From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Hello, welcome to your New Page Patrol School page! Every person I instruct will have their own page on which I will give them support and tasks for them to complete. Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist. Your NPP School page has been specifically designed according to you and what you have requested instruction in - for that reason, please be as specific as possible when under my instruction, so that I know the best ways to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working).

Make sure you read through Wikipedia:Notability as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.

How to use this page

This page will be built up over your time in the Academy, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might just ask a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide diffs to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them. Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page.

Notability

[edit]

PART 1

When patrolling or reviewing an article, you may often come across articles do not meet the WP:N guidelines, but the editors make the edits in good faith. Please read WP:AGF and do not WP:BITE the new editors.

A. Notability is a test guidelines to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article in Wikipedia mainspace. Please read Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, General Notability Guidelines, Specific Notability Guidelines, Stand-alone list before completing the following tasks.


General notability guidelines

[edit]

1. In your own words, why it is important to WP:AGF and not WP:BITE new editors.

Answer: Assuming good faith is crucial as the majority of people engaging in Wikipedia act with an aim to enhance it otherwise it wouldn't work. Mistakes and Wikipedia policy breaches appear not because people intend to do harm, but due to their lack of knowledge on what's appropriate or not in the community standards, which were elaborated over time. In all situations it's for the best to behave in a civilized manner, not give rise to or support fights. As Wikipedia encouraged editors to be bold, "biting" is logically excluded. It's obvious that anybody in the new field makes mistakes, and Wikipedia is no exception. Therefore it's important to avoid attacks on new editors which may result in unpleasant situations such as fights or their leave and subsequent loss to the community (this could have been a great editor). To resolve any arising issue there is a set of instruments such as dispute resolutions, consensus, talk pages for discussion and so on. --Less Unless (talk) 01:37, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

checkY. Good. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 04:52, 3 December 2019 (UTC)


2. In your own words, how does notability is defined in Wikipedia?

Answer: Something is notable if it has been mentioned in a third-party independent reliable sources hence is a verifiable fact. It doesn't matter if the subject is popular or not, as long as it meets the requirement above and is not an original research. --Less Unless (talk) 01:37, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

checkY. In Wikipedia, notability means "worthy to be noted" - it is defined as a topic is "presumably" notable for stand-alone article or list if (1) it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject whee by the sources talk "directly" about the subject in depth and in length and not only passing mentioned and (2) it is not excluded under the What WP:Wikipedia is not policy. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 04:52, 3 December 2019 (UTC)


3. Does a step by step instructions on how to "Change a car tire" considered a notable topic in Wikipedia?

Answer: No, per WP:NOTMANUAL. Wikipedia allows descriptions of things but not imperative instructions on how to use them. --Less Unless (talk) 01:37, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

checkY. Right as Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a how to manual site. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 04:52, 3 December 2019 (UTC)


4. What are the differences between A WP:GNG and a specific notability guidelines? how do we determine which one to use when patrolling an article?

Answer: GNG are used for all the articles posted on WIkipedia regardless of the topic. Specific guidelines offer a more in-depth criteria for different topics. When patrolling an article we should first check if it complies with GNG, if it fails, it's important to check SNG which may save the article from deletion. --Less Unless (talk) 01:37, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

checkY. Both can be used when patrolling but those subject falls under SNG/SSG (sport specific guidelines) but fails to meet the WP:GNG guidelines would sometimes nominated for deleteion WP:AfD for discussion to determine the status of the article. (We will cover AfD in later assignment).

Specific notability guidelines

[edit]

5. If an editor creates an article about "2024 Summer Olympics" in 2019 without providing any sources, is the subject considered not notable and why?

Answer: The subject is considered notable as 1. it had widespread effect as an international event, 2. it has already been written about in independent sources. 3. it's in relatively near future with set place and dates (Summer Olympics 2040 would not pass for instance). --Less Unless (talk) 01:37, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

checkY Very well. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 04:52, 3 December 2019 (UTC)


B. Without considered of sources/content policies and review just based on "subject specific notability" (SSN) "alone" for sake of the exercises below, please answer if the subject meets the SSN guidelines, based on the given content below, and specify which notability criteria they meet or fail.


6. A New York city based 2019 start up software company , specializing in data mining, has just received a USD 200K investor fund.

Answer: the subject fails to meet the SSN guidelines based on the information given. It doesn't have any products yet, no mentions in independent reliable secondary ==+sources, it's new and even the investment doesn't make it notable until there is some noteworthy outcome.

Topic Explanation 5 Examples Comment by Cass
Reliable source Reliable sources are those that are published, are known for fact-checking and accuracy and are independent of the subject of the article. In reliability the context matters - the age of the source, it's author and publisher all influence the reliability.
  1. (example)The Guardian newspaper
  2. The New York Times
  3. The Economist
  4. New Scientist (weekly UK science magazine)
  5. Aviation Week & Space Technology (weekly US aerospace industry magazine)
checkY. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 15:17, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
User generated sources These are websites whose content is mainly created by users, for example personal websites, blogs, forums, social media. These types of sources are not considered acceptable.
  1. Facebook
  2. Wordpress
  3. Any personal webpage
  4. Wikipedia
  5. Chrunchbase
checkY. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 15:17, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
Non Independent source Non independent source is the one that is in any way affiliated with the subject of an article. It has a clear conflict of interests. Such sources may be influenced in different ways (editorial policy, payments, personal contacts) so they are considered unacceptable.
  1. Press releases
  2. Webpages created by the subject of an article, self published sources.
  3. Sponsored articles and videos.
  4. Any media affiliated with the subject of an article
  5. Original research

4. Please explain in your own words why the content claimed needs to be verified?

Answer: All the content has to be verified as it's one of the key policies of Wikipedia. Any user should be able to find the information provided on Wikipedia in other reliable published sources. Wikipedia as a tertiary source only compiles the information. So there has to be an inline citation provided to a reliable independent source. Unverified information should be deleted.

It's important to verify the information as it's crucial no to spread the untruthful information that may cause misunderstanding and even harm. Less Unless (talk) 23:45, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

checkY. Content needs to verifiable so we may know where the info/source from for we could know if the source is independent and/or reliable, and not because it is the facts or true - see WP:But it's true!. If source indicated XXX is from Jamaica but the fact XXX is from Cuba, we put XXX is from Jamaica in article as per source. We will correct the info when the sources (not need to be the same source) correct itself. For example Alexander the Great - How he die is based on which sources you read, from poising, to malaria and typhoid fever to infectious (meningitis) to acute pancreatitis and etc. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 15:17, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
5.Could we used Wikipedia as the source? and why?

Answer: No, Wikipedia can't be considered as a source as it's a tertiary source that only compiles the information already published. It's written by many people with different backgrounds and interests which may affect the content. Moreover there are numerous articles that are in the process of creation and that haven't been reviewed yet which means there can be many mistakes and unverified information.Less Unless (talk) 23:45, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

checkY. Wikipedia can not be the sources as the content of Wikipedia is supported by "other sources" - See WP:CIRCULAR. Wikipedia is a online knowledge sharing platform. Readers should check the sources in the article and verify/read the info themselves. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 15:17, 27 December 2019 (UTC)


6.Give an example and explain why a source is reliable but not independent of a subject?

Answer: An autobiography of Benjamin Franklin in an article about him published by Oxford University Press is reliable (as the house is reputable and the author writes about himself), but not independent as the autobiography is a primary source, where the author describes first hand his life and work. Wikipedia needs secondary sources. Less Unless (talk) 11:15, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

checkY. Good. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 15:17, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
7.Give an example and explain why a source is independent source but not reliable?

Answer: A user on Amazon offers a pen of Benjamin Franklin for sale accompanied with a story. It's independent as the user has no connection to Benjamin Franklin but not reliable as it's a user generated content not supported by any other sources.Less Unless (talk) 11:15, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Fallingwater, Mill Run, Pennsylvania (1937)

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. His creative period spanned more than 70 years. He works includes The Guggenheim, swirling, snail-shaped museum in the middle of Manhattan.[1][2] Fallingwater, which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture."[3] This is one of Wright's most famous private residences (completed 1937), was built for Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., at Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Constructed over a 30-foot waterfall, it was designed according to Wright's desire to place the occupants close to the natural surroundings. The house was intended to be more of a family getaway, rather than a live-in home.[4]

Less Unless Good day. See Assignment 2 above. Please ping me when you have finished with the assignment and ready for a review. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 12:53, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
Hello, CASSIOPEIA(talk). I have finished the assignments, however I have two questions, where I had most doubts. 1. Is primary source (such as personal profile in social media) considered reliable? I've read that it is, but I don't know, somehow I have doubts. The person can write anything about themselves... 2) Significant coverage - somehow I can't see the clear difference between trivial mentions and short mentions, which can be considered significant. Like in Martina Hingis book mention - she is mentioned as one of the high-paid players. Is it trivial or not? I would be grateful for your answers. Best, Less Unless (talk) 11:40, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
Less Unless. (1) A primary source especially those from their home page/official website, interview, Facebook, Instragram, Twitter, Blogs, LinkedIn they are considered not reliable and not independent for the info we get is from the subject themselves or their associates (marketing/advertising team, club, friends and etc). (2) Significant coverage means the sources talk about the subject in details and in dept and not only passing mentioned. Do note for a article to be accepted in Wikipedia mainspace for good (we will talk above deletion of articles in the later assignments), the article need to be notable and supported by multiple (at least 5 to 7+) independent, reliable sources where by the sources talk about the subject in depth and in length and not passing mentioned. However, once that is achieved some other primary can be used sparingly as supplement for some minor/claim info of the subject where by the sources do not talk about other subject.
Need 10 more answers for Q 2 (Primary sources) and let me know if you have further questions. Kindly see notes below. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 15:17, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
CASSIOPEIA(talk), I have added additional 10 examples, sorry, I wasn't attentive. I don't feel confident about the sources yet, so I would be grateful for some additional assignments if possible (like the previous time, I learn well from mistakes). And, again, like the last time, you can give me the next assignment which I will start after the additional questions on this section. Thank you, Less Unless (talk) 18:29, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Less Unless I moved your question to the same assignment communication section here, so it would be easy to refer them. I below you meant Assignment 2 Q19 and Q20 instead of assignments 19 and 20. There are refs for both questions and I am not sure what you meant. Could you pls elaborate pls? CASSIOPEIA(talk) 06:44, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
CASSIOPEIA, Hm, it's weird, maybe it was some king of bug. Now everything looks correct. Sorry for bothering. Less Unless (talk) 16:43, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
CASSIOPEIA, it happened again - when you edit in visual editor - all the references in the reflist are the ones from the CIA guy from the assignment before. It's not a big deal, I can still see the proper ones, but it's just weird, I don't understand why it's happening. I can provide you with the printscreens. Moreover it happens to all the further assignment from module 3. Can you please take a look. Thank you. Less Unless (talk)
Less Unless I also use visual editor and I dont have the problem. I can see all the refs as they are. Visual editor do have some trouble from time to time, I used certain function of visual editor and it froze and I restated my lap top and the same thing happened again and again. So i think it is the software issues, which I know the software team is working on fixing some of the bugs in visual editor. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 11:02, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Information on the child should be immediately removed as it is not backed by any sources. (WP:GOSSIP, WP:GRAPEVINE). In the biographies of living persons it's crucial to provide only information available in multiple independent reliable sources.

Neutral point of view

[edit]

P;lease read WP:NPOV and MOS:PUFF. Point out the WP:NPOV words/pharses and rewrite the paragraph on Question 9& 10 from a neutral point of view.

9. She is a brilliant boxer with a rare and exceptional beauty. She turned Pro at the age of 19 after winning one amateur fight on December 14, 2013 where she destroyed her opponent in 20 seconds. Her talent and marketability made her a fighter to watch right out the gate and she fought under XXX promotion on her next fight on February 2014.

Answer: The words that need to be removed: brilliant, rare and exceptional beauty, destroyed, talent and marketability, to watch right out the gate.

She is a boxer. She started competing on professional level at the age of 19 after winning an amateur fight in 20 seconds on December 14, 2013. She fought her next fight on February 2014 under XXX promotion.

11. Please read WP:DUE and in your own words, please explain why it is important to provide balance and due weight content in an article.

Answer: WP:NPOV is a core policy of Wikipedia. It requires that everything posted in the mainspace should fairly represent all significant viewpoints in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in the published, reliable sources. Therefore it's crucial to give due weight to the fact presented - this means it should be clear from the article which viewpoints are the majority and which the minority. This is achieved by placement of information, detailed/less detailed description and other means.Less Unless (talk) 17:57, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

checkY. Take Capital punishment article for example - it provides a balance and due weight content, representing all mainstream points of view in reliable sources. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 02:24, 20 January 2020 (UTC)



No original research

[edit]
Please read WP:OR and WP:NOT and answer the questions below
12. In your own words, why Wikipedia is not a platform to publish original research?

Answer: Wikipedia's inclusion policies require all the content to be previously published by numerous independent reliable sources. It doesn't allow any opinions or ideas. Original research is a subjective point of view, not reviewed or fact checked by reliable sources. Less Unless (talk) 16:17, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

checkY. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 02:24, 20 January 2020 (UTC)


13. In your own words, please provide one example with explanation when it is appropriate to insert an original research or an opinion in an article.

Answer: The only reason to insert an original research or opinion in the article is when they were mentioned in multiple secondary reliable sources - peer-reviewed journals, respected online publications, etc. Otherwise such information can't be included. Less Unless (talk) 09:04, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

☒N. We could use exact words from the source in the article when (1) it is a public domain sites (2) the author/site has released their copyright and anyone to use the content/image such as " agree to irrevocably agree to release content/image under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL or under the Creative Commons license. (3) a direct quote and provide the source. Example Constitution of the United States and in Robert Whittaker (fighter) page (see below direct quote). CASSIOPEIA(talk) 02:24, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

In an interview with GQ Australia, he stated:

I am immensely proud to be an Australian and to be a pioneer in the sport to, you know, lead, lead today's MMA scene against all these other countries, you know, it really, it really does light me up, to see that the Australian flag when I walk out, you know, to hear them called out that I'm Australian and I am very patriotic.

Verifiability

[edit]
Please read WP:V and answer the questions below
15. If the subject has two sons and it is supported by three independent, reliable sources but in reality he has 3 sons. Could we change the content from "2" sons to "3 sons"? and why?

Answer: We can not change content as of WP:NOTTRUTH. All the information on Wikipedia must have been previously published by multiple independent reliable sources - that is a necessary condition. Only such information can be added. Wikipedia respects the truth, but includes only information from secondary reliable sources, not just because it is true. Such content can be changed after it is published. Less Unless (talk) 16:17, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

9. Pls read WP:R2 and WP:NPPDRAFT. Please explain when to a new page can nominated CSD R2 and what should be considered when doing such move?

Answer: A page can be nominated R2 if it's a redirect from the mainspace to to userspace or draftspace. Such a redirect may be automatically generated when we move an article which requires additional improvement to comply with Wikipedia standards. R2 can't be used for redirects to Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help and Portal namespaces. Less Unless (talk) 22:13, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

checkY. We move articles to the draftspace to allow articles to be developed especially potential but unsourced WP:BLP article. Use R2 sparingly as some admins do not like pages to be move to draft page even WP:NPPDRAFT states the move is a safe place for editor to adding necessary sources, they would deems the if the articles are not improved or edit in 6 months, it will be G13.

[edit]
Pls read WP:COI and WP:PAID and answer the following question
11. How do we spot a COI/PAID editor?

Answer: A COI/PAID editor can be spotted due to their editing behavior. Such an editor is likely to violate NPOV, adding advertisement (both direct and covert) and puffery, his text may lack Wikipedia:DUE, highlighting only one side, their username may show a relation to the subject of the article, the contribution history consist only of single type edits (all corporate, for instance), etc. Having COI is not necessarily a bad thing, however it's often hard to be objective which shows in an article. Less Unless (talk) 22:56, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

checkY. See further info on Notes section. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 09:06, 4 March 2020 (UTC)


12. What you should do when you review an NPP article and notice the creator is a COI editor?

Answer: For an editor it's required to disclose such an affiliation either on their user page, or in the edit summary. Also the best way to behave in such case is to propose edits via request edit procedure or create articles through AfC. If the notice lacks and the edits are made, there should be a tag placed on top. Also the edits should be checked to comply with Wikipedia inclusion policies, such as notability, NPOV, due weight, copyright. If the edits comply with the policies, they are good to go, however the coi notice should be placed. (Not completely sure about this one). Less Unless (talk) 22:56, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

checkY. Report to WP:COIN if needed. Add {{subst:Uw-coi}} to their talk page and and tag COI on the page via twinkle. Editor can create/edit a COI page if they WP:Disclose it on the article talk page and their user page and edit the content with NPOV. COI editor can create a page in new page, however, many admins do ague they should go through AfC just like WP:PAID editors. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 09:06, 4 March 2020 (UTC)


13. Please read WP:PAID. What you should do when you review an NPP article and notice the creator is a paid editor? Answer: Paid editing should be disclosed. If such an editor fails or refuses to disclose the required information (client, employer, affiliation), they are prohibited from editing. The violation of these requirements may be reported to the Administrators' Noticeboard (Incidents) or the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard but it's important not to reveal editors private information. The other option is reporting via email.Less Unless (talk) 22:56, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Less Unless For MyCSD - just click "install" on top of this page. For CV revdel, see below
1. go to your common.js - here
2. Place {{subst:iusc|User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js}} on the "2nd line" and save the edit.
3. go back to Your/common.js page (click edit) and see if the script has been installed (it should look something like "importScript('User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js'); //Linkback: User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js' Added by Script installer")
4. then you need to Wikipedia:Bypass your cache - follow the instructions as it depends which search engine you use.

Dear CASSIOPEIA. I am having a hard time with the assignment on G12 nominations. I've read the guidelines twice, but I feel lost. For example, this draft has a copyright infringement - some text is copied. But the editor disclosed a COI, moreover I suspect OR and notability issues. What should I do in such case. I can't nominate for G12 obviously as only a part is violated, I don't know if the editor granted the rights to Wikipedia... Can you please guide me on this.Less Unless (talk) 23:24, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
Also I have 2 more questions concerning CSD. 1. How or where can I check if the article was previously deleted and under what conditions - where can I find the deletion discussion? (G4) 2. How can I check if the user who created the article was blocked or not? (G5) Thank you! Less Unless (talk) 23:39, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
Less Unless (1) Copyvio vs Revdel - If only a small part is copyvio then it would considered WP:REVDEL. We tag revdel so admin would remove the copyvio content and suppress view the edits in article history page. If big chunk of the content is copyvio then we tag G12. Go to Article for Creation (Draft pages) and you would more likely to find G12 articles there. (2) AfD - go to All public log page and paste the article's name under "Target (title or User:username for user)" and click show. If the subject has been previously deleted, then it will show the logs there - see example here. (3) At [New Page Feed: New Page Patrol you can see "block" show up on the left side of the article if the editor is blocked or you can simply go to the creator user page and/or creator talk page and see if they are block. Do note that we tag G5 only if the the page is created by the creator after the creator had been block created prior. If the creator is blocked after the page was recreated than G5 does not apply. Best. By the way pls provide all hist diffs for all CSD/PROD/AfD/COPYVIO/ Revdel and etc. Best. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 15:38, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

CASSIOPEIA, thank you for assistance. I am monitoring both NPP and AfC, however the vast majority of the articles is created in one edit which makes it impossible to use Revdel (If I got the usage of it right). Therefore I nominated couple of articles for G12 when they had more than 50% of the text violated. Some of the contributors changed the text so now it doesn't violate copyright, some articles were draftified. So I am waiting for the eligible articles and there are not many (at least when I am monitoring) which would qualify as G12. However this is a great experience. By making mistakes I have better learnt the CSD criteria. Less Unless (talk) 11:28, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Less Unless This is your contribution log (you can find it on very top menu of every Wikipedia page next to log out icon.) You can also provide me the hist diff from the article page you edited. I can see the page was deleted but I can see who nominated it when I check on public log that is the reason I need the hist diff. Since sucessfully nominated pages to be deleted is one of the major criteria for this program, I could see all you CSDs from you CSD log not just the one you place in the assignment. For example from you CSD log you nominated Cris Pedrozo for A7 and it was declined by admin. For the his diff, the article (the version when you nominated the article for A7] "did" have a claim of significant and A7 could not be applied. Example of A7 content would be "Jose Cristian Pedrozo, known under the artistic name Cris Pedrozo, is a Uruguayan singer who practice with his band at his father garage on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. They train very hard and hope to perform on the "Teacher Day" at the school auditorium on coming August 2020." or ""Jose Cristian Pedrozo, known under the artistic name Cris Pedrozo, is a Uruguayan singer. He loves singing since the age of 5 and convinces his parents to buy him a guitar so he could also write his own songs one day" or Draft:Liran Flier The Legend It Self but not Draft:Bhavik Tadigotla- Get it? (Pls note we can NOT CSD a draft page - there is other way to delete the draft which is not covered in this program - let me know if you want to know more about it) If a page do a have claim of significant even without a single source then it does not qualify A7. Dont A7 if there are some info on External link section. You can either do a WP:PROD, WP:BLPPROD or a WP:AfD (see Assignment 5 - they do have some different requirements). As for Durga Krishna you nominated G4, we could not see the deleted version, so we have to go by the content of the current version which I agree with the reviewer that G4 did not apply. G4 usually happens when the same or other editor create the same article name (sometimes slightly different such as using full name vs just the first and last name) with the same content/slightly different content which the subject has yet to show any notability . It usually happens within a week to a few months from the AfD date. However, to say that, some subjects are not notable irregardless how long the time passes such as if the subject is a basketball player in local circuit in Nepal unless he could pass GNG in some new developments in his life, the subject will fail GNG/SSN as no amount of editing can help to make the subject notable. Do note CSD is a quick process and it needs to fit the criteria. We will look at the differences and when to apply CSD, PROD, BLPPROD and R2 in Assignment 5. If you do a lot of nominations or prolific with your contribution, I would not able to check them all but will look at some of them only. Hope this help. Thank you.

Notes

G11 (promo) - What constitute a G11? At times it is hard to define. Although if a article is bluntly promote or advertise about the subject then it is a G11. Sometimes, the it is a little subtle and that would be a judgement call. As a rule of thumb, if article about an entertainers (actor/singer/DJ/artist and etc) in dept of how hard they work, how motivated they are, using all the puffery/flowery languages and especially the subject does not meet notability guidelines. For a corporation, we would see they list down all they product/services, their directors/key person in the company, they mission, their client, they are the influencer in their industrial, all the words/phrased to enhance/market the company and no substantial info that is supported by independent reliable sources.


G12 (copyvio) -

Copyright violation addresses the use of original expression without permission of the holder which is a violation of laws even the credit is given to the source. For articles, the Copyright Law gives the copyright protection to the “original works of authorship fixed in in a tangible medium of expression” in the newspaper, magazine and freelance article at the moment of their creation, for the life of the creator plus 70 years after, and 95 years for corporation publication or 120 years from date of creation, whichever is shorter.


A “fact” is not considered an original work of authorship; but how the ways facts are recorded where the style of the writing, choice and/or arrangement of words are copyrightable. An infringement of copyright is committed when a person uses the “exact words /almost exact words in a consecutive manner” of the author/holder. To note, as a guideline, a few words copies from the original works and an idea of expression such as "weather the storm", 'crossing the Rubicon" "as dead as a doornail" and etc. proper nouns, document/event/treaty/person/title/ names are generally acceptable and so is a direct quote of speech. However, any longer phrases which would be expression in a number of ways are copyright protected. To use one of two short sentences on a large article generally is ok but it will considered infringement if the edit entry is consists of big percentage of the original work and yet for some (such as newspaper/press/journalism that takes their work very seriously - anything more than 4 exact consecutively words would considered copyvio). To avoid copyright infringement, one needs uses his/her own words to convey the source’s information. Paraphrasing could minimize the the copyright violation; however, "threshold" ultimately, court judgement would determined the if copyright violation has been made.

Copyvio for texts or images shared the same notion that it is not a copyvio if the verbatim texts or images are taken from free licence and Public domain sites/specific page/image. Always check the "original source" even if in WikiCommon the editor who upload the image claim taken from a PD site, we need to check the link provided and if the site indicate the image taken from another source, then we check the source. For texts, we need to check the sites if it is a PD, sometimes the disclaimer of PD is not on the page, but on the home page or "about" page or FAQ page. Secondly, for older article (no in NPP Feed), any copyvio texts found, we will revdel it as it is almost always it is not the first versions. If a small amount of verbatim texts found in NPP Feed articles, we would revdel them; but large amount of verbatim texts we will tag G12.


Lastly, here are a few examples where the German car maker Audi was sued for copyright breach.

1. Audi infringed copyright violation over Eminem’s song “Lose Yourself” in their commercial advertising. [26]

2. Audi was fined US $ 965,000 over copyright infringement for using 10 words from Brian Andreas’s story of “Angel of Mercy” - [27]

I think I just had a wake-up call, and it was disguised as a car, and it was screaming at me not to get too comfortable and fall asleep and miss my life. (Audi commercial) Some people don’t know that there are angels whose only job is to make sure you don’t get too comfortable & fall asleep & miss your life.(Brian Andreas’ print)


Spot COI / PAID COI editors are permitted to edit Wikipedia and create on the affected articles; however, it is "HIGHLY DISCOURAGE/NOT RECOMMENDED as it is very difficult for the COI editors to write the article/input info into the affected article in [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view}}.

1.Use person pronouns and possessives (I, we, my, our) 2.Multiple references to company, financial listings, staff lists, interviews, own publication, press release, blog and with clean references 3.Well written prose 'too perfect to be true' and only with single/2 edits 4.Editors have created multiple company related articles 5.Editors disclosed their COI/PAID in their userpage (not tag with COI disclose), or disclosure when they ask question in WP:Teahouse, WP:Help Desk, WP:AFCHD or receivers' talk pages.


A7/A9/A11 - Credible claim of significance - If the subject content do have such claim, then it is not a A7 even the article at the present stage of the article is not notable. Choose other method. (1) after a WP:BEFORE and found no independent reliable sources to support the notability requirements, then nominated for WP:AFD, or R2 to draft space if no sources are provided (do R2 sparingly). If it is a {[WP:BLP]] without source, then WP:BLPPROD or R2. - see Wikipedia:Credible claim of significance


Hope the above help. Note the above does not substitute the Wikipedia links and reading material I provided.


Filtering - Deletion policy & other alternatives

[edit]

In assignment 4, we look at articles which fits in WP:Criteria for speedy deletion (CSD) where by the the articles are deleted within a few hours to 24 hours from the time of the nomination. In Assignment 5, we discuss the what actions should be taken for those articles do not fit under the CSD criteria but do not meet relevant criteria for content of the encyclopedia.


Please read WP:PROD, WP:BLPPROD, WP:MERGE, WP:DRAFTIFY, WP:NPPDRAFT and WP:REDIR, WP:AFD and answer the following questions. (Provide links and hisdiff where they are applied.)


1. Under what circumstances do we propose deletion (PROD) a page and why do we do that?

Answer: We propose a deletion when we believe that the subject isn't eligible to secure themselves an article and the deletion would be uncontroversial - meaning that noone will object. (anyone, even the creator, can object to PROD). If the tag survives 7 days and a reviewing administrator also decides to delete the article - it will be deleted. However it can be undeleted if any editor requests that.

We propose deletion if the article doesn't meet any of CSD criteria, but according to Wikipedia policies should not be included. PROD is an easier option than AfD or FfD as it doesn't require discussion, however if someone objected to PROD it can't be used anymore.Less Unless (talk) 11:20, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

checkY. Cassiopeia(talk) 05:36, 21 March 2020 (UTC)



2. What should we do before we PROD a page? and what should be considered /action during a nomination?

Answer: Before the nomination it's crucial to check several things:

1) If the article has a good reason to be deleted. One should consider all the possible alternative options - enhance the article if possible or move to drafts for improvement by other editors (if the article has potential), merge or redirect. Deletion is the last option. It's also important to check the history to make sure that current state was not caused as result of vandalism and whether by reverting the edits it can be somehow saved.

1) When nominating it's important to check if the article is eligible for PROD: 1) Has it been PRODed before? 2) Has it ever been a subject of AfD/FfD discussion? 3) Has it been undeleted? If any of the above mentioned is true we can't PROD anymore - PROD can be used only ones. (but we can use AfD or FfD).

When nominating it's important to give a clear good reason for it in the tag placed on top of the article and a clear description in the summary. It's considered a good practice to inform the creator of the article about the PROD and place a Old prod tag on the article's talk page. Also it's useful to add the page to your watchlist. Less Unless (talk) 11:20, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

checkY very good. Cassiopeia(talk) 05:36, 21 March 2020 (UTC)



3. What is the criteria when nominated a BLPPROD? If we choose not to BLPPROD a page what are the alternatives? (give three examples with explanations)

Answer:

To be eligible for a BLPPROD, the article should be a biography of a living person and have no sources at all. The tag may be removed after adding at least one reliable source to back any statement.

checkY yes the key is living biography with no source. Cassiopeia(talk) 05:36, 21 March 2020 (UTC)


The alternatives to BLPPROD are:

1.   Check the history in order to make sure the sources weren't deleted as a result of vandalism. If not research to find reliable sources and add them to the article.

2.   AfD or PROD if the subject definitely fails WP:GNG or speedy deletion if the subject meets criteria.

3.   Any unsourced negative or contentious statements can be removed without adding the tag. Less Unless (talk) 16:54, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

checkY The other alternative (1) AfD but pls do a WP:BEFORE first. (2) PROD if it is not a contravesial nomination. (3) Moved to draft if the R2 criteria is met (request a R2). 4. CSD if the page meet CSD criteria. (5) Place inline citation into the body text after find proper independent reliable sources an edit to meet GNG and mark review. Cassiopeia(talk) 05:36, 21 March 2020 (UTC)


4. In what circumstances we nominate an AFD and what step should be done prior such action.

Answer:We nominate AfD when we believe the subject fails Wikipedia inclusion criteria (both general and specific) but may be controversial (doesn't fit into CSD, PROD, BLPPROD) and require community discussion prior to deletion. Before nominating an article for deletion there's a number of steps that need to be taken: 1. Make sure the article can't be deleted per CSD, PROD or BLPPROD. 2. Try to enhance to article or inform the creator on this. Conduct a research to find reliable sources and if possible enhance the entry. Also check if there are interlanguage links and the quality of articles they are linked to. 3. Check history and talk page to find out if the article was vandalized\has been nominated before (what issues\objections were raised) 4. Consider other options – like draftify or merge if they apply. Less Unless (talk) 16:54, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

checkY very good. The main points are (1) it the article doesn't not meet CSD, PROD or BLP PROD. (2) Do a WP:BEFORE before nominate the article for AfD. Cassiopeia(talk) 05:36, 21 March 2020 (UTC)



5 How long do PROD, BLPPROD and AFD last prior it is deleted or decline?

Answer: All of the above mentioned nominations must last at least 7 full days. Less Unless (talk) 16:54, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

checkY. For AfD, if there is no voters or only a few voters or mixed vote, the AfD will be relisted for another 7 days. Usually it will be relisted max 2 more times. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:16, 28 March 2020 (UTC)


6. When a page has been previously BLPROD and was provide a source; however if you still think that article should be deleted, what can you do?

Answer: BLPPROD doesn't supersede any of the other deletion policies, therefore the article previously tagged BLPPROD still can be deleted per speedy deletion, PROD or AfD. Also it can be draftified or merged. Less Unless (talk) 16:54, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

checkY well-done. Cassiopeia(talk) 05:36, 21 March 2020 (UTC)


7. When do we decide whether an article should be PROD or WP:BLPROD or WP:AFD?

Answer:After having checked for possible options to avoid deletion (such as improvement, draftifying, redirecting or merging) we might consider the deletion. If we think the deletion is uncontroversial, but the article doesn't qualify for any of the CSD, we can use PROD. PROD can be used only once and should survive 7 days. If the article is contested we can still nominate it per AfD. If the article is a biography of a living person without a single source of any form we may use BLPPROD. If the tag is removed (after having added at least one reliable source) we can still nominate it for PROD or AfD if we believe it doesn't comply with Wikipedia policies. We use AfD if CSD, PROD OR BLPPROD do not apply. The deletion discussion lasts for 7 days and closes after reaching a community consensus. Less Unless (talk) 16:54, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

checkY Right. The first thing we do when we review an article is to check if the article content fit CSD criteria especially G11 and G12. For G12, if the article is considered a sub class (few short/simple sentences such as XXX is the senator of New York, US. He won the contest on December 9, 2019 with 1000 votes.) and have a few inline citations - then G12 usually dosnt apply. However, for normal start class article with only a few sources or single source or it is very well written or have a flair of commercial/business jargon then we need to always check if G12 violation is made via Earwig copyivo dictation tool. we see this a lot in article concerning a musician, organisation and company where editor copy and paste the content from the websites especial. Cassiopeia(talk) 05:36, 21 March 2020 (UTC)


8. What are the reason to WP:Merge a page to another page?

Answer: There are several possible reasons to merge two or more pages or propose a merger (if it appears controversial): 1. One article duplicates another. Information which lacks in the receiving article can be added by copying it. 2. Two or more articles on related topics have a large bulk of the same content. In such case it's sensible to create one article with a broader scope of content. 3. Very short articles that aren't expected to be expanded or can't be expanded as there's not much information on the subject. 4. If one article requires additional information for better understanding which is already available in another larger article. Less Unless (talk) 16:54, 13 March 2020 (UTC)


checkY for your answer 1 above, we normally see the subject is the same but in slightly different name (such as one article use full name of a person, and the other use only first and last name) or same event but the articles names are slightly different names. Cassiopeia(talk) 05:36, 21 March 2020 (UTC)


9. List 10 reasons we propose a WP:REDIR.

Answer: The redirect function has many purposes. We can create redirects: 1.for alternative names of the article's subject to the one that is most suitable under WP:COMMONNAME. Also possible alternative spellings and likely misspellings. 2.for less specific forms of names and more specific forms of names to WP:COMMONNAME. 3.from abbreviations and initialisms as found in reliable sources 4.punctuation issues (dashes to hyphens, and vice versa) depending on official spelling or Wikipedia policy as well as common transliterations. 5.from plurals to singular forms which are generally preffered. 6.from closely related words. 7.from adjectives/adverbs to nouns. 8.from alternative capitalizations or old Wikipedia CamelCase links 9.to topics which are described within a wider article. 10.Also widely used in project space for shortcuts (different essays and policies) Less Unless (talk) 16:54, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

checkY. Cassiopeia(talk) 05:36, 21 March 2020 (UTC)


10. When an article can be moved to a draft space?

Answer: An article can be moved to draft space when it has potential or is of certain interest, but it's current quality isn't good enough to meet Wikipedia standards. These can be articles that are poorly written, lack reliable (or any) sources (even though the subject seems notable), or otherwise not ready for the mainspace. The article can be draftified as a result of deletion discussion, when author is given a chance to enhance the entry or in case of COI – to engage other editors. Also articles can be draftified as a save from deletion, and deleted after 6 month if there will be no activity. Less Unless (talk) 16:54, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

checkY when we do a R2 (move an article from new page to draft space), we need to make sure the article has a potential to meet GNG, not a signel source is provided. If the article do have some info on the External link section, notes, official websites links then dont do a R2. Also, only do a R2 sparingly. Even though move to draft is a space place for the creator to add the relevant sources into the article -see WP:BURDEN but some admins would considered it is a "rod to deletion", since if the creator does not do add in the source and click the submission button, the article might nominate for deletion under G13 six months later. So be aware. Cassiopeia(talk) 05:36, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

  2. we CAN NOT do Afd/PROP/BLDP for draft article. (This program is set for New Page Petrol (NPP) only; as for draft space (Article for Creation (AfC), though some the guidelines apply in both NPP and AfC, the reviewing process and criteria is different. If you are interest after you have finished this NPP program, I could guide you through it so you would also able to obtain AfC reviewer right) You can do CSD for both new page or for draft (Article for creation (AfC) page).
  3. Kindly redo Q15 for R2. R2 is to move page to other namespace except the Category:, Template:, Wikipedia:, Help: and Portal: namespaces. Here we do R2 for NPP page to draft space which is not similar process as AfD/PROP/BLPPROD. We do a R2 for potential new page where no a source is provided. If the article do have some info on the External link section, notes, official websites links then dont do a R2. Also, only do a R2 sparingly. Even though move to draft is a space place for the creator to add the relevant sources into the article -see WP:BURDEN but some admins would considered it is a "rod to deletion", since if the creator does not do add in the source and click the submission button, the article might nominate for deletion under G13 six months later.

Cassiopeia I have replaced assignment 15, but I doubt I understood you correctly. Please take a look. Thank you. Less Unless (talk) 18:47, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
Less Unless, R2 vs normal move: Normal move via twinkle is a move without the permission of a admin. A R2 is a "request" to move the article from new page to draft space and it needs to be approved by an admin. An editor can do a R2 if they have "page move manager user right" which most of the reviewers do not have. A draft page can be moved by any confirmed editor to article space (the article still need to be reviewed by NPP editor); but for a new page to be moved to draft space, it would be better to request a R2. We have 3 venues to create an article (1) New page WP:NPP by any confirmed user and the article will be reviewed by a NPP reviewer (which this is the program you are talking to be a NPP reveiwer) (2) Draft page (Article for Creation WP:AfC)- by unconfirmed or new editors who are not familiar how to create an article and guidelines/ requirements. The draft article will be reviewed by an AfC reviewer/patroller. Once the draft article is accepted by a AfC reveiwer, the article will be placed in NPP queue for a NPP reveiwer to go through them, and if it is accepted then it will be placed in the mainspace. Google would index the article in Google search engine once the page is in Wikipedia mainspace (usually it takes about 24-48 hours after the article is in the mainspace). If a reviewer is both a AfC and NPP reveiwer, then once the draft page is accepted it will placed int he mainspace directly. (3) for a editor who has "autopatroller" user right, they can write an article and the article is self reveiwed/patolled and will be placed in the manspace directly. To request for a R2, place {{Db-r2|bot=Not a single source provided}} (or bot= the reason you nominate this article for R2). Hope this help. If you need to clarify further, pls let me know.
Q11 (5) and A12 (2) - will wait until the closing of th AfD. Cassiopeia(talk) 09:10, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
Less Unless see above about R2. Cassiopeia(talk) 05:39, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
Cassiopeia I am very sorry, but I don't understand the R2. I understand that it can't be used for drafs as it's a way to move an article to draft for improvement - I haven't placed it on a draft - this I understand :) If you take a look at the history you'll see that it was draftified after I placed a tag by another user. Here it was draftified almost an hour after my nomination. Also it was just moved without any nomination.
That's how I've done it - I found an article which is potentially notable, but lacks sources. I have placed the code you mentioned here on the top of the article. Is it correct? Is it considered a nomination for draftifying?
Because another user here says that the tag I have placed is used for redirects not for articles ("not a R2 which is for redirects"). I'm losing my way here completely. R2 is what we had here in CSD section - after moving an article to draft (I am doing it manually with MOVE) I nominated the redirects left per R2. This was very clear to me. I wouldn't have bothered you with this, but I can't find any information about nominating an article per R2(there's information only about removing redirects per R2).

Initially after reading the guidelines I thought I have to move an article to draft manually (if I have NPP rights) and nominate the redirects per R2. But you explained that there's a difference between nomination for draft and moving to draft. Now I am really lost and can't understand what has to be done. Sorry( Less Unless (talk) 18:18, 29 March 2020 (UTC)


Hi Less Unless Your nomination here was correct despite it was removed by other user. Rs is "moving a page from the mainspace to another namespace when appropriate (WP:CSD#R2)". As per WP:NPPDRAFT we usually nominated a CSD#R2 when the article in new pages to draft space if the article is without source (usually BLP and a potential draft (note another alternative is to nominate for BLPPROP). Many reviewers do not use R2 for they are no familiar of R2. We only use R2 sparingly. Cassiopeia(talk) 08:20, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi Less Unless Reviewed remaining nomination for AfD. See comments. Cassiopeia(talk) 08:24, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Notes:

  • WP:NPPDRAFT /R2 - do so for articles have no sources or sources that are primary/not independent, such as from their home page, user generated sites or sport databases, club home page for sportspersons. If you could find 3 independent, reliable sources to support the notability of the subject, then please do so and add the source in the article and mark review.
  • PROD - (1) When it does not fall under CSD but not controversial deletion with the notion that it will be deleted if the article is AfDed. (2) We can only PROD the article once thus do check the history page to make sure the article has not been PROD before. (3) If the PROD is removed, do not replace it (4) PROD would last for 7 day start from the date of the nomination and will be either deleted or removed of the tag by an uninvolved admin who decides the outcome of the nomination.
  • BLPROD - (1) nominated if only there is no source for article about a living person. (2) BLPPROD can be removed only an reliable is added. (3) Even item 2 has been performed but editor still think it is should be deleted under PROD (1) criteria then a PROD can be tag. (3) if PROD (1) is not applicable and editor could nominate the article for AfD if the subject is not notable.
  • AfD - Nominated articles to AfD if the subject is not notable or fall under Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. A WP:BEFORE should be done prior the nominated. If the article states the nationlity of the subject and a local name is provided, do search the local name in said country in Google to look for sources if any (2) Reason / justification based on notability guidelines should be address when nominate AfD or participate in a AfD. (3) Do not AfD if the sources are provided but you can locate/view them due to paywall, print book/article to determined the content claimed as per sources. (4) Request paywall article /print book from WP:RX to view the content (make sure you have you email provided in your preferences page, so the RX editors could send you the article via email). (4) You might want to reconsider not to AfD an article if the sources of the article could be found mostly in other languages besides English or other languages that you dont comprehend.

Tagging

[edit]

In this assignment we look at tagging pages for problems. There any many tags available in Wikipedia and we will look at some of them here.

Tagging in the article

[edit]

Please read WP:TAGGING and answer the questions below. Please provide explanation in your own words and provide hist diff when applicable.

1. Why do we place tags on the article?

Answer: We place tags on articles to inform about certain issue(s) that exist(s) within the article. For the editors they indicate certain problems that and need to be addressed and for the readers warns them about problematic content. Less Unless (talk) 15:37, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

checkY. If we able to solve the problem then solve it instead of taggings. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:03, 28 March 2020 (UTC)


2. What does "drive by tagging" mean?

Answer: "Drive by tagging" means adding tags for problems that are not obvious without identifying them and describing well enough for them to be addressed. Every tag should refer to major obvious problem and should be justified either in the summary or in the article's talk page.Less Unless (talk) 15:37, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

checkY. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:03, 28 March 2020 (UTC)


3. List down 8 common tagging should be avoided in an article?

Answer: 1) Tags that refer to similar problems (like no footnotes and one source) 2) Over tagging with too many tags – it's more sensible to place 2-3 major and later tag the rest or improve the minor yourself if you can. 3) Wrong tags that don't address the exact problem you noticed. It's better to write about it in the talk page. 4) Non-specific tags that don't indicate what exactly should be addressed. In this case one should add explanation in the summary of on the talk page. 5) Unhelpful tags – tags that indicate the problems which if corrected won't save the article if it, for example fails the WP:GNG. It's necessary to check first if the article is eligible for Wikipedia inclusion according to the major policies. 6)Redundant tags where according to Wikipedia's article classification system the article class indicates of the problems. (most C-class articles lack enough references to be B-class, so tagging a C-class article with an article-wide tag for lack of references is nearly always redundant). 7) If the problem is easily fixed the editors are highly encouraged to do so rather than place a tag.

4. When it is appropriate to remove the tags?

Answer:

1. If you don't see the problem mentioned in the tag (and you don’t have coi) within article and there's no mention of it on the talk page you can remove the tag. Previous editors might have forgotten to do so when they corrected the issue. It's considered a good practice to leave a notice on the talk page explaining why you have removed the tag. 2. In controversial cases, you can remove a tag after reaching consensus on the articles talk page or user talk page concerning the article. If no one responses within a reasonable amount of time (4 days at least) you can remove the tag. Less Unless (talk) 17:26, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Communication and editor interactions

[edit]
Wikipedia project is a collaboration of many editors, some are experienced and some are new to the Project ad Wikipedia values all constructive editors' contributions alike. Communication in a civil, respectful manner is a vital part in Wikipedia, and it should be welcomed rather than discouraged especially to new editors who are not familiar with Wikipedia guidelines and policies for most new editors find it is a steep learning curve during the first few months of editing articles or creating articles in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia:Assume good faith, WP:BITE, WP:CIVIL, Wikipedia:Etiquette, and welcome template and answer the following questions. Do provide links and hist diff where appropriate.

Communication

[edit]
1. How do we deal with a bad faith registered user and how do we deal with a bad faith IP editor?

Answer:

First of all make sure it's a bad faith user, rather than a good faith who is not acquainted with the standards of Wikipedia. If you are 100% sure, and it's a registered user, write him a short (better personal) notice on their talk page kindly asking to stop disruptive behavior (if it's vandalism you can revert the edit first). If there's no answer and user persists in such behavior, place up to 3-5 warning depending on the level of vandalism on his talk page. If the warnings are ignored report to administrator (vandalism notice board or incidents noticeboard depending on the type of bad faith edits). An IP user should be treated with as much respect as a registered user. So making sure they are bad faith is crucial. If the user's contributions consist only of vandalism, you can trace their IP using a number of tools and place a tag {{whois}} on the talk page. Also report immediately to administrator (vandalism notice board or incidents noticeboard). In case of a single or several disruptive acts I would do the same as with the registered user – notice, then warnings, then reporting to administrator. Less Unless (talk) 13:11, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

checkY I wont marked it as meet the notability guidelines for GNG or NACTOR. In term of the sources, if source are interviews type (unless only one quote and the rest is from the press) then it is NOT indepedent as the info is gathered from the subject and cannot be used /contribute to notably requirements. In addition, if the sites are connected/associated with (such as Channel 24) then it is also considered not independent. Be careful of source content include I think, I/me... which means it is the onion of the writer and it would be not acceptable in certain form. This1 does not look reliable source to me and This-2 look like a marketing site. I usually dont review article which the info could largely could be found in in other languages/local languages as there I could not be certain other independent reliable sources would be found and that same as in AfD unless I know the subject / catogories very well such as in mixed martial arts (MMA) where I will go to the length to find the fighter local name and go to the local pages to find articles and get it translated and see anything I would use.

Notes

[edit]

Assignment 1

[edit]
  • WP:AGF and not WP:BITE -We should always help the new editors who want to provide good contribution and want to improve Wikipedia even at time they might not know the the Wikipedia guidelines
  • WP:Notability - In Wikipedia, notability means "worthy to be noted" - it is defined as a topic is "presumably" notable for stand-alone article or list if (1) it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject whee by the sources talk "directly" about the subject in depth and in length and not only passing mentioned and (2) it is not excluded under the What WP:Wikipedia is not policy.
  • WP:GNG and SSN - both could be used when reviewing an article.


Assignment 2

[edit]

Assignment 3

[edit]
  • WP:COPYVIO - Public domain and note proper nouns are not Copyvio


Assignment 4

[edit]
  • WP:CSD - go through the criteria
  • WP:COI / WP:PAID - Self-disclosure by COI/PAID editors is one of the many ways we find out that they are COI/PAID. The different between a COI say an COI editor write about themselves, or friends is that written prose is not that perfect as compared that to a professional writers' (PAID editor). Secondly, if the article is about a company, the prose of the article is written more like a businesslike (business writing). Thirdly, professional paid editor would provide neat citations and only take one or 2 edits to create the article. In addition, professional PAID editors would create multiple different companies article that normal COI editors would not. Do note PAID is a subset of COI and an COI would also a PAID editor such as a small business owner write about their company or a rapper write about their own article in Wikipedia


  • G11 (promo) - What constitute a G11? At times it is hard to define. Although if a article is blantantly promote or advertise about the subject then it is a G11. Sometimes, the it is a little subtle and that would be a judgement call. As a rule of thumb, if article about an entertainers (actor/singer/DJ/artist and etc) in dept of how hard they work, how motivated they are, using all the puffery/flowery languages and especially the subject does not meet notability guidelines. For a corporation, we would see they list down all they product/services, their directors/key person in the company, they mission, their client, they are the influencer in their industrial, all the words/phrased to enhance/market the company and no substantial info that is supported by independent reliable sources. If you look at the this version of Zapp Scooters which you tagged G11, I have to agree with the editor who removed the tag that it is not a G11 and unsourced info can be removed.
  • G12 (copyvio) - Copyright violation addresses the use of original expression without permission of the holder which is a violation of laws even the credit is given to the source. For articles, the Copyright Law gives the copyright protection to the “original works of authorship fixed in in a tangible medium of expression” in the newspaper, magazine and freelance article at the moment of their creation, for the life of the creator plus 70 years after, and 95 years for corporation publication or 120 years from date of creation, whichever is shorter.
  • A7, A9 and A11 - "Claimed of signification" - As long as the content states a claim of significant in regardless there is no source provided or the claim might not be true, then A7/A9/A11 does NOT apply. Example: "John Smiths is the US senator who lives in Texas" or " Let's Jump, Let's Dance is ranked #2 in Billboard chart in October 2019" or "DM7-29 is a U.S. self-propelled artillery gun developed in 2010 capable hitting the target of 500 miles" - all these 3 examples do claim of significant and some of them might not even be true and there have no source, but they do not qualify for A7/A9/A11. The option is either to PROP them or to do a WP:BEFORE or to do a R2, for potential subject, if it has no source or only primary source provided and if they fails the WP:BEFORE then AfD them. A7 would be something like "John Smiths is my high school teacher, who have a lot of knowledge of algebra" or "The Minnesota Valhalla is the heavy metal band from Minnesota. The band makes up of my brother, Alan, my little sister, Mary and two of my mates, Ken and Jesus. We practice every Monday and Friday at our home garage".


Assignment 5

[edit]
  • WP:NPPDRAFT - do so for articles have no sources or sources that are primary/not independent, such as from their home page, user generated sites or sport databases, club home page for sportspersons. If you would find 3 independent, reliable sources to support the notability of the subject, then please do so and add the source in the article and mark review.
  • PROD - (1) When it does not fall under CSD but not controversial deletion with the notion that it will be deleted if the article is AfDed. (2) We can only PROD the article once thus do check the history page to make sure the article has not been PROD before. (3) If the PROD is removed, do not replace it (4) PROD would last for 7 day start from the date of the nomination and will be either deleted or removed of the tag by an uninvolved admin who decides the outcome of the nomination.
  • BLPROD - (1) nominated if only there is no source for article about a living person. (2) BLPPROD can be removed only an reliable is added. (3) Even item 2 has been performed but editor still think it is should be deleted under PROD (1) criteria then a PROD can be tag. (3) if PROD (1) is not applicable and editor could nominate the article for AfD if the subject is not notable.
  • AfD - Nominated articles to AfD if the subject is not notable or fall under Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. A WP:BEFORE should be done prior the nominated. If the article states the nationality of the subject and a local name is provided, do search the local name in said country in Google to look for sources if any (2) Reason / justification based on notability guidelines should be address when nominate AfD or participate in a AfD. (3) Do not AfD if the sources are provided but you can locate/view them due to paywall, print book/article to determined the content claimed as per sources. (4) Request paywall article /print book from WP:RX to view the content (make sure you have you email provided in your preferences page, so the RX editors could send you the article via email). (4) You might want to reconsider to AfD an article if the sources of the article would be found mostly in other languages besides English or your languages you comprehend. For example if an article is about a Russian poet or sportman or actors / singer but the subject has not reach worldwide notability/popularity where by most source could not be found in their country reliable newspapers or books other languages but English. I dont often participate/vote for Indian actors as I dont read any Indian languages.


Assignment 6

[edit]
  • Taggaing - sue scripts/tools to tag appropiate cat/wikiproject/subsort/issues in the their respectively fields.


Assignment 7

[edit]
  • Many ways to communicate with the editors - focus on the subject not the ediots. Be civil and helpful always.

Assignment 8

[edit]
  • Tools - as per listed

Assignment 9

[edit]
  • Reviewing article - Apply what have learnt from Assignment 1-8 when reviewing article.
  • Paywall site: If the source is from a paywall site, then see help from WP:RX and you need to forward me the print article once WP:RX send it to you via email.
  • Lack of sources : If there is lack of sources, we need to do a WP:BEFORE, then we and add in the sources (at least 3 independent, reliable sources in the article) if we going to mark review.
  • Print sources: I do suggest to avoid any print sources for they are hard to located.
  • Digital sources of foreign languages: If the sources are digital and in foreign languages, then get it translated.
  • Filtering: If you are going to AfD, or PROD then you need to provide reasons of why you are doing do. I would like you to work on different outcomes (some review, some nominated AfD or PROD); however, you still need to do the rest of the requirement such as tagging cats, Wiki Project, subsort (if it is a sub class), send personal messages and etc.
  • Work on subject you are familiar with
  • For any article without source and you would like to review it and accept the article (meet notability requirements) then you need to find the independent sources (at least 3) which would support the content claimed then place inline citation.
  • If you have a hard time to find (say the sources most probably in foreign languages) and it is a potential article, then do a R2.
  • For foreign language sources, use google translate, I do that all the time.
  • If there is a native name provided in the article, and you know which country the subject is from, then google the native name with the associate country in google search such as a Russian subject then Google search on "native name.ru".
  • When reviewing, first pls check if the article fit CSD criteria (do remember to check copyvio), then if the article has no source - do a R2 (I usualy do a R2 for potential article) or tag BLPPROD if it is a BLP or search for the source (I always search for source if I know the subject is notable and add the sources it). For sourced articles, check sources against content claimed. If meet notability guidelines (at least 3 independent, reliable sources needed and check SSN guidelines), then mark review. If the article fails the notability guidelines, then do a PROD if you think if send to AfD will be a definitely delete or nominate AfD for discussion, if you think a discussion should take place.
  • Always check all the sources. Any articles that you not sure if it meets notability guidelines, then left them to other patroller.
  • When reviewing, make sure take your time - always quality over quantity.

Cassiopeia, thank you for the review, please do post the exam questions. I will take some time to go through the policies once again. If you could also give me some tips - what do you think are my weakest sides at the moment, so I could concentrate more on them. I see that the sources might be one of them, but I'd appreciate your opinion. Thank you! Less Unless (talk) 17:38, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
Less Unless, Good day. You are doing very well in this program with only one little note on "independent source vs dependent sources". See not below:
Sources could be used/demonstrated for notability are those "independent" from the subject ( another words, the sources can NOT be associated/affiliated/connected with the subject). Any sources that are dependent are sources related/associated with the subject such as press releases, webpages created by the subject of an article, self published sources, sponsored articles and videos, original research, subject official web site, marketing material associated with subject, subject's social media sites, club/statistical info/ associated with the subject, diaries/letters of the subject and etc for the reason that the info (sources) are provided/obtain from the subject/who associated with the subject as such the info can not be "independently' verify and no independent editorial work included. To say that, we can use dependent sources sparingly in Wikipedia but it can NOT be used to pass the notability guidelines requirements. Note on notability : Subject need to be notable as per Wikipedia guidelines where by the content need to be support by significant coverage of independent, reliable sources for verification where by the sources talk about the subject in length and in depth and not merely passing mentioned. Content also need to adhere to neutral point of view , free of copyright violation and WP:promotion /any form of vandalism. Lastly, please note that the program does need you to get 90% of the CSD question right. So if you are not sure of the CSD you woul like to nominate, then pls leave them and go for those you are extremely sure that you get the CSD right. Hope the above help.

Final Exam

[edit]

Part 1

[edit]

1. In your own words, why and how do communicate with the editor and why it is important to WP:AGF and not WP:BITE them?

  • Answer: Communication with all the editors – including IP users should be civil and polite – treat others as you want to be treated is a good rule of thumb. Assuming good faith is important as most of the editors come here to enhance Wikipedia and we encourage them to be bold. Being bold sometimes leads to mistakes, but most of the time it's due to the lack of knowledge about inner standards. It's important to avoid attacks as it leads to controversial situation, general unpleasant atmosphere and makes possibly good editors leave. To resolve any arising issue there is a set of instruments such as dispute resolutions, consensus, talk pages for discussion etc. Less Unless (talk) 10:33, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
checkY. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:07, 15 July 2020 (UTC)


2. What kind of sources are needed to demonstrate/contribute the notability of the subject? and hwy it is important?

  • Answer: Wikipedia as a tertiary source only compiles the information. All the content on Wikipedia needs to be verifiable so everyone could check where the information is coming from. Therefore there are some requirements to the sources. To demonstrate the notability of the subject it has to be significantly covered by independent reliable sources. Independent means not connected to the subject, reliable means the source has a history of fact checking and significant coverage means the sources talk about the subject in depth and in length, not just a trivial mention. Less Unless (talk) 18:08, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
checkY. Good. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:07, 15 July 2020 (UTC)


3.What constitutes a [WP:COPYVIO]? and why it is not a copyvio even the texts are identical the same as per sources?

  • Answer: Copyright violation means using the exact wording presented in the sources that are non fare use, not public domain or without permission or copyright holder, also close paraphrasing. For images – they should be licensed under one of the Wikimedia Foundation licenses. All copyright violations are governed by United States copyright laws, but there's a list of copyright laws by other countries that are encouraged to be taken into account.

There are several cases which allow using the exact text, namely: when it's in public domain when used as a quote with a supporting reference when permission is granted by the copyright holder under a necessary License when the text or image is under certain Creative Commons license Less Unless (talk) 21:10, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

checkY. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:07, 15 July 2020 (UTC)


4. What should we do when we encounter WP:COPYVIO article and what should we place on the COPYVIO editor's talk page?

  • Answer: If the large part of the article is copyvio we CSD (G12) it. If only a small part violates copyvio we can remove the violation indicating in the summary the source, and request REVDEL. Also it's necessary to place a tag to the article's talk page notifying we have removed the content and where it comes from.

It's also important to warn the user by placing a template on their talk page (Twinkle does it automatically). If you for some reason can't do any of the above mentioned, you can report the case to the Copyright problems noticeboard. Less Unless (talk) 21:06, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

checkY. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:07, 15 July 2020 (UTC)


5. What should we do when we encounter WP:PAID article and what should we place on the COPYVIO editor's talk page?

  • Answer: Paid editing should be disclosed. The PAID editor should place a tag on their talk page and on the article's talk page. If such an editor fails or refuses to disclose the required information (client, employer, affiliation), they are prohibited from editing.

If the PAID article is a blatant promotion, the subject is not notable etc it can be CSDed (applicable criteria). The article can also be tagged (reasonably) with coi, pnov, advert tags. Another option is moving a page to draft. When we encounter PAID article with no disclosure, it's important to place a {{subst:Uw-coi}} tag on the editors talk page and a COI tag on the article. The violation of these requirements may be reported to the ANI, the COIN or via email, but it's important not to reveal editors private information. Less Unless (talk) 21:06, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

checkY. Note: in regardless how many articles a known paid editor has created, when we encoutor a new page created by the paid editor, we should, without exception, move the page to draft space so they would be review by AfC reviewer and then by NPP reviewer prior it is published on the Wikipedia main space. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:07, 15 July 2020 (UTC)


6. When do we nominated a page for WP:G12 and when do we WP:REVDEL the COPYVIO text?

  • Answer: G12 is used when a large amount of article constitutes copyvio. This includes close paraphrasing and anything more than 4 exact consecutive words. REVDEL is used only when a small amount is copyvio and the article can be saved by removing the revision which included copyvio. We tag revdel so admin would remove the copyvio content and hide the edits in article history page. Less Unless (talk) 20:56, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
checkY good. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:07, 15 July 2020 (UTC)


7. What constitute an article is a WP:PROMO page? and what should do do when we encounter one?

  • Answer: PROMO means that the article's main purpose is to promote the subject. Such articles are usually written like an advertisement, including a lot of puffery, non-npov language. Very often the subject's of such articles fail the WP:GNG. Sometimes PROMO can be more subtle, but it still resembles in the way the article is written (too much information about the products, for example, etc.). Very often such claims are not supported by IRS.

When we encounter entirely promotional page we always CSD it per G11. If the subject is notable and the sources are reliable, the npov tag should be placed (or you can remove promotional language on your own). If the subject looks notable, but there are not enough reliable sources, the article can be moved to draft, indicating the npov issues as well.

In case the creator has COI or is PAID we should follow the above described (question 5) procedures. Less Unless (talk) 21:18, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

checkY in regardless the subject is notable or not, if the page is written like a promo then G11 it. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:07, 15 July 2020 (UTC)


8. Why do we tag a page? What are the normal tags we place in an article

  • Answer: We tag a page to indicate of certain issues that need to be addressed. For the editors tags indicate certain problems that need to be corrected and for the readers - warn them about problematic content. However if the issue can be easily corrected, it's highly encouraged to do so, rather than place a tag. The most common tags we place in an atticle are notability related – where the article needs more sources to prove the notability, content related – such as npov, promo, coi etc. style-related – such as clean up, citation formatting, structure, copy editing or maintenance related. Also we use tags to inform that an article is proposed for deletion.Less Unless (talk) 18:08, 24 May 2020 (UTC)



9. When do we WP:R2 a page?

  • Answer: We R2 articles (move them to the draftspace) to give them a chance to be better developed to comply with Wikipedia policies. The subject however, has to be of potential notability, especially this applies to unsourced WP:BLP articles. There should be no sources at all or primary/non-independent sources. Less Unless (talk) 20:38, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
checkY use R2 sparingly. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:07, 15 July 2020 (UTC)


10. When do we WP:PROD a page?

  • Answer: We PROD a page if it doesn't pass the notability guidelines (both general and specific), doesn't meet any of CSD criteria and we believe the deletion would not be controversial - noone will object. If the tag survives 7 days and a reviewing administrator agrees - it will be deleted. If someone objects to PROD it can't be used anymore. Less Unless (talk) 10:23, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
checkY. Good. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:07, 15 July 2020 (UTC)


11. When do we WP:BLPPROD a page?

  • Answer: We BLPPROD a page if it's a biography of a living person and has no sources at all. If there are links in External links section or anywhere else – we can't use BLPPROD. The tag can only be removed when at least one proper source is added. Less Unless (talk) 10:23, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
checkY. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:07, 15 July 2020 (UTC)


12. When do we WP:AfD a page?

  • Answer: We nominate a page for deletion via AfD when the subject fails Wikipedia notability guidelines - general and specific, but doesn't meet CSD, PROD or BLPBROD. Before nomination it's important to do a WP:BEFORE. Less Unless (talk) 10:23, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
checkY Good. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:07, 15 July 2020 (UTC)


13. Why it is important to WP:CSD a page when the article fit the CSD criteria?

  • Answer: Some articles are inappropriate for Wikipedia as they may violate important guidelines and policies, such as copyright, notability, npov, privacy reasons etc. CSD are strict criteria under which the articles can be deleted without discussion and consensus – speedily. So it's important to CSD such articles to avoid possible legal issues (if it's a copyvio) and to reduce the time on deletion discussions (as such articles have no chance to survive the discussion). But it's important to apply CSD properly.Less Unless (talk) 10:50, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
checkY. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:07, 15 July 2020 (UTC)


14. When do we decide to WP:R2 / WP:PROD / WP:BLPPROD a page when the article has no source in it?

  • Answer:

We use R2 if the article has potential to be developed into a proper one, especially if it's biography of living people (without any sources provided or the sources are primary). However this should be used sparingly.

We use PROD if the article doesn't qualify for CSD, but the deletion would be uncontroversial. The article can be PRODed only once, if the tag is removed it can be proposed for deletion via AfD process.

We use BLPPROD if it's an article about a living person that has absolutely no sources. The tag can only be removed when at least one proper source is added. Less Unless (talk) 21:30, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Part 8

[edit]

Pls list 10 things needs to be considered/done when reviewing a page.'

  • Answer i: The first thing is to make sure the article was created at least 15 minutes before and there's no active use at the moment – to avoid misunderstandings.
checkY. I would recommand to wait for at least an hour or two before tagging AfD as many editors still developing the article in piecemeals, especially the new editors who are still not familiar in many Wikipedia markup, or still looking for sources. Cassiopeia(talk) 09:55, 18 July 2020 (UTC)


  • Answer ii: It's very important to do an in-depth analysis to make sure your decisions as a reviewer are correct (proper CSD nominations, deletion discussions, GNG, etc). So it's sensible to check the article previous log (if it existed before and was deleted, what were the reasons. etc), the creator and their user page, also previous contributions (to make sure there's no coi).
checkY. Cassiopeia(talk) 09:55, 18 July 2020 (UTC)


  • Answer iii: Check if the article falls under any of the CSD and if so – nominate it (also Revdel in case of partial copyvio.
checkY. Cassiopeia(talk) 09:55, 18 July 2020 (UTC)


  • Answer iv: If the article doesn't fall under CSD but looks like a candidate for deletion (fails notability) – you can Merge, Redirect, PROD, BLPPROD or AfD it.
checkY. Cassiopeia(talk) 09:55, 18 July 2020 (UTC)


  • Answer v: If the article's subject looks notable but there's not enough sources or information provided, the article can be moved to draft via R2 or a simple move to be developed.
checkY. Cassiopeia(talk) 09:55, 18 July 2020 (UTC)


  • Answer vi: If the article has incorrect title it can be changed via move or requested moves.
checkY. Cassiopeia(talk) 09:55, 18 July 2020 (UTC)


  • Answer vii: If the article has some issues – lack of sources, categories, style issues, etc you can place a tag informing about them. However it's better to fix what you can rather than overtag the article.
checkY. Cassiopeia(talk) 09:55, 18 July 2020 (UTC)


  • Answer viii: It's important to add the article to the Wikiprojects it may be of interest to and if it's a stub - add a stub tag - to attract attention of the editors who may improve the article.
checkY. Cassiopeia(talk) 09:55, 18 July 2020 (UTC)


  • Answer xi: If your lack of knowledge on the subject may hinder you from performng a high-quality patrolling, it's better to skip the article.
