Speedy deletion nomination of Superbloom (disambiguation)

Resolved

Extended content

Hello Another Believer, Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username John B123 and it's nice to meet you :-) I wanted to let you know that I have tagged an article that you started, Superbloom (disambiguation) for deletion, because it is unnecessary and disambiguates only a single page. If you feel that the page shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator. For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|John B123}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks! Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer. John B123 (talk) 18:12, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Alphabetizing

Question—how are these being alphabetized? I just added Kameron alphabetized by first name as consensus seemed to be for drag queens, but I noticed that Derrick Barry, for example, seems to be alphabetized by her last name (and Marcelino Sambé, who isn't a drag queen, is alphabetized by first name). There are a few more cases like that, too. Obviously not a big thing, but just wondering. Armadillopteryx^talk 16:23, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Armadillopteryx, People add to the list differently. I try to list people by last name, with exceptions for drag queens (who are generally sorted by first name). Some people just add to the top of the list. A bit of cleanup is probably needed. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:25, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

For 2 reasons I posted on the VP directly a) other people are also using the script, and b) to keep it "non-personal", that's why did not mention you directly in the post.

• This is super weird, actually. I've never previously gotten a ping notification when a thread I was tagged in got archived (even if the archiver also had a signature in the discussion), but this week it's happened two or three times already (including just now at Talk:Christmas Queens 3/Archive 1 and four days ago at Talk:Kameron Michaels/Archive 1). Do we know if there's been a change in the way pings are coded? Previously a new signature had to be added as four tildes in order for anyone tagged in the post to be notified; in fact, Template:Ping fix explains: The notifications system only informs a user when you link their username in the same saved edit as you successfully sign your post. A ping cannot be fixed in a later edit by adding your signature or fixing a botched username. I wonder what's going on. Armadillopteryx 16:03, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Wandering Rocks

Hi Another Believer - I notice you've reversed a page move I did for Wandering Rocks (sculpture). Any reason why you think Wandering Rocks (AP) is a better name? There's nothing in the article which mentions what AP refers to, so unless people already know something about the sculpture that the article doesn't say, it's not an easy title to search for. Grutness...wha? 04:37, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Grutness, I understand, but there are multiple sculptures called "Wandering Rocks", hence why I turned the page into a disambiguation page. This source confirms Edition AP. I'm open to moving the page, if needed, but not to "Wandering Rocks (sculpture)". ---Another Believer _(Talk) 04:39, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Would Wandering Rocks (Seattle sculpture) work? Grutness...wha? 04:41, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Grutness, Maybe? I'd recommend submitting a move request so other editors can weigh in. Or, try asking at WikiProject Sculpture about possible naming conventions? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 04:42, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

AP usually means Artist's proof. That's likely the case here. There are 5 editions, 1–5 and one artist's proof. Vexations (talk) 21:33, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

People used the Reply Tool to post over 7,400 comments with the tool. The Reply tool has been available as a Beta Feature at the Arabic, Dutch, French and Hungarian Wikipedias since 31 March 2020. The first analysis showed positive results. More than 300 editors used the Reply tool at these four Wikipedias. They posted more than 7,400 replies during the study period. Of the people who posted a comment with the Reply tool, about 70% of them used the tool multiple times. About 60% of them used it on multiple days. Comments from Wikipedia editors are positive. One said, أعتقد أن الأداة تقدم فائدة ملحوظة؛ فهي تختصر الوقت لتقديم رد بدلًا من التنقل بالفأرة إلى وصلة تعديل القسم أو الصفحة، التي تكون بعيدة عن التعليق الأخير في الغالب، ويصل المساهم لصندوق التعديل بسرعة باستخدام الأداة.

Per request from editors at the Japanese and Hungarian Wikipedias, each wiki can define a preferred signature prefix in the page MediaWiki:Discussiontools-signature-prefix. For example, some languages omit spaces before signatures. Other communities want to add a dash or a non-breaking space. New requirements for user signatures The new requirements for custom user signatures began on 6 July 2020.

WikiCup 2020 September newsletter

Extended content

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items; HaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs; Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles. Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

Disloyal

Why did you move the existing stub article into draftspace so that you could restart the article? Why didn't you build on the existing article? We should WP:PRESERVE. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:21, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Muboshgu, I didn't move the stub into draft space. I simply created Disloyal: A Memoir not knowing someone else had already moved Disloyal into draft space (which I don't think was necessary). ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:22, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Ah my mistake. I thought that seemed like an odd thing for you to do. I see now who did it. Wouldn't it be better to move the draft back to preserve the article history? – Muboshgu (talk) 21:39, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Muboshgu, I don't think preserving the draft history is required in this case since the stubs were created independently, but if the author of the original stub feels inclined to request a histmerge, that's their choice. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:41, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

PRODs

Being unsourced is not, in itself, a valid reason for speedy deletion. In order to justify deletion, there has to have been "thorough attempts to find reliable sources". Merely being unsourced, even for a long time, is not evidence that "thorough attempts" have been made to find sources. - dcljr (talk) 17:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Dcljr, Ok, thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:27, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Just a suggestion

You might want to look at the school article you prodded yesterday that was deprodded for a spurious reason. A vulture kinda picked it over. AfD, anyone? John from Idegon (talk) 08:45, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

John from Idegon, Yeah, User:Dcljr seems to think my PRODs were inappropriate... I don't really think these pages are worth saving but I'll let the community sort this out. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 12:51, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

@John from Idegon: I assume you mean Children's Paradise School? Please note that the dePRODding was not spurious: the original PROD was based on an invented criterion. (In fact, dePRODs cannot be spurious, as they can be done for literally any reason.) Anyway, I have no opinions about what ultimately happens to the article, as long as it's done within our guidelines. - dcljr (talk) 22:57, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

The article was deleted. If you're some how pround of yourself for wasting a week of other people in the projects time because you don't know what notability means, you feel good about that. Bravo. You've made grand improvements. You made deleting a pile of crap involve numerous other editors and an extra weeks time. As I said, Bravo. Be proud of yourself. John from Idegon (talk) 02:34, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Wouldn't have happend if PROD hadn't been misused. - dcljr (talk) 03:28, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

PROD wasn't misused. There's a difference between WP:Proposed deletion and WP:Speedy deletion which you cited in the removal and it's quite astonishing someone who's been around as long as you doesn't know it. The Children's Paradise School indeed meets WP:DEL-REASON #6 and #7, so the PROD was very well applied, but now you're wasting people's time at AFD on non-notable articles. Reywas92^Talk 05:54, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Heh… Somehow I missed the words "do not" in the statement, "is meant for uncomplicated deletion proposals that do not meet the strict criteria for speedy deletion" at WP:PROD. My bad. I was under the impression that PROD was somehow an alternative method of getting something speedily deleted. (This was the first time the process had come to my attention, AFAIR. I was already well aware of deletion discussions and speedy deletion through {{Db}}, etc.) In any case, I did look at WP:DEL-REASON, as well, before I did anything. (In other words, just to be clear: I still would have contested the PRODs, even if I had only relied on DEL-REASON and not brought speedy deletion into this at all.) As for "#6 and #7", I direct you to the phrases "cannot possibly" and "thorough attempts" in those reasons. There was no indication in any of the PRODs that reliable sources were actually searched for and not found, or that such sources "could not possibly" exist, merely that the articles had lain there unsourced for a long time. I still say, that in itself is not a sufficient reason for deletion, unless attempts have actually been made to find RSs — in which case, just say that in the PRODs. (And, BTW, John from Idegon brought up "notability" above, which has also been cited in subsequent edits to many of the pages in question by Another Believer: "notability" wasn't mentioned in the PRODs, either. If you don't want things like this happening in the future, just properly justify the PRODs in the first place.) Literally the only reason I got involved at all was that the articles' long-term unsourced status was the only justification given; I objected to that as a justification for deletion, so I contested the PRODs, which was entirely consistent with WP:CONTESTED. If that bothers you, well, I don't know what to tell you. You will be happy to know that I had not planned on being involved in any other PROD activities well before this particular discussion was initiated. So, we need not ever encounter each other again. Bye. - dcljr (talk) 20:57, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of 1776 Commission

Resolved

Extended content

The article 1776 Commission has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: This is a non-existent entity. Yes, Trump said on September 17 that he would "soon" create a 1776 Commission. That was in a speech where he also said "If you demolish a statue without permission, you immediately get 10 years in prison."[3] Trump says many things that come to nothing. Surely it's not time for an article about "the" 1776 Commission until a 1776 Commission actually exists? While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons. You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I noticed that you have done some editing on this article and a new editor added a lot of material that they had developed in their user space.

GOCE requests

Hey, in the future, could you just give me a heads-up if you submit an article I've written alone to the GOCE? I was confused, shocked and a little upset to see that drive-through of Lady Red. As we discussed last year when Honey's article was up for GA, I copy edit professionally and have found GOCE edits to my articles to mostly introduce unambiguous errors and make otherwise neutral/subjective changes. It's a time-consuming pain to have to go through and re-correct all those "corrections" when the article was actually in better shape beforehand. Obviously no one owns any article, and anyone is free to make a GOCE request, but I would be very grateful for a courtesy ping if you make a request for an article to which I am the sole major contributor.

Hi! I am new to wikipedia and have asked advice from other users where should I start if I want to contribute by doing translations.

LoraxJr, I sometimes seek help translating English articles into other languages, but I'm not sure about Russian entries needing translation into English. Is that what you're asking? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:02, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

I could translate English articles into Russian too if that is needed. Could you notify me when something like that comes up? LoraxJr 21:11, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

LoraxJr, Well, I assume someone else mentioned this request to translate quality articles about drag queens into other languages, but my goal here was mostly to get articles promoted to Good/Featured status. More generally, I think you should just translate whatever articles interest you personally! Translation work is very important, but you should enjoy the content you're translating. :) ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:16, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
