Your GA nomination of The Warriors (film)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article The Warriors (film) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Happypillsjr -- Happypillsjr (talk) 00:20, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Per the comments of administrator Cyphoidbomb above, and your failure once again to follow GA instructions by opening a review on your own nomination, I am removing this nomination from the article, and once again arranging to delete the improper review page.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for persistent disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:51, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

I previously instructed you to stop nominating articles for GA or FA, since you were not demonstrating appropriate comprehension of our nomination protocols. You are needlessly creating more work for editors by disregarding these protocols, and this is disruptive. So, one last time, please stop nominating articles for GA or FA evaluation, and please do not start the reviewing process yourself. If you do this again, I will block your account indefinitely to protect the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:56, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:00, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Interview invitation from a Wikipedia researcher in the University of Minnesota

I am Weiwen Leung, a student at the University of Minnesota. I am currently conducting a study on how people on the LGBT+ Wikipedians group use and contribute to Wikipedia.

Would you be willing to answer a short 5 minute survey? If so, please email me at leung085@umn.edu. It would be helpful if you could include your Wikipedia username when emailing.

Thank you, Weiwen — Preceding unsigned comment added by Weiwensg (talk • contribs) 03:25, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Naughty Alysha

The article Naughty Alysha has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

BLP for a porn performer with no real sources and no objective claim of notability per WP:PORNBIO or WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. • Gene93k (talk) 01:45, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

May 2017

Hello, I'm SummerPhDv2.0. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on K. Michelle, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! SummerPhD^v2.0 03:52, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Happypills: regarding the above, categories should not be added unless there is sufficient context in the article to warrant the inclusion. If there's no mention of the subject's sexuality in the article (along with proper sourcing to support such claims) then we do not add categories about that. Per WP:CAT, "Categorization of articles must be verifiable. It should be clear from verifiable information in the article why it was placed in each of its categories." So sourced content goes first, then categories. Not vice-versa. Also as a general note, if a subject's sexuality is not a defining characteristic of why we know them, for instance, if the person doesn't speak much about their personal lives (Richard Simmons comes to mind,) consider omitting such content. We're not here just to label people as part of the LGBT club, and by doing so you may actually be confirming a social bias that being gay is something "different" to draw attention to, as opposed to just being another flavor of normal.

Concern and Advice

Hello Happy,

I just finished reviewing all of your GANs and see a common trend. You are not at all editing the page when it is recommended, you cause common errors, and nominate articles far from GA potential. I am asking you not to nominate articles for GA unless they have more experience. You need to improve the article and look at the GA criteria before you consider GA. I am not trying to put you down but I suggest not nominating a GA until you do a complete review of the article. Be patient, if you do this you will get a pass. Also please get permission from the main editors of the page before you nominate it. Epicgenius for example has done most of the work on BMT Canarsie line. Thank you, keep on editing. AmericanAir88 (talk) 20:40, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Empty "History" sections

Hi Happypills, please try not to make sections consisting only of {{refimprove}} tags, like in this edit or this edit. These are not helpful for the reader. There is a separate template, {{empty section}}, but in general, empty sections are better off being removed from the article. Thanks. epicgenius (talk) 02:02, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

East Harlem

Hi. I have reverted an edit of yours, the addition of "Funky Frank"Lynn to the "Notable persons" section of this article, because it is unsourced.

I would would also like to remind you about WP:BRD. When your Bold edit has been Reverted by another editor, the recommended next step, if you continue to think the edit is necessary, is to Discuss the dispute on the article talk page with other editors, but not to re-revert it, which is the first step to edit warring, a disruptive activity which is not allowed. Discussion on the talk page is the only way we have of reaching consensus, which is central to resolving editing disputes in an amicable and collegial manner, which is why communicating your concerns to your fellow editors is essential. While the discussion is going on, the article generally should remain in the status quo ante until the consensus as to what to do is reached.

To help move things along, I have started a discussion on the article talk page about the disputed edit, which you will find here. Please take the opportunity to make your views known there. It is best not to restore the material you added until there is a consensus among the editors there to do so. Thanks, Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:52, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Williamsburg, Brooklyn

The article Williamsburg, Brooklyn you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Williamsburg, Brooklyn for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of 2604:2000:800B:2A00:8142:D07C:1612:BAD3 -- 2604:2000:800B:2A00:8142:D07C:1612:BAD3 (talk) 13:42, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Please stop making GA nominations

Happypillsjr, back in 2016 you were blocked from editing temporarily for making inappropriate GA and FA nominations. It was clear at that time that you didn't understand either process, and for GAs in particular, you were nominating articles that clearly did not meet the GA criteria.

You have recently begun nominating articles again for GA, and once again each of these articles is clearly not ready to be a GA. You are also nominating articles that you have done no work on, and anyone nominating an article they haven't been active in editing is supposed to consult with the significant editors and get their responses as to whether the article is ready prior to making any nomination. (Consultation should run at least seven days.)

I have just reverted your nomination of iPhone 7; BMT Canarsie Line was rapidly failed due to significant issues, and your nominations of Queensboro Plaza (New York City Subway), Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and M (New York City Subway service) were all deleted due to major deficiencies in each article.

Please cease your GA nominations. It may be too late to avoid a new block, but if you make any further nominations, such a block is pretty much assured. There are many other ways you can contribute to Wikipedia outside of the Good Article space; I hope you find them. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:56, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for responding on my talk page. Your question, How and what can I do to my GA and FA nominations successful and approved? Any instructions?, doesn't have the answer that I think you're hoping for.

The problem is that you very clearly do not understand the GA criteria: how to judge whether the article has clear and concise prose, meets the various manual of style requirements, is verifiable and well-sourced, complete, etc. Your post on my page, including the question above, has significant grammatical problems, which leads me to believe that you wouldn't be able to tell if an article you were thinking about nominating was well-enough written. The articles you nominated were lacking in sourcing—and even had templates and other tags indicating that there were problems—which are clear indications that the articles are not of the quality necessary to be Good Articles. Templates and sourcing issues should always be addressed before any nomination is made.

I regret that I don't think you have sufficient experience and understanding to select articles that will be successful at GA. So you shouldn't even try at the present time. And since FA requires the person to have been a major contributor to the article and for the prose to be at a professional level, you don't qualify at all there; FA is a great deal more difficult to succeed at than GA.

The problem is that when you nominate articles for GA or FA that are not of adequate quality, it wastes the time of the reviewers at a time when we have an enormous backlog. No one wants to spend a couple of hours on an article only to discover that it clearly isn't even close to a GA level. It's not fair to them or to the other people who have nominated articles that are of sufficient quality to become Good Articles with only a modest amount of work.

Try working on improving articles or creating your own. Gain experience in doing that kind of thing. But don't do any further nominations for the foreseeable future, at least a year, and request a mentor at WT:GAN before attempting any nominations then (and then only of articles that you have done significant work on). And be sure to be more responsive to posts here in future (it's probably best to respond here rather than on other people's talk pages); based on what I've read below, it looks like you're in danger of being blocked.

Your sandbox

Happy,

Why is my user page in your sandbox? I am concerned. AmericanAir88 (talk) 16:32, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Infoboxes

Please do not add multiple blank lines after infoboxes when you insert them into articles. There should be one single blank like to assist in editing, and which will not appear when the page is rendered. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:22, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Also, please provide an edit summary that says succinctly what you did in the edit, such as "Added infobox". Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:26, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

You cannot keep adding infoboxes to articles while ignoring the great effect such an addition has on the layout of the images on the page. You also cannot continue to edit without responding to the complaints made here on your talk page - WP:Communication is required (see below).

Because of these two issues, I'm reverting any addition of an infobox you've made since the first complaint was posted here, and I will continue to do so until you respond here. If you do not respond, I will be forced to take the issue to the Administrators' noticeboard for the attention of the community.

Please discuss your edits. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:20, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

WP:Communication is required

Please read the above Wikipedia policy, and acknowledge that you have read and understood the comments, advice, and criticism you have received on this paqe. Failure to respond to talk page comments has been known to lead to being blocked from editing, so it's probably best that you respond, and not simply ignore the comments posted here.

Category:Nelly

Hello, Happypillsjr,

I noticed you created this new category and it has no parent categories assigned to it. It's important on Wikipedia that every category relates to the category system so they don't exist in isolation. Maybe you can look at other male singers or artists and see what parent categories are appropriate to it. There might be a WikiProject in Music that could help you identify good parent categories for musicians. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:20, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Tina Turner, Suzi Quatro, Category:Women in rock music

I saw your addition of the non-existent Category:Women in rock music to Tina Turner, Suzi Quatro, and Women in rock. Tina already has Category:American female rock singers, which is more specific, as well as Category:American rock singers, which says it should be removed from that "completely diffused" cat per WP:DIFFUSE. Suzi is, similarly, in multiple more specific categories. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 22:05, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

You got mentioned...

Since you were mentioned in the latest portals newsletter, I've posted it below for you to see...

Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals update #025, 30 Dec 2018

We can now crop the tops of pics to make banners

Before, we could only cut off the bottom of pics.

User:FR30799386 has pulled it off, and made the upgrade to {{Portal image banner}}...

So, this:

Niagara falls, from the Canadian side

Becomes this:

Niagara falls, from the Canadian side

Here's the code for the above banner:

{{Portal image banner|File:American Falls from Canadian side in winter.jpg | [[Niagara falls]], from the Canadian side |maxheight=175px |overflow=Hidden|croptop=10}}

To see it employed in a portal, check out Portal:Niagara Falls.

About that end of the year goal...

We were racing against time to create 5,000 portals by the end of the year (just for the heck of it).

We made it. We've passed the 5,000 portals mark, with time to spare!

And the 5,000th portal is Portal:Major League Baseball, by Happypillsjr.

Congratulations!

What's next?

The 10,000th portal mark. But...

...there is plenty else to do in addition to building new portals:

1. The new portals need to be linked to from the encyclopedia.
2. On those portals about subjects that are not typically capitalized, the search parameters need to be refined/expanded, to maximize the chances of Did you know and In the news items being found and displayed.
3. A Recognized content section needs to be added to each portal that has a corresponding WikiProject.
4. Addition of a category on those portals that lack a subject category.
5. Implement the portal category system, adding the appropriate categories to each portal.
6. Upgrade, and complete (as per the tasks enumerated above), the old-style portals that are not regularly maintained, which have not been converted yet (about 1,100 of them).
7. Find and fix the remaining bugs in the underlying lua modules.
8. Build portal tools (scripts) to assist in the creation, development, and maintenance of portals.
9. Build a script to help build navbox footer templates, via the harvesting of categories, amongst other methods.
10. Update the portal building instructions.
11. Update the portal guideline.
12. Refine the programming of the portals to reduce their load time.
13. Design and develop the next generation of portals and portal components.

And whatever else you can dream up.

But most of all, have a...

Happy New Year!
