Nomination of Taziki's Mediterranean Café for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Taziki's Mediterranean Café is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. DGG ( talk ) 16:41, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

A barnstar for you

Holiday barnstar
You deserve a holiday barnstar, but this snowflake was as close as I could come. And best holiday wishes to you. Thank you for making Wikipedia a better place. 7&6=thirteen () 16:49, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Question - considering Eric R. Dursteler studies the history of food, apparently with a focus on the Mediterranean, I was thinking maybe we should add some food categories to his BLP. Yes or no? Atsme📞📧 23:24, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Digital clock

Hi, NA1k - question for you...the template Digital clock and date - is there a way to change the date to UTC-6? Atsme📞📧 15:10, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

  • Hi @Atsme: You would have to first substitute the clock to a page and then change the offset parameters only after substituting. If you were to change the parameters directly on the Template:Digital clock and date edit page, then everyone would have to view the time as per your setting. See the offset section on User:Anakin101/digiclock for more information, where it states, "offset = number of hours + or - UTC (default: 0)". On the Template:Digital clock and date page, the offset is at the default 0, and it needs to stay this way on the page itself. Hope all this jargon helps out! North America1000 18:00, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
Yes, thank you. I thought that might be the solution but wasn't sure if the two were connected. Have fun, be safe, and pace yourself tomorrow night! ;-) Atsme📞📧 18:07, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
@Atsme: I will certainly pace the timing on New Years Eve to have a nice, fresh drink ready the second my vodka cran runs out, perhaps then switching to a whiskey, timed right when the stroke of midnight occurs. North America1000 18:12, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
Ah-hah!! Another Cape Codder!! YES!! Before we get into happy hour, I tried adjusting the time to Texas time (-6 UTC) per your instructions (or what I understood of your instructions) but it didn't work. :-(. What am I doing wrong? Atsme📞📧 19:22, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
@Atsme: I believe I have fixed it for you on your talk page. My first edit was to re-place the template using {{subst:Digital clock and date}} (diff). This transcludes the entire template in it's markup form on your page. Then the next edit was to adjust the offset to -6, which is what you had in place previously (diff). Let me know if this worked out to display the time you want there. North America1000 22:58, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
Perfect!! I never would have figured that out on my own. Thank you!! Atsme📞📧 23:49, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
@Atsme: Aah, it was easy; it's what I get for contributing too often. Well, you're in store for a surprise from me in the next couple of days or so, but you'll just have to wait and see (don't worry, it's something nice). North America1000 23:55, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
Ooooh...I love a surprise!. Atsme📞📧 00:10, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Update: I LOVE my digital clock & calendar!! It's one of my favorite WP Christmas presents. Thank you, NA1000!!! Be safe and have a wonderful New Year celebration!!! Atsme📞📧 23:33, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

New Years new page backlog drive

Hello Northamerica1000, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!

We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!

The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.

Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:

  • The total number of reviews completed for the month.
  • The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.

NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Junglee.com

Just letting you know, that since no-one contributed to the merger discussion relating to Junglee.com, I removed the notice as 'no consensus'. However I found sources which say Amazon closed down Junglee in November 2017 and the current URL simply redirects to Amazon India. As a result, I have set the Junglee page to redirect to Amazon's article, where I have added a section relating to Junglee under 'Subsidiaries' and noted that it now redirects to Amazon India and the subsidiary is now defunct.

Hello Northamerica1000, thank you for your efforts in reviewing new pages!
The NPP backlog at the end of the drive with the number of unreviewed articles by creation date. Red is older than 90 days, orange is between 90 and 30 days old, and green is younger than 30 days.

Backlog update:

  • We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!

New Year Backlog Drive results:

Hey can you verify that the information here is correct? I’m getting conflicting information that this is a Taiwanese company founded in 1985 [38]. I am also getting information that this is an American company founded in 1993. [39] Can you verify which is correct? Valoem talk contrib 07:25, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

  • Hi Valoem This could be a case in which the U.S. version is a subsidiary of the older Taiwan-based company, and it could also be a case of two very similar companies that manufacture and purvey very similar products that share the same name. The former is the most likely in my opinion, although I haven't been able to verify this. North America1000 12:23, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
