February 2014[edit]

Hello, I'm Mathonius. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Malcolm Smith (American football), because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Mathonius (talk) 03:23, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Gustavo Romero Tercero[edit]

The article Gustavo Romero Tercero has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. —Josh3580_talk/hist 01:40, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Martin Ney[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Martin Ney requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. reddogsix (talk) 03:27, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've put an English source on the Talk and interlinked to de.wp. Though since it already had an expand tag I can't see how it could have been missed. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:21, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 12[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of rampage killers (Europe), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lipnica (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Non-free rationale for File:Rory Enrique Conde.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Rory Enrique Conde.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 19:55, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

List of serial killers[edit]

Stand-alone lists are subject to Wikipedia's content policies and guidelines for articles, including verifiability and citing sources. This means statements should be sourced where they appear, they must provide inline citations if they contain any of the four kinds of material absolutely required to have citations. Will try to fond sources for new additions over the next week..if not they should be removed. -- Moxy (talk) 01:09, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Statements should be sourced where they appear - does not matter they may be sourced somewhere else they need to be sourced in the list if your making claims. We cant send readers on a wild goose chase to find sources. What if the info changes - then the list is wrong...what if the other article that may or may not have a good source changes? Need to add sources where you make statements even lists. I will help with this over the next few days using books - Lets hope others dont revert in the mean time. -- Moxy (talk) 03:41, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Think I found a nice book we can use Michael Newton (2006). The encyclopedia of serial killers. Infobase Publishing. ISBN 978-0-8160-6195-2. -- Moxy (talk) 03:55, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Alfred Gaynor[edit]

Hello. Category:American prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment is a subcategory of Category:American prisoners and detainees, and Alfred Gaynor was sentenced strictly to life imprisonment. Charles Manson, on the other hand, had a long criminal history that included time served in correctional facilities prior to becoming a serial murderer, and therefore there was a need to represent that period of his history as well. In most cases, however, we try to only include the most fine tuned category.Hoops gza (talk) 02:23, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Serial killer list[edit]

Hello, WikiOriginal-9. From looking at your edit history it has come to my attention that you are probably interested in creating many new articles on serial killers (amongst other killers). I am working on redesigning the List of serial killers in the United States. You can see my work on it thusfar here: User:Magnoliasouth/sandbox (just scroll down. Although this is actually someone else's sandbox, I could copy and paste it to my own sandbox if I so wish). Would you be interested in working on creating this list?

License tagging for File:Fhfg.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Fhfg.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

March 2014[edit]

Hello. Your recent edit to List of serial killers in the United States appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 23:42, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What's the problem?WikiOriginal-9 (talk)

There's no problem at all, I just was not sure if you were familiar with it for your own use. Sorry for the confusing wording. For instance, your inclusion of an image on Velma Barfield was reverted by an IP without an explanation given in the edit summary, so I reverted it back.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Hugh Wolfe.jpeg[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:Hugh Wolfe.jpeg, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

The image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated. (See section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)
The image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. (See section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Jack Butler (American football).jpg[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:Jack Butler (American football).jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

American MMDDYYYY date formats[edit]

Hey, WikiOriginal. Small request: can you be consistent in your use of American month-first dates in your footnotes? Mixed date formats in text, footnotes, etc., drive those of who participate in Good Article review absolutely bonkers. Also, it's generally not necessary to footnote something in the lead paragraph of an article, assuming that it the relevant fact is more fully stated and footnoted in the main body text. Thanks.

NFL free agent vs. retired?[edit]

Hey, WO, I just saw your edits to the Earl Everett article. When we're cleaning up the infobox after an end-of-career "free agency" and converting the article to the "retired" version, we delete the "currentteam" and "status" parameters from the infobox, and remove any reference to "free agent" from the lead. The "finalteam" and "finalyear" parameters should also be added. The "currentnumber" parameter becomes "number" and all jersey numbers worn may be added. Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:44, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Free agent[edit]

I understand what you are saying with the free agent thing, but if you don't include it in the infobox or intro it looks like the player is retired.--Yankees10 01:46, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, i've noticed it too. It's pretty bad. But i'd leave the guys who played last year or were just cut this year. Anytime before that I wouldn't have a problem with you changing.--Yankees10 02:07, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear WikiOriginal-9: I see that you have made an article about football player Stephen Jones.

Response to your question[edit]

At Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Stern review, you asked "Why was this account blocked?" In doing so, you have (likely inadvertently) walked into one of the stranger cases at Wikipedia. Stern review (talk · contribs) was originally blocked in December 2013 because of the spate of single-line, poorly sourced articles created by this user and all of the sockpuppet accounts xe created. Since then, every few days, a new spate of similar one-line poorly sourced articles (always about moth species) appears, and a new group of users is added to the list of sockpuppets. The articles themselves are not really the issue. The issue is the user's refusal to abide by Wikipedia policies and continued creation of new accounts to evade the original block.

DNB[edit]

I want to remind you that our rules about plagiarism say that all material quoted or copied from another source must be indicated exactly -- when you copy something from the DNB you need to indicate by quotation marks or some other means exactly what part of it is quoted--the copyright tag by itself is not suficient. --otherwise, when people make changes how will they know? (And I remind you that there is a new edition, available easily in any UK library and most large US libraries; even for older figures, there is often new information. DGG ( talk ) 05:42, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, its not the exact same and I haven't seen anyone else put quotes. I don't have a subscription for ONDB. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 15:21, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Most of what is necessary to a successful DNB conversion is covered in detail on the page Wikipedia:WikiProject Dictionary of National Biography/Walkthrough. That was put up three years ago. A more recent discussion is at User talk:Charles Matthews/Archive 39#DNB stuff.

Matthew Skinner is mentioned there by User:Moonriddengirl, who for these purposes should be treated as fairly authoritative, given her role. What comes out there is that (a) for conformity with the plagiarism guideline, inline referencing is considered sufficient; (b) it is not entirely clear it is necessary.

To sum up, not everyone likes DNB conversion, but the WikiProject guidelines seem fairly close to satisfying the policy requirements. Inline referencing is good practice anyway, and can be recommended.

I can add that I'm putting together a package of fact-checking measures, in relation to some discussions Andrew Gray and I have been having with the ODNB. Emphasis in the WikiProject is likely to turn towards more explicit logging of checking measures. Charles Matthews (talk) 15:38, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Marysville shooting[edit]

What do you think of helping me to get that article merged with Marysville, Washington?

Either that or clarify that any shooting that has more than local coverage qualifies. I think the merge is better but am willing to go for a clarification and wide acceptance of any killing, if that is the conclusion. However, a wishy washy no conclusion is bad.

Small request[edit]

I just have a small request. I don't mean for this to sound harsh, but can you please not follow my edits around? I've only noticed it the last 2 days or so and I don't mind if you look at the articles I have created or whatever (many people look at others edits), but it just gets (very) minorly annoying if the same person keeps editing an article the same day I created it.

By the way I added some guys to Wikipedia:WikiProject National Football League/Articles to create in case you are interested. Thanks--Yankees10 02:28, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And just as I posted this it looks like you saw them. Great.--Yankees10 02:29, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, it's me Cargom The Miss Universe 2015 article is blocked, so I cannot copy the information in the Miss universe 2015 article and paste it into the other article.

Article on Don Caneva - he past away 2008[edit]

Hello Friend. In re to the new Don Caneva article you noted you where thinking of deleting it because of needed references for a living person. Please note Don Caneva is past away in 2008, and there are now 4 references (some newspapers) verifying the article. Please help build the article if possible.

Jamaat-e-Islami[edit]

Request you take a look at Jamaat-e-Islami (historic) and see if you think it would be a suitable replacement for the Jamaat-e-Islami disambiguation page. --BoogaLouie (talk) 17:14, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I was going to paste it on the old ambugation page, and blank and redirect Jamaat-e-Islami (historic). How does that sound? --BoogaLouie (talk) 18:39, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Adding the see Jamaat-e-Islami (disambiguation) seems kind of redundant since there is a Groups associated with Jamaat-e-Islami section right below the lede. Do you think the lede is too long and people will not see section easily? I'd be willing to shorten it if I have time. --BoogaLouie (talk) 17:52, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Serial killers[edit]

I've added male or female depending on what the article says, for example the Grim Sleeper's sole survivor, Enietra Washington, described her attacker as male. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 02:16, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Surname pages[edit]

When you create a surname page, please remember to include the language of the surname when possible. Also, it should be formatted "Notable people with this surname include:" in order to distinguish it from a disambiguation page. Thanks. - Hoops gza (talk) 04:14, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've corrected some of your surname pages. Could you please go back and correct them? - Hoops gza (talk) 04:17, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please tell me how you know that Supernaw is English? - Hoops gza (talk) 04:28, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I use this site usually: [2]. Click on family origin. I usually google "___ name origin" to see if there are other interesting results as well. - Hoops gza (talk) 16:50, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're still forgetting to add the language to new surname pages which you create. Don't worry about your old pages, I will go back through those and add the languages to them. - Hoops gza (talk) 21:11, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I see that. Don't worry about the languages on those old ones, I will amend those pages. However, when you create new pages, please try your best to find out the language. - Hoops gza (talk) 22:34, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Where did you learn that Kosin (name) is German? - Hoops gza (talk) 22:39, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please take your time more with these things because you're making a lot of mistakes. If you read at the top of the page, it indicates that the name is of Jewish origin. Just because a surname seems to come primarily from Germany is not proof positive that the surname is of German linguistic origin. It often is German, but not in this case, this is Jewish. - Hoops gza (talk) 22:44, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'll admit that this one is hard to tell. Perhaps it would be best if we left it alone. - Hoops gza (talk) 22:49, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For your information, a page which you created, Zungu (surname) is now located at Zungu. Regards, - Hoops gza (talk) 18:51, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed that you do not create redirects to a person when there is only one person on Wikipedia with a certain surname. Why is that? You're not really obliged to do it (I think), but it is helpful. - Hoops gza (talk) 21:13, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this is precisely the case. Of course, there are occasionally cases where a person is well known by their surname, but we already have most of those cases resolved on Wikipedia. - Hoops gza (talk) 21:20, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I would redirect them if I were you. - Hoops gza (talk) 17:53, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

AFL players[edit]

Notables still must have sources[edit]

I just cleaned up a pair of entries related to Montclair High School (New Jersey) and an associated list for the community's high school, where you added a notable without a source. At the top of my watchlist are other recent edits of yours for Hackensack, New Jersey and Paramus Catholic High School adding other notables without sources. This is not acceptable from an experienced editor like you. You used a source to establish the connection and that source should be added to the article to support the connection. WP:LISTPEOPLE is clear that notables in such lists need reliable and verifiable sources supporting a connection to the place or school. Please make sure to add the sources for these latest entries and to add the sources going forward. Further such unsourced entries may be removed or treated as vandalism.

Las Vegas Outlaws[edit]

This situation is similar to the one with the Portland Thunder and the Portland Thunder (WFL).

Dealing with existing articles[edit]

It looks as if you created Todd Davis (American football) and then overwrote the existing Todd Davis (linebacker) to make it into a redirect, with the edit summary "(only one American football player with this name)".

That's not the way to go about things. When you checked Todd Davis and found that there was a hatnote to the existing article Todd Davis (linebacker) and realised that this was the same person for whom you intended to create an article, you should have edited the existing article instead of creating a new, duplicate article. You could then have Moved the article from the old title to your preferred one. As it stands, you have removed what Victorsmesq (talk · contribs) had created in the article, on 14th November.

If you had managed to create the new article alongside the old one, not noticing the old one existed, you should have used a {{merge}} template to propose merging the accidental duplicates; following the correct procedure then keeps the attribution to the existing article.

Don't just delete other editors' work like this, in future. Thanks. PamD 16:12, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions re. columns, non-US readers[edit]

I've noticed your recent edits to David City, Nebraska, inserting a local football player to the "Notable people" section and changing the reference list to two columns. A couple of suggestions—

First, the column-number parameter in the reflist template has been deprecated: rather than {{reflist|2}}, the column-width parameter {{reflist|30em}} is preferred. This allows for variable numbers of columns, depending on the width of someone's browser window. See Template:Reflist, heading "Columns", second paragraph.

Second, describing someone as an "NFL player" isn't likely to mean much to non-US readers. I'd suggest "American football player" instead. — Ammodramus (talk) 12:35, 27 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Stanley Shakespeare[edit]

I saw you created an article on him and I tweaked it a little. Florida is my home and I remember when Shakespeare played for the U of Miami.

Notice about curated page[edit]

Hi, I you notified me that you have unreviewed a page I curated. How did you get the information that I'm curating that page? Maybe you've notified the wrong person or so but I can't remember that I curated the page.

Head's up![edit]

Hey, WO-9, I wanted to give you a quick head's up: the version of Infobox NFL player that is displayed on your user page, and apparently the one you are using to replace Infobox pro football player, is not the current version. Please refer to the template page, and do include the current parameter/field names while including standard fields like "alt," etc., and using the standard parameter order.

Thanks for jumping on this. Once RW work wraps up for the holidays in couple of days, I will be happy to join you and to recruit more volunteers from the NFL and CFB WikiProjects to convert these last 550 or so uses of Infobox pro football player. Cheers and thanks for being a good WP:NFL citizen. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:20, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please note that most of these players started in the AFL (1960-70), or spent the majority of their careers in the AFL, and that their draft information is probably the AFL Draft, not the NFL Draft prior to 1968. Please be careful to update the template draft parameters to reflect the AFL Draft whenever appropriate. Like I said in the TfD, these infobox conversions do require some careful manual editing to accurately preserve the information already embedded in them. Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:59, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the tip, fortunately I already know this, the revision I left on the template merge discussion has both drafts included. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 18:05, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - What made me raise the issue was your conversion of Mike Stratton, where the AFL Draft data was converted to NFL Draft data: [4]. Personally, I had to double-check which draft was referenced against several of the online player profiles and the Wikipedia articles for the NFL and AFL drafts. Given that Infobox NFL player can already become too long when many of the optional fields are used, or when the player has multiple teams and/or a long list of honors and awards, I usually only include NFL Draft data in the infobox for guys who signed with an NFL team, and likewise only AFL Draft data for guys who signed with an AFL team. Draft data for both leagues can be included in the text, if it's important to do so for the particular player. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:52, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Infoboxes, Bill Swancutt, etc.[edit]

WO-9, thanks for being helpful to the newbie. It's not every day a British editor wanders into an NFL bio and starts making helpful edits. My take-away from the Bill Swancutt edits is the reminder that there are still 2,500 to 3,000 NFL bios that are still using Infobox gridiron football person and need to be converted to Infobox NFL player. During the infobox TfD discussion, I did a quick survey of 100 of the 7600 transclusions of the gridiron infobox: close to half of them were retired NFL players, coaches, owners and former league executives. When the TfD closes, I'd like to make whatever changes and updates are necessary for the NFL player infobox, and then recruit some WP:NFL and WP:CFB folks to help make the necessary replacements. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:23, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, there are a lot of gridiron person infoboxes used on NFL players. I don't think that discussion is ever going to close though lol. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 17:29, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If it doesn't close by early next week, I will request a close. I've already started chewing on the revised infobox for college players. Please take a look: [5]. Your feedback is requested on the sandbox talk page. Once we settle on the data fields, I will request a template editor to prepare a mock-up in user space so everyone can see it.
