Disambiguation link notification for July 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Poland in the European Union, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page EC. 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.

Tonga College

Hey Nicnote. I created the stub for Tonga College because there are a number of internal Wikipedia links (I think about 6?) that now link to nothing. I don't particularly care if there is a page for Tonga College, but creating a stub seemed easier than deleting the dead links. Further, it seems that if a handful of other Wikipedia articles are attempting to link to an article, it would be worth creating that page. I am assuming there used to be an article on it that was essentially spam so I understand the grounds for speedy deletion. Anyway, just wanted to communicate and find out if you see a different way to approach this potential article. Jeremiah (talk) 17:37, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for posting a note on my talk page. I tagged it initially mainly because of the fact that a Google search result didn't initially come up with much in terms of importance, however you're right - there are a couple of links and this page should be created. http://www.tongacollege.org/history/history/ should be translated in order to increase quality, Google Translate comes up with absolute gibberish (as always) so someone who actually knows the language should do it. You don't need to be told this at all but when reviewing you generally want to see good context, verifiable information and up-to-date statistics. I mainly translate Polish to English articles on living people so I am no expert here and little help. I would contact them via e-mail directly at http://www.tongacollege.org/contact/, ask them to release their logo under Creative Commons and get them to go through the OTRS wizard, as well as asking them to send over any translations of their website that they may have, any list of notorious people that would have gone there and their up-to-date statistics. That's probably your best bet. Finally asking them to upload all the stuff to their website (even as PDFs) so that you can cite it. Good luck, it seems like you may need it.

18Birdies

Hi Nicnote,

I recently created an article for 18Birdies, adhering to the guidelines by making it non-promotional and neutral. 18Birdies has been referenced by various media outlets, which is why I considered it significant to have a page. A competitor, GolfNow (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GolfNow), has been granted a Wikipedia page, so I am trying to what the difference is.

Thanks Sbjumper21 (talk) 21:33, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

• @Sbjumper21: Hi! Thanks for contributing to the Wikipedia, it's all down to people like you to help maintain the integrity of the free encyclopedia. I would just like to state that under WP:PAID you are obligated to inform everyone if you have any WP:COI (this is something I say to everyone if the article was written in the style of an advert like this one). The reason why I tagged it for deletion after skimming through it was because it was previously deleted through Speedy Deletion (it just makes bells ring very loudly). There is a fine line to notability, and unless you have articles from the Financial Times or Forbes as a company then you will always have someone questioning the notability. GolfNow was bought out by Comcast and has been featured in Business Insider and Forbes - they have the 'notability' criteria in the bag; 18Birdies has not had near as much news to undoubtedly pass notability. I would like to highlight that I cannot see the deleted page from last time, however if it was a copy and paste to this time then I would just like to ask you to not recreate deleted pages without help/guidance from an established editor that would be able to help you. I hope this answers your question. I wrote this taking into account WP:BITE (the worst thing would be to put off someone from editing on WP for life) but also WP:WWIN (wikipedia cannot be used for un-notable articles or adverts). New articles that have little press coverage from mainstream media (Times, Time, Forbes, Huff Post, etc.) and sound like adverts unfortunately receive this sort of treatment. It is not because editors like being mean, but it's because we want to make sure that Wikipedia is as trusted and verified as possible - it's supposed to be as close to an extended print encyclopedia as possible. Thanks again. Please don't hesitate to reply below. Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 22:00, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

• Hi Nicnote, Thanks for the quick reply. My previous article on 18Birdies definitely was promotional and this version that I just posted was significantly slimmed down and I took out any positive/promotional verbiage to make it neutral, so I hope that was taken into consideration. I want to emphasize that I did not copy and paste the previously posted article. Is there a certain number of media mentions (not by the major pubs that you listed) that constitutes notability before I can resubmit the article? Or do I need to wait until 18Birdies is mentioned in Time, Forbes, Huff Post, etc before I can resubmit. There are a number of legitimate and reputable golf media who have referenced 18Birdies, so I thought that would suffice, meaning it didn't matter how big a publication is as long as it is a legitimate publication. Thanks 12.189.101.134 (talk) 22:12, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

• @Sbjumper21: Hello again! I would read Wikipedia:Notability for a definite how-to guide on notability. I would really wait for a major paper unless you want someone to potentially delete the page again. If you read the rant below and my response you may be able to see that today I do not have the best notability judgement in the world.

Hey Nicnote,

Thanks for providing further information. Within the golf industry, the biggest golf publication has under one million unique visitors a month. We've been covered and interviewed by major publications such as The Examiner (2.5 million unique visitors a month), Dujour Magazine (47K+ unique visitors a month), GolfNewsNet (55k+ unique visitors a month), ESPN Radio, CBS Radio, Golf Channel Sirius FM and Golf Channel (video). These are major hits within the golf industry, but they aren't going to be covered by the Huffington Post/Forbes. The Huffington Post also mostly covers the professional game and lacks golf technology coverage.

Lastly, I wanted to mention that a majority of the coverage that GolfNow received from major publications (Forbes/GolfWeek - no longer active/Business Insider) was about either their competition with a slight mention to GolfNow or acquisition by Comcast. They have no coverage other than that in major publications. Their Forbes piece was focused on EZLinks and had some mentions of GolfNow being a competitor.

I'm hoping to discuss this further, and I would be happy to jump on the phone and explain this further. Let me know if you need any further info.

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. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

political weight

hi the political weight issue is iikss institute product and they work on many field and index's like as political weight and governmental weight. most of work relating to this filed is persian(farsi) and they will be publish this material in english and russian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alirasoli (talk • contribs) 09:13, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

@Alirasoli: Hi, Thanks for contributing! Unfortunately it seems as if your page does not fulfil the requirements of Wikipedia:No_original_research#Reliable_sources, and unless you can cite a peer-reviewed journal rather than a university website the article may end up being taken down. Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 09:18, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

political weight- hi nicnote. does just English article and English institute works is reliable source?

hi nicnote. does just English article and English institute works is reliable source? I know that political weight index (not the term of political weight) is new term and article in English language. but does not means, it is new term in other country and language. also iikss is private ngo and worked on this field by some researcher. and we believe that political weight is a dumb word, especially in political science. then we trying to clarify this term with mathematical methods. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alirasoli (talk • contribs) 19:01, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

@Alirasoli: Thanks for contributing to the worldwide encyclopaedia. As stated on your talk page, your article does not fulfil the criteria set out in Wikipedia:No_original_research#Reliable_sources and thus is Original Research - not allowed on Wikipedia. Please also stop continuously deleting tags from the Political weight article page as this is unhelpful. Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 07:31, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion Tag

Nicnote,

re: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Collins_(d._1795)

I received a notice of copyright infringement of an article I contributed to. I immediately began the process of revising my entry, however, as soon as I'd saved my revised contribution, I was redirected to a page stating that my text would be deleted.

Is their no time at all allotted for revision before deleting an entry, or is this just a warning?

jamesdeanhunter@gmail.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesdeanhunter (talk • contribs) 19:52, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

@Jamesdeanhunter: Hi! I've removed the Speedy deletion request, but at this moment in time it needs to be extensively re-written to remove any copy-pasted material. There is a 32% copyright violation likelihood. Please make sure that you don't delete CSD (Speedy deletion) tags in the future, as this is unhelpful and generally garners negative response - it's what vandals do. Please let me know if there is any way that I can help. Thanks for contributing, we really appreciate it! Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 19:59, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Animation Fixation (US)

Hi,

I was wondering if I could get more information on why this page was a deleted and if there's anything I can change about it to have it stay up.

Thank you, Eaw2600 (talk) 19:49, 29 March 2017 (UTC)Eliza 3-29

@Eaw2600: Hi, thanks for trying to contribute to the Wikipedia. In general, for something to be notable enough it needs to pass the General Notability Guidelines - WP:GNG. This means that the website/business needs to basically be featured in a national newspaper or major national news outlet. If you can't back it up with WP:GNG, then WP:A7 applies. Because you 'coined' the topic WP:A11 also applies. The links to social media, etc. on the article also mean that it may have been Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#G11._Unambiguous_advertising_or_promotion, which is not allowed. I hope I have explained all the reasons why it was deleted. The only constructive criticism I can offer is to wait until the BBC or Forbes or something like that picks the website up, otherwise it may not be worthy of a Wiki page. Try to remember that Wikipedia is meant to be an extended version of a print encyclopaediaNicnote • ask me a question • contributions 20:07, 29 March 2017 (UTC), and thus everything on Wikipedia must be notable. Please let me know if you have any questions/queries - I will be happy to answer. Best,

@nicnote Thank you for getting back to me so quickly!

Does it change this at all that the website was produced for educational motivations? It was a project through a public university.

If not-when you say "wait until the BBC or Forbes" "picks the website up", what do you mean by this? If a reputable source writes about it or mentions it, is this what you mean?

For now I have remade it as a draft and will keep tweaking it.

Thanks again (this is my first page ive tried to make!)

Eaw2600 (talk) 20:30, 29 March 2017 (UTC)Eliza 3/29

@Eaw2600: That's quite alright. You are also correct - I apologise for my British English. Unfortunately, if it doesn't pass WP:GNG then it can't be a page on Wikipedia, and there's no way around that, not even if Harvard featured it on their own front page - it has to be covered by the media. Good luck! (I can remember my first page too and I'm pretty sure they tried to delete that one, so I know what you feel). Read Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation to see about how you could move forward. Otherwise, I'm still here. Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 20:35, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

@nicnote I have one more question-I am confused as to what qualifies as the media, because I would think a university counts as media. Does it need to a a news station specifically? What about another animation website that does have a wikipedia page (if they are an animation news website)?

I really appreciate your help.

Eaw2600 (talk) 20:59, 29 March 2017 (UTC)EAW

@Eaw2600: No problem. May I suggest taking a look at WP:NEWSORG? That should answer your question. The rest of the page is about WP:RELIABLE, i.e. Identifying reliable sources. Anything else, then pop over a note Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 21:03, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Closet Factory Speedy Deletion

I'm trying to create a page for a company that has been around for 30 years. I listed the services they provide, when they were founded, and that's it. How is that promoting? Please tell me what I can write so that I can get published. I looked at competitor's Wikipedia pages and they look similar to the one I created, only they aren't being deleted. Please help. Danmoyerjr (talk) 21:26, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

@Danmoyerjr: Hi - unfortunately, if a page cannot pass WP:GNG, and has no Wikipedia:RELIABLE sources from Wikipedia:NEWSORG then it's unlikely that a company will be awarded a page on Wikipedia. This is simply due to the fact that if it is not present in the press then it is most likely an act of promotion of an un-notable company. Remember, Wikipedia is meant to be an extended version of a print encyclopaedia, (although this may sound harsh) not the Yellow Pages. Let me know which competitors have a page and I'll be able to investigate. Please let me know if you have any questions/queries - I will be happy to answer. Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 21:36, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply, Nicole. The competitors are California Closets. I also supplied dozens of links to relevant press blogs and articles, and from reputable sources like Realtor.com and Forbes, so we're definitely present in the press. I'd be happy to internal link to other Wikipedia pages as well. Danmoyerjr (talk) 22:47, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

@Danmoyerjr: Thanks for raising this issue. The Forbes article included the company as a 'trivial' mention rather than a full article on what they do, as per WP:GNG. Wikipedia:NEWSORG lists the kind of news organisations that are deemed acceptable, but generally, industry magazines, etc., are not accepted by Wikipedia as they do not have the same stature as the BBC or Forbes. I would like to take this time to remind you to read WP:COI and suggest Wikipedia:Articles for creation going on. But before that you need to be able to support Closet Factory's claim to a Wikipedia article by complying with WP:GNG and WP:RELIABLE.

Rollback granted

Hi Nicnote. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Widr (talk) 19:29, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Interesting

--Sb008 (talk) 14:16, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
You accuse me of not being constructive. Even worse, for all to read, of vandalism. This for removing/changing notes which were added by me to start with. Yes, all changes made by IP 83.163.147.9 are changes made by me.

Did you have a look at the reference list? Do you see any reference for "k" and "l" somewhere? There is a bug in the fb module.

It is mentioned "Be polite, and welcoming to new users", "Assume good faith" and "Avoid personal attacks".

Well, let me tell you, you made me feel unwelcome, assumed bad faith and attacked me personally by accusing me of vandalism.

I wasn't constructive, but in what way was your message and attacking me in public constructive?

I was working on fixing the bug in the fb module as well as adding some extra options.

But since my efforts are not appreciated and result in insults from you, I rather spend my time and energy somewhere were people don't jump to poor conclusions right away.

So you don't need to worry any more, you seen my last contribution.

@Sb008: Well if that is the case then I fully apologise. If you look at the revision history of the page here, you can see quite clearly why I had little doubts at the time in marking your edit(s) as test/vandalism. But I must defend myself by pointing two things out - the notice on your talk page says - If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, and so you should have done accordingly by letting me know that I had made an honest mistake, which I would have reverted right away and apologised, the same way that I am doing now. The other is simply leaving an edit summary - when you remove references it tends to catch people's attention on Wikipedia. My first page was actually marked for deletion, but I took the time to re-read the rules and created the page first in the sandbox. I apologise again and hope you will re-think your decision. Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 15:02, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

@Nicnote: Where I'm from, we consider it basic manners to ask someone first, to find out if our assumptions are correct, before we start naming and shaming in public.

Apparently you feel I should be grateful that you send me a notice, in which you allow me to send you message, after you already named and shamed me. Call me stupid, but I fail to see the logic and basic civil interaction between people in there.

Furthermore, an apology followed by a "but" is no apology but mostly an attempt to wipe ones own sheet clean.

Now lets look at your arguments:

• "the notice on your talk page says - If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, and so you should have done accordingly by letting me know that I had made an honest mistake" I should have done accordingly? What about you could/should have contacted me, prior to starting the naming and shaming, to find out if your assumptions were indeed correct? Funny how you put the responsibility for your false and poor accusations on me.
• "which I would have reverted right away and apologised, the same way that I am doing now." Did you really apologize or did you just try to justify your poor actions? Did you revert anything? I see nothing reverted with an comment like "Reverted my own vandalism after accusing someone else wrongfully of vandalism"
• "The other is simply leaving an edit summary - when you remove references it tends to catch people's attention on Wikipedia." Mea culpa, you are correct there.
• "I took the time to re-read the rule" I guess you forget to read the parts about ethics, basic manners and unverified accusations.

Finally, let's have a look at your initial remark "If you look at the revision history of the page here, you can see quite clearly why I had little doubts at the time in marking your edit(s) as test/vandalism"

If I look at the revision history and what has been changed, I indeed notice changes which could be interpreted as strange at first glance. However, before starting to name and shame someone I would have taken a closer look. I would have compared how both version look displayed, if necessary studied the functionality of the module used. Most likely I would have noticed that multiple notes had been combined to a single note. In case I hadn't noticed it, I surely would not have assumed the worst and started to accuse someone of vandalism without contacting that person first.

I gave you the opportunity to explain yourself. My turn to make up the balance. I failed to add an edit summary. That by itself however is no reason to jump to the other conclusions you made. I suspect you either did not have a proper look at the effect of the changes I made, have no clue about the functionality of the "fb" module, or both. You named and shamed in public without asking me first. You pretend to make an apology but actually you try to wipe your sheet clean. You claim you would revert your mistake, but you did nothing of the kind.

As far as I'm concerned, you are the only one who committed vandalism.

Page deleted?

Hi, I'm new to this wiki business, not sure how to go about it. I made a page today that got deleted. Did I do something wrong in the creation process? Sorry if I'm breaking the rules, I'm still trying to figure out how the site works!

WadeDeadpoolWilson (talk) 21:06, 17 April 2017 (UTC)WadeDeadpoolWilson

@WadeDeadpoolWilson: Thanks for messaging me! The main problem is that it doesn't pass notability guidelines as per WP:GNG, which requires some reliable and independent sources from places like Forbes, New York Times, and so on - and they must be whole articles about just the company/website and not a brief 'passing' reference. It's not deleted yet, but you need to make sure you go through WP:AfC like you did in 2014 if the Articles for Deletion here ends up deleting the page.

Richard Blais

Hi There, I edited Richard Blais and I re-edited once you removed my edit. This time I added the source- ME. I work for their corporate office.

In fact, the Wikipedia has the REAL 2 owners listed, and Richard Blais is still there even though he is no longer a part owner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLIP_Burger_Boutique

Annndd He was NEVER the "Head Chef". They hired Head Chefs, in fact, they JUST hired another Head Chef to replace the last guy who quit without notice.

@170.250.58.91: Hello, thank you for bringing this to our attention. The reason why this cannot be included, as Ponyo stated on your talk page, is that Wikipedia cannot accept original research, i.e. where no independent published sources exist. We will try to find some information to support this, but you cannot quote yourself, unfortunately, no matter how close you are to the person in question. The reason behind this is that Wikipedia takes biographies of living persons very seriously, as to ensure no content is potentially incorrect or libellous. I hope this explains everything, but let me know if you need any further help. Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 00:50, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Notability for Steve Neill

Hi. I saw your note.

Steve Neill is the visual effects artist who made Spock's ears, as well as a host of other things in the movies (sci-fi and horror).

I am looking for notable links for your verification. He's all over the internet. You can recognize him by the picture I put up on his new wikipedia page.

Would a listing in Fangoria magazine do for notability? I hear you don't like IMDB, his website, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atavadewz (talk • contribs) 20:05, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

@Atavadewz: I really appreciate your time taken to reply. The only problem is that if he is not mentioned in the mainstream media, his article may not be retained. I would definitely add any independent sources that you can, such as magazines, etc. His own website is not a reliable source of information simply because it is not moderated and fact-checked by independent experts unlike a newspaper or TV news. I will try to add any sources that I can find. Thanks again for trying to create an article on Wiki! Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 20:11, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Nas Daily

Hello Nicnote, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Nas Daily, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: clearly claims significance, text is not unambiguously promotional. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. SoWhy 20:00, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

@SoWhy: My concern is that the editor may have a WP:COI due to their username, the sources are not reliable or independent and the article includes things such as: Includes a list of some of the top press releases, interviews, etc. about Nas and his videos? Shit that will make him look super famous. Bollywood movie. Commercial for Fuze D. People whose videos he collaborates on or shows up in??? Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 20:02, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

I understand but having a COI is not a valid speedy deletion reason. I can remove that text you mention and we would still have a stub for an article about a subject that is probably notable (cf. GNews). In such cases, neither G11 nor A7 applies. Regards SoWhy 20:07, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your time! Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 20:12, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer granted

Hello Nicnote. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

• URGENT: Please consider helping get the huge backlog (around 18,000 pages) down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
• Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
• Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
• Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 22:54, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Trout removed, adding tags that were removed is not a silly mistake.
