Speedy deletion nomination of Disapppearance of Daniel Nolan

A tag has been placed on Disapppearance of Daniel Nolan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.

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 "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 deleted 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.

Oh yes, that was a mistake. I accidentally misspelled "disappearance" with three ps, but I moved the page, so I must have forgotten to delete the misspelled one. Ollieisanerd (talk) 07:46, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

ITN recognition for Wally Fawkes

On 4 March 2023, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Wally Fawkes, which you nominated and updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:44, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much, I worked very hard on expanding that article, and I'm very happy to finally see it on the Main Page. Ollieisanerd (talk) 19:50, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

ITN recognition for Nick Lloyd Webber

On 30 March 2023, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Nick Lloyd Webber, which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Stephen 01:05, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Phil Mackie moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Phil Mackie, is not suitable as written to remain published. It appears there is a WP:UPE or WP:COI conflict. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, and have addressed the UPE/COI issue, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. As per WP policy, please do not move into mainspace yourself. Onel5969 TT me 13:56, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to the third WikiProject Worcestershire newsletter

and the first one in (checks notes) THIRTEEN years! When I first joined this WikiProject back in December last year, I was slightly tempted to mark it as inactive, as activity had extremely slowed and there had been no new participants in 3 years. But I have decided to revive this project, as Worcestershire means a lot to me and I know it does for so many others. But as many participants of this project have disappeared completely off Wikipedia, this project is now in dire need of attention and it would be helpful if a group of editors could join me and continue to maintain it.
Here goes for the third EXTREMELY irregular news bulletin...

What's happened since last time

Evolution of Worcestershire county boundaries since 1844 was promoted to Good article on 3 September 2014. Largely the work of Bellow558, a Worcestershire Project member, the article was reviewed by Mike Christie.

Hanley Castle High School was was promoted to Good article on 30 August 2012. There are 78 good articles for educational institution of all kinds of which there are 4 GA for secondary schools in the UK. Hanley High School is the first state school in the UK to become GA.

Evesham was nominated on 2 December 2010 as a Good Article Candidate. The nomination unfortunately failed due to unforeseen unavailability of the editors working on the article. It only requires minor attention to be renominated.

Worcester Castle was awarded Good Article status on 27 October 2011. Largely the work of User:Hchc2009 , the article was reviewed and promoted by User:Malleus Fatuorum.

The photo by David Iliff of the medieval cloisters in Worcester Cathedral (pictured above) appeared as picture of the day on 5 October 2016.

Urse d'Abetot was awarded Featured Article status on 13 October 2009. Promoted by Karanacs, the article was 96.4% the work of Ealdgyth. It was finally featured on the main page on 14 April 2018.

The Battle of Powick Bridge was awarded Featured Article status in 2020 and appeared on the Main Page on 12 February 2023.

Happy Wikying, and thanks to everyone else who has contributed to our articles.

New project resources

Before making any major edits to articles or stubs, please be sure to read the new WP:WORCS/HowTo. Urgent tasks are now listed at: WP:WORCS/ToDo. It should be referred to often, and will be your main stop for most maintenance tasks. We recommend keeping the page on your watchlist.

Priorities are not set in stone and if you would like to discuss changes, please join in at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Worcestershire. The current priorities:

  • Population
    Now that the 2021 census details have been released, most settlement articles need updating. This website: https://www.citypopulation.de/ can be helpful, although you should note this does not collect data from hamlets or small villages.
  • Monitor
    The watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible.
  • Infoboxes
    Some of our articles need their infoboxes completing.
  • References
    Please remember that the list of stubs needing expansion is always in need of attention. Please take a look and see if you can help. One small edit, such as adding a reference section and reference, to an article each session would make a big difference. If you are uploadiing an image, be sure it has a correct FUR, and that you have preferably already created a link on the page where you want it to be.

These lists will help:

Guidelines
Missing civil parishes

There is a project creating missing civil parish articles in England at User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes. The missing parishes in Worcestershire currently are:

Evesham project

I am currently planning on reforming the Evesham article to get it up to scratch for another GA nomination. If other editors are interested in helping me then please do, especially if you live in Evesham yourself, as the main photo is from 2008 and is out-of-date as there is a new statue in front of the building.

On the newsletter

I intend to write a brand-new newsletter once every two months, though I would like other editors to help me in completing it in case of my unavailability.

Concern about an edit summary

Hi. This edit summary is a pretty egregious personal attack. Please keep focus on content, not contributor. I'm not hauling you off to the village stocks or even giving you a formal warning because I think this should be a learning experience rather than a punitive one; just please don't do that again. I know firsthand that things can get frustrating, but it's important to keep your cool. Curbon7 (talk) 20:08, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Fair enough, I did unnecessarily overreact and I apologise. Ollieisanerd (talk) 20:16, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Juniour Campbell

Hello Ollieisanerd,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Juniour Campbell for deletion, because it's a redirect that seems implausible or is an unlikely search term.

If you don't want Juniour Campbell to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

· · · Peter Southwood (talk): 05:22, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

I have contested the deletion on the talk page, as I don't think it's exactly "implausible", you can see my reasoning there. Ollieisanerd (talk) 06:35, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Evesham Abbey bell tower
Evesham GA project

Quite a bit of work has been done on the Evesham article to hopefully get it up to Good article standard since the previous Newsletter. It looks a bit better now, it just needs some citations and it should be up to scratch. I hope to have submitted it for the GA review by the next Newsletter (September). Any other editors are free to help!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Tristan Tate (August 31)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.
This submission appears to be taken from https://infowikibio.com/tristan-tate/. Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure.
You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 19:01, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
I'm genuinely confused, I had never copied anything into that draft from another website. I suspect that "infowikibio.com" is one of those WP:CIRCULAR websites that plagarises other internet biographies (note that their article on IShowSpeed just blatantly takes some entire paragraphs from his Wikipedia page). It says on that website that their Tristan Tate article was published 2 weeks ago, which was months after I had most recently edited that draft. As you can see on the "Crime" section of their Tristan article, one sentence even includes the reference number from the draft; that sentence being "On April 11, 2022, Romanian police raided the Tate brothers’ villa in Pipera, after someone alerted the US embassy that an American woman might be detained on their property.[19]".

November 2023

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Jonson a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Jonson (name). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.
