==Similar problem==

Hi, Galobbter. I appreciated your help with the problem related to [[Italians in Albania]]. Unfortunately I am facing something similar problem of possible "abuse" with another article: [[Lavori Pubblici (1947-1990)]]. Can you help me with your precious advice? If you agree that cannot exist this article together with the one called [[Jeenyo United FC]], I will accept what seems a "provocation" by [[User:Number 57]], who first agrees in accepting the article, writing to me: "Number 57 moved page Lavori Publici (1947-1990) to Lavori Publici over redirect" (and that I have accepted with a friendly OK) and one hour later erased it all. Regards, --[[User:Esauster|Esauster]] ([[User talk:Esauster|talk]]) 19:56, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
:If you could get Esauster to understand the basics of [[WP:BRD]] and [[WP:RM]], that would be much appreciated.

:::Sincerely I did not understand the "message" from this admin: to me it remembers a bit the word "ABUSE" with newcomers by a kind of boss....but anyway, thanks for your previous help.--[[User:Esauster|Esauster]] ([[User talk:Esauster|talk]]) 20:15, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
PS: A confirmation of his possible abuse can be seen in the fact that has merged the example I gave him ([[Deportivo Petare]] and [[Deportivo Italia (1948-2010)]]), but I have found in Wikipedia that there are many many many historical football teams that are NOT merged in the encyclopedia, like [[U.S. Internazionale Napoli]] -for example- and [[Napoli FC]]!....unbelievable, but true.--[[User:Esauster|Esauster]] ([[User talk:Esauster|talk]]) 20:43, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
:{{u|Esauster}}, {{u|Number 57}} has given what seems to me a perfectly reasonable explanation at [[User talk:Esauster#Lavori_Publici/Jeenyo_United]] of why that is the case. I don't see any "abuse" but rather someone explaining that you shouldn't repeatedly revert other users per [[WP:EW|this policy]]; doing so hinders collaboration; what you instead should do is discuss on the talk page. I understand you're upset at the article being "erased" but what you can do instead is to [[WP:MERGE|merge]] the content of [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Lavori_Publici&oldid=864966856 the page] into [[Jeenyo United FC]]. [[User:Galobtter|Galobtter]] ([[User talk:Galobtter|pingó mió]]) 05:23, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

::Ok. I trust you. But I want to pinpoint that this admin has written in my talk page this "(my question: So, why exists the [[U.S. Internazionale Napoli]] and the [[Napoli FC]], to name only one example of the many articles (about historical football teams NOT merged into actual football teams) that I have found in en.Wikipedia?--[[User:Esauster|Esauster]] ([[User talk:Esauster#top|talk]]) 20:50, 20 October 2018 (UTC))….Admin answer: Because that was a merger between two clubs to create a new one, not a single club being renamed. In those cases separate articles are justified. [[User:Number 57|<span style="color: orange;">Number</span>]] [[User talk:Number 57|<span style="color: green;">5</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Number 57|<span style="color: blue;">7</span>]] 21:32, 20 October 2018 (UTC)". So, '''if two clubs merge, separate articles are justified'''.....and in the case of Lavori Publici this is exactly what happened! After 22 years was created the team [[Jeenyo United FC]] with the union  (as the word "united" clearly indicated) of the "Lavori Publici" closed in 1990 and the team (that had played in second division) "Geeska Afrika" (read data on this team here: http://www.rsssf.com/tabless/soma2-05.html). So, '''why Napoli FC & US Internazionale Napoli yes and Jeenyo & Lavori Publici no?'''...cheers, --[[User:Esauster|Esauster]] ([[User talk:Esauster|talk]]) 14:51, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
:::This is quite simple:
:::#If two clubs merge into one, there are three separate clubs – the two original clubs and the new club (for example [[Newcastle East End F.C.]] and [[Newcastle West End F.C.]] merged to form [[Newcastle United F.C.]].
:::#If a club is renamed, it is not a separate club, so there is no justification for a separate article; hence why [[Ardwick A.F.C.]] is a redirect to [[Manchester City F.C.]]
:::In the case of Lavori Publici/Jeenyo United, the club was just re-established under a different name ([https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/17370490 source]). There was no merger with Geeksa Afrika, who have continued to exist separately to Jeenyo United (see [http://www.rsssf.com/tabless/soma2013.html here]), so I don't know why you've mentioned them.

Well, I see this admin "rules" everything...also the talk pages of others.....anyway I want to pinpoint that when LLPP was recreated, after 22 years of being OFFICIALLY closed, it was united (as the name UNITED indicated) by somalian managers with Geeksa that was in a third level, but soon they had problems (in actual Somalia all seems to be a "fighting") and the Geeksa team was returned to the lower level with his management. But the recreation was OFFICIALLY done between LLPP and Geeksa. Of course, all these changes can happen only in a country like it is now Somalia.... --[[User:Esauster|Esauster]] ([[User talk:Esauster|talk]]) 15:36, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
:Furthermore, I have to add that not all the information I get about LLPP is from the internet (like happens with most of people and also with you, I surmise), but also from a friend who is from Somalia. He is now searching about why there it is the word UNITED in the new name of the actual football team. He thinks that there are more than two former teams that have been united in order to create the actual "Jeenyo United FC". He is well informed: for example, he told me that the word Jeenyo is the translation of the Italian word Genio (and later I have found on the internet that he is right). So I think there it is a high probability that there were at least 3 old football teams "united". --[[User:Esauster|Esauster]] ([[User talk:Esauster|talk]]) 18:19, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
::{{u|Esauster}}, a note that [[WP:OR|original research]] is not allowed. Any information you put in an Wikipedia article should be [[WP:V|sourced]] (the source can be in Somali or be offline, but has to be [[WP:RS|reliable]]). Presenting some sources that describe exactly happened between the clubs would be good. [[User:Galobtter|Galobtter]] ([[User talk:Galobtter|pingó mió]]) 18:28, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
:::Yes, I know the rule about original research....it is going to be difficult in the case of Somalia (with all the related problems about "reliable", as we all know in such a devastated country), and my somalian friend has been informed about this rule.....at least I can say that I am doing all I can do to "save" from merger the LLPP article.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages! 

;Backlog
{{As of|21 October 2018}}, there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days. 

;Community Wishlist Proposal
* There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding the [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#Community_Wishlist_Proposal|drafting of a Community Wishlist Proposal]] for the purpose of requesting bug fixes and missing/useful features to be added to the New Page Feed and Curation Toolbar. 
* Please '''[[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#Community_Wishlist_Proposal|join the conversation]]''' as we only have until 29 October to draft this proposal!

;Project updates
* [[mw:ORES|ORES predictions]] are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
* There are now tools [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#New_bot_trial_for_copyvios|being tested]] to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.

;New scripts
* [[User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js]]<sup>([[User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel|info]])</sup> — A new script created for quickly placing {{tl|copyvio-revdel}} on a page.

== On editing and adding ==

Dear friend, I hope that this is the proper way to communicate. Yes, it was my first addition to the English version of Wikipedia (but I have made more in the Greek version). Still, I am a novice in terms of adding stuff, but I long-time user and very much a supporter of what Wikipedia stands for. I had no problem with the initial rejection of my edit. I understand the reason. As a professional in communications, I consider posts on social media an on-the-record position, worth tracking. But I am not going to argue in my first post on the merits of a long-standing policy. I appreciate the hard work of the editors and the enormous responsibility. Needless to say that I appreciate the fact that ultimately my edit was accepted. I appreciate it very much taking time to deal with all this, which shows care and professionalism. Which, I guess, is a long-winded way to say thank you for all you are doing to keep Wikipedia relevant and a reliable and unbiased source of information. Thanks again. (PS> I really hope this is a message that is read by the person who edited my piece :-) )  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:StratosAthens|StratosAthens]] ([[User talk:StratosAthens#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/StratosAthens|contribs]]) </small>

== A heads-up ==

I checked, [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Galobtter&dir=prev&limit=20&target=Galobtter you joined the project in 2013].  So you joined when the footnote reference style had firmly been in place as the predominant reference style for over half a decade.

I started contributing here in 2004, when there were no reference sections.

I made thousands of edits in 2005 and early 2006, where I used the [[WP:Footnote3]] reference style.  And I converted articles from that style to the footnote style.   I know these two reference styles absolutely cannot be mixed.  I know this conversion is best done by someone with some familiarity with both styles.

I assure you, it is highly annoying to have people mistakenly apply the very wise warnings about recklessly mixing completely incompatible styles talo the use of the two completely compatible methods of using the footnote reference style.

Thanks for drawing my attention to [[Help_talk:List-defined_references]].  WRT to the order of precedence of wikidocuments, do guidelines take precedence over howtos?  Policies and guidelines certainly take precedence over essays and user essays.  [[WP:CITEVAR]] is a guideline.  [[Help:List-defined references]] is a howto.

I strongly suspect that the passage you cited at [[Help:List-defined references]] was submitted by someone who, like you, has no experience converting an article from one style of references to another.  I [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Help_talk:List-defined_references&diff=prev&oldid=866440314#Misleading_references_to_CITEVAR left a comment] at [[Help talk:List-defined references#Misleading references to CITEVAR]].  [[User:Geo Swan|Geo Swan]] ([[User talk:Geo Swan|talk]]) 11:00, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
:{{u|Geo Swan}}, Whatever the history, currently list defined references are considered different from other styles - different enough for [[WP:CITEVAR]] to apply (using [[Help:CS1|CS1]] references and non-CS1 references are also technically compatible but still mixing different styles per CITEVAR - "removing citation templates from an article that uses them consistently") . I suppose a discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:Citing sources]] could clarify this if this is considered unclear though I note that so far everyone other than you seems to agree that list defined references are a different style from what is used in the article, and as I said CITEVAR says specifically to not switch from using references defined in prose and in reflist ("moving reference definitions in the reflist to the prose, or moving reference definitions from the prose into the reflist"). [[User:Galobtter|Galobtter]] ([[User talk:Galobtter|pingó mió]]) 11:09, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
:* Shouldn't the term '''"style"''' be reserved for distinguishing between the genuinely incompatible reference styles, and not applied to alternate '''methods''' of using a single style?  
:* You wrote ''"CITEVAR says specifically to '''''not switch from using''''' references defined in prose and in reflist."'' then you quote what CITEVAR actually says to avoid: ''"'''''moving''''' reference definitions in the reflist to the prose, or moving reference definitions from the prose into the reflist"''.  <p>So, CITEVAR says to avoid doing what you did.  You '''moved''' references.  Is '''adding brand new list-defined references''' "switching".  I suggest adding brand new list-defined references is absolutely not barred by CITEVAR, when the other wikidocument says ''"some or all"'' of an article's references can be list-defined references.
:* Clarification please, did you mean to suggest I had lapsed by ''"removing citation templates from an article that uses them consistently"''.  If so I dispute this assertion I removed any references.  
:* WRT everyone else seems to agree...  And, sorry, I continue to have doubts over how everyone seems to confuse references '''''styles''''' that can't be mixed, with the two compatible and compliant places a contributor can place their brand new references.

== Goodread templates. ==

Hello: I must disagree with your decision on the Goodreads templates. First, proper procedure was not followed because notice of the deletion discussion was not posted on the template talk pages. Next, the number of editors commenting did not constitute a quorum (IPs carry less weight than experienced, longtime editors). Third, the points I raised re rationales for deletion were not addressed (e.g., the 4 criteria and recommended solutions for improper use of the templates), Finally, the “spammy” argument for deletion is unsound — we have “spammy” linking templates for many user-accessible web-pages such as IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, ESPN, Turner Classic Movies, and more — each of these is connected/owned by for-profit companies.  (When there is a problem it is with the ‘’use’’ of the template, not the template itself. I urge you to go back and re-close the discussion as a “no-consenses”, which is your privilege to do so. Thank you.  – [[User:Srich32977|S. Rich]] ([[User talk:Srich32977|talk]]) 08:15, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
:{{tq|First, proper procedure was not followed because notice of the deletion discussion was not posted on the template talk pages.}} There was a notice on the template page; that is all is required (and the notice also displays on the hundreds of pages where the template is transcluded on).
:{{tq|Next, the number of editors commenting did not constitute a quorum (IPs carry less weight than experienced, longtime editors).}} IPs are [[WP:HUMAN|human]], and their !votes carry the same weight as a experienced user with an account unless there is evidence of block evasion/socking. And apart from the IP there were ~6-7 editors either with an explicit bold "delete" !vote or arguing that the links have no value; well enough participation for a quorum.
:{{tq|Third, the points I raised re rationales for deletion were not addressed (e.g., the 4 criteria and recommended solutions for improper use of the templates)}} The editors argued that every use, or nearly every use, violated a guideline - [[WP:EL]].
:Regarding your last point, I note that people's arguments were more than that it was for-profit; they argued that the links had no value; you made your argument at the Tfd and almost everyone else at that Tfd disagreed.
:I could be convinced to relist, but considering that there was already a previous discussion at [[WP:ELN]] where I read the consensus as against inclusion, further discussion seems unlikely to change the outcome unless you can bring up a new point.

*'''Community Wishlist''' Voting takes place '''16 to 30 November'''  for the [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Admins and patrollers/Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements|'''Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements''']], and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is '''very important''' as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.

:If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.

Hey Galobtter, why did you delete the page ?
What is advertising or promotional meaning when i simply transform a companies page from one language to another ?
Looks like many companies have a profile about their history, products and achievments. 
Happy to read your professional proposal.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Rosenstock2612|Rosenstock2612]] ([[User talk:Rosenstock2612#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Rosenstock2612|contribs]]) 16:31, 22 November 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:First of all, I didn't delete the page; an admin reviewed my nomination of the page for deletion and deleted it. Anyways, I don't remember what the text of the page was; but that it was translated from another language does not mean that original version or the translation isn't promotional or promoting the company.

::{{tps}} It was an article about a furniture company started by a professional footballer. I've recreated [[DEDON]] as a redirect to [[Robert Dekeyser]]; I think that article covers the company adequately and has numerous citations backing the facts up.

Hi - thanks for your review of a page I created.  I'm assuming I did something incorrectly...the page is gone and it redirects back to the band page.  Can you help me understand? I'm a novice at this, just trying to help with an occasional contribution.  Thanks Galobtter.  [[User:Nihil7|Nihil7]] ([[User talk:Nihil7|talk]]) 23:17, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
:{{u|Nihil7}}, Hello. You haven't done anything incorrectly; however we have standards of [[WP:GNG|notability]] for the creation of a standalone article, and the album appears to clearly fail that, and so I [[Help:Redirect|redirected]] the article to the article on the band. See also [[WP:42|this quick run down]] of what a separate article requires: "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"; and the guideline [[WP:NALBUM|notability for albums]]. Maybe see if you can find some good [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] on [[Madder Mortem]] and expand the article on the band?

== Just checking ==
Hello G. I hope you are well. I wanted to check about the [[:Template:Infobox Olympic Sailing]] that you added to the [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Holding cell#To orphan]]. Although the outcome is delete I think it needs to be either substitute or merge. The discussion mentions that it is redundant to [[:Template:Infobox Olympic event]]. So when you get to an article where the IOS is used like [[Sailing at the 1984 Summer Olympics]] if you remove it there won't be an infobox in the article at all. As I look at it there are some fiddly bits that need to be done to make sure all the info from IOS transfers over to the IOe but I'm not sure what all needs to be done as the sandman is calling and I'm about to head to saw some logs - is that enough sleep metaphors for you :-) If I am missing something my apologies.

The admin that declined my article stated on my talk page saying I am a b**** by creating this article and having no help and useless towards wikipedia. I was very hurt and as an admin on Wikipedia that was not the attitude i was hoping. I have seen that you are great at your job so thats why I came seeking help from you. Could you please personally review my article as you are a great administrator to trust and i supose the best yet. My sources come from books, magazines, newspaper articles and booklets. Please do consider it so that I can continue my passion on contributing on Wiki. Thank you so much Galobtter.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Theamazinnghelloworld|Theamazinnghelloworld]] ([[User talk:Theamazinnghelloworld#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Theamazinnghelloworld|contribs]]) 09:10, 10 December 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Hello Galobtter. I am sory but I think you were mistaken as I am not being paid to edit nor create this article but to be honest i spent 3 moths researching on this and recently got my Wiki account to have this article created. Please do advice is my reference not enough because i think it is good enough because I have books, magazines and newspaper articles to refer back as source. Please do consider my article and i will update and put in more sources if requested but my prayer is for it to be created and accepted to be an article. I dont want my work to go to waste because of that admin. So i want your help and please do help me Sir Galobtter.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Theamazinnghelloworld|Theamazinnghelloworld]] ([[User talk:Theamazinnghelloworld#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Theamazinnghelloworld|contribs]]) 09:37, 10 December 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:{{u|Theamazinnghelloworld}}, Stop lying about other people - nobody called you a f**ker - if you recreate the article and it is not substantially less promotional it will just get deleted again and you'd likely be blocked for continued promotional editing.

I am sorry Galobtter, thank you for reviewing Nas Daily Corporation page. That was not the page where the incident happenened. It happened on my first article John Kavinraj Philip. He is a great person and i researched him for 3 months and I was quite mad when the=at admin said that to me. Then later a guy named Deb deleted the draft so I dont have the history record. Thank yu for at least answering me and I am trully thankfull. Due to no admins answer me but your really and awsome Wikipedia. Is it ok if I recreate my old article that got deleted and you review it and give me your advice? I am willing for any type of advice from you as an admin.

:{{u|Theamazinnghelloworld}}This accusation '''didn't happen''' either, and I have '''checked every single edit''' related to the deleted article of John Kavinraj Philip. You've been asked to stop lying, and immediately return to doing so. How about taking some time off from article creation and read up on some of the information available on [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] and also [[WP:PROMO|promotional editing]]. If you continue disrupting Wikipedia by accusing others of wrong when they're not doing anything even close to resembling what you are saying you'll be blocked from editing to avoid wasting the time of administrators with false accusations. -- [[User:Longhair|Longhair]]\<sup>[[User_talk:Longhair|talk]]</sup> 10:34, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

== Category creation protection ==

Hey, now that you are an admin (congrats on that!) you might be able to help me.
I am doing maintenance on Arrowverse characters and while trying to create [[:Category:Arrowverse characters]], I've noticed that it is protected. Looking at the deletion discussion linked there, it seems that either the rational was flawed at the time, or that the situation has changed which would now allow the category to be created.

As recent RM discussions have concluded, all character articles in the "Arrowverse" franchise which need disambiguation should be disambiguated with "(Arrowverse)" - [[Oliver Queen (Arrowverse)]], [[John Diggle (Arrowverse)]], [[Joe West (Arrowverse)]] and [[Barry Allen (Arrowverse)]], and I've recently created the corresponding redirect category [[:Category:Arrowverse character redirects to lists]]. Also, looking at one of the rationals given in the category delete discussion about how the MCU does not have such a category - this too was created [[:Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe specific characters]].

...so I'll try to be gentle, but this AfD close [https://en.wikipedia.org/?diff=873021516] is completely off the mark. You said, "article meets WP:GNG based on the provided sources and so merits a stand-alone article", but that logic doesn't track. ''Usually'' at AfD the question is notability, but not this one. The question here is [[WP:NOPAGE]] which deals with the question of whether a subject, assumed to be notable, should nonetheless be covered jointly with other subjects on a shared page. The arguments presented ''on that question, not on notability'', are what you should be evaluating. [[User:EEng#s|<b style="color: red;">E</b>]][[User talk:EEng#s|<b style="color: blue;">Eng</b>]] 21:48, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
:Those arguing for keep argued there was enough information for a separate article and for the "presumption" of suitability for a stand-alone article that [[WP:GNG]] gives; those are reasonable arguments, and were made by the "[[WP:not counting heads|predominant number of responsible Wikipedians]]".
:
:Not only that, to present a [[WP:NOPAGE]] argument, those arguing for delete would need to at the very least point out what "shared page" the person would be covered in; no one arguing for delete did. [[User:Galobtter|Galobtter]] ([[User talk:Galobtter|pingó mió]]) 04:50, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
::Hmmm. Odd that you refer to "the predominant number of responsible Wikipedians", linking that phrase to [[WP:CLOSE]], which explicitly warns "Consensus is not determined by counting heads".

Most participants in the discussion insisted on speaking only to the first part of the process -- GNG -- and ignoring the second part -- PAGEDECIDE aka NOPAGE. Anyway, thanks for your replies.

== Take part in a survey ==

Hi Galobtter

We're working to [[:m:Research:How much do Wikipedians value editing Wikipedia?|measure the value of Wikipedia in economic terms]].  We want to ask you some questions about how '''you''' value being able to edit Wikipedia.  

Our survey should take about 10-15 minutes of your time. We hope that you will enjoy it and find the questions interesting. All answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be anonymized before the aggregate results are published. Regretfully, we can only accept responses from people who live in the US due to restrictions in our grant-based funding. 

As a reward for your participation, we will randomly pick 1 out of every 5 participants and give them $25 worth of goods of their choice from the [https://store.wikimedia.org/ Wikipedia store] (e.g. Wikipedia themed t-shirts). Note that we can only reward you if you are based in the US.

== Category creation protection, part 2 ==

Hey, so CactusWriter (the admin which blocked the creation of the category) hasn't been online since the 5th. Where would be the correct venue to ask for a review of this block? --[[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 19:29, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
:{{u|Gonnym}}, The review would probably be at [[WP:DRV]]; however I ''can'' unprotect it; but a first question - it seems, from reviewing the discussions, that a a category [[:Category:Arrowverse specific characters]] a la the MCU one you mentioned would supported for creation while [[:Category:Arrowverse characters]] may just be re CfDed. Would creating the former category be acceptable to you? [[User:Galobtter|Galobtter]] ([[User talk:Galobtter|pingó mió]]) 09:46, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
::That ''could'' work, but would be a sub-optimal title. The reason the MCU editors choose that title was, I'm assuming, since other editors were adding the comic character articles to that title and they wanted it made clear that it was for MCU-only articles. However, that happened because said editors were also blocking the creation of new articles on the basis that the comic book articles already exist. This has been recently challenged with 2 new MCU creations. This was also somewhat of an issue with the Arrowverse but there have been several new articles created recently. Also, per [[WP:CONSISTENCY]] with 99.9% other character categories out there, we never use "specific" in the title (except the MCU one), so for example, [[The Flash (2014 TV series)]], does not have a category named [[:Category:The Flash (2014 TV series) specific characters]], for which an argument can be made that other editors would mistakenly be adding comic book articles to it. Also, [[:Category:Arrowverse character redirects to lists]] exists so that would need to be also changed, which would mean dozen of pointless edits. So to sum it up, it could work, but there is absolutely no reason not to use the standard title. --[[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 11:14, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

== Quick question re reviews ==

Hello there, you were recently friendly and helpful on my talk page and told me I could ask you for help... the time has come! A ref error just now alerted me to the fact that a new user has been adding music reviews to pages such as [[Fragile (Yes album)]] sourced to "Sea of Tranquility." Wiki doesn't have an article for that source (though it is mentioned on the [[Sea of Tranquility (disambiguation)|disambiguation page]] as being a music webzine).

This seems odd to me, as I *think* that box is reserved for reviews from notable sources. It seems as if opening it up to any old review from any old zine would be asking for trouble/clutter. But I don't know for sure, and wanted to run this past someone. Am I off base here? 

Also, it's a holiday week and this could not possibly be lower-priority, so please take your time getting back to me, if ever. Thanks for your time, and Merry Christmas, if Christmas is a thing in your life! Best, [[User:Jessicapierce|Jessicapierce]] ([[User talk:Jessicapierce|talk]]) 02:37, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
:{{u|Jessicapierce}}, One useful tip regarding subject specific questions is that the relevant WikiProject usually has useful information on the subject, and one can ask on the talk page of the project. So in this case it'd be [[WP:ALBUM|the Album WikiProject]]. "Sea of Tranquility" would have to be a reliable source to be considered for inclusion in the box; per the WikiProject guide [[WP:NOTRSMUSIC]], Sea of Tranquility is not a reliable source and so should be removed from the article entirely. And in general, there's [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Album article style advice#Album ratings template|some advice]] on the Album ratings box: "When choosing which reviews to include, consider the notability of the review source and keeping a neutral point of view."

== Paid editor ==

Hi there, would you please take a look at the editor AnnaEPAAS, a paid editor, who writes mostly for our [[Environmental Protection Agency]] article but other sites related to the EPA as well.  As you will see on her user page, she says that she works for the "EPA Alumni Association" which I did try to research and ended up with more questions than answers. Maybe it's just me but I find her user page a little misleading...

BTW, some years ago I ran into a few problems at the [[Clothianidin]] article when [[user:USEPA James]], an EPA employee, attempted to whitewash that article.  It was back in 2011 and perhaps they were not yet so concerned about paid edits back then. I am not suggesting that Anna is attempting to bias the EPA article, but she has made so many edits that it could be said that she has close to ghost written it--that charge was made a few years back when it was learned that a paid editor had added numerous edits to the [[BP]] article even though it was just basic stuff.

== Copyvio vs plagiarism - public domain (US gov) ==

Hi Galobtter, Greeting to you. Just a quick question. My understanding is that public domain document is exemption of copyright protection. copyright violation is against the law but plagiarism is not abide by law but a moral/ethical violation. So if an article in Wikipedia copy word by word for more than 50% of the text from public domain, that would be accepted in Wikipedia and not need for CSD nomination? Thank you.

:{{u|CASSIOPEIA}}, Yes, if an article is copied from a public domain source, there is no need to delete it; one usually adds {{t|PD-notice}} or a similar template as a courtesy. An additional note: the standard for [[WP:G12]] is not "more than 50%" from a copyrighted source but that basically all the text is a copyright violation. Where less is a copyright violation one'd usually remove the copyright violating text and ask for {{t|revdel}} of the revisions with copyright violations.

== logging normal admin actions ==

Hey, I was wondering if you might reconsider logging things like [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration_enforcement_log/2019&diff=876292382&oldid=876266756 this]. As I understand it, the logging is only ''required'' for ''discretionary'' sanctions that a single admin wouldn't be ordinarily be able to place outside the topic area. So you're required to log special page restrictions or topic bans, but not ordinary page protections and blocks. The only effect of logging something like a page protection is to make it so no other admin is allowed to reduce the protection level for any reason without explicit permission from you. In my mind it makes more sense to just have it be a regular admin action that can be changed through normal process in the future if any change is needed. <span style="font-family:times; text-shadow: 0 0 .2em #7af">~[[User:Awilley|Awilley]] <small>([[User talk:Awilley|talk]])</small></span> 03:41, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
:{{u|Awilley}}, the way the [[WP:A/I/PIA]] restriction works, is that irregardless of whether an admin has actually applied protection, the restriction still applies. So unless the committee rescinds the remedy, there would be no point in removing the protections I applied anyhow. (also, per [[Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log/2018#Extended confirmed protections]] it is pretty normal to log this sort of thing; I just happened to be the first this year).  Additionally, in the process of applying ECP I also added the 1RR page restriction template, since they go hand-in-hand.

== Big Brother housemates sandbox use? ==

Hey Galobtter I'm just wanting to make sure I'm doing this right. I reviewed all of the what links here for {{tl|Big Brother housemates}} and found most are just normal mentions in discussions that should not be changed. I removed the template from [[User:Lupin787/Grande Fratello (season 12)|this draft]], [[User:Seaserpent85/BBA|this sandbox]] and from this [[User:Realitytvislife|user page]]. I also tagged several sandboxes and user page under [[WP:U5|CSD U5]] as the template was being used for personal/webhosting purposes. The use of this template at [[Talk:Big Brother Canada (season 3)]] is part of edit requests that are archived. Should I edit archived requests to remove the template? Also should I remove it from [[Template talk:Big Brother endgame]] even though this template will be deleted later on down the road? Sorry if I'm being a pest here just unsure about some things. Thanks for the help!

=="Unless the username is an egregious violation of policy"==
Hi, G. I don't agree with telling people they should hold off reporting new usernames like "Poopymaster666" or "Longschlong17" at UAA. Nothing wrong with blocking them, since they ''are'' egregious violation of policy IMO. So I blocked. [[User:Bishonen|Bishonen]] &#124; [[User talk:Bishonen|talk]] 19:47, 11 January 2019 (UTC).
:{{u|Bishonen}}, I think if people did indeed report every blockable violation of the username policy (and while clear, those are pretty run-of-the-mill violations IMO) from the account creation logs UAA would be backlogged to insanity. Of course, there's nothing wrong with blocking once the report is there, just that in my view people should be discouraged from reporting those things, because it takes less time to block the one user that edits once they do than blocking the 10 that don't.

I have compared it to a lot of other pages and it looks consistent and all facts are backed up with references.

:{{u|Sonnenalle44}}, You can create a draft through the [[Wikipedia:Article wizard]]; drafts won't be deleted unless something is severely problematic with them. Once you have done that you can submit the draft at [[WP:AFC]] and/or contact me. [[User:Galobtter|Galobtter]] ([[User talk:Galobtter|pingó mió]]) 13:13, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

== The reply-link newsletter, issue 1 ==

Hi! Welcome to the new reply-link newsletter, which I made because the ol' [[Special:Permalink/880862114#Sign up here to receive updates|list on the reply-link talk page]] was unwieldy. In case you haven't been following development recently, I've sent out some new updates that should let it reply basically anywhere, even in transcluded pages or under hatted discussions (two locations people have been wanting for a while). Reliability has also gone way up, as I've implemented a couple of sanity checks that help prevent the script from responding to the wrong message. Unfortunately, that means the script fails a bit more often. Anyway, try it out if you haven't done so in a while, and let me know what you think! I always appreciate feature requests or bug reports on [[User talk:Enterprisey/reply-link|the talk page]]. Happy replying!

== Huh? ==

Could you explain [[Special:Diff/880955317|this edit]]? --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 15:53, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
:{{u|Xover}}, If you look at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Characters_in_Hamlet&oldid=880601353 previous revision], there's an extra line above the lead which I fixed; I've swapped the order of the DISPLAYTITLE and Short description [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Characters_in_Hamlet&diff=880963265&oldid=880955317 which seems to also have done the trick] without bunching up the DISPLAYTITLE and Short description.

::Ah, thanks! Staring at the diff alone I couldn't for the life of me figure out what you were up to. Thanks for explaining. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 16:58, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
