Template you might find useful

Meant to show this to you a few days ago, but I saw this edit[1] and figured you'd fid the Creative Commons text attribution notice template useful. If you add it through the insert template tool, there's a nice drop down window of all the compatible license options. Hope this helps! GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 08:06, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, GreenLipstickLesbian!! That particular draft article had been declined for copyright violations twice, even though the "copyright issues" were with MNopedia, which is under CC by SA 3.0, so I was trying to find a way to make that clear for future reviewers. I looked around for an easy way to add a Creative Commons attribution and couldn't find a good way to do it. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 17:07, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

I was going to make some comment about how either of the text attribution notices we added should have tripped a message in Earwig letting the reviewer know that the article claimed to be from a compatibly licensed source, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Hmmm. For an example of what I'm talking about, Template:Source-attribution trips a warning when you use Earwig on the Dick Cheney article. I think this might be an issue with draftspace though, because the Template:PD-notice using Draft:Rocky Reach AVA doesn't show a message either.

Sorry to bother you @Chlod, but have I a) guessed what's going on and b) is this intentional? I could have sworn Earwig used to pick up these templates in draft space. Have I lost my mind? GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 00:20, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm answering my own questions here.Template:CCBYSASource doesn't trip the Earwig warning, even in mainspace. (As evidenced by running checks on Lithuanian Armed Forces or Mammal) Parkinson's disease) uses the creative commons attribution notice template, and doesn't trip the warning. Fishing vessel has Template:Free-content attribution, which trips the filter, and a creative commons notice template, which does not. John F. Kennedy uses PD-notice and does not trip the warning. So it just doesn't scan for everything. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 00:49, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi, @GreenLipstickLesbian! Can you let me know if I used the CC template appropriately at Failures of water supply and sanitation systems? I'd really appreciate your feedback. :) Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 01:28, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes, that looks perfect! I mean okay the citation generator filled in the wrong author or something, but I'll fix that. You always have the option of putting the template inside the ref tags of the source itself, but that's really just a matter of preference. (Unless there's some obscure MOS guideline saying we only put this template inside the ref tags on a full moon, and even then only if the url ends in a vowel. If that's the case, then if I disappear you know which cabal is after me!) GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 01:42, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

GreenLipstickLesbian: I decided to use the template inside the ref for Draft:Moneca Delain. We'll see if the MOS ghouls arise. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 22:59, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Two days after the full moon, and on a draft where the URL ends in a consonant? MOS ghouls rn: 👻 👻 👻 Slightly more seriously, I'm actually impressed that somebody's importing not terrible fandom content into Wikipedia. I'm not seeing notability, but that's not a crime and it's not a bad attempt. Hopefully they'll learn the copyright rules and stick around. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 02:43, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Same! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:48, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, @GreenLipstickLesbian! Surprisingly, this is the first time I saw Earwig showed these kinds of banners. Your assessment was right, though. After looking at the code, it seems it specifically looks for: {{CC-notice}}, {{Citation-attribution}}, {{Free-content attribution}}, {{Open-source attribution}}, and {{Source-attribution}}. Other templates won't trigger the banner. This can be changed though; I'll look into doing that for templates mentioned here that don't trip the banner when I have free time. :) Chlod (say hi!) 02:53, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Request

Could you please edit and publish my draft article > Draft:Glossary on using PC Computer | Raph Williams65 (talk) 12:46, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Raph Williams65! I will not edit and publish your draft article. When you are unblocked, you can submit it for review by another editor. In the meantime, I recommend you read Wikipedia's guidelines for glossaries. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 14:56, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Please review changes

Could you please check the page after I made the changes you advised? R3T8V2W7 (talk) 15:41, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, R3T8V2W7! Can you tell me what page you're referring to? Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 15:44, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Upper Hand Organization R3T8V2W7 (talk) 18:06, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, R3T8V2W7! Unfortunately, this draft article is still not ready to be published for two main reasons:

1. There is not enough information about the organization in the article to provide sufficient context and understanding of the topic. At present, the article seems to focus on Mohamad Al-Mail, not the organization.
2. Because the organization appears to be related to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly construed, you are not permitted to edit the article. Wikipedia considers the Arab-Israeli conflict to be a contentious topic, and only extended-confirmed editors may edit pages related to the conflict. As such, I recommend refraining from editing that page until your account is at least 30 days old and you have made more than 500 edits.

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions. :) Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 19:17, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

your edit summary

The link you used in your edit summary on Fawzia Amin Sido was a red link. Wikipedia:CTOP/AI

I'm "aware" of the contentious topic, so I think I know what you meant. But I have seen a red link in other similar edit summaries, I don't know if they were also you.

I also wanted to see the discussion about it. Is that what the red link was supposed to direct to? I don't object, I only wanted to read it.

Tag me please if you reply here, but an answer on the talk page for that page might be better, for anyone else who sees the red link in the history and wants to know more.

Industrial Metal Brain (talk) 06:17, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Wandering about and noticed this. I've fixed the redlinks by redirecting it like WP:CT/AI. SilverLocust 💬 06:55, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

@SilverLocust, Thank you. On the topic of redirects, the redirect "child suicide bomber" should be protected to avoid it being reverted to how it was before the recent discussion. But I am not sure how to request that. Industrial Metal Brain (talk) 10:55, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, @Industrial Metal Brain! Typically, we do not preemptively protect a page (i.e., protect before any vandalism has occurred); the one caveat is that if an administrator notices a page that falls under WP:ECR, it is acceptable to preemptively protect due to standing arbitration. If you notice that a user is overturning the redirect, feel free to reach out to me. You can also request page protection here. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 13:11, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

It would count as Arab-Israeli conflict. But I don't know if that applies to redirects. Industrial Metal Brain (talk) 14:18, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out, Industrial Metal Brain! I have now gone ahead and protected the page. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 15:12, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, wrong tag, I got confused by both being S.L. Industrial Metal Brain (talk) 11:11, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Will the in-line citations suffice for the verification of the information in the article ? Veno 258 (talk) 05:50, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Veno 258 Hi there. Whatever the article is, yes, inline citations would be great. It would help reviewers to verify the contents of the page, so do add them. See here for guide. Happy editing, Vanderwaalforces (talk) 06:20, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

I've didn't add any citations and submitted the article and got a comment from reviewer t add in-text citations, so to resolve this in-line citations will also be fine right ? Veno 258 (talk) 06:58, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

@Veno 258 Yes, it will be fine. Simply cite your sources inline as explained in the link I share above. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 07:31, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

okay, thank you so much 2409:4089:1EBB:4E92:DD0E:9C47:EF8:38EF (talk) 13:07, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi there! Are you asking if you can use parenthetical citations, such as those used in APA or MLA format? If so, the community has agreed that parenthetical citations should not be used in new articles (see WP:PAREN). Instead, you should use Wikipedia's in-text citation style. For information about referencing on Wikipedia, you can check out "Referencing for Beginners". Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 15:23, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

I have added in-line citations in my article on bhakra railways, Can you please check and lemme know where else to improve, thank you Veno 258 (talk) 15:37, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Sounds good! Because the topic falls outside my range of expertise, I do not feel comfortable reviewing the article for notability concerns. As such, you will have to wait for another editor at Articles for Creation to review. Take care, Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 18:53, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

No issues significa, Thank you anyway. Veno 258 (talk) 07:54, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

The Barnstar of Good Humor

Hello, Significa liberdade, You became an admin rather recently and if you actually jump into carrying out admin duties and responsibilities, you're going to receive a lot of feedback. This is natural since most of our existing admin corps became admins 5-15 years ago and some actions and decisions which are second nature to them you have to work to gradually acquire. The best attitude to have seems to be the one you have adopted which that this is all part of a learning curve. After a year, you will be pointing out errors from our newest admin crew, it's just the cycle of administrative life. Thank you for your continued good humor about the inevitable bumps in the transition process. Liz Read! Talk! 07:02, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Editing & Confused

Thank-you so much for your quick feedback regarding my article attempt! I've been backwards and forwards through it, ran it through 3 different online Wikpedia checkers (just as a tool, not for editing). Still not sure I have it, not even sure I'm typing in the correct place. :) Drafting way harder than editing, I live in South Africa (but Canadian born), editing to fill Africa knowledge gaps is fun, drafting not so fun. I'd be grateful for any feedback. A little ironically, I'm a communications consultant, over 20 years experience, I generally consider myself a super expert at picking up and mimicking style and voice, but yikes, this is not easy. Much thanks!! DeborahAfrica (talk) 16:12, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, DeborahAfrica, and thanks for reaching out! Creating articles is definitely challenging! Many people tend to start out with creating articles without realizing how difficult it can be to do well. One of the issues is that, in the "real world", we're often inundated with promotional or otherwise non-neutral language. I took a quick look at your draft, and it certainly looks way less promotional now. When you submit for review, I'll let another reviewer look at it to provide another opinion. Let me know if you have any further questions! Take care, Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 17:48, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Article Denied

Hi Significa liberdade! Thank you so much for the message. I thought I wrote the article in a neutral tone based on the articles that I used to support the statements. Would it be possible to share one example of what I did wrong? Thank you again for your help! I would also love for you to review my draft again before submission. Huffyman2007 (talk) 06:36, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Huffyman2007, and thank you for reaching out! Before I provide any specific guidance, can you tell me if you have a conflict of interest with Garret Huffman? On Wikipedia, a conflict of interest can arise whenever you edit articles "about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships" (see WP:COI).

Regardless, whenever you're writing a Wikipedia article, you want to make sure the article has an encyclopedic tone. This means highlighting the most important, relevant information, as well as refraining from "hyping" the subject. As an example of the former from your draft, I'm curious about the relevance of Huffman's basketball teaming winning the JV Basketball State championship. If we imagine ourselves as historians, looking back at Huffman in 50-100 years from now, would that be an important detail? Playing JV basketball is fairly common, so unless it's highly important to the subject's trajectory, it's likely irrelevant. As for the second point (i.e., hyping), I look to sentences such as "Covid hit and changed the trajectory of Garrett's life tremendously". This type of phrasing creates an exciting story that the reader may be interested to read, but it's not encyclopedic in tone.

I hope that makes sense! Writing in an encyclopedic tone is incredibly difficult, and it takes practice to learn! For examples of well-written articles, I recommend checking out those designated as Good Articles. A list of Good Articles about musicians can be found here. Let me know if you have further questions. Take care, Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 03:38, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

The superfamily Cyclopygoidea encompasses more families than just Cyclopygidae. So that is why I don't accept the rejection reason as valid, although I might try to improve it so it gets accepted next time.

Your draft article, Draft:Critical phenomenology

Hello, Significa liberdade. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Critical phenomenology".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Review on the submission untitled "Quantum phase space approach"

Hello, thank you for the review on the submission untitled "Quantum phase space approach" . However , I don't understand why you declined it because the sources that are used as references are peer reviewed high quality scientific journals  ? Rshon13 : all of the contents are based on these "peer reviewed" sources. (talk) 06:04, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Rshon13! Thank you for reaching out! The Draft:Quantum phase space approach article was not declined due to inadequate sourcing. As you said, it is based on peer-reviewed articles. However, the article needs to be written in an encyclopedic tone. As another reviewer commented, some of the article reads as if it were "a lesson in school". The following sentence is a good example: "We first consider the simple example of a system with one degree of freedom." To help figure out how to write in the appropriate tone, it may be helpful to check out articles designated as Good Articles. You can find physics articles here.

Question

Hi! You denied submission of a draft had been working on, I was awondering if you could help leave a better, descriptive reason as to what I need to change to get it to publishing status?

My draft is Draft:Societas Classica Academiae Pinkertoniae Aperson118 (talk) 02:50, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Aperson118, and thank you for reaching out! When deciding which articles should be on Wikipedia, we establish notability using reliable, independent sources with significant coverage of the topic. At present, the draft includes a lot of primary sources, which do not establish notability. For example, a school newsletter talking about the club makes the club important to the school, but it doesn't show why the club is notable beyond the school--particularly for a global audience. Other sources provided seem to be from local newspapers, which can be used, but if you can find sources talking about this club that are more removed (e.g., scholarly articles or larger newspapers), that would be beneficial.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any follow-up questions, comments, and/or concerns. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 16:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello there, 'tis the season again, believe it or not, the years pass so quickly now! A big thank you for all of your contributions to Wikipedia in 2024! Wishing you a Very happy and productive 2025!  ♦ Maliner (talk) 21:30, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you and happy new year, Maliner! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 21:33, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
• A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.

Technical news

• The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.

Arbitration

• Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.

Miscellaneous

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Appreciation

Hey there. I'm really appreciating your attitude toward blocked users; it counters a lot of the kneejerk harshness that often comes to those of us who have been working the CAT:RFU for a long time. What I try to do periodically is focus on finding a reason to accept unblock requests rather than finding reasons to decline them. It's gratifying when it works. I've had one or two come back to bite me over the years, but if you see me accepting a request with "I'm assuming good faith and unblocking", that's what's gone on.

Thanks for being here to keep us old-timers honest. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 02:59, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Aw, thanks for the note of appreciation, Jpgordon! It means a lot. <3 Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 18:12, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

I think we may have a CIR situation on our hands here. We both tried to give them a chance to clarify their meaning, and it is still clear as mud. I see Chaotic Enby is taking a swing at it, but I think a decline may be in order if they again fail to show an understanding of why they were blocked.
