Per the discussion at the talk page at [[User talk:SpaceImplorerExplorerImplorer]], my edit does not violate the spirit of any Wikipedia policy, including the [[WP:No original research]] one. [[User:InTheAstronomy32|InTheAstronomy32]] ([[User talk:InTheAstronomy32|talk]]) 15:05, 20 May 2024 (UTC) |

Added new article [[Aradial Networks]], very simple and similar to [[Aptilo Networks]] |

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[V528 Carinae]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[WISE]] ([http://dispenser.homenet.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/V528_Carinae check to confirm] | [http://dispenser.homenet.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/V528_Carinae fix with Dab solver]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small> |

Hello L, wanted to call your attention to something... |
|||
== Fake star name pointing to star article == |
|||
I am dismayed to see that someone has added a star naming company "Staracle" to the external links for a great many astronomical objects (see the [[Messier 2]] page for example). Isn't this an undue use of Wikipedia to promote commercialism, a rather scammy one at that? |
|||
You seem experienced, so I ask you. I have found this misleading redirect page [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Urodelus&redirect=no] where the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rursus/star_name_desinformation reported] fake name ''Urodelus'' is pointing to [[Epsilon Ursae Minoris]]. Do you know what is the best way to remove this redirect without going through the process of nominating it for deletion? [[User:Eynar|Eynar Oxartum]] ([[User talk:Eynar|talk]]) 10:56, 11 October 2016 (UTC) |
|||
:I'm not really an expert on Wikipedia policies and procedures. Redirects are not especially easy to delete, partly because there is generally very little cost and confusion by even a poor or unlikely redirect title. You might try for a [[Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#Redirects|speedy delete]] but I'm not sure if it will go through as an "implausible typo or misnomer". Other than that it needs the full discussion, although there isn't likely to be much discussion for something this obscure. I'll watch and pipe up if you request a delete.

Hi L, |
|||
Thanks for helping untangle [[Shyam Singh (politician)]] vs [[Shyam Singh Rana]]. Are they both current MLAs, or does the infobox of the former also need corrected? [[User:Oravrattas|Oravrattas]] ([[User talk:Oravrattas|talk]]) 17:48, 10 December 2024 (UTC) |

You left a comment on a page that I created stating that it requires better references. The information on the page is as I have received it from the professor himself. I might have changed a bit of English. But most of it is the way the professor or the scientist sent it to me. |
|||
:I'm not an expert and have no special knowledge, but the quick research I did suggested that the "original" (born 1948) was no longer in office and the "new" has just been elected. The assembly website shows them as two different people with two different names. However, see https://www.news18.com/elections/assembly/haryana/shyam-singh-rana-s07aed2008a010e2024c004/ which gives an age of 76 for Shyam Singh Rana, and https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/former-inld-mla-shyam-singh-rana-joins-bjp/articleshow/111526027.cms which describes the 2014 MLA as moving to the BJP in 2024.

:Yes, that can be difficult but Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a newspaper. You may [[WP:TRUTH|know]] something, but for Wikipedia it needs to be [[WP:VERIFY|verifiable]]. This is especially important in biographies of living people, for obvious reasons. I've only tagged the information that is uncited since it does not appear to be particularly contentious, but another editor would be quite justified in simply removing it all, so there is some incentive to finding published sources. Full policy guidelines are [[WP:LIVE|here]]. When I get time, I will come back to the astrophysics part - that's more my field and it does need to be changed.

Thanks for your comments on [[Planetary transits and occultations]]. I lifted this material from two other pages that appeared to have duplicated it. I have now researched and added some additional citations, but I still can't find verification of some of it, so I've left them as "citation needed".

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 [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol|New Pages Review]], the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various [[WP:Deletion|deletion criteria]]. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at [[Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''page reviewer talk''']]. {{pb}} |
|||
*[[WP:BITE|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. |

== Roffey Park Institute == |

Hello there. I've haven't logged into Wikipedia for a few days which is why I missed the speedy deletion of [[Roffey Park Institute]]. I create the article because I do believe that it is a notable UK management research institution that has been around from the 1940s (I think). I was hoping that others (or indeed myself) night be able to contribute to it. Now the page has been deleted, I can't quite remember what the article looked. Can it be reinstated? Thanks [[User:Seaweed|Seaweed]] ([[User talk:Seaweed|talk]]) 15:16, 17 December 2016 (UTC) |
|||
:You can ask the deleting admin (not me, the one that actually did the delete) to restore the page to your userspace so you can work on it some more. They will usually do this, although it's no guarantee the article will be acceptable in the future. Only in very unusual circumstances would they restore it directly to article space in the hope of someone doing some more work. Be careful about attempting to replace it since replacement of a deleted article with something essentially the same is frowned-upon. This would be a good time to read the [[WP:NOTABILITY]] guidelines since you will ultimately have to meet those or the article will get deleted again, speedily or otherwise. An article will only be speedily deleted if it makes no [[WP:CCOS|credible claim of significance]], but may still be deleted after discussion if it makes claims and still turns out not to be notable. A notable organisation might still be speedily deleted if you neglected to mention the reasons why it is so famous. I also seem to remember the article might have been overly promotional? Maybe not, but watch out for that (and copyright) especially when you're sourcing material from the company itself.

::: Thanks for that information. I'm managed to find a cached version of the page and I now remember it was just a single sentence and small company information. I don't think anyone else had edited the page, so perhaps Roffey Park Institute is not as notable as I thought it was. I'm not connected to them in any way, so it wasn't promotional. I'll leave it as deleted. [[User:Seaweed|Seaweed]] ([[User talk:Seaweed|talk]]) 17:09, 18 December 2016 (UTC) |

:It is gone. I'm sure that everything you say is true, real product, real company, real sales, trademark, patents, and all the rest, but that's not what counts. Might be time to read up on [[WP:NOTABLE|notability]]. Articles which don't meet the notability criteria will be deleted.

Remember that Wikipedia is here to provide information on subjects that a significant number of people globally might be tempted to search, not to advertise every company trying to get noticed. You may also wish to read the policies on [[WP:PAID|paid editing]] and [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]].

I understand why [[VY Orionis]] or articles about stars with no significant sources would be AfDed, but although the [[Hubble Ultra-Deep Field]] (UDF) object-related articles do not have lots of sources, they are somewhat important.

:Not entirely up to me. We're about to find out what others think, fingers crossed. I'll give my opinion though :) First, [[WP:NASTRO]] is quite clear. Not naked eye, no significant coverage, not in Wikipedia. The reason is obvious enough: there are billions of astronomical objects and all except a few thousand are simply uninteresting to anyone that would want to use Wikipedia as a source. Specific to the UDF catalogue, do you plan on creating 10,000+ articles about them? Probably not (hopefully not!), so you are cherry-picking "interesting" ones. I and one or two other people have been approving some of them that make some sort of claim to notability even if they don't quite meet [[WP:NASTRO]] (eg. closest UDF object), but creating a one-line stub just because you identified a blob on an image doesn't really cut it IMO. If even you can't find anything to say about it, probably there isn't anything to say about it. If you think the UDF is important, perhaps a better place to focus your enthusiasm would be [[Hubble Ultra-Deep Field]]. It is currently rated as start-class, but could easily become C-class. For UDF objects which don't rate their own article, they can always be an entry in a list or an image in a gallery.

== Pan-STARRS Sky Survey Images now available == |
|||
I just thought I'd let you know that recently, Pan-STARRS 1 released one of the largest sky surveys yet, and images of astronomical objects can be accessed at http://ps1images.stsci.edu/cgi-bin/ps1cutouts (you just type an object's name in the box), and read that Pan-STARRS 1 data and images can be used for publications and commercial use as long as they are acknowledged (http://ipp.ifa.hawaii.edu/). So, for articles for astronomical objects that don't have images, we can use Pan-STARRS 1 images. If I'm wrong, please notify me.

Dear Lithopsian, |
|||
I was working on that from the root of that group (https://www.geni.com/people/Karumuttu-Thiagarajan-Chettiar/6000000003215947491 & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karumuttu_Thiagarajan_Chettiar,) Especially mahathma gandhiji wore loin cloth at karumuttu thiagarajan chettiar house 251 west masi street. (https://books.google.co.in/books/about/Karumuttu_Thiagaraja_Chettiar_the_textil.html?id=44ftAAAAMAAJ&redir_esc=y) since i collect all information about the 4th generation, i did start with vee technologies http://www.veetechnologies.com/profile/our-roots.htm, and even sona valliappa group also am working in that http://www.valliappa.com/sonagroup/promain.htm). this current generation from the root. |
|||
So please let me know how i can continue to update this information to wikipedia |

Per the discussion at the talk page at User talk:SpaceImplorerExplorerImplorer, my edit does not violate the spirit of any Wikipedia policy, including the WP:No original research one. InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 15:05, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Actually i use Zotero to make citations. InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 18:53, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- Then you need to find something better because it sucks for Wikipedia. Lithopsian (talk) 19:57, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- I am still using Zotero but fixing the citation errors 21 Andromedae (talk) 20:31, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
"Staracle" external links to star naming company
[edit]Hello L, wanted to call your attention to something...
I am dismayed to see that someone has added a star naming company "Staracle" to the external links for a great many astronomical objects (see the Messier 2 page for example). Isn't this an undue use of Wikipedia to promote commercialism, a rather scammy one at that?
I'm writing to you because I think you're a more experienced editor than me, so might know better how to deal with the issue. Or if not, at least let me know your opinion. Best and clear skies! Assambrew (talk) 23:16, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Somewhat a false alarm. Using LINKSEARCH, I found only about a dozen external links to Staracle. I will go ahead and remove them. Thanks for listening... Assambrew (talk) 03:18, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Shyam Singh
[edit]Thanks for helping untangle Shyam Singh (politician) vs Shyam Singh Rana. Are they both current MLAs, or does the infobox of the former also need corrected? Oravrattas (talk) 17:48, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not an expert and have no special knowledge, but the quick research I did suggested that the "original" (born 1948) was no longer in office and the "new" has just been elected. The assembly website shows them as two different people with two different names. However, see https://www.news18.com/elections/assembly/haryana/shyam-singh-rana-s07aed2008a010e2024c004/ which gives an age of 76 for Shyam Singh Rana, and https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/former-inld-mla-shyam-singh-rana-joins-bjp/articleshow/111526027.cms which describes the 2014 MLA as moving to the BJP in 2024. So, the same person after all? Lithopsian (talk) 14:31, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
