adding a new references to "Intelligent laser speckle classification "

I have added some new field and independent references to "Intelligent laser speckle classification " article against its deletion consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orunab (talk • contribs) 01:10, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

If that's a book, can you fix the ISBN? I was originally looking to just fix the ISBN because it was invalid, that's when I found out it was a movie. Couldn't find the book. Wes sideman (talk) 16:06, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

The ISBN quoted is that given on the cover of the book (I have an original) so I am unsure what is going wrong. However, I will see if I can find a valid number. It may just because of the age of the book. Regards  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   16:11, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Equator Pure Nature

Dear Velella,

Thank you for reviewing my article "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equator_Pure_Nature" and gave me the feedback. "Nothing here to demonstrate notability. What appear to be reliable sources are interviews or press releases. The whole tone is very advertorial . Draft was moved to mainspace without any reviews. Fails WP:GNG. Very strong likelihood of COI or paid editing Velella Velella Talk 13:42, 19 February 2021 (UTC)"

It would be very thankful if you can guide or suggest me more on how improve this article. - Do I need to revise the whole tone of the article and make it less commercial? - on Fails WP:GNG, what should I fix to make it look ok? - Very strong likelihood of COI or paid editing, in this case how to improve this?

I'm look forward to hearing from you. Thank you so much.

I very rarely re-visit articles that I have nominated for deletion because it may give the impression of vindictiveness or undue pressure. I prefer that other editors make their own assessment and judgement and I am generally content to accept the consensus verdict at the end of the day. My reading of this article was that it had almost certainly been written by the owner of the company, a significant employee or an agent of the company (marketing agent, advertising agent etc.). This is a conflict of interest and MUST be confirmed on the editor's user-page. Only if this is done, might I be prepared to make further comment.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   10:01, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Image placement on Rust

Hello,

Regarding your recent modification of the image placement in the rust page. I don't know what the policy is, but I believe specific information should come first since the expectation of people going to a page is to find something out about the topic of the page. Putting the box (which is not an information box about rust but about about steel in general and I don't think should be there at all because the page is not about steel and none of the steels were mentioned in the page (maybe iron was)) is not immediately helpful. The use of an info box is similar to the table of contents which appears after the intro. In addition, the image that comes up for rust that appears when you hover over a link to the rust page (if you have it enabled) now becomes becomes the generic image for steel. Imagine if every page that was related to steel had the same image at the start. This indeed was the case and I have changed a few of them. So I believe we should put a (nice) rust image at the start and similarly with all pages. Let me know what you think. NeedsGlasses (talk) 12:03, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Mercury Pollution in Canada

Hi Velella. I hope all is well. I'm trying to understand why you declined this draft, as it had over a dozen inline references to good sources. Can you tell me more about your reasoning? Best, Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 21:33, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

What I wrote was " It is impossible to determine which refs are supposed to substantiate which facts. It is possible that the topic is notable but this cannot be determined in the current state of the Draft article ". I had hoped that was self explanatory. Is it not?  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   22:22, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi again. I notice you've reverted my move with the edit summary, "clearly not yet ready for main-space . Moved to mainspace by author wothout review." I am not the author of the article, as is obvious from the edit history. I made one edit to the article before moving it, which consisted of removing whitespace.[1]

I read the entire article and your review comment before moving it. Your review comment would make sense in a draft that had zero inline citations. It does not make sense in an article with over a dozen inline citations. W.r.t. your comments on my Talk page, I understand that there are quality issues with this article. I get that, but the bar we have at AfC is supposed to be equivalent to the bar we have at AfD, which allows for some quality issues for notable topics.

Regarding your assertion on my Talk page that I "subvert[ed] the normal review process on Wikipedia", we have two normal review processes: AfC and NPP. Articles moved from Draft to mainspace go through the second review process. AfC is an optional process; nothing is being subverted when someone other than an AfC Reviewer moves a draft out of Draft space.

A pattern that I see over and over again at Wikipedia is that Start-class drafts written by new editors get declined at AfC with a weak explanation, the original editor is long gone, nobody works on the draft, and six months later we lose both a draft and a new editor. The instructions for AfC reviewers say, "Article submissions that are likely to survive an AfD nomination should be accepted and published to mainspace." Do you believe this article isn't likely to survive an AfD nomination? Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 23:31, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

If it was in mainspace I would support an AfD as it stands. I believe that the draft both could and should be rescued, but it needs much work.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   23:38, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

If you're willing to work on it to bring it up to your standards, that would be awesome. Or if you can think of more comprehensive review comments, that would be helpful, because you seem to want more than just more references but your review comment only talks about references. There's no rush to publish this draft but I also don't want it to end up as a G13. If in six months I see it headed for deletion via G13, I'll probably move it to mainspace so that it at least has a chance to go through AfD. Honestly, I've seen much worse articles recently survive AfD. Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 23:51, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Not so new I think. You have been told 5 times so far that you need to declare your conflict of interest and you have failed to do so. Unless you refrain from editing articles where you have a financial or other interests you are likely to be blocked and all articles that you have created or substantially edited may be nominated for deletion.

@Velella, Once you review the draft - however you feel that it should be removed, then you can remove it. If the article has been deleted before, it does not mean that it is still not notable. I said earlier that I expected you. 223.238.210.234 (talk) 18:12, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Rejected Article: Witness Collection

Hello Velella,

On 24 February you rejected my submission on Witness Collection. In your explanation, you wrote: "The first three sources, included in the lede, which should establish notability are very far from independent, originating from the owner/curator of the collection. The many remaining refs do not provide the evidence of notability required. If this collection is this important, there really ought to be significant independent coverage, but it isn't here."

I think you are entirely mistaken. The first three sources mentioned in the article are from Sophie's Art Tour - an art tour agency based in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City - the National University of Singapore, and Art Asia Pacific consecutively. While notable institutions, none of these have any direct relation to the collection and certainly not "originating from the owner/curator of the collection." They do, however, feature Witness Collection, thereby providing evidence of its notoriety.

There are a following 41 references that include books and articles published by houses, museums and institutions around the world, all mentioning the collection by name or featuring art part of the collection.

Based on your inaccurate response, I would like you to reconsider your decision to reject the submission. Unless you provide further details on why you rejected it, I see no reason to re-submit it as is.

Many thanks,

Springding (talk) 11:33, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

As a matter of course, I do not revisit previous AFC reviews. It is much better to have an independent view on the merits or de-merits of the sources.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   13:24, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Adding external Links and Not spamming

Hi, Please tell me, what did I violate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajansingh99 (talk • contribs) 14:23, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

What you were doing is link spamming. Adding a promotional link, sometimes embedded in anodyne text but all just to promote a website and its products and promoters. And you know that, so why ask.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   14:35, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Edits to [[Chemical Safety]]

Thanks for your comments on my students talk page, but please do not hesitate to undo changes. The students were informed on how to edit pages, and how to move work out of their sandbox and this student clearly did not follow the instructions. Over the next three weeks we will be reviewing and monitoring their edits, and having their changes undone is a part of the process. --Drglheard (talk) 14:39, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I like many editors here, was once a student and reacting to constructive criticism is not always easy at that age! I was hoping that they might revisit the article and revise their changes and , hopefully, feel good about working to a consensus. I will keep an eye on the article and revise as necessary if nothing else happens. Thanks for the explanation.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   14:44, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

No worries! I appreciate you keeping an eye on things. Honestly I think that article should be merged with Laboratory_safety. --Drglheard (talk) 15:02, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Drglheard - This conversation should probably be taking place at the article talk page - but that might just give the students a heads up! There has been a past proposal to merge which failed. I would oppose that in any case. I have been professionally and operationally involved in dealing with a spill of 20 tonnes of liquid oxygen into a small stream (hundreds of very brittle common eels) , an environmental spill of a small quantity of mercaptan (staff still smelling weeks later), organised a real-time emergency exercise of a large scale liquid chlorine spillage (several virtual deaths), finding a warehouse full of aluminium dross and waste flux evolving a toxic concentration of ammonia gas and busting spontaneously into flame from rain falling through a hole in the roof, amongst many more. Chemical safety is a very big issue in industry and transport, and it rather puts the laboratory issue in the shade. When I saw that student editor was going to be involved, I hoped that maybe if that student was bright and imaginative , they would see the great potential of the subject. So far it has been a bit mechanistic and inward looking. It would be great, if, with encouragement, the view was outwards and imaginative.

WP:UAA

Thanks for your recent report at WP:UAA. Although I have now blocked this account, in future it's best to wait until an account with an offensive username actually edits, or gets caught by the filters, as many are automatically created and are never active, or are simply created for sheer fun. (Personally, I would like to see every deeply offensive username completely removed from the list of user accounts - especially if they've never edited - but sadly this isn't how Wikipedia seems to want to operate. You'd be amazed, for example, by how many accounts there are with 'Nigger' in the title that have never edited. Thankfully, all have been blocked. I see no reason for them to remain, and they only bring shame on Wikipedia, and a slight snigger on the faces of those who created them. Cheers, Nick Moyes (talk) 22:59, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Nick Moyes - you are right of course, but sometimes, just sometimes, when some silly little prat thinks he (and I suspect nearly always a he) can make a mildly obscene addition to Wikipedia though a username, it just seems to need some redress. A note on the talk page acknowledges that someone has seen it. A silent block just neutralises it. Most of these, you may be glad to hear I just let pass me by.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   08:07, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

JulianTRubin

Hi, I see you removed a bunch of links to JulianTRubin.com, calling it "link spam". I reverted you in cases where the site was cited as a reference. A site being widely cited is not in itself evidence of link spam. The IP user who seems to have gotten you started on this wasn't spamming this site; he or she was replacing references to the dead site www.patent-invent.com with references to the same material now hosted at JulianTRubin.com. This is actually the right action when cited material has been moved.--Srleffler (talk) 22:56, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Srleffler - Although I didn't look at all the references, many of those that I did look at were simply parroting Wikipedia itself or had copy and paste text from other much more reliable sites and then marking the page as copyright with no acknowledgement of the source. Although I don't see any advertisements as my router blocks them all, it appeared to be a site that attracted visitors in order to sell them stuff and add advertising. I couldn't find a single occasion when the site had valuable content that was not stolen/ borrowed from elsewhere. On that basis I believe it to be a total spam site.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   08:02, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Velella: Thanks for the reply. I accept that argument. I didn't see any ads when I looked at the site, but like you they were being blocked. --Srleffler (talk) 16:56, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Mestolobes droseropa

In your edit summary for reverting my PROD you said this: "There is a presumption in favour of retention of species articles provided that they are valid spp. This is." However I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean by this. I"m not going to re-PROD the article as the rules prevent me from doing so, however I would at least like to know what you mean by that so I can try and figure out what the page needs. Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Wikipedia Editor (talk) 19:37, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Blaze The Wolf#top - What I said in full was "all evidence points towards this being a valid species. Most Hawaiian moths are endemic and this is no exception. There is a presumption in favour of retention of species articles provided that they are valid spp. This is" - and clearly I either lost consciousness before completing the sentence or I pressed the enter key in error. However, there has been widespread acceptance and consensus over the years that articles about organisms who names are accepted by the appropriate taxonomical expert bodies and have a reference to demonstrate that they are a valid species, will be entitled to retain an article. If challenged, I would agree than many such articles are barren of information and their very reason for existence must be questionable but that is the nature of consensus. I guess the only way forward is to improve them. I am aware that some editors produced vast numbers of these one-liner articles, possibly to boost their edit count but it is hardly a useful exercise. I understood the reasoning behind the PROD and had significant sympathy with the motive, but consensus must hold sway. If you were to ask me to point to the discussion, I couldn't, but I am sure that there are appropriate experts around who can direct you.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   20:50, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Care of Terracotta Pots

Hello,

I am not sure why my suggestion was rejected, I wanted to contribute to the wikipedia community and wanted to share my experiences, hence I tried to follow the rules to add the citation where it was collected from. I have personally followed these tips, and I believe all the users can conserve their pots and help our nature by following and respecting our mother earth.

Many Thanks for your understanding, and I apologise if I broke any rule; I only wanted to contribute. may I request you to kindly review my suggestion, and trust you will judge for the best.

Have a great day.

Cheers

Ginamiles - Your first edit was to Container garden which was the addition of a significant quantity of text referenced to a commercial supplier of terracotta goods in Pakistan. Doing this is termed link spam on Wikipedia - adding text with a spam reference embedded in it. This practice is very strongly deprecated and, if you were to persist in doing it, you would be blocked.

In this first edit you included the link as an in-line URL in the header. In-line URLs are not acceptable in Wikipedia and certainly not in a header. Your second edit was to add the same spam link into the "External links" section. Your third edit was again the insertion of the same spam link into Terracotta.

Going back to your first edit, most, if not all the text, was a direct copy from the web-site being spammed. This was a direct copyright violation. Wikipedia takes the issue of copyright violation very seriously, and again repeated violations will result in a block. On a less serious note, please always sign posts on talk pages using your signature which is produced by adding four tildes.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   16:32, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

In reference to your comment on "Intelligence Node Draft"

I have changed our intro lines as per your feedback Also I would like to bring to your attention that we have followed all notability guidelines issued by wikipedia. The information mentioned can be verified from reliable sources such as The Economic Times ( which as per wikipedia itself, "As of 2012, it is the world's second-most widely read English-language business newspaper, after The Wall Street Journal") & TechCrunch ( according to wikipedia "TechCrunch is an American online newspaper focusing on high tech and startup companies.") and have several other reliable sources. We believe we have followed all notability rules of wikipedia. Please review it again and share your feedback. TullikaInode1 (talk) 09:06, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

TullikaInode1 - I am confused. Can you please explain the several references to "we" above and elsewhere. Who exactly is "we". As for reviewing it again, like all Wikipedia editors I am a volunteer here and chose to review articles exactly when and if I choose, and certainly not at the behest of a marketing department. For what little it may be worth, I would expend much more effort in reviewing an article by an editor who has shown wide range commitment across Wikipedia and hasn't just arrived to promote one particular company.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   11:31, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

I am editing wiki articles from last 4-5 years and I work for Intelligence Node. I have mentioned that on my talk page as well . However the information provided is completely verifiable and published in renowned sources. Is it mandatory that an editor who is not working in the organization should create a page . If that is the case so I would request editors to do that. I think the service it provides the work it does if fulfils the notability guidelines and deserves to have a wiki page as it is one of few organizations providing the service it provides.

Oh, and you might also like to confirm the username you were using for all this long history of editing. Your first edit with this user-name was on the 10 May 2021 with the creation of this contentious Draft article.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   16:40, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi, None of the reference is paid . Do you mean to say Economic times, Techcrunch, WWD which are leader in their segment will charge amount and promote companies like that. This is a very biased judgement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revionics , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceros . These companies have also added news references . How are they different then . Aren't they doing paid promotion? How are you so sure that these references are not paid. If wikipedia doesn't support news reference then why are they giving preference to add online news in the first place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TullikaInode1 (talk • contribs) 17:27, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Talgarth station

Hi I am RailwayJG and I couldn't help but notice you redirected the page Talgarth railway station to Talgarth. I wanted to let you know I have removed the revert and readded the station as the station is notable enough to stand on its own and all the info about it just clogs up the history page of the town. Plus it is not formal to just add it to the town if someone is researching the line and wants to find each station and they instead of having an article to locate the station. They end up needing to use google maps and town references to find it. I have readded it so please do not revert it. If you oppose it please put it on the talk page and not just remove it. All the articles are notable to stand alone and Talgarth station is no exception to this or different. Any issues please put on the talk page...regards RailwayJG (talk) 22:27, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Umm .... this was in 2019 when there was no evidence at all that "...someone was researching the line".  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   22:52, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

it doesn't matter if it was in 2019, I have readded it. It has enough clarity to stand alone as an article. As said if you object to this, please add to the talk page. Not remove is all i have asked...and there is evidence enough of it anyway...so that is all I am going to add. Any issues please add to the talk page. RailwayJG (talk) 23:10, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

• I pinged you, but in case you didn't notice... see Talk:Talgarth railway station. PamD 08:55, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Draft: Marvin

Thanks for reviewing my stub-like first draft. I’ve added a lot more material and references:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Marvin_(company)

My edits and small number of articles over the years have been on noncontroversial topics, so I haven’t created an anonymous username. Just wanted to mention that.

I love Wikipedia and use it a lot in my work as an editor!

I really was puzzled as to why there was no entry on this major employer in my native state of Minnesota. It gets mentioned regularly in the news. Bill (talk) 09:42, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

I saw in another post that you don’t revisit rejected articles. I’ll go to Teahouse perhaps and post there. Bill (talk) 09:51, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

New Page Review queue September 2021

Hello Velella,

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.

There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.

Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

Boiling point and boiling

You should take into account of the hydrostatic pressure if you want to have an exact meaning of the boiling. The bubbles are created in the liquid also, not only on the surface of the liquid.VPaarma (talk) 07:39, 21 November 2021 (UTC)VPaarma

Maybe so, but it still needs a robust reference to be used here.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   09:14, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

There is more information of the hydrostatic pressure on the Wikipedia (Hydrostatics/Hydrostatic pressure). This page could be used as a link for more exact definition of the boiling. The hydrostatic pressure becomes more important if the surrounding pressure decreases.VPaarma (talk) 13:05, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
