AFC Backlog

Articles for Creation urgently needs YOUR help!

Articles for Creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 1851 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our Help Desk.

Do you have what it takes?

Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines?
Do you know what Wikipedia is and is not?
Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions?
Are you autoconfirmed?
Can you review submissions based on their individual merits?

If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions.

PS: we have a great AFC helper script at User:Timotheus Canens/afchelper4.js which helps in reviewing in just few edits easily!

We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 2 or 3 reviews, it would be extremely beneficial.
On behalf of the Articles for Creation project,
TheSpecialUser ^TSU

Speedy deletion declined: Wikipedia:Don't Vandalize!

Hello Jeff G.. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Wikipedia:Don't Vandalize!, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: R2 only applies to redirects from mainspace. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 02:50, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jeff G.. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Wikipedia:Don't add sewage to the already polluted pond, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: R2 only applies to redirects from mainspace.

Sorry about that. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 02:52, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: National Register of Historic Places listings in Pinellas County, Florida

Dear Mr. Jeff G,

You may have forgotten about st. Pete high on that page, St. pete high is one of the fist schools in the area. We've been around since 1898! Our first graduating class was in 1929. Please review your topic and post back to me. I am sorry that i have made a note of this on your actual page. Just review what i have said and fix your list. Thanks, Me — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.127.44.107 (talk) 02:30, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose you have verifiable reliable sources to back your claim. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 02:33, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It was already there, under the name it was registered as, Central High School. I added that in the description section of the listing. Cheers! --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - State of the Union ‖ 02:38, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 02:52, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a ref for you: ""Urban Design & Historic Preservation Division: Local Historic Landmarks - St. Petersburg Central High School". City of St. Petersburg. Archived from the original on 2007-11-11. Retrieved 2012-09-12." — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 02:52, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OHHHHH. Alrighty then. Sorry for the confusion. But in the future, can you maybe A.K.A. it or something? If It's too much trouble dont worry about it. 70.127.44.107 (talk) 02:41, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Southern Poverty Law Center

The Southern Poverty LAw Center is an Anti-White organization who is focused on the destruction of whites.

What I corrected is only vandalism if you are an anti-white. Everyone who isn't anti-white knows exactly who the SPLC is — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.101.243.132 (talk) 02:34, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They are only anti-bigot. The mistakes your edits have made are in assuming that all whites are bigots (which offends me as a white non-bigot) and in attempting to force your view on Wikipedia's readership without verifiable reliable sources, after being told not to, repeatedly. Who told you "who the SPLC is"? Which group are you in? I hope you use the duration of your block to think about what you have done. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 03:06, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

JeffGBot considered harmful

Do NOT bring the bot back without changing the boilerplate it uses. Please! IMO, you MUST NOT advise people to remove dead links simply because they're dead, as you/is have done here and in hundreds of other cases. It's better if the bot check and/or users are advised to check WebCite and the IA, as I see is discussed here. HOWEVER, it is STILL a BAD idea. Often, the URL alone is enough to find the writing a dead link refers to, even if it's not at either of those archives. I've done it many times. E.g. when the URL contains enough of the title of a news article that the news article can be found by a search (non-web searches may be necessary, but often aren't) for that title or a slight tweak to the URL. DO NOT reactivate a bot that advises deletion of dead links simply because they've died.--Elvey (talk) 00:28, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Would you care to suggest better language? — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 23:04, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Link_rot says: "Except for URLs in the External links section that have not been used to support any article content, do not delete a URL solely because the URL does not work any longer. Recovery and repair options and tools are available." It also offers lots of related advice that suggests better language. However, fixing/reviving the long-dormant bot that archived Wikipedia article citation URLs using WebCite or the IA (see http://faq.web.archive.org/can-i-get-just-one-page-archived/ - good news) could be a better use of resources such as your skills than improving JeffGBot. :-) --Elvey (talk) 08:46, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that language. Which bot did you refer to? — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 15:20, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your SpamCop Edit 14:54, 14 September 2012

Hi, Jeff! ...Thank you for fixing the link to the SpamCop Forum entry regarding Julian's departure! ...Did you notice that SpamCop.com is already referenced in the Wikipedia entry "Fake similar organizations?" Turetzsr (talk) 19:34, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Steve. I plan to look into the domain ownerships and timings, hopefully later today. IIRC Julian let the .com registration lapse and one or more miscreants took it. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 23:01, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, Jeff, I mentioned the other reference because it appears to me that your latest edit mentioning spamcop.com near the top of the article may be somewhat redundant. I would recommend consideration of merging the two separate references. :) SteveT (talk) 04:31, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, those plans, which included reducing the redundancy, fell through yesterday. I hope to get to them today. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 15:22, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to Tom Stevens (politician)

You reverted changes that I made because I didn't leave a reason (I've never had a problem not leaving a reason for any other edit I've made to a page). The reason was because it says, "...and was that party's nominee for President in the 2008 and 2012 United States Presidential elections. He is the party's presidential nominee in the 2012 election as well..." As you can see, the second sentence is extraneous since it says that he is the party's nominee for the 2008 and 2012 elections, and the 2012 election as well. Therefore, I cut out the sentence, leaving the sources with the previous sentence which contained the same information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.138.206.198 (talk) 18:01, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 18:23, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Living Things (Linkin Park album)

You undid my edit which i forgot to prove with a source. As you can see at the given source, it's all true. Burn It Down peaked at #6 and Lost in the Echo peaked at #97 in the Ultratip Chart which is the Bubbling Under Chart of Ultratop 50 Chart. --Gbuvn (talk) 16:14, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 17:58, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WHAT KIND OF SOURCES DO U WANT?AND HOW TO UPDATE THE SOURCES — Preceding unsigned comment added by Syedghazi6 (talk • contribs) 17:52, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Curly Wurly sources and basic literacy

Take a look at the sources for the article Curly Wurly. It shouldn't take long, as most of the article does not have any. If you are feeling adventurous, and you have the literacy skills for it, you could even try reading the replies to your two entries on my talk page. You are most welcome to delete most of the article in question, or does the policy of verifiability only apply some of the time?FrantShiftSoap (talk) 19:05, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
