Unlocking Bart Baker for creation

The article name, Bart Baker, is currently locked from creation. I have a brand new article for it and wish to move it to the main space. Unfortunately, because of this, I can't, so may you please unblock it for me? Thanks! By the way, my article is in my sandbox, User:FiendYT/sandbox. FiendYT 07:03, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi @FiendYT: Articles for Bart Baker have been deleted many times, including twice at AfD (1, 2), so I can't simply circumvent consensus. Click on this red link for Bart Baker for a summary of article deletions that have occurred.

I recommend that you submit this to Articles for creation, where your submission can be reviewed. An easy way to do this is to place {{Userspace draft}} atop the draft page and then select the "Submit your draft for review" link. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 17:59, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Deletion nom for All Growz Up

Hello - I saw you re-relisted this AfD discussion as named above. At what point does the debate close? Dkendr (talk) 15:34, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

• Hi Dkendr Deletion discussions are typically closed seven days after being listed or relisted. However, if several people were to !vote and a consensus forms, relisted discussions can then be closed early, as per WP:RELIST. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 15:37, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Meat stall painting

This sign reads in Flemish as: "behind here are 154 rods of land for sale immediately, either by the rod according to your convenience or all at once."

I noticed your post regarding this FP on Haffy's talk.

I asked Hafs about the sign, and he sent the explanation at left:

(The unit of area probably should be translated as rood, not rod.)

I don't see how this could be interpreted as "a warning to society at that time." Sca (talk) 15:38, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

• Hi Sca: I based the wording in A Meat Stall with the Holy Family Giving Alms on what the source (listed below) from The Burlington Magazine states. The notion above about the term rood being meant could very well be the case, whereby a typo exists in the source. We typically need to go with what reliable sources state, though. Regarding the "warning to society" matter, information about this is in the source. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 15:49, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

– Source: Houghton, Charlotte M. (March 2001). "A Topical Reference to Urban Controversy in Pieter Aertsen's 'Meat Stall'" (PDF). Vol. 143, No. 1176. The Burlington Magazine. pp. 158–160. {{cite web}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help) (subscription required)

Whether it makes sense of not? Sca (talk) 16:01, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

The content at the source is rather coherent to me. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 16:03, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

It seems to me that the content of the painting, specifically the meaning of the sign, is the original 'source.' Houghton, the RS cited, is debatable at best. I suggest that bit be left out. Sca (talk) 16:07, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

@Sca: I suggest for you to post at the article's talk page regarding your view. Doing so can help to receive additional user input. I may not have time to address this matter right away. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 16:13, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Done, to a limited extent. Upon reconsideration, I'm backing off on my questioning of Houghton, for now anyway. Sca (talk) 16:44, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

About Plz/TaylorMoore2

Northamerica1000, just so you know: TaylorMoore2 was Plz's original account name, before it was renamed to Plz on January 9, two days prior to its block. While renaming changes the entire editing history to reflect the new name, places where the name is hardcoded, such as in a DYK nomination, don't change. So it's possible for the "created by" credit (and DYKmake, for that matter) to reflect the old name while the article history shows the new name. TaylorMoore2 actually did edit the article.

In this case, since Plz has been blocked for sockpuppeting, I do support your closure of DLOW. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:24, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi BlueMoonset I have modified the rationale at Template:Did you know nominations/DLOW. One thing though, is that moving user pages typically does not rename the user, it only moves the page. It's unclear if the user requested a name change, such as at Global user account rename request. The User talk:TaylorMoore2 talk page was moved by Steinsplitter (see Revision history), and the page User:TaylorMoore2 was never created. At this point, it seems acceptable for the nomination to be declined due to socking. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:32, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Quirky

The quirky slot is the last hook in a set. It leaves the reader on an up note. See N9. Yoninah (talk) 14:26, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

@Yoninah: There it is. Thanks for the info. Cheers, North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 14:28, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Belgian waffles cooked in a Krampouz cast-iron waffle iron

• @Davey2010: Never had waffles, are you BS'ing me? Well, the way to go is with Belgian waffles, imo. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 16:05, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

• They're not really a big thing in the UK and to be honest I've never thought about it, They look rather delicious tho, When I'm next shopping I'll get some –Davey2010^Talk 16:14, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

• @Davey2010: Precooked frozen waffles are an easy way to go about it. If you can get it there, be sure to use real Maple syrup, and don't forget the butter! North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 16:19, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

DYK nomination

Hi, I had gone through the comments on the my nomination's entry page but since they were very confusing, it was no longer pursued by me. I assume this DYK nomination can only be appreciated who understand cricket. Thanks and regardsSarvagyana guru (talk) 17:37, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

@Sarvagyana guru: I'm sorry that the review process isn't working out. If you'd like, you can post a note there withdrawing the nomination, which would help to clear up the backlog on the page. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 02:14, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Completely False Article Frederick Achom

Hello,

I would like to draw your attention to this wikipedia article Frederick Achom, at first look it looks like a good article, but it hides most of the real information. If you see article's history you will see that it has been under several editing wars. Almost all claims made in the article are supported in the article are made using own links or PR releases. Also the links which seem genuine like London's 1000 most influential people 2010: Night OwlsLondon's 1000 most influential people 2011: Night Owls have many things wrong in them- they claim to be 1000 but not more than 6 are present; they have no author. They are off the website but somehow have crept into the website. There are many such cases in this wiki article.

Frederick Achom is using his wiki article to show potential investors how great he is by supplying all false information and duping them of money. He has been previously convicted and jailed which was earlier in the article but now has somehow disappeared. [1] [2]

[3] [4]

I hope you will understand the gravity of the situation and help in rectifying by either getting the page deleted or corrected.

Thank You. NihartouJason (talk) 04:31, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
