The NYT article is not in dispute. Although it is a review that mentions the Schultz. That would be the only viable mention. It's a vanity project. Please delete.

AFD

Hello Jimmy! Can you please give the page Mario Cerrito III a look. McGeddon has it proposed for deletion. Thanks!

Can we make a decision on Mario Cerrito III it's been on AFD since December 8.

No, an admin or an experienced editor who has not contributed to the discussion are only allowed to close and make the final decision. Only admins can delete pages as well as keep, etc,while Non Admin Closures are only allowed by trusted, experienced editors who can only keep, merge, redirect or relist. I have not closed any discussions because I have not been around long enough. Its quite common lately for discussions to go on for 3 weeks, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 03:37, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]


16:31:05, 19 October 2016 review of submission by Hightopdancer55


I am trying to get Micro Museum's page up on wikipedia as a part of our 30th anniversary and uncertain about the feedback below. I am confused, especially the first sentence. Can you clarify how I should be citing references? My question for example - I have listed a few names of people who were guest curators. How should I be citing them for approval? Are you looking for bio materials? their personal approval? I am not sure. The quotes and awards are documented but appear to need more citation. Can you clue me as to what exactly would be acceptable. Further.... would it be wise for me to remove unacceptable materials for help expedite this approval process?

"Everything in the article should be cited to references. At present there are large sections without references, all of the quotes and awards must each have a reference. Also, external links are not allowed in the text except within references. On the plus side the museum is notable and deserves an article." Hightopdancer55 (talk)

Fraud

    • Hi, WP:ORIGINAL RESEARCH is not allowed on wikipedia. If fraud is suspected it should be reported to the relevant authorities and then after it has been investigated and reported in reliable sources only then should it be included on Wikipedia. The edits I reverted were based on sources that did not specifically identify and accuse the individual but were a synthesis of original research which is not allowed. Also please see WP:3RR as you have been involved in an edit war and both parties can be blocked, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 23:57, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Fair enough. The Buzzfeed piece and the Bellingcat piece that were deleted make a clear case the person in question has a history of standing-up companies -- using Wikipedia and other avenues -- for fraud. As you know... I think the article in question should be deleted on notability grounds... protecting the public is a mere side-benefit... oh well... suum cuique. -pm 99.242.25.5 (talk) 00:12, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • I advise you to pursue WP:AFD by making the request at the AFD talk page. Having looked again at all the information I don't think there is absolute proof of fraud only strong allegations such as from one person regarding the books company., but there is a lack of notability so would vote delete. thanksAtlantic306 (talk) 01:06, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

James L Gelvin

I see that you reinserted a bunch of material into the James L. Gelvin article. First of all, it seems to me that none of it is notable and none of it is properly sourced (it all goes back to the professor's own CV). And, my impression from discussions on other academic's pages (for instance see this israeli professor's talk page) is that including resume items for their own sake doesn't fly. As I've made clear on the Gelvin page, I'm inclined to push for deletion due to the lack of notability. Steal the Kosher Bacon (talk) 16:21, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. Curious about a wiki policy for that. Because it came up elsewhere, and others were asserting quite forcefully to the contrary. I would love to be able to say something constructive there. Thanks! Steal the Kosher Bacon (talk) 16:27, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not to mention, it was poorly formatted. --Jennica / talk 05:21, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WARNING SECTION

This is a propaganda page obviously written by this small company in Canada. They work mainly through crowdfunding. They consistently repeat the same pattern: they take more orders than they can manage, they don't respect their announced delivery times, they start new campaigns while they are still glued in managing the previous one. Their tops are made of different materials and they are nice looking but they are very poor spinners. Such a page should not exist in Wikipedia. Most of the references do not satisfy the Wikipedia criteria. END WARNING SECTION

I don't understand why this warning has been repeatedly deleted by Atlantic306. It is a fact that almost all the references in this article are commercial material from the ForeverSpin company, taken from their website or their Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaigns. As for the content of the article, most of it is a copy of those references. As for what I say about the behaviour of this company, it can easily be verified from the same Kickstarter and Indiegogo references, section comments: almost all the comments are complaints about late deliveries (6 months), non-answered emails, packages that never arrived. Repeatedly qualifying such campaigns as "successful" is therefore a very subjective and debatable point of view.

2A01: What you claim about ForeverSpin's funding methods may well be true. If it is, and you can cite references to support your claim, you would be justified in adding referenced content to the article. But instead, you have been adding a boldface "warning" message, with no references, to the top of the article. Maproom (talk) 17:32, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Review - newsletter

Hello Atlantic306,
Breaking the back of the backlog
We now have 805 New Page Reviewers! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog. Now it's time for action.
Mid July to 01 Oct 2016

If each reviewer does only 10 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
Let's get that over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.

Second set of eyes

Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.

Getting the tools we need - 2016 WMF Wishlist Survey: Please vote

With some tweaks to their look, and some additional features, Page Curation and New Pages Feed could easily be the best tools for patrollers and reviewers. We've listed most of what what we need at the 2016 WMF Wishlist Survey. Voting starts on 28 November - please turn out to make our bid the Foundation's top priority. Please help also by improving or commenting on our Wishlist entry at the Community Wishlist Survey. Many other important user suggestions are listed at at Page Curation.

Notice for Hinterschllenberg page deletion request

Hey Atlantic306, I noticed that you recently removed my deletion request on the page Hinterschellenberg a small village in Liechtenstein. You did add a comment with your edit, but I didn't understand it. Could you please clarify what you meant (I left a short note on its talk page). I listed as the reason that Hinterschellenberg wasn't an exclusive hamlet, as its population is quite small and isn't recognized as a village – such as Steg, Lawena, Mauren, Nendeln, Bendern, and Ebenholz – by the Liechtenstein government or reputable mapmakers like Collins or Dorling Kindersley. If the page is indeed retained, it should definitely be completely refurbished, updated, refined, and enlarged. And we would have to find editors with the time to create and perfect more than 100 different towns or settlements in order to meet the standards, guidelines, and requirements that Wikipedia has set in terms of notability. Since it's the main reason for proposing the deletion, I would think that it's far more logical that an admittedly unimportant hamlet like Hinterschellenberg not receive a Wikipedia page, at the expense of many more well-known and suitable subjects, especially in other parts of the world where population density is low. If you wouldn't mind, I would at least prefer if we could open a discussion in the area so that more editors – if anyone would like to contribute – could talk about this topic more openly. Thanks for your help and assistance. 198.84.229.179 (talk) 03:39, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Former cast members should not be removed"

Re: this, thaaaaaaaank you. I've been battling with the entire nation of India over this very frickin' thing. Unbelievable. It's part of something I've been calling the "Campaign of Ignorance". Without making you read the entire thing, just a lot of bizarre editing choices that seem to revolve around keeping the reader as ignorant and confused as possible. Removing cast names, removing character descriptions, using slashes between multiple character names and using a series of terse parentheticals instead of clear prose... Stuff like:

Jane Doe as Judy Smith/Baklava/Judy Parikh (fake name) (2015-2016)(Dead)(Second parallel female Antagonist)

When a source may not be needed

Hi. Just a heads up before you move/delete articles that lack sources. As per WP:FACTS, especially concerning articles that describe the plots of books, films and other artistic works - the inclusion of sources is not always necessary. It should be obvious to potential readers that the subject of the article is the source of the information. Happy Holidays and thanks for your hard work.

Micro Museum

Let's not get into an edit war on this. The Micro Museum article is very much improved with my edits. Your revert resotred a staggering amount (literally dozens) of bad sources. The sources are self-published, or extremely dubious. There is no source in the NYTimes as you suggest-- there was a Times article that mentioned one of the founders. See WP:RS, the sources need to be relaibale, almost two dozen self-published sources are not what you call reliable! Other bad sources that I removed include several personal CV's used as sources.

On an additional note, please do not tell me not to edit the article, as it is an example of WP:OWN. Everyone is welcome to edit Wikipedia. I am an experienced editor, who just happens to prefer being an IP editor. My router resets periodically, which is why I have a new IP. I am very aware of policies and know a good article when I see one. I am happy to work together.104.163.143.107 (talk) 18:31, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The request not to edit was due to suspicion of COI, but if you are an experienced editor I apologise. However, I disagree with your edits as they removed too much comment so will restore the previous version. As we do not agree perhaps a RFC is needed, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 18:47, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Micro Museum

Micro Museum closed sometime last year. See the talk page of the draft for references on that.

I am afraid you have fallen for a hoax, to some degree. I did a little research and came up with two incontrovertible sources that show that it simply does not exist anymore. 1: the NY times says it is so, and 2. A major retail chain is operating at that location. At minimum we are talking about past tense. The likely situation is that someone affiliated with the museum is trying to lay down a legacy by creating an article. Unfortunately is is non-notable.

I would like to ask that you stop reverting my good edits to that page. Should you continue, I will have to take such silliness to RFAI. My edits are perfectly good. yours are knee-jerk and destructive in this case of this article. 104.163.152.80 (talk) 05:25, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
