Hi, I received an alert that you had made recommendations regarding improvements to the Jack Malloch article, but can find no such recommendations anywhere. Not that it matters; I am no longer involved on WP, I just came back here to tidy up before leaving for good. FYI, (assuming you added the citations template, which I didn't check), there seems to be little or no information about the man anywhere on the internet. The best single resource is the one already fully cited - the jackmalloch.com site. There is also apparently a book which has been published and is nominally available through the site, but messages to the administrators go unanswered. By all means, if you want to go ahead and make further changes to the article, be my guest. Edits to the content of this site (i.e., Wikipedia) are no longer my concern. I'm done here. Good luck. |

Adding stub tag
Please do not add a {{stub}} tag to an article if a specific stub tag {{xxx-stub}} is already there on it. SD0001 (talk) 19:46, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
- Ah, OK, thanks. Nsk92 (talk) 19:47, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
I'm working on it. There's a bunch of press from the past few months. Victor Grigas (talk) 19:50, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
- OK, I see. It is just a PROD tag and you can remove it yourself, preferably after adding extra references. In general, with articles like this one, it is better to develop them first in your sandbox before posting to mainspace. Nsk92 (talk) 19:55, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
Degenerate Higher-Order Scalar-Tensor theories
Hi, you tagged Degenerate Higher-Order Scalar-Tensor theories as too incomprehensible and technical. Was there anything in particular you thought could be improved or was it just the whole article? Bellowhead678 (talk) 22:27, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
- Let me put it this way. I am a professional PhD holding mathematician and even I could not really understand what the article is about or what is happening there. The lede in particular needs to be written in a way that at least somebody with a college bachelor degree in science can roughly understand what the article is about. In fact, since you are even asking this question here, you should aim for a beginning undergraduate student in physics or math as your audience. Use more hyperlinks to other relevant articles where readers can look up relevant terms. The main body of the article, the Action section, currently consists of a bunch of formulas, with almost no explanation of what they mean and in which context they arise. Preferably add a few sentences explaining in which context DHOST theories arise, how they are used, and where and by whom they were introduced. Nsk92 (talk) 22:40, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
A couple of things.
1- Two of the books are available at Amazon if you have a kindle. Yes you have to buy them but Amazon has a very lenient return policy. You can get a refund for 21 days.
2- @MilborneOne: editor and administrator MilborneOne added details[1] to Westman's article. Which makes me think, MO has a source and that Westman may exist. I've pinged him....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 22:38, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
- This discussion properly belongs at the AfD page itself. If you raise these points there, I'll respond there. Thanks, Nsk92 (talk) 22:49, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
Arnaud Cochet
Hi ! I was wondering why did you put a third party tag to Arnaud Cochet ? All the sources are official decrees published by the French government to notify the public that some position have been filled... The tag doesn't belong there
CocoricoPolynesien (talk) 06:07, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
I reread the tag : the source is official, you will not find better because this is there that France publishes its laws since 1869. It is not self published and the most reliable source you will ever find as it is the document that makes authority !
CocoricoPolynesien (talk) 06:25, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
- I probably should have used a different tag when doing NPP on this article. The point is that official government decrees about his appointments, while official and reliable, are primary sources. Wikipedia articles, per WP:NOR#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources policy, are supposed to be based mainly on secondary sources, see WP:PSTS for details. The article needs to include some secondary sources, such as newspaper articles about Arnaud Cochet. I'll replace the tag with the correct one. Nsk92 (talk) 09:45, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
- Oooh, okay ! I'll try to find some articles then ! Good day ! CocoricoPolynesien (talk) 09:57, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
Tags on Eldren Bailey
Hello! You tagged this article for linkrot and as an orphan. Both tags are incorrect: it has no bare URLS in sources and is not an orphan. I've removed the tags. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 19:08, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
- References number 8 and 10 in the article are bare URLs, so they still need to be fixed. You are correct that the article is not an orphan. I somehow missed the List of outsider artists in the What links here link. Nsk92 (talk) 19:15, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
- I have fixed refs 8 and 10 now. Nsk92 (talk) 19:21, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks. You might be speeding through these page patrols too quickly; I was able to fix several pages that you tagged, with about as many clicks as it took to tag them. I also found and fixed one or to others that were incorrectly tagged. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 19:26, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
- I have fixed refs 8 and 10 now. Nsk92 (talk) 19:21, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
RE: Proposed deletion of Martino Lupini
The proposed deletion is based on an arbitrary interpretation of a Wikipedia criterion. Therefore I strongly object this deletion prpopsal.--Justi Rino (talk) 01:39, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
- That is, of course, your prerogative. I'll list the article for an AfD for an in-depth deletion discussion. Nsk92 (talk) 01:42, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
I know that it's been awhile since you approved the article, but that doesn't make it any less appreciated from me. I just wanted to express thanks for reviewing my article and the articles of others in New Pages Patrol, especially since there's a backlog. Clovermoss (talk) 06:14, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, sure, you are welcome. Nsk92 (talk) 09:20, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for August 25
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Aleksandra Miroslaw, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wujiang (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 07:53, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for adding Thomas S. K. Chang Merit Award to his page
Can we create a REDIRECT page Thomas S. K. Chang Merit Award to his page for if someone create these AWARD RECIPIENTS's page? --Htmlzycq (talk) 05:01, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, sure, if you like you can go ahead and create a redirect. I am not sure, though, if such a redirect would really be helpful. The phrase "Thomas S. K. Chang Merit Award" is pretty long and it beings with "Thomas S. K. Chang". So when somebody types this phrase in a search window, the WP auto-suggest feature will already point them to the Thomas S. K. Chang page before they get to typing the "Merit" part. Nsk92 (talk) 11:35, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
- However, I did add diasambiguation notices to Thomas S. K. Chang and Thomas Chang articles. Nsk92 (talk) 11:42, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
Incomplete DYK nomination
Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Roman Polianskyi at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; if you would like to continue, please link the nomination to the nominations page as described in step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 11:14, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
Please see note on your DYK review.
In addition to checking that the five main DYK criteria have been met, you should also read the article and note if the grammar is lacking. We have contributors from all over the world, and not everyone knows English grammar. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:57, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi, you do not have to go back and fix the tick on your review. Any new icons, such as my "no" tick, supersedes the old ones and no one will promote it until an approval tick is at the bottom of the review. I tried to revert your edit, but messed up the template. Could you restore your original tick and date stamp? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:18, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- OK, I'll try. I was worried that if one of my original ticks remains, the DYK bot will interpret it as "approved" and will sweep the nomination again to the approved noms page. Nsk92 (talk) 20:20, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks. No, the bot won't move it until there's an approval tick at the end. And we can always move it back manually. Yoninah (talk) 20:27, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- Ah, OK, very good, thanks. Nsk92 (talk) 20:28, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
