All due respect, you could be more courteous in your edit summaries. Prezbo (talk) 03:19, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

James Gordon Meek

I'm surprised an experienced editor like you backs up an IP vandal by deleting the content that makes him notable. Find better sources? Go for it, but don't remove what all RS say about him. I'm off to bed. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:57, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

@Valjean:. None of the sources are reliable. Rolling Stone culture issues and Raw Story are both red at WP:RSPS. Sleep well. --Animalparty! (talk) 04:01, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Toy Reid

I just created a draft for Draft:Toy Reid. He is central to a major news story that has just come out. I assume there will be more about him as the days go on. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Thriley (talk) 06:39, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Re: BLP noticeboard

We clearly can't risk portraying Democrats in a bad light. This is Wikipedia! We must maintain a unified narrative that always frames the actions of the left as morally superior to those on the right.

I know you were joking in your own way, but your POV interests me in several different ways. I’ve spent the last seven years discussing these and other ideas with conservatives off wiki to try and understand them. I admit, I haven’t made much progress. If you would like to continue this discussion either here or on my talk page, feel free. I’m particularly interested in your conception of moral superiority, which I feel you are projecting on to others. Viriditas (talk) 08:30, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Hillpost

Thanks for your detailed comment at this discussion. The vast majority of editors who encourage a "merge" in AFDs don't offer any detail on what or how much should be merged in. When people take the time to enter their thoughts in some detail, it makes a quality merge much easier. Joyous! | Talk 04:43, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

HB Brown

It is not trivia. It very directly reflects on his reputation. Knockanar (talk) 20:53, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

@Knockanar: Welcome to Wikipedia. "Perhaps the public nadir of Brown's legacy.... "? Did you write this? It sounds incredibly like the personal musings of a Wikipedian (i.e. original research), and in any case appears plucked out of a primary transcript, suggesting it's given undue weight. We don't include facts merely because they are true or interesting or useful, per WP:NOTEVERYTHING and WP:PROPORTION. We summarize what secondary sources have published giving aspects proportional coverage to their prominence in the published literature. And we don't editorialize facts with words like "Perhaps" or "interestingly, or "it should be noted". Other problems with he article include the "Absence of memorials" section: "there are no known statues, named schools or buildings or institutions, or any other memorials to Brown. There has been no book-length biography published about him." This uncited statement may be true, but unless scholars have commented on it, it is WP:OR. --Animalparty! (talk) 21:13, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

OK thanks for your explanation; your reasoning makes sense. Thanks for catching it. Best regards, Knockanar (talk) 15:04, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Would appreciate your judgment

Hi Animalparty!, since you kindly took the time to review my suggestion on Talk:Paul McKenna, another editor has since deleted a sentence according with BLPPRIMARY. The remaining text is now inaccurate. If you have a moment could you please take a look at what I've suggested to fix this without reintroducing the source in question? I'm happy to add it myself but would appreciate a neutral opinion. Memereese (talk) 12:56, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi again, just messaging to say that this seems to have reached a conclusion, but it took a wildly different approach than the one you did when you responded. If you have a moment to review the final article and see if the assessment is fair I would appreciate it. Memereese (talk) 15:32, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

CfD for Category:Blue plaques

Per your rationale for Category:Pennsylvania state historical marker significations (which I just closed as delete), do you think the blue plaques category should be similarly deleted? It seems to have the same problem. — Qwerfjkl talk 19:29, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

New Page Patrol – May 2023 Backlog Drive

New Page Patrol \| May 2023 Backlog Drive
On 1 May, a one-month backlog drive for New Page Patrol will begin. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of redirects patrolled and for maintaining a streak throughout the drive. Article patrolling is not part of the drive. Sign up here! There is a possibility that the drive may not run if there are <20 registered participants. Participants will be notified if this is the case.

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023

Hello Animalparty,

Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.

Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

New pages patrol needs your help!

Hello Animalparty,

The New Page Patrol team is sending you this impromptu message to inform you of a steeply rising backlog of articles needing review. If you have any extra time to spare, please consider reviewing one or two articles each day to help lower the backlog. You can start reviewing by visiting Special:NewPagesFeed. Thank you very much for your help.

New pages patrol newsletter

Hello Animalparty,

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

November Articles for creation backlog drive

Hello Animalparty:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 1700 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:23, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Trolling at noticeboards

Hi, Animalparty. I warned you back in February about certain bludgeoning behaviors at WP:FTN, asking you to stop before you were blocked. You apologized that time, sort of, though not really (the mocking word "seriousity" giving the game away), and your renewed fun with Doug Weller in August shows you still feel entitled to troll both him and FTN. That kind of uncollegial behavior is very bad for a supposedly collaborative project. When I saw this recent attack of yours at WP:BLPN, and especially this modification of it, it made me consider blocking you from some noticeboards, but I thought I'd give you a chance to explain first. You obviously take pride in your wit. What exactly was the humorous point of this edit? It looked like you were inserting a gay lisp. Bishonen | tålk 23:57, 31 October 2023 (UTC).

@Bishonen: At the time of writing I thought it nothing more than a humorous portmanteau of "thumper" and "spoken", but I'm no Lenny Bruce. Nothing else at all intended by that, gay, straight, or otherwise. Sure I'm sometimes perhaps a bit too blunt with FTN regulars who at times I consider to be heavy-handed, paranoid, paternalistic, and/or averse to self-reflection or entertaining their own potential for biases. But please note that not all criticism or unenjoyed comments are "attacks", though if one looks hard enough they may find offense conceivably anywhere. Cheers, --Animalparty! (talk) 01:09, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Is that the best you can do? You're saying that at first you dismissed those with a different opinion by posting "Too late, the most fervent chest-thumpers have spoken"? And then you thought "Hang on, that's missing something; let me just reinforce it by adding a pointless 'portmanteau'"? I don't believe you, you know, because it doesn't make sense. I believe the lisp was inserted to offend and mortify Generalrelative, the OP of the subthread you were posting in and the only adversary of yours there. Since you have previous form for and have been warned against trolling and belittling your adversaries, you have been blocked from Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard and Wikipedia:Fringe theories/Noticeboard for three months. Note that you are free to edit the rest of Wikipedia, including WT:BLPN and WT:FTN, though if you were to troll or bludgeon those pages, I will extend the block. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Bishonen | tålk 10:25, 1 November 2023 (UTC).

@Bishonen: I'm not going to appeal my block, it's probably deserved, but yes, my honest answer is "the best I can do." Because it's the truth, your disbelief notwithstanding. You want me to make up a sob story? You don't know what goes on in my head, just as I don't know what goes on in yours (you probably won't believe this either, but at the time I thought to myself "well, 'thumping' isn't technically 'speaking' so..."). Not everything on earth needs to "make sense", especially a silly, poorly received play on words. It is quite noble of you to leap in to defend Generalrelative from the 'offense' and 'mortification' you apparently perceived on their behalf. And if you made some connection from my comment to their pronoun/gender declaration on their userpage, well you also probably won't believe that I have no recollection of ever viewing their userpage until just now. And that user was not the only "adversary" in that discussion. I can't control what you believe. Block me for being snide, sure. But please don't turn a silly senseless turn of phrase into something more sinister. All the best. --Animalparty! (talk) 03:40, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

RSN

Hi AnimalParty. No source has been downgraded because "aren't those the wrong views". Sources have been graded on their reliability, and left wing sources have been downgraded as well (The Canary and Counter Punch for instance). US politic sources are not great in general, not one side definitely has the worst. This isn't a problem that's solvable on Wikipedia. That specific NewsNation thread is likely going nowhere but to be forgotten in the archive.
Also just as an aside neither mediabias or allsides are very useful in discussions, there's threads in the RSN archives for more details, but in general they're not considered very reliable themselves. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 22:07, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Animalparty,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Nomination of Accesswire for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Accesswire is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Accesswire until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Bibliography section for Sean M. Kirkpatrick

Hi, sorry if that was not appropriate there, I know other articles on academics include some of their work. He only seemed to have about half again or so (when I looked) publications as lead author so it seemed to be sensible to put in at least his works where he was principle. My edit and yours. Is any of that OK? I don't mind having done the work, and am just curious if there's any use for it anywhere since I'd already assembled it. Thanks! -- Very Polite Person (talk) 16:42, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

@Very Polite Person: In short, Wikipedia biographical articles on academics should never resemble CVs, faculty web pages, or "about the author" pages: the purpose of those is to promote and showcase the subject. Wikipedia biographies are not meant to be showcases (see WP:NOPROMO, WP:NPOV). See also WP:NOTEVERYTHING: we don't include facts or data merely because it's true and verifiable, or because it might be of interest to a small group of people. We can include external links to official web pages or Google Scholar profiles for complete bibliographies. Particularly significant studies, discoveries, or papers might warrant mention in the prose, and a short list of books or major publications might be listed, so long as it's not excessive. In truth, many Wikipedia articles on academics are poorly written, imbalanced, and/or promotional (e.g. written by grad students or followers of otherwise obscure academics). But the existence of CV-like showcase articles is not justification for creating more. Cheers, --Animalparty! (talk) 22:22, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Iggy pop goes the weasel. I noticed that your edit summary on the page Template:Pseudoscience didn't seem very civil.
