User talk:Alessandra Napolitano

Welcome!

Hello, Alessandra Napolitano, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you start editing:

We're here to build an encyclopedia, but you probably knew that already. Still, it's important.
Be nice to other users. It's a lot easier to get along people when you're nice and when they're nice.
Don't worry too much about the rules. The only things that will get you immediately blocked from editing are clearly disruptive, so go, be bold, make changes, and have a blast.
You'll probably see other users using jargon like WP:CIVIL or WP:V (sometimes without the WP: at the beginning). If you want to know what these are, type them into the search bar at the top of every page and hit enter.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. Please remember to sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this way we know who says what, and when, in discussions. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome! lifebaka++ 05:32, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong section at Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not

Hi. I think you put this edit in the wrong section of Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not, or you thought that the section "Wikipedia is not a democracy" is part of the section above it, which it isn't. Perhaps you would like to move or delete that edit? Regards, --Bob K31416 (talk) 21:02, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The comment is relevant to the "not a democracy" section. Exactly what sort of non-voting, undemocratic consensus can be determined from 425,198 bytes of discussion? Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 22:52, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

inre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prosper Masquelier

I've been working on the article for Prosper Masquelier, fixing someone's poor trans-wiki of the article from fr.Wikipedia, adding proper reliable sources, correcting errors created by the mis-translation to English, removing hyperbole, and making the whole thing properly encyclopedic per OUR manual of style.[1] More to do, as I found far more sources than seemed the nominator here. God love the French, but they use a skewed set of guidelines and policies... similar to, but not quite the same as, ours... and per OUR policies and guidelines, I think the GNG is met. More to do and I'll keep working on it. Best, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 03:25, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to keep. Thanks for informing me about this. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 06:35, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Searching through fr.Wikipedia was a surreal experience. Your writing "massively different notability criteria" is an understatement. Our standards might be confusing for newcomers and sometimes seem as over-complicated, but they work. Their's are simply bizarre. :) Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 09:22, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion/William S. Dalton

Hello,

Could you please take another look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William S. Dalton. I've responded to the copyright concern. Thank you. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:50, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alessandra

Would you mind giving me a concise statement of what you think is the problem (we can discuss the solution later) is with our curation of controversial images here? --Anthonyhcole (talk) 10:17, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

inre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maisie Williams

I understand where you're coming from, but what we have here is coverage for a singular event... her participation Game of Thrones. Despite her push at the GNG, until she has another notable role she fails WP:ENT. And as her sourcability is for just the one thing, this becomes a WP:BLP1E. I think a merge is the solution.
