New Page Review - Newsletter No.4

Hello RileyBugz,

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 815 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!

But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

Stay up to date with recent new page developments and have your say, read THIS PAGE.

Speedy Deletion of Test Page For Learning

I would like to know why the page Test Page For Learning was put up for "Speedy Deletion". The page was created for learning and informing people of the amazing things Wikipedia can do.

Maybe so, but it is not something that should be put in the mainspace, where we put all of the articles. Since this is not an article, then it does not belong in the mainspace. RileyBugz^会話_投稿記録 02:08, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how to get it of of the "mainspace" if there is a way can you do it or teach me how. Gidman2003 talk|Gidman2003

I will do it for you. You can find it here. If you want to move pages in the future, you can click on the "more" button at the top of the page and then "move". After that, you just have to choose what mainspace you want it in, and then the name of the page. RileyBugz^会話_投稿記録 02:15, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Page Mover

If you are a fairly consistent NPP reviewer, you may want to apply for page mover rights at WP:PERM, since this allows you to suppress redirects when moving pages, and is particularly useful when moving pages across namespaces (like articles that need work to an AfC draft, or inappropriate/test articles to user space). That way you don't have to request an XNR deletion afterward. TimothyJosephWood 16:20, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@TimothyJosephWood: Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I will hold off for a while. I feel that I do not have enough experience yet, so I would likely make some mistakes. RileyBugz^会話_投稿記録 16:24, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Timothyjosephwood: (repinging after failed ping) RileyBugz^会話_投稿記録 16:25, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... well, you've got twice as many required edits, a few months more than the required time, and more than fifty pages moved. Usually the biggest thing you can screw up in good faith is suppressing a redirect when you shouldn't have, and if you do, you can always go back and manually add it back in. Anyway, it's a mistake you can fix yourself without having to bother an admin. So, I'd definitely keep it in mind. TimothyJosephWood 17:03, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Timothyjosephwood: Huh, that is a lot more than I thought I had. Well, after a bit more experience, I will likely apply. RileyBugz^会話_投稿記録 17:06, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) I'm going to second TJW here. It'd be really helpful to you, and the fact that you are weary about it shows why you'd be good with it: page mover is one of the rights that should be used conservatively, and you clearly already know that. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:09, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Timothyjosephwood: Well, I mentioned it on IRC and I magically got granted it... it is interesting how these things work. RileyBugz^会話_投稿記録 19:41, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Carnaby's black cockatoo scheduled for TFA

This is to let you know that the Carnaby's black cockatoo article has been scheduled as today's featured article for 8 June 2017. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 8, 2017. Thanks!

Loons

Sorry I've been out of touch — I thought I was going to have more time during this break. (ha ha) I'm actually off again on June 1, but will try to kick in where I can. Of course, my library will be here while I'm there, but I'll only be away for about 3 weeks this time. Let me know what I can do to help! MeegsC (talk) 21:06, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@MeegsC: That's fine. It would be nice if you could try and remove the misc. section and do some clean-up, which will make it much easier to do expansion. Referencing things not referenced is the top priority in my opinion. RileyBugz^会話_投稿記録 23:08, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

David Wilson (defensive back)

FYI, I removed the BLPPROD since links to his official NFL player profile is a reference under that policy. Also I am the worst at sports, but at first glance he appears to be a technical pass of WP:NGRIDIRON based on this, but I could also easily be misunderstanding what the NFL game log means. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:45, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. He is in fact notable based on policy. RileyBugz^会話_投稿記録 23:04, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – June 2017

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2017).

Administrator changes

Doug Bell • Dennis Brown • Clpo13 • ONUnicorn

ThaddeusB • Yandman • Bjarki S • OldakQuill • Shyam • Jondel • Worm That Turned

Guideline and policy news

An RfC proposing an off-wiki LTA database has been closed. The proposal was broadly supported, with further discussion required regarding what to do with the existing LTA database and defining access requirements. Such a tool/database formed part of the Community health initiative's successful grant proposal.
Some clarifications have been made to the community banning and unblocking policies that effectively sync them with current practice. Specifically, the community has reached a consensus that when blocking a user at WP:AN or WP:ANI, it is considered a "community sanction", and administrators cannot unblock unilaterally if the user has not successfully appealed the sanction to the community.
An RfC regarding the bot policy has closed with changes to the section describing restrictions on cosmetic changes.

Technical news

Users will soon be able to blacklist specific users from sending them notifications.

Miscellaneous

Following the 2017 elections, the new members of the Board of Trustees include Raystorm, Pundit and Doc James. They will serve three-year terms.

The Living Daylights

Anthony Hamilton can't portray Bond because by his homosexuality, and as consequence the AIDS, he cannot portray. The gays doesn't like women and James Bond is an addict to have sex with the most beautiful girls. --23.247.147.5 (talk) 02:55, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, one would need a citation for that per WP:BLP, and one would need an official statement to confirm that that is the reason why. Also, one should not have worded it in the way you did—I couldn't parse the meaning of it. RileyBugz^会話_投稿記録 03:01, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My Edit of The A Beka Book Aritcle-Are you serious?

First of all, I do not even know who you are.

Secondly, I have no clue as to how you were able to see my Edit to the A Beka Book page that fast.

Thirdly, Everything I said in the edit I made was correct, and correctly placed in the critisium section of the Article. The neutrality of the Edit is irrelavent, since it was correctly placed in the critisium section of the Article.

You obviosuly have never been home educated through high school in the middle of nowhere like I have, and then categorcially destroyed because of the garbage Education that you recieved that was not even a real and usable education to begin with. I have.

That is why I edited the article, because I felt that the Public had a right to know about the garbage education that this terrible company has produced. So that more students do not get categorcially destroyed by the idiots that write and produce this Cirriculum. And that the Parents know that it is a bad decision to educate their children using this garbage.Anonomous Person (talk) 21:27, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Anonomous Person: Well, edits appear live on the recent changes list, so there's that. I reverted it because, as stated, it did not adhere to a neutral point of view. Also, the claims made weren't even about the book, they were about the college. So, if you find the article about the college, then, if you can find reliable sources, write down the criticisms (but not like you did—say stuff instead like "The college's rules are criticized for being too strict"). Of course, one should take note to make the criticisms encyclopedic. If you can do that, then go ahead! Bring down the corporations, etc. But, to be honest, I would think that any reasonable parent reading the school article would know how terrible it is. They probably don't even teach philosophy, the best subject ever! RileyBugz^会話_投稿記録 00:29, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stara Pazova railway station

There are no citations for this station. I use [1] info from Google Maps for writting article. --Kolega2357 (talk) 00:23, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kolega: Well then cite the url. You can't not have citations. RileyBugz^会話_投稿記録 00:25, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kolega2357: Corrected ping. RileyBugz^会話_投稿記録 00:26, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How to insert correct URL from Google Maps? --Kolega2357 (talk) 00:27, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kolega2357: Well just do what you did, cite the URL of the place. RileyBugz^会話_投稿記録 00:29, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[2] Is it ok now? --Kolega2357 (talk) 00:37, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kolega2357: Yep! It would also be good if you could do that on the other articles you have created. I will move it back now. RileyBugz^会話_投稿記録 00:39, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: John M. "Jack" O'Brien

Hello RileyBugz. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of John M. "Jack" O'Brien, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: borderline significance claims on talk page, use WP:AFD instead if non-notable. Thank you.

Peep peep

If you're looking for another bird project anytime soon, the Piping plover could use some work. Really a lovely animal, but the article is in need of attention. Just came across it in my reading and thought of you. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:49, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I will probably start working on it soon, I guess (it does certainly need cleanup, but I'll try). When I finish one of my current projects I will probably dedicate a lot of time to it. RileyBugz^会話_投稿記録 21:54, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Restoring James Allison (pirate)

Thanks for the review of James Allison (pirate). I will be restoring the content shortly. It's not unsourced; it's just all from a single source, and I though it would be redundant to cite the same one source over and over again.

I will re-work the page a little to make it clearer how the source material applies, and I will see if there are any other sources I missed. Thanks again! --TheLastBrunnenG (talk) 01:51, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mariya mon960 (talk) 20:09, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bonjour (je parle un peu de la francaise, mais je vais parler en anglais, parce que je ne parle pas beaucoup francaise). Somebody redirected it to another page (meaning that when you click on that page, you will instead go to another page). But, because the founder does not have any mentions in reliable, published sources (comme dans les journaux, les livres, etc), he is not able to have his own article. RileyBugz^会話_投稿記録 20:15, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

so now i want to create en Wikipedia for him what should i do??

other persons have Wikipedia page in several languages
