Ways to improve YBN (collective)

Hi, I'm Domdeparis. AngusWOOF, thanks for creating YBN (collective)!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This really needs more sources as it seems to be a very loose group based around Nahmir most of whom do not seem notable

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Domdeparis, I merely created the redirect to the founder; it got expanded into a stub article recently by another editor so yes, if it is going to be an actual collective article then it needs more sources. Thanks for tagging them. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:33, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I did see that after tagging, so I'll ping the other contibutors on the talk page and identify this thread. Dom from Paris (talk) 17:39, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Hello, for the title "魔法科高校の劣等生" the word "科" can mean "department". https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E7%A7%91 --11 Tom (talk) 16:52, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss this at the talk page for the article. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:53, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.13 18 September 2018

Hello AngusWOOF, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.

Project news
As part of this project, the feed will have some larger updates to functionality next month. Specifically, ORES predictions will be built in, which will automatically flag articles for potential issues such as vandalism or spam. Copyright violation detection will also be added to the new page feed. See the projects's talk page for more info.

Moving to Draft and Page Mover
  • Some unsuitable new articles can be best reviewed by moving them to the draft space, but reviewers need to do this carefully and sparingly. It is most useful for topics that look like they might have promise, but where the article as written would be unlikely to survive AfD. If the article can be easily fixed, or if the only issue is a lack of sourcing that is easily accessible, tagging or adding sources yourself is preferable. If sources do not appear to be available and the topic does not appear to be notable, tagging for deletion is preferable (PROD/AfD/CSD as appropriate). See additional guidance at WP:DRAFTIFY.
  • If the user moves the draft back to mainspace, or recreates it in mainspace, please do not re-draftify the article (although swapping it to maintain the page history may be advisable in the case of copy-paste moves). AfC is optional except for editors with a clear conflict of interest.
  • Articles that have been created in contravention of our paid-editing-requirements or written from a blatant NPOV perspective, or by authors with a clear COI might also be draftified at discretion.
  • The best tool for draftification is User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js(info). Kindly adapt the text in the dialogue-pop-up as necessary (the default can also be changed like this). Note that if you do not have the Page Mover userright, the redirect from main will be automatically tagged as CSD R2, but in some cases it might be better to make this a redirect to a different page instead.
  • The Page Mover userright can be useful for New Page Reviewers; occasionally page swapping is needed during NPR activities, and it helps avoid excessive R2 nominations which must be processed by admins. Note that the Page Mover userright has higher requirements than the NPR userright, and is generally given to users active at Requested Moves. Only reviewers who are very experienced and are also very active reviewers are likely to be granted it solely for NPP activities.
List of other useful scripts for New Page Reviewing

  • Twinkle provides a lot of the same functionality as the page curation tools, and some reviewers prefer to use the Twinkle tools for some/all tasks. It can be activated simply in the gadgets section of 'preferences'. There are also a lot of options available at the Twinkle preferences panel after you install the gadget.
  • In terms of other gadgets for NPR, HotCat is worth turning on. It allows you to easily add, remove, and change categories on a page, with name suggestions.
  • MoreMenu also adds a bunch of very useful links for diagnosing and fixing page issues.
  • User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js(info): Installing scripts doesn't have to be complicated. Go to your common.js and copy importScript( 'User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js' ); into an empty line, now you can install all other scripts with the click of a button from the script page! (Note you need to be at the ".js" page for the script for the install button to appear, not the information page)
  • User:TheJosh/Scripts/NewPagePatrol.js(info): Creates a scrolling new pages list at the left side of the page. You can change the number of pages shown by adding the following to the next line on your common.js page (immediately after the line importing this script): npp_num_pages=20; (Recommended 20, but you can use any number from 1 to 50).
  • User:Primefac/revdel.js(info): Is requesting revdel complicated and time consuming? This script helps simplify the process. Just have the Copyvio source URL and go to the history page and collect your diff IDs and you can drop them into the script Popups and it will create a revdel request for you.
  • User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js(info): Creates a "Page Curation" link to Special:NewPagesFeed up near your sandbox link.
  • User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/deletionFinder.js: Creates links next to the title of each page which show up if it has been previously deleted or nominated for deletion.
  • User:Evad37/rater.js(info): A fantastic tool for adding WikiProject templates to article talk pages. If you add: rater_autostartNamespaces = 0; to the next line on your common.js, the prompt will pop up automatically if a page has no Wikiproject templates on the talk page (note: this can be a bit annoying if you review redirects or dab pages commonly).

Draft:Princeton Hsu (1900-1999) Reply

You know I can't even remember putting the review tag on the article or even less why I would have thought that I was going to work on improving it. I've gone ahead and removed it as I don't have the time or inclination to work on the draft. Appreciate the pick up. Dan arndt (talk) 05:20, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Dan arndt. I'm still waiting for it to turn into something that isn't a WP:MEMORIAL. Given the original editor's choice of username, I suspect that may be an issue. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:30, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yomi robotic surgery

Hi there, I wanted to let you know I moved your recently approved article back to draft space. I'm truly confounded what about it seemed acceptable to you under WP:NCORP, as the only sources are a PR release, a company listing, and a passing mention in a seemingly niche blog. Anywho, looking forward to your feedback. Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 17:23, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Drewmutt, see the list of refideas on the talk page. Some of those are significant coverage by secondary sources (State College and Miami Herald). The FDA approval news was plastered all over the major news sites. This is why I think it has potential, but if you want to wait until that information is actually placed into the article, then we can wait for that action.

Draft:Jeff Orkin

Hi, thanks for taking the time to review my submission. Any tips you can give me for me on improving this for approval? Wider variety of sources other than MIT? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:3683:C800:34E4:ACD3:B0FE:BB33 (talk) 15:50, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll answer with some notability guidelines. First it needs to be clear what his occupation is. Is he a news writer / blogger? Then check WP:JOURNALIST. That he's written a bunch of news and magazine articles, that doesn't make him notable. You'll need to find articles that cover Orkin himself, not ones written by him. If he's had a lead position in those media, like lead tech editor or something, then you can write about that. Is he a professor or does academic research? Then check WP:NACADEMIC - they have some high standards as to what professors and researchers are worthy of inclusion, some are like getting medals or awards or being a fellow in a notable research society. Has he done something notable in the business world with his company? Then check WP:NBUSINESS. As a biography of the person, it needs to satisfy general notability guide WP:GNG. I would look mainly for news articles that aren't coming from MIT. Articles that focus on him, and where he is not a passing mention. At this point, it appears more like a resume or eulogy praising Orkin's accomplishments, when it is not clear what he has done that actually makes him Wikipedia notable. WP:LOWPROFILE may also apply, there are lots of folks who have important positions in companies and organizations but aren't Wikipedia notable in themselves. Hope that helps.

Regarding a recent edit...

I noticed that sometime last month you undid my edit to Christine Marie Cabanos' wiki page. The reason I added rowspans was because merely adding seperate years instead of combined ones looked disorganized and cluttered. Just wanted to state my reasoning. IceWalrus236 (talk) 21:07, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add rowspans, they disrupt MOS:ACCESS issues. Also they take away the ability to sort her roles based on release/broadcast dates. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:21, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Rowspans are more for entries that are strongly tied together as with album or film awards. There's nothing about certain voice roles that would require rowspans. If there are strongly tied (sword art online, sword art online 2) they'd be on the same entry anyway. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:35, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
