The Ideal Scout

Good job, creating The Ideal Scout. It was deserving of its own article, and doing so nicely cleaned up the R. Tait McKenzie article. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 00:25, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Beach Bunny Swimwear

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Beach Bunny Swimwear requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Talpatra (talk) 14:59, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at AfC Camp Lambec was accepted

Camp Lambec, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.
The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on the article's talk page. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.

Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

Speedy deletion declined: Girl Scouts Eastern Washington & Northern Idaho

Hello Evrik. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Girl Scouts Eastern Washington & Northern Idaho, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: None of the reasons for G6 appear to be met. Please go to WP:RFD instead. Thank you. Jackmcbarn (talk) 16:14, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Chickasaw Council - Redirect Article Comment

Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by article count

Before reviving, make sure it respects opt-outs as does Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits. I've seen editors say they refuse to create new pages because their names appear there. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 06:51, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fisheaters.com

Thanks for the heads-up about what's going on on the Blacklist page. I don't get this, though. I don't understand why they have it in for the Fisheaters website. It's the only traditional site like it on the itnernet, it's been around forever, it gets used by priests, gets used in RCIA classes, has been cited in books. Something isn't right here. Will you go to the Whitelist page and argue for an unblocking? The URL is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Spam-whitelist#Fisheaters.com_.28One_Page.29_-_One_Article:_Entry_.22Traditional_Catholicism.22 Thanks! Schoemann (talk) 11:34, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Evrik. Something really shaky is going on. Check this out: the woman who runs Fisheaters says this about her site and Wikipedia: go to Fisheaters.com/wikipedia2.html And now Chabad has 2,118 links from Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:LinkSearch&limit=500&offset=2000&target=http%3A%2F%2F*.Chabad.org Why would they allow 2,118 links from Chabad but not one from a traditional Catholic website, and that because they say it "spammed" Wiki (when, if what the Fisheaters lady is saying is true, there were no rules against adding links to your own website!)? Does Wikipedia have a serious Catholic problem? It seems that way, and I'm starting to get angry about it. I don't know if you're Catholic or not or whether you have a dog in this fight, but even if you're not and you don't, simple fairness demands something be done about this.

This is kind of scary if you stop and think about it. Wikipedia is the biggest thing on the internet, the first thing people see if they use Google to search for anything, and it seems to be very anti-Catholic and very pro-Hassidic. This makes me want to see how Israel-Palestine entries are handled. Schoemann (talk) 13:37, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Eric Berg

Restored here. I've changed "national" to US since we are not all Americans, and removed unacceptable YouTube and Amazon "references". Note that his own website/publications are not neutral and should be used with caution. Some of your other refs may not be independent verifiable sources as defined by the link.


Purely as a style thing, there shouldn't be a space between the punctuation and the ref following it, or between multiple refs Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:20, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Resurrection of Southern California Task Force

After moving from Los Angeles County to Kern County to San Luis Obispo County, I am finally realizing that there is life in California outside of L.A. and San Francisco, where I lived and grew up. Oh, I have also lived in San Diego, San Bernardino, San Joaquin, Yolo and Sacramento counties, and I earned my undergraduate degree in Riverside County. I am trying to breathe life into the Southern California Task Force, and I hope you will join me. Could you visit our list of participants at the other end of this link and update your description of what you are interested in doing for us, assuming that you still want to be in the mix, that is.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Josiah Bunting III, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 9th Infantry Division. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Nancy Navarro

I've spoken with User:Ad Orientem, and although he disagrees with the wisdom of doing this, he's OK with me userfying this for you. A couple of things first:

  • The AFD result still stands. Before restoring it to article space, I believe you'll need to get consensus to do so at WP:DRV. Alternately, you could ask AO to review the revised page in your user space, once you think it meets WP:NOTE; if he's OK with restoration, then I think you can probably skip DRV.
  • Personally, I kind of doubt you're going to be able to convince people she meets WP:NOTE. While userfication means you're welcome to try, please be aware that there's a decent chance the article won't be approved to restore to article space. You're spending your time on this at your own risk.
  • Stale drafts can't lie around in userspace for a long time. If you decide you don't want to pursue this after all, please let me know (or tag the article for speedy deletion) so it can be re-deleted.
  • Where do you want me to put this? I need to move the page for attribution reasons, I can't just copy the last version's text. The link you gave AO is to a talk page, and to a page that already has content. Can I move it to User:Evrick/draft3? Or somewhere else? --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:18, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hi @Floquenbeam: - FWIW, I don't want the old article with the history and such. Just the wikicode for the last version. Please feel free to copy the code here: User talk:Evrik/draft2. I understand everything else you have stated. Thank you. --evrik (talk) 20:00, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • But I can't really do that; the wikicode was created by others, listed in the history, so if you're going to use that to work off of, we need to attribute their work. If that ever goes back to mainspace, then we'd move it instead of copy/paste to preserve that history. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:08, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • Yes, I understand. If I ever move the article back to the mainspace, I am going to ask that the article be undeleted, and then copy the code over as the latest version - thereby preserving the history. --evrik (talk) 20:12, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
          • If I just post the wikitext; then I've omitted attribution. I realize people do things much worse than that all the time, but still, I don't want to; I feel like it's disrespecting the people who've worked on the article, and (less important) it's against policy. 90% of the time userfication is dealt with by undeleting; the other 10% of the time it's done wrong. I'll be happy to move it as soon as you give me a target page name. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:22, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draft3 is fine. Thanks. --evrik (talk) 20:23, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Grób Baden-Powell

Interesting, but why translate to Polish? Any relevance to Polish readers? In all honesty, it seems like an article that would get effectively zero views per year on pl wiki... Are you sure this is even notable for stand-alone article on en wiki? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:04, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Silver Buffalo

A few considerations here:

  • Have you checked the deletion log for Category:Recipients of the Silver Buffalo Award? In short, a disruptive sockpuppet tagged it as a recreation of the category deleted in the second CFD that you linked, but it was distinctly not the same as the previously deleted content, so I rejected the request. The sockpuppet then re-tagged it, and someone else deleted without caring that it was not the same.
  • If I just go and undelete it now, it will immediately be eligible to be tagged for C1 speedy deletion. This criterion, applicable to empty categories, can only be used if the category's been tagged for several days and never been un-emptied.
  • If you want to have the category, please populate it and then ask me to undelete it. I'm not inclined to undelete a long-deleted category merely because you're planning to populate it, since we all get distracted sometimes and forget to complete a project that we were planning. But if you fill it first, it won't qualify for C1, so I'll be happy undeleting it.
  • Be aware that these X-award-recipient categories are almost always deleted when they're taken to CFD, and generally the only exceptions are truly top-level awards, e.g. Category:Recipients of the Iron Cross and Category:Recipients of the Victoria Cross. If I undelete this category, someone almost certainly will take it to CFD before long, and it almost certainly will be deleted.

So while I'm willing to undelete the category if you wish, you're going to have to do the work, and your work will almost certainly be wasted. Nyttend (talk) 03:19, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm reverting additions of this category, because the category does not exist. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:55, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Muboshgu Ummm ... please read the above. --evrik (talk) 20:59, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If there's no category, there's no adding it to pages. Don't unless it is undeleted. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:00, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Muboshgu: that is exactly the opposite of what was said by the admin who I asked to undelete the category. Please read above. Perhaps, as an admin, you can undelete the category, and the restore all the work you undid? Thanks. --evrik (talk) 21:02, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't bother adding the category back to pages unless it gets undeleted. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 22:23, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Now restored. As I noted, this is almost certain to be taken to CFD and almost certain to be deleted there, but since it was deleted under a criterion that didn't apply, it's only fair for me to accept your request. Nyttend (talk) 01:07, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Nyttend: , thanks. Category:Recipients of the Silver Buffalo Award now has more than 300 entries. --evrik (talk) 20:26, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

pot calling kettle black

So as to avoid an edit war on this article, let's discuss it here or on the article's talk page. I cannot find mention of hypocrisy for this proverb/idiom in standard reference works: Brewer, Roget, Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs. Looking up hypocrisy, I find it listed in Roget under "deception" with reference to different idioms: a wolf in sheep's clothing and a whited sepulchre. There is a different between pretending to be what one is not and accusing someone of the very faults that one possesses. From the point of view of format, discussion of psychological projection and any alternative meaning properly belongs in the body of the article, not the lede. The burden of proof rests on you and requires a scholarly reference, not the sort of opinion piece you have supplied. Sweetpool50 (talk) 06:56, 26 September 2019 (UTC) The reference in question:[reply]

  • Waldman, Katy (2014-12-22). "Is It Kosher to Talk About the "Pot Calling the Kettle Black"?". Slate. Retrieved 2019-02-03. This saying, which personifies kitchenware in order to make a point about hypocrisy, means "to criticize someone for a fault you also possess."

... actually uses the word hypocrisy as part of its explanation on the term. There are other sources as well. Would you like me to list them? --evrik (talk) 14:40, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback abuse

I just read your note on my talk page. I was slightly confused at first, because while I did rollback your mass tagging of:

When I used the tool, it was because I saw your widespread edits as misguided editor and were unhelpful to the encyclopedia. I know the rules. I had thought I left a note here Talk:Greater New York Councils. However, the comments I had thought were there are not there now. In any case, I could have "undone" them, or gone back to an earlier version ... and now I have left my comments on the talk page, and will now go address them here, Wikipedia:Files_for_discussion#October_27.

You should know better – I'm an admin, not some misguided editor. Five files is not widespread either. I typically review 60–100 non-free files per day and tag about ~15% for deletion.
Also this is the second time you have modified one of my FFD nominations. Don't do that. — JJMC89 (T·C) 04:17, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
