March 2008 edition of the WikiProject Germany newsletter
 Issue II - March 2008 | |
This is the second issue of WikiProject Germany's newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members of the project to keep up with new developments and coordinate new collaborative efforts. If you think anything should be featured in the next issue, please leave a note at the Newsdesk |
Be creative! If you have an idea, just suggest it on the project talk page (don't forget to watchlist it).
|
The task force dedicated to creating and improving articles on all German cities and municipalities is happy to announce that there are now (at least) stub articles for all municipalities of Germany. Now the task force is looking for help in fleshing these out a little bit. The current phase of activity for the task force is to copy in infoboxes from the articles in German Wikipedia. If you want to help, even just for a few articles, look at the instructions and links here
There are now way over 26.000 articles tagged as part of our Wikiproject and many still need either an importance or a quality assessment. Also there are many more out there that do need to be tagged like approx 8000 municipalities. If you would like to help take a browse through Articles needing Importance assessment or Articles needing a basic quality assessment. | |

Thanks for your support in my RFA, that didn't quite make it and ended at 120/47/13. There was a ton of great advice there, that I'm going to go on. Maybe someday. If not, there are articles to write! Thanks for your support. Lawrence § t/e 17:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Moving of pages in other people's userspace
WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. I moved user boxes but I didn't move them to anyone's user page. If anything I removed user pages from the user boxes. CITE WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT hero.--Ron John (talk) 11:02, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Nova (eikaiwa)
The deletion/move was because all other such articles are at ... (eikaiwa), Nova is the only standalone. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 11:23, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, now I get what you wanted to do ({{db-move}} or an edit summary might have helped explain more than "needs to be deleted for maintenance reasons"). However, as the article was moved away from the title you'd like for it in 2007, I suggest to use WP:RM and get consensus for this move. Happy editing, Kusma (talk) 11:33, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
ANI archiving
I was under the impression I had used edit-summaries that indicated I was archiving. I think I lacked an edit-summary when putting it into a subpage for 2 of the threads - was that what you meant? If you did, I agree - point taken. :) Thank you - Ncmvocalist (talk) 14:44, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Deletion of reference to band Commonalty
Kusma
I recently posted an article on an influential Irish traditional band, Commonalty, which played together in Ireland in the late 1980's. The band was notable for the influence that it had on traditional musicians right throughout Ireland, references being made continuously to the band and the recording that it made. The article was short and factually correct, as I was in the band myself. While a small footnote to the development of traditional music in Ireland, I do not think it merits deletion.
Milorat (talk) 19:49, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- Unfortunately your article didn't state anything that made the band appear to meet our inclusion criteria for bands. If you can provide reliable sources that show that the band had an important influence on other musicians, there may be a place for an article in Wikipedia. But the mere existence of the band is not a reason to include it (else we'd be overflowing in articles about random bands). Kusma (talk) 09:49, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Improper closer of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2008 Summer Olympics highlights
I notice several editors calling for deletion of this article and thus closing it as a speed keep is improper per Wikipedia:Speedy keep. This is a notification that it will be listed at DRV.--Crossmr (talk) 16:29, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
- I guess process is on vacation today. I go to sleep and wake up to find DRV closed even though another editor is calling for it to be reopened. In regards to your comment about the text being removed, the edit summary (and I have to assume good faith) of the person removing it seems to indicate the text was added without consensus to cover a situation that is already covered in the rules, which is probably about disruption and is negated again by the fact that several editors were calling for deletion.--Crossmr (talk) 01:14, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- I think the correct process would be to remove the link on the Main Page first, then debate a deletion. Personally I think we should link to Wikinews' coverage of the Olympics and not try to have current articles of our own, but then I feel stronger about WP:NOTNEWS than others. Kusma (talk) 06:29, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- I also agree it shouldn't be there, which is why I'm confused as to the removal. I can't find any relevant policy which states an article linked from the main page shouldn't be nominated unless its used for pure disruption, which in this case it wasn't as several editors agreed with the nomination.--Crossmr (talk) 09:11, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Policy is what we do, not what is written down :-) My closure used an understanding of policy that was not in the speedy keep guideline (although it was when I first read it). I don't think it is "disruptive" to nominate articles linked from the Main Page, I just think we shouldn't show our internal disagreements in such a public place. And if people agree that an article shouldn't exist, it should be easy to get sufficient support to remove the article from the Main Page (via the relevant process, in this case, Template talk:In the news). If consensus supports linking to an article from the Main Page, that probably means it shouldn't be deleted at that time. Kusma (talk) 09:22, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- I'd suggest that though on first sight it may appear to be common sense to close the AfD because the article is linked from the main page, that course of action is in no way supported by policy, nor is particularly defensible when the nomination itself showed considerable discord among users. My feeling is that the line of thinking "should we be having such a contested article on the main page?". The answer in this case would have been "no", and the article could be removed from the main page for the duration of the deletion debate. What do you think? I'm considering re-nomming it (DRV would be pointless I think). Martinp23 10:20, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
- Problem is, the ITN people won't let it leave the front page. I feel like I have been bashing my head against a brick wall trying to explain why I feel it is a terrible (and irrepairable) article, but there you go. Brilliantine (talk) 05:48, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Olympic Highlights
This has been delinked from the ITN template now, but I am unsure whether to start a whole new AFD or go to DRV again to get the old one re-opened. Any thoughts on this?? Brilliantine (talk) 22:27, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- The debate at Template talk:In the news doesn't seem to have reached a consensus for the removal yet (and the article is currently linked from ITN). Should the debate reach consensus, I think a new AFD is the way to go. Kusma (talk) 05:44, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Valid image gone

Cortec Group
Kusma --
I wanted to see if you could share with me the content that you deleted for Cortec Group, Inc.. I wanted to create a page on this firm as part of the Private Equity WikiProject Task Force effort on notable private equity firms. I notices that a little more than a year ago you deleted an article on the Cortec Group due to notability issues. I am not sure if there is any content in there of use but would like to try to retrieve the content before starting an article from scratch. Historically within the context of the private equity universe it is a fairly notable firm and if you look back there are plenty of references in various sources from the New York Times and other newspapers as well as more specific trade publications.
please see the log below:
06:56, May 29, 2007 Kusma (Talk | contribs) deleted "Cortec Group, Inc." (Expired PROD, concern was: unsourced article on firm that does not meet the notability requirments of WP:CORP)
If you can restore this to a new page in under my user name I would like to take a crack at turning it into a real article and have had some success with that in the past. If it is really a worthless stub then I can probably just start a new one myself but if there is good content it might be helpful to use.
Thanks in advance for your help.
|► ϋrbanяenewaℓ • TALK ◄| 02:16, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
- The article was a worthless stub (here it is in all its glory): Cortec Group is a middle-market private equity firm located at 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY. The firm was founded in 1984 by R. Scott Schafler. Have fun writing a real article, Kusma (talk) 06:04, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. I thought it might be something like that but you never know. Thanks again. |► ϋrbanяenewaℓ • TALK ◄| 12:07, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Assessment
Hi,der kürze halber mal in Deutsch: Dieser Artikel Hamm wurde um/am 19:11, 13 July 2007 (UTC) zum Assessment eingetragen, seitdem warte ich auf eine hilfreiche Kritik am Artikel oder eine Neueinstufung. Würde nur sehr ungern weiter daran editieren ohne zu wissen ob ich dem Ziel näher komme oder nicht. Leider stapeln sich die Anfragen für das Assessment langsam bis zur Decke ohne das was passiert. Vielleicht kennst du jemanden der zu dem Artikel mal eine sachliche Kritik bringen könnte. Schon mal danke soweit und Gute Nacht. --Gabriel-Royce (talk) 21:30, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Omnislashing Article
This page really should not have been deleted. The term is well understood and in wide use across the internet. Please consider reinstating the page. ObsessiveMathsFreak (talk) 17:54, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
- The article had zero reliable sources (the only reference was Urbandictionary) and apparently nobody cared enough in the last two years to recreate an article. Is there more to be said than a dictionary definition? (Those do not belong here, but on Wiktionary). Kusma (talk) 19:21, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
About Tian Gang
Thanks for your message. I fully understand it. But I may have my argument. First, at least now, Tian Gang is not as famous as Shing-Tung Yau. If you're a Nobel laureate or Fields prize winner, people will surely respect his choice of how his name will appear in Wiki, no matter how it is spelt in Chinese. But Tian is not that big guy yet. Second, more important, Shing-Tung Yau was neither born nor educated in mainland China. He did his major contribution outside China. But Tian is a born Chinese, and now he has returned to China and holds a full position at a Chinese university. Thus, we treats him as other Chinese scientists. I've seen and edited many prominent Chinese scientists, particularly those members of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), or Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE). Many of them received their degrees overseas, and returned and worked in China. Most of them are well recognized in their field worldwide. But appearance of their names are still surname first, given name second. I'm not the one who decided it, but I've seen so many such examples here, which makes me believe it's the convention in Wiki. If you want to convert it to Gang Tian, I'm afraid we have to convert other hundreds of Chinese scientists as well. If we count all Chinese names, it may be tens of thousands here, I guess.
Anyway, it's not a big deal at all. If you insist, go ahead and change it. It's a free world here. Regards. Ramtears (talk) 19:21, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
