Your GA nomination of Competitive debate in the United States

The article Competitive debate in the United States you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Competitive debate in the United States for comments about the article, and Talk:Competitive debate in the United States/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Question from K&B M. P. Aus. (09:10, 25 February 2023)

Hi there! How can I create my own personal wikipedia information and avoid anyone editing it? --K&B M. P. Aus. (talk) 09:10, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello - This is not possible, and for good reason. See WP:OWN for more information. If you'd like your own personal collection of information that's just for you, you should create a personal website instead. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 16:56, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Question from YT The Transit Diaries (09:03, 23 February 2023)

Hello Thadeus, I am a new user and I got a deletion notice because my username and user page contain promotional content. Can you please change my username to "The Transit Diaries" and user page so it doesn't violate content policy? I want to stay on wikipedia, and I don't know how to change my username etc. Thank you.

Sincerely YT The Transit Diairies --YT The Transit Diaries (talk) 09:03, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello - Please see WP:Username change for this, as I'm not an admin and don't have that ability. Happy editing! ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 16:57, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

DYK for Rose Freistater

On 4 March 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rose Freistater, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Rose Freistater was "too fat" to be a teacher in New York City? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rose Freistater. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Rose Freistater), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Question from Christopher Ake (01:06, 10 March 2023)

How do I add an article to Wikipedia? --Christopher Ake (talk) 01:06, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

I'm a music artist, and would like to create a public page for article to view. Christopher Ake (talk) 01:08, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia! The ideal place to start is WP:Your first article, but given that you seem to want to write an article about yourself, I also encourage you to read WP:Conflict of Interest and WP:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing.

World War II and the history of Jews in Poland: Arbitration case opened

Hello ThadeusOfNazereth,

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence. Please add your evidence by April 04, 2023, which is when the first evidence phase closes. Submitted evidence will be summarized by Arbitrators and Clerks at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence/Summary. Owing to the summary style, editors are encouraged to submit evidence in small chunks sooner rather than more complete evidence later.

Details about the summary page, the two phases of evidence, a timeline and other answers to frequently asked questions can be found at the case's FAQ page.

For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

For the Arbitration Committee,

Question from Mynameiscool93 (21:44, 5 April 2023)

How do i become admin --Mynameiscool93 (talk) 21:44, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello! The process to become an administrator is detailed at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship, but it's not something that you can just do. Adminship is secondary to being a positive contributor to the encyclopedia, and that should be your focus first. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 01:15, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Question from KBlanko (02:03, 9 April 2023)

I tried to add beachfront community to a link that just labeled the destination as a municipality. the wiki link showed up in a google earth pin that was misplaced 200 miles away from actual community. (I did confirm the wrongfully placed pin was not at another Santo Tomas) This reference just made me want to call Santo Tomas Beachfront in its description, as that is what the community is all about. --KBlanko (talk) 02:03, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Question from Munich104 (20:18, 7 April 2023)

Hi, I have been editing the Munich International School Wikipedia page and have been partially blocked from the account. I am aware of the mistakes made and have requested to be unblocked but have not heard back yet. What steps do you recommend I take?

Thank you very much in advance. --Munich104 (talk) 20:18, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

There is a process outlined in the block notice you received which I will link here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_appealing_blocks. That's the only process to follow that I'm aware of. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 03:09, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

"Newtown Boyd, New South Wales"

Hello, I moved this page to Newton Boyd, New South Wales, because "Newtown Boyd, New South Wales" was a spelling mistake. A redirect from this spelling mistake is not really needed. It would be better if the page "Newtown Boyd, New South Wales" were just deleted. There should not be any links to this incorrectly spelled page name.TrimmerinWiki (talk) 08:59, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello! Please see Help:My first article for detailed instructions. For new editors like yourself, we reccomend following the process in Wp:Articles for Creation. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 01:34, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Question from The Sith Turkey (02:52, 25 July 2023)

Hey! I am not very comfortable with my writing skills, and I'm a bit new to researching and fact checking. For now, do you think I should keep making small spelling corrections and updating review information for movies and tv shows? I hope to start working on more impactful edits soon, if you have any reccomendations or fun topics that would be easy to update that would be great. Thank you! --The Sith Turkey (talk) 02:52, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello! I'm sorry this took me a bit to reply to, I'm in the middle of a cross-country move and haven't had a lot of time for Wikipedia recently. Your contributions look good, so I've got no concerns there. What I always recommend is that you edit in a way that makes you feel good - If making minor corrections is rewarding, you should keep doing that, while also adding additional editing on top of that.
For impactful edits, it depends a little bit on what sort of impactful edits you want to make. If writing new articles is what you want to do, I cannot recommend WP:Articles for Creation enough - That's a formalized pipeline to help you get comfortable with bigger edits. For things like expanding pages, you should do that in blocks of small edits rather than one big edit, that way if there are issues people are able to fix them individually rather than reverting a massive amount of work at once. For example, you can see the page history of List of Washington (state) ballot measures, an article I expanded over a long period of time.
Your editing history is pretty varied but I noticed a lot of films and video games in the articles - Both of those wikiprojects have lists of articles tagged for cleanup or expansion. Alternatively, take a look at WP:Requested articles - That's where I got started writing new articles and there are a LOT of options to choose from!

Hey, ThadeusOfNazereth, great work and congratulations! Read the article and it looks like you did a great job! ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:43, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Thank you! I love digging into completely random people's histories like that and fleshing them out a bit :). I meant to say congrats on your DYK of Scottish Prayer Book (1637), I saw you talking about that one over on the site-which-shall-not-be-named. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 18:02, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Oh yes! GAs on "minor" figures might be short on views but they ensure free access to high-quality content on the subject is preserved for years to come! Hey, off-topic and if you don't mind, can I ping you in conversations on prayer book articles when I need to pick the minds of Anglicans? Sometimes I feel like I'm intruding writing about Anglican stuffs. I already have a couple editors that I lean on as counterbalances to any outsider misconceptions I have, but I'd love to add you as a person I can reach out to. ~ Pbritti (talk) 21:24, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

I reviewed the sources of one of your AfD nominations

Hi Thadeus,

Just want to let you know that I reviewed the sources of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Guangzhou True Light Middle School. Kindly let me know, in the AfD page, if you find any more relevant sources.

I think the subject is quite interesting in the case that there are multiple schools by the same name, likely because of missionary activities in the 19th & 20th centuries.

Did you know? submission Joan Brigham

Hi @ThadeusOfNazereth! Many thanks for commenting on my Did you know? submission. Is there anything I can do to imrove my submission? I am new to Wikipedia and I am not a native speaker so this is still challenging for me. Cheers Fridosteamo (talk) 13:54, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

New pages patrol newsletter

Hello ThadeusOfNazereth,

New Page Review article queue, March to September 2023

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Hi Shivam068 - I am not sure what page you are referring to but articles will automatically be indexed over time. If you're referring to a userspace or draftspace page, that will not happen because those are not meant for "public consumption." If you're referring to your sandbox page, that article is nowhere near ready for mainspace and should not be indexed. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 11:44, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello ThadeusOfNazereth,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

WikiProject Anarchism checking in

Hey there! I noticed you have identified yourself as a member of WikiProject Anarchism in your user page, but you don't appear to have been very active in this subject area for some time. Just in case you're still interested, here's a little update:

  • In the past couple years, we have brought four articles to Featured status, including the ones on Nestor Makhno, La Salute è in voi, The May Pamphlet and "The Day Before the Revolution". We're likely to get even more to this status in the near future, so stay tuned to the front page for some of our best articles on the platform.
  • A number of our most vital articles have been reviewed and achieved Good Article status, including ones on Gaetano Bresci, Camilo Cienfuegos, Joseph Déjacque, Luigi Galleani, Paul Goodman, and the Kronstadt rebellion. As these "vital articles" are generally considered among the most important on the platform, we aim to get as many as possible to GA and FA status over the coming years.
  • We recently hit the first milestone for our stub-expansion project, getting the number of stubs down to under 1/5th of our total articles. This means that the vast majority of our articles are now relatively substantial, as we expand and add greater detail to the articles that lack sufficient information. We hope to narrow this number down even further, so more articles have the information they deserve.
  • We just started a cleanup drive, in which we are aiming to resolve the problematic parts of our articles, from finding citations for unsourced sections to fixing up formatting errors. In doing this, we intend to make sure our articles provide the best possible reading experience, without unsourced claims or ugly tags littering the page.

If you want to get more involved in the project, please feel free! We always need an extra pair of hands to help out with our ever-growing project. If you want to help out with one of the above efforts, go right ahead. If you want to keep more up to date with the project's activities, consider adding our noticeboard to your watchlist or adding your name to our mailing list. On the other hand, if you think you're time with the project is over, then consider removing the category from your user page, but we do hope you're still interested in our wee project.

All the best to you, whatever your future plans are. Regards, --Grnrchst (talk) 12:35, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

The citation is incomplete so it's creating a HARV error. "Clark 2023" isn't enough information to determine what source is being cited by itself. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 15:16, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Thanks. I copied the template from another article I helped with, but forgot to add the "website" section with the full reference at the bottom (now done). Hope that helps take the article through the AfC process. Mac Edmunds (talk) 15:32, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Request on 23:17:58, 14 October 2024 for assistance on AfC submission by Deviltakethehindmost


Hi! I based a lot of my links off what was on the page for Ted Keegan, another Broadway actor who played the Phantom of the Opera. Just out of curiosity, what is it that allowed Keegan's page to be published that this one lacks? Thank you so much! Sorry if I phrased that wrong, I appreciate your help! :)

Deviltakethehindmost (talk) 23:17, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello! No worries on the phrasing, I understand what you're asking. The biggest difference is that the Ted Keegan article was created directly in the mainspace from what I can see, meaning they did not go through the AFC process. The AFC process is inherently more difficult than just making an article and going on your way because you're relying on multiple other sets of eyes. Many reviewers also err on the side of caution when it comes to articles about living people in order to avoid a possible deletion. While I don't have the time right now to do a deep dive into Keegan's career, it's possible that he meets notability even if the article isn't put together perfectly - It's also possible that he doesn't meet notability and, because the article was never reviewed, nobody has caught that yet.
I DO hope you're not discouraged by the multiple declined submissions. If you're interested in expanding Wikipedia's coverage of theater-related subjects more broadly, I recommend you check out Wikiproject Musical Theatre - They have a to-do list and lots of helpful people on the talk page. Once you hit 500 edits, you can get an account at The Wikipedia Library, which makes finding sources a lot easier. I didn't really start content creation until I got access to Newspapers.com through them! ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 23:32, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Hi. I don't know of either person. But I put their names into Google Scholar. Keegan had some hits (might be unrelated?) but none for Stolle. Google News also seemed to have little coverage for Stolle, as the topic for news coverage. Just a quick glance, but may indicate Notability problems for Stolle. My 2 cents. Good luck, I hope you'll find easier subjects for your energies! ProfGray (talk) 02:41, 15 October 2024 (UTC) ProfGray (talk) 02:41, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Michael Gove

Hi, the reason for removing the book was because the author is currently the subject of thread at WP:COIN, here [1] and seems to have been involved in a lot of self-citation.

In the case in point I must admit I'm at a loss as to what the relevance of the book is to the subject, but it must be of only passing relevance at best given that the book is a text on psychopharmacology.

I'd be interested in your thoughts here.

Kind regards, Axad12 (talk) 13:52, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

That would've been helpful information to include in the edit summary - As it was it seemed like you were just randomly pruning references. I agree that it doesn't seem particularly relevant, but because it's being used to support a direct quote I'm hesitant to remove it until we can verify with the actual book - We shouldn't have an uncited quote just floating around an article. I added a verification needed template to the quote in question and plan on circling around as soon as IA is back up or I can get a copy. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 14:23, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for getting back to me.
It looks to me as though the quote in question is highly unlikely to be located in that book. But even if it is located in the book, I would argue that a text on psychopharmacology cannot by definition be a WP:RS compliant source on what Michael Gove said about the public speaking abilities of Boris Johnson. The title of the book is "The Cult of Pharmacology: How America Became the World's Most Troubled Drug Culture". At best, the quote (if genuine) should be cited from a more relevant source or removed altogether.
That is just my opinion, however. I don't think these policy interpretations are necessarily 100% cut and dried. Axad12 (talk) 14:55, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
Like I said, I don't disagree with you - It looks like the quote originally came from the book Boris: The Rise of Boris Johnson, so I updated the article accordingly. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 15:12, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
Excellent work, thank you. Axad12 (talk) 15:15, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Administrator Elections: Candidate instructions

Administrator Elections | Instructions for candidates

Thank you for choosing to run in the October 2024 administrator elections. This bulletin contains some important information about the next stages of the election process.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

  • October 15–21: SecurePoll setup phase
  • October 22–24: Discussion phase
  • October 25–31: SecurePoll voting phase
  • November 1–?: Scrutineering phase

We are currently in the SecurePoll setup phase. Your candidate subpage will remain closed to questions and discussion. However, this is an excellent opportunity for you to recruit nominators (if you want them) and have them place their nomination statements, and a good time for you to answer the standard three questions, if you have not done so already. We recommend you spend the SecurePoll setup phase from October 15–21 getting your candidate page polished and ready for the next phase.

The discussion phase will take place from October 22–24. Your candidate subpage will open to the public and they will be permitted to discuss you and ask you formal questions, in the same style as a request for adminship (RfA). Please make sure you are around on those dates to answer the formal questions in a timely manner.

On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. Anyone can see who has voted, but not who they voted for. You are permitted and encouraged to vote in the election, including voting for yourself. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see your tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RfA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, you must have received at least 70% support, calculated as support ÷ (support + oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("'crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation as a candidate, and best of luck.

You're receiving this message because you are a candidate in the October 2024 administrator elections.

Our Admin Election Test

Hello there. As we're preparing to move from one stage to the next, this is just a quick note from one member of the test group to another, wishing you well in the process of this new alternative to RfA. It seems that there are more of us in this group than some in the community anticipated, so i hope that doesn't make the experience any the worse for all of us. Whatever our individual results, i thank you, along with the rest, for stepping up and testing this process; happy days, ~ LindsayHello 07:13, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
