Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kyäni

If you do not mind me asking, what is the reason that you relisted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kyäni? --Jax 0677 (talk) 18:48, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

@Jax 0677: Per arguments thus far in the discussion, consensus is leaning toward deletion at this point, but you have provided a guideline-based rationale for retention, and another user has opined that they're unsure. Also, the discussion has not realized a great deal of input. See WP:RELIST for more information about relisting. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:37, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Miss World

When merging we have too account for WP:undue. I feel a full list of winners of preliminary events in the overview article falls outside this. If you wanted to keep this information then I would recommend adding it to the individual competition articles (it is not in the Miss World 2015 one for example). Anyway I am not fussed about these articles (I don't watch them and only know of the reverts through the article alerts) and the top tier article is not that great to start with. I did just want to defend myself on one though. Here you say nothing was merged, but I did merge in the name with this edit. I just tidied the paragraph as I was basically merging a lot of similar titles. If you take out the list there was nothing else that needed merging. I do make lots of merges that are simply redirects, but if I do I always try and explain why in my edit summary (eg [1]). AIRcorn (talk) 05:57, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your input. I'm in the process of adding reliable sources to properly verify content in the tables. This takes time. These are actually significant aspects of the competitions, so I disagree with the notion of their being undue. Reliable sources consistently cover this aspect of the competition.

Total deletion of an article

Hello Northamerica1000.

I created an article titled "Sober On Tuxedos (band)" which was deleted. Can you please remove it completely from wikipedia history because it appears on facebook?

Thank you in advance.

Mad00lini (talk) 08:17, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

• @Mad00lini: You can request suppression, which is a form of enhanced deletion that expunges information from any form of usual access, even by administrators. For more information, and to make a suppression request, see Wikipedia:Oversight. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 08:26, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

I Could Use Your Help Please

Hi Northamerica1000! I've become familiar with Jon Luvelli and his works. This past week I've been spending a lot of time speaking on his AFD discussion. There is no doubt that he is none throughout his industry for what he does. He has even had additional media coverage this week. I would like to ask you if we could turn his page into a WP:STUB so not only myself but others can further expand this article. I will continue to stay updated on this topic as I do several other pages pertaining to the art industry, and make edits as they're appropriate.

Thank you! MarPatton (talk) 14:23, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

• Hi @MarPatton: The qualifications for an article about a person on English Wikipedia comes down to whether or not the subject meets notability guidelines such as WP:BASIC and WP:GNG. There are also secondary notability guidelines that pertain to various people. For this subject, WP:CREATIVE can also be consulted, per their background as a photographer. More information about biographies of living persons on Wikipedia is available at WP:BLP.

The article may be deleted if consensus at the discussion forms for this action. Nevertheless, don't be discouraged if this occurs, and continue to contribute to Wikipedia. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 14:58, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

BSDMS

I deleted a paragraph likely written by an Internet troll regarding how BSDMS became undank while the citation did not corroborate the claim. Might be good to return the page to protected status?--☭🎆🌎🎼🎺🐦 02:54, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

• Not really seeing a reason to protect Bernie Sanders' Dank Meme Stash; it's rather stable and there hasn't really been that much editing going on with it. Protection is typically used to prevent continuous problematic edits from occurring after they have occurred, rather than preventing them from occurring before they occur.

Thanks

I've noticed you at Afds and have noticed how you keep helping editors with nudges and hints about the right arguments to follow apart from providing links to the right articles to read. Your edit of my references at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mary Lincoln Beckwith was also appreciated by me. Thanks for all that... Lourdes 14:26, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

@Xender Lourdes: I remember that now. The header2 in the discussion was truncating the indentation of the table of contents on the main AfD log page, because AfD listings are posted with a header3. So, I changed it to header4. Cheers, North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:51, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Tech News: 2016-26

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• The ORES service has now moved to a new location. This should make it easier to use ORES. The ORES review service is now available as a beta feature on Wikidata and Persian Wikipedia. ORES is an artificial intelligence system for Wikimedia wikis to help editors. [2]
• The order of wikis in collapsed cross-wiki notifications was different than when the list was expanded. This is now fixed. [3]
• A new category for tracking pages with math errors was added: Category:Pages with math errors. [4]

Problems

• The Wikimedia Etherpad crashed on June 23. Some edits done that day have been lost. They can be found at etherpad-restore.wikimedia.org for another few days. [5][6]

Changes this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 28 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 29 June. It will be on all wikis from 30 June (calendar).
• The way to mark notifications as read or unread will be changed to be more clear. [7]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 28 June at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Collaboration team at the Wikimedia Foundation will look at developing better tools for edit review. This is because research suggests we scare away newcomers who want to help. [8]
• An e-mail from the Editing Department explains the technical work that is planned and being researched for the future. Items include better wikitext and visual editing, prompts for edits, language improvements, annotations, and meta-data separation. [9]
• The sorting of Notifications into the two fly-out menus is going to change on July 5 to 7. Bundled notifications should be easier to explore and mark as read individually. [10][11][12]
• From 29 June git.wikimedia.org (running Gitblit) will redirect all requests to Phabricator. The vast majority of requests should be correctly redirected. [13]
• Catalan and Polish Wikipedias will have Wikidata descriptions added to articles in the mobile view by default. This is currently a beta option for the mobile versions. This might come to other wikis later. [14]

Thanks for getting the dab page issue resolved. I was about to do that and saw that you're already on top of it! GigglesnortHotel (talk) 20:49, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

DYK for Hard soda

On 28 June 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hard soda, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that hard soda is a fast-emerging segment in the craft beer industry that realized over one percent of overall beer category sales in the U.S. in May 2016? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hard soda. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Hard soda), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

Re: Bengay - Thank you

Thank you for your improvements/expansion of the Bengay article. The brand was a household name back in the day. • Gene93k (talk) 18:53, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

@Gene93k: Thanks. There's actually some interesting history about the topic, but it takes time to expand articles. I just added an infobox...North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 19:02, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
