Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia

- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

June 2017
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
I noticed your recent edit to June 2017 London attacks does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → 
Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.
Thanks! - MrX 00:26, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
Please slow down
Please be careful and use the preview button before saving. This edit of yours broke a citation.- MrX 00:35, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- respectfully, I'm not making anywhere near as many edits as other users, and I know how to do citations - since I was used to the name being at the front of the citation, I added one where I thought none existed. Not my fault someone put it somewhere else. Kingsif (talk) 00:42, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:23, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
Nomination of 2017 United Kingdom heat wave for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 2017 United Kingdom heat wave is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2017 United Kingdom heat wave until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. — JFG talk 21:06, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Closing an RfC
You closed this and also participated in it. You are involved. That should have been closed by someone uninvolved. See WP:RFCEND. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:11, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
- The other discussion was closed by someone involved in it. Overlapping discussions facilitates the need to close one, if it’s ended and moved to a separate discussion then it’s ended, someone just needs to close it. Kingsif (talk) 01:15, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
- Two wrongs do not make a right. And it is best to ask someone else to close in that case. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:11, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
Edit warring over quote
Please do not use all caps in edit summaries. It reads like raising your voice.
Please do not call that editor a vandal. He is not.
Please use BRD. You added that content and it was removed the same day.
You wrote "...Literally everyone else is adding this content..." Please clarify. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:42, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
- I was intending to highlight the hypocrisy of the other user, not indicate raising voice, I assumed that would be clear. If it was not, I shall try to find better ways of showing this.
- I believe his actions qualify as vandalism. To elaborate: he edits three pages, and on all of these has unanimously removed text that he doesn’t like or disagrees with.
- I shall exercise judgment when re-adding material, but I will not hesitate to undo edits that are obviously disruptive.
- By “literally everyone else” I was referring to the selection of 4 or 5 users who have contributed to quote lines and quote blocks, the area of dispute. Out of these users, he is the only one deleting content, with the others (including myself) adding and editing it. Kingsif (talk) 21:49, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Caracas drone explosions, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bloomberg (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:29, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Women in Red
Hi there, Kingsif, and thanks for becoming a member of Women in Red. It's good to see we have another editor interested in writing biographies of South American women. You've already made a good start with Rafaela Requesens. As you are a relatively new editor, you might be interested in our Ten Simple Rules. If you run into any difficulties or need assistance, please let me know. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 16:15, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

Since I addressed all of your concerns at Talk:Bell Tower (University of Portland)/GA1, I was wondering if you might be willing to pick up the current Good article nomination.

2018 Attack
- Hi. I would agree perhaps that it is not directly related to ISIL, but I think it would definitely fit into the "Islamic Terrorism" category as the perpetrator has been named a terrorist by the authorities. --DeeM28 (talk) 19:34, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Filmography of Román Chalbaud moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Filmography of Román Chalbaud, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 08:41, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Kingsif, Please note lists do requirement independent, reliable sources just like other articles in Wikipedia - pls see [[Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists[edit source]]]. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 08:44, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'd assumed since the list had been the entire content of the Román Chalbaud page without citation for years it wouldn't be an issue. No problem here, except I don't know how the draft area works. Kingsif (talk) 14:00, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
- You work on it until someone finds it ready to move to mainspace. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:48, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

The article December 2018 Venezuela earthquakes has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
File source problem with File:Manuel Trujillo Durán with name.png
Thank you for uploading File:Manuel Trujillo Durán with name.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones (Talk) 17:52, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello Kingsif. In your recent edit to June Whitfield, in which you added refs for various entries in the 'Film and television' section, did you not notice that you simultaneously wiped out refs that I had added in several edits previous to yours? PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 00:25, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
- Hi, I deliberately tried not to do that. When the edit conflict came up, I meticulously copied only the text I'd added from the box. I didn't think there'd been any crossover - there shouldn't have been unless you added refs to the same titles I did. In which case, who cares? Kingsif (talk) 00:28, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
- @PaleCloudedWhite: and I'll just take it that your passive-agressive wording wasn't assuming bad faith, there? Kingsif (talk) 00:30, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, about 6 entries had their refs wiped off - you can see in the diff. I shall add them back. I was not assuming bad faith, I just couldn't understand what you had done. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 00:33, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
- I guess I started editing before you, but you saved first, and somewhere in copying text I took a bit too much. Kingsif (talk) 00:39, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
- I had been adding refs one at a time. I think I'll wait until you've finished, otherwise, if you're still editing chunks of that section, it might happen again. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 00:45, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
- @PaleCloudedWhite: I've finished up adding refs, there's still some that needing doing from about 2000, which I thought would be easy to find for someone else. Kingsif (talk) 01:59, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I keep coming across these reviews where you propose a better hook and then approve it. Per Rule H2, you cannot approve your own hook. You can certainly claim the QPQ, but you must turn it over to another reviewer to approve your hook. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:09, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Yeah, I've noticed this, too - since the first one you brought up, I haven't approved my own proposed hook. Sorry for that, I had initially interpreted the rule as that you couldn't approve your own nomination, which in retrospect would be a pretty pointless rule. Kingsif (talk) 22:19, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi
You have not the right to archive the talk page before the end of the discussion and removing my message. It could be considered as a WP:DISRUPTIVE. --Panam2014 (talk) 19:53, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
- You were the disruptive one. The discussion was over, as I said in two messages before closing it, so I had every right to archive it. For YOU to continue to un-archive and add false statements is wrong. You have a proven history of not understanding and edit warring over the issues you brought up. I answered your question - you asked for a source, I gave you one that literally confirmed the thing you questioned. Cease, YOU ARE WRONG. Kingsif (talk) 19:56, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
- Your are the disruptive one. I rejerct you closure. Kingsif you have not the right to archive it because the discussion have not ended. You have not provided source who claim that he is acting president. It is your own interpretation of the source. So, parties opposed have not the right to archive the discussion who have not ended. It could be a form of WP:DISRUPTIVE or a censorship. --Panam2014 (talk) 19:57, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

50.233.42.98
Hi. I noticed the recent activity of 50.233.42.98 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). I thought I should let you know that there's an user called Apollo The Logician that was blocked permanently and ever since they have tried to evade the block. Being a Marxist, since the presidential elections they have taken interest in pushing their point of view in articles related to Venezuela. I don't think there are enough edits to determine this IP edit behaviour, but after seeing its disruptive editing I think they should be looked after. This detection test also shows me that the IP is a proxy. Feel free to make any request if you collect enough evidence from any IP or account. --Jamez42 (talk) 13:47, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
Important Notice
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Cursing at me. ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 20:48, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- I'm just letting you know that I just closed the ANI discussion that you were involved in, as action doesn't seem to be necessary. Just take the advice that I gave to you there; keep civility in mind with all of your edits, discuss disputes properly when they come up, and you'll be fine. You definitely don't want to have that kind of behavior become a habit; else, it'll make "wiki life" harder for you in many aspects and ways. My user talk page is always open to you should you have questions, need input or advice, or if you're feeling frustrated and need someone neutral to step in and help. I'll be happy to assist. :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:43, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
@Oswah - hey, I'm getting frustrated and letting it out via sarcasm on the talk page for Juan Guaidó, specifically here - a pair of users who edit once a year have come out of hiding to be rude to me, I'd appreciate another voice?

While you are doing that
You recently reverted my edit on the Venezuela crisis. Yes my edit was in good faith and designed to improve the article - thanks for mentioning that. While you are re-organising the references to substantiate what the article says can you also try to make the article read a lot better? It is like a dog's breakfast at the moment. I suppose this is because a lot is happening quickly and no one is taking ownership of the overall look of the article. Here are a few points that I noticed in the few minutes that that I spent looking at it:
1. There is a lot of repetition which could be removed
2. Why mention what other countries are doing in a sub-section entitled "United States"
3. I would be surprised if you found a source which said that Maduro had asked ALL Americans to leave the country - I think he restricted himself to US diplomats. I think I read somewhere that the US government may have suggested that US citizens would be better of leaving the country for safety reasons. Perhaps this is what was meant.
Anyway have fun with the editing.Burrobert (talk) 15:22, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, yeah it's a bit of a mess. Will try to help clean, but it would need to calm down or have a major edit tag stuck on it! Nice catch with the Americans, will fix (unless you've done it!) Kingsif (talk) 16:05, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Archiving on Juan Guaidó
I noticed you undid my revert of cluebot III automatic archiving on Talk:Juan Guaidó. I moved the threads from the archives as the the automatic archiving was clearly incorrectly configured. SandyGeorgia's edit summary when setting the archiving from 25 days to 30 hours implies that she did not know that the age was measured in hours. None of the threads on the talk page were older than 15 days, so, if the archive was correctly configured, none would have been archived until February. Furthermore, one of the archived threads was an open edit request, which needs to be responded to. I have moved the threads back to the talk page in the meantime. Danski454 (talk) 20:04, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
- Many of them were disruptive or trolls and should have ideally been archived to allow for productive discussion - I believe the open edit request is also one of those. By moving them back, remember, you reset the clock, so they'll now be some of the last to be archived! If you could re-revert to the archive, that would be great. Kingsif (talk) 20:09, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
- You are correct that I read incorrectly the parameters on the autoarchiving, but the threads archived are old and of little use, the talk page is cluttered, and my misunderstanding of the parameter is not a reason to unarchive the gibberish that has overtaken the talk page. An open edit request could be reinstated if it has not been responded to, but I do not agree with reversing the entire archival, which was necessary. Please revert yourself, and seek consensus on talk. It is not helpful for a very active talk page to have multiple sections on the same thing or already addressed edit requests. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:11, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
- I have re-archived everything except the open edit request and the Humor in the midst of it all section (the two most recently opened threads) Danski454 (talk) 20:20, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks-- that is most helpful and appreciated! I am taking a break for now. I got all the External link sources at least worked in to the article, but the flow/chronology need work. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:45, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

What you call "heavily name-dropping sources" on wikipedida is referred to as WP:ATTRIBUTION, see also WP:QUOTE. All direct quotes should be attributed. I'm typically not very good at doing that, but I try. I also choose generally to use quotes from notable people.
Also, I try to keep articles I edit and watch up to standard vis-a-vis policy and guideline. You used no edit summary on this edit, but the text contains old accessdates, suggesting that you may have taken the text from other articles. Whenever you are copying text from one article to another, you should include that information, and a link to the article you copied from, in the edit summary.
Thanks for attempting better section headings on the media quotes ... I struggled with that for a long time, and for NPOV, also spent hours scouring the internet trying to find something negative on the dude. There's not much! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:55, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- 1. are we not allowed humorous edit reasons? I clearly wasn't criticizing, there's no good reason to pick up on that. In fact, if you read the full edit reason it would be evident that it was being used in context to say "I understand why this was put under this heading, i.e. has a lot of media names in it, but it's not exactly correct". Honestly. 2. from the eswiki article on Guaidó, a parallel update that doesn't require attribution since the pages are already linked.
- I think you can tell I'm not unfamiliar with Wikipedia, so why say such? Kingsif (talk) 20:35, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- Actually, I expected you might appreciate the tips. It's generally not good practice to edit other people's comments,[1]. And I'm glad to hear your intent was humorous! Thanks again for the section headings. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:53, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
In my experience, auto-archiving doesn't work on articles with a very high level of activity. If archiving faster than 7 days is necessary, it's best to do it manually with OneClickArchiver. power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:50, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
- Agree ... and thanks for the aggressive archiving! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:54, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

- Aw, man - get well soon! Kingsif (talk) 22:20, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
- Almost better now, but it was a killer. By the way, at first, I was disappointed in how much better the es.wiki articles are than ours on these bios. But on closer examination, I have found they are full of errors-- small and large. So I am not trying to translate from them, but I do look at their sources for starting points. Will get on those two later today. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:23, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
- Glad it's better! I think the main issue with es wiki is that there are fewer editors, and only a handful of dedicated ones. The active ones are usually absolutely stellar at taking on as much as they can - but if it is a bit too much for the en wiki editors, imagine the overload over there. I sometimes feel I should contribute more to it. Kingsif (talk) 22:36, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Photo
Kingsif, could you look at this response to my ping at Elcobbola's talk on commons? During the years I was the Featured Articles delegate, Elcobbola was the number one image reviewer, and I respect his opinions on images to the utmost. I managed to never have to dig in to any commons/image stuff, because I had so many excellent people on it at FAC, so I never really learned it thoroughly (actually, image stuff scares the crap out of me, because I don't want to violate copyright!) Notice his reasoning. I questioned my own lawyer about whether the word "entity" might typically be used to describe a person; he said never. So it is beginning to look like that image is gonna have to go. It seems like someone should be able to write to someone and just get a better image. Maybe me if I find time! Or @ZiaLater: or @Jamez42:. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:37, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
- Read, sure. There are other pictures of Guaidó, that one was just ideal because of the quality. We could use some of the others on commons. Kingsif (talk) 14:59, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
- I Hate Image issues :) Just keeping you in the loop. I will be out again most of the day ... SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:04, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
By the way: have a look at the images here: Maduro is facing to the left so he should have been placed on the other side of Guaido, so that he is facing the entire article instead of having his back to Guiado ... just in case we end up with another combined photo, that's a Manual of Style thingie. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:10, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Don't want to cause an edit conflict while you have the article in use, but I see errors I left:
- I left off a citation in the Venezuela section-- that is the VOX article (ref name= VOXTroika)

RS vs "in the news"
Figured I'd respond on your talk page instead of dragging out the discussion at ITN/C. Not trying to be condescending, just trying to make my point, which was: There was no doubt that the story is being covered by WP:RS, but that is not the same as a story being "in the news". I look to the big aggregators Google and Bing, and the main pages of various sources to see if a story is featured. This one wasn't. --LaserLegs (talk) 14:17, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Killing Eve Sorry Baby S2 poster.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Killing Eve Sorry Baby S2 poster.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

WP:CEN is now open!
To all interested parties: Now that it has a proper shortcut, the current events noticeboard has now officially opened for discussion!
WP:CEN came about as an idea I explored through a request for comment that closed last March. Recent research has re-opened the debate on Wikipedia's role in a changing faster-paced internet. Questions of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:Recentism are still floating around. That being said, there are still plenty of articles to write and hopefully this noticeboard can positively contribute to that critical process.
Thank you for your participation in the RFC, and I hope to see you at WP:CEN soon! –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 19:05, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
New page reviewer granted
Hi Kingsif. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encylopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
- Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance. so that they are aware.
- You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
- If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
- Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. ~Swarm~ {sting} 03:56, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
Welcome to New Page Patrol!

| Welcome, Kingsif to the New Page Patrol team.
Congratulations on receiving the New Page Patrol user permission and on becoming a part of the patroller community. Our mission is to accurately, rather than quickly, handle the new articles which are created. As you begin to patrol it's natural to have lots of questions. Feel free to ask on my talk page or ask for thoughts in the New Page Patroller IRC channel #wikimedia-npp connect or on our Discord server (invite link). We also regularly discuss issues and topics surrounding New Page Patrolling at the NPP discussion page and I would invite you to join us there. I hope you find NPP as rewarding as I do and, again, welcome to the community. ___CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 06:39, 5 July 2019 (UTC) |
New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019
Hello Kingsif/Archives,
- WMF at work on NPP Improvements
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
- QUALITY of REVIEWING
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
- Backlog
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
- Move to draft
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
- Notifying users
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
- PERM
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
- Other news
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.
Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Aura Rivas
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 Draft:Aura Rivas requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.venevision.com/estrella/aura-rivas. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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 "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 deleted 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.

- @Sphilbrick: It was a copy of the Spanish wikipedia page es:Aura Rivas, actually, and I checked, wasn't a (complete) direct translation anyway. Oops? Kingsif (talk) 13:36, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
- Kingsif, Well it wasn't properly identified, which doesn't mean that it deserves deletion for a technical violation, but I confess I'm confused. It is started for a Spanish article, it's still in Spanish so what sort of translation occurred? . We don't host Spanish articles in EN WP, so what's the goal? If it exists in ES WP, then what is the value of this article? S Philbrick(Talk) 14:20, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

- Kingsif, Well it wasn't properly identified, which doesn't mean that it deserves deletion for a technical violation, but I confess I'm confused. It is started for a Spanish article, it's still in Spanish so what sort of translation occurred? . We don't host Spanish articles in EN WP, so what's the goal? If it exists in ES WP, then what is the value of this article? S Philbrick(Talk) 14:20, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Mohammad Rafiq in connection to Bærum mosque shooting
Hi,
I contested the speedy deletion of Muhammad Rafiq (retired army). What is the main concern here? Multiple sources coverage are not enough to recognize the credibility? The deeds by the person are also commented as heroic in almost all media outlet that covered the story due to the nature of what happened, so it is challenging to be competently 'neutral' in such a piece of writing. Any suggestion is appreciated. Sattar91 (talk) 13:03, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Sattar91: Thanks for coming to ask! I think a lot of the issues come from the level of translation/quality of writing: it's not up to WP standard, which can easily obscure meaning, or mean that you've used more powerful language than you originally intended. I could rewrite it into good English and try to improve on it, but I don't feel the biography meets WP notability anyway. Kingsif (talk) 13:59, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Muhammad Rafiq (retired army)
Hello Kingsif. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Muhammad Rafiq (retired army), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: quite possibly WP:BLP1E but also clearly covered extensively in reliable sources, so take it to WP:AFD instead. Thank you. SoWhy 13:06, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello:
I am in the middle of copy editing this as you requested at the GOCE. Would you like to wait until I am finished the copy edit or would you like me to stop?
Twofingered Typist (talk) 20:13, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Twofingered Typist: Oh, I didn't know you were. I know you're at GOCE, but I saw no template on the page or message on talk page saying you were going to give it a copyedit. I thought you were passing and saw something you wanted to fix. So each time there's been another edit, I've been surprised... and then gone to correct small mistakes generally about facts that you've obscured. Maybe you can ce without changing facts and stuff? Kingsif (talk) 20:22, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
- There is a note on the GOCE Requests page I am working on it. Restoring the spacing of the notes is incorrect, they are not spaced like that. If you say "two otherfilms" you can use "the first" and "the second" - implies it was shown last. The word "directorship" has nothing to do with filmmaking - hence the change.
"[V]ariously suggesting different likelihoods" - this is awkward English. Nothing wrong with my suggested edit.
Your last corrections "(don't think Trujillo hired a guy after he was dead, and he's not the only one; made stops around Venezuela before Colombia; "not only... also" set phrasing, and change 'for' to 'as' (for implies truth, as allows for mere appearance) because we know it isn't true even though they published it)" are just wrong. Do you mind me asking if English is your first langauge? Your corrections are making the article worse. Perhaps this is an article another editor should work on since you don't appear to accept any of my edits. Twofingered Typist (talk) 20:45, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Twofingered Typist: Since I was born in England, literally have an English degree (and grad cert), and teach people the language, I do mind a little, yes. Do you really think I'd be so ballsy at corrections otherwise? But I don't hold the ask against you, because that's in England, which may be why you think it's awkward, and likely why I think yours is bad - I got the grad cert in the US, and me and professors went over differences a lot. Like, I thought American was different but comprehensible, not realising there are so many places where there are opposing wrongs and rights. And, no, please continue: you are improving it and I have seen and appreciated your work before, a lot of the rephrasings I know are better, I just wouldn't have come up with myself because they're generally constructed differently to how I normally write and think (sucks that WP only likes American style); FYI I'd written out that last set of edits before I read your message, but hit submit afterwards because of a rl discussion.
- (My view on the edits you mention: removing the spacing shoved all the text together, making it hard to understand since there are two languages used. In peer review, the spacing was complimented as easing readability. With the two films, it is talking about the two French ones, but there were four overall - the 'first' French film was shown first, the 'other' French one was shown fourth, not second, which is what your edit implied. Direction implies, like, artistic direction, which obviously isn't what the section is about - other words welcome. About 'likelikhood' edit: you put "likelihood or not", which is wrong, I'm pretty sure on this one no matter location, because there's always a likelihood - something can be "likely or not", but you can't qualify likelihood because it's a noun, not an adverb - "likelihood or unlikelihood" would be correct)
- Perhaps we can discuss more the changes so you can assure me what I think is a mistake isn't actually wrong - this might aid my own editing, too! Kingsif (talk) 21:00, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
- My apologies for asking if English is your first language, it's just that some of the phrasing is not any version of English - British, American, Indian or Canadian - in my opinion. I will go back through the article again and leave detailed notes for each correction. You can then do with the as you will. As the article stands now, it would not pas FAC. Twofingered Typist (talk) 22:07, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
- What do I say to that? Glad you weren't my thesis examiner? (haha!) Maybe formal British English could be something you're unfamiliar with, then? Though I personally also have the annoying habit of using the passive voice for everything, it's how I think and thus write. Haha, I know it would not, don't worry about that. Any improvements - (as said, apologies for before, genuinely thought it was a drive-by and as primary author I should try maintain it) - would be super appreciated, thanks.

Un célebre especialista...
Hello:
I've now completed the c/e of Un célebre especialista.... I have a couple of observations if I may. Despite the fact a GA reviewer liked how the Notes were set up, I doubt this will fly at an FA review. I suggest you format them as I did and if you are concerned about readability put "Review text" and "English" in bold type.
I have reinstated "Director" instead of "Directorship". I checked many online dictionaries and can find no use of "directorship" except as it relates to the running of a corporation. Perhaps a better heading would be "Production"?
In the "Modern Critical Views" section you quote Farrell suggesting the film led to many more being produced. Then this sentence: "However, Michael Chanan suggests that Venezuela was typical of Latin American nations, many of which did not follow early films with continued production." This apparently contradicts Farrell. Does Chanan mean films for entertainment rather than propaganda? Then this sentence- "Chanan also uses a case study to show that some early documentaries were missing for many decades, which suggests there may be a rich trove of hidden historical films."-where he is contradicting himself. I think adding "of films for entertainment" to the "Chanan suggests" sentence might make this clearer.
Best of luck going forward with the FAR.

Hi, I posted some arguments for RM/BMS article merger on the RM TP, not being aware, until now, of the Deletion Discussion Page, fool that I am.

There's actually a separate article on the word "quisling" used derogatively (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quisling), giving this tale of origin: "... who headed a domestic Nazi collaborationist regime during World War II". I find that precise, succinct, NPOV, and avoiding all the slightly agitprop terms of my BOLD. Work already done for editors, what's not to like. I'll leave it at that. Even more of the best.

Any version that you deem accurate and not using controversial terminology should be good. Kingsif (talk) 12:54, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for those kind words, sir (or ... "zir", just in case, these days). I shall then proceed to speak of VQ in Wikipedias voice. Be warned, I'll also move the word "online" to the beginning of the sentence, to make it state that the BMS Baddie did things online, and not that VQ collaborated with the Nazis online. Nuances, nuances. I hope this meets with approval; in any case, pls check. Best of the best to you. T 85.166.160.249 (talk) 21:22, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

A guy for hours
Did you bleep the Mayor of Philadelphia to make him suggest people with time to kill are harmless, relative to infinite ammo codes? InedibleHulk (talk) 13:53, August 16, 2019 (UTC)
- I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but I think it's if I wrote the info about him to suggest people are harmless but guns/ammo are not? Sorry if that's a misinterpretation. To answer that: I added his quote as it appeared in the source, where he said that police shouldn't have to face people shooting at them with infinite guns and bullets. I also made a comment on the talk page about how the incident could influence national dialogues on gun control, which may be related to the mayor's statement. I didn't mean - and I wouldn't think the mayor did, for that matter - to say that the shooter was "harmless". Kingsif (talk) 14:01, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
- @InedibleHulk: ah, I now looked at the edit history and see what you mean. I guess I felt the important part of the statement was the rhetoric about weapons, since "a guy" is quite general (not saying, e.g. "someone with the intent to kill") and "for hours" is implied by the "infinite" part. But I acknowledge there is value in including the whole statement, sorry to seem like I was trying to make a different narrative of the quote, I definitely wasn't - I know the discussion is too sensitive to be manipulating it. Sorry for not just including the whole quote first time to avoid that perception and potentially misleading readers. Kingsif (talk) 14:12, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
- Best to leave quote butchery to news editors, kind of verges on OR otherwise, even misrepresentation of living people and what they decide is important enough in their own responses. Apology accepted, no hard feelings! Finite things like one guy or eight hours are the opposite of infinity, though (just saying). InedibleHulk (talk) 14:22, August 16, 2019 (UTC)

Film awards
Hi. Please see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Film#Accolades - the award/festival must have its own article to demonstrate notability. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 17:21, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Lugnuts: I have seen that, thanks. (and I thought ELCO had an article but I couldn't find it.) But if we can IAR for reasoning, I just think that being as big and important as other festivals there are pages for, and based in the nation the film is from, should warrant inclusion - there are very few Venezuelan film-related articles, and I'm part of a WP taskforce to expand that. But other users removing names and redlinks for articles that would be useful doesn't help. The awards are quite notable and add good context about the growth of filmmaking in Venezuela.
- Maybe I'll look harder for the ELCO article or start translating the pages from es.wiki, but I'd rather you didn't remove anything more. I have seen big US films articles with accolade sections that list plenty tiny article-less festivals in amongst their Cannes and BAFTAs, so removing half the list on a small Venezuelan film seems unnecessary. Kingsif (talk) 17:51, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi. The text at MOSFILM is clear - "Awards included in lists should have a Wikipedia article to demonstrate notability." This has been debated at length. If you disagree, or think it needs changing, then please start a discussion at WT:FILM. This is a WP:CONSENSUS, so please do not edit war against it. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 17:54, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Lugnuts: Dude, none of your comments have been in anything like a friendly tone, which makes it really hard for people to listen to you. If you'd casually put in your first edit comment "I get it, but a consensus for style really wants an article", folk are going to be more receptive. And hey, I'm saying that your rule is not very well enforced, and is discriminatory against non-US or European films. In some cases, it improves WP to ignore it. Changing it, since I, you know, read it before you came and told me to, I don't think would be smart because people would claim that a tiny fest they started was notable and then try to base notability for their non-notable passion films on that. But when the awards are clearly notable, and just don't have an article because they're in an obscure country, the line blurs. Kingsif (talk) 18:00, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
- Please don't call me "dude". Notability is black-and-white. If these awards are so notable, then create the article for them. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 18:03, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Lugnuts: Just trying to be friendly, things get done so much more smoothly.

- @Lugnuts: No, I don't have anything against an MOS and I respect consensus, especially after long, tough, discussions. I'm not trying to shoehorn and I don't like that assertion; I made a very good compromise, with the festivals not even named and the short statement that it won other things reliably sourced to news - sure, we don't include everything, but a mention of a fact from an RS doesn't seem unreasonable. If you don't want to be friendly, you don't have to try - the sentence I added is not against the MOS, and we both know it. It's over, okay. Kingsif (talk) 18:41, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019
Hello Kingsif/Archives,
- Backlog
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
- Coordinator
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
- This month's refresher course
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
- Deletion tags
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
- Paid editing
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
- Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
- Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
- Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.
- Not English
- A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.
- Tools
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.
DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

The Monroe Doctrine (1896 film) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, The Monroe Doctrine (1896 film), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... discospinster talk 20:05, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

GAN and the bot
Kingsif, thanks for all the GA reviewing you've been doing.
I noticed you had a query recently about the bot not putting a GA icon on the article you'd recently passed. Legobot, the bot that handles GAN processing at the moment, is a long-standing and not-well-supported bot with a number of idiosyncracies. There's hope that we'll get a new bot someday, but for now, here's how the bot works and why this particular issue is occurring.
Legobot expects that it will have done certain steps along the way. When a reviewer first creates the review page, Legobot, which runs every 20 minutes, notices that a new review page has been created, and as part of its tasks, goes to the article talk page, inserts "onreview" into the GA nominee template's status parameter, and transcludes the new review page at the bottom of the talk page. If someone else gets there first and inserts "onreview" or "onhold" prior to the bot putting in "onreview" itself, the bot thinks there's a problem. Or, at least, it doesn't add the review transclusion, because the status field is filled, so its work must have been done already. So when it comes time for later changes, in particular the end of the review where the GA nominee template is replaced by the GA or FailedGA template (indicating the review passed or failed), it doesn't recognize the review as passing or failing because everything it expects isn't in place; instead, it treats it as a "Miscellaneous" action (according to Legobot's edit summary) and simply removes the entry from the GAN page, so there is no message to the nominator of passing or failing nor (if passing) adding an icon to the article.
The key thing, going forward, is to not add "onreview" yourself to the GA nominee template—it should never be necessary when opening a review. Ideally, if your initial review goes straight to a hold, you wait to add the "onhold" (no space) until the bot has had a chance to add "onreview" first, but it can be inconvenient to wait around for that. Perhaps doing an initial save of a near-empty review page to create it, and then writing the review and saving again, will allow enough time for the bot to do its initial work.
Should we ever get a new bot, this may not be an issue, but for now the bot has its expectations, and it helps to follow the process it expects. Another example: the top section of the review page should not be specially modified during creation or afterward, since the bot parses it for reviewer information that it then puts in the GAN-page entry. Bots are great time-savers, but they're essentially limited in what they can deal with.
Sorry this wasn't better news, but at least now you'll know. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to try to answer them. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:22, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for the explanation - I've seen it miss other pages before but could never figure out why! Kingsif (talk) 19:13, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

US Banknote Contest |

| November-December 2019 | ||

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here | ||

2019 Grays incident - Taoiseach and Dáil Éireann
Hi, in the paragraph quoting Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, the phrase "the Dáil Éireann" sounds odd because in Ireland we usually refer to it in English as "the Dáil" or "Dáil Éireann" but it would be unusual to say "the Dáil Éireann". The upper house is usually referred to as "the Seanad" or "an Seanad". ("An" being the appropriate definite article in Irish.) Together the two houses are known as "Tithe an Oireachtais" (roughly: houses of the assembly of free men) or "the Oireachtas" (even though technically the latter includes the President also). . Autarch (talk) 22:04, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Wasn't exactly kidding
If read literally, there was nothing funny about the "gallows humour" at Grays. The transport trailer really is the star this time, not the cab. As long as you appreciate this on that factual level, I suppose deleting the film-like undertones doesn't hurt anyone. I can't figure out a thumbs up, either, but I think I can make a camel. 🐫? InedibleHulk (talk) 21:14, October 24, 2019 (UTC)
- Ooh, I like the camel. Yeah, we have to look at from the view of people who'd come across it and just see tastelessness. Kingsif (talk) 09:59, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
- So many people, so many views. I tried considering the feelings of people who think life is some precious gift you only get once and should cling desperately to at all costs for as long as humanly possible. Figured they were the majority, and seeing the phrase "right-to-die advocate" might stir up feelings of how it's right to die. So I went with "cripple suicide". I know "cripple" went out of style alongside lame, dumb and retarded, but what the hell was I supposed to say? "Disabled suicide"? Makes no sense because it was also "assisted suicide". Paradoxical, no? Looking back, "differently-enabled suicide" might have worked on both levels, but then there's this third level of thinker who'd think I was trying to be "cute" or "clever" at the expense of a recently fallen Olympic champion who won her gold medal with a broken freakin' neck!
- So many levels, so much polite intent, and for what? Buddy missed the point of my "there, there" entirely. He thought I was saying he was no better than one of those strict Catholic cryptkeepers who don't take kindly to shoveling dirt atop no quittin' folk. Or one of those Italians who still blame Germany, or one of those Germans who still blame Italy. I gave him seven types of bigots who might share his perceived discomfort to show him he'll never suffer his slight indignity alone, and he mistook them each for seven types I think he equals. All because of damned online empathy.
- He's an admin, too, so that's just another level of shit I was in no way prepared to foresee. Things like this just didn't used to happen when I was an actual dick. Getting old and kindly is weird, K-Dog. Do you mind if I call you K-Dog? Whatever. All I know is you like your camel and I like my 🐑. Let's see someone try to get that fact of life twisted!

There are now 816 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards.
- Coordinator
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
- This month's refresher course
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
- Tools
- It is now possible to select new pages by date range. This was requested by reviewers who want to patrol from the middle of the list.
- It is now also possible for accredited reviewers to put any article back into the New Pages Feed for re-review. The link is under 'Tools' in the side bar.
- Reviewer Feedback
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
- Second set of eyes
- Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work, especially while some routine tagging for deletion can still be carried out by non NPR holders and inexperienced users. Read about it at the Monitoring the system section in the tutorial. If you come across such editors doing good work, don't hesitate to encourage them to apply for NPR.
- Do be sure to have our talk page on your watchlist. There are often items that require reviewers' special attention, such as to watch out for pages by known socks or disruptive editors, technical issues and new developments, and of course to provide advice for other reviewers.
- Arbitration Committee
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
- Community Wish list
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

add image for 7 November Bolivian protests
Hello, I am Hanafi455. thank you for editing the article about 7 November bolivian protest which states about protesters attack patrica ace and Vinto's town hall that was burned down. But can you upload the image about the information? If you can, you can upload it to the article. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hanafi455 (talk • contribs) 13:29, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Hanafi455: Could you try this again, I don't understand what you're trying to say? Kingsif (talk) 13:48, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Kingsif: Can you upload the image about a sentence 'Bolivia mayor has hair forcibly cut by crowd of protesters'. it is very interesting to add the image to wiki article. i have the link from BBC news. [2] Hanafi455 (talk) 14:05, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Hanafi455: Ah, got it. Unfortunately, we can't add just any image. There aren't free ones at the BBC article, as much as images are interesting. I'm pretty good at finding free images, but this is quite a specific moment so I'm not sure they exist. Only in certain circumstances can non-free images be uploaded, and since this article has plenty free images already, this wouldn't be one. Kingsif (talk) 14:23, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Using edit summaries to summarize edits
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.
Thanks! El_C 17:38, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

- @El C: Is that a contentious edit? Nobody leaves reasons for every edit, and I like to think I do it more than the average, but I don't see any reason to WP:TEMPLAR me for one non-contentious no-reason edit among a list of hundreds on the same article. Kingsif (talk) 17:45, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- I have no idea if it is contentious, but Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make. El_C 17:47, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- I'll try to remember if you don't template me for every no-reason edit. There'd be a backlog. Kingsif (talk) 17:52, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- Okay, but you are still doing it. Why not set it up so that you are reminded automatically? El_C 17:58, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- Because, honestly, I will click dismiss anyway and the reminder would annoy me. A little pain when editing that I would not like at all. It's an honest answer, if not what you're after. And I can't believe you approach every editor who doesn't leave a reason for every edit, since it's got to be in the region of 100%, so I feel this is a pointless mission. Kingsif (talk) 18:03, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- I don't. I saw you making substantive edits without an edit summary attached and I thought I would bring the matter to your attention. It's just respectful of other editors to try to always include an edit summary and I'm surprised you're even arguing against it or continuing to ignore this advise immediately after being reminded of this issue. Oh well. El_C 18:07, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- Well, I guess thank you - I don't like being templated but I can see when it's a polite suggestion. I'm pushing against because I know of no editor who always uses edit reasons, and I find pop-up edit reminders annoying, so I'm trying to explain why suggesting this to anyone is effectively not worth it. Kingsif (talk) 18:09, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- Well, I, for one, use edit summaries in virtually every edit I submit, but that's besides the point. I used the template (which as far as warning templates go is pretty tame) because it has the auto-reminder instruction in it, an option which I thought might be helpful to you. At any case, I think we have exhausted the usefulness of this conversation. Thanks for taking the time. El_C 18:16, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
I do appreciate it, having civil discussions about WP functions. Thanks, too. Kingsif (talk) 18:18, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

DYK for Venezuelan cinema in the 1890s
On 13 November 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Venezuelan cinema in the 1890s, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that subjects of Venezuelan films of the 1890s include a dentist pulling teeth in a hotel and a man getting into a brawl with a stagecoach driver? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Venezuelan cinema in the 1890s. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Venezuelan cinema in the 1890s), 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.

Hillel Day School - may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for geographic features?
Hello Kingsif.
Can you please clarify what you mean by adding maintenance tag {{notability|1=Places|date=November 2019}} in that school article? WP:NGEO isn't applicable to schools.
Now on notability of Hillel Day School. WP:NSCHOOL says schools must satisfy either WP:ORG or WP:GNG, or both. I invite you to check the sources supporting school's notability: Hillel Day School#References.
Thank you, Yymmff (talk) 03:06, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Yymmff: Because there isn't a tag for 'school', so I went with 'place'. Apparently that manifested as 'geographic feature'. Please note that having sources doesn't necessarily make something notable. I just reviewed the page, I don't have any investment into doing any research. Kingsif (talk) 03:34, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Calvin Brown
Hello Jonathunder,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Calvin Brown for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
Kingsif (talk) 15:19, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- Please check the page history before any deletion. For a decade, it was a redirect to Calvin L. Brown, which is not promotional. Jonathunder (talk) 21:05, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- It was a different page about a different person, which has since been deleted and the old Calvin L Brown article now moved to Calvin Brown, it seems. Kingsif (talk) 21:14, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Jonathunder: for future reference, please respond on the original talkpage, rather than copy-pasting the entire message to someone else's. Kingsif (talk) 21:15, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- I put it here so you would see it. As you may have noticed, I'm not new here. Jonathunder (talk) 21:23, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
Yes, but you are still entirely missing the point. Calvin Brown had always been a redirect to Calvin L. Brown since I created both of them ten years ago. This month another newbie made one of them into a promotional page and you promptly marked it for speedy deletion without looking at the history. I have undone all that, so no harm done, but going forward, please just look at the history before deleting things. Jonathunder (talk) 21:40, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
Latin American Spring
Hey Kingsif. I think we have encountered a similar problem as the one we had with the Venezuelan refugee crisis article. With the Latin American Spring, it occurred in two waves according to sources, just like how the refugee crisis has happened in waves. The 2019 Latin American protests is currently the second wave. I see that there are current concerns about 2018 events transferring over to 2019. That is a valid concern, as the second wave of the "spring" began in 2018.
This is a possible scenario going forward:
- Maintain a main Latin American Spring article
- Expand the post-2015 section involving the Odebrecht scandal on the main article
- Expand the 2019 Latin American protests (2018-19 Latin American protests?) section on the main article
- Continue with expanding the 2019 protests article
Just wanted you to take a look at everything and see what you think!----ZiaLater (talk) 16:38, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note! I think that's an ideal course of action. I am particularly in favour of changing the main page section to 2018-2019. It seems quite complex, and some of the background from the 2019 article may need to be moved back to the main page? (I'm also grateful you're doing a lot of work, though perhaps we could post for assistance in WikiProject LatAm?) Kingsif (talk) 16:42, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:House of Flowers The Funeral poster.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:House of Flowers The Funeral poster.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:42, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to [email protected], so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected].
Thank you!

Request for arbitration of Áñez political position anti-indigenous source debate
In response to your request for arbitration of this issue, the Arbitration Committee has agreed that arbitration is not required at this stage. Arbitration on Wikipedia is a lengthy, complicated process that involves the unilateral adjudication of a dispute by an elected committee. Although the Committee's decisions can be useful to certain disputes, in many cases the actual process of arbitration is unenjoyable and time-consuming. Moreover, for most disputes the community maintains an effective set of mechanisms for reaching a compromise or resolving a grievance.
Disputes among editors regarding the content of an article should use structured discussion on the talk page between the disputing editors. However, requests for comment, third opinions and other venues are available if discussion alone does not yield a consensus. The dispute resolution noticeboard also exists as a method of resolving content disputes that aren't easily resolved with talk page discussion.
In all cases, you should review Wikipedia:Dispute resolution to learn more about resolving disputes on Wikipedia. The English Wikipedia community has many venues for resolving disputes and grievances, and it is important to explore them instead of requesting arbitration in the first instance. For more information on the process of arbitration, please see the Arbitration Policy and the Guide to Arbitration. I hope this advice is useful, and please do not hesitate to contact a member of the community if you have more questions. CodeLyokotalk 01:15, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Recent dynamic IP edits
Hello. Because of the last edits by the dynamic IP, I wanted to give an advice to patroll these edits. You may know that dynamic IPs change constantly. They usually consists in around 31 characters divided by colons (eg: 0000:1111:222:3333:4444:5555:6666). To see all the edits between these changes, you can look after the "range" of the IP, replacing the last four sections with a zero, followed and ended with "/64" (eg: 0000:1111:222:0:0:0:0/64). This means that the last IP's range is written as 2600:1700:720:8340:0:0:0:0/64 (list of edits), although it seems that there have not been edits besides the ones belonging to the original IP. I think you're currently a more active editor than I am, so I trust your judgement and capacity to keep an eye on this if you wish.
If you want to, you may also want to familiarize yourself with the sockpuppet investigations of Apollo The Logician. Best regards! --Jamez42 (talk) 22:20, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks - it's alright, though the IP range has been blocked on a few Wikipedias, I think it's just someone who is trying to be a nuisance. Since they've had their moment of mischief they probably won't be back. Kingsif (talk) 22:23, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

- Don't sweat it, I'm gla to know I was able to help :) Just keep in mind that you may be blocked without warning for violating 3RR, even if these are reverts to an IP. Happy editing! --Jamez42 (talk) 13:07, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Edit conflict on 2019 Latin American protests
There is a source linking 2019 protests to a similar world dynamic. It would be wise to let the community edit the article freely, you do not have to personally agree with each line of the article. It's Wikipedia strength to pic knowledge and view from various references. There is a source looking at these protests as a global trend, let this source be cited. Yug (talk) 23:43, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for this help. It's appreciate and as wiki is intended to work. Yug (talk) 23:47, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
- (edit conflict)It doesn't seem relevant, because your expansion is about the world issues - which are so varied it's still highly debatable that any protests are related - this doesn't warrant being listed on a regional article. And some are definitely false - the defining aspects of protests in LatAm are arson and a political leader, which differs greatly. I do let the community edit freely, please don't accuse me of otherwise when I am clearly removing what seems to be a bad edit. I have now corrected it (extensively) and will happily discuss with you and anyone else at the article talk page about its inclusion. There was at some point mention of other protests influencing different elements - I maintain that no excess world coverage is needed, which what you added certainly is.

| Sorry for my behavior at the "A Tree Grows in Guadalajara" GAN, and thank you for the review. You raised a lot of important points that would need to be addressed to improve the article. I have been incredibly stressed lately, but that is no excuse for my behavior. While I do not agree with all of your suggestions, I really do appreciate the time and energy you took to do the review in the first place. I wish you the best of luck with everything on and off Wikipedia. I have retired from Wikipedia, but if I ever do return (I will at least take a year off), I hope that we can work together. Again, just wanted to offer my apologies. Aoba47 (talk) 03:46, 11 December 2019 (UTC) |

- I take full responsibility so you have no need to apologize. I have just been somewhat stressed lately so I should have stepped back to calm down and taken the opportunity to collaborate with you. I really do appreciate how you opened up a space for collaboration with the GAN, and really tried to engage and improve the article (which admittedly was quite rough). Maybe one day, I will go back and revise it better, but you of course are free to work on it as much as you would like (you would probably be better at it then myself). Again, just wanted to apologize and you take care too! Aoba47 (talk) 00:15, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

@Epicgenius: You'll see I've started; I'm going to take a break because I have read a lot of long articles today, but I'll leave you with it, and I'm sure you'll notice other things in the parts I've yet to review :) Kingsif (talk) 03:36, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

- Oh, wow, a whole year! I can only hope that, while working in about the same articles, I've certainly got better at editing! Thank you, again, and congrats on the Christmas DYKs Kingsif (talk) 11:08, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
Autopatrolled granted
Hi Kingsif, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Anarchyte (talk | work) 04:30, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
Translate
I would be glad if you could elaborate what you meant when u said the Abdullah Ebrahim page needs translation. If its the quoted text, it is accompanied by a parallel quote which gives a translation. 92.10.224.76 (talk) 22:23, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- @92.10.224.76: No, I mean that it seems to be a rough translation from another language and is so poor it barely makes sense in English. Kingsif (talk) 22:25, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Ok, i'll try to give it another shot. Is it better now? 92.10.224.76 (talk) 23:15, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- So here you have a governor in the longest-lasting anti-colonial movement in Africa that destroyed a third of Somalia's population, and you get a final say on what happens to it. Surely thats notable, but I'm going to expand it some bit. 92.10.224.76 (talk) 00:26, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, the article just needs to establish notability. You could have a king but if the article just says "he gave someone advice once", it isn't clear why the article is needed because it doesn't give any notable information. Thanks for expanding this article! Have you thought about making an account? Kingsif (talk) 00:28, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

If you could move this to special occasions for December 29 or 30, I'd appreciate it. The preps are filling up fast. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:38, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

- Ah, will remember that - I try to avoid anything that might confuse a bot, but if it works. Kingsif (talk) 21:46, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Wugbot won't be confused unless you're doing your move right at the time it does its own moves. It wakes up 12 times a day, every two hours, at the odd hours UTC (i.e., 01:00, 03:00, etc.), does any moving or deleting needed, and then goes back to sleep. It's also good to avoid 00:00, because that's when MusikBot moves the Current nominations section so it starts a day later. Both bots can be put off by conflicting edits.

New Page Review newsletter December 2019
- Reviewer of the Year
This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

- Redirect autopatrol
A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
- Source Guide Discussion
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
- This month's refresher course
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

Changing direct quotes
Hi Kingsif. I see you undid my recent change to Don't I Know You? Please be aware that making minor changes to quotes is acceptable. Firstly you will see that the original editor has replaced 'Weberwiese Station' with '[platform]'. You will also find information here as to when quotes may be corrected. I quote; Note that MOS:QUOTE says that "trivial spelling and typographic errors should simply be corrected without comment..." In this case I have changed your 'sic' entry to encapsulate the word in question. This helps tools with their functional processing. Regards Neils51 (talk) 21:37, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
Caracas Metro route diagram templates
Hello Kingsif, I see you reverted my edit at Caracas Metro line 1 RDT, however it's the common practice for these diagrams to use the blue set of BSicons for urban rail transit - light rail and rapid transit, regardless of whether they're underground or not - and the red set for main railway lines. The five metro lines in Metro de Caracas's system are full fledged rapid transit, all operating with an homogeneous technological standard (ROW, rolling stock, signalling, etc.): using the color of the icons to differentiate them in the diagrams because of one being actual underground
and the other ones are not, is rather incongruous - as well as quite arbitrary, since AFAIK also line 4 lies entirely under the ground. In order to point out that this specific line run partly above ground (although, to be fair, it mostly doesn't: a couple of stations out of 22 in total is less than 10%), there are specific icons for tunnel (
, 
, 
, etc.) that can be used to describe this feature. Regards and best wishes for happy Holidays, Yak79 2.0 (talk) 12:08, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for updating again - sorry, after seeing this I would have, but I started editing other things and forgot. Are you able to do the others and/or check if all the symbols are accurate? Kingsif (talk) 16:41, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello Kingsif. I have addressed some of the items on the New Albion GAN which you may see HERE. I appreciate your assistance, and will be working further on the article. How soon that will be is uncertain as my travel preparations are taking much of my time.

- (Talk page watcher) Sorry for jumping in, but I wanted to comment that I'd be happy to help as well. I'd only ask care with original research. Best wishes and happy new year :) --Jamez42 (talk) 13:14, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Kingsif: Hola, feliz año! En realidad yo no sé manejar muy bien Wikipedia, y en parte, es por ello que solicito un poco de ayuda para la creación del articulo. Incluso no sabia que esta podría ser una vía para enviar mensajes. Pero si te es cómodo por aquí comunicarnos y manejar la investigación y el contenido que pueda incluirse en el articulo, me parece excelente, no tengo ningún problema. Un saludo!
- @James42: Hey, Happy New Year! Yes, of course you can, we need all the help possible. I've been doing some research about the theme, by myself. I imagine you don't speak Spanish, right? Cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danieldealba99 (talk • contribs)
- @Danieldealba99: I do :) It is my native language, but I'm writing in English since I gather it isn't Kingsif's, even though they speak it well. Are we talking about a translation to the Spanish Wikipedia? Happy New Year and cheers! --Jamez42 (talk) 17:13, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Jamez42: Mine too, Jamez, I'm from Venezuela. Well, I think it's a good idea have an article in both languages, so that more Venezuelans could read the information we could get.
- @Danieldealba99 and Jamez42: (Thanks, Jamez, very kind) Yes, if Daniel wants to start the page on either English or Spanish, I'm sure we can do some research. @Daniel, have you thought of joining the Venezuela Wikiproject? /Si Daniel quiere empezar a un articulo en wikipedia (ingles o espanol), creo que nos podemos investigar. @Daniel, se pense en participar en el wikiproject venezuela?

- @Kingsif: Thanks, Kingsif! I'll read about it later
- @Danieldealba99 and Jamez42: So where do we start? I would like to first plan the structure of the article, see what points we can touch, to finish it according to my opinion, with a list of television productions that have included LGBT plots and the characters+actors that have represented these stories.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Danieldealba99 (talk • contribs)
- @Danieldealba99: I would recommend to use a similar structure to the Venezuelan LGBT+ cinema article, and I would suggest a division of sections with decades, depending on how much content there is. I assume the main difference is that this article would be focused merely on television, while the former only deals with cinema. --Jamez42 (talk) 10:28, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Danieldealba99 and Jamez42: I agree with Jamez, if you want to look at similar articles. We could also consider merging the two into an LGBT+ culture in Venezuela article, if you think it's appropriate? Kingsif (talk) 15:36, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- también encontré este [8] Kingsif (talk) 16:02, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Kingsif and Jamez42: I recently read your article, Kingsif, and it seemed very cool... You did an excellent job. I also think that if we merge them into a single article, we would have to include other elements of LGBT culture in the country, such as Daniel Arzola's artistic work against homophobia and other things I hope we could research.--Danieldealba99 (talk) 18:04, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Kingsif: I can't open the link you sent, Kingsif. What is it about?--Danieldealba99 (talk) 18:04, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Danieldealba99: this might work - it's a link to a specific page, so it has a time out. It can be downloaded and saved. It's "Después de Piero: la representación gay en la televisión venezolana" by Noelia Depaoli in Latinoamérica Libre y Multicultural: Memorias del XVI FELAA - it is also available here. Another journal article may be this. Kingsif (talk) 18:22, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Kingsif: Okay, I could download the first article. I'm going to read it and see what I can extract that can be used. The second, on the other hand, I tried to get to read it, but it is difficult for me.
- @Kingsif and Jamez42: By the way, I've been researching LGBT content on the most recent Venezuelan soap operas, watching them properly. I have a list with the name of the productions and the actors who played each roles of people from the community. --Danieldealba99 (talk) 01:02, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Kingsif and Jamez42: Hi everyone. I could read the first article. Basically, it says that the first Latin American gay character appeared in a Venezuelan soap opera; He mentions that this character had no major influence on the general plot, and that his inclusion was either to reaffirm the masculinity of the male protagonist, or to include an element produced by the zeitgeist in the soap opera (it should be noted that the production was Cristal, released in 1985)
- In addition, it makes a review of the character of a program of Venezuelan sketches Radio Rochela. The character, Charly Mata, could contribute to perpetuating a heterosexistic image of the homosexual man (the character did innuendos about his sexuality, had exaggerated feminine mannerisms and used to make sounds alluding to penetration). This character was very popular, and I find it interesting that he could include the article, by recounting it as the negative image that the Venezuelan citizen has in his collective imagination about someone who belongs to the LGBT community, and how this can generate a judgment on any character LGBT that is included in a Venezuelan production, which can eventually generate a rejection of the character or the soap opera or television series. --Danieldealba99 (talk) 15:46, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Danieldealba99: That's a useful article then? And you've done a great job summarizing it; did you want to start a draft we could work on? Then we could have a discussion whether to merge the pages into a culture one, you made some good suggestions there, too. Kingsif (talk) 17:47, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Kingsif: Yes, I think it's a useful article. We could use its content in the introductory aspect; a kind of background about the first characters associated with the LGBT community. And yes! I want to start a draft so we could work on. What other info you think it would be necessary to search to add in the article? Thank you very much, Kingsif, I do what I can.--Danieldealba99 (talk) 19:41, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Danieldealba99: The most important thing to get on is the history, I think. A list of shows, too. You can start it at Draft:Venezuelan LGBT+ television to match the cinema article, if you like, and we can contribute whatever we find! Kingsif (talk) 20:56, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Kingsif: Good, thank you so much! Hope we can do it together.--Danieldealba99 (talk) 22:16, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Danieldealba99: I would recommend to use a similar structure to the Venezuelan LGBT+ cinema article, and I would suggest a division of sections with decades, depending on how much content there is.

GA reviewing
Kingsif, I noticed your very generous offer to take on GA reviews by request under certain circumstances, and I was wondering whether that might extend to nominations that have been effectively abandoned by their original reviewers and need someone to take over. Some of these are quite old, and may need what amounts to a complete new review; some are old but progress had been made on addressing issues before the reviewer disappeared.
If you're willing, I can post links to a few of the oldest ones below, along with a summary of their current situation; if any strike your fancy, it would be great if you could take them on when you have time. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:18, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: Sure! I'm happy to help, I might not take up some longer articles for a little while to prevent a headache, but I've tried to pluck some old ones out of the pile recently and will happily review some more :) Kingsif (talk) 19:28, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- Kingsif, that's wonderful. Here are a couple of the oldest that have lost reviewers:
- Talk:Trench (album)/GA1: nominated last year on December 30, and review opened on April 12 of this year (over eight months ago), it has been abandoned by both nominator and reviewer (nothing since September), but one of the major contributors has offered to take on the task of responding to issues raised by a new reviewer. I put out a call a while ago for a second opinion/reviewer, but no response.
- Talk:History of Tobago/GA1: nominated back in March, and review opened on August 23. The reviewer has abandoned it, and while Aircorn offered to put it on their list, said list is long. I'm sure no one would mind if you were interested and able to get to it soon. This is a long one.
- Thanks again! BlueMoonset (talk) 20:10, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
- Adding another that's been abandoned by its reviewer since August (it's another long one, but you did so well wth the first two that I'm hoping you'll have time for this one as well):
- Talk:Zoroastrianism/GA2: nominated back in July and review opened on August 1 and last posted to by the reviewer on August 2. I asked for a second opinion/review a week ago, but no one has stepped up. Thanks again. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:47, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Talk:The Life of Pablo/GA1: nominated back in September and reviewed-and-passed a month later by a first-time reviewer who didn't know what they were doing; ultimately, they agreed that the review should be reopened after I pointed out a number of issues with the article and criteria, and it's been waiting for a new reviewer ever since. I hope you can take care of this one; I had even left a place at the bottom for the new review. Thanks yet again. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:03, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
-
- You're very welcome. ;-) In the spirit of a Happy New Year, I'm proposing a new one that's also been shamefully neglected:
- Talk:Goodbye (Spice Girls song)/GA1 was nominated last January. The review was opened and one suggestion made on September 7, the only post from the reviewer since was on November 21, promising an immediate return. I have posted reminders on the reviewer's talk page to no avail, and am just about to post a final one saying that a new reviewer will be taking over; I'm hoping you'll be willing to be that reviewer. I've just added a new section for whatever reviewer comes along. Thank you so much. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:13, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- Talk:Self-managed social centres in the United Kingdom/GA1: this is another review abandoned by the same reviewer as Zoroastrianism; the original nomination was on June 30 and review opened on August 2. The nominator had gone looking for a new reviewer four months ago, and I just discovered that fact and was hoping you might be able to take this on one sometime this month. Thanks again! BlueMoonset (talk) 19:03, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- Kingsif, it's wonderful that you've taken these all on. There are one or two more that I'm waiting to see whether they'll need a replacement reviewer, and another that just came open:
- Talk:Elizabethan Religious Settlement/GA1 was nominated back in August, and opened by a first-time reviewer on November 29 who started with "Opposed" rather than actually reviewing against the GA criteria because they thought it was a just-perm-blocked editor who made the nomination, when it wasn't anything of the sort. They haven't returned since. I've just gotten permission from said reviewer on their talk page to hand this off to someone else, and I'm hoping you can do the honors. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:23, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- Kingsif, that's wonderful. Here are a couple of the oldest that have lost reviewers:
Incomplete DYK nomination
Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Cieneguillas prison riots at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; if you would like to continue, please link the nomination to the nominations page as described in step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 10:02, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- Kingsif, if you could please tag the page with the {{db-g7}} template (since it's no longer eligible for DYK now that it has been running at ITN), it will be deleted—there's no need for it to be closed if it never was transcluded in the first place.

Melani Olivares pictures
The picture of Melani Olivares in Template:Did you know nominations/Welcome to the Family (2018 TV series) was bothering me as a little dark, so I thought I would lighten it; then I realized it was from a video, and I thought I might be able to find a better frame. I am afraid I went a bit nuts; but I do think at least one of these will be better than the original. Your choice! --GRuban (talk) 17:44, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

- @GRuban: Thanks! The original image of her was very dark and I tried to brighten it without distortion, but I don't have Illustrator on this computer :( Any of those are great, whichever looks most natural per MOS:IMAGES (perhaps not the thoughtful one, as she's looking away) Really nice job, too, thanks.

I think it is more meaningful to use the screenshot, than a logo cutout. Neither of the two images really has an exceptional quality. But it happens, that the screenshot really shows what the series logo looks like. Which in this case is red and with capital letters.BRADFORD talk 09:55, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- I kind of agree, but the title card isn't in the commons folder - it's a free image, but I'd wait until it was on commons (if you're able to move it or otherwise upload to commons, that would be great!) - this is also my preference, wanting it on commons, so you can still use it.

Ana Lucrecia Taglioretti
Hi! I haven't had the chance to thank you for your insight in the AN/I. :) Thanks.
I just translated the Ana Lucrecia Taglioretti article, a blind Paraguayan violinist, from Spanish into English after learning that Women in Red had "Women who died in 2019" as a theme this month.
Taglioretti died his year and I'm not sure if it is still in the scope of the month, but I was wondering if you were interested with doing some proofreading as well as one of your delightful DYK nominations.
Best regards and many thanks in advance! --Jamez42 (talk) 15:18, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- Of course! I'm sure WIR will appreciate it - I'm still looking for sources for Karla Luzbel, amazing who doesn't have an article. Kingsif (talk) 17:57, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you so much :) I've also read that Taglioretti was victim of domestic abuse, but I haven't found sources about it. If you'd like to start the article before January ends, let me know so I can try finding more sources. Best wishes! --Jamez42 (talk) 21:06, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- I haven't found anything about that, either. I'm currently looking through archive news, to see if there's anything else unusual. Kingsif (talk) 21:24, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Venezuela articles
Thanks for your note on my talk page and interest in cooperative WP:NPOV work that improves the articles when we are both there. Yes, I might join the Venezuela project and try to post messages at the noticeboard there when there are disagreements and we need more eyes.
I think it is only fair to let you know that at times I have had similar concerns about your ability to summarize WP:RS neutrally when it comes to articles related to Juan Guaido, Nicholas Maduro, Crisis in Venezuela, etc. I noticed this early on when I put an neutrality issue on Juan Guaido. In trying to understand how the article got to be the way it was at the time, I saw edits from you like this that seemed to me to show a pro-Guaido bias not representative of the WP:RS, particularly writing in Wiki voice that "he was sworn in" when the RS says that he swore himself in at a public rally--to the surprise of some people on the stage with him--and that few Venezuelan's knew who he was when he did this, because he never ran for President and was only recently elevated to the be head of the Assembly. I think that article and many others about the politics have a pro-Guaido bias, and I believe that your edits have contributed to that to some extent.
That said, I don't think your edits compare to my concerns I expressed in the recent AN/I case I filed about another editor.
I should also point out that I have been concerned about the systematic elimination of WP:RS that is critical of Guaido and supportive of Maduro. (I believe others have said it was elimination of sources that are anti-war--which may also be true.) I explained at WP:RS/N:
- I agree we need to stop these RfC's that are eliminating all WP:RS that is critical of U.S. regime change efforts in Venezuela. The same group of editors who dominate the Venezuela pages (e.g. [9]) have been eliminating these sources one-by-one with their !iVotes and often citing a connection to or supportive views of Maduro, e.g. Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR),TeleSUR, Venezuelanalysis, Grayzone, HispanTV. * * * --David Tornheim (talk) 13:48, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
When I wrote that, although I did not identify any specific editors, you were one of the editors I was concerned about because of your early !votes against Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) (vote #4), TeleSUR (vote #4), HispanTV (vote #4). All of your edits to RS/N are limited to these sources: TeleSURTeleSURTeleSurHispanTVCEPRCEPRCEPR, except FOIA request. Although your reasoning may be otherwise, it gives me the impression that you (and some of the others who are active on Venezuelan politics) might have voted that way because you do not like the reporting that is critical of Guaido or supportive of Maduro or might be "too leftist". I find this reasoning for declaring a source completely or mostly unreliable a big problem not just for the Venezuela articles but for all of the project, especially if we want to be WP:NPOV and present all significant points of view. A number of other editors agreed with me that those RfC's declaring sources unreliable are a big problem. --David Tornheim (talk) 01:08, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- @David Tornheim: Thanks for replying, and for an open one, too. I can see where your concerns come from, don't worry. Of course, on at least one page someone accused me of writing up entirely pro-Maduro biases, and I try to be neutral within what I think are RS - I've recently been stopping IPs from removing info about Luis Parra in the AN election, too - it can be challenging. I also acknowledge that RS can have a Western bias. I don't partake much at RfC but I find it is a big problem with Venezuelan sources, not least because when I stumble on an unfamiliar website/newspaper I often have no idea if it will be torn apart as awful. So I look to fact checking and editorial process, which is why some of those sources (all, I think, actually) I wouldn't use and suggest others don't. For my personal views on the issues, if it helps, I have said before that my only investment is it would be really nice if Venezuela finds stability, for the security of people I know who are across the political spectrum: I disagree with the US tactics because they seem invested in the opposite, and I don't have much of an opinion on the claimants to President. When the news mentions human rights abuses and similar, I try to write it accurately, and I think I've certainly got better - that's what I hope for, at least. You specifically mention the phrasing on Guaidó's swearing in, and for this please take the explanation that I thought it sounded better than 'swore himself in', which is awkward phrasing, and not an attempt to make it sound more or less anything than the truth (note that you link a change to that phrasing by SandyGeorgia, but I think I will have done the same somewhere in that history). As for anything about discarding sources by political affiliation, I recognize everything and everyone has different, mostly legitimate, views and it would be wrong to say 'no left/right news' in the same way it would with countries, etc. And I'm politically left, albeit in the West, take your views on that however you like.
- As said, and if you've looked through my edits you'll have seen, I've been pushing to get discussion going or back up. I can't and don't want to be making edits that are too bold, and discussions die quickly, especially when no sides budge. If you're happy to contribute, that's great. I'll take it there are no specific issues with the US intervention articles? With them being both very broad and very political, it wouldn't be the first place I'd want to jump into editing.

MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 21:15, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
The test you just added is impressive. beautifully written. However I need to point out that one of the sources you used, Artepoli, offers artists the chance to publish a paid critical review for around 67 Euros. "ARTEPOLI offers: The possibility of presenting a criticism, review or article about his work (maximum 800 words) for printing with at least 2 photographs of his paintings (or fragment, in the case of one of them, if it is beneficial for design). The article would occupy double page. If the text is smaller (600 words, for example) there is an opportunity to incorporate a third work or to increase its size." So it is clearly not a relaible source. Reliable sources do not offer paid placement of reviews. Also, you deleted a source I had added.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:33, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- @ThatMontrealIP: Oh no! I'll rework with just the other source, then. Sorry, I commented out the exhibitions until more sources surfaced. I'll add that one back. Kingsif (talk) 00:35, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah these predatory art journals are everywhere! Here is the link to the 66 Euro offer. I have fallen for them once or twice.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:37, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- I'll leave you revert of my removal of colectorsomnis.com. However that is the third bad source that you added, so you might want to check sources more carefully before adding them. The first bad source was the paid review site, the second a wiki style artist promotion site, and colectorsomnis.com is an art dealer. I can see the interest in saving an article, but please watch the source quality. Colectorsomnis.com is a commercial enterprise, and it does not help much.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:21, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- Do you want the rationale for Colector Somnis? Since you've left it, I assume you accept the primary source function, and this is necessary because it's not infrequent that there are debates about Catalan vs. Spanish as nationality. I saw it, was going to discard it as not having much (I fundamentally disagree that art dealers are poor sources - they likely know a lot about artworks as facts, though opinions on them could likely be biased, not that this is sourcing either of those things) and then noticed the nationality and thought it would help. Same with the birthday, since that source looked to have been edited by the subject. Primary sources are still sources. I'm usually the one being pretty harsh on sources, but thanks for taking an interest. Kingsif (talk) 02:34, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
@ThatMontrealIP: Are we considering Artepoli completely non-RS; I can't remember if the other article was in the print magazine, but this, with more bio of Novella, as well, was in the print publish version, with an author's name, so seems like this is a proper editorial piece. I only ask because you seem to know about the source. Kingsif (talk) 04:48, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- I would say any publication that published paid critical reviews for $ is suspect. Same as Forbes. I objected to the primary source as it is only the name and the country, and it is published by a dealer. It is not much of a source. We don't need to get too far into this though, as the article is not garnering support at AfD, and, based on my experience there, will be deleted.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:52, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Excuse me, @Kingsif:. Do not allow editing that false information in the article 2019 Latin American protests is a Wikipedia policy? Maintaining a map with false information is a Wikipedia policy? Pretending that Belize and Guyana is part Latin America is a Wikipedia policy? If it is not a revolution, why does the article have the Revolution banner? It has important contradictions with the Wikipedia information in Spanish, and gives a distorted idea of the phenomenon.

More GA reviewing
Kingsif, thanks again for taking on all of the reviews I've passed along to you. I thought it was time to let that one archive and start a new one, if that's okay.
I'm just requesting one at the moment, and it's a bit of an awkward one. We have a new reviewer (who is also a new editor altogether) who bit off more than they could chew (for background see WT:GA#New reviewer); they've passed a number of nominations in reviews with very little commentary, or that miss basic issues. Their first review was summarily reversed, this was their second review, which was opened and passed in just under an hour and subsequently nominated at DYK. The DYK reviewer marked this as problematic due to the kerfuffle regarding the GA reviewer, which I hadn't seen because I check the GAN talk page (where this discussion should have gone) and when I went to check the article a few hours ago I found the prose anything but "clear and concise" with clear grammatical issues. Under the circumstances, I reversed the pass and reopened the nomination. I'm hoping you'll be willing to take it on; I couldn't tell whether the problems were fixable with a good copyedit (a GOCE request, perhaps), or more fundamental, but I thought it needed an experienced reviewer regardless.
- 3rd Congress of the Indonesian Democratic Party (the original review was at Talk:3rd Congress of the Indonesian Democratic Party/GA1, though the new review will go under /GA2)
Thank you for whatever you can do here. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:42, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- I'll take a look :) Kingsif (talk) 12:17, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- Belated thanks for doing so. I've come across another one that it would be great if you could take a look. Nominated and review opened in November, the reviewer has said this month that they won't be able to continue (Talk:Dangerous (Michael Jackson album)/GA2). The nominator was going to look for a new reviewer, but it's been nearly two weeks without any further posts, so perhaps you'd be interested in become a new reviewer there? There's another review open by the same reviewer, but it was posted to by them as recently as December 15 (Talk:Princess Fiona/GA1). Maybe you could inquire as to whether a new reviewer would be welcome there—this is much older than the other one, having been nominated in March 2019 and the review opened mid-October. Thanks again! BlueMoonset (talk) 08:28, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
- You've been so good, being willing to take these on. Here's one more, that was opened five months ago and has been languishing for the last four: Talk:MacGyver (2016 TV series, season 1)/GA1. A possible successor to TRM hasn't been able to get started even after seven weeks (see thread here), so I was hoping you could give it some attention. Many thanks as always. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:14, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- I was just pinged by the reviewer on Talk:Véhicule Blindé Léger/GA1, which was nominated back in July and its review has been open for four months. If at some point you have time to take over on this one, that would be wonderful. Thank you so much. (If you find yourself getting overloaded, just let me know and I'll take a breather from posting here.) BlueMoonset (talk) 03:22, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
- You've been so good, being willing to take these on. Here's one more, that was opened five months ago and has been languishing for the last four: Talk:MacGyver (2016 TV series, season 1)/GA1. A possible successor to TRM hasn't been able to get started even after seven weeks (see thread here), so I was hoping you could give it some attention. Many thanks as always. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:14, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- Belated thanks for doing so. I've come across another one that it would be great if you could take a look. Nominated and review opened in November, the reviewer has said this month that they won't be able to continue (Talk:Dangerous (Michael Jackson album)/GA2). The nominator was going to look for a new reviewer, but it's been nearly two weeks without any further posts, so perhaps you'd be interested in become a new reviewer there? There's another review open by the same reviewer, but it was posted to by them as recently as December 15 (Talk:Princess Fiona/GA1). Maybe you could inquire as to whether a new reviewer would be welcome there—this is much older than the other one, having been nominated in March 2019 and the review opened mid-October. Thanks again!

Ga reviews
Hi Kingsif,
I noticed you adressed the issues on some of the articles on this discussion NR regarding Minecrafter0271. I was wondering if you could do the same for the others, giving some insight and improves that could be done. Finesse, Punk Rock Girl, George W. Bush 2000 presidential campaign and Bruno Mars: 24K Magic Live at the Apollo. I would do it myself but I'm an interested third party on this one.

DYK for That's the Woman I Want
On 1 February 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article That's the Woman I Want, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that marketing for the Venezuelan film That's the Woman I Want told prospective viewers it was so funny they would forget about foot-and-mouth disease? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/That's the Woman I Want. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, That's the Woman I Want), 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.

OAS, Bolivia.
Did you actually read the source I gave? I provided the citation at the end of the sentence. It's page 56 of the (Spanish) OAS report. I'm going to reinstate my edit because your criticism is baseless. The sample composition is given explicitly in the report. All I've done is repeat and cite it. (For brevity, I ignored one of the OAS's conditions - greater than 99% vote share in actas processed after the TREP interruption - because it's only a subgroup of the >=90% condition.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Futurebum (talk • contribs) 20:00, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

La Casa de las Flores
Sorry, but I'm not the one who contributes with unsourced/false information and excessively detailed information for the lead. Template is used for albums, hence the title "album ratings". As for the template reviews, they are only for one season and are already mentioned in the text. All of the review templates are not necessary if the reviews are already mentioned. −αΣn=1NDi[n][Σj∈C{i}Fji[n − 1]+Fexti[(n^−1)] 15:37, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Sebastian James: The album ratings template is used on featured and good articles for TV episodes and seasons (like San Junipero, last time I checked - the quality rating kind of sets a precedent so not just OtherStuffExists)... you should have kept this at the article talk page. What you made was a BOLD edit, I reverted it. Under Bold, Revert, Discuss, if good faith is assumed then you discuss it. You don't assert your correctness. You don't then come to my user page to bring up your opinions on other parts of my editing to intimidate me. Sebastian, your reputation precedes you and it's not a positive one, but I didn't bring this up and still thought you might have some consideration. If you want to keep pushing, leave the page at stable version, and get discussion on controversial edits, like a community-based editor. Don't reply here, keeping at article talk page helps for discussion history in one place. Kingsif (talk) 00:50, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

GA review check request
Kingsif, I was wondering whether you could look at Talk:Alan Dershowitz/GA1. It was taken by a first-time reviewer and said to be passed after a few hours, but the reviewer was so inexperienced they still haven't actually passed it. In the edit before they opened the review they nominated The Right Side of History at GAN, which turned out to be far from meeting the GA criteria when it was reviewed at Talk:The Right Side of History/GA1. It's this clear lack of understanding regarding their own article, plus not finding any issue at all (not even a missing comma), that raised alarm bells with me.
Thanks for whatever you can do here. It seemed a good idea, given how prominent the subject has been lately, to be careful. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:47, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: Oh, wow, Dershowitz. That's got to be a long article. I'll take a look later today. Kingsif (talk) 19:56, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020
Hello Kingsif/Archives,
- Source Guide Discussion
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
- Redirects
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
- Discussions and Resources
- There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
- A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
- A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
- A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.
- Refresher
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

WikiCup 2020 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 57 contestants qualifying. We have abolished the groups this year, so to qualify for Round 3 you will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
Epicgenius, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with a featured article, five good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 895 points.
Gog the Mild came next with 464 points, from a featured article, two good articles and a number of reviews, the main theme being naval warfare.
Raymie was in third place with 419 points, garnered from one good article and an impressive 34 DYKs on radio and TV stations in the United States.
Harrias came next at 414, with a featured article and three good articles, an English civil war battle specialist.
CaptainEek was in fifth place with 405 points, mostly garnered from bringing Cactus wren to featured article status.- The top ten contestants at the end of Round 1 all scored over 200 points; they also included L293D,
Kingsif, 
Enwebb, 
Lee Vilenski and 
CAPTAIN MEDUSA. Seven of the top ten contestants in Round 1 are new to the WikiCup.
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. In Round 1 there were four featured articles, one featured list and two featured pictures, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. Between them, contestants completed 127 good article reviews, nearly a hundred more than the 43 good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Contestants also claimed for 40 featured article / featured list reviews, and most even remembered to mention their WikiCup participation in their reviews (a requirement).
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

There was an error in the WikiCup 2020 March newsletter; 
L293D should not have been included in the list of top ten scorers in Round 1 (they led the list last year), instead, Dunkleosteus77 should have been included, having garnered 334 points from five good articles on animals, living or extinct, and various reviews.

FA reviewing
Is there a particular type of review you would like me to explain performing? There are content, image, and source reviews. You can of course do multiple to a single nomination. Typically three content, one image, and one source review are the minimum needed for an article to pass. I can go over the differences in my GA and FA content reviewing style, if that would be the most helpful. Sorry I was so late getting back to you on this! Kees08 (Talk) 20:53, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
- Perhaps the GA/FA reviewing differences would be a good place to start? No worries about the time! Kingsif (talk) 22:04, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
- I have been putting this off for no good reason, so I am going to start rambling and hopefully some of it will be useful.
- A couple of big differences if you are doing just the content review. You don't have to review the images for copyright, etc, although it can be good to make sure there aren't any sandwiching issues. You also don't have to look at the source formatting, but I personally consider that part of my content review. I am much more picky reviewing source formatting in an FA: does every source that can have an ISBN have one? Do the ISBNs have dashes in them or not (should be consistent)?
- For source reviews, new nominators are required to have a 'spot check' done to make sure the sources support the material. I personally spot check experienced nominators too.
- One key to reviewing FAs is reading other's reviews, and putting some of your own articles through if you can. You start to notice things you did not notice before. Is every item in the infobox cited either in the prose or in the infobox itself?
- Most articles should be well written at this stage, especially if nominated by an experienced nominator. I find it helpful to look if the nominator has had successful nominations before and if English is their first language. If it is not, then I might look harder at the prose.
- Definitely add the Wikipedia:Nominations viewer if you have not, the page is unreadable without it.
- When just getting started with reviews, I would pick one that is maybe 5 to 10 down the queue. Newer than that, and the article might have substantial issues and could be archived. Older than that, and it might be things that more experienced reviewers are finding problems with.
- Do not feel discouraged if you support and later somebody swings by, opposes, and says the initial reviews were not good enough. It is going to happen, it has happened to me even recently, just try not to take it personally.
- I think reviewing articles at that level requires additional tools. In my scripts, I use the following:
- importScript('User:Anomie/linkclassifier.js'); // Linkback: User:Anomie/linkclassifier.js
- importStylesheet('User:Anomie/linkclassifier.css'); // Linkback: User:Anomie/linkclassifier.css
- This one lets me easily see DABs and redirects. Redirects are sometimes okay, but I find it more helpful for immediately identifying DABs.
- importScript('User:Ucucha/duplinks.js'); // User:Ucucha/duplinks
- Highlights when things are overlinked in an article. Sometimes if an article is long enough it can be okay to wikilink multiple times, but that's the exception and not the rule. You can read other's reviews and you'll see overlinking mentioned, usually identified with this tool.
- importScript('User:Ucucha/HarvErrors.js');
- Identifies if harv style citations are properly linked to their citations and will display big red warnings if they are not. Only works if a template is used though, not if a plain text citation is used
- That's all the rambles I have for right now; might I suggest reviewing SounderBruce's article Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Interstate 82/archive1? They typically have high quality articles, you might not find much to change in it.
- Let me know if there are any specific questions about what I wrote about or any questions about reviewing FAs in general. I found that putting one through FA really helped, and then just going in and trying, to be the most helpful. Kees08 (Talk) 17:01, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
New Albion article update
Hello Kingsif. I have able to continue on the New Albion article improvement and have just restructured a section formerly known as Background, and I did so using your suggestions and encouragement. When you have a moment, please peruse that section. Kind regards, Hu Nhu (talk) 10:26, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll take a look! Kingsif (talk) 20:14, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hello Kingsif. This is simply a message to keep you updated on the New Albion article. I've restructured much of it, and I believe that the article organization is good at this point. You'll notice a major difference relates to the Coast Miwok and the land a climate sections as they appeared in the old article. I removed much, especially from the land a climate and combined the two into one section; consequently, I found that the new combined section seemed out of place. So, I moved it to an earlier position in the article and believe it fits well. I am still working on the end of the article as it relates to the Plate of Brass hoax and colony speculation. I may need to return home country before I can adequately address those sections as I may need to locate source material which is cited, particularly regarding the Plate of Brass hoax. And I have continued on the overall tone of the article, too, and that will be addressed in the remaining sections as well when I am able to properly attend to them. Most kind regards,Hu Nhu (talk) 18:22, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

- @Jamez42: You might have seen this. I searched the film - the above instagram, some trailers, and a little news coverage came up. But the most reputable source seems to be Maduradas. Have you heard of it? Kingsif (talk) 20:26, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the ping! I'll notify the IP that I replied in your talk page. I've looked for more sources and found many articles, with different degrees of reliability:
- Maduradas
- Reporte Confidencial
- La sopa
- La Nación
- Nómadas con Raíces
- Gossip Vzla
- Idea.me (apparently primary source)
- The film was apparently released some weeks ago. Although I'd advice to wait for more coverage and it'd be excellent to include festival submissions, from what I've seen the film notability criteria is a little low compared to other categories, and there might be enough information to write about its basic information and production. I could try starting the article later. --Jamez42 (talk) 01:36, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Rollback granted
Hi Kingsif. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! – Juliancolton | Talk 14:09, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Flight Suspensions
Hello There,
As a recent changes patroller, I would like to know if we include "Suspended" after an airline's destination on an airport's WP article. A series of constant edits done by 188.174.167.5 (talk), appeared to be removing the "SUSPENDED" keyword after an airline's destination. (See Glasgow Airport)
A confrontation about this edit which could be found on my talk page, had 188.174.167.5 (talk) telling me that there is a particular 'consensus' on this issue.
I would like to know where exactly has this consensus been agreed upon, probably a link to a WP discussion could help.
Best Regards,
Denver Correia | Thank you ~:~:~:~ (talk) 15:29, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Denver20: Thanks for asking, I've looked at your talk page and the Glasgow Airport page. There is no consensus that I know of to not include 'suspended' when a flight route has indeed been suspended. However, the typical usage of 'suspended' in relation to flight routes suggests more permanency (like, Glasgow used to have flights Boston but has no plans to anymore). Of course, I wouldn't remove it from the article without a discussion, perhaps at the Impact of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic on aviation talk page (or at the WikiProject for more input), on whether it is appropriate in this situation, since most flights are grounded entirely. As a default, the 'suspended' should be kept until consensus is found. Kingsif (talk) 15:49, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
Thank you so much for your quick reply. Should I then go ahead and use the word "Suspended" on airline routes affected by the Corona Virus. I would also seek due permission to revert the edits by 188.174.167.5 wherever necessary to re-instate the word 'Suspended'.

GA review request
Kingsif, I know you're quite busy right now, and a new GA review opened by Happypillsjr may take a fair amount of your time as mentor to make sure it stays on track.
I was hoping however, that you'd be willing to take over the oldest review, Talk:Vastupala/GA1. It has been open for nearly ten months, and was originally nominated nearly five months before that (297 and 447 days respectively). Winged Blades of Godric has finally agreed, on their talk page, for me to find a new reviewer since they're not getting anywhere, so I'm turning to you. The nominator posted in February that they'd addressed all the issues previously raised, but some questions of the reviewer were never responded to and I imagine there's more the reviewer never covered.
Please let me know! Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:19, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, I'll do Vastupala now. I also didn't know Happypillsjr had opened a new review, but I'll look at that, too. Kingsif (talk) 15:28, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: I've reviewed Vastupala, which is the review that Happy's opened? Kingsif (talk) 23:10, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
- Kingsif, thanks so much for taking on Vastupala. Happy's review is Talk:Bx12 (New York City bus)/GA1, opened on March 15; they pinged you at the time (or at least tried), but nothing's been posted there beyond the opening sentence. Bx12 was the oldest unreviewed nomination at the time it was opened, and had waited for nearly ten months. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:38, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
- I held off on that review, because Kew Gardens 613 nominated it and they have a lot of real world stuff going on at the moment. I'll add it to my watchlist to see if either of them adds comments, and leave a message. Kingsif (talk) 23:50, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
- I'd noticed that Kew Gardens 613 said that they'd been busy, but then they went and nominated eleven new articles at GAN on March 13, so busy seems to be a relative term. (I think you were right to close the 1 subway article, and saw the generous offer you made while doing so.) I see you've started engaging Happypillsjr in the process on Bx12; I wish you the best of luck.
- Since I am here, I was wondering whether you might be able to return to Talk:Alan Dershowitz/GA1. There haven't been any responses to your request for second opinions, and the original reviewer there (who was way out of their league) hasn't edited in over four weeks, so I think it would be best if someone experienced took it on. If it isn't an imposition, you have already noted that you see some issues, but it's entirely up to you; while there isn't an enormous rush, the article was originally nominated at GAN almost thirteen months ago, so it would be nice to get closure on it before too much longer. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:06, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
- I saw that tonight you closed both Vastupala and Alan Dershowitz; it's a shame that in their nominators' more than 100 edits in the past week or more, none of them were to the articles they had under review. I would also like to suggest that since Happypillsjr has not edited their review in the same period despite their concentration on their own editing, that it should be strongly suggested to them that they should not attempt any more GA reviews, since it's clear that they don't understand what is needed and by their edits (or lack thereof) have not demonstrated interest in learning how to become a capable reviewer. A mentor can lead their mentee only so far; if the person who needs the help won't do the work necessary to learn, then to my mind they've forfeited their opportunity to participate. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:05, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, I think that Vastupala was a long way off meeting the criteria, and though Dershowitz was better, it had been left without any significant edits from before I added comments (the first time, even, I think). I'm always happy to take anything on twice should they come back up, though! I'll see what kind of message I can leave Happypillsjr, and what to do with any reviews they have open. Kingsif (talk) 03:09, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

New GA review request
Kingsif, earlier this month you took over an abandoned review, Talk:Battle of Arachova/GA1, and took it to completion. That same reviewer left another abandoned review, Talk:Raymond III, Count of Tripoli/GA1, last edited on February 16, and has made no Wikipedia edits since February 24. (The nominator responded on February 17 that they'd dealt with the issues raised, and the reviewer had indicated that it was just about ready to be approved, but it's been hanging since then.) If you could finish it off, that would be great. It's the last review left hanging by this reviewer. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:36, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
After you're done with that, I was wondering whether you'd be willing to take on Talk:Martinus (son of Heraclius)/GA1, which is currently the oldest extant review, having been opened last August 10. The previous reviewer, who has been doing very little on Wikipedia for a while, has said this is unlikely to change, and is okay with me finding someone new. If you can, that could be great. (If you can't, I'll keep looking.) Thanks again! BlueMoonset (talk) 01:52, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: This got a little buried, but I can definitely look at them. There's a backlog drive and a WikiCup running ;) Kingsif (talk) 00:04, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Yes on the just-begun drive and the WikiCup: I just added the tab for the GAN drive and put an announcement for it on the main WP:GAN page, all while capturing the starting totals for the drive and adding them to the page. (Who is leading the drive and who assisting is still in flux, but I imagine they'll figure it out soon.) Thanks for taking these two on. I'm not sure you'd get credit for Raymond if it is indeed almost done, but possibly for Martinus, if there's enough left to do that you think it's worth claiming.

Good Article Reassessments (GAR)
Kingsif, I noticed that you opened and closed a GAR on Flagstaff, Arizona, in a very short period of time. I'm afraid this is not allowed under the GAR process.
If you'll look on the WP:GAR page, you'll see that there are two forms of GARs: individual and community. Individual reassessments are actually far more efficient, but there are very definitive process requirements, including an extended period for comments and work from other people. Indeed, as the person conducting the reassessment, you are supposed to notify all of the interested parties (original nominator, most recent reviewer, perhaps the person who conducted the last reassessment (if it was an individual one), significant contributors, and all the relevant WikiProjects. Please be sure to follow all of the steps from 5 on down.
Even if an article is in rough shape, the goal of a reassessment is to try to get the article to the point that it meets the GA criteria again. This is not always possible in seven days, which is the minimum time you should allow the various stakeholders once they've been notified, to improve the article—and if they're making good progress, let them have more time as you would in a GAN review. If nothing happens in that week, or progress is too slow or the quality is clearly inadequate, then the reassessment can be closed and the article delisted, but it stays a GAN until the reassessment finally closes, at which point it either stays a GA or is delisted.
I did revert your delisting, so the reassessment remains open. Once you've notified all the parties—I've made upwards of a dozen on some reassessments I've opened—then the clock can start ticking. Best of luck!
PS: I'm not entirely sure that GARs count in the backlog drive, since the idea is to reduce the number of outstanding nominations, and a reassessment is another thing that actually adds to what needs to be done in the GA space. You might want to check with Harrias on that. Doing GARs is a good thing, regardless. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:57, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- I replied at the talk page, so I guess I don't need to go into more details here - but obviously thank you for AGF, as always. I've notified WikiProject Arizona and the editor who passed it most recently (in October 2007). Given it was 2007, that review isn't exactly comprehensive, and I don't know how interested the editor will be. The WikiProject, as I said, isn't particularly active, either. I'll continue trying to update it, myself, I hope that's allowed. I haven't added it to the backlog drive, no, I didn't think it would count either ;) Kingsif (talk) 02:01, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

DYK for 2020 Venezuelan National Assembly Delegated Committee election
On 11 April 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2020 Venezuelan National Assembly Delegated Committee election, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Juan Guaidó, president of the Venezuelan National Assembly, tried to climb over a fence to vote in the 2020 committee elections after being blocked from entering the building? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2020 Venezuelan National Assembly Delegated Committee election. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, 2020 Venezuelan National Assembly Delegated Committee election), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Additional GA review requests
Kingsif, in case you're looking for more abandoned GA reviews to take over, there are a number that could use attention. In some cases, a "second opinion" has been requested where it's really a call for a new reviewer, either because the reviewer disappeared or has withdrawn.
- Talk:Julius Nyerere/GA1: this review was opened on January 30 by a reviewer in their first edit in over two months and who hasn't edited since and never posted any actual review. A second opinion was requested by the nominator on March 9, with no response as yet. (The nomination was made on January 29, the day before it was picked up for review.)
- Talk:A Star Is Born (2018 film)/GA1: I had to intervene on this review since the reviewer was a first-timer, and clearly didn't know what they were doing (this was their only review and they haven't tried again). It needs an experienced reviewer to do the full review, and I was hoping you would take it on; I've done all I can.
I've made status queries on over half a dozen GA reviews that seem to have stalled; if any of these turn out to be because the reviewers are no longer interested, I'll be back to make additional requests.
I was also wondering whether you'd be interested in offering to mentor any newer reviewers. I realize things weren't very rewarding with Happypillsjr, but there are two reviewers where I recently reverted their passages of the GAs and reopened them because of what was missed. I have no idea whether they'd be interested, but I'm listing (and pinging) them below in case they are.
- Editoneer: the review I reopened was Talk:Love Island (American season 1)/GA1; you can see the issues they noted and the ones that I subsequently found. Editoneer has continued reviewing, and found more things in subsequent reviews, but they've requested a second opinion on their review at Talk:Okamoto syndrome/GA1 before concluding it, which I think is wise. Perhaps you can supply the second opinion and some guidance? Note that their second opinion request for Talk:Bangladesh/GA2 is a request for someone to take over the review. If you can do so, that's great, but I'd wait to make sure the nominators are working on what's already been noted (or you can make a statement to that effect if you offer to take over). BlueMoonset (talk) 20:10, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
- Jon698: the review I reopened was Talk:Mason Mathews/GA1; this was opened and passed in the same edit without any issues being raised, though the reviewer made edits to the article first. You can see what I raised after a skim through the article (there is probably more to be found). I haven't checked any of their other reviews against the articles involved, though three of the other four appear also to have been passed in the same manner.
Thank you very much for everything. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:10, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
Hey BlueMoon, I wanted to thank you for showing me the error in my ways and not treating me coldly. Editoneer (talk) 08:44, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: Someone else had already taken over Julius Nyerere by the time I took a look - I have done a review of Love Island and left a comment at A Star Is Born and Okamoto syndrome. The nominator of Bangladesh hasn't edited at all in over two weeks, I will leave a note at their talk page reminding them of the review. I'll also look at Jon698's reviews later, and may offer to mentor them, who knows. Kingsif (talk) 22:44, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
- Great that someone else has stepped forward for the Nyerere article. Thanks for reviewing Love Island and getting it over the line, and for checking those other two; I added a comment to Okamoto syndrome after yours, since MOS:LEAD is a GA criterion and one that the article clearly didn't meet (and the reviewer should have checked).
- I noticed that you are reviewing Talk:John Mathews (Augusta County)/GA1; the nominator is the same person as the one who nominated Talk:Mason Mathews/GA1, which I mentioned above. I had pointed out a number of things to be addressed, but it was a far from rigorous check. They've just posted that they've addressed these; I hope you don't mind, but since you've already said that you'll be looking at the review later, I'm going to tell them that you'll be doing a further check of the nomination in the coming days. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:22, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: Looking through Jon698's reviews, I have found Talk:Salzburg Conference/GA1 and Talk:1938 deportation of Jews from Slovakia/GA1, two quick passes on similar subjects, and Talk:Energy policy of Turkey/GA1, which had criteria 1 failed without much comment and has not been commented on in nearly a month – I also note that re. the first two, on Salzburg Conference the reviewer left a comment about how much they are personally interested in the subject, which is longer than the review itself. Would you like me to take a look at these? Kingsif (talk) 16:52, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
- Kingsif, I'm not sure. You might want to take a look at one of them to see if there are any clear issues or important things that were missed, with a view toward eventual mentorship if warranted. And speaking of mentorship, I notice that Happypillsjr has opened yet another review, this time Talk:M (New York City Subway service)/GA1. Clearly, they're ignoring your very strong suggestion on their talk page that they stop opening GA reviews because they aren't any good at it. If this one goes south the way the others have, we should think about asking at WT:GAN that they be banned from any further reviewing because it's clear they have no idea how to do so. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:31, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll have a glance at those articles. It's unfortunate that Happy has just started again, without even asking for help. I'll keep back and see how it goes. Kingsif (talk) 03:34, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- I should have looked more closely, Kingsif: the review at Talk:Energy policy of Turkey/GA1 actually says that the reviewer is waiting for a second opinion, so please provide one when you get the chance. (I've just changed the status from "onhold" to "2ndopinion" on the GA nominee template to reflect this.) Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:06, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- I noticed that Talk:M (New York City Subway service)/GA1 was almost passed today before wiser advice prevailed and it was put on hold instead. This review looks a little better than some previous ones, but still clearly lacking. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:45, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how improved that review was... the first comment is asking to change a perfectly fine sentence to one without an actual subject in it that doesn't make any sense. And the other comment is asking for two paragraphs to be rewritten without any reason why. And it didn't pick up on missing citations, who knows what other surface-level details could have been missed. I'll give the article a look and may add comments if I find anything serious, but Kew/epicgenius are pretty good at writing these articles. Kingsif (talk) 19:01, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for stepping up on DYK reviews
Kingsif, thanks for stepping up and dealing with so many older DYK reviews. It's much appreciated.
I wanted to check to be sure you were doing the neutrality checks on hook and article, reviewing the article sourcing (no unsourced paragraphs and no bare URL sources), and also the critical close paraphrasing/copyvio/plagiarism check. You probably are, but I didn't see any mention of it in your reviews that I glanced at when I realized someone was finally taking care of the older ones. It really helps when you mention doing those checks, because promoters to prep know that it has at least been checked by the reviewer. Lately, it's been hard to use Earwig's copyvio checker—it's frequently offline or incredibly slow—so spotchecking sources against the article is all one can do, really, unless you use the WMFLabs Dup Detector, which can compare one source against the article.
Thanks again! BlueMoonset (talk) 00:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- I have been, yes - earwig has been working for me the last few days, so I also felt it was a great time to knock out some reviews. I also realized part way through I hadn't been making notes of the QPQs, either, so sorry about that, too. I'll try to make sure I include everything in comments, from now :) Kingsif (talk) 00:43, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Renewed GA review request
Kingsif, I wasn't sure whether you'd noted that the nominator has become active at Talk:Bangladesh/GA2, so they are still around and are working on the original comments. If you can complete the review there, that would be great.
Oddly, I'm not seeing any other reviews that need another voice at the moment, though I have queried a couple of reviewers who haven't been around for a while, so that may not last. Thanks as always for your help. BlueMoonset (talk) 13:07, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- I'll take a look in, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Kingsif (talk) 16:45, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- I've just had a request on my talk page to find a new reviewer for Talk:Silver Line (MBTA)/GA2. The reviewer who took it on clearly was in over their head, and they've realized it and withdrawn. The article was originally nominated over six months ago, in mid-October 2019, so if you could take it on that would be great. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 13:27, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Featured Topic comments
Hey! Here is I think the main idea I would emphasize about the criteria for and nature of a good/featured topic: A lot of people who first hear about the idea say, "Well, there are at least three good articles related to <topic>, so I guess that's a Good Topic," but a G/FT has to fill a defined scope, and that scope can't just be "whatever articles happen to be at least G/FA". The idea, rather, is that you would ask yourself a priori, "What articles would need to be in a set to comprehensively cover this topic?", without any reference to whether those articles currently exist or are of high quality. Then, if all the articles you named do exist and are of at least GA quality, then you've got a Good Topic. If not, you can try to get them there! I just did this for Estuaries of Texas: I defined the scope as "the seven major estuaries along the Texas coast, as defined by the state", and then set out to get all of those articles to GA, and then nominated it.
So, your first step in creating a G/FT is to define its scope. The scope can be changed later; for example, recently we had a FT of all the battleships Germany ever built. Then, someone went and improved to FA-quality the articles about a handful of battleships that Germany ordered but that were never actually finished and launched. They then proposed, "Why don't we expand the scope of this topic to include these incomplete battleships, too?" And the proposal got support, and the topic was expanded. So, the scope of a topic can be expanded after the fact with a supplemental nomination, if there's a new, larger scope that also makes sense (and all the articles in it are of high enough quality). One good clue as to whether some articles are all part of a well-defined "topic" that one might conceive of a priori is that there would probably be a category named for the topic that would contain all of those articles! For this reason, Featured Topic Criterion 1(c) requires that the articles all share a common category or super-category.
So, if we were to define the scope of a topic about Manuel Trujillo Durán, what would its scope be? Since he's notable as a photographer and filmmaker, then probably all of his notable (or at least major) works; maybe also locations that played a key role in his life and career, if the articles clearly established that strong connection; possibly a key artistic collaborator? If all of these articles really had that strong a connection to him, then they would probably already be in a Category:Manuel Trujillo Durán, or at least it should make sense to create such a category and put them in it. As an example, the only G/FT I currently see about an artist or architect is Wikipedia:Featured topics/John Douglas, and it consists of his bio article and a series of feature lists of his notable works, so making a FL about Durán's works would be another good way to cover this scope.
Likewise, if we wanted to define the scope of a topic about Un célebre especialista ..., the only example I currently see of a topic about a specific film is Wikipedia:Featured topics/Evita (1996 film), which consists of the film's article, a FL of awards it received, a GA about its soundtrack (since it's a musical), and then GAs about notable singles from the soundtrack. So, looking at the article on Un célebre especialista ..., it would be tough to assemble a topic on this one, since it doesn't have a known director, and it doesn't necessarily look like there's enough commentary about it write a separate article about, say, critical reaction to it, or its historical impact.
I'll tell you what does look like a potential topic to me, though: was the screening of those four films on 28 January 1897 a notable event? One of the articles describes it as the "birth of the Venezuelan film industry." If so, maybe you could write an article about that event and get it to GA, then add on the articles about the four films screened and the Baralt Theatre, and have a credible Good Topic candidate. The question would be, is there significant enough news/scholarly coverage of that film screening to argue that it was a notable event and write a Good Article about it? Was it a big enough deal to merit its own category, which the other articles would go in? That I don't know. In summary, articles make sense as elements of a topic if they are strongly enough associated with that topic that it would be reasonable to put the articles in a category named for that topic.
Anyway, I hope this helps! I think WP's Good/Feature Topic system is really interesting, and I wish it got more visibility. I'm happy to answer any more questions you have about the process, and I wish you success in creating your first topic! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 13:31, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Bryanrutherford0: Thank you for this detailed advice! Your suggestion on the screening - it doesn't exactly have its own article, but Venezuelan cinema in the 1890s covers it and is a GA - of course, this decade also has the work of Carlos Ruiz Chapellín, which are not GA, so from this comment I would think that it would not make a GT? (A very niche area, I know) Kingsif (talk) 16:39, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- I would say that "Venezuelan cinema in the 1890s" could definitely be a coherent topic, and (without being very familiar with the topic) a reasonable scope would be the list of films in this section. If you got articles about those eight films to GA quality, then, together with the overview article, I would call it a complete topic. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 17:10, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

I noticed that happypillsjr recently nominated an article, but it appears to require a lot of cleanup. Is it eligible for quick fail?
Things I've noted by skimming through the article:
- The lead is way too long (3 para's with 4.5k of prose)
- The text is very cluttered with images and templates
- The history section is subdivided when it doesn't need to be
- The most cluttered section features 1 web citation without a url which is from 1988 even though it is about the current station layout
- The next section has no refs
What do you think? Quick fail? Username6892 03:16, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Username6892: That is a barely-referenced unreadable mess that would surely fail on coverage grounds, given the high quality of most NY station articles, even if the refs and templates were cleaned up. Happypillsjr has previously nommed at GA and FA articles that the NY rail task force have identified as needing work, which I guess happy seems to think means 'put up for quality assessment'? I would quickfail it, and recommend bringing it up with someone like @Epicgenius:. Kingsif (talk) 04:03, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Kingsif: It's a copyvio too Username6892 13:03, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Kingsif and Username6892: I agree this needs a quick fail. Kew Gardens 613 who has brought the Archer Avenue lines article to GA status, recently ranked that article as a start-class. It is nowhere near B-class quality, let alone a GA quality. epicgenius (talk) 13:04, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Kingsif, Username6892, and Epicgenius: I really appreciate @Happypillsjr:'s work to try to improve the article, but it is not ready. I think a quick fail makes sense, but I would make sure to ask @Happypillsjr: whether they are up to the task of drastically improving the article in a short time. I think it would make sense to explain to them explicitly why this is not GA quality, and what they can do for the future to ensure that the article meets all GA requirements.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 13:24, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
- I have an idea. @Epicgenius, Kew Gardens 613, and Username6892:, and @BlueMoonset:, are you all good with a discussion here, or should we take it to the GAN talkpage? We could have a consultation with @Happypillsjr: and just outright ask them what they think the GA process is for and what they think the criteria mean. Kingsif (talk) 18:43, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
- Kingsif, I think we should take this to WT:GAN to consolidate discussion and avoid cluttering your page. epicgenius (talk) 18:45, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 May newsletter
The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
- Epicgenius, with 2333 points from one featured article, forty-five good articles, fourteen DYKs and plenty of bonus points
- Gog the Mild, with 1784 points from three featured articles, eight good articles, a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews and lots of bonus points
The Rambling Man, with 1262 points from two featured articles, eight good articles and a hundred good article reviews- Harrias, with 1141 points from two featured articles, three featured lists, ten good articles, nine DYKs and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews
- Lee Vilenski with 869 points,
Hog Farm with 801, Kingsif with 719, 
SounderBruce with 710, Dunkleosteus77 with 608 and 
MX with 515.
The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

List of dramatic television series with LGBT characters: 2020s
Don't know why you didn't understand the purpose of the list when you made your edit, but:
"List of dramatic television series with LGBT characters: 2020s" = series that premiered in the 2020s.
"List of dramatic television series with LGBT characters: 2010s" = series that premiered in the 2010s.
If a series premiered in 2018, it belongs in one list only: the 2010s list. New main and recurring LGBT characters can appear in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, etc. -- it doesn't matter. New seasons of a series can include new LGBT characters but the year the series premiered doesn't change, and the series belonging only in the list for that year doesn't change. Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 07:59, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Pyxis Solitary: I find it odd how this message starts off intensely hostile, but gets more friendly? Anyway, I made that edit based on a talk page discussion that looked ongoing about when characters appeared, so I was working off that. Maybe the "purpose of the list" from your point of view should be in a bold hatnote at the top of the page if you don't want it to be misunderstood? In any case, you should have damn well just undone/corrected the edit and left this explanation in a friendly edit comment instead of coming to my talkpage with a 'how on earth did you get this wrong'-style message. Thanks. Kingsif (talk) 13:40, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Pyxis Solitary: I also gave a glance at your talkpage, I was thinking of posting a response there, and I notice that even in the last few weeks you have been quite hostile to other editors who have edited the various List of LGBT characters articles (all but one message there since March 30, in fact). I can very honestly understand how you want to keep pages clean and to a certain standard, etc., but if you're constantly challenging what looks like every edit to an article in a manner that does not appear to WP:AGF on the part of other contributors, perhaps you could reflect on that behavior and also read WP:OWN and maybe WP:BITE. Kingsif (talk) 13:56, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- ETA As a hopefully-useful intervention: this (message you left) is an entirely inappropriate and hostile use of a user talk page. Is this message to discuss with me? No. Is it to leave me a notification? No. Is it to address an editing issue that will change things going forward? No. You only left the message to belittle me about a past edit you don't like. FIXIT would have been the correct response from you, and if I'd reverted, the appropriate action then would be a discussion at the article talk page. You also seem to assume I was editing willfully against your rule, but if you perhaps glanced at the next edit I made to that page, you'll have read the very 'sorry if this is controversial'-style edit reason I left – odd how that's not been included in your, what, complaint? In short, stop leaving hostile messages to editors who do things you don't like. (None of these responses are intended as an invitation to discuss any issue, and any more hostile messages left for me will be removed because it's just damn rude and non-constructive) Kingsif (talk) 14:40, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hostile? No. Bewildered? Yes. I've been editing these lists for a long time and that edit was the first of its kind.
"Maybe the "purpose of the list" from your point of view should be in a bold hatnote at the top of the page if you don't want it to be misunderstood?
" The "purpose of the list" is in the title of the list. A list for 2020s television series is a list about television series of the 2020s. What is misunderstandable about that?
"assume I was editing willfully against your rule
". I have no "rule" -- I only have observation and deduction: a series that premiered in the year of a particular decade belongs within that decade, under the year for it.
I did more than glance at your summary ... I read it. It states: "this can be cut down to only the characters that debuted in 2020 (the last three) if controversial". Characters that were introduced in 2020, in a series than ran 2018–2020, still don't belong in the list for series that premiered in 2020.
As for some posts in my Talk page: one is a jerk, the other screwed around with a talk page comment, and the third was an overzealous content remover. If I cared what anyone thought about me because of those posts, they would have been blanked long ago.
That's it. Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 17:02, 1 May 2020 (UTC)- Really, no edits like that? Do works not cross decades often, then? Perhaps the '2020' in the non-standard article title needs to be attached to 'series'. The talk page discussion could be finished, too. Of course, I have no further interest in those pages, so count me out. Kingsif (talk) 17:39, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hostile? No. Bewildered? Yes. I've been editing these lists for a long time and that edit was the first of its kind.
- Really. The only time a series has been added in two different decades is if the newer series is a reboot of the original. For example:
Veronica Mars ran 2004–2007, then again in 2019. Since the 2019 return is a continuation of the same series (as season 4) it was added to the series in the 1970s–2000s list within 2004.
Dynasty ran 1981–1989 and appears in the 1970s–2000s list within the 1980s -- then the series reboot premiered in 2017. But unlike Veronica Mars, the 2017 version of Dynasty is a new concept developed by different producers and writers. So "Dynasty 2017" was included in the 2010s list within 2017.
I know all of this can be
at first, but the more you become familiar with these lists, the easier the 1-2-3 
becomes. Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 05:24, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- Really. The only time a series has been added in two different decades is if the newer series is a reboot of the original. For example:
DYK for Cecilia Suárez
On 2 May 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cecilia Suárez, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that actress Cecilia Suárez first met director Manolo Caro when he was 14, and would later go on to star in almost all of his films? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cecilia Suárez. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Cecilia Suárez), 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.

Hi, regarding to The House of Flowers's critical reception notes (Season 1 only etc.), I suggest using something similar to this instead of all the notes. Seasons will replace platforms. What do you think? −αΣn=1NDi[n][Σj∈C{i}Fji[n − 1]+Fexti[(n^−1)] 15:52, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Sebastian James: Thanks, that looks much better - I made the TV ratings template, and I'll have to look at the code to see if it could support multi-platform/season. Any ideas on implementing?
- I've never used Lua before, so I think using parallel parameters to the video game reviews template is fine. I also would like to offer this image for use on this page. −αΣn=1NDi[n][Σj∈C{i}Fji[n − 1]+Fexti[(n^−1)] 20:22, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- I have been playing with the parallel text and thought I could get it to work from just creating a source list for seasons and the appropriate 'create item' code, but the function of the video game template goes a lot further than that. I might have to look into its data more. Re. image - I know the es.Wiki article uses one of the 2019 images, and though some of the screenshot expressions are a bit odd, I might use one from the other video (thanks for offering it). Kingsif (talk) 20:33, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

- @Sebastian James: I've now tested building what this season template might look like at Template:TV reviews seasons box (it's got documentation in case someone else decides to use it, but hopefully the TV ratings template will be working by then). I've asked at the video game template if they have ideas how to help with the TV ratings template. The test shows it would look something like the table I've now added to this discussion. It seems to be alright width-wise with only a few seasons, it wouldn't be able to float if there were many more. Is this what you were picturing? Kingsif (talk) 02:37, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, this is pretty much what I had in mind. Thank you so much for your work. BTW, Ready Steady Cut also gave 3.5/5 to S3 here: https://readysteadycut.com/2020/04/23/the-house-of-flowers-netflix-season-3-review/ −αΣn=1NDi[n][Σj∈C{i}Fji[n − 1]+Fexti[(n^−1)] 09:25, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
- I don't know what you mean by "keep it framing the subject" and "reasonable ratio". The character's face stands right in the middle of the frame. The colors of the file are the same as the original, and has much better quality than what you uploaded. −αΣn=1NDi[n][Σj∈C{i}Fji[n − 1]+Fexti[(n^−1)] 18:43, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Sebastian James: Faces should not be in the middle of the image, though. That's not good composition. The ratio you use also made it almost square, with lots of unnecessary space around the subject of the image - and uneven amounts of space on each side. The quality improvement was negligible, if there was any at all, and there was no color change on my screen, at least. If you think the quality is better, fine, but crop it to have good framing and appropriate negative space. (Next time, add new messages in a new section - this was unrelated and hard for me to find - and make it clear what you're referring to) Kingsif (talk) 19:13, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Sebastian James: You should not have changed it to your image when you did not understand my rationale for reverting. This has been undone, and I strongly advise you do not change it again. The image is intended as a portrait/head shot image, which must have certain qualities (as the examples on those pages show: definitely a rectangle, head in the upper third) - the only differences between your version and my version is that yours removes these qualities. (Most photos of people on Wikipedia follow this rule, so consider this when adding other images, too) Kingsif (talk) 19:20, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- Quality improvement and coloring is clear. If you cannot see, that's probably because you have to refresh the page or clear your web cache/delete your history. Yours had more unnecessary space than my previous one. To avoid more discussion, I uploaded a version showing close-up. Also WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. −αΣn=1NDi[n][Σj∈C{i}Fji[n − 1]+Fexti[(n^−1)] 19:31, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Sebastian James: I can clearly see there are different images, since I can see that yours is square - maybe your 'improvements' don't show on a Mac, what I'm using, but who knows. You don't seem to understand what I'm saying about image composition, or you'd agree. You even cropped it into a close-up as a square. That's a big no. And yours definitely had more negative space, so much more I don't even need to measure it, it's clearly visible. OTHERSTUFFEXISTS doesn't really apply when every portrait image in history is done one way. You know what, I'll take your version and crop it into a decent composition. But you should try to make sure other images you upload don't look like icons, okay? Kingsif (talk) 19:40, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at File:Paulina de la Mora s1e1.png shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Whpq (talk) 19:31, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Whpq: Please see the end of a discussion above where Sebastian James posted about it; I explained, he said he didn't understand but changed it anyway. This was inappropriate, and I told him so and explained again. That's what, one revert? Since there's also discussion, it doesn't seem like an edit war to me, no? Kingsif (talk) 19:34, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- It may not have technically crossed the line but it certainly seemed to be headed in that direction despite the above discussion. You are both experienced editors and so I would have expected that you both would have refrained from reverting until things had come to an agreement. -- Whpq (talk) 20:07, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I see you are doing a lot of work on the La Guaira naval attack article. I also saw on your user page you work on the current events some. Last month, the Wikipedia:WikiProject Current events became active again after being superseded/inactive from 2008-March 2020. Most editors aren't aware it became active again.

A new GA review request
Kingsif, it's been a while, but there hasn't been that much to report. I do have a new one, however: Talk:Troll (Middle-earth)/GA1. The original reviewer has turned editor—or, at least said that they were, but hasn't actually made any edits to the article as yet. I was hoping that you could become the new reviewer, but did want to let you know about the previous review commentary before you started, since you'll probably want to review it. (There were also comments by another editor, but they never came back to add more.) Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:09, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Diana López
Hi Kingsif, I saw you just patrolled Diana López, thanks! I'm wondering if you mind review the prose of the article? I'm trying to stay away from Google Translate but I'm not sure about the overall quality. If you don't have the time, don't worry, cheers --Oscar_. (talk) 21:03, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Oscar .: I've made an edit to the lead, the rest is alright but could be tidied and with more citations. Kingsif (talk) 21:06, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
Kingsif, reviewer MonkeyStolen234 has put this up for a second opinion, and I was hoping you could take a look. I was also hoping, while you were doing so, you could take a look at the article in general, and also the other five that they opened for review today (well, May 17 UTC) and passed in short order and with minimal comment, though some article edits were made on at least one reviewed article by the reviewer. Today was only their second day of reviewing, though they have been around for a while; their first review was on Friday (the only one that day), and I think they intended to pass it but never edited the article talk page. I'm afraid I don't have the energy to look into this in greater depth; it was the reviews of Davido and Wyangala that caught my eyes, since they were the oldest unreviwed nominations when they were taken for review. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:31, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: I'm seeing Talk:Davido/GA1, Talk:Laura Harrier/GA1, Talk:The Masked Singer (American TV series)/GA1, Talk:1985 Tour de France/GA1, Talk:KQQZ/GA1, Talk:James Dunn (actor)/GA1, and Talk:Wyangala/GA3, want me to have a look? Kingsif (talk) 01:50, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- Please. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:51, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: (Feel free to copy this to GAN talk if brought up for discussion) I have added a full review of Laura Harrier, because I felt it needed it. I also added some comments and requested a response at Davido. I read the 1985 Tour de France article, and besides a strange bullet point and a short lead that I left a message for a main editor about, it looks fine; copyvio clear and good sources. I didn't leave any comments at the GA here. I have left a comment at the review for KQQZ, which was quite concerning because the sparse review suggests that MonkeyStolen doesn't understand the need for criteria: they failed criteria 6 but still passed without comment. Here, I suggested that they read the criteria again. This article wasn't nominated by Raymie as I expected, but I have left a message for the nominator with a brief note of my concerns, asking if they would like another review. James Dunn (actor) is a vital article, and was nominated by Yoninah, so I'm surprised the review hasn't raised concern yet. I've read it and looked at the quality of sources, and it looks alright besides perhaps too many images and the possibility of improved phrasing, but it may warrant a closer check later. The Masked Singer (American TV series), though, should not have been passed. The talk page shows multiple current and recent discussions about fairly contentious points. There's also a non-standard hatnote. I haven't left comments here, because I think a full review would be best to do, but I also think it might be easier to wait for the season to end. The copyvio concern also hasn't been adequately addressed: it looks more like an old TV upfront document on the show where a long quotation has been taken from: so long it's nearly half the source. And, I'd also suggest a full review of Wyangala: it was sitting for a long time and is on GA3, it probably needed depth and got nothing. Also some minor copyvio shows, non-quotation direct copies as well as close paraphrasing. Kingsif (talk) 03:35, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- If any of the reviews are problematic, and it sounds like a few of them were, perhaps a note would be in order suggesting that those reviews be reopened given the issues found, and a further review be done (Wyangala, certainly). The Masked Singer (American TV series) should be included, I think—it could be reopened with the understanding that while work could commence, it might be best to keep the review open at least until the current season has concluded and ratings and final reviews are available, which should be within the week anyway. I'm tempted to revert the passage of KQQZ because, as you note, it should not pass when a criterion is failed—reopening seems indicated here. (Of course, not every article that becomes a GA has images, so the lack is not necessary a disqualification.) BlueMoonset (talk) 04:51, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: I was the one who nominated KQQZ... to be honest, I was a bit surprised myself—as Raymie noted below, this is one of my first nominations; WAKR being the other. As explained on Talk:KQQZ/GA1, the lack of images is something I've been trying to figure out. Usually I err on the side of caution and will add images if they pass pre-1978 muster or are already available in the commons, so any/all guidance on how to add under fair-use is appreciated. (By contrast, I was fortunate to find pictures for WAKR and may be able to add more.) Given the rather unique subject matter at hand with KQQZ, if you or anyone else wants to look at and suggest revisions to make sure the POV is as neutral as possible, I would appreciate it so much! Already accepted Kingsif's offer to do so. Nathan Obral (talk) 16:53, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- Nathan Obral, I'm not the best person to ask about non-free images and valid rationales for them, unfortunately. I'll let Kingsif handle the further review checks. Kingsif, I just noticed that Davido has been passed—you did get a response there, but I doubt it was what you were looking for, and the nominator gave them guidance on how to close the nomination after they'd taken care of the ref issue. I think a more direct post to their talk page may be in order, perhaps listing the reviews that have issues and why they should be reopened. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:34, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- Kingsif, I see that you've been given permission to reopen the various reviews, which is a good thing all around. I think you should probably check them all, including the James Dunn article; Yoninah noted on the subsequent DYK nomination, after I pointed out that the DYK reviewer needed to be completely independent of the GA review and not make assumptions (and explained the situation),
I was wondering why that GA reviewer didn't make me turn somersaults like most of my GA reviewers do.
So perhaps some somersaults are in order here as well. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:46, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

(Nate is one of my very good friends and we have collaborated — between us we have a large article we'd like to go to FAC with and Nate also has some other stuff he's done.) I have been doing a few GA reviews lately and am honestly still really uncertain of the quality of my reviews because it's a different sort of beast than DYK. I also have articles that are GA quality but for which images are in very short supply. (Got lucky with CBUVT, currently pending review!) Raymie (t • c) 05:18, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
Kingsif, this is an odd one: the reviewer made a post complaining of serious issues on April 5, but hasn't edited since; the nominator has never responded to the review at all despite getting the usual "review starting" message from the bot, though they are quite active. Can you take a look, see whether the review was at all on point, and perhaps give the nominator a ping to see whether they're willing to address any issues? It would be nice to get this one decided one way or another. Many thanks, and apologies for continuing to send things your way. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:20, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: That review looks like it doesn't quite understand GA reviews, like it's giving an 'oppose' vote with reasons, based on GA criteria. I've pinged the nominator offering to take it up. Kingsif (talk) 04:41, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the ping on the review page. It does looks like it's being withdrawn, but best to wait for confirmation, at which point the reviewer, who has reengaged, can fail it. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:23, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Earth-return telegraph
So the number one bullet of your reasons for failing this article was this edit? You claim that it suggests that "the article is still unclear even at the basic level of 'what is earth-return telegraphy'." Really? that was a copyedit of the short description, not even visible on the page. Your implication seems to be that the article is so unclear that the editor who wrote the short description, user:John M Wolfson, did not understand it. Well let's ask him shall we? It seems to me that you were just groping at straws for reasons to fail an article written by an editor who you have fallen out with. SpinningSpark 09:59, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- Without getting into the other points, a minor change to the short description does not a good reason make to fail a GAN. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 14:43, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Spinningspark: That was not the main reason, but something I noticed while writing that message. I had been expecting a response to the comment directly above, and had not received any even though you had been active. I resent the personal attack that I would grasp at straws to fail a GAN without good reason; if there appears to be no progress because of the editors involved I always put it up for a second opinion. But your opinion of me is clear, so please leave me alone. Kingsif (talk) 17:36, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- You led with that item in your close. It's not unreasonable to assume that it was of some importance to you in the decision to fail. I didn't reply to your last comment because it was mainly just rehashing yet again things I had already replied to. You asked "tell me where you think it's gone outside the criteria?" Pretty much the whole of the comment you were replying to was telling you that. I asked where is your position that "an encyclopedia doesn't describe" supported in guidelines? Your reply not only offered no support in the GA criteria but didn't refer to policy or guidelines at all. Your claim that "if there appears to be no progress because of the editors involved I always put it up for a second opinion" is disingenuous. My very last comment on the page was "[g]o to a second opinion if you feel it is really problematic." You didn't do that, so clearly, you don't always do that. As for "please leave me alone", you should expect to have to justify your reviews. SpinningSpark 18:20, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Spinningspark: Evidently you can read "please leave me alone", so are you just going to keep harassing me in spite of it? I closed the review, with a reason (a.k.a. 'justification'). Interpret it how you will and disagree if you like, but with no activity and no response for over 7 days, that's enough reason for closing anyway. Now, your comments almost from the outset seemed to be attacking my abilities to review based on a misunderstanding, but the tone never went away, and were mostly not in good faith, but I continued; given your present insistence to keep up that thread of attacking comments despite the review being closed, be aware that I want nothing more to do with you, so please leave me alone. I would have no problem getting administrator intervention if you find you can't stop yourself from continuing to harass me about it. Move on with your life, and may I suggest being polite next time.

Hi, I removed your COI tag on Scroll (web service). So far I'm the only editor and I have no relation to the company, so there's no reason for a COI tag. I made the page after the most recent Firefox update, which notifies you of Scroll integration if you make an account. After I signed up for it I noticed there was no Wikipedia page for it so I went ahead and made it. It's just a piece of software I like. I left up your advert tag — while I personally think the tone of the page matches the tone in the articles I derived it from, that judgment is best left to consensus opinion. Jaydavidmartin (talk) 00:35, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, @Jaydavidmartin:. The article has a fairly straightforward tone, but it's short with details that read relatively promotional (this plus only one editor can suggest COI, thanks for clarifying otherwise) for an obscure product. (If you want my advice, though I'm sure you're good, it could cut down on mentions of its subscription and 'benefits', with more about development and uses/responses, to sound less promotional). But it's a nice little article :) Kingsif (talk) 04:19, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Ken Nightingall
Hello! Your submission of Ken Nightingall at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 21:49, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
Kingsif, I was wondering whether you'd be willing to take this on. The reviewer disappeared before they did any reviewing, and hasn't edited at all this month, and the nominator is ready for a new reviewer. Please let me know if it looks unlikely; I know you already have all the MonkeyStolen234 reviews to reopen and do. Many thanks for all you do! BlueMoonset (talk) 18:21, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah, I have a bunch open already and I could get round to it, but by that point another reviewer could have done it. Kingsif (talk) 18:49, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
- Not sure if you're through your backlog yet—it looks like you're mostly caught up—and as this one is still unclaimed, it would be great if you could take it on. If not, though, I'll ask around. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:56, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

regarding a recent cut on entry "HK Basic Law Article 23"
Hello. Recently a cut has been made on entry "HK Basic Law Article 23" paragragh “Since then, the bill of implementing the article has not been reintroduced”. As we may be aware of, some level of change regarding the political status of HK has occurred. However, Wikipedia is a site of objectivity and accuracy. Therefore my stance remains that the influence that has in the past been inflicted upon the implementation of HK Basic Law Article 23 be fully told in said entry. The precise narrative may shift according to its current political status--and rightfully so--but the details of past events I hope are told nonetheless. As experienced as a Wikipedia user such as yourself, I would count on you to designate a narrative fit for the status quo with objectivity. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Complete&Unabridged (talk) 14:01, 5 June 2020 (UTC)Complete&Unabridged
- @Complete&Unabridged: I think you're saying that changing the line about the bill not being reintroduced was wrong? I'd disagree, as while an unspecified bill has not been, the matter is clearly being debated again, so it would be false by omission to have left it as it was. I can't really understand whatever argument you're trying to make about
objectivity and accuracy
, but it's inappropriate to assume I was not being objective and accurate. Kingsif (talk) 14:09, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
Therefore I hope that the narrative could be changed to “Since 2003 up till 2020, the bill of implementing the article has not been reintroduced” to reflect the accurate existential influences of these demonstrations/protests, because a consecutive 17 years(2003~2020) of political restraint from both the mainland and HK would be considered a fairly large fraction of the life span of a random individual as well as a political body considering they're ultimately made of real people, and would be considered historically significant in many respects. Complete&Unabridged (talk) 14:30, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- Given your suggested revision is basically meaningless in English, it won't be changed to that. You can add a note yourself at the end about a 17 year gap, though it doesn't seem drastically significant, and has been at least discussed many times in that period.

Speedy Deletion - Cookie Dough Bites
Hi,
I'd request that the Cookie Dough Bites (candy) page not be speedily deleted because I am endeavoring to build it out to be a fully encyclopedic entry. I'm just still finding my way around the various ins-and-outs of Wikipedia guidelines.
I'm a confectionery historian, and for the post-war 20th century, I might be a preeminent authority of candy brand history. I have consulted with the Smithsonian, Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, have been featured in the New York Times and even hosted my own food history television show on Cooking Channel. I've been featured on Food Network a few times, when the history of candy or cereal comes up. So, I hope that lends me some credibility and some leeway when I state that my interest is in making sure the history of these brands is documented and documented well and accurately. My creation of this page is not meant to be a promotion, but rather an accurate and robust recording of its importance as a late 20th century confectionery brand.
I've been reading and re-reading the guidelines and have a lot of additional information to add and rewrites to do on the existing information I've posted thus far. I want to work within the Wiki guidelines to create a solid Wiki entry for this brand. Hopefully I can do so as I am working to do it the right way.

- @MarvelJason: Thanks for the message, Jason; I'd be happy to help you work on it if you like. Articles on companies are more common than brands, but if there's a lot to say about it, you could build an article. You could look at the articles in Category:Food product brands, and move the draft to WP:Articles for creation if you're going to be working on it. Short articles on things like brands (and other 'products') can easily seem promotional if there's not much content about the
importance as a late 20th century confectionery brand
, as you put it, a.k.a. what makes it notable for an encyclopedia entry. You may want to check out WP:PRODUCT, notability guidelines specific to products. Kingsif (talk) 21:03, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi @KingSif
Thank you for that offer. I'd appreciate any help you could provide in getting this to be a proper Wikipedia entry. I don't see anyway for me to retrieve what I wrote already and was deleted, so I'm going to take all of the guidance I've received thus far and endeavor to draft a new article for Cookie Dough Bites and I'll ping you here when I do, to have you take a look at what I've done. I appreciate the offer of assistance and look forward to your help. -Jason MarvelJason (talk) 21:47, 10 June 2020 (UTC)MarvelJasonMarvelJason (talk) 21:47, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

I've spent the last several days working up a draft of the Wikipedia entry for Cookie_Dough_Bites_(candy) after doing a lot more research. As I was unable to get any of my original draft back, I set about to create the new draft entirely within Word, and hoping to convert it to whatever format Wikipedia needs.

@Kingsif
Oddly, when I do that, it comes out as a complete mess of characters and things. I want to make sure all of the hypertext links remain intact and I agree, it seems like it SHOULD work that way, but thus far for me, it doesn't. I actually just copied and pasted an existing Wikipedia page from Wikipedia and simply pasted that INTO Word, and it retained all formatting just fine (I used that existing Wikipedia page as my template to create my page). Just seems like it should be as simple as you state, but in practice it is just the opposite for me. I'm not giving up.

That has changed things significantly for me and seems to have been the issue that was blocking my ability to do what I wanted to do.

Kingsif, this is a weird one, in that right after Talk:F. Scott Fitzgerald/GA1 passed, another editor showed up and said that there were significant problems with the article vis a vis the GA criteria, and what I can't tell is how severe the problems actually were and whether they've been adequately addressed; the intervention was not at all collegial. The DYK nomination has been sitting there, but at the same time the GA nomination was concluded; the real question is whether the article meets the criteria or not. Can you please take a look at it? If there are significant issues, then the DYK probably shouldn't go forward without them being addressed one way or the other. Please let me know whether you think you can take a look at this one. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:44, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: Yeah, that review has ... devolved. I think starting a reassessment at a new page would be the quickest way to check out the article. It'll also let the two reviewers cool off. Kingsif (talk) 04:41, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

I can see holding up the DYK nomination if there's an individual GA reassessment ongoing, but it's harder for a community reassessment, since they can last forever. I'm sorry for not writing sooner, since time is running out. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:26, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 July newsletter
The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
- Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
- The Rambling Man , with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
- Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.
Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, 
MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

ISSN is optional for the online newspapers
Hi, there! ISSN= and |language= is optional for the online newspapers like Guardian or New York Times in Template:Cite Web. ISSN= used usually only for paper book, and |Language= used for foreign language (not English). PoetVeches (talk) 13:02, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
- @PoetVeches: ISSN and ISBN are different things, ISSN in my experience only applies to online articles and journal articles. I guess you're right that it's optional, in the same way all parameters are, but it's a great universal filing system and should be encouraged. ISBN is the one for books, and is used for both paper and e-books. Please know what you're talking about before giving this advice to new editors who may go mixing them up or excluding them for no reason. (I usually remove the language parameter when it's automatically generated by the url but I guess I forgot once.) Kingsif (talk) 13:05, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
- No, we write for Template:Cite Web 2 entries necessary : title and url, - but of course it is good to add writer name, year and online paper name (website), access-date. I saw the common pattern in The Abridged Guide to the Harvard Referencing Style, but all people here on Wikipedia write much more detailed citations in the Templates. But you may just spare time on the details, who will search the Guardian article by issn? It's very optional, but if you want, of course, it's matter of your style to choose, and it's not important, but takes time. Best wishes. PoetVeches (talk) 13:18, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
- I don't really understand most of this message. But from what I do, I have to correct you. It doesn't take time, there's an automatic tool. And ISSN is very useful for an archive, so I support everyone using it where available. Please read up, or if you don't quite understand, please don't go giving bad advice. Editors newer than I am may take you at your word. Also, please use appropriate indentation for replies. Kingsif (talk) 13:39, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
- I really badly speak English. What you think is vague? Probably, you mean "Harvard style"? I wanted to say, that all Templates were invented just recently, when computer appeared, but if I want I can write in Harvard style, for example, Abraham Lincoln said (Lincoln p 78) that he has written new speech about american civil war, where he was a commander (Lincoln p 89). References (in the bottom) Lincoln, A 1777, My good speech, Pinguin Press, Washington. In all, the short information is enough to find this book in Congress library, so it's very good reference, I read this here in manual. PoetVeches (talk) 13:56, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
- No, of course I understand what Harvard style means. I figured your English might not be quite good: that's what made it hard to read, with words and sentences wrong. Just, stop, okay? Your advice is bad, and I don't need, and your replies keep making it worse, so it's best to quit now. You seem nice, but I really think you need to understand refs etc. more before trying to give anyone advice. Kingsif (talk) 14:02, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
- (And, for what it's worth, that Lincoln citation is also wrong. It should be "Lincoln, A. 1777. "Speech title", Penguin, Washington. Accessed July 2, 2020." And the inline citations would be "(Lincoln, "Speech title", 1777, p.78)" then "(Lincoln, p.89)". Maybe read the guide again, not that Wikipedia uses those kind of inline citations and the template fills in a lot for you.) Kingsif (talk) 14:10, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

"Critical acclaim"
I already rephrased "something" here, I can't rephrase a sentence that is not mentioned in any section, so I removed. You should've presented a valid reason to prove that the sentence wasn't incorrect and unsourced. I don't understand the need to turn this into a drama show. nyxærös 19:27, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- And you'll notice I had no issue with that edit, since I watch that article and saw it. I'm not the one turning whatever you think this is into drama: you, in bad faith, accused me of WP:OWN (and then of targeting your edits!). I gave a firm but polite warning saying you shouldn't do that when I am clearly just genuinely out here undoing poor edits on articles I watch (it's clear because of all the other edits I don't touch). I restate: a sentence in the lead of an article that merely summarizes a critical response section does not need a citation. This is something seen throughout many articles, written by many editors. As I suggested before, I think the issue is at your end. I'll reply no further because it's now evident you are targeting me. The conversation was over, and then you decided to come to my talk page to accuse me of starting drama - does the irony not slam you in the face? Kingsif (talk) 19:38, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- Was it over though? You came back to reply to me in an edit summary and reverted my edit on my talk page and then reverted again, just to provoke and supposedly express an opinion. Then you said that I shouldn't "taunt other editors with edit suggestions" after you suggested "If you think something can be rephrased, do that yourself, rather than removing it". I left your previous edits unnoticed until now because they were not that significant (the photo being square or rectangle or whatever, for example), so this sudden "targeting" accusation does not make sense, since you are the one who has been reverting or changing my contributions for a while on specific articles, which actually makes you targeting me. I'm sure you will also see this as an "unfounded accusation", so I will just continue to overlook and move on. nyxærös 20:06, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, it is completely ridiculous that you continue to claim I target your edits when you even presented evidence to the contrary. Please, escalate if you want - I just undo bad edits on articles I follow, I can't help if more than one of them is yours. And that seems to be something you refuse to accept, and in not considering that the 'good' reasoning for my actions could be the truth, you are assuming bad faith, too. All of this drama (that you are creating) is only reflecting poorly on you. Kingsif (talk) 14:08, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Kingsif, this DYK nomination of an approved GA has run into trouble because of copyvio issues. The original GA reviewer would appreciate some help going forward, but for now, I was wondering whether you could take a look at it and perhaps, if you'd be willing, do an individual GAR. I suppose that if the nominator doesn't address the copyvios, then the DYK can just be failed regardless of any GAR, but it would be good to see whether it fails to meet the criteria in any other areas. Thanks for whatever you can do. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:56, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Kingsif, this was abandoned by the reviewer about two and a half months ago, but they never said until I just pinged them.

Top 25
Thanks for showing up to write it! It's slow because I try to leave it for others, and Rebestalic used to be faster in his writing, but maybe I'll do some on my own again lest everything only gets done on Thursday or later again. And don't know you connection to Venezuela, but we certainly heard a lot about the neighbors in 2018 from the ignorant right that "didn't want to turn Brazil into Venezuela" (well, the dumbass they elected is certainly doing that, in making a government relying too heavily on the military and repressing the opposition; and the Venezuelan COVID numbers numbers are certainly better!). And regarding the song you decided to Google to just keep my gimmick, here's some snark on it. igordebraga ≠ 17:14, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, I enjoy the top25 for humor, if you want another co-writer, count me in! I do not live in Venezuela (thankfully), but the comparisons were how I learnt of Bolsonaro and... well, it's self-evident. I would consider the COVID numbers are better due to a chronic disease afflicting Venezuela commonly known as 'habitually failing to report medical statistics', though the flow of people out of the country rather than in has probably postponed it.

Naya Rivera
I tried to find a paragraph that already had something related to the Jane Lynch quote and there didn't seem to be an obvious place. It would be a shame if that quote got left out.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 22:25, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Vchimpanzee: From news articles, all of the cast are saying similar things - many whole essays about Rivera - so (please don't think me insensitive for asking) what do you think is so important about Lynch's quote? The responses section, after other editors and I have added and edited it, is structured as 'Tahj Mowry professes his love', then 'connection with Cory Monteith', then 'Rivera's impact on Latinx and LGBT+ representation'. Perhaps other 'X said Y' responses could be added to the Mowry quotes paragraph, if they add to coverage. Kingsif (talk) 22:31, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
- I only saw the one news article and that's all I saw. It didn't fit with Latinx or LGBT, or maybe it did.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 22:34, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
- Wait. Correction. That one news article was not the source I used. So there were two. But the Lynch quote stood out in the other to the point where it seemed important.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 22:38, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Vchimpanzee: Perhaps write that a lot of the cast gave responses, and mention that Lynch was one of the first, I think that's what the source said (hence why the quote is prominent near the top). Kingsif (talk) 22:42, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
- I'm through for the day. That sounds like something I'd rather leave to others.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 22:50, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I created this stub after another editor promoted an image caption mentioning her to Prep 7. As all the sources on her are in Spanish, I just ran one of them through Google Translate to produce this stub. Is this something that you might be interested in expanding and nominating within the 7-day window? (I started it on July 17.) If so, go for it! Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 18:51, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
I've been paying attention to this article for a while and I'm considering opening a GAR. I think the main problems at this point are the original research in Communities served which has been there since it became a GA and the coverage in the lead. I'm not sure how this article would stack up otherwise, but I would like your advice. Username6892 03:21, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Username6892: If you have OR concerns, that's definitely reason to open a GAR – I also note that it seems short on sources in the Facilities section. Reading the article, it feels like it lacks clarity in some parts/assumes a local knowledge. For general GAR advice, it helps if there is an active main editor. The first GAR I did was in relation to a DYK, and with those the DYK nominator has an interest in improving the article, but earlier this year I also did a GAR for Flagstaff, Arizona, which didn't have many editors. I think the general area of train stations is quite active, though, and there's certainly a lot of GA editors for NYC/Portland stations who might be interested. Kingsif (talk) 06:55, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
- Given the inactivity on most Toronto subway talk pages, I think it would be best to open a community GAR. The first person that I think of that would be of interest in the areas you mentioned would be epicgenius, though I'll have to see if anyone else is interested (The taskforce of WikiProject Toronto responsible for this appears to be inactive).

About work ethics
Hello Kingsif, my name is Rebestalic
I would like to thank and congratulate you on your hard work. The speed in which you and Igordebraga helped finish this week's Top 25 is amazing. I had a peek at your WMFLabs edit summary, and your total edit count (as well as your daily average edit count) is boggling.
How in the world do you manage to make twenty-four edits per day? 😂 I manage about twenty-four edits per year.
I apologise for not being able to help out alongside you for the Top 25s. I will try my best to shake off the work I've been given as soon as I can.
With heaps of admiration, Rebestalic[leave a message....] 05:04, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Rebestalic: Thank you for the nice message :) but I am far from the most active editor! I jumped in because I noticed the Top 25 slipping off schedule, please jump back in when you have the time! Kingsif (talk) 17:33, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- You're absolutely right about the Top 25 slipping off schedule haha, sometimes we'd only finish it by the Friday after the start of the week. Rebestalic[leave a message....] 21:08, 28 July 2020 (UTC) And yes, I will try my best to help out as soon as possible

Naya Rivera 2
I understand that Naya Rivera drowned on July 8, but her officialDate of death is July 13. It’s what’s on her death certificate. Therefore, it should be what’s on her wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parksandrecfan2013 (talk • contribs) 00:20, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, that's why there's a note in the article explaining that. Right next to the date of death. Which has been discussed on the talk page already.
- @Parksandrecfan2013: These are things you should check before making controversial edits, especially to recent deaths articles. Kingsif (talk) 00:23, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
@Kingsif: Yeah, I did check. And OFFICIALLY, her date of death is July 13th. Which is why the note works while having the date of death as the 13th. A person is not dead until declared dead. Until then, it’s a presumed death.
- See, when I was making the same argument, I actually did it politely and discussed it in the appropriate venue with other users, rather than going to their own talk pages to treat them like idiots. You've been reported, so thanks for this evening's entertainment. Kingsif (talk) 03:48, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Nomination of 2019 Latin American protests for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 2019 Latin American protests is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2019 Latin American protests until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Fontaine347 (talk) 23:16, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
Kingsif, I just noticed that the nominator attempted (and failed) to ping you to see whether they'd addressed all of your issues—unfortunately, they failed to sign their posts, so the pings didn't work. Please stop by when you get the chance. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:00, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
Kingsif, this review didn't get very far, has not been added to for over two months, and when I queried the reviewer at User talk:Vami IV#Your open GA reviews, they requested that I find a new reviewer for this one. Please let me know if you don't think you'll be able to take this one on; I noticed that you opened three new reviews about 40 hours ago. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:01, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm writing up the comments for some other reviews, and am otherwise "busy", so I don't think I'll be able to get to it very soon. If it still needs a reviewer in late August, I could do it. Kingsif (talk) 16:29, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

My take on addressing BLP disputes
Hi Kingsif. I'm sorry the discussion has gone as it has. I hope you don't mind if I comment here on your talk page.
Given the requirements of WP:BLP, I expect editors arguing for inclusion of content to identify high-quality references for the information, quoting the relevant material if needed. From my perspective, that has still not been done in this case. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 02:48, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
- I don't mind, you genuinely seem to mean well, though I still find that your requests haven't been clear. If you've left more messages at the Top 25 talk page since I did, I haven't read there yet.
- I understand the need for references, but I don't know what you would like to see references to support, is what I mean. I don't think that anyone is disputing that Susan Rice sold Netflix shares a few weeks ago, and a simple check of pageviews shows that the day after (UTC), her article got more views (well, I say simple); I can provide you more references for the Netflix sales, but I wouldn't think any mainstream source is going to have a headline about WP pageviews in this case. I also don't want to weaponize the format of the Top 25 in this discussion, but I'm sure you've noticed there are many bios and news stories that involve living people on the list, and that the page does not regularly use any form of referencing - I've been reading the list for a long time but only in June, I think, started contributing to it: its style was established long before my involvement. Sometimes urls are used in the notes when it's strange (or too complex for a summary). I wonder if you mean references for any political nature of the news item? Again, nothing was being insinuated - nor do I see the text to be something one could read such intent into unless actively looking for it - and I even expanded the text to more explicitly say so (my efforts in that regard were met with
preposterous
from the other user). - @Hipal: I'll ping you here in case you haven't put this on your watchlist, and I would appreciate a response as to exactly what you would like to see references for? And anything else on the matter; a discussion has been started and I try to contribute and see a beneficial resolution when there are clear good intentions. Thanks for coming to me like this, Kingsif (talk) 03:56, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
- I'm looking for references that support the material in dispute. The Fortune ref is it so far, which doesn't support either version of the disputed content provided. Further, nothing indicates it was anything more than trivia, nor that it stood out as an item of interest at the time. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 04:31, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
- For reference, I'll add the disputed text here, version 2 then version 1:
Rice's profile rose as a possible Joe Biden running mate. She was prominently in the news, getting more pageviews, when she had to explain to the rumor mill that selling some Netflix shares was not a political move, something that really shouldn't have been in doubt.
Another candidate to be Joe Biden's VP pick, this week Rice sold her shares in Netflix. She made bank, then announced that the sale was not politically motivated.
- Statements in these: 1. Rice was a potential VP candidate. 2. There was news about her selling Netflix shares in the week Aug. 2 – 8. 3. Rice's team announced there was no political motivation. 4. She would not have had to make such an announcement under other circumstances (added after a user claimed the first version was
political innuendo
, which... what?) - Wall Street Journal said
Susan Rice, believed to be a top contender to be Joe Biden's vice presidential running mate, has sold a significant proportion of the Netflix Inc. shares she has acquired [...] a spokesperson [said] "the sale has nothing to do with VP speculation"
on Aug. 7, so that supports #1–3. - While #4 is a bit more of the tongue-in-cheek element of the Top 25, and, arguably, the explanation from her team that Rice filed to sell stock options 3 months earlier is a subtle "we shouldn't have to say this, but here's a justification", let's look for refs; Bloomberg connects the "not political" statement to wanting to ward off a potential scandal because of how close the VP selection was, as does Barron's, and Deadline.
- For timing/relevance for inclusion on Top 25 pageviews: Rice publicly disclosed that she sold the shares on Aug. 5, and news started taking hold on Aug. 6, before the "not political" announcement on Aug. 7. Here's the article's August pageviews (to Aug. 17).
- @Hipal: Kingsif (talk) 05:00, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
- Much, much better. Thank you.
She would not have had to make such an announcement under other circumstances
That's your OR and it shows how trivial it is. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 16:32, 18 August 2020 (UTC)- As said, that part was trying to appease the other user, but it is reflected in some of those sources... take it as shorthand for the more article-space appropriate "media suggested that Rice's representatives made the statement so as to ward off any scandal related to the Democrat VP selection, in which Rice was a frontrunner, to take place the following week".
- I don't see how you get
trivial
. Hmm. The thing about the Top25 is that it can't always be given amazing sources, the same way actual academic analysis on social-oriented stats looks strongly at correlation and 'what we know about people'. I do think you're holding it to a too-high standard. E.g., this is the first week Alexander Hamilton has been out of the Top25 since the first week of July. We know it was there so long because the Broadway movie of Hamilton was released July 3 and he must have been popular since. Will there be any August sources for that? No. But there's no other reasonable answer for why Hamilton would get so many pageviews then otherwise. Similarly, why would Rice be in the Top25 the week before the VP pick when Harris and other popular candidates weren't? Or why Karen Bass was the only one of them in the Top25 the week before that? Not the politics, the media circus. When our pageviews are the data, there's only so much that can be supported from elsewhere. But I fear this is getting into a philosophical debate about the Top25 list; it's only rarely seen complaints that I know of, so two in one week was a surprise. And it hasn't changed how it operates since 2013, so if my explanations don't suffice, perhaps you can (genuine suggestion for peace of mind) just go back to ignoring it?

A lonely "(659)" in your contribution to 35 mm movie film
Thank you for adding the "Level 4" section "Becoming the standard" to 35 mm movie film.
There seems to be a lonely "(659)" after the first sentence of the last paragraph of the new section (the sentence ends with "further cementing it as the standard"). It seems that the 659 might be part of a citation. Could you check, please? Rfcstein (talk) 21:00, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Dude, someone made a tool that compiles the numbers from that page, no need for you to do things manually (although I don't know when it updates for you - in my timezone it's noon). There's some slight number difference, I'll fix them. igordebraga ≠ 22:04, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Igordebraga: Yeah, I've been using the top 1000 (and I added it to the About page in case others wanted to), but because it doesn't count redirects, I've been manually checking pageviews, to make them more accurate. I did wonder why the figures were still being tagged as 'estimates' on the record page, but if you didn't know I'd been doing this, I can see why! Kingsif (talk) 22:07, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
- The estimates are because the one true tool for pageviews, which apparently has some added quirks for accuracy, has been down since January. igordebraga ≠ 22:25, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
Shaun of the Dead
Hello. I apologise to bother you, but recently, I read the article, and although it belongs to the category "Parodies of horror", there is no information/source/citation that would support that claim. I checked, and it seems that the edit was made by an IP user who had some issues with adding unsourced content and categories to various articles. Additionally, Simon Pegg stated it is not a parody (the source: 1, 2, 3). Still, some other sources say it is (e.g., Karen A. Ritzenhoff, Angela Krewani, The Apocalypse in Film: Dystopias, Disasters, and Other Visions about the End of the World, p. 89). I wanted to remove the category, but I decided to discuss it with you. Thank you. --89.66.254.10 (talk) 16:30, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the message - if you've assessed the sources and think that it doesn't belong in the category (I guess British humour and parody can be hard to distinguish) then go ahead and remove it. Kingsif (talk) 18:54, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

The file File:La Casa de las Flores soundtrack cover.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in The House of Flowers (TV series)#Soundtrack. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained in WP:FILMSCORE and MOS:TVPRODUCTION.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:42, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

RD as blurb
By crash the internet, I meant actually cause service disruption. See Death of Michael Jackson#Media and Internet coverage and the similar disruption happened with Kobe. I used to have a much lower bar but our failure to post the death of John Lewis has made me jaded. The idea of a transformative figure is very subjective. I must oppose posting Chadwick Boseman because it would have been an affront considering Lewis. As a POC, if I was a reader and I noticed that Boseman receive a more respected treatment than Lewis, I would be offended. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 18:45, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Chadwick Boseman
Hi, Kingsif. Happy to do the footnote any way you think makes the most sense, but we do need to move that footnote out of the infobox, as per MOS. Could we collaborate on this? Would you like to do it? Would you like me to?--Tenebrae (talk) 17:18, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Tenebrae: Yeah, you can do it - just name the note like a ref rather than duplicate it. On the MOS, though, isn't it just that smaller text is advised against in infoboxes, and that footnotes, like refs, are fine. A similar issue occurred on the article for Naya Rivera about her death date. I added the note there in the lead and infobox, and it was removed from the lead with the reason it did not belong in the lead just the infobox. Kingsif (talk) 17:53, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, Kings. I'll do that and I'll go to Naya Rivera and back you up on that — the death date should be cited in the article body and not the infobox. --Tenebrae (talk) 18:02, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- I guess I'm misunderstanding what you mean. The only way I know to do a footnote that contains multiple cites is the way that footnote is formatted now. The name of the cite isn't the issue; it's the location of the cite. I apologize for not understanding; could you explain it more specifically, or alternately move the footnote?

It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;
HaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs;- Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles.
Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

DYK for Kerr Hewitt
On 4 September 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Kerr Hewitt, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in both his 2010 film roles, Kjartan Hewitt's characters notably attend a Broken Social Scene concert? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Kerr Hewitt), 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.

Cite positioning re quote
Apparently MOS:BLOCKQUOTE does back that up, so I won't argue with it, but I must admit I am rather surprised it claims the way you did it is "more usual". I cite blockquotes at the bottom, largely because a lot of the academic and legal writing I've used as sources do it that way, and I've seen a lot of other editors do it that way, so I thought it was standard. I wonder if that section of the MOS was written a long time ago.
I won't make an issue of it, but I do wonder if the MOS should revisit that as a lot of people don't seem to be following that particular part. Daniel Case (talk) 05:39, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
- I think it is an old part of the MOS, from when people used different templates/formatting and putting a ref at the end would mess it up, but I still find it simpler to go back to it :) No problem, and thanks for the review. Kingsif (talk) 06:00, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

DYK nomination of History of Flagstaff, Arizona 2
Hello! Your submission of History of Flagstaff, Arizona 2 at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 20:54, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
Kingsif, I hope you are well. I have no idea what your schedule's like these days, but this nomination was taken and quickly passed when it shouldn't have been. The original reviewer has reverted their passage and bowed out, and I was wondering whether you'd be willing to take it on. There are prose issues, as I've noted on the review page, but it's an interesting subject/person, and I think the nominator will be willing to work on issues should you take it on. If it isn't feasible, let me know and I'll put out a second-opinion call. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:20, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

- Kingsif, it's been a couple of weeks. Does it still look like you'll be able to get to this one in the near future, or should I put out the "second opinion" shingle? Thanks again for all your reviewing. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:07, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
Kingsif, I was wondering whether you could take a look at this and see if it is indeed ready to be approved, and if so, approve it. (If not, but it's close, point out what's left to be done.) It's a new reviewer, and even though an apparent professor, that doesn't mean they're fully cognizant of the specifics of Wikipedia; they certainly haven't been covering all the steps in the GA review process. I just received a note from the nominator, who isn't getting a response from the reviewer about taking that final approval step. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:57, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Restoring archived discussions at WT:ITN
The bot uses the last comment date when archiving a discussion so they're as good as closed when it happens. restoring an archived discussion at best is pointless because the bot will archive it again and at worst it will break the bot completely. If you feel strongly that a discussion should not be archived I believe there is a template you can add. Discussions do not need to be closed (in fact, I've learned that over doing that may be detrimental) so it's really best to just let the bot do what it does. Thanks. --LaserLegs (talk) 22:00, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Use of an opinion source
I'm currently working on improving the Erin O'Toole article and found this opinion column from a professor of political science. It contains multiple things currently not found in the article, though given this is an opinion column, should it be attributed? Username6892 19:20, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Username6892: Anything that is McKenna's opinion should be attributed. Things that are factual - and we can assume McKenna is an expert enough to know the facts of O'Toole's recent policies - do not need to be, even though they are in an opinion article, because mere statements of O'Toole's policies are still facts. There appear to be some quotes from O'Toole in the article, as well. Obviously, when directly quoting from McKenna's words in the article, this needs attribution. The article does seem to be heavy on the opinion, so better safe than sorry when applying attribution here. Kingsif (talk) 19:32, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

As you can see here, SounderBruce would like to hand these off, and I'm sure the nominators would welcome some activity. Do you think there's a chance you can take these over? Many thanks for considering these. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:06, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Any chance you might be able to take a look at Talk:George Huebner/GA1? Thanks, whatever you decide. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:21, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
Hello Kingsif,
First and foremost, greatly appreciate your insightful GA-review back in March, that gave me some solid feedback after working on it for some time. I've been going through the article and adressed many of your concerns. It still needs some work on reflayout and so forth, but I wonder if you could take a quick look at it and tell me what I should focus on for it to pass GA. If you're busy working on something else I completely understand if you don't have the time. Best regards, Sammyjankis88 (talk) 14:46, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Sammyjankis88: Thanks for the message, I just got round to looking at it, and it looks to be more detailed on the filmmaking specifics. I still wonder if there's much to be said on cinematography, and wonder if the views on the film industry are particularly relevant to his style. It seems to be written well, though falls into jargon in some parts some of the earlier sections. Another read-through (maybe a copy-edit) would probably do it well. Kingsif (talk) 19:37, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, I will take another look at it. I do think it passes the "broad in coverage" criteria with flying colors (more FA than GA in that department), but I'm sure more information on cinematography could be added. I agree with the jargon bit. Sammyjankis88 (talk) 09:04, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Kingsif, this review was done in 36 minutes, and it's an article with over 200 references. The reason I'm coming to you is that you ended up revisiting the reviewer's only previous GA review, also passed without any issues found, of Alan Dershowitz.
There was an earlier review of this Crisis article that foundered over the plot section length—when the previous reviewer resigned and this was put back into the pool of noms awaiting a review, it became the oldest unreviewed nomination—but I'd feel happier if someone could take a look at the article and see whether anything jumps out at them. Thank you for considering looking it over. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:58, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- They did four more even quicker reviews today, the first three in close succession. The articles seem to be okay at first glance, as did the Crisis article, but it probably makes sense to spot-check, if you can. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:35, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

- Kingsif, now that there seems to be a consensus that the reviews need to be redone, I was wondering whether you could take on the Talk:Systime Computers/GA2 review. I'm happy to undo the promotion if you'd prefer adding onto the GA2 page, or undoing and putting to page 3 if you'd like to start fresh. The reason I suggest the Systime one is that it's now had two substandard reviews by novice reviewers, and I'd hate for there to be a third. On the other hand, if you'd prefer any (or more than one) of them, I'm happy to do the talk page adjustments, though you can do them yourself if you'd rather. Please let me know! Many thanks.

New Albion GA assessment comment
Hello Kingsif. Hu Nhu here; you assessed and promoted the article I nominated for WP:GA. I understood you were a demanding and particular editor which I appreciated. As I've continued my occasional editing, I've come across other articles listed as GA and thought that they had deficiencies. The San Francisco Bay Area is one of these. While making corrections to some of the egregious errors in the article and seeking assistance and advice, I received a comment noting that the SF Bay Area GA review lacked the thoroughness when compared to the one you completed. My compliments and thanks again to you. If I ever seek a GA review (unlikely but possible), I will certainly inquire of your excellent help. Most kind regards.Hu Nhu (talk) 03:38, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I've been relying on you to finish off reviews so I can promote them. But please let me know if I'm asking too much. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:26, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- It's alright, it's almost calming not having to pick out DYK noms myself. I like to get them done but just been called to one every now and again seems to make it easier. I have to say I may have relied on the DYK check tool a little too much on some of the shorter ones, though. Kingsif (talk) 21:10, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

New Page Patrol December Newsletter
Hello Kingsif/Archives,
- Year in review
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

- Reviewer of the Year
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
- NPP Technical Achievement Award
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

DYK for Rachel Sennott
On 12 December 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rachel Sennott, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Rachel Sennott stars in two 2020 queer Jewish films about funerals, but is neither queer nor Jewish? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rachel Sennott. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Rachel Sennott), and it may be added to the statistics page if it received over 400 views per hour. 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.

Cite Unseen update
Hello! Thank you for using Cite Unseen. The script recently received a significant update, detailed below.
- You can now toggle which icons you do or don't want to see. See the configuration section for details. All icons are enabled by default except for the new
generally reliable icon (described below). - New categorizations/icons:
Advocacy: Organizations that are engaged in advocacy (anything from political to civil rights to lobbying). Note that an advocacy group can be reliable; this indicator simply serves to note when a source's primary purpose is to advocate for certain positions or policies, which is important to keep in mind when consuming a source.
Editable: Sites that are editable by the public, such as wikis (Wikipedia, Fandom) or some databases (IMDb, Discogs).
Predatory journals: These sites charge publication fees to authors without checking articles for quality and legitimacy.- Perennial source categories: Cite Unseen will mark sources as generally reliable,
marginally reliable, 
generally unreliable, 
deprecated, and 
blacklisted. This is based on Wikipedia's perennial sources list, which reflects community consensus on frequently discussed sources. Sources that have multiple categorizations are marked as 
varied reliability. Note that generally reliable icons are disabled by default to reduce clutter, but you can enable them through your custom config. A special thanks to Newslinger, whose new Sourceror API provides the perennial sources list in a clean, structured format.
- With the addition of the new categorizations, the
biased source icon has been removed. This category was very broad, and repetitive to the new advocacy and perennial sources categorizations that are more informative.
If you have any feedback, requested features, or domains to add/remove, don't hesitate to bring it up on the script's talk page. Thank you! ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 23:24, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
You are receiving this message as a user of Cite Unseen. If you no longer wish to receive very occasional updates, you may remove yourself from the mailing list.
The article Danny Deferrari has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Actor without significant roles or in-depth coverage in sources; fails notability guidelines (WP:GNG and/or WP:NACTOR
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —C.Fred (talk) 19:03, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

What in the actual blue blazes...
...is a backwards trial? Wouldn't have anything to do with Wikipedia's search results for that alien term, would it? I'm no crooked detective, but if I'm being honest with you here, pal, your story pretty much falls apart right there. Not buying it. Not sure a jury would, either, y'know?
But my job is just to get to the bottom of what happens in Wikipedian true crime, hypothetically and friendly-like, then go home to my bottle and my dog, see? And I'm sure you have somebody waiting for you on the outside, too. So let's go back to the beginning and see if we can't help each other out, OK?
Missing people, sure, I get it. It happens to the best of us, nobody's blaming you, have a cigarette. Don't smoke? Good man, I've been meaning to think about quitting myself. "The Devil's Lettuce", my dog keeps telling me. So anyway, backward trials.

Kingsif, I don't understand what is going on with this review except that it isn't complete, no one is responding, and the reviewer doesn't appear to understand the process. They started out by saying they were looking for people to help with the review; might you stop by and do just that? If nothing else, a new post with germane comments might get things moving again, and if there truly isn't anything at all to comment on, saying that might also get things moving as well. Thank you very much, and best wishes for 2021. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:03, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
Name of the "2021 storming of the United States Capitol" article
Hi Kingsif! Thanks for your brief comment on Talk:2021 storming of the United States Capitol in the "voting" for the name of the article. I'm hoping you can help me structure a !vote of some sort on the title of 2021 storming of the United States Capitol this week. Like I said over Talk:2021 storming of the United States Capitol in my comments, the debate over the title of this article needs to center on the descriptive term for what happened yesterday. Here's a list that I have, in alphabetical order (vaguely):
- "attack" (or "terrorist attack")
- "breach" (or "security breach")
- "insurrection" (or "attempted insurrection")
- "protest" (or "protests")
- "siege"
- "standoff" (or "armed standoff")
- "storming"
- something else
It's tough to even order these in "neutral" order, let alone have a talk page discussion about them. One of the commenters implied that this was a dead horse (with the "WP:Drop the stick" comment). It seems timely and urgent to get the title of this article correct now, but the discussion looks like it's going to leave the not-very-neutral "storming" term in the title. What are your thoughts on the structure needed for a good discussion? -- RobLa (talk) 00:34, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Hi @RobLa:, I think a discussion first needs to center around the sources. Before we pick apart neutrality, we want to see what people are calling the event. It can be harder, though, because in times like this when it's 1. confusing, and 2. Wikipedia has kind of built a good reputation, people are now looking to what we're calling the article. Keeping the article title stable and plain for as long as possible for a COMMONNAME to develop is one path. Otherwise, we "build" an article title: Year + location + descriptive noun. And that descriptive noun has to come from the best of sources, not just the most sources, but those which are giving neutral, accurate, sustained coverage. Find those sources, and start a discussion with them as the basis. Argue to change the title based on evidence, not on wanting to change it. Kingsif (talk) 00:40, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
Congress members and responsibility for policing of the Capitol
Your overhasty assertion[12] needs explanation. What part of this do you dispute?
Congress members own responsibility for policing of the Capitol 'Is there a place in the article to mention that, given that Congress is the exclusive source of authority for the Congressional officials who constitute the Capitol Police Board, it is remarkable that Senate and House members seem to be willing to blame anyone but themselves for the insufficiency of the Police deployment to secure the Capitol from the riotous break in?' Qexigator (talk) 07:52, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- Well, you seem to be saying that even when police are active, they need to wait for their commissioner to actually do the stopping crime thing, which is just wrong. But the main reason for closure was the fact it is OR, which I pointed out - that is, no sources are discussing how the Capitol police are structured or anything to do with that relationship in respect to this event. So connecting that system to this event is SYNTH at best (source 1 says Capitol police were on the scene, source 2 says unrelated Capitol police operate like this). To then assert that the elected officials did something wrong and
seem to be willing to blame anyone but themselves
because of this structure is complete conjecture, and thinking it merits inclusion is ridiculous. You can write your own Facebook opinion piece on that if you like, but since there's no source, it's not going anywhere near a WP article. Kingsif (talk) 14:52, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
Requesting a look at Talk:2021 storming of the United States Capitol/Archive 1
An IP user is continually removing an archived section that you closed from the talkpage of 2021 storming of the United States Capitol. So far, they have removed it five times in a little over three days. Both User:Elliot321 and myself have taken action twice on this. Would you be willing to put a restriction on the archive and revert them? (Note: As the archive size is over 150k, the protection should not interfere with Lowercase sigmabot III.) --Super Goku V (talk) 13:30, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- I'm not an admin, but I've rolled back the latest edit and brought it up at AIV, so hopefully it'll get some attention. After your explanations, it's just vandalism to remove the discussion even if it was pointless. It might be an important record of how those views tried to influence WP coverage, even. Kingsif (talk) 14:43, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- Ah, sorry for the mistake then and thank you for your help. :) --Super Goku V (talk) 16:28, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello Kingsif, regarding your revert on Tanya Roberts, you mentioned that all infoboxes use "U.S.", but that doesn't mean that the same thing will apply to the articles. I would like to let you know that 'United States' is the common name of the country, not 'U.S' which is just a short form and an abbreviation. We don't use abbreviations like 'R.U' for Russia and 'J.P.' for Japan in articles, we use common names for all. On another note, the comment which you mentioned in your revert edit summary "seemed like super obvious trolling" was totally unacceptable and uncalled for, since I've been using Wikipedia and have been an editor for here for 10 years now, so that looked very strange. Regarding the edit, if I'm missing something, please feel free to let me know. Thank you. TheGeneralUser (talk) 19:51, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- @TheGeneralUser: Obviously you're missing something. Overlooking the fact you must think I'm so dumb that I apparently thought "U.S." is the full name or whatever, by the fact you erroneously compared it to made-up abbreviations of Russia and Japan, let's get to the matter at hand: all infoboxes use "U.S.". How can you misinterpret that? Pick a biography of anyone from the US, and what does it say in the infobox? "[Town], [State], U.S." In literally every single one. Your view on what is or isn't the most practical or common name is completely irrelevant and it's hard to believe someone who's been around 10 years hasn't noticed this. I'm also failing to see how you can think my comment explaining why I used revert instead of edit was
totally unacceptable and uncalled for
- you said there was an inappropriate use of revert, I merely explained why I'd done it. Your edit looked like obvious trolling, it wasn't but was still wrong so I decided to explain that mistake, how on earth is that unacceptable. Kingsif (talk) 21:50, 3 February 2021 (UTC)- I was unaware that all biography infoboxes use 'U.S.'. Both names are correct, but I was only changing it to a common name and I had done it in good faith only. Also, this is a very big project, so knowing 100% of everything is not that easy. I didn't say that your revert was inappropriate, only the use of rollback and the use of some specific words which I found hurtful, which is what I felt was wrong. I just wanted to mention that. Best. TheGeneralUser (talk) 22:44, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

WikiCup 2021 March newsletter
Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
- Epicgenius led the field with a featured article, nine good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 945 points.
Bloom6132 was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
ImaginesTigers, who has been editing Wikipedia for less than a year, was in third place with 711 points, much helped by bringing League of Legends to featured article status, exemplifying how bonus points can boost a contestant's score.
Amakuru came next with 708 points, Kigali being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points.
Ktin, new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items.- The Rambling Man scored 511 points, many from featured article candidate reviews and from football related DYKs.
Gog the Mild, last year's runner-up, came next with 498 points, from a featured article and numerous featured article candidate reviews.
Hog Farm, at 452, scored for a featured article, four good articles and a number of reviews.- Le Panini, another newcomer to the WikiCup, scored 438 for a featured article and three good articles.

Your GA nomination of Venezuela at the 1956 Summer Olympics
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Venezuela at the 1956 Summer Olympics you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Willbb234 -- Willbb234 (talk) 17:21, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
Kingsif, this review will be ten months old tomorrow. The reviewer, Gatoclass, has made such extensive edits to the article that to some extent they'd be approving their own contributions, and has asked for a new reviewer to check the article and make the final decision (or request further changes). Would you be able to do this? Thanks for taking a look. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:02, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
- Kingsif, I was wondering how this was progressing, and whether the final issues you've raised has been settled. I realize you have a review of your own GA nomination to deal with; it would be nice to get this one off the books. Hope all is well with you. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:47, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: I got a few "can you explain the issue" responses, to which I replied, and nothing since. It's drastically improved with a reviewer deciding to work on it, since the original nominator has tried three times for promotion without putting in any effort, so I'm disappointed in the lack of response but I guess it's just one more fail and no doubt nominator will try again.

Winston Marshall Career
currently at the end of the section, HVOB collab, release and tour info:Winston Marshall
They toured Europe in April 2017 on the 15 date Silk Tour.
The April 2017 and 15 dates is currently sourced from the band website, press release (and previously before numerous edits) an interview article on an established media source.
Are there more sources needed for this tour information? What is the best/correct way to list these sources? Just a ref tag for each date?
HBOV toured the album for a year by themselves, only the first month of 15 dates (plus a one-off in Oct that I found while researching) was with Winston Marshall. Which is why I want to point out it was just a small number of dates, not the entire Silk Tour.
https://www.wonderlandmagazine.com/2017/02/13/new-noise-hvob/
Tickets for the April European tour and Oct one-off were sold through the electronic music website Resident Advisor. These are the listings for the completed events.

Asking you here in an attempt to avoid numerous rounds of editing by users and bots if I add too many sources (one for each event) and there is a better/correct way. I've looked in editing docs but didn't find adefinitive answer. thanks TheMajorLift (talk) 06:03, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hi @TheMajorLift:, the best place to ask all of this would be the talk page of the article (Talk:Winston Marshall), but I can tell you that I would say he only played 16 days of the tour and insert a footnote (see Template:efn for directions if you're not sure) that lists the dates/locations with a source each. If the interview is reliable enough and mentions the first 15 dates, that (plus the one-off) can be used without having to cite every ticket listing. That would actually be better: a lot of career things get excluded/removed if they don't have secondary sources. Merely existing doesn't pass WP:GNG, i.e. Marshall may have done part of this tour and been on the album, but if no notable music publication cared enough to write about it happening, it's not deemed significant enough for inclusion. Hope that helps. I still suggest posting this at the article talk page to get more advice/perhaps a fan can help you with sources. Kingsif (talk) 12:23, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

GA review
Hi there, I noticed you are listed as one of the good article mentors, and I was wondering if you would mind taking a look at the GA review I recently made here. After closing it, I'm second guessing myself on the quick fail; this is only my second GA reviewed and the first one I've failed. Pbrks (talk) 22:05, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Pbrks: I've looked at the article, the review, and the comments after the quick fail, and I think it was appropriate. You gave a detailed review, also explaining your comments. While the lengthiest comments were on the plot section, and this is theoretically easy to fix, a subject matter expert did note that the plot section was also too long/not well structured. You also highlight fair issues with sources, copyvio, and a lack of coverage. I think your suggestion of a peer review was a fair conclusion, and something I would attempt rather than immediate re-nomination; though many issues can be addressed by a hard-working nominator, when expansion in particular is needed, a quick fail followed by working on it then peer assessing is often a good course of action. And thanks for your review! Kingsif (talk) 13:36, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Venezuela at the 1956 Summer Olympics
The article Venezuela at the 1956 Summer Olympics you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Venezuela at the 1956 Summer Olympics for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Willbb234 -- Willbb234 (talk) 19:01, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi, Kingsif. A few months ago, you helped assess Socrates Nelson, an article I substantially expanded, per our discussion here (the assessment was made at 05:40 UTC, 24 December). Since then, I've made a good deal of improvements (e.g. expanding out the first two sections, adding more media, dividing sections into paragraphs for readability), and Howcheng wrote what I believe is a nice, tidy lead section for the article.
Maybe I'm being too harsh on myself, but I'm not sure the article is approaching A-class or GA status quite yet, mostly for the reason that almost all of this research has been done independently by an amateur (yours truly) with resources freely available online. I'm basically convinced I've gotten as far as I can go on my own without help from an expert, poring over a nearby university's historical library to make sure there's no substantial record(s) I've missed, or traveling to Minnesota to see what physical records they may or may not keep at the Washington County/Minnesota Historical Societies. Essentially, this doubt stems from "What if there's more that I'm missing?"
^ This was past me speaking. Upon examining the GA criteria, I might actually ask you at some point to assess along GA guidelines, as I think the standard I was holding myself to to meet what I thought were GA criteria is more along the lines of a featured article. Regarding the GA criteria, I earnestly couldn't find anything wrong. I feel full of myself for saying that, but having had three months to distance myself from my own work and tidy up just a bit, I think this could be GA or close to it. Honestly, even reading the featured article criteria, the only two I get hung up on are "well-written" and "well-researched", and that's only because I know FAs are evaluated with exceedingly high standards.
However, I do believe it handily meets the criteria for B-class, and I was hoping you could properly assess that as a disinterested party. I'll make my case for B-class assessment, and since I know you've done many GA reviews in the past, I'd be very grateful to have you also unofficially, off-the-cuff weigh in on those criteria, but all of this is obviously your prerogative.
B-class
- The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations.
I've not only ensured everything I've said in the article can be backed up with reliable sources, but I've also taken care to make sure to cross-reference with other reliable sources. For many of these statements, I've included two or even three citations, either because the sources together provide a more complete picture, and/or because I don't want statements about this fairly obscure historical figure reliant on only one source, especially when crucial information that I based on only one source at first later turned out to be incorrect. With such limited resources (in most cases; you'll find a billion different sources telling you who was on the first University of Minnesota Board of Regents), I want the reader to be able to verify this obscure information with approximately the same confidence I have. Arguably the only statement in the entire article that I still want reinforced with another reliable source is his cause of death, as I could only find one (reliable) biography and could unfortunately find no obituary. I recall the selection of citations and citation combinations being fairly meticulous, because I didn't want to overcite any statement, but I also wanted to be sure the content I was writing wouldn't be a source of misinformation. This is what I'm most proud of in this article.
- The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies.
While I'm concerned about potential very small omissions or inaccuracies due to lack of access to resources that may or may not exist, I would be floored at the presence of "obvious omissions or inaccuracies." I'm embarrassed to say that I realized today I slightly misspelled the maiden name of Nelson's wife Betsey (I spelled it Barlett instead of Bartlett), but this had nothing to do with inadequate research or misinterpreting sources and everything to do with my stupid brain not being able to register a 't' right next to an 'l'. However, within the framework of my current access to sources (completing exhausting Google Books, the Internet Archive, Chronicling America, and two historical societies), I believe the article is essentially inaccuracy-free and omission-free.
- The article has a defined structure.
I see no issue with this one either. Howcheng brought the lead up to snuff, and the entire article is written essentially chronologically, broken up into four sections based on seemingly fairly distinct portions of his life.
- The article is reasonably well-written.
This is probably my weakest suit, but I believe I've done a reasonable job presenting the information that I have to work with. When you recommended WP:GOCE (who I still intend to consult now that I've ironed out a lot of issues with the article), you noted issues about flow and suggested adding more detail and, even if that failed, using different sentence styles. While I would probably need to ask a third party such as GOCE about changing sentence styles, an inexorable issue still arises where there's just no detail present in any sources I can find to break up that jumpy cadence. Unfortunately, as a fairly obscure 19th century state politician, there's adequate coverage of significant positions he attained, but no meaningful, substantial coverage of what he did in those positions. I've scoured the sources I have at my disposal and largely know by heart what each one covers about Nelson, and I believe you would come to the same conclusion. However, I do think the content is substantially more readable now than it was before, especially since the prose has been broken into paragraphs. I don't know of any MoS violations in the prose; though I haven't checked it over rigorously, I can only guess such possible violations are fairly trivial.
- The article contains supporting materials where appropriate.
I believe I've done a good job creating the infobox and providing what little media I can relating to this subject. Unfortunately, I have no reason to believe there's a surviving photograph of the subject. If there is, I can only imagine it exists within the records of the Minnesota Historical Society or the Washington County Historical Society or as a family heirloom. There exist old photographs of Stillwater that could paint a more complete picture for readers, but I've already had a discussion on Commons about the possibly iffy copyright situation of old photographs liked that. As far as other supporting materials, I considered a timeline of Nelson's political career but made the determination it would be a clunky mess bordering on useless, whereas I believe the image of the commemorative tablet fits very nicely into this section.
- The article presents its content in an appropriately understandable way.
It's sort of hard to make a case for this one, because there's not much to say. As I noted, I'm absolutely not a historian. I wrote this in the voice of an amateur, and any term I can foresee not being understood by a typical reader has a wikilink that can resolve this within the first sentence of the article. This criteria is probably more relevant for fields with a lot of jargon, but I just don't foresee anybody getting stuck on this one because they lack any requisite historical knowledge.
- Reader's experience: "Readers are not left wanting, although the content may not be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher."
I foresee a very narrow scope of readers who would be left wanting. I even think this would be an excellent starting point for an expert historian looking to create a detailed account of Nelson's life or of early Stillwater. Perhaps the discovery of some obscure historical source would lead the article to be expanded, but I have very little reason to believe there's much left to explore without new sources. It's a bit outdated, but Talk:Socrates Nelson shows you the sorts of vague, ostensibly not-that-important loose ends I have. The political decisions and maneurverings made by Nelson as a state senator were highly unlikely to have stood out enough to have gained any substantial coverage, and while it would be nice to definitively determine where he stood on slavery as part of his 'Political career' section, the most I have to go off of is an op-ed in a rival political party's newspaper as well as the circumstantial evidence that he was a member of a party that largely supported slavery. Until some totally new source of information can be found and pored over, I've pretty much hit bedrock here. This is now far and away the most complete biography of Nelson that I know of.
GA-class
I won't repeat anything from my case for the article's promotion to B-class, but this is where I believe it stands right now:
1. Well written: a)
- the prose is clear
This one is hardest for me to judge, but having come back after three months, this all reads just as well to me as I'm sure it did in my head back in January.
- the prose is concise
I don't think I meander in the prose, and footnotes that do meander are used sparingly and contribute to the depth of knowledge on the subject.
- the prose is understandable to an appropriately broad audience"
Elaborated upon above at "The article presents its content in an appropriately understandable way.
- spelling is correct
Resolved as of today (thanks, brain).
- grammar is correct
I like to think I'm good about dotting my i's and crossing my t's when it comes to grammar, and I don't see this as an exception.
b)
- it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections
I think Howcheng did a great job here, and while I didn't scour their lead for mistakes, I couldn't find any just by reading the MoS's lead section guidelines. Given its length, I don't believe citations are necessary in this particular article's lead.
- it complies with the manual of style guidelines for layout
I will have to check this one to make sure, but if a violation of this does exist, it has to be completely trivial to fix.
- it complies with the manual of style guidelines for words to watch
The worst I could find of this is that a couple of the footnotes are the tiniest bit weasely just because I didn't want to fill them with example citations. However, it would be completely possible to substantiate these with two or three sources apiece; it'd just look much messier.
- it complies with the manual of style guidelines for fiction
N/A
- it complies with the manual of style guidelines for list incorporation.
N/A
2. Verifiable with no original research: a)
- it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline
The worst I can see here is that I use the word 'Bibliography' for a header, but the MoS doesn't disallow it, and I don't believe there's any issue with the context it's used in.
b)
- all inline citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons
See above for B-class argument.
- science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines
N/A
c)
- it contains no original research
Honestly, I'm not sure to what extent original research about this subject is even possible.
d)
- it contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism.
In addition to most of the sources I used being well out of copyright, I don't really have an argument except "I didn't plagiarize; trust me."
3. Broad in its coverage: a)
- it addresses the main aspects of the topic
Please see above: "The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies."
b)
- it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail
I don't feel like this is an issue here. Even things that are slightly tangential are kept very brief, and they still contribute a depth of knowledge about Nelson himself. For example, I spend 12 words discussing what happened to Nelson's lumber mill – one of two businesses he's most well-known for – after his death, and I note in 19 words that he owned a horse later in life, as it shows that he likely spent some of his later years horseback riding. It's detail to be sure, but I feel it's far from cruft.
4. Neutral:
- it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
Honestly, if you're coming off as biased in an article like this, you're probably doing something horribly wrong. I'd almost say N/A.
5. Stable:
- it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
I don't hestitate to call the article's edit history pristine.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio: a)
- media are tagged with their copyright statuses
Got these straight off of Commons, and they sure are.
- valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content
N/A
b)
- media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
There are only three, and I believe they are.
- Reader's experience: "Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems
I recognize this is a gutsy statement, but were you to convince everybody on Earth to want to learn about Socrates Nelson, I would be very surprised were there more than 100 for whom this article would not be useful in some way. I earnestly think this article has pushed the frontier on publicly accessible knowledge on this very niche subject and basically dwarfs everything else.
- approaching (but not equaling) the quality of a professional encyclopedia.
It's difficult to find an adequate comparison on *EB*, but I'll place their article for Stillwater here. Perfectly serviceable and well-researched, but I don't see it as anything special either, and I'd feel my work is at least approaching if not equaling this level of quality.
You're more experienced than I am, and ultimately, I wouldn't want a good article as some sort of unearned trophy; I just want a good article so I know I've improved it as best as I reasonably can. So if I'm totally wrong about this, I want to be put in my place. I know this is a lot, by the way; I'm writing this with the tempered expectation that you have every right to decline this request, and I'll understand if you decide not to take it. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 09:14, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- @TheTechnician27: I am planning on getting around to this, by the way! Kingsif (talk) 17:11, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Kingsif: I know this was a massive text dump out of nowhere (with some quality, rambly 3 A.M. writing), so I'm enormously happy to have you take an in-depth look, even if it ends up being months from now. Between when I wrote this request and now, I've also managed to add to the article: where he attended school, what he did before moving to Illinois, that he was one of the founding members of the Minnesota Democratic Party, and more information about his death through an obituary (something which for the life of me I couldn't find in the LOC's database). So it wasn't "essentially omission-free" (A+ Dunning–Kruger material from my 3 A.M. past self, though), but I still think I'm getting asymptotically close to an article that's complete. Interestingly, I discovered that the Minnesota Historical Society keeps a massive trove of old newspapers available for free online, and I've already used those sources to expand the article (including some of the items above), so I plan to keep digging through the 200-something matches I found while searching his name in their database – most of which I believe to be routine coverage or about information already covered, so don't expect a massive expansion anytime soon.
- All that is to say: "No rush; I'll keep on keeping on." TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 02:36, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Kingsif: Well, I think I'm finally about wrapping up. The National Register survey gave me massive insight into an aspect of his life that was severely lacking in my sources, allowing me to fill in a lot of gaps (and make better use of my existing sources). What was once a single sentence about his real estate speculation (which itself was false due to my own misreading of a source) is now over a paragraph of information. I've also done my best to make the prose less dry, and I stumbled across an old lithograph (uploading it to Commons was a nightmare) of a panoramic sketch of Stillwater drawn in 1870, which should be a useful visual for readers. I furthermore discovered almost 200 of these sketches by the same artist, most of which aren't on Commons (let alone in their original quality), so this may prove helpful for other articles as well. Knowing what I do today, I would've laughed in myself-from-a-month-ago's face for suggesting it was GA material, but I actually do think that's the case now. Given I started out this article knowing only what was in the original article and given how clumsy and riddled with inaccuracies the article's progression was, I'm quite proud of how it's turned out. As best I can tell, I'm now an expert on this niche part of history, and apparently now Wikipedia's readership can be too.
- There are three things I still want to do, but I don't think the latter two would impact a GA review. The first is that I have to figure out how many people and what people were on the resolutions committee during the Stillwater convention. Two reliable sources seem to both give completely different answers, so I'm going to do more reading of the surrounding material in them and see if this is just a misunderstanding on my part or if they really are mutually contradictory. The two sources in question are this one (currently represented in the article) and this one. The second is that I'm considering merging the 'Later life' and 'Legacy' sections into 'Later life and legacy', wherein the two paragraphs in 'Legacy' would be combined into one. They're much shorter than the other three sections (and as a bonus, this would reduce the table of contents' length), but I also don't think it's unreasonable for them to be distinct sections. And the third is that – while I have ever-waning confidence there's much more to find about Nelson's political life – I want to expand the reader's understanding of the immediate context surrounding it through short but insightful additions to the section. As an example, I changed "Reiner would win the election held on November 6, 1860, defeating Nelson" to "Reiner would win the election held on November 6, 1860, defeating Nelson as part of a string of legislative gains for Minnesota's Republican Party." The addition, though rather small, expands the reader's contextual understanding without straying into extraneous rambles.
- Speaking of rambling, sorry for these diary-style rambles. While the article received some attention back in January from the DYK and On this Day, I'm basically its sole maintainer (lots of work; little oversight), and you're one of the two people on the site who I believe to be interested in its development (interested because I roped you in, but interested nevertheless).

Reversion at Helen McCrory
Hello. Regarding your reversion of my edit at Helen McCrory's article: is there a policy or guideline that says every single project in the filmography section requires a citation? I've never seen that before. My edit summary cited WP:CITEKILL and yours just said they were necessary. I fail to see how all of those sources were necessary, and it clutters the text. Abbyjjjj96 (talk) 19:53, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Abbyjjjj96: Yes, filmographies need to be cited. Also, CITEKILL applies to one fact being supported by an excessive number of cites, so wouldn't be a reason to remove those, anyway, since there was only one per role. Kingsif (talk) 19:54, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- But is there a policy or guideline that says that? WP:CITEKILL is not just about too many citations for one piece of information, and links to WP:BLUE (see the "Citing everything" section). Abbyjjjj96 (talk) 20:10, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Abbyjjjj96:
is there a policy or guideline that says that
- "that" being "citing information"? Am I to assume that you've been leaving things uncited over fear that there'll be too many? Or adding uncited statements? Pillar policies WP:V and WP:NOR are what you're asking about. The better question is why you think that, unlike everything else on Wikipedia, a filmography does not need to be cited... Kingsif (talk) 20:19, 16 April 2021 (UTC)- Most actors articles I've edited have not had citations in the "Filmography" section, so I'd assumed that was standard and hadn't really thought about it. Looking around now has lead me to WP:FILMOGRAPHY which has multiple style examples: no citations in filmography table example #1, many citations in example #2, and citations for every project in example #3. I'm going to query it at the WP:FILMBIO talk page. Abbyjjjj96 (talk) 20:56, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Complaint about your edits at WP:AN3
Please see WP:AN3#User:Kingsif reported by User:Erikdr (Result: ), which is about an edit war at 2019 Sri Lanka Easter bombings. You can respond to the complaint if you wish. EdJohnston (talk) 00:28, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- It appears that User:Erikdr opened a WP:DRN here in April but you never responded there. Is this correct? Nothing compels you to participate at DRN, but if you fail to do so and then continue to revert at 2019 Sri Lanka Easter bombings that could cause concern by admins that you are edit warring. If you change your mind about DRN, they will reopen the case so you can join. I still have to decide how to close the complaint at WP:AN3 which is a complaint that *you* are edit warring. EdJohnston (talk) 01:52, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- @EdJohnston: I mean, I think it's clear to anyone that I'm not edit warring, given I have made one reasonable revert in the last what, several weeks? And yes, Erik has a terrible command of both English and Wikipedia editing in general, and insists that the 2019 Sri Lanka Easter bombings article only covering the facts of the event and not opinions on the background is a detriment, because someone mentioned it on Quora. I tried to explain why his edits are bad and he started harassing me. So no, I'm not going to engage with him at all, since it's not a dispute so much as a bad editor refusing to stop. He can keep making complaints to try and get his way but anyone reasonable should revert unsourced opinion, not that I've done it more than maybe twice this month. I don't get how someone supposedly experienced can be so adamant on something so wrong, but there you have it. Kingsif (talk) 21:33, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi, Thank you for reviewing my recently created article Cristian Härdin (Swedish professional golfer). I just wonder which fact you think are not enough verified? I thought I had referred to sources on almost everything mentioned. There are 17 different sources mentioned. Regards/EEJB

This is the correct spelled full name in the persons passport, but, as mentioned, sometimes another and more common spelling are used. This is ref number 1.
His professional win is from golfdata.se https://golfdata.se/tournytt/resultatlista.asp?TID=MH0832B mentioned under External links. I can put this at the result table too. I can also put relevant references on all pragraphs. Regards/

Kingsif, I have no idea whether you're talking on GA reviews these days—I've been around very little lately—but this GA review was abandoned by the reviewer in midstream, and no one has shown any signs of picking it up even though it's been listed under Second Opinion for quite a while. It is a long article, and could be more than you'd like to bite off, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Thanks for all the work you do—I've seen your recent work at DYK—even if this turns out to be something you'd rather not take up. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:30, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

WikiCup 2021 May newsletter
The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.
Our top scorers in Round 2 were:
- The Rambling Man, with 2963 points from three featured articles, 20 featured article reviews, 37 good articles, 73 good article reviews, as well as 22 DYKs.
- Epicgenius, with 1718 points from one featured article, 29 good articles, 16 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
- Bloom6132, with 990 points from 13 DYKs and 64 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
- Hog Farm, with 834 points from two featured articles, five good articles, 14 featured article reviews and 15 good article reviews.
- Gog the Mild, with 524 points from two featured articles and four featured article reviews.
- Lee Vilenski, with 501 points from one featured article, three good articles, six featured article reviews and 25 good article reviews.
Sammi Brie, with 485 points from four good articles, eight good article reviews and 27 DYKs, on US radio and television stations.- Ktin, with 436 points from four good articles, seven DYKs and 11 "In the news" items.
Please remember that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of Round 2 but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in Round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

DYK Approved page
Kingsif, please don't hand-delete nomination templates from the Approved page. First, they disappear automatically if the promotion was done correctly, and if there are issues with the promoted template, sometimes a portion of the nomination stays on the page, indicating a problem.
Second, Wugbot comes by every other hour on the odd hour and does the cleanup automatically, which keeps the history much cleaner and makes it easier to see at a glance how many articles were promoted and removed. We lose that with the automatic cleanup.
Third, it saves you time, which is also very useful. Thanks for diving in at DYK! BlueMoonset (talk) 04:40, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
- Ah, that's a habit from when there were so many approved hooks templates weren't transcluding and it was useful, I didn't think it confused WugBot (and it takes as long as typing "promoted") so I just autopiloted through it even though we're low now. Kingsif (talk) 05:08, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

(about hooks) ... that the Main page is seen by millions of people, but only thousands click on a DYK?

So I still see no reason to link to Roman villa in a hook about a certain museum, but not to the artist who made it possible. Just for explanation. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:49, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

- @Teblick: Oh? I was cleaning up the article after Walter passed, and I don't think I would have overlooked a missing date citation, but it was on instinct to undo an edit that just took out date templates - vandals do it on the daily. If there isn't a cite, feel free to revert back. Kingsif (talk) 21:30, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Reviewing
Hi! I'm considering reviewing good article nominations; do you have any advice? Best regards! --NoonIcarus (talk) 16:33, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
- Hi, that's great! Is there any specific part of the process or criteria you'd like to know more about? And my general advice is to get the copyvio check done first - not only can it be tricky (and if the copyvio is bad you save yourself drawing out a review) but it can also reveal spots to look at for the rest of the review, like prose issues, NPOV, and broadness. I always give feedback for general improvements as well as what is strictly required to "pass", because the GA process really boils down to article improvement, but other reviewers don't, and you'll probably pick up your own style after a few. For your first review, I'd suggest a shorter article, and perhaps one that has already been formally assessed for B-class. Kingsif (talk) 17:46, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
- Excellent, I understand. I was wondering mostly about how detailed the observations should be, but I guesss this gives me a fair idea of the review. Rest assured that I would let you know about any possible questions during the process. Many thanks! --NoonIcarus (talk) 18:21, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

The House of Flowers: The Movie
I noticed that you removed the PROD tag that I had added to this article. You're rationale was that it is "clearly notable", however, you left the "notability" tag, which makes me wonder if you really think the film is notable. Can you expand on why it is "notable" enough to have the PROD removed but not notable enough to remove the notability tag, which clearly questions whether it is truly notable or not? Thanks! Donaldd23 (talk) 12:55, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Donaldd23: I also noted it wasn't yet out; looking at the TV series and 2019's related movie, there is a clear precedent that it is notable almost purely by existing, but as it hasn't yet been released, the sources for that are few. Until there are significant sources, it needs the notability tag (which is focused on finding sources, not declaring the subject is non-notable). But yes, a Netflix movie made by one of Mexico's biggest directors based on his award-winning TV series is notable. It could be deleted as CRYSTALBALL(?), but is coming out this month so that move would be pretty pointless in practice. Kingsif (talk) 13:04, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Kingsif, I hope all is well with you. This review was opened back on April 5, and the reviewer stopped editing on April 10. They have disappeared for months at a time in the past, and leave the nominators hanging; this isn't the first time I've had to find replacement reviewers for them. (There's another review that they opened the same day and never began; I think for that one I'll just have the review page deleted, since we have the backlog drive coming up in ten days.) I was wondering whether you'd be willing to take a look, see whether the issues listed were addressed as fully as needed, and see whether there are any other issues that need to be addressed.

Reviewing
Hi again, Kingsif. I went looking around the backlog of good article nominations, and I decided that I want to do one for myself. I originally made some edits on Bionicle (video game) – things like fixing typos, adding explanatory interjections for some of the Bionicle jargon for non-fans (such as myself), and adding a couple reviews to the 'Reception' section to round it out a bit – because I wanted to shape it up and possibly review it for B-class criteria. I feel my contributions are fairly minor in the grand scheme of things and that the short time I spent editing it has not biased me, let alone enough that it could sway my decision.
This would be my first GA review, so just to err entirely on the side of caution – even though I think it's perfectly fine – I wanted to ask: would there be any issue with this? TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 22:06, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- Just to clarify, I'm the top by the amount of edits at 21, but that's only because its far-and-away primary contributor made comparatively massive changes in only a couple of edits (one was 13.25k, and another was 3.8k); meanwhile, I have a "baby steps" approach to making edits. Likewise, I'm the second highest in terms of authorship, but: my character count is highly inflated by citations; my authorship pales in comparison to #1; and not many others have done much with this version of the article. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 23:44, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- @TheTechnician27: Hi again! That should all be fine, most editors can look at the editing stats and see that X% isn't the most important number (WikiGnomes rack up large authorship of articles without even knowing sometimes!) and if you say that you haven't become biased, honor system applies :) It's not like there can't be clean-up when considering reviewing for GAN, and for some reviewers this will be quite common. If that's how you like to approach it, that's fine and you can still review. Kingsif (talk) 12:49, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Glad to hear it! I went ahead and performed a preliminary review using GAList. Maybe too long-winded, which is why I preferred fixing some problems myself before a full review. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 18:36, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Update: So I'm performing my second GA review – this time on Marjorie Taylor Greene (yes, I know; it's a hell of an article to take on for just my second review) – and I was hoping I could ask you, the more experienced reviewer, for advice. I'm reviewing for criteria 2c and 2d, and unfortunately, there's a dead video link that's the sole supporter of a statement in the article's 'Personal life' section (I could not find any alternative). I believe it to be permanently dead until somebody comes along and uploads an archive out of the blue (as the video was circulated on Twitter and cited by multiple reliable sources, I'm of the opinion that offline archives exist). Firstly, I know that the source itself is reliable and what it purports to be, as it's referenced directly and even embedded by several reliable sources, including Politico. Secondly, the claims attributed to it are fairly time, e.g. that she was baptized at age 7 to take her First Communion. Thirdly, I recognize that – while WP:LINKROT notes that a dead link "harms verifiability" – it is Wikipedia policy that reliable sources should not be rejected simply because they are difficult to access. However, I wonder if you think this could be an extenuating circumstance given 1) there's technically no concrete evidence an offline archive exists, 2) this falls under the purview of WP:BLP, and 3) the claim isn't absolutely crucial to understanding her personal life. Thank you. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 22:25, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Weird revert of copy edits
[13]. What's this about poor grammar? –Novem Linguae (talk) 01:47, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- 1. It's not a copyedit when you're chopping up paragraphs and rearranging them arbitrarily without keeping refs in place. And it must have been arbitrary: connected facts were separated and moved out of chronology so it barely made sense to me, and I know all the facts. Don't call it a copyedit, that's like writing "typo" in an edit reason with a -1000 byte change. We know it's a lie to look good. 2.
qualified to participate on the Belarus Olympic team
might be acceptable grammar at a push, though I've never heard anyone say "participate on", but it certainly is not when the addition cuts in half the verb phrase "participate at". The whole edit was a massive downgrade in quality, clarity, and sourcing. Feel free to make actual improvements, keeping phrases and sources whole, of course. Kingsif (talk) 01:56, 5 August 2021 (UTC)- You seem to be stating multiple opinions as fact here. For example, that "participate on X team" is bad grammar, or that "inserting paragraph breaks is not copy editing". This is the first I'm hearing of either of these things, and I suspect you may not be correct here. I also don't appreciate you accusing me of lying. Anyway, the changes were minor, so not really worth discussing further. Have a nice day. –Novem Linguae (talk) 02:09, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- You seem to have selective reading. Changing "participate at" to "participate on [...] at" is what I said was breaking grammar, and inserting para breaks and then moving those chunks around without their refs is what I said was not copyediting. And those aren't opinions. Disrupting verb phrases is bad grammar, orphaning statements from refs is not copyediting. But, is rephrasing descriptions of your poor edits to look good also lying? Minor edits they may be, but then why come to me claiming they're not bad, hmm. Kingsif (talk) 11:34, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- What's this nonsense about "looking good"? Also who is "we" in
We know it's a lie to look good.
? –Novem Linguae (talk) 12:45, 5 August 2021 (UTC)- Yes, please ignore the points, focus on a side comment, and call me "nonsense". That's how to address (distract from) issues.
To answer, in case that was remotely serious, "looking good" is saying,you (general 'you', much like the general 'we', much like the general 'they', commonly-used in English since you're claiming to be unaware of that, too)someone notices they (general 'they', like...) messed up and are trying to tweak the facts so they can claim they didn't and say it's just a matter of perspective. As a case study, this, objectively, is a mess. Five short paragraphs, two of only two sentences that barely make sense standing alone, followed by three long paragraphs, does not a readable section make. Or, copyediting isn't just "find all the fragments that mention X and stick them in a paragraph together, regardless of context and chronology, and forget about moving/copying refs!". By claiming it was "just a copyedit, why revert a copyedit" is an insult to copyediting, and an obvious attempt to defend a bad edit (or, in short, "look good"). I'm sarcastic because I genuinely do not believe you are unaware of all this. If you somehow are, and I'm being serious and genuine now, maybe WP:GOCE can offer some guidance, because if that kind of "copyediting" is something you do regularly, WP articles are the worse for it.

I'm going until the end
Hi, just letting you know that I put hours of work into styling the text into something readable, while all you did were a couple of clicks to return it to a version of "encyclopedia" suitable for robots, not human beings. If you did find issues with original sourcing or source hijacking (as you state), you could've a) corrected them yourself and b) notified me prior to reverting. And this is just a piece of a problem most WP editors have when they disregard completely editor etiquette and find it appropriate by behaving like you just did (moreover, some even state that "it's not out job to correct your mistakes" - talk about 'productive' behavior!). Please either prove to me that this is constructive behavior (in a way I fail to see) or report me right away because I am going to edit war with you. Regards, --Whydoesitfeelsogood (talk) 16:12, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Whydoesitfeelsogood: You do not cite sources. You add information that you think improves the encyclopedia but isn't even in good English, let alone well-styled. Source hijacking is when you insert information not in sources that appears attributed to those sources. The only way to fix that is to remove it. I do not know which sources you are reading. You need to add them to Wikipedia. Please prove to me how reverting an edit that includes unsourced information that appears sourced (and, therefore, if left, buried in edit history, would need detailed combing to identify as unsourced), and then leaving a talkpage message, is *not* constructive behavior. I will report you if you continue, believe me, because sourcing is important, something you appear unable to understand. Kingsif (talk) 16:16, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Whydoesitfeelsogood: Thank you. You have convinced me to block you for editwarring, WP:OR, and making unsourced edits. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:28, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Paula Craig
Thanks for the note Kingsif. Not sure if the hook works without the picture as that was the clue that she was paraplegic. Without that it is "just another" channel swimmer. I guess we could add "paraplegic" to the hook, but I believe we cannot just use it as an adjective as she is not a disabled person but a person with a disability. I don't have an image of her swimming as she is not known for that (until the 16th) and its hard to get images anyway (as you may know). There is a cropped headshot of her in commons if you want to use that.

Thank you for your excellent work in promoting hooks at DYK. When I became an admin last year, I was determined that DYK should never grind to a halt because of a failure of prep sets being moved into the queue. Well, that hasn't happened, but sometimes prep set building is a bit spasmodic, so I have found it necessary to lend a hand there from time to time. In this respect, Yoninah is sorely missed because she acted as a sort of unofficial coordinator, maintaining standards, filling sets and moving things along. Still, we struggle along without her, and things will become easier when we return to one set of hooks a day. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:48, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Cwmhiraeth: - Yoninah was a great guiding hand who helped with hookiness of my noms and those I was reviewing. To be able to fit that into everything else we saw her do was a lot of dedication to quality with very little recognition. That said, if you're around to move the preps to queues, I'll be around to help the preps get filled :) Small efforts to get readers engaged Kingsif (talk) 09:38, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Sockpuppet query
Hello, Kingsif,
I belatedly saw your message on User talk:Gazeteci Sabah 1453 about writing an article about Ali Al Suleiman. Aside from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ali Al Suleiman (journalist), you will find probably a dozen pages with a variation of this person's name and occupation are semi- or extended-protected which is why Ali Al Suleiman is requesting help from experienced editors to produce an article on him. All that he has tried to do is produce an article on himself or to add his credits to projects he says he has worked on. His SPI case is at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/علي أبو عمر. This has less to do with non-English sources and more to do with cross-wiki abuse. Here you will see a case page with over 200 sockpuppets listed. If this editor wanted to contribute to building Wikipedia and writing other articles, I might have some sympathy but as far as I've seen, he is only interested in self-promotion.
But I think your arguments wanting to help him show remarkable good faith on your part and I'm glad that you have this general attitude towards editors looking for help. Liz Read! Talk! 23:57, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Liz: Thanks for the information, while I still think this is a well-intentioned editor who has gone about it all wrong and may not have the English capabilities to convey this or understand the consequences, well, after a few global blocks you work that out and explain it.

WikiCup 2021 September newsletter
The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being 
Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are .svg){kind=small}
Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, 
BennyOnTheLoose, 
Amakuru and 
Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. .jpg){kind=small}
Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

Reply-link officially superseded by DiscussionTools
Hi! Reply-link has officially been superseded by mw:DiscussionTools, which you can install using the "Discussion tools" checkbox under Preferences → Beta features. DiscussionTools, developed by the WMF's Editing Team, is faster and has more features than reply-link, and it wouldn't make sense for me to keep developing reply-link. I think the Editing Team is doing amazing work, and look forward to what they can do in the future. Thank you for using reply-link over the years! Enterprisey (talk!) 06:11, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
Takeover of the UCV rectory
Hi! I know that you have started articles about the Central University of Venezuela, which is why I wanted to comment that not long ago I started an article in Spanish about the takeover of the university's rectory in 2001 (es:oma del rectorado de la Universidad Central de Venezuela. Unfortunately it is dependant on one source, but I thought you might be interested in taking a look at it. --NoonIcarus (talk) 01:16, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021
Hello Kingsif/Archives,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:31, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
Stop messing around on Talk:Winston Marshall
Please stop messing around at Talk:Winston Marshall. This includes your efforts to archive a discuss when there's clearly opposition, as well as you arbitrarily removing comments. As I said in my edit summary and at ANI, I don't think User:Domdeparis's comment was particularly necessary. They'd already warned you and in any case the article talk page wasn't the place to deal with these issues. However it's unnecessary to remove it and clearly inappropriate for you to be doing so considering it concerned you; and further you're the pot calling the kettle black as your comments including the comment the reply your removed was in response to, were in the same vein with nonsense that doesn't belong on the article talk page. It's also inappropriate for you to be archiving that discussion, you were involved and people clearly objected to your archival. If you feel the issue is resolved because you no longer dispute the changes that's fine. Just stop participating. if others feel it's resolved then no one will reply and it's over. If others want to add on their support in the event of future dispute that's fine to. Once the discussion has ended, it can be removed after a few weeks or whatever normal archiving is. The talk page isn't particularly active so there's zero need to archive so fast. As I said at ANI, if you continue such nonsense I'd fully support a partial block of you from the article talk page as a minimum sanction required to stop your disruption, which will also mean you need to be blocked from the article itself since while you seem to have stopped edit warring there, you cannot edit it if you cannot discuss your edits. Nil Einne (talk) 08:36, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Nil Einne: I don’t know of any ANI, but I take grace in the fact you acknowledge Dom’s entire attitude to me has been completely uncalled for. However, I dispute that the archive discussion could ever be useful, and reiterate that should anyone want to discuss the matter, the only way to be productive would be starting fresh. Leaving the current discussion there just seems to invite Dom to leave more and more defamatory comments, which is inappropriate. I also request you strike your implication that at any point I edit-warred on the article when there isn’t even a single full reversion cycle, check the history. I never wanted to get into conflict - a compromise suggested by Luke that both Dom and I agreed with was reached days ago and the matter should have been ended, but Dom continued to pursue how the matter began and at each request to be left alone I was very blatantly personally provoked, unrelated to content; without someone out for my blood, I am very useful to the article, just see the successful talk page discussions that occurred before. In short, if you’re warning me to just leave it alone, Dom should have been warned first. I clearly wanted to move on, he kept forcing me to defend myself. Kingsif (talk) 20:21, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
- (EC, I can't be bothered reading your changes, sorry). You were informed of the ANI, if you don't want to participate, that's your choice. And I never said uncalled for. I just said they did things they shouldn't have. They were right to call you out on your atrocious behaviour, but should not have done so on the article talk page and should have been more careful in their wording. If you were not receptive on your talk page, so be it they should have just let it be. It's your funeral since if you keep up with this nonsense you're liable to end up indefinitely blocked from the whole of Wikipedia. To be clear this means I'm not sure why you're complaining about Domdeparis's behaviour since yours has been far worse. Per WP:Edit warring, "
An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert.
" but in any case there are two full reversions here [14] [15] and this full reversion of a single edit [16] (albeit the single edit was one of a series of 3). A particular problem as I see is it is it's clear you've acknowledged even if you refuse to say it, that you cannot defend your edits, so really there was no reason to ever revert. While WP:BRD is a thing, if your edits made the article worse, then you should not have reverted. Sadly you did then found you couldn't defend your edits and gave up. So no I'm not withdrawing my comment that you were edit warring since you were and in doing so you harmed the article. Nil Einne (talk) 20:26, 12 September 2021 (UTC)- @Nil Einne: ((edit conflict) I find your assessments of my edits to both the article and talk page to be inaccurate. I welcome you to revisit them, with a mindset that doesn’t favor the guy who whined to you) I think it’s clear I’m not touching anything that Dom could go near, because his comments are deeply unpleasant, so you know there’ll be no need for any even partial blocks, and it leaves a bad taste you’d basically threaten that. I would also like you to strike your characterisation of my behaviour as atrocious. Seriously, I was just defending myself against his baseless persistent accusations. As I’ve repeated this entire time, I tried to amend Dom’s edits on the article to keep what I thought was their intention but also preserve the compromises that had been reached before. The second I do so, he viciously attacks me/my intentions and won’t shut up for days. I haven’t acknowledged my edits to the article were indefensible in the least, and they didn’t make it worse at all, but there was objection and then a different compromise that I felt satisfactory was reached, superseding the previous local consensus as well as Dom and my edits. It’s better now, but my edits weren’t bad (ec: and I didn’t “give up”). And no, I haven’t been informed of an ANI, though I typically think with neutral admins (ec: in this case, you seem to lean against me, but I won’t complain since the outcome appears to be a shrug) the edits stand for themselves anyway. On that note, I don’t know if you’ve said anything to Dom but if you’re warning me to leave the discussion be (as I have been wanting to do, if you read my comments on the talk page), he should’ve been warned first (as said in my edits to the above comment). Kingsif (talk) 20:39, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

- @Nil Einne: This is separate to the kind of thread above, which I’d understand if you didn’t respond to, and probably isn’t massively productive. I’m sure you’ve realised the issue here isn’t to do with the article - neither Dom or I editing once compromise reached - nor to do with the talk page, either, as I was happily communicating with Luke there. No, it’s an interpersonal issue, and so I would happily take an IBAN on Dom as long as he got the same, though I maintain if I was ever rude to him it was in response to his wild slinging at me. Besides content creation, I absolutely pride myself on my contributions to help find neutrality on controversial articles, particularly South American politics, which is probably why persistently being accused of BLP violations on an article where I was just trying to do the same stings so much. Without that sting, unreasonably caused by Dom, I am a good editor and, more relevantly, keep talks on track. Kingsif (talk) 21:10, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
- You do realize that the history of your user talk page shows you were notified about the ANI discussion at 06:54 (UTC) on September 11th? You then reverted both the notification and a comment from @Shibbolethink at 15:20 (UTC) on September 11th. You are very entitled to remove anything from your talk page that you wish but it would be great if you would, at the very least, acknowledge you were informed as per policy. I haven't evaluated the entire dispute between yourself and @Domdeparis so I won't make any further comment about said dispute until I do. --ARoseWolf 12:10, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- @ARoseWolf: Well now I’ve checked, and yes, Dom did leave a message. But see, I just got a bell notification saying the user I had asked to stop leaving me messages, had left me a message. I clicked through “show changes” and hit undo without scrolling down to see what was written. Given I had been asking for days for him to leave me alone, and I think I had already informed him I had turned off notifications for him, and his history of hounding my talk page just to be rude, I think it is reasonable that I believed he was just being spiteful as I would get notified of a talk page message anyway, and reasonable for me to remove this (and accidentally other messages that I now see were also ridiculous; can you be warned against doing something you didn’t do, two days after you last edited the article) without reading it. In fact, that surely makes my case: I clearly didn’t want to escalate things, I wanted to keep as far away from the guy baiting me as possible. So, no, I wasn’t notified, as someone impartial should have made sure message was received. Kingsif (talk) 20:57, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

dykstats
Hey there, Kingsif! I noticed you added David Whiting to the stats page—I checked the pageviews, and they looked accurate, so I just spent quite a bit looking for a flaw in my script to see why it hadn't picked up on Whiting (i was really, really confused),. So, as it turns out it looks like Whiting's hook actually ran for 13.3 hours instead of 12 because of a delay in the hook being off the the main page, which puts the hook at 4,689 views in 12 hours instead of 5,197, or just below the threshold. That's really close, I'm sorry about that! let me know if you've got any questions. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 04:31, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

- ... which, as it turns out, would represent a significant error in my script—it recognizes that the hook ran for 13.3 hours, but doesn't actually count the next-day views. But since there are always lingering views, we'll count it as 12.
- So, I give you the standard template for a dykstats hook:

Annual report
Whenever you can, do the rest of the write-ups you can claimed (you can also remove yours from George VI if you want, it's only there because he wound up split from his daughter). igordebraga ≠ 18:23, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
"Good" news: you can recycle most of what you wrote for this week's #1 on the annual report! (thought of copy-pasting myself, but who knows if you want to change something?) igordebraga ≠ 03:33, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Igordebraga: Go for it (though change the "4 days" to two) - I'd probably also make a note about it being such a late entry, most of those views came in what was 2022 in parts of the world! And how much of an impact White's death clearly had to rack up so many in mere hours. Kingsif (talk) 03:37, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
What is going on in the Betty White Section ?
I must apologize in advance for even bringing up the topic of her image change in the first place because it seems as if I made a mountain out of a molehill. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:204:CF80:7440:296E:659D:DBD3:740B (talk) 16:44, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
- I haven't checked it in a little while, but I really don't know. Last I saw, the underlying issue seemed to be one guy thinking that without his vote of confidence then an image can't be used... I don't know. But no, someone else would have suggested an image change (or just done it) soon enough without you, and it is standard if you look across RDs of old people with significant careers. It's not your fault. Kingsif (talk) 21:53, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
Betty White on Top 25
I looked at the Betty White section of the Top 25 Report and wanted to mention that Betty White was a staple on TV game shows for decades, from the 1950s to the 1970s back when TV game shows were a big deal. She was a hilarious contestant and even met the love of her life and third husband, Allen Ludden, when she was on his game show. Password. He proposed several times before she said, "Yes!" It might be hard to work this in with all of her other accomplishments but she was a regular feature on TV for decades before her primetime hits. Liz Read! Talk! 05:41, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Liz: Maybe we can paragraph it up; the Ludden notes can go in his entry further down the list! Kingsif (talk) 05:44, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Holocaust jokes
YOU wrote: don't invent new sentence structures to shoehorn in links, either. I've amended it to more naturally incorporate a link to the article you made, but that Holocaust humor article needs serious clean-up so I'd be cautious linking it anywhere in its current state anyway
- What do you mean "dont invent"? It is normal wikipedia process of editling. And I do want to "shoehorn" this wikilink everywhere it is relevant to attract attention to the article. Maybe someone will take some time and insytead of grumbling just impove it.
All three issues are a normal process of collaborative editing in wikipedia: nobody owns articles, but nobody chastises other's work idly: either you help or place tags. Loew Galitz (talk) 01:05, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Loew Galitz: What? I did improve it. My edit reason, which you quote, says
I've amended it to more naturally incorporate
. Did you skip that part to complain that I wasn't helping? Now, by "don't invent", I clearly meandon't invent new sentence structures
, you know, exactly what I wrote that you also quoted. It's a friendly way of saying "your English grammar is abysmal, don't put malformed fragments into other sentences with no regard for context, because then none of it is comprehensible." Shoehorning is when a link or phrase is added in a way that is unnatural; as much as you may think it relevant, if it disrupts a sentence, it is inappropriate because it ruins readability for the purpose of advertising a link. Be more careful with your grammar and manner of editing things in. Nobody owns articles, but if I'm watching one and someone is being disruptive, I'm going to remove or clean it up - if you don't like that, Wikipedia editing isn't for you. I cleaned your mess up, by the way, since you're accusing me of being unhelpfully critical (the edit reason was explaining why I'd made the change!), and you come complaining to me because you apparently can't understand more than two words of the edit reason to see that. FYI: repeatedly adding shoehorned links is not collaborative editing. Cleaning that up to keep the new content in a way that doesn't harm the old content, and leaving an edit reason explaining why, is collaborative. Kingsif (talk) 01:15, 15 January 2022 (UTC) - Also, let me dispel your belief that "either you help or place tags" when something is bad. Sorry, no, if edits are detrimental, especially when a cleaner version of them is not actually beneficial to an encyclopedia, they can be point blank undone, without clean-up or tags, to keep the article in a stable state. Kingsif (talk) 01:29, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
- I am sorry, miscommunication, because I did not ewxpress myself clearly. You did everything correctly in your article; no argument here. I was talkinn about my article Holocaust humor. As you may have noticed, my English is bad. But the subject of Holocaust humor is very notable (LOTS of references to complete books on the subject) and I am baffled nobody wrote about it in Wikipedia until this week. I wrote what I could, threw in plenty of "Further reading" and wikilinked from ewerywhere possible in hopes that someone with better writing skills will expand the article. Believe me, what I've read is enough to write more than The Holocaust article itself. I apologize that I decreased the quality of your article meanwhile. Thank you, Loew Galitz (talk) 04:42, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Loew Galitz: Yes, it is a hard subject to write about; the nuance to distinguish gallows humour from sadistic barbs is something many editors have probably worried about putting into an article of its own well. Holocaust jokes are otherwise covered, if tangentially, at related articles. I know you wrote it from scratch (I'd start with improving the structure), but be careful of WP:FORK as well. Kingsif (talk) 04:49, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for an advice on improving the structure: I agree that even small sectioning according to joke subtypes/context. It will prevent meess during possible expansion. Also, can you point out the articles which have a threat of forking. Other than Jewish humor and Black comedy. Surprizingly they don't touch my subject at all, although "Black comedy" (improved) may be used as a cross-link for the essence of the Gallows humor. (By the way, "Black comedy" is a kind of a mess as well because not drawing clear explanations of the synonyms boldfaced in the lede (I noticed that the article is a result of a mechanical merge with "Gallows humor", which resulted in the confusion similar to that you are warning me about.)) Loew Galitz (talk) 00:18, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
- Well, I was thinking of all the articles about jokes about Hitler. But Polish joke also sees some crossover. Kingsif (talk) 00:23, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

GA review mentor
Hey, I was wondering if you could be my GA mentor for a GA review as it would be my first time reviewing one. I familiarized myself with the GA criteria and read the instructions on how to review one. ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 19:12, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, @Kaleeb18:, what article are you thinking of reviewing and what mentoring would you want? (Some people want some tips before going in, others like a bit more guidance through the review, I'd be happy to help in any case!) And welcome to GANR, wonderful to have more willing reviewers! Kingsif (talk) 22:15, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- Well I think Im going to review Us Again (film) because it is pretty short and I know stuff about Disney. I would like some tips as well as some guidance through the review process. I think I will need help mostly with stuff related to WP:MOS. Thanks for helping! ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 00:20, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
Hey does this review for the lead look bad?/What would you change?
Conceived after Parrish noticed he was growing older, Us Again takes inspiration from his grandparents.
– This sentence could be restructured because it kinda comes out of nowhere and seems like it is still talking about the plot at first.Its score was composed by Pinar Toprak and was written before storyboarding and animation, in contrast to the usual filmmaking process.
– This sentence needs to make it clear that the music was written before the storyboarding and animation process began, because it was very confusing at first and I had to reread it several times to realize what the sentence was trying to say
― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 03:46, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Kaleeb18: Hmm, I don't think only two wikilinks next to each other, especially when it's unavoidable really, is SEAOFBLUE. Another note is that, it really depends on the nominator if I would outright suggest sentence replacements, especially without explanation, and not just encourage them along the right lines. If you're not familiar with the nominator, I would probably suggest not doing that (it's more like you're imposing your version rather than reviewing theirs), and instead just explain the issue, and if possible, why - so they can rewrite it their own way that addresses your issue. (On that matter, your suggested replacement for the "Conceived" sentence isn't totally grammatically sound, so be careful if you do make suggestions!) Kingsif (talk) 04:04, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the tip. How does the above look now? ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 12:39, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- Looks good, maybe something between the two, so what needs working on is narrower - like saying the first sentence could be restructured and the second needs to make it clear it was the music that was written first. P.S. I also think the things you are picking up on are good points, you seem to have read the criteria and looked through past GA reviews and I am impressed :) I also think everyone should find their own reviewing style and structure, so if you think I am kinda suppressing that, do tell me. Kingsif (talk) 18:20, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks, I find your tips to be really helpful. ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 18:30, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hey isn't there supposed to be a citation after a quote like is that a WP: policy. Im looking at the quote in development section of the article where Parrish says "It made me realize that if I spent all my time focused on what I thought I was missing, then I was going to miss the beauty in the present". or is it fine to put the citation later like they did? ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 03:28, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Kaleeb18: I don't think that technically every quotation needs its ref right after it - just that everything needs to be sourced. It is assumed that the next ref after the quotation is the source that supports it. However, it is encouraged to have refs immediately next to quotations, especially if the ref would otherwise be several sentences later/there are multiple refs in the paragraph that may be confusing. In the section here, it looks like another quotation in the next sentence is sourced by the same ref, and whoever wrote it wanted to be economical with how many times they used it (a separate issue is that, quotations notwithstanding, it is considered poor style to needlessly duplicate refs across a paragraph). So, long story short, I would ask to have a ref added at the end of the quotation: even if the ref isn't far away, it's a GA nom, so it can't hurt. Kingsif (talk) 03:34, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

- Hey, I think I'm done with my review so if you want to go over it to make sure I didn't miss anything please do. ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 13:53, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Kaleeb18: I've added a few comments that are more my input on discussion. I like what you've got, but I don't think you've addressed the coverage criteria? Is the article broad enough that it covers all the main points, not so broad that it talks about too-tangential things, and are all relevant points covered in appropriate depth (based on the importance and detail given in sources). Kingsif (talk) 21:46, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
- I mean I thought so. What are you seeing that I am not? Do you mean like some areas need to be expanded? ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 22:37, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Kaleeb18: I'm not saying there's an issue, just that you should note in your review that you've checked even if there aren't any. The review is a full review - a teacher still ticks correct answers - as well as a kind of accountability record for the article's future. So, if the article is appropriate in its broadness and depth, you have to write that you've checked. (Imagine reviewing an article with zero issues, it wouldn't look like a review if you just passed it without even saying there was nothing wrong!) Kingsif (talk) 22:47, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

I mean I think the critical reception could be expanded. So do you basically just want me to check over if anything could be added to the article like look at the refs they have and say what could be added? I'm trying to figure out how to what I'm supposed to do. ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 23:19, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, if you've done a source review, does the article reflect the sources. Like, if a source says 5 things about A and 2 things about B, does the article have sort of the same ratio? But, more, do sources in general all talk about A and B, so they're not small details that have been added, with bigger things about the subject excluded - this requires a bit of searching of your own if you're unfamiliar with the subject of the article. So, to use your example, if there isn't a lot of critical reception, it doesn't need a big critical reception section. But then, does the section mention the major views that critics have so it is representative of what sources say on the subject; and, make sure the article content isn't cherry-picking (which would make it not-neutral, too). Kingsif (talk) 23:23, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
Ahh gotcha. ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 23:51, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
- Ok so Ive looked through the ref and here is what Ive I have found. In the first three refs it says "Working with Keone and Mari was the key to making this film work..." and more I think that can be used. In the Indie Wire ref the paragraph that starts "In terms of the color palette, Disney contrasted" that paragraph can be used. And there are plenty of stuff from the CBR ref that can be added to the article. ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 02:59, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
- Okay so, Pamzeis has done everything in the GA review and it all looks good to me and I think I’m ready to pass it. Is there anything you see that is still doesn’t meet the criteria? ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 12:53, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

- @Valereee: No, the way it looked like it was going before the recent changes - I haven't looked enough into the changes to see if I would now, but some of them seem really positive! Sorry if that wasn't clear, I'll make some edits because, yeah, not the thing you want to be writing in an RfA. Kingsif (talk) 21:55, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

About this message...
Hey hey~ I saw your communication with BrownHairedGirl and saw they sent this [17]. Wanted to let you know that this in no ways is a valid sanction. WP:BANAUTH means that they cannot ban you from their talk page, even if they wanted to. Also, on a larger scale, I would not take anything personally. Remember, no single editor has authority to ban other users from their talk page, myself included. Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis 21:45, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Awesome Aasim: Thanks, and I know, but I (and hopefully anybody in their right mind) do not have an ounce of desire to ever engage with someone who has redirected and escalated a non-conflict the way BHG has there. I cannot see good faith in her immediate interpretation of my original comments as disruptive lies, and worse in that she then left comments behind and gave ever-more disgruntled characterizations of me based on nothing, but I will assume that she is having a rough time and got so angry as to cloud her judgment (and cause ridiculously extreme responses to me, and others in that thread). It does happen, and some forget to take a wikibreak when something upsets them; I can say I have in the past before noticing my own replies have shifted from sarcastic to cruel. Kingsif (talk) 05:13, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Consider though that they are currently under active sanctions. You can control-F their username on Wikipedia:Editing restrictions to see them. I would not say a report is needed as one was already done when the personal attack happened (so the issue is stale at the moment) but keep this in mind in case you do need to escalate to WP:ANB again. Also don't take anything personally, while it is not professional to leave personal attacks or rage of fits, it does happen in the real world offline as well. As Fauci has said "nothing personal, strictly business". Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis 05:21, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Also to note is that, whether I was a "fabricator" as BHG so unfoundedly accuses or not, there is no justification for her to have so quickly and viciously turned on me and escalated, again, a non-conflict so dramatically, unless she really has some stakes in the original issue we do not know about. And even then, that is her business, not mine, and I should not be attacked for her personal shit. The Signpost comment section is the closest Wikipedia has to forums, besides user talk pages, and to be raked over coals for having an opinion there (where it impacts nothing and there is no need to debate) destroys the atmosphere of collaboration this project has. We can't have nice things when users like BHG pull shit like that. Kingsif (talk) 05:18, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- I have written my fair share of unfriendly messages before, but a lot of that was when handling individual editors before becoming aware of the relevant policy or guideline. The approach I'd take is "I was confused with X so I reverted Y" (if not templating the user). Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis 05:28, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Avraham Tamir. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Daniel Efrat), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Thank you!
Helpful edit messages like the one you made here are greatly appreciated - especially when reverting changes. I was under the impression from WP:SNOPES that the source was appropriate but I do take your points about over-inclusion and end-citing. In particular, I stopped by here to thank you for articulating those with your revert. So thank you and well done! --N8 21:52, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
- @N8wilson: Thank you for the message :) Yeah, Snopes is an odd source, pretty much the only times I see it on WP is someone removing it/replacing with a tertiary source about the Snopes result. That may be the difference, Snopes and Bellingcat are fine, but even better is when NYT uses them. Kingsif (talk) 21:59, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

WikiCup 2022 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
- Epicgenius, a finalist last year, who led the field with 1906 points, gained from 32 GAs and 19 DYKs, all on the topic of New York buildings.
AryKun, new to the contest, was second with 1588 points, having achieved 2 FAs, 11 GAs and various other submissions, mostly on the subject of birds.
Bloom6132, a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
GhostRiver was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs.
Kavyansh.Singh was in fifth place with 551 points, with an FA, a FL, and many reviews.
SounderBruce was next with 454 points, gained from an FA and various other submissions, mostly on United States highways.- Ktin, another WikiCup veteran, was in seventh place with 412 points, mostly gained from In the news items.
These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.
Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hey! Noticed that about a week ago, you remarked that the twitterverse wasn't happy about the Bigg Chill/Demi Lovato hook (nom). I couldn't find anything on a search- any idea where I could find said tweets? Rather interested :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 08:12, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Theleekycauldron: I really tried to find some tweets again to link when I wrote that, but I couldn't remember any users and they do screenshots or links so I couldn't even search the hook. There were replies like "why did Wikipedia have to come for them like that", which seemed to be taken seriously by other people replying, so at least some of the outrage wasn't joking. It isn't the first time, either, just a recent one when I was replying, so you might be able to find some other examples. Kingsif (talk) 15:09, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Sarah Stierch recommended you to help edit a wiki page
Greetings,
One of my close friends has a wiki page as he was a gold medal bobsled winner for Canada in the '64 games. It was unusual as CA had no team before that Olympics. Here is a link to a recent article about his life as he died recently. I can also send you the obituary that is being written by his wife. He was such an inspiration to so many people that we would really like to get his page updated.
Any help would be great!!
His wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Emery_(bobsleigh)

DYK for List of accolades received by Shiva Baby
On 20 April 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article List of accolades received by Shiva Baby, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Shiva Baby was one of the most-awarded films not to receive an Oscar nomination in 2022? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/List of accolades received by Shiva Baby. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, List of accolades received by Shiva Baby), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Tony Meo
Hi, I'm not sure if you remember the GA review you undertook for the Tony Meo article. (Talk:Tony Meo/GA1) One of the sticking points was the performance and rankings timeline. I raised this at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Snooker#Results_tables but I don't think there was a consensus about what to do with these. There are editors who didn't take part in the discussion but who are actively creating and updating these tables. I was thinking of re-nominating the article for GA, but thought I'd check in with you first to see what you think. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:30, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- @BennyOnTheLoose: yeah, I remember. Without looking at the article now, as long as the table is ... comprehensible ... in general, I don't think there would be an issue with seeing it through to GA, unless in making it comprehensible went against the project standards (but if there was no real consensus, it doesn't seem like that would be possible?) I can check back on it, if you'd like? Kingsif (talk) 23:34, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've renominated the article. No pressure on you to review again - the comments from your previous review have already led to improvements. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 00:44, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

WikiCup 2022 May newsletter
The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
- Epicgenius, with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path.
- AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
- Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.- Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
- Lee Vilenski, with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.
The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Good article mentor advice request
I found your page from wp:Good article help/mentor. Wow, um, that's a lot of barnstars... Anyway...
I've just attempted my first GA review, and it strongly encouraged me to ask for advice if I feel I need it, so that is what I am doing. Four questions:
1: Is it better necessarily for formatted data to be in a wikitable or an image? Does it matter? The article already has it in an image with what seems like fine licensing to me.
2: For non-english citations, how important is it that the title and citation information is translated? How can that be done within a {{cite journal}} template, keeping both the original and translated name so that the source can be found easily? Is there a specific template for this? And how should editors in general decide how much is relevant material to translate in a footnote? I cannot really find any policy/guideline info about this on wikipedia. This also was a consideration for me when I was editing haltlose personality disorder ([19]) for which almost all references are non-english and I had no idea what to do, since I don't speak german or russian or french, and it seems very hard to find someone who speaks that and is also able to translate or verify decades old personality disorder language and documents (which for many of them I struggled even to verify that the source existed). Wikipedia:Verifiability#Non-English_sources and Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Additional_annotation leave a lot to be desired on how to handle this kind of situation.
3: According to prosesize, the article I reviewed has Prose size (text only): 80 kB (12087 words) "readable prose size". This is probably WP:TOOBIG and should be split into something more like summary style. At the same time, I am not sure what to say on the review about it, since I have no idea what approach for splitting would make the most sense, aside from by the first-level section headers: "Scope of embodied cognition", "History of embodied cognition", etc. Is this the way to go? What have you done in similar situations?
4: Did I miss anything "obvious" on my review? I've tried to familiarise myself with the MOS as much as I can, it still feels a bit uphill with so much policy and trying to remember all the acronyms and sections for everything. Seems like this must be a frequent consideration for you, I enjoyed reading your essay on it. It's definitely a bit of imposter syndrome too.
Darcyisverycute (talk) 14:34, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Darcyisverycute: I can answer your first three now, and look through your review and the article more when I have time to sit down, happy to help :)
1. This depends on the data, but I looked through the article and I think I know what you are referring to, and in this case, since the data is from a specific study/time and will not change, an image is fine. Indeed, it may be better so that people cannot change the fixed data.
2. It is encouraged to include title translations, and this can be achieved by adding thetrans-title= |parameter to any citation template. I wrote much of the The House of Flowers (TV series) article, which uses this largely throughout (Mexican/Spanish show). If you want verifiability help, there may be users who speak other languages who are willing to read things for you. If you look at my user page, you can see the Babel box, which has added categories for the languages at the bottom of the article; the user-enN one (I think) will take you to the category for users with English as a native language, and you can change the language code in the url to get to categories for the languages you are looking for, and leave a request for some of the users?
3. The prose size limit will rely on the subject; if you are unfamiliar with the subject and appropriate depth, you can go to the WikiProjects that support the article and ask there if the users think the article can be split and still be a sufficient overview, if information can be condensed and still sufficient, or other options. Kingsif (talk) 16:36, 21 May 2022 (UTC)- Thanks for the feedback! I will use The House of Flowers (TV series) article as a model for how to best do translated content, and thank you for mentioning the template parameter. I'll try to use the Babel categories to ask for translations like you describe. I'll also see what I can do asking the article editor and WikiProject psychology to see if/how the article can be split. Darcyisverycute (talk) 01:38, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Darcyisverycute: I don't think you need to do a whole appendix of translated quotations if there aren't an awful lot of them, and the formatting at that article is quite complex; I was just giving an example of an article with a lot of non-English sources! Sorry if that was confusing. Kingsif (talk) 15:13, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022
Hello Kingsif/Archives,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 816 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 858 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022
Hello Kingsif/Archives,
- Backlog status
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[b] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[c]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
- Backlog drive
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. 
Barnstars will be awarded.
- TIP – New school articles
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
- Misc
There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 13617 articles, as of 20:00, 2 May 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.
- Reminders
- Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
- If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing
{{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page. - If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

WikiCup 2022 July newsletter
The third round of the 2022 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 180 points, which is a lower figure than last year when 294 points were needed to progress to round 4. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
- BennyOnTheLoose, with 746 points, a tally built both on snooker and other sports topics, and on more general subjects.
- Bloom6132, with 683 points, garnered mostly from "In the news" items and related DYKs.
- Sammi Brie, with 527, from a variety of submissions related to radio and television stations.
Between them contestants achieved 5 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 51 good articles, 149 DYK entries, 68 ITN entries, and 109 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article nomination, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022
Hello Kingsif/Archives,
- Backlog status
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.
- Coordination
- MB and Novem Linguae have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. MPGuy2824 will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.
- Open letter to the WMF
- The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.
- TIP - Reviewing by subject
- Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.
- New reviewers
- The NPP School is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here.
- Reminders
- Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
- If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing
{{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page. - If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list.

That is the first time I was aware that there appears to be some lack of agreement of non-EU signings for the Spanish Women's top division. This probably affects Caroline Weir of Real Madrid who is no longer a EU due to Britain leaving the European Union. Who knows what would happen with these signings eventually.

The fourth round of the WikiCup has now finished. 383 points were required to reach the final, and the new round has got off to a flying start with all finalists already scoring.

On 15 September 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Haiti at the 1936 Summer Olympics, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that though Haiti did not compete at the 1936 Summer Olympics, its presence there made Liechtenstein change its flag?

You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Haiti at the 1936 Summer Olympics), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022
Hello Kingsif/Archives,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
- There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
- Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
- Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
- This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
- Reminders
- Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
- If you're interested in instant messaging and chat rooms, please join us on the New Page Patrol Discord, where you can ask for help and live chat with other patrollers.
- Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
- If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Early end of the backlog drive
A few days ago, new page patrollers got the backlog to zero. Due to the unprecedented success of the backlog drive, it will be ending early—at the end of 24 October, or in approximately two hours.
Barnstars will be awarded as soon as the coords can tally the results. Streak awards will be allocated based on the first three weeks of the drive, with the last three days being counted as part of week three.

Hi Kingsif, I don't know how I'll archive links using the IABot Management Interface. Achmad Rachmani (talk) 00:22, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Achmad Rachmani: Ah! In the top-left you'll see "Run bot", which gives drop-down options when you hover/click. You then pick an option, "Fix a single page" being the one that seems best for what I've seen you do so far. Clicking that takes you here, where you will be either be logged in or prompted to login. You'll then be brought back to Wikipedia and asked to allow the bot to run edits on your behalf, click "allow" if you're happy with that. At the interface, you then type the name of article - not linked, no markup - in the top text box and select the jbox right underneath it that's labelled "Add archives to all non-dead references (Optional)". In the bottom text box, type in whatever you would like as the edit reason (I usually opt for "archive"). Then run it. Kingsif (talk) 01:12, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

I just realized that I put two of your hooks in the Christmas set. I'm fine with it, but I'm just seeing if you want the Guapi hook in the Christmas Eve set instead. SL93 (talk) 22:38, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
- @SL93: Honestly, whatever works for filling the sets. I think there'll be some more Christmas hooks coming through soon, so putting Guapi on Christmas Eve would be my preference. If there's any gaps, I don't mind, either. Thanks for asking. Kingsif (talk) 22:41, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

World Cup armbands
Why remove my passage about non-FIFA captain's armbands when I've cited the actual document, published months ago and way before all this guff made the news, saying why they're forbidden?
We've seen similar faux-outrage before about the Bob Marley reference on Ajax's third shirt last season, in regards to people not taking notice of footballing body's well-established regulations. Don't blame me for using sensationalist words when the media outlets that are stirring up the storm fail to do the basic research themselves. VEOonefive 12:04, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- @VEO15: Did you read my edit summary when I removed it? Let me restate, and I'll go into further detail. The short is that it was unnecessary repetition to mention again, the source was inadequate, and the way it was added was POV editorialising.
- It is already mentioned earlier that the armband is a kit violation. Did you not see that? Around the part where the football teams say they will pay the fine (the usual punishment); it's also implicitly mentioned again later in the part where the English FA say that FIFA imposing player sanctions is not a punishment in the rules for kit violation. Because of these reasons, restating with no additional context is unnecessary.
- As you say, the source you used is the FIFA regulations (PRIMARY). As you also say, this is unrelated to the controversy. Therefore, the source has nothing to add and is inadequate for an article about controversy unless there was controversy about if it was a kit violation (which there isn't; they knew the whole time and accepted it). Furthermore, as a primary source, it is an inadequate source for what I remember of the prose you wrote with it, which included POV on the rule and not just mention of the rule (it's been a while, but I remember it began with "nevertheless", which isn't a good sign).
- Like I just said, the controversy is about the punishment for wearing the armbands. You seem to think people are getting mad (sorry, "faux" mad, apparently) at the preexisting rules when that isn't the case. Perhaps actually reading the non-primary sources you condemn would have told you this before.
- As you admit yourself here, you used sensationalist words. More than that, creating a new paragraph at the bottom of the section is a clear attempt to have it be "the final word", and to highlight this piece of information more than the crucial parts. Also, the way it was phrased (as said, I don't recall it all, but know it began "nevertheless") made it appear like Wikipedia as a whole was giving the opinion that the controversy should not exist, which is an unacceptable thing to add. It's POV editing all around.
- All in all, you seem to have got the wrong end of the stick, are unhappy that this controversy exists, and decided to insert your counter-opinion on Wikipedia without any third-party source that the "why are they whining, it's a kit violation so they shouldn't have tried" opinion is notable enough for inclusion. You violated several principles of editing, mostly appropriate sourcing and bias, so if I were you I'd just be happy to have not got a warning and definitely not have brought it up again. Kingsif (talk) 23:11, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- No. Granted that the common man (including your tabloid journalist) isn't going to trawl through a hundred-odd page PDF published by the tournament organisers to prove they were in the wrong from the off, the rational man would see through that sensationalism to know why they're wrong. VEOonefive 06:17, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- More no. Let's see...
prove they were wrong from the off
- nobody was wrong, as explained if you bothered to read, because nobody (not a single source, not a single national team) said that captains should be allowed to wear whatever armband they want.sensationalism
- the media reported on team and fan reactions, and may have contributed along the line, but certainly didn't start it. But since you've not tried to reinsert your opinion that the whole thing shouldn't have happened (nor unrelated source), you can keep your misguided views and get on with not touching the topic. Kingsif (talk) 08:26, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- More no. Let's see...

Asking for assistance with a GA review
Hello! Sorry for bothering you... Since I've just started my first GA review by taking over this article, I wanted to ask you for a double-check on my decisions, so far, please.
I read the guidelines carefully last week, and I chose (at least I think) a fairly simple article to begin, but I still want to make sure I don't make mistakes or misjudgements through the process.
On a side note, if the nominator requests it, am I allowed to put the review on hold immediately?
Anyway, I'd really appreciate your help!
Oltrepier (talk) 17:39, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Oltrepier: Hi, thanks for asking. Looking at your review, I think it would be useful to highlight some of the things that show how the article currently meets criteria. Then, with your suggestions, some more context might be useful - the nominator should be familiar with the article, of course, but, for example, one of your comments is just a quote. Speaking of, quite a few of your comments are suggestions either to add, remove, or rephrase, without giving a kind of reason for how this would improve the article and/or achieve GA standard. And especially when it comes to rephrasing, I personally feel that reviewers shouldn't try to dictate what the new wording should be, at least if it's quite long. These are general comments on your review, if you want me to look over the article to see if you missed anything glaring, I can't right now, but would be happy to do so. As for putting it on hold, that is pretty much the first stage unless the article is a quick fail or so good it needs no work (even then, if you have comments, always nice to let the nom respond) - perhaps unusual it has been requested, but putting a review on hold straight away is normal. Kingsif (talk) 23:34, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- Right, thank you very much: I'll try to improve on those fronts as I go.
- I'll keep you updated on the state of my review, as well! Oltrepier (talk) 13:30, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, I think most of the issues I noticed have been solved now (with a little bit of boldness, too), but if possible, I'd be more comfortable in asking your second opinion on the article, please, just to make sure everything is alright.
- I'm absolutely not in a hurry, so no worries. Oltrepier (talk) 14:18, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- The article is looking good. For a youth footballer that only debuted in the last 2 years, there's obviously not a mass on content. I corrected a spelling. There's maybe some phrasing that I would personally change, but I see nothing concerning to prevent promotion. Happy to help, and, again, thanks for asking.

Just a friendly reminder that when edits are challenged, the next stop should normally be the article talk page to seek consensus per WP:BRD. It looks like you are close to edit warring to protect your recent changes to the article. Thank you for your extensive contributions to the project. Best regards... -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:21, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
- Those edits were not challenged, and were removed while discussion I had started was already ongoing - hence reinstating them until any challenge or resolution. Thank you for the message, though. Kingsif (talk) 02:44, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reverting a recent edit is ipso facto a challenge. The existence of a discussion is a good thing but does not negate BRD. The onus for consensus is on the challenged edits. Please do not edit war. Also, I have been asked to look at a discussion on Talk:Shakira where your response to opposition is getting a little heavy handed. I am guessing it's not intentional, but this looks like borderline WP:BLUDGEONING. Remember that we don't win a debate by the number of posts or words. Be concise, make your point, cite policy and guidelines where appropriate, and move on. Thank you. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:14, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
- May I ask who is asking you to look at my edits? I'm not impressed with that, tell them to stop stalking me. As I have said at that talk discussion, I trust that any user experienced enough to be looking over it will recognise that I am trying to fulfill the discussion-opener duty to encourage !votes to be policy-based... just unfortunately facing users with a mix of poor English, poor policy knowledge, and poor attitudes to discussing (where every discussion is an argument in their eyes). There's no good way around it, I don't want to add words nobody is really going to bother to read, but where do you draw the line of futility in trying to get !votes to have good reasoning? Not even a rhetorical question. Kingsif (talk) 15:30, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
- I have already advised them to be careful about stalking. But the concerns raised IMO are legitimate and you are either missing or ignoring my point. I've looked at the discussion and I'm not seeing a serious deficiency in English. Nor am I seeing a ton of comments that are ignoring P&G. Remember that discussions and consensus are not determined by a !vote count. If your argument is the more substantive, then your position will prevail. FWIW, and conceding the odd exception, I have long observed a personal rule that I do not post more than three comments in a discussion. If I have not been able to adequately articulate my position in three comments, there is a good possibility that I am wrong. A wall of text that some may regard as TLDR, does not strengthen my position but rather is more likely to show a lack of confidence to the extent I have to persuade (or arm twist) others into changing their position. In the end, I also have to periodically remind myself that we are not trying to end world hunger or debating the terms of a nuclear arms treaty. It's just an online encyclopedia. IMHO you've made your position clear. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:46, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
- I took on board your point, just, well, talked around it instead of saying that. Also thank you again for leaving a message instead of slapping my talkpage with a take a wikibreak template or something, I did mean it. Getting into train of thought from what you say here, as regards adding excessive comments (and of course I know it's excessive), there are times when I have helped users !voting against me to express their views as policy rather than opinion - if it is now coming across as trying to make users change their stance, I shall have to find another way, maybe less "no that's opinion" and more "can you support that with an RS" even though it comes off sarcastic. Of course, just maybe less in general. To go off on a further tangent here (feel free to ignore if you're not up for a chat BTW) - yeah, as much as sometimes you want to say screw it, it's just Wikipedia... I have sometimes instead convinced myself the other way by accident, noticing the imposing presence Wikipedia has in the background of most peoples' lives, and knowing that I can
wastespend my lunch break either playing on apps or trying to improve the biggest repository of knowledge, maybe a small improvement but a small enough effort usually. Or whatever. Kingsif (talk) 16:09, 25 January 2023 (UTC)- Ok, I think we are more or less on the same page here. No problem with discussion. But keep it pithy and don't feel the need to repeat the same points ad nauseum or respond to everyone who posts a differing view. Knowing when you've said what needed to be said and it's time to move on is just as important as starting a discussion. And now I am going to take my own advice... and move on. Happy editing. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:23, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

As I have said at that talk discussion, I trust that any user experienced enough to be looking over it will recognise that I am trying to fulfill the discussion-opener duty to encourage !votes to be policy-based... just unfortunately facing users with a mix of poor English, poor policy knowledge, and poor attitudes to discussing (where every discussion is an argument in their eyes). There's no good way around it, I don't want to add words nobody is really going to bother to read, but where do you draw the line of futility in trying to get !votes to have good reasoning? Not even a rhetorical question. Kingsif (talk) 15:30, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reverting a recent edit is ipso facto a challenge. The existence of a discussion is a good thing but does not negate BRD. The onus for consensus is on the challenged edits. Please do not edit war. Also, I have been asked to look at a discussion on Talk:Shakira where your response to opposition is getting a little heavy handed. I am guessing it's not intentional, but this looks like borderline WP:BLUDGEONING. Remember that we don't win a debate by the number of posts or words. Be concise, make your point, cite policy and guidelines where appropriate, and move on. Thank you. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:14, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023
Hello Kingsif/Archives,
- Backlog
The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
- 2022 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.
- Reminders
- Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.

Article rider BMX Álvaro Esquivel
I am afraid to tell you that the article Álvaro Esquivel does not come from any language.--GeogieTax (talk) 02:44, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- "Rough translation" is what the template produces; if you read it or the policy links in it, you'll have noticed that it also covers cases when it is simply clear that the article has primarily been written by editors who cannot write English. Sometimes even when the quality of English is poor, but it might be a native speaker with writing difficulty - but in your case it's clear that you're at least mentally translating (or, attempting to) if not running what you want to say in Spanish through something that produces worse results than Google translate. And, in any case, please don't remove such tags in future until the article has been improved. Kingsif (talk) 02:49, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
Álvaro Esquivel no translate is original Wikipedia im English
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116214283 Wiidata --GeogieTax (talk) 02:54, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- I know. I have told you that is not what the template is for, three times. You are a walking WP:CIR issue if you don't get it. Kingsif (talk) 03:00, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
Álvaro Esquivel no translate is original Wikipedia in enlish from Wikidata
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116214283 --GeogieTax (talk) 03:01, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
Kingsif Let's see from what language I translated this article if you are seeing from Wikidata that it comes only from the English language and where is the editing conflict.--GeogieTax (talk) 03:11, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- SIX times I have told you that the template does NOT refer to a translation from another Wikipedia. You are unfit to edit Wikipedia, in any capacity, if you cannot even understand that. Kingsif (talk) 03:13, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- I am not targeting you or your article; I saw it at NPR without even knowing who created it. I don't do much tagging there, lots of other editors have it covered, but the potential COI not having been tagged already really stuck out. And if you think you can get your way by trying to get under my skin, you are begging for a permablock. Kingsif (talk) 03:25, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- Kingsif porque dices que el artículo es una traducción en que te basas, tu eres latinoamericano. Explícame. --GeogieTax (talk) 03:47, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- Kingsif Al menos sabes quien es Álvaro Esquivel porque dices que esta en otro idioma si Wikipedia en Inglés es la única que permite que los deportistas de BMX tengan una página de Wikipedia. --GeogieTax (talk) 03:49, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- No te dije que el artículo es una traducción; el aviso lo explica que el artículo tiene una nivel de inglés demasiado peor para la Wikipedia en inglés. El aviso está vinculado con la página WP:NOTENGLISH. Esto es lo que te explico - esto y que hay un otro aviso para indicar que el artículo existe en otra Wikipedia. Por favor, usa inglés aquí. Kingsif (talk) 03:57, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
Kingsif entonces esa plantilla que añadiste va a borrar el artículo o no. --GeogieTax (talk) 03:57, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
but if you believe the article of
Elena Huelva . --GeogieTax (talk) 04:00, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- Are you saying you think that was proposed deletion because it was a poor translation? The proposed deletion there was about notability, like someone did not think she was famous enough, and did not touch on language. Kingsif (talk) 04:03, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
Could you write it up Álvaro Esquivel it better for Wikipedia in English, please I don't know much English. GeogieTax (talk) 04:09, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- I might do that article, but there is a serious issue when you struggle to communicate simple things in English. It's not appropriate for you to either make poor edits and rely on others to clean them up, or to constantly have people helping you navigate. You've also got to at least try and communicate rather than just change things to how you think they should be and act indignant when met with opposition, another pressing issue with your editing. Kingsif (talk) 04:14, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- And excuse my attitude. I thought that you were going to delete the article that I had made with a lot of effort. I even contacted the Costa Rican athlete to ask him about his age if Kevin Peraza can have an article because the Costa Rican can't.
- @GeogieTax: It's okay, I've given you a lot of warnings, I can take a bit of attitude and still try to communicate positively back. (Try, I say). Of course, those warnings are warranted: before even working on improving your English, you need to work on how you interact with other editors and how you respond to your edits being reverted. You are also going to get ignored a lot if you can't communicate in English, with other editors thinking it a waste of time to try to talk to you. I suggest taking a little break, if you want to edit here and not just at the Spanish Wikipedia, to read up a bit on policy and consider what you want to contribute here. Kingsif (talk) 04:25, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
Kingsif thanks for the advice, certainly not many here have treated me well. Recently I had a dispute in the Bizarrap and Shakira article over a plagiarism issue surrounding the song. I will take note and be more prudent tomorrow, excuse my lousy English. GeogieTax (talk) 04:31, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- Honestly, this comment is probably the best I've seen your English. Kingsif (talk) 04:58, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
Could you remove all those warning notices that you left me on my talk page? and about the following template it seems to me that the article has already achieved notoriety. GeogieTax (talk) 08:48, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

DYK for Death of Marc Bennett
On 5 January 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Death of Marc Bennett, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after leaving his job promoting Qatar ahead of the 2022 World Cup, Marc Bennett alleged he was tortured before being found hanged in his hotel room? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Death of Marc Bennett. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Death of Marc Bennett), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Alexia Putellas
Hello. I hope all goes well.
Please search for number 18 in the article: https://www.fifa.com/the-best-fifa-football-awards/news/alexia-putellas-finalist-in-focus
Regards, Kioumarsi (talk) 11:13, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
@Kioumarsi: I did, both for goals and year. And I also read the whole thing. You want to cite [Alexia Putellas] ended the [2018-19] season as Barcelona's top scorer in the league with 16 goals and overall with 18 goals.
to an article that doesn't mention that season at all. It mentions she got 18 goals in the league in the 2020-21 season. Since it's the wrong season, it also doesn't mention 16 league goals or being top scorer. Please read more than just a single number in sources before inserting them. Searching a number in a source and not checking the context is a big no. Kingsif (talk) 11:22, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
About my latest GA review
Hello! It's been a while since my last message, so much that it probably got lost in your own archives... : D
Anyway, I've finally found time to conduct a new GA review: this time, I went for this article. To be honest, I didn't have to write much in my comment, since that page looks excellent, but I still wanted to ask you to rate my job, please.
I hope I didn't miss anything, by the way!
Oltrepier (talk) 14:49, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi again! What I notice is that you have said in your review that you think the article is focused, while I think it gets far too broad and detailed. Just at a glance, the road to the final sections are very long. The match summary might also be too detailed/long, but for a match that went to penalties, perhaps not. When reading these sections to see if they really are too much, well, the road to the final ones start by detailing the creation of the teams and their CL histories: as I see it, that's not relevant to the season, let alone the playoffs, let alone the final match – the first two paragraphs of both could easily just be cut. If there is relevant background of these two teams and the MLS Cup, and maybe of their preparation, based on similar articles, a background section would be appropriate instead. I also note the summary table that I know these articles are moving away from using, though I think it's still discretion. You don't have to agree with this, remember! If you still think the article is focused (and meets illustration crit), that's fine. Otherwise, while your review may be short, you have touched on pretty much everything and why you're satisfied, so it's looking good. Kingsif (talk) 22:02, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Kingsif Thank you for the feedback!
- To be honest, you're right that the starting sections might need to get trimmed a bit, but the paragraphs about the clubs' respective histories are not too long, and they're likely useful to get a sense of the level of success they had achieved until that final. Still, it's true that those parts could rather constitute a new section on their own.
- I think the summary table is useful, too; plus, there was indeed a lot to unpack about that final (a 3-3 draw in the last minute of extra time; a goalkeeper that got injured and sent-off at the same time; the substitute keeper who had played just once during the season and went on to save two penalties), so that's fine for me.
- I think I'll just put a second-opinion stamp on this review, as well, so you can get proper credit for your input. : ) Oltrepier (talk) 09:45, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, I asked for the second opinion without telling you about it, haha... Oltrepier (talk) 15:09, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Asking for advice about a draft article
Hello! Hope you're doing well.
This time, I wanted to ask you for help with a different subject, having noticed that you frequently cover Latin America-related articles.
Roughly a month ago, I wrote this draft about the assassination of an Ecuadorian politician and his (uncanny) posthumous election as mayor, since I saw that it had been covered by several national and international sources. Not gonna lie, I had to do a lot of work to search for reliable information and create that page!
What do you think about it? Is there any other project/user I should ask for a review?
On a side note, the pattern of violence during those elections looked very worrying to me...
Oltrepier (talk) 16:32, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- Without knowing much about the case, the draft looks good from a referencing and formatting POV. Violence and Latin American politics are rarely far removed, I could comment from that perspective. Perhaps the Ecuador WikiProject would be interested? Kingsif (talk) 22:47, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- I thought about the Ecuador project, too, but it looks like it's been inactive for a while...
- Maybe I should try with the Politics project. Oltrepier (talk) 14:45, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Right, I've just opened a discussion on the draft's talk page, and left a request at the Politics WikiProject. Thank you for your advice, once again! Oltrepier (talk) 16:43, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
Kingsif, it's been almost a month since you said you'd be back to your nomination, and you haven't yet returned. Are you still interested in pursuing it? If not, let me know, and I'll arrange to have it closed. Otherwise, please post there as soon as you return, and give priority to addressing the issues. Thank you very much.

Venezuelan sources
Hi! How's it going?
I wanted to let you know that I'm planning to do some maitenance regarding Venezuelan sources that lack either independence or reliability; some of which have been discussed in the main sources noticeboard, while others are currently listed in WP:VENRS.
Since you have voiced concern regarding the removal of some of the references, I wanted to let you know before proceeding. One of the purposes would be to improve articles with BLP issues, and I would try to replace the sources when possible. Most of these have the suffix "http", meaning that they are dated in the early 2010s or before that, meaning that they include old topics and dead links.
Please let me know about your thoughts and suggestions. Best regards! NoonIcarus (talk) 22:44, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hi! I think you've made some great contributions to the project guidelines, so I suggest taking any changes or new additions to VENRS to discussion first (though I'd probably move VoA to "additional considerations" and don't think that's controversial), but otherwise just improving BLPs should be fine. Thanks for keeping up on this. Kingsif (talk) 22:51, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 May newsletter
The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:
- Iazyges (1040) with three FAs on Byzantine emperors, and lots of bonus points.
- Unlimitedlead (847), with three FAs on ancient history, one GA and nine reviews.
- Epicgenius (636), a WikiCup veteran, with one FA on the New Amsterdam Theatre, four GAs and eleven DYKs
BennyOnTheLoose (553), a seasoned competitor, with one FA on snooker, six GAs and seven reviews.- FrB.TG (525), with one FA, a Lady Gaga song and a mass of bonus points.
Other notable performances were put in by Sammi Brie, Thebiguglyalien, 
MyCatIsAChonk, PCN02WPS, and 
AirshipJungleman29.
So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Question from Ngawang0104 on Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje (16:12, 2 May 2023)
Page title: Other Dudjom Yangsi
Tenzin Yeshe Dorje was recognised by Dudjom Rinpoche the second's Consort, who is revered and believe to be the same as Dudjom Rinpoche. Dudjom Rinpoche himself always asked for Advice from His Consort, so how can you not put "Dudjom Tenzing Yeshe Dorje in the page title: Dudjom the Third." Please correct this immediately for the sake of all sentient beings. --Ngawang0104 (talk) 16:12, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
Question from Ngawang0104 on Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje (16:32, 2 May 2023)
Hi,
Page Title: Dudjom the Third (requires addtional information)
You did not include Dudjom Tenzin Yeshe Dorje in the Page Title: Dudjom The Third. Dudjom Tenzin Yeshe Dorje was recognised by Dudjom Sangyum Rigdzin Wangmo, the wife of Dudjom Rinpoche, who was highly revered by Dudjom Rinpoche the second himself and including the whole of the Tibetan School of Buddhism!
Please put Dudjom Tenzin Yeshe Dorje's biography to the page title Dudjom The Third! He is Guru Rinpoche in the flesh. He is Dudjom The Third, who Dudjom Rinpoches Wife herself recognised. For the sake of all sentient beings please do what is right! --Ngawang0104 (talk) 16:32, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Ngawang0104:, I'm here to help if you have any questions about editing, not with adding information to articles for you. Have you looked through the WP:5 Pillars and WP:FIRST guides on how to edit? The article you link is a very big, very messy, one, so I wouldn't recommend starting there as a new user! If you have any specific questions, please get back in touch. (Though I also recommend not using hyperbole like
for the sake of all sentient beings
when asking). Kingsif (talk) 21:07, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
Question from Ngawang0104 on Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje (06:34, 3 May 2023)
Hi, thank you for your advise but being a Buddhist I feel it is important to clarify some stuff. The two most well known Dudjom Yangsi are from Tibet and Bhutan. When the title of the page says Dudjom the Third and mentions only the Tibet Dudjom. Are you not taking away the importance of the Dudjom who was born in Bhutan? Both are equally as important, so I request if you would delete the page title Dudjom the Third. It infact, creates more confusion stating that the Tibet Dudjom is the authentic third Dudjom, whereas the Dudjom born in Bhutan is not.
Thank You --Ngawang0104 (talk) 06:34, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- I am not a subject matter expert on this, I'm here for questions on editing, not on content. I can say that you will need sources, even though the article is severely lacking on that front. As you can see, the article already has a warning tag about this stuff, so you could well be correct, but will need sources to verify what you're adding. If you want to edit this article and discuss its content, I am not the person to approach: I recommend trying the WT:WikiProject Buddhism, where editors more familiar with Dudjom will likely be happy to help :) Kingsif (talk) 20:31, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Josiane Lima
The article Josiane Lima you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Josiane Lima for comments about the article, and Talk:Josiane Lima/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.

Request for reassessment of a film article
Nice to meet you. I'm Murasakihitsuji. I created the film article Pure Japanese on November 16, 2022. This article was judged as C-class, but since then I have been improving it to make it better. So, I have a favor to ask you. Could you please judge this article? Because when I asked the person who judged it as C-class, he said he didn't have time. You may be busy, but I need your help. Please give me your best regards. Murasakihitsuji (talk) 09:46, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, and thanks for asking. I've added a B-class assessment to the talk page banner. I believe it does not meet comprehensive sourcing and good style requirements: the cast list is too detailed to not require a reference for each character description, and the various sections have a lot of information that is delivered in short sentences that generally begin "He did", "It was", which makes for poor reading - as well as containing phrasings that sound unnatural in English. Hope this helps, and thanks for improving it! Kingsif (talk) 11:54, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for helping me. I will get help from someone I know who is fluent in English to improve the poor English writing in each section. By the way, I have a question about the cast list. Does that mean that I should add a comprehensive reference for each character's description? Murasakihitsuji (talk) 15:58, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- Most cast lists don't go into that much detail, so you could just reduce the level of detail. Otherwise, yes. Kingsif (talk) 16:51, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- I understood. I will try it. So, should I also reduce the number of "Starring" in the infobox? Murasakihitsuji (talk) 07:43, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- The cast list in the infobox should reflect what is in a film poster credit block. If there is no credit block on the poster, the actors' names shown before the main credits are usually included. Kingsif (talk) 10:35, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- In this case, the poster in the infobox does show a credit block - all the white text in the bottom-right - so these are the names that should be listed in the infobox. Kingsif (talk) 10:36, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- I understood. I will improve the article based on your advice. Thank you very much for answering my many questions. Murasakihitsuji (talk) 15:26, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

removal of old item (3 years) for personal reasons or possible vandalism
Regards, Kingsif. I saw that years ago you collaborated in the article Leycang El Grandioso It is currently more than 3 years old where several editors have contributed and the editor Bedivere has put a deletion request for having problems with its creator ChuchoVzjMusik, I see that its Problems have led her to want to affect the article and if it is not accepted they should send it to a workshop to continue working on it. I hope your help because this article belongs to the Wikiproject/Venezuela. Elviarosa026914 (talk) 18:53, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, the AfD opener does seem to be primarily concerned with notability, which is a fine reason to open an AfD. While the discussion and the draftifying has been a little unusual, I don't see any targeting of editors - have there been others conflicts? Kingsif (talk) 21:18, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- Hi there Kingsif. Please note that this is a sockpuppet account of user ChuchoVCJMuzik, who has been yesterday indefinitely blocked at the Spanish Wikipedia for use of sockpuppets, undeclared conflicts of interest, paid editing and other things. This is a confirmed sockpuppet account at simple Wiki. I have reported the account for blocking here too, as it is obvious they're only here to make personal attacks. They've written on my talk page I'm a xenophobe and the like. It is simply unacceptable. Bedivere (talk) 21:56, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023
Hello Kingsif/Archives,
Backlog
Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.
Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.
Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.
You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.
Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

Hi,
With regard to Banda, what are your thoughts on this -- particularly the last sentence? Do you have a better citation you can swap? Hmlarson (talk) 18:58, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm gonna summarise: so your link is a definition page from the website of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center, and the sentence you refer to is
Not all intersex folks identify as being part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
- You've asked my thoughts so let me say: I completely agree. However, you removed Banda as an entry on the List of intersex Olympians, which itself makes no claims about the athletes identifying as LGBTQ+. It's an unsentimental list of people with DSDs that have affected their sporting participation where this is well-known.
- Of course, you also removed the entry on the List of LGBT Olympians and Paralympians#Intersex athletes - it could be debated whether having the sub-section is appropriate. The lede sets out the current criteria for inclusion quite clearly, I think:
identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, pansexual, non-binary, queer, and/or having an intersex condition, or who have openly been in a same-sex relationship.
That is, it says LGBTQ+ and/or intersex - it already doesn't put them in the same basket for this reason. If you want to have a wider discussion, I would be happy to facilitate that as I edit a lot in related spheres; it may also be that the List of LGBT Olympians and Paralympians article should be renamed (just having "LGBT" in the title is due to consistency with this naming crit across Wikipedia, something about Wikipedia is international and not everywhere in the world accepts/understands a longer acronym; I don't think adding "and intersex" after it goes against that). Kingsif (talk) 22:46, 10 July 2023 (UTC) - Oh, and what citation are you referring to with the swap? In the lists? Kingsif (talk) 23:11, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for sharing your input. I think what is potentially harmful is labelling people when they have not clearly self-identified as such (unless there is a better source noting that she has). In this case, one sports association claimed she failed a gender eligibility test due to elevated testosterone levels according to their standard (not sure what that standard was) and she was banned from a competition. Other sports associations "clear her to play" - no mention of elevated testosterone levels or "standards". I've not seen any article where she self-identifies as Intersex or LGBT - so it seemed a bit inappropriate for her to be listed on these -- particularly on an article entitled List of LGBT Olympians and Paralympians. I also feel the Inside the Games citation could be better. She's had coverage in numerous major international papers - this seems weak IMO for support on both articles. Open to contributing to a larger discussion if you think it would be productive. Hmlarson (talk) 23:14, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- I know what you mean about self-identification, it's another things that's distinct between LGBQ+ individuals and intersex individuals - for the latter, it often impedes sporting participation and becomes public knowledge. While transitioning can also have the same effect, transgender individuals could choose not to, and thus not reveal their identity. A lot of choice and privacy, I suppose, is taken away from intersex athletes. A sentimental view would be that Wikipedia should not continue with that, but Wikipedia is neither WP:CENSORED or for WP:Righting great wrongs... The incident has appeared in media again recently due to the 2023 Women's World Cup (in which Banda is playing) and Zambia beating heayweights Germany, so it is unfortunate that this is when the entry was added and I appreciate that.
- I don't see an issue with the Inside the Games source, it may have a colourful website but as a sports outlet it is award-winning and has exclusive coverage for some events; I think I chose it due to containing all the context for the note in one source, but I suppose the BBC has context, too (and mentions criticism that FIFA uses different eligibility rules for different tournaments, something that could definitely be added). Kingsif (talk) 00:44, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- “Sentimental” is an interesting word choice. I prefer fair and accurate. Hmlarson (talk) 02:17, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- I will assume that your sharp response is merely due to the late hour, because I'm sure you know that including sourced information is fair and accurate. I also don't see anything unfair or inaccurate in saying

- it is purely sentimental to think that Wikipedia should not include appropriate information as a 'correction' of other organisations (IOC, FIFA, FAZ) deciding the information should be public. If news media thought it was inappropriate, it wouldn't have made it into RS, but it has so here we are. Kingsif (talk) 02:35, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

@Hmlarson: Do you have a reference for the quote you added here? Kingsif (talk) 02:57, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- It's from the lead of Intersex and LGBT. Feel free to modify/add ref. Hmlarson (talk) 03:02, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. I think it is useful context, and didn't want to interfere if you were still editing. I am thinking of, as suggested, moving the article so the title mentions intersex separately and specifically - thoughts? Kingsif (talk) 03:06, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- I still have issues with self-id. Does the Disorders of sex development article state somewhere that elevated testosterone levels are considered DSD? Hmlarson (talk) 23:15, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- That may be where the wider discussion is needed - I find it clear that (perhaps unfortunately) being intersex isn't something possible to identify as (though one can obviously identify, or not, with the social aspect), and if it's caused a sporting scandal that RS have picked up on (and sometimes they haven't, or the list would be longer) then we (Wikipedia) aren't here to pass judgment on whether it should be a scandal/RS should have written about it or not. If you're referring to this edit specifically, my concern was that readers who aren't so familiar with the topic may assume that people can choose not to identify as (which they may interpret as "be") intersex and not face sporting scrutiny by doing so. Or (less likely) that someone with no DSD could decide to identify as intersex.
- As for the DSD article, elevated testosterone levels in genetic females is only caused by a DSD or hyperandrogenism (which is, in sports, has been treated the same as DSD, as in the cases of Caster Semenya and Dutee Chand) - Society for Endocrinology [20], Endocrine Connections [21] - or adrenal or ovarian tumours. I was surprised that neither hyperandrogenism or testosterone in females in general are mentioned at the DSD article, which seems to focus on lack of testosterone synthesis in males and lack of oestrogen synthesis in females; I don't know what parameters the DSD article has, and think asking someone like @Vaticidalprophet: about the content is best if we want answers on that. But as any quick search on DSD, testosterone and sports can tell you, like this research in the Journal of Clinical Investigation,
testosterone levels have been used as a determinant of ineligibility for certain competitions and implemented as a metric to disqualify female athletes in women’s sports.
I honestly hope that clinicians don't draw a line in women's testosterone levels and call one side abnormal, but the IOC and other sporting bodies have and that's the relevant context. Kingsif (talk) 03:38, 12 July 2023 (UTC)- I can certainly rant about our intersex/DSD articles, which tend towards incredibly expansive advocacy definitions (I note Intersex still lists the sex chromosome disorders like trisomy X and XYY syndrome that are, by any sense, rather the opposite, and I suspect attempting to remove them would result in the same headaches it has every other time people have tried). This is one reason I'm not enthused about saying with little more context that someone is 'intersex' in their article, because this refers to an incredible diversity of phenomena even before you bring in advocacy definitions. The sort of thing I was thinking about on the Semenya talk looks a little like this:
- Consider a young woman who's recently been diagnosed with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (which is quite often diagnosed in late adolescence due to amenorrhea). She's just found out, after spending her whole life as a gender-conforming girl with no reason to doubt it, that she has an XY karyotype and internal testes. This has massive implications for her self-image, future, and entire life, and it's shattering her. She learns that Caster Semenya is also "an XY woman with testes", with no other context to explain the differences between these situations.
- Well, maybe the article can say 'hyperandrogenism' instead. So: consider a young woman diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome, which is massively common, diagnosed in many young women, and also frequently causes hyperandrogenism. This can also be a cause for major self-image crises (about weight, body hair, facial hair, fertility, etc). She learns Caster Semenya is also "a woman with hyperandrogenism".
- So, let's just be careful and say 'intersex'. Now we have a young woman recently diagnosed with trisomy X, in a pretty similar situation to the CAIS girl (virtually always having had no reason to consider she might be anything but a dyadic 46,XX woman before), and again facing all kinds of scary implications. She's learned from our article intersex that what she has is considered an intersex condition, and is now worried that she isn't 'really' a woman. She finds out Caster Semenya is also "an intersex woman".
- In all three cases, you can tell these women are done a profound disservice by those ways of presenting information. Their situations have absolutely nothing in common with Semenya's; the comparison is misleading and causes unnecessary strife (e.g. the perception they'll face problems in sports, or will unexpectedly physically masculinize). This affects more than just people with these conditions themselves, but also their family and friends, trying to draw comparisons between an unfamiliar recent diagnosis and "I think that sportswoman had that". We have a duty of care to BLP subjects, but we also have one to readers. Vaticidalprophet 03:51, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- I'm looking after being pinged at the actual List of intersex Olympians now, and there is...definitely eyebrow-raising stuff here, though it's hard to figure out what else to do (because here the problem of "lumping together a ton of extremely different things" is the IOC's fault, not ours). I'm very concerned at how we're talking about Ewa Kłobukowska, for whom all the information we have is so low-quality that saying much about it is impossible, and the telephone-game non-technical expressions of the situation are poor ("intersex Barr body-positive" is not a series of words that make sense in that order). I've just removed some speculation about what her karyotype actually was from her article, and I have the strong (OR, with no knowledge of this situation except what we say, so don't take anything from it) impression that she probably wasn't intersex at all, in any sense people would intuitively use.
- This does highlight the "is hyperandrogenism intersex" concern, because yeah, a lot of ways to be hyperandrogenic aren't intersex (some advocacy definitions include PCOS, but no real definitions do), but some are, and the list gives exactly no context about anything. Some of the articles give more context, but still in ways that require really piecing together tiny pieces of information to get any idea of what might be the actual medical situation here, that will be totally opaque to most readers and lead to bad conclusions. Vaticidalprophet 04:20, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- See my comment below (slight edit conflict); while I agree that your comments have made me think this needs a finer touch, I don't think it needs to establish
what might be the actual medical situation
- the sporting context is the relevance for the list. I also OR agree with you about Kłobukowska, who probably got entirely mistreated, but the discrimination in sports was there. Perhaps changing the title from "intersex" to (DSD? open to suggestions) and expanding the lead in terms of definitions (not just Olympic history) and the notes in terms of accuracy? Kingsif (talk) 04:26, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- See my comment below (slight edit conflict); while I agree that your comments have made me think this needs a finer touch, I don't think it needs to establish
- Huh, I can honestly say that I thought your conclusion was going to go the other way, that the hypothetical (but almost certainly real) young women would be comforted by finding out that they are not alone and that when faced with/scared of those future implications, it would be a boon to know there is someone like them who is very successful anyway. Anyway, I thank you incredibly for the long thoughts and the detail. I think it is safe to say that this discussion has grown and the way the List of intersex Olympians is presented probably needs more discussion itself - and I see you have replied with a similar thought. Kingsif (talk) 04:21, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- The tricky thing is the diversity. It's good for people to know they're not alone -- but none of those three conditions are anything like Semenya's condition (which is very masculinizing from early life, and in somewhere between a plurality and majority of cases comes with a male gender identity). CAIS is traditionally understood as hyperfeminizing -- CAIS women can't process any testosterone at all, not even as much as XX cis women. But it's also the single most common cause of "XY cis woman with testes", and it's vitally important accordingly to note that the situation of CAIS women and people with 5α-Reductase 2 deficiency have very little in common, which is not going to be gathered if we just say "XY women with testes". Trisomy X is even less like anything coherently known as intersex, while PCOS is hyperandrogenic but still really not comparable to things as extremely so as 5α-Reductase 2 deficiency.
- The notes in the intersex Olympians article need looking over for sure. I'm not sure yet about the title -- intersex vs DSD is a Big Dispute in terms of optimal name, and some people on the list might not be either. I have the vague impression that the IOC uses 'hyperandrogenism' as an euphemism for 'XY karyotype', but when they just say 'hyperandrogenism' by itself, that doesn't get you anywhere. If we've got a list that on further investigation turns out to be a mix of women with "an extremely common hormonal imbalance" and women with "an extremely rare intersex condition that's about as masculinizing as it's possible for something with a female phenotype at birth to be", that...will need work. Vaticidalprophet 04:34, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- If you want to get further involved, please do. Yes, from what I do know of CAIS and PCOS (I can't say I know anything of Trisomy X that isn't at the DSD/intersex articles), I know they all lead to different situations. I also consider the peers of those hypothetical young women who may tease them about "growing up to look like a man", yeah, I don't like that. I'm going to look into where to move this discussion topic and how to present it (probably "let's work on this list" to generate maximum input). Kingsif (talk) 04:47, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- Absolutely ping me when you find a place, I'm starting to have a lot of thoughts here :) I'm looking through our articles linked from that one (the bios and Testosterone regulations in women's athletics), and some of the sources. It definitely looks to me that we're describing a fairly diverse group of people here, and that we should be distinguishing more precisely by e.g. exactly what regulations were in force when someone was labelled 'intersex' under them -- some people seem to have been 'prosecuted' under far more expansive rules than others. I have a not-super-high opinion of a lot of the onwiki fora around intersex-and-adjacent subjects for working through subjects that depend more on the medical definitions than the social ones, but WT:MED may be a reasonable place to start given that's the focus, and the talk page of the list is also a good one given its direct relevance to the content, with instead giving notifications to relevant wikiprojects (MED again...frankly maybe BLPN). Vaticidalprophet 05:12, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- Oh and the IOC (and CAS) seem absolutely useless when it comes to doing this whole thing properly. Which is half (most of) the issue. Kingsif (talk) 04:49, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- If you want to get further involved, please do.

Need editing help
Hello, just a ask, can you help me to put the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup broadcasting list back in the consensus we both had got into before? with the all the sources and *s on the FIFA+ countries based on the various FIFA posts and lists?
I was waiting for someone else to come fix back to consensus, but so far nobody else had showed up to update the list, execpt by someone from Blangadesh trying to update the list with his local broadcast sources, I wanted fix that first before look if the info this new editor had posted has english sources, but myself alone cant fix that quickly. at least not right now (beacuse it looks i had unintentionally reached a 24hrs deep edit limit trying to stop vandalism/edit war, WP:3RR.) , and i was wondering if you could help me with it?
Thanks for help and be free to ask me anything if you have doubts Meganinja202 (talk) 22:11, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Look, the way you've asked this, it feels like you want me to make edits on your behalf that will contribute to an edit war. I'm not going to do that. I'm going to reset the article to a stable version, ask for it to be locked, and then you can ping everyone making edits at the talk page to work it out. I could facilitate discussion again, but it's not going to be all on me. Kingsif (talk) 22:37, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- That is fine for me, the last thing i want is a edit war, i just want fix all that mess and avoid to do the same work a third time. Meganinja202 (talk) 22:46, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

...for Keira Walsh. Who knows what exactly her diagnosis is, but I had been thinking of creating a category for "Women footballers with ACL injuries". Once I learn how to create a category, that is. Cielquiparle (talk) 20:20, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- I feel you. (As for the category, temporary injuries – even if long-term or career-defining – aren't a defining category so I don't think it'd be a good idea.) Kingsif (talk) 20:25, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

England women's
On your recent revert for England women's national football team, I just thought it seemed like a poor addition, as it seemed like a subjective description from a former teammate that's all. There's no need to be so defensive/rude in your edit summary over something so insignificant. All the best Michaeldble (talk) 09:37, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- It's a bad habit to get into, removing things without a reason and trying to apply vague allusions to policy that you can't explain. The more users get into doing that, the more likely they are to remove content they personally don't like in the future... All the best Kingsif (talk) 21:17, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 September newsletter
The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
- Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
- Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
- Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.
Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)

Speedy deletion nomination of Nike Phantom Luna
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 Nike Phantom Luna, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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 "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 deleted 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, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Nomination of Nike Phantom Luna for deletion
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nike Phantom Luna until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Women in Green GA Editathon October 2023 - Around the World in 31 Days
Hello Kingsif/Archives:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

New pages patrol newsletter
Hello Kingsif/Archives,
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.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

- Oh I absolutely would – I've also thought about converting Barçagate into a List of scandals involving FC Barcelona given that article's lack of focus already – but I don't want to be editing the Negreira case article at the moment for the same reason I've held off on updating the Rubiales affair (another 'case' haha), it's a current legal case and a lot of the reports may be (I say on instinct more than anything) more emotive than we can use as sources.

Hello, I want to add my biography, can you help me? --Dodyar gholamrezaei (talk) 17:10, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Probably not. If you are a non-notable person, a bio of you won't stay on Wikipedia for long, and you shouldn't be editing it, either. Kingsif (talk) 21:34, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Venezuelan films
Best wishes, I hope you're alright. I know you haven't edited recently in the topics, but I only wanted to let you know I have created articles of Venezuelan films released in the last years, including Simón, Me & The Beasts and My Otaku Girlfriend. I thought you would like taking a look at them. As always, stay safe, and happy editing :) NoonIcarus (talk) 10:10, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Question from Aditya Kumar In (11:30, 11 November 2023)
When will I able to write an Article on Wikipedia instead of editing --Aditya Kumar In (talk) 11:30, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- 'Editing' is writing articles. Making smaller edits helps you learn the expectations of Wikipedia before making bigger contributions to articles. Kingsif (talk) 22:10, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:List of footballers who have played in the Kings League and Queens League
Hello, Kingsif. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "List of footballers who have played in the Kings League and Queens League".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:03, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
