Arkansas politician articles

A suggestion- Before creating the article, do a google search for the politician. The website Votesmart will usually have some biographical information(birthdate, place of birth, residence) on the person, or there is always the State House or State Senate page for the politician in question if they are currently in office....William 15:06, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. I just got a quick start on Jonathan Dismang and Jason Rapert, but I will go back to them and find more information. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:11, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Just curious, I noticed the MediaWiki software found your registration date to be null. How'd that happen? — MusikAnimal ^talk 16:32, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Michael Wacha

Muboshgu, I took your suggestion and GA nominated the Wacha article. Thanks for the reworking on the lead – it runs a lot smoother. When I first expanded it I wasn't sure how much would be sufficient; it also did not occur to me right away it should have been a little less choppy. I'm not sure how to credit other contributors for a GAN; if necessary, what would be the procedure? Also, is it helpful to directly request of other editors for their input to get the article reviewed? Thank you and buenos días. Elcid.ruderico (talk) 22:48, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

For FA and FL nominations, you can have co-nominators, but there isn't really a way to co-nominate a GA. That's okay. I'll still help with any comments that are made. Khazar2 picked it up quickly. I nominated some articles last month that are still waiting for review. – Muboshgu (talk) 12:03, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Baltimore mayoral election, 1999

The article Baltimore mayoral election, 1999 you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Baltimore mayoral election, 1999 for things which need to be addressed.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.

IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.

Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.

Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions

We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:

Views/Day

Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.

Quality

Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.

The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

Content

Is more content needed?

Headings

Does this article have an appropriate section structure?

Images

Is the number of illustrative images about right?

Links

Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?

Sources

For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 23:43, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Input on Bill de Blasio

I noticed you've been active on the Bill de Blasio article. Could you give your input on this topic?

Prizes will be handed out in the coming weeks. Please be patient!

Congratulations to everyone who has been successful in this year's WikiCup, whether you made it to the final rounds or not, and a particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup who have achieved this year. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition. While it has been an excellent year, errors have opened up the judges' eyes to the need for a third judge, and it is with pleasure that we announce that experienced WikiCup participant Miyagawa will be acting as a judge from now on. We hope you will all join us in welcoming him to the team.

Next year's competition begins on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; it is open to all Wikipedians, new and old. Brainstorming and discussion remains open for how next year's competition will work, and straw polls will be opened by the judges soon. Those interested in friendly competition may also like to keep an eye on the stub contest, being organised by Casliber. The WikiCup judges will be back in touch over the coming months, and we hope to see you all in the 2014 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Thanks. I've just left a message on the article's talk page explaining to them the issues with the version they are reverting to.

Dwayne Stovall

Why are you trying to delete the Dwayne Stovall page? How is his page any different from the following people with wikipedia pages here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_elections,_2014 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lvyoral (talk • contribs) 02:11, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Because not every political candidate is notable. They have to pass WP:GNG, which Stovall fails. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:32, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

That sounds like your personal position, but have you researched him at all? Are you from Texas? Do you here the news in Texas? Most people would have said the same thing about Ted Cruz in November 2011, now everyone knows who he is. There are other candidates that have wikipedia pages that are no different from Stovall. Either keep Stovall or delete them all. Fair is Fair. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lvyoral (talk • contribs) 15:36, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

I looked into Stovall and found nothing aside from his website, a Ron Paul fansite, and a brief mention of his candidacy in a news source. That does not satisfy GNG. Cruz, on the other hand was a former Solicitor General of Texas in 2011. Big difference. Other candidates who are similarly not notable should be deleted, and I make the effort to screen as many of them as I can. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:41, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Looks like you have a personal agenda to keep out a Republican Candidate. I don't understand the harm in leaving his page - but obviously you do. I'm sorry that I have contributed funds to Wikipedia in the past, I didn't know it was biased media as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lvyoral (talk • contribs) 16:09, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

40-man roster additions

I just wanted to say I really hope you don't do what you did last year and go nuts with the re-directing. Last year there were still guys that didn't have bios like 6 months later and it was a little ridiculous. I suggest you just go one by one since there really should be no rush. If you're worried about red links in templates or whatever, I can tell you don't be because between me and you there won't be any redlinks within a few days (if not by the end of tomorow).--Yankees10 01:05, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Tag-teaming

Hello again. The IP from the Virginia Attorney General election page has filed an incident report on the administrator's noticeboard accusing me of being "disruptive" and "refusing to collaborate" and is now accusing you and I of "tag-teaming". Obviously it's completely ridiculous and without foundation but he'll probably just ignore what I've said so if you could also post something on there it might be helpful. There's quite a bit to wade through but the post where he makes the accusation is the second from the bottom. Thanks very much, Tiller54 (talk) 17:17, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Sure, I'll give it a read. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:01, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Assemblywoman-Elect Maria Rodriguez-Gregg

Hello "Muboshgu",

I work for the Assemblywoman-elect and was fixing some incorrect issues with her profile, such as her degree, her previous and current employment and her idol. The article was incorrect that you sited in the article. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Otherwise, what do we need to do to get the correct information on her Wikipedia page?

Thank you.

Josh Foote

Hi. Thank you for reaching out. The main issue is WP:V, a central Wikipedia policy that says "verifiability, not truth". Everything in an article needs to be verified with a reliable source. I kept in the part about the Civil Air Patrol, since I found that to be verified. Changing dental "hygienist" to "professional" is problematic, since the second term is vague. There were some minor issues with formatting as well. The Eisenhower bit I can acknowledge is not especially important. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:17, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Maria Rodriguez Gregg Wiki Page

Hello,

I'm Maria Rodriguez-Gregg. I recently asked our legislative aide to make some minor edits to this page because some of the information posted was factually inaccurate. I understand that you are referencing past articles, however, some of those articles are inaccurate in regards to my career. I did inform these reporters that they had my career wrong and some changed the articles, some didn't. Please allow our aide, Josh Foote, to post the the edits.

The following are the inaccuracies: I am not and was never a dental hygienist nor do I currently work for a dental products company. I was a dental professional. I worked in many facets of the dental field; consulting, instructor, product specialist. This is why dental professional is the most accurate term.

I really would like my biography to be accurate. Thank you for your time and I hope you edit the page.

Thank you,

Maria Rodriguez-Gregg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.36.26.49 (talk) 22:40, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I appreciate that and I'm willing to help. The way Wikipedia works, though, is based on sourcing. Your word alone isn't enough. (How do I really know who I'm talking to?) I'll try to rework the article based on the sources we have. If you have any others, please feel free to share them with me. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:12, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Future BBWAA ballot candidates like Glaus, Sweeney

So I see you undid my deletions [I wasn't signed in] because of WP:CRYSTAL. Which I get, but then why are guys like Troy Glaus and Mike Sweeney noteworthy candidates, but not guys like Garret Anderson or Jason Kendall? I'm not randomly choosing who is on the list, I'm basing it on historical trends (which, yeah, is subjective) and (more importantly) those I've actually seen often mentioned in articles about future eligible. I can source if need be. Masternachos (talk) 19:06, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Fair point, that the lists as they are currently developed are a CRYSTAL violation as well. The lists that you're editing are somewhat randomly chosen. It should probably be everybody or nobody. Or perhaps adding sources to back up the speculation. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:09, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

We "could" use one of those Baseball-Reference.com stats like HOF Monitor... players with a score of, say, 90 or higher. But finding articles written "about" strengths of upcoming ballots and listing the candidates they do seems like the best solution; I may or may not get right to it!

Edit: OR, what if we had agreed-upon milestones? 2000 hits, 300 saves, 200 wins... I don't really know much about Wikipedia's "rules" as the Hall of Fame balloting pages are pretty much all I deal with.

Masternachos (talk) 01:37, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

The "rules" are really just that content should be verifiable with reliable sources, and not subject to original research or synthesis of existing research. So, certain "milestones" are a bit tricky. For instance, Jorge Posada retired with less than 2,000 hits, but since he was a power hitting catcher with 4 WS rings, one could make a credible case for him making the Hall. I think the best way to do to this is to find journalists writing articles about the chances of a certain player. I suggest taking this conversation to the community at WT:BASEBALL so we can formalize some guidelines. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:18, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Assemblywoman-Elect Maria Rodriguez-Gregg

Hello,

I saw your response regarding my career and how you have to cite articles/verifiable sources. Here is the biography on our website, maybe you can use this? Again, the career part is still dodgy and I prefer my bio is used instead of what reporters write. They often get confused about dentistry and think there are only dentists and hygienists.

http://burlcogop.org/candidates/legislative-candidates/maria-rodriguez-gregg/

I understand that you cannot verify that I'm Maria Rodriguez-Gregg but here's the bio and it's definitely the most accurate.

Thank you,

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Johan Yan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Potential sockpuppet of Levineps

Recently, User:Oriole85 (contribs) has been sporadically popping up on my watchlist for category-related changes. A lot of new users do that, so it wasn't a particularly noteworthy thing for me. But then he kept showing up with a higher frequency, oftentimes making (what I thought to be) completely unnecessary over-categorizations to articles. I've been on Wikipedia long enough to know that User:Levineps (contribs) is one of the most notorious over-categorizers we've ever seen (and has the community sanctions, block records, and bans to show for it). So, I did about two minutes' worth of research and discovered that Oriole85's account was created / his edits began on November 5, 2013. When was the last edit by Levineps? November 4, 2013. That is not a coincidence IMO. I don't have (a) the time right now, nor (b) the motivation to formally open an SPI, but I'm hoping that one of the many people I'm notifying about this does. If you're wondering why you're being pinged about this, it's because I saw where you were one of the people who has left messages on Levineps' talk page at some point regarding his inappropriate editing. So now, in addition to all of the aforementioned issues with Levineps, it looks like a probably sockpuppet to throw into the mix. Jrcla2 (talk) 05:31, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm happy to help but honestly not sure how to. I've found articles that were so short that they could clearly be expanded by doing a thorough search of available sources, and started new articles that I've been able to make long enough. Some of my hooks have been great, while others have been just good enough that nobody would object to it. I say find a short article (or if you know of a new one you want to start, go with that), and devote some time to researching the subject to find all the data you can. Then add everything you can.

Images

Is there a certain reason why you can't use an image off of Google for a sports character? Because it would be a lot easier if you could just do that and put those images from the most recent dateKingryan227 (Decrees • Acts) 21:42, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

All images need to be public domain. Wikipedia survives by not violating copyrights. See Wikipedia:Copyrights for more information. – Muboshgu (talk) 13:39, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
