WP:MOS, relevant WikiProject guidelines, proper English, and common sense. The easiest way to do that is to compare it with an article on a similar topic and see in general what kinds of sources it uses, what sections it includes, etc. For an article on a bird, you will need to discuss its habitat, diet, migratory patterns (if any), variations, and maybe significance to humans in rituals, culture, etc. Posting something as a GA nomination is a pretty low-stress process but it's worthwhile to polish up the article beforehand.

You're supposed to know this. As the Greatest Living Wikipedian(tm) you still do not have an automatic priority over others. For a clearly contested edit like this, you (and yes, you too, the Almighty and Infallible Koavf) are still required to discuss this blanking with other editors.

WP:OR applies to everything in the encyclopedia: is there any source saying that certain of these laws is significant? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 14:47, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply
]
Quotes aren't OR. There is one contentious word in that section title, "significant" that could be said to be an uncited opinion (which is still short of OR). Yet you blanked the whole section, then you edit-warred to enforce your blanking.
I have had thankfully little to do with your editing. Yet what I have seen of it is characterised by this: because you are the greatest editor, you act as if yoou are implicitly correct and all the little people are inconsequential. We are not. You are required to discuss a reverted edit before repeating it, even you.
I know little of Hammurabi. I have a vague layman's interest, but it's not my field. I understand that this Code is considered significant (i.e. it's not novel OR to say so, merely unsourced), I'm happy to see that as a title. You are not, that's OK. Really it should be sourced and we have a legitimate disagreement of opinion as to whether it must be sourced or else deleted, and that's OK too. What's not OK is for you to blank the whole section as a consequence. Maybe try discussing this around the article talk: and getting opinions from the subject experts who can explain why they're significant, or who has RS-described them as significant.
Seagull management though to blank a section and walk away is just unconstructive, especially when you're asserting your right to edit--war it over others. You have no such privilege. This is a GA where the header has stood for some time, so it has had some level of scrutiny by others. It's not an article that you have had a deep involvement in. Hit and run section blanking is hardly ever a positive contribution to the encyclopedia, even when you do it. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:45, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply

@Andy Dingley: Okay. We also have a difference of opinion as to what constitutes an appropriate way to talk to a stranger. I'm happy to collaborate with others but not interested in someone being rude to me while I'm trying to make an encyclopedia. Thanks for your time. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 14:54, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
refill rather than the barelinks tag - it's improved in adding the "author=" field for some sites recently. -- Callinus (talk) 05:44, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply

@Callinus: I was in the middle of responding when you changed your comment. I am torn on the refs tool precisely for this reason: it is fairly easy to extract a URI and a title from HTML but not so easy to get the author, time, publisher, etc. (because most web authors don't use metadata, which is really sad). There are definitely improvements in having a bare minimum of information over a bare URI but it's even better to fill in more info, which requires human discretion. I'll have to reconsider using the tool. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:50, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

American film lists
Hi, I believe you work a lot using AWB. I was wondering if you could continue where I left off on here for 1944 and plough through the lists by year? Ser Amantio did start doing some of the ones in 50s to 70s period I think but he's currently not responding. Basically that needs adding by year to each of the entries from early 1900s to present to improve browsing and connect to the lists. The same process needs to be done really for the other countries like List of British films of 1944 etc.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:27, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Many of my edits are small formatting and editorial changes which provide consistency or which link information on the encyclopedia to other information.
I have some understanding of Spanish and so I will go to that Wikipedia sometimes to make edits. Similarly, I occasionally remember that the Simple English Wikipedia exists and try to help out there. With other Wikipedias, I will add images or (e.g.) replace PNG maps with SVG ones. Sometimes, I will notice formatting errors which are language-independent and should be fixed.

Page mover granted
Hello, Koavf. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.
Hi Justin, I saw your RFRPM request. I recently did a pass through the editnotice pseudo-space with Special:PrefixIndex/Template:Editnotices/Page/. Ping me if indeed you did find other pages that needed to be moved (think it was a decent pass though). FYI, there are a lot of R.E.M. editnotices on redirect pages that there's little to do to mitigate (deletion is not clearly an option). For context, there are legitimate editnotices on redirects (such as Template:Editnotices/Page/Giants). There are 2 MfDs here and here on editnotices to non-existent targets. Anyway, congrats on page mover, obviously was a no-brainer decision :) — Andy W.(talk ·ctb) 17:52, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Stalker
Are we sure we want to add this? Note that it was already added and reverted. I would personally want to leave it out until there is better confirmation whether this is real or a hoax of some sort. My instinct is that this is just a prank by Sufjan or someone close to him. I am honestly surprised all these websites are posting articles relating the details of the reddit post as if they're fact. Bah humbug ... state of journalism, etc. etc. :) Jujutacular (talk) 20:43, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@
reliable sources say. They seem to indicate that this thing exists. Furthermore, it's consistent with other sources where Stevens mentions having written songs about stalkers, etc. This is hardly implausible. In fact, I don't really see why anyone thinks that it's a hoax... —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:59, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply
@Jujutacular: If anything, it being a hoax is a better reason to leave a note at least and say what the most reputable sources say. Otherwise, someone will come looking for info or make the page, etc. On q:, we have a policy to include misattributed quotations for exactly this reason. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:44, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Moving The Greatest (Sia song)
@
Sia (singer), then all of this should be "Sia Furler x". If there isn't, then all of it should be named "Sia (singer) x". —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:02, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply
]
It's not really up to me; consensus would need to be reached, as
Sia Furler. Personally I would be against disambiguating her songs with "Sia Furler song" because she is far more widely known as her mononym professionally. As far as I know, there isn't another notable Sia. I think consensus would need to be reached to disambiguate her songs further, as I'm afraid it would ignite a move war, as others feel more strongly about the naming conventions of her articles than me. Perhaps her main article should be under Sia (musician) or similar title for consistency, but it's the way it is at the moment due to several past discussions.

MemorialHi, thank you for suggesting a remembrance of Ray. I have not had any volunteers; I knew him a little, we shared a hotel room for Wikimania once, but were both quite busy and didn't talk as much as I'd have liked. I've begun pulling together some notes here. Could you take a look, and add/comment if you have any thoughts? I trust you knew him better than I did; you're welcome to dig in as much as you'd like, and if you'd like to be the primary or even sole author, I'm open to that.
We are behind on putting out this issue. I'd like to pull it together in the next 24 hours, but I'm not sure if that's realistic. The sooner you could look, the better -- but any help is welcome. Thanks for the suggestion in any case. -Pete (talk) 03:00, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Peteforsyth: I did not know him, actually but I am a little active on wikilivres:, where I interacted with him and he knew others. I will post there to see if anyone can turn around some thoughts on him. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:03, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I thought I had an account there, but apparently not; and I can't create one, so I'll ask you here. Can you comment on the future of the site, which I believe Ray owned and operated? Or do you know anybody else who could comment? Perhaps Yann knows something? -Pete (talk) 18:57, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Soupforone: Agreed. But as you will see in Category:Countries in Africa by region, there are several overlapping schemes which could leave one country in two regions. E.g. Western Sahara is in the Maghreb, which is consequently in Northern Africa, which is a part of the larger Middle East. All of those categories are also inside of this parent category, so someone navigating directly from Category:Countries in Africa by region should be able to find Eritrea in all relevant subcategories (without having to navigate down another level). Generally, we should not have an article or category in both a category and its own subcategory but this seems like a reasonable exception to me. Now someone else may argue that this scheme shouldn't exist at all and that's a legitimate discussion to have but I'm fine with the way it's implemented now. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:34, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the quick reply. Territories indeed can and often do straddle several different regions, as they have both latitudes and longitudes. Thus, Zambia is in Southeast Africa or in both Southern Africa and Eastern Africa since it is located in the continent's southern and eastern hemispheres. However, I'm not sure that is the situation here because the categories above are in a parent-child format rather discrete parallel categories.
WP:SUBCAT indicates that "apart from certain exceptions (i.e. non-diffusing subcategories, see below), an article should be categorised as low down in the category hierarchy as possible, without duplication in parent categories above it." The categories in question are not non-diffusing. It therefore appears that they should be in the standard parent-child format. Would it be alright, then, if I were to adjust the categorization accordingly? Kind Regards-- Soupforone (talk) 17:31, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply

@Soupforone: I understand your point and I'm of two minds. On the one hand, if someone is at Category:Countries in Africa by region, I don't think he should have to click twice to get to an individual country. On the other hand, we generally shouldn't have an item in both a parent and child category. Whatever you decide to do I won't revert. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:11, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, that makes sense. Please let me know if you need help with anything. Cheers-- Soupforone (talk) 02:19, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For one, it is inconsistent with other similar pages, as I showed with the IG example; also, such changes were motivated by reasons other than a desire to present an accurate picture of the site; finally, the "history and controversy" parts of the lede comprise the majority of the lede. Other than that, it's fine. I think my edit is far more representative of the article's importance. Again, WT is not "not WV" but it is being presented as such. Essentially, this lede has become an advertisement for its competitor, by its competitor. Not kosher at all. 98.158.206.121 (talk) 02:26, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@98.158.206.121: I'm not even disputing the motivations--that is something I cannot know and would beg the question of your motivations in deleting it. I'm just saying that deleting it outright is incorrect. The fact that Instagram lacks something doesn't mean this should be deleted. I am an admin at Wikitravel, so I don't have a horse in this race. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:29, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to George W. Johnson may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
