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 removed 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.

I noticed that you draftified an article today

I enabled auto-archiving. Everything should clear off the page in about 6 hours, if you don't want to do it manually.

Category:People critical of Donald Trump, which you created, has been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming. A discussion is taking place to see if it abides with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the categories for discussion page. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:37, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello Mr. Guye. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that there is consensus that we shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1) and/or content (CSD A3) moments after they are created, as you did at Nathalie Pires. It's usually best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course still be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.

@Jon698: Sure! You can join by adding your name under the section #Participants. It looks like I'm the only name there right now, but I think there are some informal members whose names aren't there. I didn't create the task force, but I think I'm the most active member. But yeah, join! It is a task force of WikiProject Politics. Just saying though, you don't have to be a member of a WikiProject or task force in order to contribute to Wikipedia articles.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  02:29, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Sir, I realize your concern about sources but let me clarify a couple of points here. First of all, the German version of this article has even less sources and it was accepted regardless. By the way, some information in that German article is inaccurate or incomplete. Secondly, we're talking here about a secret military object with extremely limited access, so don't even hope to find anything about it over the Internet except for some vague mentions on forums and Google Groups. It's not a museum and it's not open for public, thus, obtaining detailed information about it will be nearly impossible. Finally, I know people who own it personally, I've myself been inside, and I had a luxury to look through the (huge) pile of documentation on it. My proposal is to accept the article as it is right now because more "verifiable" sources is simply not going to happen in the nearest future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.96.203.158 (talk) 09:15, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

I didn't say it wasn't real. I agree with you more than those editors. The problem is, your tendency to post unreliable blogs as sources is starting to turn them against you because it looks like you are actually attempting to promote those sites, in violation of

Hi Mr. Guye,

This is a friendly notification to let you know that I have recently posted a detailed rationale for the decision to revert an edit you recently made to the Environmental racism in Europe article. Please feel free to consult other editors should you continue to maintain a different viewpoint on the matter.

The response can be found on the Environmental racism in Europe talk page, under the heading "Rationale for length of article: organization by region and national jurisdiction."

Thank you for your taking the time to consider this response.

Hi Mr. Guye. You made a request on WikiProject Sri Lanka on 13 April for an article for Vivienne de Silva Boralessa. Just dropping you a line to tell you it's done :) Thanks for putting the request in!

I am curious though, since I notice you aren't a Sri Lankan yourself- how'd you end up making the request?

- ක - (talk) 12:09, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Jesuschristonacamel I don't remember, to be honest. I may have been exploring other language wikis and saw a long article on her in one of them. I will tell you that Vivienne de Silva Boralessa isn't the only time I've requested an article by putting it on the appropriate WikiProject's page. I do that when I discover an obviously notable subject (usually from a country other than the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, India, Nigeria, etc) that, shockingly, doesn't have an English Wikipedia article. Thanks for creating the article, Wikipedia needed it. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  17:08, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Help me: Citation of government research

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I want to cite research.noaa.gov/News/NewsArchive/LatestNews/TabId/684/ArtMID/1768/ArticleID/12202/Possible-new-threat-to-Earth’s-ozone-layer.aspx, a government website announcing research in what seems to me like a news style (as opposed to a scholarly style). Is there a citation template (like {{cite web}}) intended specifically for citations of government sources, or even of governmental research sources?  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  20:36, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

In a word, no. Really all of the "cite X" family have the same base params, but if you wanted to be more accurate I suppose you could use {{cite news}} (but it would be window dressing). Primefac (talk) 20:47, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

That is... oh boy... one heckuva redirect there. Lol. Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Storm

@

Timothyjosephwood:. . .and I just realized I made a mistake. The redirect should be "Severe Tropical Storm Noru". The "deadly" part was the sources's way of informing that it's already killed people. I'll change that. But still, LOL. There are actually scales like that though. "Very Intense Tropical Cyclone" is one of them (see Tropical cyclone scales#South-Western Indian Ocean). — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs

)  19:59, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Any reason you have been changing article ratings using a script? I tried changing one only for the script to be overwritten.

@Yellow Evan: I've been making banner edits for a considerable time and only relatively recently did I discover the script. I think that many of these cyclone articles have been underrated. Sorry about that last one. I understand your concern about the Noru article, so I'll revert it myself. I assume by your signature that you are active in articles about tropical cyclones and I must say that they are of decent quality. Perhaps I should raise my standards when it comes to those types of articles. What do you think? — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  18:40, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

I haven't looked at each change yet so I'll review others you've rated later. Partially because we have so many good articles (yay!) and partially since we don't use B class much (most non-current articles written by people like myself get assessed at C and then sent to GAN and possibly FAC, so the B class checklist is more moot point), I think our standards are more often than not a bit higher than most. I do appreciate you adding non-WPTC banners to other articles when necessary though.

Hi, Mr. Guye,

"Zero Time Exercise" page has been speedy deleted recently, however, I think it is worth to keep as it is a exercise concept covered by many media in Hong Kong, and a academic conference paper. I have tried to "contest this speedy deletion", but resulting in "contest in the wrong place". Shall I contact the deleting administrator instead?

• Currently there are
  WP:ACTRIAL
  . The NPP project is undertaking a drive to clear these pages from the backlog before they hit the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing a few today!

Technology update:

• The Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on creating a new filter for page curation that will allow new page patrollers to filter by extended confirmed status. For more information see: T175225

General project update:

• On 14 September 2017 the English Wikipedia began
  autoconfirmed status. New users who attempt article creation will now be redirected to a newly designed landing page
