Clarity vs content

I would always go for a clear concise article. If you need to cut some text that you are unsure about, you can paste it onto the talk page with an explanation of why it was cut. A rambling load of trivia is not what Wikipedia is about.--Harkey (talk) 21:27, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Is there any wikipedia guideline that states preference between these two types of articles? I would be happy to link to such articles, if I get involved in a discussion regarding why the information was deleted. Also, what is wikipedia, and what is it not about? Thanks :)

Ok thanks. And should tables be supplemented or replaced with timelines, wherever relevant? (Timelines are obviously a lot clearer, but then tables are also helpful. But one major problem is that tables take up too much of page space, lowering article readablity)

That's the kind of thing that you should draft in your sandbox, then request feedback on at the article talk page. Whichever people think is the better presentation should be included, or if they feel both work. You can have multiple sandboxes, or could include several similar subjects in the same one, 'Discographies', 'Playoff brackets', whatever. Dru of Id (talk) 01:20, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

I have not been "brainwashed" by dahn yoga. I've never done it, nor had I heard of it until the recent request for comment (RFC), an RFC that I see you yourself received an invitation to participate in. If you go to the article's talk page, you will see four users agreed that the article is written like an advertisement. Why on Earth you would think my changes were made to portray Dahn yoga sound better, I don't know. You should read the comments on the talk page and see that the consensus is to remove the promotional material, a difficult process that I am attempting to do step by step. —Torchiest talkedits 11:56, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
In that case both of us are on the same side. I was under the impression that those edits were made by you. Someone removed the paragraphs starting "Some Dahn Yoga reports in the media describes accusations that the organization operates a manipulative "cult"..." (and other related paragraphs), and I saw it was you. So I reverted back, and put that message on your talk page.
Sorry for the inconvinience, if any :)

Hm, looking at it now, I can see how you would get that impression. Like I said, it's a pretty big mess, and although I did a handful of edits the first time around, the reversion I did does look like it's putting back some questionable material while removing some legitimate information. I'm looking through the history to see how I did that. Glad we worked it out though. —Torchiest talkedits 15:41, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Osama Bin Laden

It's more a de facto rule. Ideally, a nominator who puts forward an article for assessment should have contributed, in some form or another. While I did state that was the principal reason for failing the article, it does not conform to the GA criteria: the lead does not summarize the article sufficiently, there are several dead links and prose is dubious in parts. If you want to take this to GAC in the future, do consult with the major contributors of the article (perhaps on its talkpage) as this is one of Wikipedia's most read articles. -- Lemonade51 (talk) 16:13, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. Actually the reason I nominated the article was because the last Good Article nomination was failed because of some minor problems, all of which were later resolved. So I concluded from the information that the article must have been good enough, save these 2-3 mistakes.
The dead links have been removed, as far as I could have done it. For the dablinks, I could not find where they were. It will be nice of you, if you can please check both these things, and see if it has been done correctly and please correct it, if it isnt.
For the prose, i will try to see what I can do to make it better. Can you please suggest what will make the lead intro better? Because in my opinion, it looks pretty much ok, in so far as the information is concerned [The only major difference is the lack of the word terrorist, which has been omitted for obvious reasons]
Thanks,

Regarding adoption

Hi TheOriginalSoni. I notice you've put a "request for adoption" template on your userpage. Given the number of users starting on the encyclopedia each day and the number who look for adoption, there can often be a backlog when just displaying the request. You are much more likely to find an adopter if you are pro-active about it, perhaps asking an editor or two from the list of adopters if they would consider adopting you? Good luck in finding someone to help out. WormTT(talk) 10:39, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Additional tips...

Just a question I have on wikipedia - Clarity vs content

I have often seen bad wikipedia articles that contain tons of information that is completely incomprehensible. And usually, when it is to be bettered, it involves the cropping of a lot of data involved to usefully display only a part of it in a concise and better manner.

Is wikipedia just a storehouse of information or is the main aim to be understandable? (By the latter, I DO NOT imply breaking things into layman terms, but using the correct approaches to display the given information, and removing any information that may be potentially useless from the article's readablity point of view, but still might have been considered useful were one to make an exhaustive storehouse of information) If its the latter, then shouldnt the approach of editors be being more expressive without losing the technicality?

For example, I recently edited Sweet Child o' Mine wherein I added the Legacy section, instead of the messed up Cover Versions. It necessarily involved cropping of some, if not a lot, of involved. Would this be considered a good edit?

Proposed deletion of Kinetic Finance Limited Scam

The article Kinetic Finance Limited Scam has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

Nomination of Kinetic Finance Limited Scam for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Kinetic Finance Limited Scam 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/Kinetic Finance Limited Scam until a consensus is reached, and anyone 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 template from the top of the article. Nouniquenames 15:47, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Abdul Hakeem, Pakistan

Hello, just letting you know I removed your prod on the above article as you didn't give a reason for deletion as required.

Thank you. Rotten regard Softnow 00:47, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Hey. Thanks for that. But I believe that while adding reasons for our actions is important, it is not a necessary condition for performing what is appropriate, and not specifying any reason as such is not reason enough to be reverted. [Do let me know if I am wrong though]. (Personally I find it cumbersome, and prefer not to give any reasons if I believe my actions are apparent/correct enough).
Regarding the deletion of content and the subsequent PROD, I did so as per WP:notablity. There was nothing in the article which spoke even distantly of any notablity, and the only way to clean the badly written article was to blank out anything not important. As it turned out, it was just the opening line that remained, leading me to add the PROD. Should you agree to my POV, please do rePROD it, or add it to AfD [or whatetevr is necessary] If not, then I myself shall start an AfD soon enough on the same lines.
talk

With a proposed deletion there is a definite requirement to give a reason. As to the removal of large parts of the text, well they were largely unreferenced so no telling how accurate or not they may be. As this article is claiming to be about a city, then if said location actually exists it would almost certainly be notable. So I think an afd would be best. Rotten regard Softnow 14:58, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
My bad. Did not see it. Thanks.
Because this PROD was tagged and removed because of a misunderstanding, can a PROD be tagged again? The only reason for you untagging (I suppose) was not specifying the reason for it. Does it constitute enough circumstance for the article to be not tagged PROD again?

Featured article candidate

I noticed that you began the process to nominate Isaac Newton as a Featured article candidate. I appreciate that you are acting in good faith, but nominators are expected to actively respond to suggested improvements during the FAC; this is difficult, if not impossible, for nominators who have not significantly participated in the article and are not familiar with the sources.
I have withdrawn the nomination at this time. If you feel that the article meets the featured article criteria, please consult the principal contributors to the article (as required per the featured article candidate instructions) to request their participation in a future nomination. Best of luck to you. Maralia (talk) 22:55, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Umm... Sorry but is there any rule in Wikipedia that articles whose original writers have not nominated them do not have a chance to get nominated. I remember getting stuck on that once before, where it was clarified that it is not the case.
My opinion is that the article is good enough to make through the FA process (or atleast get GA status) as is.
As for contacting the original writers, almost every [major] change to the article happened more than 4 year ago, leaving not many editors with significant changes active at all.
I do believe that the article does indeed require a chance to go to FA status even if it is without any major editors at the moment. I personally shall try my best to sew the ends in whatever problems exist in the article [If I cant, I believe somebody might be willing to.]
Therefore I ask you to reinstate the withdrawn FA nomination
talk
) 19:38, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
No, there is no rule that articles whose original writers have not nominated them do not have a chance to get nominated. However, there is a rule that nominators who are not significant contributors to the article must consult those who are. I touched on the reasons for this in my post above: nominators need to be intimately familiar with the article and the sources because they are responsible for addressing concerns raised by reviewers. As far as the rules go, technically you could ask the significant contributors for their input, and then nominate the article if they are not opposed—but you would be hard pressed to respond to feedback at FAC without having worked on the article.
I really don't mean to be discouraging; the article is in fairly decent shape, and it's an important topic that could be a great FA with some work. A FAC at this point would be one-sided, though, with reviewers raising concerns that could not be researched and answered within the usual timeframe of a couple of weeks. I would suggest enlisting the help of other editors, familiarizing yourself with the highest-quality sources, and starting with peer review or GAC. Maralia (talk) 07:06, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice. I shall send this article over to Peer Review at once, and see if WikiProject Science can do something to help elevate the article's standard.

Re: New editors

Re your message: I believe that my handling of the editor's edits was correct. He has for months been trying to add links to his business' website to Valley of Flowers National Park. If you review the edit history of the article, you will see that he has been using multiple IPs and accounts since my interaction with him to try to get the links added and he has been reverted several times by different editors: [1][2][3][4][5][6] and the account Trekforall (talk · contribs). -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:19, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. From the website name, and the homepage, it looked very much like a site about the place, without any affliation to any business. It was under close look only that I realised that.
And I was unaware that he was using multiple accounts and IP - I was under the sole impression that he was a good faith editor who tried to put pictures without realising why they were not suitable

From Bekdm

Hi! I'm kinda new to wiki and have no idea how to answer to you properly, so let it be here for now :) What I meant about translating an article - it would be nice to have some wiki-tool to quickly add a translation to existing article. I thought I could find some "Add translation" button. Bekdm (talk) 13:01, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

The problem with that idea is that this encyclopedia is in English, and that happens to be the only language which the articles are written in. For any other language, we use THAT language only. Hope I answered your question. If its not the case, or you have any further questions, please do say.

I'm starting to understand, that en.wikipedia.org and ru.wikipedia.org are different sites, but despite the fact they share links on translations (some of them exist on both languages and even more), those translations are actually different articles, not one article in different languages. And that's the problem. Bekdm (talk) 14:01, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes. Exactly. But I dont think there is any problem with that. There may be many things about Putin which might be of a lot more interest to readers in Russian, but maybe not so much for Englsh readers. Here both the wikis are independant and that makes it sure that English readers do not have to go through say the list of songs he likes..

Edit summaries

Hello TheOriginalSoni,
Thanks for you efforts to improve Wikipedia. It seems however that you don't think that you need to explain your edits (your comments from previous posts), but if you are going to delete substantial sections of pages (like here at Ganish including several sources, and here, and also here) then it is a very good idea to do so. A simple RVV (revert vandalism), unsourced, or similar is all that is required. See Wikipedia:Edit summary legend for more acronyms, and also Edit summary. I hope these pages are of some help.

) 17:16, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
Well, I don't agree with the removal of the links to
militant (word) if the context suggests that the term was being used in a deliberately vague or euphemistic way. Linking it to the disambiguation page just sweeps the problem under the rug instead of fixing it. --R'n'B (call me
Russ) 20:11, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
I agree that my solution was not the best one that could have been. But I went with the reasoning that something is better than nothing, and did what I did. If it caused any problems, then I apologise.
That being said, linking it to terrorist or insurgent was not useful. While being very similar on many occasions, all three words have very different meaaning and usages. Linking to wither of them was NOT going to work. And as for the militart(word), the article is only useful when discussing how the word has affected English language, and its usages in the language - NOT the word itself. Therefore I went with the best I could, which was to link to the disamb page. I believe it was the best fix at the time, and you may believe otherwise.
Finally, what can be done about the article now is to first separate the disamb page from the actual page, and expand on the actual page. That my edits need to be reverted after this is done goes without saying. When done, the militant page must be describing militants in a way the terrorist and insurgent pages do, making sure to draw a line between the three.

Su-kam Power Systems Edit

Hi,

I wanted to understand the reason for deletion of the 'awards and recognition' category from Su-kam Power Systems wiki page.Ankursharma88 (talk) 15:10, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Firstly, half the things written there were in bold. Wikipedia has quite a bit of rules when it comes to writing in bold.
Secondly, what awards the company has won in some obscure award will be trivia. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of facts. The awards section was not going to be any way helpful to the article's understanding, but was giving it the look of an advertisment. The article was actually good, compared to other new articles, and its level must be mantained, not decreased.

talk
) 12:48, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, let's start with the $64,000 question. <g> To find, you have to read. You can get a lot by using Google Search or similar, especially if you work out how best to form the search term. Google also has "Books", "News" and "Scholar", which often turn up different results. If you are using GBooks then you should never rely on anything that is only available to you in what they call "snippet view" - you cannot see the context because you only get a small part of the page. If you feel that there is something but you do not have the full context then you can always ask around and see if anyone has a copy of the book (or you could try a local library etc). We have a great facility at
reliable sources guideline then it will be ok to cite it in an article. I much prefer to have the entire thing in front of me than to see only bits of it online but life doesn't always work out like that.

Can I make a suggestion? Rather than wander on to explain how to add and verify citations, how about we try a little exercise in finding the sources first? You mention bin Laden above - do you have any other articles/subjects that you are interested in? I'll try to set you a few queries and you can let me know what you find when you dig around for the answers. It won't be anything complicated. Oh, and by the way, I am in the UK: if you are somewhere else then it is possible that we will not see the same results if we use Google or a similar search engine, but we'll worry about that if and when it happens. - Sitush (talk

Yes, start with the easy stuff. You were right to opt for The Hindu, which is by far the most reliable news source in India. Second-best would be the ToI but its standards are dropping nowadays and it is becoming more and more of a gossip rag. Since The Hindu covered it, anything else is redundant - al those other websites you refer to, etc. Also note that if a story is supplied by a press agency such as PTI or IANS then you will often find it repeated across numerous newspapers, but we should still prefer to use the most reliable of those papers.

Umm.. I thought The Statesman was most reliable of all newspapers, wasn't it?

And some that say they are not?

Summary on AFD of List of Castes

While adding a summary of arguments is certainly fine in the course of a long AFD, these should be kept at the chronological point of discussion so that new editors can understand the when and why that the summary was added. Putting that summary at the top of the AFD both hurts that and appears as trying to sway the AFD in one direction or another before editors have had a chance to read the arguments leading to that point. --MASEM (t) 17:12, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Alright. At that time I was really irritated by comments such as DreamFocus where he persistent in pushing forward his POV despite lacking any basic understanding of how the system works. And as for swaying the reader, I believed that if someone from the Keep side could add the relevant points, the summary could just be a good way of helping new editors joining in the discussion understand what the problems are.

  • I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what "DYK" means or is. If your trying to create an article on Wikipedia about it, I think that the article would be in just fine shape to be posted. It'll just need a lot more work and information, and a non-copyrighted picture. If the "DYK standards" is something that is preventing you from posting it to Wikipedia, then I'll need more information on "DYK" before helping. But thanks for the offering! ST✪12 23:49, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
DYK is the "Did you know" section that appears on the main page. But for an article to come to DYK, it needs to expand about five-fold in the past 7 days. I am trying to meet that standards to make sure this article gets to the main page, which it(IMO) deserves to. Thats why I am trying to edit the article as much as I can here - User:TheOriginalSoni/Sky city before I post the updated version on the article, thus starting the 7 day period from then.
It would be great if you could help in working on the article and thus take it to the main page! thanks.

  • (from Astronaut's talk page) :I'm not sure what else you have added over the existing article, Sky City (Changsha), that would warrant a DYK entry; nor can I think what you might add at this stage that would meet DYK's rules. What I do see however, is some rephrasing that might have been produced by machine translation from another source (eg. "layers" in a building are more usually called "floors" or "storeys" or occasionally "levels") as well as a highly dubious claim that the project will consume 270 million tons of steel. That is a hell of a lot of steel equal to ~18% of the world's yearly steel production - similar sized buildings have a much smaller mass.
If you are planning a major expansion, do go ahead, but with a possible DYK entry as a secondary consideration and perhaps only if construction actually starts. Unfortunately, I won't be able to help you much. I have had to reduce the time I spend at Wikipedia due to a very busy real life schedule. Astronaut (talk) 17:53, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I am pretty sure I knew what I was doing when I put the welcome sign up there. From what I see of the IP, the user is definitely a big contributor of Indian movies and TV shows. But apparently due to a lack of communication between users like you, and him, and his tendency to make bad quality prose as well as ignorance on Wikipedia policies; it makes him appear to be a vandal, which he was not, according to my judgement (The fact that he did actually go to AfC implies he is a good faith contributor). Hence I made the welcome. (If you are absolutely sure that he is a vandal, please show edits supporting your statement)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sapnon Hai Pyaar Ki Kahani

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Sapnon Hai Pyaar Ki Kahani, is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

TheOriginalSoni was correct in reverting the section blank. the annon has an inappropriate grasp of what is and isn't notable. In most cases articles are filled with content that wouldn't be notable for a stand-alone article, in fact the section he has continued to remove has links to notable subjects with stand-alone articles. His mass section blanking with no edit summary was grounds for a revert. Bhockey10 (talk) 20:40, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
Incorrect, wiki policy is NOT divided into 'stand-alone' and 'not stand alone'. Bhockey10 is misinformed, or acting out or self-interest. In any case, the page is reverted to follow policy.

If you were to read the policy you would know the answer. Let me make this clear. Lets say I start a 5 year old boys hockey league in Austin Texas. Can I create a wiki article for that league? No, why? Because it is not worthy of being in an encyclopedia. WIkipedia creates standards and policys which are agreed by not just one person but by many, highlighting what should and should no be in an encylcopedia. This community has set a stardard for hockey which is a player has to have played 100 games at or above the echl level to be notable. ECHL is not that high a level if you are to think about it in comparison to the best hockey players in the world. This standard applies not only to stand alone pages, but to notable lists as well. Going back to my 5 year old boy league. This league does not meet the standard of wikipedia. Under this same standard the ACHA falls short. Under guidelines a strong case can be made to have this page removed. The ACHA is not a pro league and is not a top amature league. This is covered by the page which speaks to NCAA hockey. Do you see how this can now be a problem? Every hockey league in the world can create a wiki page and create a list of 'notable' people. What would happen to the creditablity of wikipedia if this were to happen? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.84.241.55 (talk) 21:04, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
How exactly was the user in question involved in this issue? Did he start the league? Was he putting his own name there? Do you have any substantiative claims to make?
Umm. No. The guideline refers solely having an article under his name, not to be included in a list. Look carefully and you shall realise that this list actually has a well-defined explanation for notablity to be included in this list.

In borderline cases, users are watched carefully anyway as are all CVUA graduates during their first few weeks of use of new tools.

I think I give up on editing the star article. Its way different from the usual paraphrasing and writing that I am used to doing. Sorry if I made the article worse though. If its possible, I shall come back from the Delhi article sometime later to see if I can add anything here.

If that is a copyrighted image, for using ine every article you have to add a separate rationale that why you think the use will be fair use. For reference see rationales in this image --Tito Dutta (talk) 18:13, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Delhi rape case article

Thank you for

2012 Delhi gang rape case does not have an edit summary
. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks!

Sorry its just a habit of mine not to leave edit summaries. I understand it can be problematic to the ones editing after me, but its just natural. Will try to change it though.

Hello, yes, glad understood it well. Further, it will be great if you provide edit summaries while editing an article which is highly visible being present in the ITN section. Thanks! -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 11:21, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
I realised that. Usually there arent such problems so i tend to not do it; but since this topic is super visible, and I have been making more than minor edits, I shall keep it in mind.
