Black Orchid

I finally tracked down that article. It's in your email. Argento Surfer (talk) 17:56, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I just took a look at your list of future projects, and I have some stuff on Kid Eternity and Doom Patrol as well. I'll see if I can track them down. Are you interested in pre-Vertigo Doom Patrol? Argento Surfer (talk) 18:00, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Argento Surfer: Thanks again! I've downloaded it and will add it to my draft version. I've actually also got a draft for Doom Patrol that covers some of the pre-Vertigo stuff. I haven't started Kid Eternity just yet; I like to track down a few sources to get me started but haven't done so with that yet. JOEBRO64 18:25, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see you already have the Back Issue I was thinking of... Argento Surfer (talk) 18:53, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, TheJoebro64. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Heroes in Crisis, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

  1. edit the page
  2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
  3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

The sources for the information about the Galoomba is the game itself and the game’s manual. I’ve added the citations now (the game and its original manual).

Hi again. Regarding this revision on Super Mario World, most of the information in the “Gameplay” section of the article use the manual or the game as citations. The different Galoomba and Koopa Troopa enemies are some of the most notable changes that Super Mario World instituted as one of the series’ most iconic enemies, the Goomba, was replaced with a different enemy, and another one of the series’ most iconic enemies, the Koopa Troopa, was severely changed. I think that’s worth mentioning.

The Future of the DCAU - Kevin Conroy Reference

I see why you reverted the edit, but if you read the reference you cited, it's not about the DCAU. The only mention of the DCAU in the article you cited is the opening paragraph, but it's not supported or referenced throughout the rest of the article. The title of the article is even "Kevin Conroy Reveals The Real Reason They Stopped Making ‘Batman: The Animated Series’" If you can find a full transcript of the interview that backs your viewpoint I'd be more than happy to accept it, but that article just doesn't back up your edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smnc (talkcontribs) 15:39, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Smnc: you are incorrect. The title of the article says that it's about BTAS, but read Kevin Conroy's quotes about why they stopped after Justice League Unlimited:

They didn’t stop making the shows because the audience wasn’t there or the actors weren’t there, they stopped, really, because the creators ran out of ideas for stories. And they didn’t want to compromise on the quality of what they had and start creating kind of silly stories.

Notice how he says "shows", not "show". So he's clearly not referring to BTAS specifically. Then he's also quoted as saying this:

So they go, ‘Look, we gotta go in a whole new different direction.’ So then they went to Batman and Robin, they brought in Robin, that was the next series. Then they went into Batman Beyond, you know, recruiting a young guy. And then it was the Justice League. They were always looking at different ways to re-imagine the characters, just so they can get new storylines. A lot of it had to do with trying to come up with stories that weren’t becoming ridiculous.

Here he's referring to all the DCAU series. He also says "characters"; he's not referring to simply Batman. JOEBRO64 18:01, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You're inferring the meaning. Wikipedia Verifiability guidelines clearly state that sources must directly support claims. Without a full transcript of the interview, you simply don't know what he meant. In addition, Kevin Conroy is a voice actor on the shows, not part of the creative or management teams, plus he's recalling things from over 20 years ago so his reliability as a source is debatable. Robin was actually introduced in BTAS, not in TNBA as he states.
As for "characters" Robin, the supporting cast and the rogues gallery all got makeovers in TNBA.
My initial interpretation of the quotes is that they stopped making BTAS in 1995 because they were out of ideas and he means "episodes" when he says "shows". He then goes on to describe the later sequel series' as ways to try and keep things fresh.
I'm not saying your interpretation of the quotes in incorrect, I'm just saying that your source doesn't directly support your statement.

Why shouldn't this article exist? There are articles for the its sequel and prequel. What consensus decided that this page shouldn't exist? Doing this will just create a gap in information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rishukingler11 (talkcontribs) 13:29, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@

. Thus, the article shouldn't exist.
I understand you're newer to Wikipedia so it takes a bit of time to understand how the site works, and I know it's frustrating to think that people don't accept your work that you spent quite a bit of time on. Here's a tip: don't just
you think you own the article
. Believe me, I've had my own struggles with edit-warring and thinking I own articles I wrote, and I still am disappointed by it. But you'll get past it. (I'm also going to point out that I was almost always on the wrong side of the argument in edit wars.)
If you'd like to hear from a more experienced user, I'd contact an
administrator. They are extremely helpful and will provide you tips that really make Wikipedia make more sense. Sergecross73, for example, was one of the first admins I ever encountered, and really taught me a lot about Wikipedia. JOEBRO64 00:42, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply

NPR Newsletter No.12 30 July 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. (Purge)

Hello TheJoebro64, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

June backlog drive

Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

New technology, new rules
  • New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
  • Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
  • Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.
Editathons
  • Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.
The Signpost
  • The next issue of
    the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here

Jill Valentine

Hi. You commented at Jill Valentine's FAC2, which was a long time ago, so I understand if you don't want to get involved again (or even remember commenting in the first place). But JV's FAC3 was dismissed on the basis that I hadn't contacted previous commentators, so I've gone through all previous FACs and "peer reviews" and tried my best to address any issue which had ever been raised. I'm happy with the article as it is now (in that I believe it meets the featured article criteria), but I'd appreciate any feedback from any previous commentator. Do you think there's something I could improve before renominating? And would you be interested in commenting at FAC4? I'd ideally like to address every issue you may have before renominating, so the FAC can be as uneventful as possible. ;) I'd appreciate any feedback you may have, if you have the time. Cheers.

@Homeostasis07: sorry I'm a bit late on responding. I don't think I should get involved with this. I only made one comment (which was a support because the article was well-done) at FAC2, so I wasn't really a significant part of it. Good luck though JOEBRO64 13:51, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.13 18 September 2018

Hello TheJoebro64, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.

Project news
As part of this project, the feed will have some larger updates to functionality next month. Specifically, ORES predictions will be built in, which will automatically flag articles for potential issues such as vandalism or spam. Copyright violation detection will also be added to the new page feed. See the projects's talk page for more info.
Other
  • A new summary page of reliable sources has been created;
    Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources/Perennial sources
    , which summarizes existing RfCs or RSN discussions about regularly used sources.
Moving to Draft and Page Mover
  • Some unsuitable new articles can be best reviewed by moving them to the draft space, but reviewers need to do this carefully and sparingly. It is most useful for topics that look like they might have promise, but where the article as written would be unlikely to survive AfD. If the article can be easily fixed, or if the only issue is a lack of sourcing that is easily accessible, tagging or adding sources yourself is preferable. If sources do not appear to be available and the topic does not appear to be notable, tagging for deletion is preferable (PROD/AfD/CSD as appropriate). See additional guidance at
    WP:DRAFTIFY
    .
  • If the user moves the draft back to mainspace, or recreates it in mainspace, please do not re-draftify the article (although swapping it to maintain the page history may be advisable in the case of copy-paste moves). AfC is optional except for editors with a clear
    conflict of interest
    .
  • Articles that have been created in contravention of our
    COI
    might also be draftified at discretion.
  • The best tool for draftification is
    CSD R2
    , but in some cases it might be better to make this a redirect to a different page instead.
  • The
    Requested Moves
    . Only reviewers who are very experienced and are also very active reviewers are likely to be granted it solely for NPP activities.
List of other useful scripts for New Page Reviewing

  • Twinkle provides a lot of the same functionality as the page curation tools, and some reviewers prefer to use the Twinkle tools for some/all tasks. It can be activated simply in the gadgets section of 'preferences'. There are also a lot of options available at the Twinkle preferences panel after you install the gadget.
  • In terms of other gadgets for NPR, HotCat is worth turning on. It allows you to easily add, remove, and change categories on a page, with name suggestions.
  • MoreMenu also adds a bunch of very useful links for diagnosing and fixing page issues.
  • User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js(info): Installing scripts doesn't have to be complicated. Go to your common.js and copy importScript( 'User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js' ); into an empty line, now you can install all other scripts with the click of a button from the script page! (Note you need to be at the ".js" page for the script for the install button to appear, not the information page)
  • info
    ): Creates a scrolling new pages list at the left side of the page. You can change the number of pages shown by adding the following to the next line on your common.js page (immediately after the line importing this script): npp_num_pages=20; (Recommended 20, but you can use any number from 1 to 50).
  • info
    ): Is requesting revdel complicated and time consuming? This script helps simplify the process. Just have the Copyvio source URL and go to the history page and collect your diff IDs and you can drop them into the script Popups and it will create a revdel request for you.
  • User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js(info): Creates a "Page Curation" link to Special:NewPagesFeed up near your sandbox link.
  • User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/deletionFinder.js: Creates links next to the title of each page which show up if it has been previously deleted or nominated for deletion.
  • User:Evad37/rater.js(info): A fantastic tool for adding WikiProject templates to article talk pages. If you add: rater_autostartNamespaces = 0; to the next line on your common.js, the prompt will pop up automatically if a page has no Wikiproject templates on the talk page (note: this can be a bit annoying if you review redirects or dab pages commonly).

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months.

Hello TheJoebro64, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

Backlog

As of 21 October 2018, there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.

Community Wishlist Proposal
Project updates
  • ORES predictions are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
  • There are now tools being tested to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.
