WikiCup 2013 March newsletter
We are halfway through round two. Pool A sees the strongest competition, with five out of eight of its competitors scoring over 100, and Pool H is lagging, with half of its competitors yet to score. WikiCup veterans lead overall; Pool A's Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (2010's winner) leads overall, with poolmate Miyagawa (submissions) (a finalist in 2011 and 2012) not far behind. Pool F's Casliber (submissions) (a finalist in 2010, 2011 and 2012) is in third. The top two scorers in each pool, as well as the next highest 16 scorers overall, will progress to round three at the end of April.
Today has seen a number of Easter-themed did you knows from WikiCup participants, and March has seen collaboration from contestants with
Wikipedians who enjoy friendly competition may be interested in participating in April's wikification drive. While wikifying an article is typically not considered "significant work" such that it can be claimed for WikiCup points, such gnomish work is often invaluable in keeping articles in shape, and is typically very helpful for new writers who may not be familiar with formatting norms.
A quick reminder: now, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on
WikiCup 2013 April newsletter
We are a week into Round 3, but it is off to a flying start, with
The next issue of The Signpost is due to include a brief update on the current WikiCup, comparing it to previous years' competitions. This may be of interest to current WikiCup followers, and may help bring some more new faces into the community. We would also like to note that this round includes an extra competitor to the 32 advertised, who has been added to a random pool. This extra inclusion seems to have been the fairest way to deal with a small mistake made before the beginning of this round, but should not affect the competition in a large way. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please feel free to contact one of the judges.
A rules clarification: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on 29/30 April, which may be claimed in this round. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on

- I checked WP:DEPROD, and other than removing the tag, an objector isn't required to do anything else, though it's not a bad idea for them to provide some context for their contesting the deletion. It's also explicitly stated, as I thought, that once a PROD has been removed you shouldn't replace it, so I think AfD was the way to go on this one. Cheers! DonIago (talk) 13:38, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

How can I disable the AutoSign feature? It annoyingly autosigns every non article page I edit.--
- @Tyw7:, If you go to the Preferences link at the top of the page, you'll see a "Signature" section you can simply blank. Then there's nothing to add. I'm not exactly sure why you'd want to have the signature you obviously spent some time crafting not appear on talk pages but if that's happening without using the signature button or the tildes, then you probably have some gadget on one of your script pages.

I am trying to set up the archive navigation and it's counting the header User:Tyw7/Archive header as an archive. How to avoid this?
See User talk:Tyw7/Archive 3 for an example. --
- At a glance there are likely two ways to fix this:
- Wait until you have five archives. Then the "5" should point to the "real" archive 5.
- Rename Archive nav}} template, it looks for pages with a title of "Base/Archive XYZ" and tries some fancy things with the "XYZ" part. When the only pages meeting that pattern are genuine archives, you'll likely not have the "Archive 5" which to me looks like the template's attempt to turn your header page's title into something.

Deletion notifications
I've noticed you leaving messages for users to participate in various AfDs. Just curious what your method is. It doesn't look like you notify everyone in a given discussion (e.g. only select people from the first List of breakfast drinks AfD), but at the same time it doesn't look like the people you are notifying !voted a particular way, so it doesn't seem to be a canvassing thing. Just random selection? Do you keep a running list of who might be interested in what? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:00, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
- Well I just notify those who participated in the first deletion (maybe I missed a few as there was tons of back and forth discussion). But I left a general notification on ping me if you had replied14:04, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
- We do have several mechanisms for deletion discussion notification (delsort, article alerts, the dashboard...). I think you will inevitably get accusations of canvassing like you did just now in the breakfast drink AfD. I'm not saying that's what you're doing, but if you're going to notify people you'll probably want to be careful that you are notifying every participant in a given discussion rather than acting like a bot to randomly select some.

Some notes on process
Regarding Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Education Not for Sale (3rd nomination), I know you had good intentions, but it's not appropriate to close an AfD that you've participated in (or opened yourself). If you want to withdraw the nomination, just strike through your nominating statement with <s>...</s> and state that it's withdrawn. Some admin will eventually come along and officially close it. That may seem a little silly, but it's the standard practice and promotes full transparency.
The other thing I wanted to mention was the DRV you deleted. Again, I'm sure you had good intentions, but we don't do that. Like the AfD, you should have just struck your argument and stated that it was withdrawn. I've gone ahead and done that. Doing it this way leaves a clean record of what happened.
Please don't go back and change anything now; what's done is done. This is just for future reference. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:17, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
I noticed your recent edit to List of breakfast foods does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

- Well technically pizza could be considered a breakfast food as it is eaten at breakfast, commonly I should add. I found quite a few sources saying that pizza is eaten for breakfast. Heck, one source is saying it's healthier than cereal. I was going to revert the reindeer addition but somebody already reverted me previously. Anyway, sorry.

If you look into the reference by Andrew D., then you'll discover that the source does not even support the claim of æbleskiver being notable/common as breakfast in the USA. - So, it's not you, it's just that some a more equal than others. - BTW: I think User:Shadowowl was chased away from WP by DGG (ref. this i.e. 1'st AfD, 2'nd AfD). Well, we've both encountered DDG in very recently times. (like DGG clearly missing the ball here)
-- DexterPointy (talk) 15:28, 30 July 2018 (UTC)- Yeah, he accused me of having bad faith when in fact I didn't make the nomination. And fair enough with the sausage. Also, without access to the book, I can't judge whether Æbleskiver is indeed eaten by others in US. But based on what you said, I'm guessing not. --ping me if you had replied15:34, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
- I have reopened AFD for the same article that GDG closed. See ping me if you had replied16:19, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks. I am doing what I should have done after I stopped reviewing AFC submissions, at least taking a break for 1 year. DGG's closure was not the main reason for this. Northamerica1000 nuked an AFD which was relisted on an article and didn't even bother to remove the unsourced text and the possible fake prizes. That's the straw that broke the camel's back. Northamerica1000 pointed to a guideline which basically says Your hoax article is very welcome on Wikipedia, and you don't even have to reference your wordpress sites!. I could make an article about a non-existent person, source it with Youtube, Facebook or Twitter (totally acceptable according to keepists) and sources that don't mention the subject.

Sam Sailor didn't even look at the comment that someone replaced the sources, and instead ranted about how I don't understand Portuguese.

- (edit conflict) A valid rationale for deletion was not advanced in the nomination. You did not state, for example, anything about notability, or spam, or any of the other qualifying reasons that exist for deletion. See WP:DEL-REASON for examples of valid deletion rationales. Also, you simply discussed the sources in the article in the nomination, but again, did not provide a qualifying reason for deletion. North America1000

WP:Canvassing concerns
I am concerned that your post here comes across as canvassing, based upon you and the user you messaged tending to !vote for deletion in articles, and nothing more. (E.g. "we agree in AfD discussions, so they are likely to agree with my stance regarding the template, so I'll notify them".) Cursory checks have not provided any evidence that DexterPointy has edited or been involved in Template:Neighborhoods of Tel Aviv or participated in discussions regarding the template's content. North America1000 15:16, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
- Did you not see the wider notice at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Valley2city and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jethro_B, et all? The message was neutral and I want to see what others may say. --ping me) 15:18, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
- Still not seeing any evidence that DexterPointy has demonstrated an interest in the topic; you guys agree regarding deletion matters quite a bit; this comes across as canvassing. North America1000 15:20, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

My apologies
Hi Tyw7! I apologize for suddenly dropping you like that on IRC (we were talking in the unblock channel and getting you taken care of). My internet decided to go down, and I just now got re-connected and back up again (thanks, Comcast...). Anyways, I hope you weren't offended or upset that I had suddenly left, and I hope you were able to get help with your IP hard-block :-). Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 12:55, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Maintenance tagging
- And well it is unreferenced since the only reference link is dead (last I checked). And there was a comment on the AFD that the book even did not mention the subject! The more footnotes was made since there are no footnote for the book. So it's hard to know what the hell that reference is trying to support. --ping me) 20:48, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
This addition of {{no footnotes}}
to Vestre Hestlægerhøe, an article you also have nominated for deletion, was wrong, all the article needed was a References section and a {{reflist}}

- I added the no foot note since the foot note all just support the fact that the mountain is in Norway and nothing else. So I'm like, OK the mountain is in Norway.....So? Do you really need three sources to say yes, the mountain is in Norway. --ping me)

Pinging closing admin
- What a coincidence, I was typing a comment on the same topic at User talk:DexterPointy when I was pinged here.
- WP:DROPTHESTICKand don't do anything related to EM for the next 3-4 months. Give that guy a chance, if he is really so bad, and unwilling to improve, let someone else take him to ANI at a later date. Not you, since there will be counter allegations and at worst blocks for both parties. -
- User:Tyw7 yes, as the closing admin said, the BOOMERANG may also deserve short block, you can ask him more at his talk page to elaborate his opinion. -DBigXray 21:16, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
- I can leave Eastmain alone, but he chose to interfere with my CSD of an advertisement with the non-argument if an article exists for long enough, it must be good. I've reverted my accusation, thanks for telling that it was over the limit. » Shadowowl | talk 21:21, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
- Good call in reverting. Calling someone a "Paid promoter" without solid evidence is also enough reason for a block per 21:31, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
- Or take this Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ojas_Eye_Hospital. Even after Eastmain said he cleaned up the promo, it was still G11 material. » Shadowowl | talk 20:11, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
- Note that, I am not taking his side, but can both of us please assume that may be he was just trying his best to actually improve that article but his efforts fell short and there is only so much you can do to improve. I dont always agree with his opinion or comments at AfDs. But he still deserves credits for trying whatever he could and I have seen sometimes he does succeed and rightly so. For everything else there is always a closing admin, ready to CSD, or Deletion review or renominate (after a reasonable gap) (even if it is 4th time. --DBigXray 20:33, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
Sometimes less is more - Friendly advice.
This is readable, whereas that is an information dump (and I'm not even talking about how awfully screwed-up it renders on my screen, which is also true; though such might be related to the "edit conflict" there.).
I don't think you improve people's understanding of texts by overloading them with vast amounts of textual redundancy.

Modifying comments
Just a heads-up but it is generally considered poor form, or even against policy, to do more than basic copy editing of comments except immediately after posting. If there's already been a discussion of those comments (as there was at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IKASI) this is especially true. Let me know if you have any questions by pinging me or leaving a message on my talk page. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:11, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

- (WP:REDACT makes the other person's comment appear stupid or not making any sense. You may edit your comment or even remove it altogether but not after someone else commented on it.

Oxford Brookes University Rugby Football Club
Hi you recently added the deletion discuss of the above page to the deletion sorting for Fraternities and sororities which I think is out of the scope of the project as Fraternities and sororities have nothing to do with UK University sports clubs. Maybe it was an error because anyone watching the category will be specifically interested in Fraternities and sororities. the idea of delsorting is "transcluding AFD discussions in category specific pages, that makes it easier for people find a topic they have knowledge and interest in" and it is better not to send it to categories that are not associated. Just to let you know I undid this addition. cheers --Dom from Paris (talk) 10:08, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Children's books AfDs
Hi there. I've noticed you've nominated three books in the Edge Chronicles series for deletion. I think two of them are notable and have been or will be kept, while the the third was redirected to the series. Since AfD is not clean-up could I suggest that if you plan to continue work in this area you try and redirect pages that your BEFORE suggest aren't notable to the series article rather than AfD? Alternatively, you could reach out to myself or one of the other people who work in this area to ask about notability prior to nomination. Not watching so please ping me in any response. Thanks and Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:09, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
- Barkeep49, well I did a BEFORE search and couldn't find any notable sources there. That's why I opted to AFD in case somebody has offline sources that prove otherwise.
- And you can take articles to AFD to get a redirect vote. Secondly, the articles had remained reference less for a long time. --ping me) 19:39, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Tyw7: One can and I in fact do take articles whose outcome I think should be redirect to AfD - but only after trying a redirect and seeing if it sticks. My guess is that in these cases it would. As to the sources, I certainly under why your BEFORE for Freeglader came up empty - while my sources are online they are behind a paywall. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:47, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

- I am not familiar with Looking Glass Review so I don't know whether it's RS (many online review sites are not) but would suggest that the length of review provided there is normally considered substantial in children's book AfDs. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:54, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
- Barkeep49, the critieria says " "Non-trivial" excludes personal websites, blogs, bulletin boards, Usenet posts, wikis and other media that are not themselves reliable. An analysis of the manner of treatment is crucial as well; Slashdot.org for example is reliable, but postings to that site by members of the public on a subject do not share the site's imprimatur. Be careful to check that the author, publisher, agent, vendor. etc. of a particular book are in no way interested in any third party source."

Airline notability
Just to let you know that I consider that actually operating a scheduled service makes them noteworthy, it is unlikely that that would happen without it being reported somewhere. Its just the hurdle I use to consider if these airlines are worth including. I have to say a lot of these airlines dont make it that far for various reasons so are not really noteworthy for inclusion. MilborneOne (talk) 16:56, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Rocket stubs
- I had no idea when you stated "what do you suggest doing then? There's a ton of stub articles on the Nike rocket family." that there were "literally" that many, also involving many different rocket articles.
- I have begun to review and tag many, especially 1.5KS35000 and 1.9KS2150. A main problem I have is that many of these "articles" are just entries from Encyclopedia Astronautica (example: Malemute) that is many times the only source so there are clear notability issues. I have no idea how large a problem this actually is because I think I have been largely only working with sounding rockets so far. Otr500 (talk) 11:13, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Nomination for Kevin Falk page for delation
Hello! Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Your the expert on if a page should be deleted or not. I will say that people still quite often get in touch with me from this page. Both bands mentioned here that I played in are still very much active. I was only trying to add a picture to it because there is also an adult actor with the same name and his picture was showing up when you googled my full name, Kevin Andrew Falk. I'm in the middle of a job hunt as we just moved to New Zealand so I didn't want potential employers to get confused with that adult actors picture instead of me.
Hopefully, this was informative.
I would prefer the page remain up. Thank you! -Kevin

- The page was "soft deleted" meaning the deletion can be reversed on request. However, to do things properly, one of you should formally request undeletion at WP:REFUND.
- If it turns out that I am the admin who handles the request (possible), I am likely to restore it but move it to the draft namespace as the article is very light on references and has been tagged as such since 2010.

nominating on behalf of IP addresses
Why are you nominating things for deletion on behalf of a single purpose IP address? The people showing up to vote delete are banned sockpuppets, so the IP address used to get you to nominate things probably is as well. I don't see any reason why an IP address with no previous edits should ever be allowed to send nominate things for deletion. If the software keeps them from doing it themselves, there is a reason for that, you shouldn't do it for them. Dream Focus 05:55, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Deletion of Wayne Doty entry
Hi there
I got here after searching the name of a person who was the subject of a Netflix Special program. His name is Wayne Doty, and he’s a convicted double murderer awaiting execution on Florida’s death row. Not a nice individual.
I searched him up because I wanted to see if he’s still alive. I see that you’ve tagged his Wikipedia page for deletion because he’s not a notable person.
I disagree with this assertion. I think that anyone who has an hour-long Netflix special made about him is notable enough to have a Wikipedia entry. Not as notable as Stevie Wonder or Ghengis Khan, but surely a little bit notable. In addition, Doty is interesting to legal scholars because of his attempts to hasten his own execution and his rejection of legal counsel while doing so.
I respectfully submit that the deletion request for that Wikipedia page should be retracted.
Thanks Nik

Broken archive box
This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can , contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse. |
My archive box seem to be broken. It does not show archive 3. --
- You've been around for a long time, so I'll overlook how squirrely your setup is.
- Your archive box is working exactly as it was designed to work, but it may have design aspects you are not aware of. In particular, you have a file named User talk:Tyw7/archivelist which is picked up automatically by the archive template and used instead of any automated search for your actual archive pages. As it says in the template doc:
If a subpage called "{{PAGENAME}}/archivelist" exists, it will be used as the central content of the box.
- This gives you a few options. Perhaps the easiest is to ask for that file to be deleted. The indexer is picking up all of your archives automatically, so if this file goes away, I expect the archives template will also find them. You will lose the customized naming you had set up, but I think that would be a good thing.
- But if you disagree with it being a good idea, all you have to do is update the file with your new renaming scheme to include the new archive 3. And remember to update it in the future when the bot starts a new archive. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 06:15, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
