Welcome A.WagnerC to your New Page Patrol School page! Every person I instruct will have their own page on which I will give them support and tasks for them to complete. Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist (I have done so already). Your NPP School page has been specifically designed according to you and what you have requested instruction in - for that reason, please be as specific as possible when under my instruction, so that I know the best ways to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working). I know that you said in the email on my talkpage that you feel you have a grasp of many the core policies, such as RS and NPOV. That's a very good start, and will help us move quickly through some areas. And that you would like to work on your knowledge of notability and deletion. While in doing NPP you do have to understand the different forms of deletion and where and when to use them, so this will definitely help you in that area, and of course, one of the foundational concepts we use in reviewing is notability, so you will be well served in that area as well.
Make sure you read through Wikipedia:Notability as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.
This page will be built up over your time in the Academy, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might just ask a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide diffs to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them. Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page. I will normally try and put assignments in bold though follow-up question will just use normal Wikipedia conversation methods. Let me know at any point if you have questions.
The first thing is to read, really read, WP:NPP and then let me know what you think are the two or three parts of that you feel your skills are the strongest and two or three where you could still grow.

Answer: Notability is an essential requirement for the entry to have a Wikipedia article. There are two kinds of notobility: general (GNG) and thematic (SNG). The general requires the following criteria, cumulatively: independent sources, reliable sources and significant coverage. If the entry meets these requirements, it is assumed that it is notorious. Regarding to thematic notability, it has some specific requirements for notability. These requirements are often similar to the general ones, but there are themes that carry different requirements. ✍A.WagnerC ( talk) 02:52, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
Answer: Usually not because it meets WP:NOTGUIDE. ✍A.WagnerC ( talk) 02:52, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
Answer: GNG applies to all themes; SNG to specific themes. First, I think it is more important to check if the article meets the GNG. If it do, it has notoriety. If it does not meet the GNG, it starts to analyse if it complies with the SNG. First see GNG, later SNG. ✍A.WagnerC ( talk) 02:52, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. His creative period spanned more than 70 years. He works includes The Guggenheim, swirling, snail-shaped museum in the middle of Manhattan. [1] [2] Fallingwater, which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture." [3] This is one of Wright's most famous private residences (completed 1937), was built for Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., at Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Constructed over a 30-foot waterfall, it was designed according to Wright's desire to place the occupants close to the natural surroundings. The house was intended to be more of a family getaway, rather than a live-in home. [4]

Please read WP:TITLE and answer the questions below
1. Article name "Hannibal Barca" - Does the article name need to be change? and Why? (please explain based on Wikipedia guidelines and name/link the guidelines in your answer)
Hannibal Barca was a Carthaginian general and statesman who is widely considered one of the greatest military commanders in history. His father, Hamilcar Barca, was a leading Carthaginian commander during the First Punic War (264–241 BC). [1] [2] [3]
References
Answer: Difficult question. I will give my opinion about it but I believe that there would be room for a debate. The fonts present in the article very much use the name "Hannibal" without the surname "Barca". Then, in a first analysis, it should be called Hannibal. But researching the Hannibal name on the Internet, I noticed a lot of trouble finding content about the General. But in WP:COMMONNAME is also cited: "Ambiguous or inaccurate names for the article subject, as determined in reliable sources, are often avoided even though they may be more frequently used by reliable sources." Thus, to avoid disambiguations, to facilitate research, I would also consider the use of "Hannibal Barca". ✍A.WagnerC ( talk) 18:11, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
2. Article name "Magic Johnson". Does the article name need to be change? and Why?(please explain based on Wikipedia guidelines and name/link the guidelines in your answer)

References
Answer: Magic Johnson is worldwide known by this nickname. I don't see plausible reasons for changing the title name, as WP:COMMONNAME. I also did not notice any problems with disambiguations in relation to this nickname. ✍A.WagnerC ( talk) 18:11, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Answer: On WP:COICOIN page, there are guidelines on how to handle with editors in that situation. The first step is to contact the editor him/herself. On the page, there is guidance on how this contact should be made. There are some templates to be used in the article and also on the user talk page. ✍A.WagnerC ( talk) 12:47, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, and have addressed the UPE/COI issue, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. As per WP policy, please do not move into mainspace yourself.""Answer: According to WP:COICOIN, you should, at first, contact the editor via the talk page. Twinkle and RedWarn have templates about it. If unsuccessful or if for some reason it is no longer advisable to contact the editor on their talk page, it's possible to open a request at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. ✍A.WagnerC ( talk) 14:52, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
For each of the following prompts, identify how likely it is that the described behavior is COI or PAID editing (not COI/unlikely/possible/likely/very likely), as well as what measures would be appropriate to take (both in terms of messages sent to the involved editors and whether to approve/delete/draftify/tag the article). Don't assume any information about the scenarios beyond what is written: if you feel like you would need additional information to provide a proper answer, describe the various outcomes you would consider based on additional hypothetical evidence.

Welcome A.WagnerC to your New Page Patrol School page! Every person I instruct will have their own page on which I will give them support and tasks for them to complete. Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist (I have done so already). Your NPP School page has been specifically designed according to you and what you have requested instruction in - for that reason, please be as specific as possible when under my instruction, so that I know the best ways to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working). I know that you said in the email on my talkpage that you feel you have a grasp of many the core policies, such as RS and NPOV. That's a very good start, and will help us move quickly through some areas. And that you would like to work on your knowledge of notability and deletion. While in doing NPP you do have to understand the different forms of deletion and where and when to use them, so this will definitely help you in that area, and of course, one of the foundational concepts we use in reviewing is notability, so you will be well served in that area as well.
Make sure you read through Wikipedia:Notability as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.
This page will be built up over your time in the Academy, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might just ask a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide diffs to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them. Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page. I will normally try and put assignments in bold though follow-up question will just use normal Wikipedia conversation methods. Let me know at any point if you have questions.
The first thing is to read, really read, WP:NPP and then let me know what you think are the two or three parts of that you feel your skills are the strongest and two or three where you could still grow.

Answer: Notability is an essential requirement for the entry to have a Wikipedia article. There are two kinds of notobility: general (GNG) and thematic (SNG). The general requires the following criteria, cumulatively: independent sources, reliable sources and significant coverage. If the entry meets these requirements, it is assumed that it is notorious. Regarding to thematic notability, it has some specific requirements for notability. These requirements are often similar to the general ones, but there are themes that carry different requirements. ✍A.WagnerC ( talk) 02:52, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
Answer: Usually not because it meets WP:NOTGUIDE. ✍A.WagnerC ( talk) 02:52, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
Answer: GNG applies to all themes; SNG to specific themes. First, I think it is more important to check if the article meets the GNG. If it do, it has notoriety. If it does not meet the GNG, it starts to analyse if it complies with the SNG. First see GNG, later SNG. ✍A.WagnerC ( talk) 02:52, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. His creative period spanned more than 70 years. He works includes The Guggenheim, swirling, snail-shaped museum in the middle of Manhattan. [1] [2] Fallingwater, which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture." [3] This is one of Wright's most famous private residences (completed 1937), was built for Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., at Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Constructed over a 30-foot waterfall, it was designed according to Wright's desire to place the occupants close to the natural surroundings. The house was intended to be more of a family getaway, rather than a live-in home. [4]

Please read WP:TITLE and answer the questions below
1. Article name "Hannibal Barca" - Does the article name need to be change? and Why? (please explain based on Wikipedia guidelines and name/link the guidelines in your answer)
Hannibal Barca was a Carthaginian general and statesman who is widely considered one of the greatest military commanders in history. His father, Hamilcar Barca, was a leading Carthaginian commander during the First Punic War (264–241 BC). [1] [2] [3]
References
Answer: Difficult question. I will give my opinion about it but I believe that there would be room for a debate. The fonts present in the article very much use the name "Hannibal" without the surname "Barca". Then, in a first analysis, it should be called Hannibal. But researching the Hannibal name on the Internet, I noticed a lot of trouble finding content about the General. But in WP:COMMONNAME is also cited: "Ambiguous or inaccurate names for the article subject, as determined in reliable sources, are often avoided even though they may be more frequently used by reliable sources." Thus, to avoid disambiguations, to facilitate research, I would also consider the use of "Hannibal Barca". ✍A.WagnerC ( talk) 18:11, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Answer: Magic Johnson is worldwide known by this nickname. I don't see plausible reasons for changing the title name, as WP:COMMONNAME. I also did not notice any problems with disambiguations in relation to this nickname. ✍A.WagnerC ( talk) 18:11, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Reply: Looks like a snippet from a court case or a lawyer's petition. The article also brings a value judgment " that officer could not, by virtue of his writ, lawfully take the property from the possession of a third person". A11 or Custom rationale using {{db}} template. In the latter, I would explain that the content of the article is not encyclopedic. ✍A.WagnerC ( talk) 14:16, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, and have addressed the UPE/COI issue, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

For each of the following prompts, identify how likely it is that the described behavior is COI or PAID editing (not COI/unlikely/possible/likely/very likely), as well as what measures would be appropriate to take (both in terms of messages sent to the involved editors and whether to approve/delete/draftify/tag the article). Don't assume any information about the scenarios beyond what is written: if you feel like you would need additional information to provide a proper answer, describe the various outcomes you would consider based on additional hypothetical evidence.
