Hi 78.26,
The outcome of the AFD discussion was delete, but the article is still live in mainspace, with no deletion recorded in its history.
Anna Lindström (musician) has been tagged for
WP:G4, but as it hasn't actually been deleted, technically that criterion doesn't apply.

My interest in Joe Belmont was somewhat peripheral to my interests in birds and ornithology and I found that bird impressionism as a performing art was an extinct form with several popular names including Charles_Kellogg_(naturalist), Edward Avis, Percy Edwards, and Charles Crawford Gorst. Oddly, we do not have a specific category for these artists. I look forward to see your improvements to the article on a little-known talents from another age (one reason why it sold in the past was apparently that whistles recorded and replayed with better fidelity than voice with the early technology).

Hey 78.26, I saw that the page for We Were Here series was deleted. I had actually been intending to rework it since it was not the highest quality - you said in the talk page that you could restore it to a sandbox state on request? I'm not an expert wikipedian so I hope this is the right place to ask! I was thinking of only making a page for We Were Here Too, since it has more sources as a commercial game rather than a free product like the original. Tgoodfellow ( talk) 09:40, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

I've had a discussion with Chubbles about determining notability of record labels. He referred to a link of a discussion, which I read. I disagree that having notable musicians on a label makes the label notable. I disagree that notability is inherited. I disagree that WP:Music should be used for a label's notability rather than WP:Corp. It benefits no one to bring in standards outside Wikipedia to judge articles when Wikipedia's rules themselves are sufficient and sufficiently complex to get the job done. It benefits no one to abstract from the situation, to open a philosophical discussion about the nature of importance, prominence, and cultural significance, which in turn will lead to greater web-like entanglements, debate, and confusion. All we need to know is in the particulars. There's no need to be make notability more complicated.
Chubbles has an agenda. Wikipedia isn't supposed to have them. The more we stretch definitions to suit our preferences and interests, the less accurate those definitions become, and the less useful Wikipedia becomes.
I've seen many people decorate their pages with work "they" have done. I use quotation marks because there's no such thing as private property on Wikipedia. No one owns an article. No one person is responsible for an article. Wikipedia is a collective effort. Anyone can change any article, and anyone will. Having a list of articles "I created" or "I worked on" is a stone's throw from "My articles", which they are not, as the documentation states. It isn't "your work", and even if it were, it's a good life lesson and a hard one to accept that one's work can be erased at any time for any reason. But I find it an unavoidable truth. To try to avoid it is to stick one's head in the sand. We're not building a cathedral here that will last for generations. Everything on the internet is ephemeral and could disappear tomorrow. The more ephemeral the content, the easier it will be to wipe away. The more ephemeral the content, the less credible Wikipedia is. The job of an editor is to be more discriminating, not less.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2018).
I need your advice about what title to use for a new article. I have just begun work on User:Teblick/Stan Jones (actor, born 1914) tonight. Wikipedia already has an article, Stan Jones (actor), about an actor by that name who was born in Canada, whereas the one I'm writing about was born in Arizona. I considered using "Stan Jones (American-born actor)", but I've read some discussions recently about "American" having a broader concept than the United States. I decided to use the birth year just so that I could start work. He also wrote some songs, so another possibility would be "Stan Jones (actor-songwriter)". What are your thoughts?

Hello! I hope this will reach you, regarding the deletion of the page for the article Richard J. Marks, in which it was suggested by two editors that userfy would be recommended. Therefore, I read the notes again carefully, and through my reading of it, may have a solution. (The debate re: articles written *about* him was as a journalist. However, Wikipedia has a lot of pages for film producers and directors, in which just credits are listed. The film product is the reference for notability.) Marks is IS notable as a film Producer. He is listed clearly in the credits as Producer, in at least three publicly released short films/TV about key renewable energy and/or China convenings with interesting contexts: 1. Producer: LinkTV https://archive.org/details/linktv_earth20081114 (Time Code 25:30) 2. Producer: The State of Renewable Energy Finance” -- https://player.vimeo.com/video/133473382 (Time Code 7:41) 3. Producer: "WIREC: Washington International Renewable Energy Conference" -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxu1YDNI7k4 (Time Code: 8:00). I would like to propose moving the article back into Mainspace, with Marks listed, more simply, as a Producer of environmentally-oriented films, using those links above. That would solve the problem of the lack of print articles about him -- as a journalist -- at this point in time. It would give others a chance to benefit from his contributions. The opening may be rewritten: "Marks is the Producer of film narratives that provide environmental solutions and leadership voices, in the United States and China. Thanks so much. Lettucecup ( talk) 15:53, 28 August 2018 (UTC)Lettucecup Here is the link: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Richard_J._Marks
@ 78.26: Thank you for your fast reply. Super nice, and helpful. Let me try to state this another way. When someone is a notable film Producer, that person is listed in the film's credits. The film (the final product) may or may not be written about in the news. (For just one example, Walter Wagner was a producer [ [5]] ... in which the WP page lists a few print sources and IMDB).
Here are three existing credits for Marks here as a list; please see if you believe this to be adequate crediting for the article to stand for a Producer. They are listed where credits are always listed: in the actual films (noted with Time Codes).
1. Producer: LinkTV https://archive.org/details/linktv_earth20081114 (Time Code 25:30)
2. Producer: The State of Renewable Energy Finance” -- https://player.vimeo.com/video/133473382 (Time Code 7:41)
3. Producer: "WIREC: Washington International Renewable Energy Conference" -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxu1YDNI7k4 (Time Code: 8:00).
Separately/Additionally, there are are legitimate additional references that caused the Wikipedia "consensus" to have some problems, specifically in terms of citing Marks as a "convener")
... which is why I am proposing we use just the three CREDITS above (1, 2 and 3).
Those print articles are for his convening activities, not films:
4. Marks is listed in the Atlantic Monthly by Dr. William Haseltine, link: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2010/05/the-green-salon-water-and-life/57265/ ... as follows:
"Richard Marks, the next speaker, specializes in energy, education, and environmental issue. Currently, he consults for the US Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy."
"The New York Salon was organized by Nora Maccoby-Hathaway, Mara Haseltine and Richard Marks, the same three who organized the Washington meetings. The salon was co-hosted by the New York Academy of Sciences. The Waterkeeper Alliance, the Agnes B Tara Oceans Project, the Stella Group, STAR ISLAND, the Stella Group, and Urban Assembly, New York Harbor School were also represented."
5. Print and online editions of China Daily by Fu Jing, 8-11-2008: http://www.productions1000.com/voicesofchange_chinadaily.pdf
6. Newsweek by Jonathan Ansfield, 7-28-2008: http://www.productions1000.com/qa_greenforumnotsogreengames.pdf
Lastly, while it is known and verified that Marks was an accredited broadcast journalist (CNN, National Geographic, and Productions 1000), unfortunately, Broadcast Journalists are not written about in print.
Thus, the solution I am proposing is to use just the film credits (1, 2 and 3 above) as valid notablity as a film Producer (only) of environmental content, so that the Wikipedia article can stand and exist. Thank you again. I hope this effort is worth it. Lettucecup ( talk) 20:48, 28 August 2018 (UTC)Lettucecup
@ 78.26:Thank you. I totally get it. I contacted the subject of this article about a month ago, when all this came up regarding the references (China in particular) to try to obtain more written references. I have to will come back to you at the time in which he has obtained what you are seeking. Notability isn't the problem, as you and the original editor who approved this, have stated. It is about the quality/depth of the independent references, and Marks is well aware that we need articles with enough substance to move this back in. Have a nice evening.

The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:
During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

.Hello, I was the nominator of List of surviving veterans of the Spanish Civil War for deletion. Respectfully, I don't feel it was closed as no consensus fairly and the article should have been deleted. All eight delete voters gave well reasoned policy based reasons for deletion in their arguments and that is certainly not what the keep voters did. Here is a break down of the issues with the keep voters' arguments:
Nate (Mrschimpf): Nate's whole argument consisted of trashing and making demands of the nominator, and making provably false claims such as that their is adequate sourcing in the article when most sources are older then the maximum on longevity pages age of one year (which is longstanding consensus) and new sources can't be found for five of eight individuals. He also made the false claim that we have similar articles to this, for all surviving veterans of a war, which we don't. There was nothing of substance in his argument.
Wikimandia: For starters, he endorsed Nate's worthless argument. The rest of his argument was doubting there is a fanbase for this articles content, when there always has been as explained by DerbycountyinNZ. You can also see this fan base in action by looking at threads about these veterans on the 110 club website, where people like to ruminate about things like when will the last of these vets die and who is still living. There was nothing policy based about why this article should stay on Wikipedia or how it meets any policies or guidelines.
Czolgolz: His argument was the article has been maintained for over a decade and there used to be a similar article for the vastly more prominent First World War. He also admitted these vets are all obscure people and falsely claimed that it is not the consensus on longevity pages that people must be removed if they don't have a reliable source demonstrating they were alive up to one year ago, when it is the longstanding consensus. No one bothered to enforce it on this particular page, but it is still the policy that was supposed to be followed. Nothing he said was accurately policy based or even addressed to how this article meets Wikipedia polices, like WP:BLP, WP:TOOSOON, WP:LISTN, WP:SIGCOV etc.
NukeThePukes: His entire argument consisted of trashing the nominator and making provable false claims, such as that their are not at least hundreds and possibly thousands of vets left, when there are, and that we currently have other individual articles (that means solely dedicated to one war) dedicated to all surviving war vets of other conflicts, which we don't. There was no substance whatsoever in his argument, only noise.
Drunk in Paris: They endorsed Nate's worthless comment and said this was another longevity article that should never have been nominated for deletion. I had recently AfD another article [1] which he also wanted to keep and he likely read the keep comments here trashing me and just took it at face value that this article must be fine and the nominator is wrong. No one as yet had voted for deletion. There was nothing policy based in his argument or the argument he referenced.
208.54.87.254: He endorsed NukeThePukes' argument, which as I explained above had unequivocally zero substance whatsoever in it. After I pointed this out, he said Mrschimpf and Czolgolz had good points too, only as I explained here they didn't. Also, the fact that this person thought NukeThePukes' garbage comment was a great argument demonstrates this person's opinion is objectively not worth listening too. They literally endorsed the worst comments on the AfD thread.
Into the Rift: Endorsed Nate's worthless argument and said WP:IDONTLIKEIT is not a reason for deletion, when no one said it was. They completely ignored the policy based arguments all nine who wanted to delete the article put forth and used the excuse the nominator sucks so this article must stay. There is nothing of substance about the article in this argument, so it is worthless.
I do not understand how you saw this as 50/50 no consensus; all of the policy based arguments for deletion and all of the provably substance free arguments to keep that overwhelming consisted of trashing the nominator and making provably false claims were not equal. As explained in the delete votes, this article needs to be deleted for many different policy based reasons. Is there a way we can rectify this without going to appeal? For some background, I have been aware of this article for many years and didn't just stumble upon it and try to get rid of it out of spite. I was an active reader years before I ever started editing myself (mainly on longevity articles), which is why I knew that there used to be an accompanying suite of articles on deaths of Spanish Civil War veterans by year that all got deleted years ago. The keep voters started a WP:IDONTLIKEIT lynch mob against me, which par for the discussion was substance free on their part. Sincerely, Newshunter12 ( talk) 14:59, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello 78.26 I was pleasantly surprised to read your article on John Murray. He was the great great grandfather of my mother Rita Murray. I've been researching this man for many years and collected material on his anti-slavery activities and his employment as an engineer and later collector with the Forth and Clyde Canal Company.
My main reason for contacting you relates to the section of your article Other Activism, reference points 15 & 16 the Memoir of Annie Struthers, which appears to be an unpublished document c.1885? I've searched on Google and can't find anything on it. I gather you've seen it so I was wondering if you could give me information about the location/owner of it.
From my Murray family records I know that John Murray's wife Anne Thomson had a sister Margaret Stewart and one of her daughters (Annie) married a Thomas Struthers. That could be the connection to John Murray in the memoir.
I have additional information on John Murray and a photo of a portrait of him that could be added to your article, if you thought it OK.

What is your research level about his lifestyle??? Absolutely zero!!! Deleting articles by those who are unaware of the topic should be counted wrong and i will write that you dont have right to decide about the article which subject is not fimilar for you. No need of deletion, if something is wrong can be solved out on talk page! Even no deletion contest time??? Really sad!

https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/323508509 There is actually another copy, freely licensed by the Thailand Ministry of Defense's Drug Rehabilitation Center and Career Training Schools photostream at https://www.flickr.com/photos/157145480@N04/43090777230 and that photostream shows several photos that include this person. The photostream contains several duplicates of which most are low resolution images that seem to be photographs or scans of hardcopy photos, but other digital photos are of a higher resolution. The photostream this image came from, which may be her personal user account, shows several of the identical images as those by the Thailand Ministry of Defense's Drug Rehabilitation Center and Career Training Schools. Personally I'll COM:AGF on this unless you know otherwise. Ww2censor ( talk) 16:43, 10 October 2018 (UTC) 2403:6200:88A6:F115:91B4:AD95:C6ED:9E75 00:55, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi 78.26, would you consider running for ArbCom? You are a neutral, sensible, well-liked administrator. Please consider running if you are able. The deadline for self-nominations is in a few days. Thank you, Softlavender ( talk) 11:36, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
@ Softlavender:@ Vanamonde93: I thought it fair to inform you I won't be running this year, although I did consider it. The most important reason is that there are at least six current candidates I can wholeheartedly support. The other is that I took a look at the questions people were asking the candidates, and I don't have enough time to thoroughly research them before submitting a candidacy. It took me nearly a year to take the RfA plunge, and I don't feel prepared yet for this. I am not ruling out running next year, or in the future, but I don't think this is the right year for me.

Since you chastised me for criticizing someone on a Talk page as an example of abuse, I've had an eye out for it. I'm astonished at how often I have been insulted without my having initiated an insult. Now it's true that some people hate change and hate bold editors. It's easier just to go with the flow and keep the wheels spinning. But I doubt you can look at the Talk Page for
Baby, It's Cold Outside and think this is how Wikipedia is supposed to work. Every year this song gets dragged into the gutter by impulsive people who think Wikipedia is a newspaper or a TV program or Facebook and who want to make it controversial. So two problems: the content on the page, and user's persistent insults toward me on that article's talk page. I'm reaching the limits of my patience with some of these people. If you indulge them, you make things worse for everyone, and I'm not going to do that. I try to take a wider view. I'm not concerned with the hurt feelings of a small group of people who either can't or won't follow the rules. I don't know what the penalty is for insulting people, so I don't know what recourse you have, but in some cases these people ought not to be editors. Why do we assume everyone can be an editor? They can't.

Hey, I saw you just set pork roll so only autoconfirmed editors can move it. I was just thinking about move-protecting it, too. However, I think you'd have to make it "extended confirmed" or "sysop" for it to be meaningful because anyone who can move the page is already guaranteed to be autoconfirmed.

Hi there 78.26,
I'm a newbie so forgive any forthcoming ignorance (of which I'm sure there will be a lot). In short, I attempted to start a page for an actor named Parveen Kaur but it was deleted a few months back. I still don't fully understand why (as she is very clearly a real person) but am now revisiting it as I've seen new interviews with her online so there are more / new references available for the article. Right now there is a glaring mistake on Google when searching for "Parveen Kaur" as there is no Wikipedia page for her. There is one for another Parveen Kaur (an actor in India) and the search results are mixing the two together. I think that her having a dedicated Wikipedia page will remedy this inaccuracy.
Please let me know what you think and how I should proceed. Thanks a lot for your time.
BrixtonTown ( talk) 22:19, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the quick reply 78.26. Yes that is her and yes that draft is similar although not the one I made which was deleted. I will try to read / understand those links you sent me thank you very much. But in the meantime, here are 3 new links: https://meaww.com/manifest-star-parveen-kaur-diversity-stereotype-women-entertainment-industry, https://www.byrdie.com/amp/parveen-kaur-skincare-tips, https://bellanyc.com/get-to-know-parveen-kaur-star-of-nbc-new-hit-show-manifest/. None of these are PR or sent from NBC or from IMDB (which I think was part of the problem last time). What do you think? Thx again!
Hi there 78.26. Just a quick follow up here. Did you get a chance to look at those new links? Thanks so much. BrixtonTown ( talk) 23:08, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
No problem 78.26 totally understand. Hmm, well I've come across two more links that you can see here. They are both interviews: http://www.runwaybeauty.com/download/Runway2018Fall.pdf, https://www.thetealmango.com/entertainment/parveen-kaur-star-nbcs-latest-mystery-manifest/amp/. I think I'm understanding what is meant by notability requirements but don't we get to a place where fixing an inaccuracy is more important than nailing the notability thing? I also don't know how highly-read these magazines are either but does someone really need to be in Vogue to pass? Especially considering that there are other actors on the same show who have Wikipedia pages with the same level as or even less references to pass these notability requirements. It's just strange to me that we'd prefer to have a dead link on the Manifest (TV Series) page and incorrect information on Google results just because of this notability thing. She's clearly a real person and a "notable" person. Or am I mistaken? Please let me know. Thanks a lot. BrixtonTown ( talk) 16:30, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

The Cleanup Listing for Wikiproject Jazz comes out every Tuesday. EddieHugh had an excellent week of work. But there are some articles on today's listing that puzzled me.
Unless I'm mistaken, which is possible, an experienced editor created these articles. All of them contain one line and an infobox with one entry. Is this standard procedure? These contrast starkly with the work EddieHugh has done. I helped, but he has more experience. I'm not going to speak for him, but he probably would like an explanation for these articles, too. Obviously I do. I hear a lot complaining across Wikipedia about retaining editors. Instead of looking for more people, why not shrink Wikipedia? Why not clean up the junk? Why not examine current editors to make sure they are not creating needless work? During the past year, I can't help coming to the conclusion that there are people who believe creating an article, any article, is morally superior to deleting one. To achieve... what? points of some kind according to how many articles one has created or Saved from deletion (Amen). I tried to address someone on this point, but he got annoyed by my questions. Would you comment on both points? These articles, one, and an obsessive-compulsive desire to create articles (and "save" them from being deleted) as part of some kind of moral or religious crusade. Thanks. My interest is in seeing Wikipedia make progress.

I came across a redlink, to Ron Brown (writer). Bearcat nominated the article for deletion. Only one contributor endorsed the nomination. Your closure was for a soft deletion.
Bearcat's nomination asserted all the references were to Brown's own site. Bearcat and I have disagreed on how much effort a nominator should make, to comply with WP:BEFORE, in order to make claims that there are no good references. This is an instance where, in my opinion, he was too ready to claim there were no references, when 30 seconds with google came up with several.
Are these references sufficient to establish notability? I dunno. So I request userification. Talk page too, if it is not too much trouble.
While the references I found may not be sufficient to establish notability, in my opinion they definitely should have precluded the nomination stating all existing references were to his own website. Geo Swan ( talk) 18:53, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I am new to wikipedia from the submission/publishing side. Last November 29th, 2017 I submitted for the subject header biography. Kaspare is the patriarch of the family business for which I work. I received an email response indicating that I would not get a response for four weeks and I got buried at work with higher-priority topics. I didn't realize that I'd received an email response in my account because I thought that I would get an email when the article was published. I'd like to add new information but my submission has been understandably deleted because of six months passing. References to Kaspare are peppered across wikipedia and wikipedia istself has several "empty references" to Kaspare at " /info/en/?search=MUFG_Union_Bank" and " https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia:New_user_landing_page&page=Kaspare+Cohn" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisbutanyway ( talk • contribs) 00:00, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
How do I submit a conflict of interest? I have no familial relationship to Kaspare but work at a family office, HFH Ltd., of Kaspare. www.hfhltd.com. Is there some manner in which I can respond directly to someone?

My interest in Joe Belmont was somewhat peripheral to my interests in birds and ornithology and I found that bird impressionism as a performing art was an extinct form with several popular names including Charles_Kellogg_(naturalist), Edward Avis, Percy Edwards, and Charles Crawford Gorst. Oddly, we do not have a specific category for these artists.

I've had a discussion with Chubbles about determining notability of record labels. He referred to a link of a discussion, which I read. I disagree that having notable musicians on a label makes the label notable. I disagree that notability is inherited. I disagree that WP:Music should be used for a label's notability rather than WP:Corp. It benefits no one to bring in standards outside Wikipedia to judge articles when Wikipedia's rules themselves are sufficient and sufficiently complex to get the job done. It benefits no one to abstract from the situation, to open a philosophical discussion about the nature of importance, prominence, and cultural significance, which in turn will lead to greater web-like entanglements, debate, and confusion. All we need to know is in the particulars. There's no need to be make notability more complicated.
Chubbles has an agenda. Wikipedia isn't supposed to have them. The more we stretch definitions to suit our preferences and interests, the less accurate those definitions become, and the less useful Wikipedia becomes.
I've seen many people decorate their pages with work "they" have done. I use quotation marks because there's no such thing as private property on Wikipedia. No one owns an article. No one person is responsible for an article. Wikipedia is a collective effort. Anyone can change any article, and anyone will. Having a list of articles "I created" or "I worked on" is a stone's throw from "My articles", which they are not, as the documentation states. It isn't "your work", and even if it were, it's a good life lesson and a hard one to accept that one's work can be erased at any time for any reason. But I find it an unavoidable truth. To try to avoid it is to stick one's head in the sand. We're not building a cathedral here that will last for generations. Everything on the internet is ephemeral and could disappear tomorrow. The more ephemeral the content, the easier it will be to wipe away. The more ephemeral the content, the less credible Wikipedia is. The job of an editor is to be more discriminating, not less.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2018).
I need your advice about what title to use for a new article. I have just begun work on User:Teblick/Stan Jones (actor, born 1914) tonight. Wikipedia already has an article, Stan Jones (actor), about an actor by that name who was born in Canada, whereas the one I'm writing about was born in Arizona. I considered using "Stan Jones (American-born actor)", but I've read some discussions recently about "American" having a broader concept than the United States. I decided to use the birth year just so that I could start work. He also wrote some songs, so another possibility would be "Stan Jones (actor-songwriter)". What are your thoughts?

I am still cleaning up the Samuel May Williams article. Do you have any interest in evaluating the article when I have finished? Cheers, Oldsanfelipe ( talk) 20:56, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
On 23 August 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Lydia May Ames, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Lydia May Ames, one of Cleveland's earliest women artists, is sometimes considered its first impressionist painter? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Lydia May Ames. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Lydia May Ames), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Ciao 78.26 - Whenever time allows, kind review Draft:Seventh Army Symphony Orchestra for a move to Mainspace. The article documents the historic creation of the U.S. Army's only symphonic orchestra in support of American's cultural diplomacy initiatives in the aftermath of World War II, under the musical direction of the noted american composer/conductor Samuel Adler. Many thanks in advance for your thoughtful assistance and I hope that you enjoy the article. 2620:65:8000:A203:9DA1:393C:E5B0:2571 ( talk) 19:47, 26 August 2018 (UTC)GCU P.S.

Hello! I hope this will reach you, regarding the deletion of the page for the article Richard J. Marks, in which it was suggested by two editors that userfy would be recommended. Therefore, I read the notes again carefully, and through my reading of it, may have a solution. (The debate re: articles written *about* him was as a journalist. However, Wikipedia has a lot of pages for film producers and directors, in which just credits are listed. The film product is the reference for notability.) Marks is IS notable as a film Producer. He is listed clearly in the credits as Producer, in at least three publicly released short films/TV about key renewable energy and/or China convenings with interesting contexts: 1. Producer: LinkTV https://archive.org/details/linktv_earth20081114 (Time Code 25:30) 2. Producer: The State of Renewable Energy Finance” -- https://player.vimeo.com/video/133473382 (Time Code 7:41) 3. Producer: "WIREC: Washington International Renewable Energy Conference" -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxu1YDNI7k4 (Time Code: 8:00). I would like to propose moving the article back into Mainspace, with Marks listed, more simply, as a Producer of environmentally-oriented films, using those links above. That would solve the problem of the lack of print articles about him -- as a journalist -- at this point in time. It would give others a chance to benefit from his contributions. The opening may be rewritten: "Marks is the Producer of film narratives that provide environmental solutions and leadership voices, in the United States and China. Thanks so much. Lettucecup ( talk) 15:53, 28 August 2018 (UTC)Lettucecup Here is the link: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Richard_J._Marks
@ 78.26: Thank you for your fast reply. Super nice, and helpful. Let me try to state this another way. When someone is a notable film Producer, that person is listed in the film's credits. The film (the final product) may or may not be written about in the news. (For just one example, Walter Wagner was a producer [ [5]] ... in which the WP page lists a few print sources and IMDB).
Here are three existing credits for Marks here as a list; please see if you believe this to be adequate crediting for the article to stand for a Producer. They are listed where credits are always listed: in the actual films (noted with Time Codes).
1. Producer: LinkTV https://archive.org/details/linktv_earth20081114 (Time Code 25:30)
2. Producer: The State of Renewable Energy Finance” -- https://player.vimeo.com/video/133473382 (Time Code 7:41)
3. Producer: "WIREC: Washington International Renewable Energy Conference" -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxu1YDNI7k4 (Time Code: 8:00).
Separately/Additionally, there are are legitimate additional references that caused the Wikipedia "consensus" to have some problems, specifically in terms of citing Marks as a "convener")
... which is why I am proposing we use just the three CREDITS above (1, 2 and 3).
Those print articles are for his convening activities, not films:
4. Marks is listed in the Atlantic Monthly by Dr. William Haseltine, link: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2010/05/the-green-salon-water-and-life/57265/ ... as follows:
"Richard Marks, the next speaker, specializes in energy, education, and environmental issue. Currently, he consults for the US Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy."
"The New York Salon was organized by Nora Maccoby-Hathaway, Mara Haseltine and Richard Marks, the same three who organized the Washington meetings. The salon was co-hosted by the New York Academy of Sciences. The Waterkeeper Alliance, the Agnes B Tara Oceans Project, the Stella Group, STAR ISLAND, the Stella Group, and Urban Assembly, New York Harbor School were also represented."
5. Print and online editions of China Daily by Fu Jing, 8-11-2008: http://www.productions1000.com/voicesofchange_chinadaily.pdf
6. Newsweek by Jonathan Ansfield, 7-28-2008: http://www.productions1000.com/qa_greenforumnotsogreengames.pdf
Lastly, while it is known and verified that Marks was an accredited broadcast journalist (CNN, National Geographic, and Productions 1000), unfortunately, Broadcast Journalists are not written about in print.
Thus, the solution I am proposing is to use just the film credits (1, 2 and 3 above) as valid notablity as a film Producer (only) of environmental content, so that the Wikipedia article can stand and exist. Thank you again. I hope this effort is worth it. Lettucecup ( talk) 20:48, 28 August 2018 (UTC)Lettucecup
@ 78.26:Thank you. I totally get it. I contacted the subject of this article about a month ago, when all this came up regarding the references (China in particular) to try to obtain more written references. I have to will come back to you at the time in which he has obtained what you are seeking. Notability isn't the problem, as you and the original editor who approved this, have stated. It is about the quality/depth of the independent references, and Marks is well aware that we need articles with enough substance to move this back in. Have a nice evening.

The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:
During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best editor win!

.Hello, I was the nominator of List of surviving veterans of the Spanish Civil War for deletion. Respectfully, I don't feel it was closed as no consensus fairly and the article should have been deleted. All eight delete voters gave well reasoned policy based reasons for deletion in their arguments and that is certainly not what the keep voters did. Here is a break down of the issues with the keep voters' arguments:
Nate (Mrschimpf): Nate's whole argument consisted of trashing and making demands of the nominator, and making provably false claims such as that their is adequate sourcing in the article when most sources are older then the maximum on longevity pages age of one year (which is longstanding consensus) and new sources can't be found for five of eight individuals. He also made the false claim that we have similar articles to this, for all surviving veterans of a war, which we don't. There was nothing of substance in his argument.
Wikimandia: For starters, he endorsed Nate's worthless argument. The rest of his argument was doubting there is a fanbase for this articles content, when there always has been as explained by DerbycountyinNZ. You can also see this fan base in action by looking at threads about these veterans on the 110 club website, where people like to ruminate about things like when will the last of these vets die and who is still living. There was nothing policy based about why this article should stay on Wikipedia or how it meets any policies or guidelines.
Czolgolz: His argument was the article has been maintained for over a decade and there used to be a similar article for the vastly more prominent First World War. He also admitted these vets are all obscure people and falsely claimed that it is not the consensus on longevity pages that people must be removed if they don't have a reliable source demonstrating they were alive up to one year ago, when it is the longstanding consensus. No one bothered to enforce it on this particular page, but it is still the policy that was supposed to be followed. Nothing he said was accurately policy based or even addressed to how this article meets Wikipedia polices, like WP:BLP, WP:TOOSOON, WP:LISTN, WP:SIGCOV etc.
NukeThePukes: His entire argument consisted of trashing the nominator and making provable false claims, such as that their are not at least hundreds and possibly thousands of vets left, when there are, and that we currently have other individual articles (that means solely dedicated to one war) dedicated to all surviving war vets of other conflicts, which we don't. There was no substance whatsoever in his argument, only noise.
Drunk in Paris: They endorsed Nate's worthless comment and said this was another longevity article that should never have been nominated for deletion. I had recently AfD another article [1] which he also wanted to keep and he likely read the keep comments here trashing me and just took it at face value that this article must be fine and the nominator is wrong. No one as yet had voted for deletion. There was nothing policy based in his argument or the argument he referenced.
208.54.87.254: He endorsed NukeThePukes' argument, which as I explained above had unequivocally zero substance whatsoever in it. After I pointed this out, he said Mrschimpf and Czolgolz had good points too, only as I explained here they didn't. Also, the fact that this person thought NukeThePukes' garbage comment was a great argument demonstrates this person's opinion is objectively not worth listening too. They literally endorsed the worst comments on the AfD thread.
Into the Rift: Endorsed Nate's worthless argument and said WP:IDONTLIKEIT is not a reason for deletion, when no one said it was. They completely ignored the policy based arguments all nine who wanted to delete the article put forth and used the excuse the nominator sucks so this article must stay. There is nothing of substance about the article in this argument, so it is worthless.
I do not understand how you saw this as 50/50 no consensus; all of the policy based arguments for deletion and all of the provably substance free arguments to keep that overwhelming consisted of trashing the nominator and making provably false claims were not equal. As explained in the delete votes, this article needs to be deleted for many different policy based reasons. Is there a way we can rectify this without going to appeal? For some background, I have been aware of this article for many years and didn't just stumble upon it and try to get rid of it out of spite. I was an active reader years before I ever started editing myself (mainly on longevity articles), which is why I knew that there used to be an accompanying suite of articles on deaths of Spanish Civil War veterans by year that all got deleted years ago. The keep voters started a WP:IDONTLIKEIT lynch mob against me, which par for the discussion was substance free on their part. Sincerely, Newshunter12 ( talk) 14:59, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello 78.26 I was pleasantly surprised to read your article on John Murray. He was the great great grandfather of my mother Rita Murray. I've been researching this man for many years and collected material on his anti-slavery activities and his employment as an engineer and later collector with the Forth and Clyde Canal Company.
My main reason for contacting you relates to the section of your article Other Activism, reference points 15 & 16 the Memoir of Annie Struthers, which appears to be an unpublished document c.1885? I've searched on Google and can't find anything on it. I gather you've seen it so I was wondering if you could give me information about the location/owner of it.
From my Murray family records I know that John Murray's wife Anne Thomson had a sister Margaret Stewart and one of her daughters (Annie) married a Thomas Struthers. That could be the connection to John Murray in the memoir.
I have additional information on John Murray and a photo of a portrait of him that could be added to your article, if you thought it OK.

I'm inviting admins to join our team at parli.co providing advice on how to build and manage a collaborative website. Parli.co is an emerging project aiming at building a sort of Wikipedia of arguments around controversial topics (more info here). Part of our budget will be destined to such consultancy work, and we think we could benefit from the experience of Wikipedia janitors and admins.

Let me ask? What is wrong with that article?? If something wrong you should make it correct, deleting and declining requests are not the solution and what u know about him? What is your research level about his lifestyle??? Absolutely zero!!! Deleting articles by those who are unaware of the topic should be counted wrong and i will write that you dont have right to decide about the article which subject is not fimilar for you. No need of deletion, if something is wrong can be solved out on talk page! Even no deletion contest time??? Really sad!

Hi 78.26, would you consider running for ArbCom? You are a neutral, sensible, well-liked administrator. Please consider running if you are able. The deadline for self-nominations is in a few days. Thank you, Softlavender ( talk) 11:36, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
@ Softlavender:@ Vanamonde93: I thought it fair to inform you I won't be running this year, although I did consider it. The most important reason is that there are at least six current candidates I can wholeheartedly support. The other is that I took a look at the questions people were asking the candidates, and I don't have enough time to thoroughly research them before submitting a candidacy. It took me nearly a year to take the RfA plunge, and I don't feel prepared yet for this. I am not ruling out running next year, or in the future, but I don't think this is the right year for me.

I will say this here since you relisted this the first time. DannyS712 relisted this AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Burntisland and District Pipe Band (2nd nomination) for the third time improperly considering there was no participation the first 2 times and should have closed by now (usually as a soft delete). I have no clue if I should revert his relist or not. Regards, Jovanmilic97 ( talk) 09:33, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback and the point re: WP:SYNTH. I'm still a newbie here so v.helpful. I'll re-build the section but only include people with an explicit reference / cross-ref to them being a "sentientist". JamieWoodhouse ( talk) 15:38, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi there. Thanks for the block. I thought I'd blocked but somehow didn't. I did the same thing a couple of months ago. Odd. I'll be more careful next time. Best, Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 15:01, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
Since you chastised me for criticizing someone on a Talk page as an example of abuse, I've had an eye out for it. I'm astonished at how often I have been insulted without my having initiated an insult. Now it's true that some people hate change and hate bold editors. It's easier just to go with the flow and keep the wheels spinning. But I doubt you can look at the Talk Page for
Baby, It's Cold Outside and think this is how Wikipedia is supposed to work. Every year this song gets dragged into the gutter by impulsive people who think Wikipedia is a newspaper or a TV program or Facebook and who want to make it controversial. So two problems: the content on the page, and user's persistent insults toward me on that article's talk page. I'm reaching the limits of my patience with some of these people. If you indulge them, you make things worse for everyone, and I'm not going to do that. I try to take a wider view. I'm not concerned with the hurt feelings of a small group of people who either can't or won't follow the rules. I don't know what the penalty is for insulting people, so I don't know what recourse you have, but in some cases these people ought not to be editors. Why do we assume everyone can be an editor? They can't.

Look, it really wasn't so absurd to ask the dumbass why he thought an editor who had made two edits to the talk page was a nuisance. If that's a personal attack, you and he can go fuck yourselves. — Malik Shabazz Talk/ Stalk 03:23, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
Hey, I saw you just set pork roll so only autoconfirmed editors can move it. I was just thinking about move-protecting it, too. However, I think you'd have to make it "extended confirmed" or "sysop" for it to be meaningful because anyone who can move the page is already guaranteed to be autoconfirmed.

at here [ [7]] it was PRODed and deleted by someone else, but then you deleted it through multiple CSD 5 hours later. What happened? Did someone try to recreate it in between all that? - R9tgokunks ⭕ 05:12, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi there 78.26,
I'm a newbie so forgive any forthcoming ignorance (of which I'm sure there will be a lot). In short, I attempted to start a page for an actor named Parveen Kaur but it was deleted a few months back. I still don't fully understand why (as she is very clearly a real person) but am now revisiting it as I've seen new interviews with her online so there are more / new references available for the article. Right now there is a glaring mistake on Google when searching for "Parveen Kaur" as there is no Wikipedia page for her. There is one for another Parveen Kaur (an actor in India) and the search results are mixing the two together. I think that her having a dedicated Wikipedia page will remedy this inaccuracy.
Please let me know what you think and how I should proceed. Thanks a lot for your time.

Thanks for the quick reply 78.26. Yes that is her and yes that draft is similar although not the one I made which was deleted. I will try to read / understand those links you sent me thank you very much. But in the meantime, here are 3 new links: https://meaww.com/manifest-star-parveen-kaur-diversity-stereotype-women-entertainment-industry, https://www.byrdie.com/amp/parveen-kaur-skincare-tips, https://bellanyc.com/get-to-know-parveen-kaur-star-of-nbc-new-hit-show-manifest/. None of these are PR or sent from NBC or from IMDB (which I think was part of the problem last time). What do you think? Thx again!
Hi there 78.26. Just a quick follow up here. Did you get a chance to look at those new links? Thanks so much. BrixtonTown ( talk) 23:08, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
No problem 78.26 totally understand. Hmm, well I've come across two more links that you can see here. They are both interviews: http://www.runwaybeauty.com/download/Runway2018Fall.pdf, https://www.thetealmango.com/entertainment/parveen-kaur-star-nbcs-latest-mystery-manifest/amp/. I think I'm understanding what is meant by notability requirements but don't we get to a place where fixing an inaccuracy is more important than nailing the notability thing? I also don't know how highly-read these magazines are either but does someone really need to be in Vogue to pass? Especially considering that there are other actors on the same show who have Wikipedia pages with the same level as or even less references to pass these notability requirements. It's just strange to me that we'd prefer to have a dead link on the Manifest (TV Series) page and incorrect information on Google results just because of this notability thing. She's clearly a real person and a "notable" person. Or am I mistaken? Please let me know. Thanks a lot. BrixtonTown ( talk) 16:30, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi there 78.26. Happy new year! Just following up with you about this. FYI, another Meaww article has popped up. Please take a look when you can and let me know what you think and how I should proceed in regards to getting a page up on this Actor. https://meaww.com/manifest-saanvi-can-offer-a-lot-more-than-just-being-a-sidekick-for-the-stones.

The Cleanup Listing for Wikiproject Jazz comes out every Tuesday. EddieHugh had an excellent week of work. But there are some articles on today's listing that puzzled me.
Unless I'm mistaken, which is possible, an experienced editor created these articles. All of them contain one line and an infobox with one entry. Is this standard procedure? These contrast starkly with the work EddieHugh has done. I helped, but he has more experience. I'm not going to speak for him, but he probably would like an explanation for these articles, too. Obviously I do. I hear a lot complaining across Wikipedia about retaining editors. Instead of looking for more people, why not shrink Wikipedia? Why not clean up the junk? Why not examine current editors to make sure they are not creating needless work? During the past year, I can't help coming to the conclusion that there are people who believe creating an article, any article, is morally superior to deleting one. To achieve... what? points of some kind according to how many articles one has created or Saved from deletion (Amen). I tried to address someone on this point, but he got annoyed by my questions. Would you comment on both points? These articles, one, and an obsessive-compulsive desire to create articles (and "save" them from being deleted) as part of some kind of moral or religious crusade. Thanks. My interest is in seeing Wikipedia make progress.

I came across a redlink, to Ron Brown (writer). Bearcat nominated the article for deletion. Only one contributor endorsed the nomination. Your closure was for a soft deletion.
Bearcat's nomination asserted all the references were to Brown's own site. Bearcat and I have disagreed on how much effort a nominator should make, to comply with WP:BEFORE, in order to make claims that there are no good references. This is an instance where, in my opinion, he was too ready to claim there were no references, when 30 seconds with google came up with several.
Are these references sufficient to establish notability? I dunno. So I request userification. Talk page too, if it is not too much trouble.
While the references I found may not be sufficient to establish notability, in my opinion they definitely should have precluded the nomination stating all existing references were to his own website. Geo Swan ( talk) 18:53, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I am new to wikipedia from the submission/publishing side. Last November 29th, 2017 I submitted for the subject header biography. Kaspare is the patriarch of the family business for which I work. I received an email response indicating that I would not get a response for four weeks and I got buried at work with higher-priority topics. I didn't realize that I'd received an email response in my account because I thought that I would get an email when the article was published. I'd like to add new information but my submission has been understandably deleted because of six months passing. References to Kaspare are peppered across wikipedia and wikipedia istself has several "empty references" to Kaspare at " /info/en/?search=MUFG_Union_Bank" and " https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia:New_user_landing_page&page=Kaspare+Cohn" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisbutanyway ( talk • contribs) 00:00, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
How do I submit a conflict of interest? I have no familial relationship to Kaspare but work at a family office, HFH Ltd., of Kaspare. www.hfhltd.com. Is there some manner in which I can respond directly to someone? I don't have any experience using wikipedia for submissions and I am having a tough time following where/what/how I am supposed to procede? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisbutanyway ( talk • contribs) 00:42, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
I tried to submit additional links for Kaspare Cohn but then I was redirected to the same page indicating that my submissions was rejected and expired. I tried to submit the following additional links;
