Re: this edit on Prod, if I understand correctly we should also fix RFD and TFD in the same way? -- Jameboy ( talk) 16:55, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for adding the category 'Public baths in the United Kingdom' to this stub. It at least brings the subject of the page into a generalised context. I am a newbie at this, so please forgive any idiocies in my understanding of categories.The reasons for adding this quite totally inadequte page as a temporary measure is explained on its talk page. It's a really important Victorian Turkish bath historically and only shortage of time has prevented a fuller treatment so far.
Please can you help me to understand why such peripheral catageories as 'Buildings and structures in Swindon', '1868 establishments in England', and 'Victorian architecture in England' have been added when the (in my personal view) more specific categories 'Victorian Turkish baths' 'Hot-air baths' 'bathing' and 'Swindon' (in that order of importance) have not been added. Or do I just add them myself as an edit? I would wish, at the very least, to include 'Victorian Turkish baths' as the first category. It then fits in clearly with the 'Victorian Turkish bath' page which is currently under major revision (see its talk page again).
Also, although I originally suggested the title of the 'Victorian Turkish bath' page when it was split from Hammam a couple of years ago, work on its revision has convinced be that the title should be in the plural, again, as explained on its talk page. If there are no serious objections to this change, how should I set about it?
I'm sure these are all simply solved issues but I can't seem to find my way about the jungle of guidance pages. Any help would be very much appreciated. Ishpoloni ( talk) 21:48, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
an article should be categorised under the most specific branch in the category tree possible. Category:Public baths in the United Kingdom is that more specific category, it already incorporates the notion of bathing, through "public baths".Hope that helps, and I'm looking forward to your reply. My preliminary conclusion is that the only change that is needed is creating the Victorian Turkish baths category (and filling it with all of the Victorian Turkish baths).P.S. There's something very important that you should know. Categories, as a category, are of questionable utility, and you should not worry too much about them. There are editors who seriously question if we should even have them. The "rules" of Wikipedia categorization have their logic, but this logic is not immediately transparent, and an article is supposed to be immediately transparent to a reader. The law of triviality strongly applies to categories. My recommendation to you as a new editor would be to completely forget about this non-essential feature, and to concentrate on developing prose for the time being, as that is what really counts.— Alalch E. 23:01, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
I just wanted to thank you again for your help over the matter of categories. This has now been sorted with the adoption of 'Victorian Turkish baths' and it seems that Wiki Commons has adopted it also. Many thanks.

You have recently made edits related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. This is a standard message to inform you that articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. Contentious topics are the successor to the former discretionary sanctions system, which you may be aware of. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics. For a summary of difference between the former and new system, see WP:CTVSDS. El_C 16:40, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Upon deletion, I pointed to WP:AFC approval, specifically so that there is a record of such a review—a summary—on a page involving a living person that was twice deleted in procedures such as this (diff). But you have ignored and circumvented that, making that timeline challenging to parse. Do I need to log this caution at WP:AEL to get that point across? I didn't think I needed to, but your response above gives me pause. El_C 17:57, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
@ El C: In the AfD you said something about being upfront how I operate. I sometimes edit drafts on marginal topics out of fun, exploring whether they can be understood to be notable in the very process of editing them. One such example is Draft:Platinum Moon which I researched and edited quite a bit and did not ultimately move to mainspace, determining that, despite my efforts, the topic is not notable. There are other examples, some probably G13'd by now. One example is Thai Boon Roong Twin Tower World Trade Center, a seemingly questionable subject that was feared to be a hoax. I didn't know if it's notable when I started editing that draft, and I also painstakingly researched that topic, and unlike the previous example, I determined that notability is present here, and so I moved. Another example is The Violent, which was a five-time declined draft taken to MfD. I took over that draft and mainspaced it because in the process of editing it I came to understand that: (1) the content is useful for someone who wants to learn about this band; (2) if this had been an article and if someone were to AfD it, the chance for a delete outcome is low (singles have charted leading to an WP:BAND pass). Another example: Hiroshi Nagai. This is how I sometimes operate (one of the things that I do on Wikipedia), and this is absolutely the same approach I have taken to the recent topic, but I was extra careful here and applied a special level of scrutiny to the sources. I operate objectively and self-critically.— Alalch E. 18:42, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi, regarding
this edit, you must never copy the |rfcid=

another RfC, they must be unique - you should always let Legobot assign its own. By copying the |rfcid=

Hello Alalch E.,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:

The meaning of WP:NOTBROKEN is that we're not supposed to go around "fixing" the use of redirects that are not broken. I don't see any functional difference between that and what I observed in those edits - the edits changed from linking the text "xyz" to the river article under that same name, to linking the text "xyz" to the river article under another name. Whoever would follow that link would not even get the redirected from <that name> caption, they'd just find themselves in the river article which has been renamed and so you just ended up creating a WP:EASTEREGG. It's a pointless activity that has no value to readers or editors, please don't do that. -- Joy ( talk) 17:43, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

hello sir Alalch E.
You recently added the speedy deletion tag on my draft:Mafatlal industries , please sir looks on the issue as the promotion of any organization has not been done . the draft has been created on real references and facts. Whatif222 ( talk) 12:46, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
On 9 February 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bdóte, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Bdóte, an area of sacred significance to the Dakota people, centered on the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers, was also the site of their forced exile from Minnesota? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bdóte. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Bdóte), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

@ Alalch E.: Respected, now the latest, it has been published on Macedonian portals a full critical look at Macedonian poets about Trajkovski's poetry, his life is also being talked about. Are you polite to insert it into the draft?

Re: this edit on Prod, if I understand correctly we should also fix RFD and TFD in the same way? -- Jameboy ( talk) 16:55, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for adding the category 'Public baths in the United Kingdom' to this stub. It at least brings the subject of the page into a generalised context. I am a newbie at this, so please forgive any idiocies in my understanding of categories.The reasons for adding this quite totally inadequte page as a temporary measure is explained on its talk page. It's a really important Victorian Turkish bath historically and only shortage of time has prevented a fuller treatment so far.
Please can you help me to understand why such peripheral catageories as 'Buildings and structures in Swindon', '1868 establishments in England', and 'Victorian architecture in England' have been added when the (in my personal view) more specific categories 'Victorian Turkish baths' 'Hot-air baths' 'bathing' and 'Swindon' (in that order of importance) have not been added. Or do I just add them myself as an edit? I would wish, at the very least, to include 'Victorian Turkish baths' as the first category. It then fits in clearly with the 'Victorian Turkish bath' page which is currently under major revision (see its talk page again).
Also, although I originally suggested the title of the 'Victorian Turkish bath' page when it was split from Hammam a couple of years ago, work on its revision has convinced be that the title should be in the plural, again, as explained on its talk page. If there are no serious objections to this change, how should I set about it?
I'm sure these are all simply solved issues but I can't seem to find my way about the jungle of guidance pages. Any help would be very much appreciated. Ishpoloni ( talk) 21:48, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
an article should be categorised under the most specific branch in the category tree possible. Category:Public baths in the United Kingdom is that more specific category, it already incorporates the notion of bathing, through "public baths".Hope that helps, and I'm looking forward to your reply. My preliminary conclusion is that the only change that is needed is creating the Victorian Turkish baths category (and filling it with all of the Victorian Turkish baths).P.S. There's something very important that you should know. Categories, as a category, are of questionable utility, and you should not worry too much about them. There are editors who seriously question if we should even have them. The "rules" of Wikipedia categorization have their logic, but this logic is not immediately transparent, and an article is supposed to be immediately transparent to a reader. The law of triviality strongly applies to categories. My recommendation to you as a new editor would be to completely forget about this non-essential feature, and to concentrate on developing prose for the time being, as that is what really counts.— Alalch E. 23:01, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
I just wanted to thank you again for your help over the matter of categories. This has now been sorted with the adoption of 'Victorian Turkish baths' and it seems that Wiki Commons has adopted it also. Many thanks.

You have recently made edits related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. This is a standard message to inform you that articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. Contentious topics are the successor to the former discretionary sanctions system, which you may be aware of. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics. For a summary of difference between the former and new system, see WP:CTVSDS.

Upon deletion, I pointed to WP:AFC approval, specifically so that there is a record of such a review—a summary—on a page involving a living person that was twice deleted in procedures such as this (diff). But you have ignored and circumvented that, making that timeline challenging to parse. Do I need to log this caution at WP:AEL to get that point across? I didn't think I needed to, but your response above gives me pause. El_C 17:57, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
@ El C: In the AfD you said something about being upfront how I operate. I sometimes edit drafts on marginal topics out of fun, exploring whether they can be understood to be notable in the very process of editing them. One such example is Draft:Platinum Moon which I researched and edited quite a bit and did not ultimately move to mainspace, determining that, despite my efforts, the topic is not notable. There are other examples, some probably G13'd by now. One example is Thai Boon Roong Twin Tower World Trade Center, a seemingly questionable subject that was feared to be a hoax. I didn't know if it's notable when I started editing that draft, and I also painstakingly researched that topic, and unlike the previous example, I determined that notability is present here, and so I moved. Another example is The Violent, which was a five-time declined draft taken to MfD. I took over that draft and mainspaced it because in the process of editing it I came to understand that: (1) the content is useful for someone who wants to learn about this band; (2) if this had been an article and if someone were to AfD it, the chance for a delete outcome is low (singles have charted leading to an WP:BAND pass). Another example: Hiroshi Nagai. This is how I sometimes operate (one of the things that I do on Wikipedia), and this is absolutely the same approach I have taken to the recent topic, but I was extra careful here and applied a special level of scrutiny to the sources. I operate objectively and self-critically.— Alalch E. 18:42, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi, regarding
this edit, you must never copy the |rfcid=
from
another RfC, they must be unique - you should always let Legobot assign its own. By copying the |rfcid=
, this caused the listing entries to
become corrupted.
No corrective action is required in this instance because this removal by Nemov ( talk · contribs) has triggered Legobot to repair the listing entry. -- Redrose64 🌹 ( talk) 14:06, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello Alalch E.,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

The meaning of WP:NOTBROKEN is that we're not supposed to go around "fixing" the use of redirects that are not broken. I don't see any functional difference between that and what I observed in those edits - the edits changed from linking the text "xyz" to the river article under that same name, to linking the text "xyz" to the river article under another name. Whoever would follow that link would not even get the redirected from <that name> caption, they'd just find themselves in the river article which has been renamed and so you just ended up creating a WP:EASTEREGG. It's a pointless activity that has no value to readers or editors, please don't do that. -- Joy ( talk) 17:43, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
