Hi Barkeep49,
Would you be able to accept the request to review the page for the Netflix television series, Shadow? If you can let me know, if that's fine with you, I would appreciate it. Thanks. Elainasla ( talk) 07:34, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
I am not affiliated with Netflix. But I do love their shows. Well, most of them, anyways. I hope that answers your question. Elainasla ( talk) 18:37, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Talk:The Matrix (franchise)/Archive 2#Request for Comment - Crediting The Wachowskis
I appreciate your time in taking this one on. It was a lot to sift through for sure. Just curious if you can clarify the strong consensus you detected in your analysis. For the article lead and body, I agree that across the board a large majority supported it. However, for the infobox area, which was treated somewhat separately in many of the responses and discussion, consensus was more divided (15 vs 10). While it was still a consensus in favor of The Wachowskis, that portion wasn't exactly what I'd deem "strong". Also, I'm pretty sure WanderingWanda and others that supported option A wanted this RfC to extend beyond just The Matrix film article. As mentioned in the discussion, it was advertised to the other Wachowski film article talk pages. Not sure if you want to address that in the closing remarks as well.
Again, I appreciate your time and thanks in advance! -- GoneIn60 ( talk) 18:51, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

It was a WP:COPYWITHIN violation by not attributing the source page. ViperSnake151 Talk 15:18, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi, quick question on the Page Curation tool. I just created my first article from scratch, Duke of Gordon's Monument, and I noticed it hasn't appeared in the New Pages feed. (Don't worry, I wasn't going to review it myself - I just thought I'd see if it was there, and if Page Curation picked up any problems with it.) Is that a feature of Page Curation does it filter out your own work? I don't think I'm auto-patrolled. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 15:53, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Dear all. Recently, FR30799386 ( talk) was blocked for sock puppetry. Among their projects were a number of user scripts that they left behind. I (DannyS712) have copied the scripts, and have taken over maintaining them. You currently import one or more of FR30799386's scripts, and I thought that you might want to import a maintained version. Links to each script are provided below.
If you have any questions, please reach out and talk to me. -- DannyS712 ( talk) 03:57, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
I simply cannot fathom why you should revert a perfectly good, succinct and notable article to a redirect to Beneteau#lagoon when there is no such address. Lagoon is owned by Beneteau, but the only reference to Lagoon on that page is a sentence that I posted earlier today!! If you look at list of multihulls you will see that there are a dozen or so links (now blue, previously red) that are directed to Lagoon. Why sabotage this work? Please let me know if you have a coherent reason, as I propose to reinstate the article otherwise. Arrivisto ( talk) 21:54, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi! The full version of this newsletter issue has a lot of information. I am sending a short version to talk pages.
The most important information to know is that draft 2 is finished, that the single long script has been divided into many smaller scripts, and that portions of the script have been prioritized for production.
Due to budget constraints, not all scripts can be produced within the scope of the current pilot grant, but the other scripts will remain available for potential future production. (This project feels somewhat like doing a vehicle repair when the mechanic starts to work on the engine, and once the mechanic gets under the engine and starts to work, they discover that accomplishing their objective requires twice as much time as they first had estimated.) However, nothing is lost, so do not fear. Overall, my assessment (me being User:Pine) is that this project is producing a lot of good output and is generally a valuable pilot project.
For more information, including my requests for your feedback, please see the full version of the newsletter.

With the completion of our project banner project, we have a large backlog of unassessed articles. Doing article rating is a great way to find interesting articles with-in our project's scope and to also find articles that were incorrectly tagged. This project will hopefully let us better monitor and aid in the development the many articles that this project supports. Thanks to Legoktm for all his work in making this happen.
Looking for information on a book? Try out the new Children's literature custom search engine. This custom google search engine will look at designated sites for information. Included so far are Kirkus Reviews, School Library Journal, Horn Book, and Publisher's Weekly. If you have ideas for other sites which should be added start a discussion on our project talk page.

Welcome to the sixth newsletter from the Growth team!
The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.
The Growth team has been working on features to increase new editor retention for the last seven months. We have made a lot of progress and learned a lot, and we've just finished planning for our next three months. During the next three months, we're going to focus on iterations of the help panel and the newcomer homepage. We have decided not to start the engagement emails project, because we think that we will be able to do better work by improving the projects we have already started. Specifically, these are our team goals:
We have recently decided on the specifications for an initial version that we can deploy and iterate on:
We're currently running live user tests on this configuration. Future work will include adapting the homepage for mobile, working on a task recommendation module, and considering how to encourage newcomers to visit their homepage.
During the last month, the help panel was deployed on Vietnamese Wikipedia, adding it to Czech and Korean Wikipedias.As of 2019-03-14:
We have been analyzing the data around usage, and we'll be publishing numbers in the coming weeks. At a high level, we see at least some users are being helped by the panel, with many clicking on links, running searches, and asking questions. We do not yet see any problems that have arisen from the help panel. Therefore, we think that the help panel is generally a positive feature – though data is still coming that will allow us to see its numerical impact. If other wikis are interested in using the help panel, please contact us on our team's talk page, in the language of your choice.
Over the past month, we have iterated on the help panel to take into account the usage patterns we are seeing. You can see in the accompanying image how the help panel currently looks.
We want to see whether users find the "search" useful. If so, we may spend time on improving search results. We're also looking forward to learning whether exposing the help panel in "read" mode in more namespaces will increase usage.

On 9 April 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Florida shuffle, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that drug users doing the Florida shuffle move between multiple rehab centers so that each center may bill the user's insurance company as much as $40,000? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Florida shuffle), 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.

Hi,
I noticed you expressed an interest in this. I'd be willing to help out or at least give my perspective. I've never been involved in proposing policy changes, and I obviously have a COI, though I think that makes my perspective useful. This Wired article just makes things that much worse: https://www.wired.com/story/want-to-know-how-to-build-a-better-democracy-ask-wikipedia/
Now Wired is reporting that Wikipedians will get you back if you follow disclosure policy by including your disclosure in the article about the subject. If Wikipedia still wants organizations and individuals to disclose, it really needs a "rebranding" of "paid editing" for those who never actually edit articles - I think the idea that article subjects or their reps are using the official "Contact Us" mechanism is what needs to be conveyed. /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Contact_us/Article_subjects
This failure to characterize disclosing editors as article subject reps asking for a correction of some sort, like an ordinary Contact Us for any publisher, really could kill disclosure. Everything could go back to UPE. BTW, I'm confident my major clients would be thrilled if disclosed requests were all handled by emails, or even a ticketed queue for Contact Us off of Talk. The type of clients I work with have an entirely different perspective than Wikipedia spammers.

I took a look at this with a view to reviewing it. It's entirely unsourced, is OK from a COPYVIO point of view, so the flowchart tells me to tag it and move on. However, it obviously discusses several named persons (whom I assume may be still living), and seems to ascribe some views and motives to them - given that it's entirely unsourced, that makes me rather uncomfortable. What would you do with a page like this? Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 22:57, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi. I've noticed that you tend to mark a bunch of drafts as under review, and then often don't actually review them. Right now, I see about a half dozen drafts in this state for over an hour.

Hi, I've got a quick question if you've got a minute? I declined this draft: Draft:Spanish Royal Physics Society (RSEF) on the grounds that none of it was referenced - if had a couple of external links, but no inline citations.

How would you treat a case like this - are the external links enough to accept the article, and just tag is for the style of citations / needing more sources?

Welcome to the seventh newsletter from the Growth team!
The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.
Like the other Growth team features, this will be deployed in a controlled experiment, in which half of newcomers will have access to their homepage and half will not. Users with the feature will be able to access it by clicking their username at the top of their browser, and it will only be available on desktop -- not mobile. Experienced users who want to see their homepage will be able to turn it on in their preferences.
Wikis receiving the newcomer homepage can expect these things:
The most important piece developed for the homepage over the last month is the "start module", which gives newcomers clear actions to take when they are new: add/confirm their email, go through a tutorial, start their user page. We learned about the need for this module from user tests last month. The next priorities for the newcomer homepage are:

Hello Barkeep49! With support of the Tree of Life community, I have decided to start up a newsletter for that WikiProject. I have a question for you relating to your similar experience with WP:Children's literature. How does subscribing work? Since TOL is so huge and encompasses very many sub-projects, I think the proposed newsletter should be something where everyone opts in rather than basing off a participant list. I presume there's a bot that delivers to talk pages? It's something I'm hoping to figure out in the next month or so, so your input would be appreciated.

My apologies for my missteps around preventing the deletion of this article; I don't have much experience in maintaining Wikipedia content. I do however have a fair amount of experience in Java EE development, and obviously chronicling the history of the Java EE specification is important to me personally. I suspect you don't have experience in this field due to your impression that Java EE is a piece of software, or a collection of software (available to purchase or download for instance). The evolution of this specification and the actions of the JCP committee members has changed, and will continue to change the course of a multi-billion-dollar industry. The individual technologies included in each evolution is important. Each version could have its own page like C++ Standardization (table), but I think it's best to have this history chronicled in a single article. There is an elegance to this as it follows the approach to its non-enterprise counterpart, Java SE.

Hi Barkeep49. I'm new to monitoring the new pages feed and was wondering if you could offer me some guidance. I noticed that patrollers will sometimes move undersourced articles to draftspace, as you did with Winterfest (event). How do you decide when to incubate an article instead of nominating it for deletion? In the case of the Winterfest article, I'm not seeing any potential for it to be expanded with independent sources, so I'm not sure that incubating was the right call. – Lord Bolingbroke ( talk) 01:30, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
Welcome to a special newsletter from the Growth team! This special newsletter is not about Wikimedia Foundation Growth team projects. Instead, it is a call for submissions for the Community Growth space at Wikimania 2019. We think that many people who receive this newsletter may have something valuable to contribute to this space at Wikimania. We haven't translated the newsletter, because Wikimania's language is English.
Please see below for the message from the organizers of the Community Growth space at Wikimania.
---
Wikimania 2019 is organized into 19 “ spaces”, which are all accepting proposals for sessions. This message comes from the team organizing the Community Growth space.
Since you are interested b Growth team projects, and potentially involved in welcoming newcomers initiatives on your wiki, we would like to invite you to submit a proposal to the Community Growth space because of the actions you’ve done around newcomers on wikis. The deadline for submission is June 1. See below for Community Growth submission topics and session formats. Topics and sessions have to be in English.
In the Community Growth space, we will come together for discussions, presentations, and workshops that address these questions:
Recommended topics: please see this link for the list for the list of recommended topics. If you do not plan to submit a proposal, you can also suggest additional topics here. If your topic does not fit into our space, remember that there are 18 other spaces that could welcome you sharing your knowledge and perspective.
Types of session. We prefer sessions that are participatory, interactive, promote conversations, and give a voice to parts of our movement that are heard less often. Please see this link for the list of recommended session formats.
Poster submissions. Posters are also a good way to introduce a topic, or show some results of an action. Please consider submitting one!
More information about the Community Growth space, topics, and submission formats is available on the proposal page.
Please submit your proposal. The reviews will happen at the beginning of June.
If you have questions about Wikimania in general, please ask them on the Wikimania wiki.

Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:
Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.
Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

With regard to your comment at WP:Deletion_review/Log/2019_May_10... You said you couldn't review the article?
Many deleted articles are captured, shortly before their deletion was finalized, at the deletionpedia. The version of the Olympia Nelson article, at http://deletionpedia.org/en/Olympia_Nelson is not the very final version - where the section on her second big event, the 2013 op-ed, was expanded. Her op-ed was widely republished. An Australian public affairs show devoted an entire episode to her. Scholars cite her.
I think this second event, and the many interviews it triggered, and the episode devoted to her on national TV, means the original claims of BLP1E were complete nonsense.
You wrote "...especially about someone who would have been a child in what was being written about..." Ms Nelson made a huge effort to defend her late mother's artistic choices. She said this was her all-time favourite photo of herself. I suggest the fact that Ms Nelson defended the photo in multiple RS means wikipedia coverage will not offend her.
Rather, if we are protecting her, against her will, surely that is highly offensive?
Doesn't the assumption that Ms Nelson needs protection imply the wikipedia has decided that, in spite of her vocal defense of the image, she is some kind of victim? If I were in her position I would resent the heck out of this unwelcome protection. Geo Swan ( talk) 05:53, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello. I came across your username while on the Good Articles nomination page. Based on your userpage, I see you're making articles for every book that won/was honored for a Caldecott or Newbery. I was curious if you would like to help me make articles for the respective authors as well for these awards. As you can see, Caldecott Medal almost has 40 bio redlinks while Newbery Medal has almost 20. It would be nice to have them all blue - especially all the women as I'm a member of Women in Red.

Hi - I was reading this conversation, and wondered whether it would be useful for me to try to help with the growing backlog. I believe that my communication skills are pretty good, but I recognise that I would probably have to do a fair amount of reading to equip myself to deal with people's requests. I see from WP:VRT that offers to help should be submitted here, but before spending too much time reading about what would be involved, I thought I'd ask you to be a critical friend - do you think this would be a productive use of my time/skills, or do you think I would be better sticking to developing my experience at NPP and helping bring down the backlog there.

Hello, Barkeep49. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Italian Massawa".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. CptViraj (Talk) 06:46, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

MrLinkinPark333 recently pointed out that on some of our Top importance pages about Children's literature awards there are many redlinks. The three pages with these redlinks are Caldecott Medal, Newbery Medal, and Carnegie Medal (with 0 existing redlinks in the other top importance award article - Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award). As of this newsletter there are 222 redlinks in those three articles. How many can we as a project create over the next 6 weeks? Could we even do better and see if we could create any that earn a Did You Know or even get it up to Good Article status?
As always feel free to head on over to the project discussion page if you find yourself in need of any help as we work to turn these notable entries on some of our most important articles blue.

Hi I noticed that you reverted my edit on Axios and as you rightly said in the summary I said this is not a problem for me. As you did the reverting I'd be interested on your opinion about my suggestion for an option 4 as this information has now been taken up by 3 and 1/2 RS (not a big fan of Huffpost myself) including one that specialises in marketing and media. From what I can gather your beef was about the reliability of the Huffpost source but from what I can gather nobody is actually challenging the facts including Sussman himself and this has now been picked and commented by 3 other sources all of whom are reliable as far as I know. cheers -- Dom from Paris ( talk) 15:26, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
Hello. I believe that you have removed the nomination for speedy deletion from this new Adam Dodek page.

On 14 June 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rodney Robinson, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Rodney Robinson, 2019 National Teacher of the Year, makes sure his former students at the Richmond Juvenile Detention Center register to vote? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rodney Robinson. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Rodney Robinson), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hello! I asked DeltaQuad this question a week ago, but she seems a little busy lately. Would you mind helping me out? About a week ago I was given a trial run with the WP:NPP permissions. My plan was to reduce the backlog by approving articles that clearly meets Wikipedia's inclusion policies, but once my week-long trial period expired I decided not to reapply. While looking at my patrol log I noticed that some articles are listed on the log as drafts or sandboxes, even though they were definitely in mainspace when I patrolled them. Do you know why that is? Did I do something wrong? Is there a way for me to fix it without the NPR permission? Thank you. Mcampany ( talk) 03:50, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

Architectural icon - this is a translation of a page from German Wiki.

You wanted an explantion and things have calmed down faster than I expected.
I explained the core issues at the time of the unblock. The problem is that we have a useful editor in conflict with an admin over the terms of an unblock. The admin has committed themselves to demanding assurances and the editor doesn’t want to give them in return for an unblock. Not an easy situation for either side to move from and since the admin has made the mistake of going for an indef rather than time limited block we can’t just wait it out.
The obvious solution is to remove the block at which point the editor is free to give whatever assurances they like without going back on their previous statement. Conflict resolution.
The reason I chose not to discuss it is that the admin had already made multiple statements making their position clear. This wasn’t a block based on anything secret. Any attempted discussion would have been a waste of time and time was important. For long standing committed editors being blocked hurts. Continuing to be blocked hurts. Hurting an editor while we waste time in a form discussion doesn’t help anybody.
As for why not leave it to Doc James? I have a lot of respect for Doc James’s abilities (even if I did not his record speaks for itself). And it is possible he would have come up with a form of words. But a form of words ground out under duress while an editor is hurting? Again that doesn’t really help anybody.
I’d argue that the outcome so far supports it being the right call.

I am having the sense I may be missing a couple steps or otherwise am doing a few things less efficiently than is ideal. Thanks. --- FULBERT ( talk) 17:24, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
After your explanation, I still didn't understand. After Katherine's agreement with you and some more words, I still didn't understand. It was only as I was writing a comment about not understanding that I finally understood. As a result, I aborted my comment. I have a strange and literal brain, and sometimes that limits my understanding of what people say, particularly if their phrasing doesn't comply with my demands (smile). In any event, I have not commented on any of the Fram pages during this lovely period. I should have stuck to my "rule". Take care and thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 17:02, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

I was have a look at this article - totally unsourced, horrible layout, probably COPYVIO image (haven't checked yet), very little content. I don't think there's enough promo language for an unambiguous G11 though, so I was going to draftify it - but Draft:Grezon already exists (in a pretty similar state to the article). Is this a situation where your page mover magic might be useful, or is there something else I should be thinking of? GirthSummit (blether) 16:53, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
Since ArbCom said in one of their findings of fact that the RfC was opened on May 8th by one of the involved editors, but discussion became contentious and it did not come to a resolution, I was thinking that we would just restart it. Dump the pages and pages of back and forth, ping the editors who've voted already, and move forward. But if you're close to a decision already and you think it's the better route, then that's cool.

Hello User talk:Barkeep49, I would like to thank you for reviewing my first Wiki page Malik Ofori. Please let me know if you have any questions or tips in improving the article. My page has been nominated for deletion on the grounds of WP:PROMO which I don't think it violates. Your assistance and help is welcomed and if you have time you can leave a comment on the discussion page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Malik Ofori to help save my page. Thanks Kofipedia ( talk) 12:31, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
I guess in marking those pages, I was hoping that I might be able to tempt reviewers to take a look at them - I didn't expect you to whizz through them all in one swoop! Much appreciated. I'm getting close to the minimum threshold for auto-patrolled, and eager to avoid adding unnecessarily to the NPP queue, but at the same time I'm troubled at the idea of being seen as hat collecting. Would you advise me to hold off for a while and build up a bigger body of work, or make an application once I've done 25 that were all my own work (currently working on the 24th)?

Welcome to the ninth newsletter from the Growth team!
The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.
The Growth team has existed for about one year. During that time, we have developed several features that we think can help increase retention. Though we are still gathering data to detect scientifically whether the features increase retention, we think that some of the features are ready to be deployed on more wikis that want to experiment with them. If your community is enthusiastic about welcoming newcomers, we encourage you to contact us so that we can verify together if your wiki is eligible.
Then, go through the checklist to start the process of getting these features:

Here's your award for being the second editor within a few hours to fail to check the article's history before requesting a previously declined speedy deletion:
Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
Seriously though, there is a reason why checking the page's history is advised before adding tags to an article, so in future, please be more careful. A new editor who innocently recreated a page just to have a G4 tag appear is bad enough but unavoidable. The same tag being added three times and the same message being posted to their talk page three times is discouraging and something we should really avoid. Regards So Why 15:11, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

I am still kicking around ideas in my head for a new proposal. I outlined some of the characteristics I thought would be desirable on an old version of User:Isaacl/Community/Fostering collaborative behaviour: see [5]. (I've since re-purposed the page to focus on general idea collection around the theme of changing our processes so that poor behaviour is a losing strategy, thereby reducing the need to enforce behavioural standards.)
I've previously discussed ideas for professional mediation (see User:Isaacl/Community#Professional mediation), though moderation was probably the word I should have used. In the context of requests for administrative privileges, I've made suggestions on how to structure the discussion in a way more conducive to determining consensus (see User:Isaacl/Community#Problems with multi-threaded conversation, and Wikipedia:2015 administrator election reform/Phase I/RfC#N. Determine granting of adminship based on consensus of pros and cons). I plan to incorporate some ideas from here into my proposal. I have zero illusions that the proposal will get accepted, but I'd like to lay out in writing its pros and cons, as a basis for exploring other ways of managing content disputes. isaacl ( talk) 18:37, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi - I'm writing an article about a listed building (I know - I'm nothing if not predictable), and since there weren't any images of it available on Commons, I contacted the current owners, Walkers Shortbread (it's now their head office). Their marketing person has responded, using an official company e-mail address, saying that they are happy o donate some imagery. I wanted to make the process of donating as easy as possible for them - can they send an e-mail to OTRS with the images attached, and is there any specific form of words they need to use to indicate that they release them under a CC license? Or is this something that I can do myself if they just e-mail the pictures to me?
(I realise that, as an 'OTRS agent', I really ought to know the answer to this already; I'm afraid that you were right with regard to how difficult that interface is to get your head around, I'm in two minds about whether to persevere with it or just ask for my rights to be revoked, it's really not simple...).

Hi Barkeep, I wonder if you would be willing to take a quick look at something for me. See Still Nasty. It was marked as patrolled, but it contains no assertion that it would meet WP:NALBUM, and it's entirely unreferenced except an EL to a track listing (no review) on AllMusic. I can't find anything at all online except for UGC fan sites, and a couple of passing mentions in articles about the artist. I think it ought to be redirected to Fresh_Kid_Ice#Discography, but I've already had a run in with the author about another very similar article they wrote recently, and I don't want to give them the impression that I'm hounding or harassing them. Would be interested to hear your thoughts. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 20:33, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi - sorry for bothering you with this, but I've screwed up and am somewhat embarrassed about it. I've finished the draft article I mentioned previously ([ [6]]), just waiting for those pictures to be sent across. I was going to publish it, but there was already an article at Aberlour House, about a school that used to operate out of the building, and which retained the name after it moved to new premises. I think what I should have done was start a discussion at WP:RM about it; what I actually did was move it myself, not once but three times as I wasn't happy with the names I chose, and then realised that of course it leaves a redirect in place so I couldn't perform my move anyway.
I do think that the description of the building should be at Aberlour House, and that Aberlour House (school) is the better title for the article about the school; I guess an alternative would be to have my article at Aberlour House (building), and a disambig page at the main title pointing at each of them. But either way, I can't do any of that as I don't have the necessary privileges. What should I do - start a conversation at WP:RM and describe what I've done? Or is it too late for that now, and I need an admin's help to mop up the mess that I've made? Cheers... GirthSummit (blether) 12:49, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi there, I just thought I respond on your talk page so as not to clog up the already busy talk page, feel free to ping any relevant users who it may concern. I definitely agree with what you are saying - good quality reviews are important however long they may take. That being said, some reviews may take a short amount of time (the article may have a majority of references as books, so cannot be checked; there are few images, so it doesn't take long to check each image for fair use; the article is an easy read and everyone reads at different paces etc.) so it isn't fair to base the quality of reviews on the time a review may take. Also, there are 3 participants, only one of whom has actually reviewed (last I checked) so imposing strict 'rules' for something as low-key as this isn't really worth the time (in my opinion).

Barkeep49, I noticed that you added I'm confused about timing of this given some of the sig dates
when checking
Lee Vilenski's review in the GAN drive. Here's what appears to be happening:
Lee Vilenski has boilerplate that they insert in their review, and unfortunately this text has hardcoded sig dates. So the introductory section up top just under the standard review header is signed with a February 2018 date, and the request near the bottom that the nominator consider taking a look at Lee Vilenski's own GA noms is signed with the June or July 2019 date (I'm too lazy to go back and check which). What I'd like to suggest is that Lee Vilenski change these hardcoded dates in his boilerplate file to the standard four tildes, so the dates are newly generated when they copy the pre-existing text in when creating the new review page—it'll be less confusing not to have dates from last year in a new review. (Short answer: you can ignore those two way early dates; if you need to check further, just View history for the review page.)
I've also updated the article name links in Lee Vilenski's subsection in the Participants section of the GAN drive page so they're formatted as specified in the previous section: the review page to the left and the article name to the right, including for the review in progress, of 7/27.

Hello Barkeep49/Archives,
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

The 'boss' of Phab has been making odd comments again. He appears to be in charge there and have the final word, but he seems to forget that the devs are our servants and not our bosses and is probably not aware either how much the WMF has sunk in the Community's esteem in recent times. I have a complaint drafted about his regular dismissal of volunteers (IIRC, he banned Winged Blades of Godric once) but I am at loss to know where to post it. I doubt whether it would do any good anyway - the WMF is a law unto itself and considers itself beyond reproach. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 02:33, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
You'll probably want to try your hand according some of the rights at PERM and that would be good because it will be one place less for me to watch - nowadays I generally confine myself to the NPR right. There is a handful of admins who work at PERM, not with much regularity, but they do a good job and there are rarely any backlogs. You may want to put the individual PERM pages on your watchlist. If you are interested, I have a personal set of NPR criteria here. MusikAnimal has made the work so much easier with his scripts and bots. The new time-limited feature is useful - it's one way of avoiding permanent hat collectors, I just wish it had been thought of right from the beginning. PERM is not RfA, I don't take much notice of non-admin comments. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 17:57, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

There was a clear consensus to delete (and then redirect, per discretion). I, GSS, Rockphed, Vanamonde and Sitush were in favor of deletion while Epinoia was in favor of redirect. Hyperbolick made a !vote w/o any reason (I still provided a rebut) and shall be outright discounted. That leaves us with Nemonoman who is the creator of the article and Randy, both of whom wanted to keep it. Even if I consider the sheer pathetic quality of Randy's arguments (which coiled down to the fact that since the article had stayed for so long, we shall let it remain), I see a 6:2 ratio or a 75% percentage in favor of deletion/redirect, numerically. That's enough to pull the trigger than relist it. ∯WBG converse 09:48, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi greetings, I've a doubt on the notability of a draft in AfC-- Draft:Smitha Antony. Kindly please help. It is about a violinist. It is only mentioned about one award received by the person. It seems a minor award (but it is given as a memorial of a renowned violinist named Balabhaskar). There is no mention about any other awards (poorly pass ANYBIO). The sources given are much reliable. It gives the validity of the achievement of award. Also, I think the draft slightly violates the NPOV. Other issues (underlinked, bare URLs, etc) can be fixed. Also kindly please see this thread. Hope you'll help. Thank you.-- PATH SLOPU 13:56, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello. This is spam, forgive me. I'm gonna go through various GAR pages and look for people who appear active. All I'm asking for is a review, not asking for any specific outcome (i.e., not begging for a KEEP). The GAR is Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Bengal famine of 1943/1. If you review and Delist, that's OK, so long as it gets a meaningful review...
The article is big, detailed and has a terrible history in various Content Review forums. In fact, it has been residing in Content Review Hell for a couple years now... In return for a review (not a specific outcome) I'll do any kinda gnomish or research work you wish. Forex, I love converting inconsistent referencing into {{{sfn}}}

Hi! I was just wondering why my GA reviews of Slabinja and Mill Basin, Brooklyn were marked down for the GA backlog drive. Was there an issue with the reviews? I can't imagine they were too short. Let me know! Thank you. Ganesha811 ( talk) 14:15, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
Barkeep49, I hope you don't mind, but I had trouble seeing the new tiny red X on the GAN drive page, so I made a modification to your change of to ✗ on the GAN drive page—I changed it to , which had been used for a couple of entries (Kges1901 and Willbb234), and seemed to be a good compromise between the aggressive "cross" template and the nearly invisible "n&" template.
If you want to fine tune the size—if the "n" template is still a bit too much—the cross template allows you to specify the size (default is 20), though it is proportionally taller and redder than the "n" template. In either event, you'll want to change your Gacheck template, and let Lee Vilenski know so their review-checking sig template can be updated to use the same X template. (I'm not pinging here because I figured you'd want to decide on which template to use before having them go through the trouble of updating their sig.)

Is there any way you can restore all the pages, at least to a draft? I acknowledged that some of them need work and/or sources added.

"Bans apply to all editing, good or bad". I admit to some mixed feelings about this but that is our policy. A few of the articles had non-trivial work by an IP editor and so I have restored those articles. Best, Barkeep49 ( talk) 23:03, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
Sure.
"Editors are site-banned only as a last resort, usually for extreme or very persistent problems that have not been resolved by lesser sanctions and that often resulted in considerable disruption or stress to other editors. A site ban is not merely a request to avoid editing "unless they behave". The measure of a site ban is that even if the editor were to make good edits, permitting them to re-join the community is perceived to pose enough risk of disruption, issues, or harm, that they may not edit at all, even if the edits seem good.A number of banned editors have used "good editing" (such as anti-vandalism edits) tactically, to try and game the banning system, "prove" they cannot be banned, or force editors into the paradox of either allowing banned editing or removing good content. Even if such editors make only good edits, they will be rebanned for evasion."

Greetings, @ Barkeep49:.

The page under review in question is /info/en/?search=Peter_Parker_(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe) and I have not seen this email / question feature before that generated this (helpful) note.

I saw your comment on Fram's RFA, and I realised that I didn't know there was "conventional wisdom about reconfirmation RfAs". I have to admit that I've only paid sporadic attention to the various discussions about RFAs over the years, and I realise that I have no idea what the conventional wisdom is. On one hand, I could see a tendency to rally around your own - if you know the kind of thankless task adminning can be, you feel the need to support other admins. On the other hand, because admins have been around longer than the average editor, there's more time to acquire and hold grudges.
So I'm curious - what's the conventional wisdom on this? Guettarda ( talk) 12:51, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

The text of the Newfields draft is based entirely off of the Indianapolis Museum of Art article, as discussed here. I looked back at the latest revision before the article in question was published on 3/23/2016, and found that the wikipedia text predates the ArchiTravel. In fact, the text was first introduced in 2011 with this edit that completely overhauled the article. I just wanted to show that there was no copyright violation on my or anyone on Wikipedia's part in this instance and make sure the current version of the Indianapolis Museum of Art goes untouched, as the part in question is very well written. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cerebral726 ( talk • contribs) 13:42, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
Hey there. Here's a bit of a weird one. Enköpings SK is an article about a multi-sports club. However, the vast majority of the article focused on their football team. The title for the football team, Enköpings SK FK, is a redirect to the main sports club. A rather new user cut and paste most of the info from the club article onto the redirect, creating a page. It is a cut and paste move. But you can't really move the club page to the football page, since there is history which pertains to the club only. Perhaps a WP:SPLIT?

Hi Barkeep, as NPP coordinator I hope you don't mind me asking you for some help. I'm feeling harrassed over at Talk:Scientists for Future, to the point that it is upsetting me. I would like to walk away but feel I need to defend myself against false accusations of disruption and being subjected to some blame game that I'm simply not interested in participating in but at the same time will not tolerate the harrassment I'm getting for this. I encountered the page Scientists for Future in the NPP feed, I noticed a whole section that had been copied from a website, removed this section with justification that we shouldn't reproduce content verbatim from another source and that it was somewhat promotional to do so. Then I marked the page as reviewed. Another editor objected, and reverted my removal of the content. I removed the content a second time repeating my justification which I think is sound but was again reverted. The editor involved took it to the article talk page and I engaged in discussion. I un-reviewed the page to get a second reviewers opition. In the meantime an uninvolved admin revdel'd the copied content. But since then I'm still getting attacked for removing the content in the first place and editors are arguing with the admins over non-negotiable copyright policy. As I said, I want to walk away, but if my username and my actions are being mentioned I feel compelled to defend myself. What should I do? Polyamorph ( talk) 21:07, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi! (I did not want to bring this up publicly without knowing the relevant history of discussions) This one user, Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/0lesson, has persistently tried to publish a blogger's bio and now their "book". After however many usernames, now they are just bouncing around with IPs. Before I can CSD their creations/submissions (which is basically copy-paste for them at this point), drafts get reviewed multiple times.

Hi Barkeep49, and thanks for closing the Taki's Magazine RfC on the reliable sources noticeboard. In your opinion, would it be more accurate to designate Taki's Magazine as "generally unreliable" or "deprecated" on the perennial sources list based on the result of that RfC? — Newslinger talk 22:47, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
"There is also agreement that even as an opinion publication this source should be avoided outside of very limited exceptions"is helpful to you or others in translating it to RSP. Best, Barkeep49 ( talk) 00:14, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi Barkeep49. Leaving aside my belief that the RfC was bad, I focus on your closing remark: "There is also agreement that even as an opinion publication this source should be avoided outside of very limited exceptions (e.g. WP:ABOUTSELF)." I looked at editors' comments containing the word "opinion" and mark them as (agree) or (disagree): (agree) 1. "Opinion is never a reliable source for anything other than the view of the author, and I don't think their authors are notable enough to have views worth including."; (agree) 2. "its published opinions are very likely to constitute undue weight"; (agree) 3. "mostly UNDUE for opinion"; (disagree) 4. "so this is an attempt to prevent cites of opinions not cites of facts. Read WP:NOTCENSORED."; (disagree) 5. "Use only for attributed statements of opinion"; (disagree) 6. "So then at worst its RS for its own opinions ..."; (agree) 7. "it doesn't have much use an opinion piece" (disagree) 8. "to be potentially used exclusively as the source of original opinion material". Thus, using a very generous interpretation of remarks saying "likely" or "mostly" or "much" as "agree", I see that four agreed and four disagreed, i.e. said opinions are okay. Therefore I am asking: how did you come to your conclusion? Peter Gulutzan ( talk) 21:22, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Talk:The Matrix (franchise)/Archive 2#Request for Comment - Crediting The Wachowskis
I appreciate your time in taking this one on. It was a lot to sift through for sure. Just curious if you can clarify the strong consensus you detected in your analysis. For the article lead and body, I agree that across the board a large majority supported it. However, for the infobox area, which was treated somewhat separately in many of the responses and discussion, consensus was more divided (15 vs 10). While it was still a consensus in favor of The Wachowskis, that portion wasn't exactly what I'd deem "strong". Also, I'm pretty sure WanderingWanda and others that supported option A wanted this RfC to extend beyond just The Matrix film article. As mentioned in the discussion, it was advertised to the other Wachowski film article talk pages. Not sure if you want to address that in the closing remarks as well.

Hi! The full version of this newsletter issue has a lot of information. I am sending a short version to talk pages.
The most important information to know is that draft 2 is finished, that the single long script has been divided into many smaller scripts, and that portions of the script have been prioritized for production.
Due to budget constraints, not all scripts can be produced within the scope of the current pilot grant, but the other scripts will remain available for potential future production. (This project feels somewhat like doing a vehicle repair when the mechanic starts to work on the engine, and once the mechanic gets under the engine and starts to work, they discover that accomplishing their objective requires twice as much time as they first had estimated.) However, nothing is lost, so do not fear. Overall, my assessment (me being User:Pine) is that this project is producing a lot of good output and is generally a valuable pilot project.
For more information, including my requests for your feedback, please see the full version of the newsletter.

With the completion of our project banner project, we have a large backlog of unassessed articles. Doing article rating is a great way to find interesting articles with-in our project's scope and to also find articles that were incorrectly tagged. This project will hopefully let us better monitor and aid in the development the many articles that this project supports. Thanks to Legoktm for all his work in making this happen.
Looking for information on a book? Try out the new Children's literature custom search engine. This custom google search engine will look at designated sites for information. Included so far are Kirkus Reviews, School Library Journal, Horn Book, and Publisher's Weekly. If you have ideas for other sites which should be added start a discussion on our project talk page.

Welcome to the sixth newsletter from the Growth team!
The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.
The Growth team has been working on features to increase new editor retention for the last seven months. We have made a lot of progress and learned a lot, and we've just finished planning for our next three months. During the next three months, we're going to focus on iterations of the help panel and the newcomer homepage. We have decided not to start the engagement emails project, because we think that we will be able to do better work by improving the projects we have already started. Specifically, these are our team goals:
We have recently decided on the specifications for an initial version that we can deploy and iterate on:
We're currently running live user tests on this configuration. Future work will include adapting the homepage for mobile, working on a task recommendation module, and considering how to encourage newcomers to visit their homepage.
During the last month, the help panel was deployed on Vietnamese Wikipedia, adding it to Czech and Korean Wikipedias.As of 2019-03-14:
We have been analyzing the data around usage, and we'll be publishing numbers in the coming weeks. At a high level, we see at least some users are being helped by the panel, with many clicking on links, running searches, and asking questions. We do not yet see any problems that have arisen from the help panel. Therefore, we think that the help panel is generally a positive feature – though data is still coming that will allow us to see its numerical impact. If other wikis are interested in using the help panel, please contact us on our team's talk page, in the language of your choice.
Over the past month, we have iterated on the help panel to take into account the usage patterns we are seeing. You can see in the accompanying image how the help panel currently looks.
We want to see whether users find the "search" useful. If so, we may spend time on improving search results. We're also looking forward to learning whether exposing the help panel in "read" mode in more namespaces will increase usage.

On 9 April 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Florida shuffle, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that drug users doing the Florida shuffle move between multiple rehab centers so that each center may bill the user's insurance company as much as $40,000? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Florida shuffle), 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.

Hi,
I noticed you expressed an interest in this. I'd be willing to help out or at least give my perspective. I've never been involved in proposing policy changes, and I obviously have a COI, though I think that makes my perspective useful. This Wired article just makes things that much worse: https://www.wired.com/story/want-to-know-how-to-build-a-better-democracy-ask-wikipedia/
Now Wired is reporting that Wikipedians will get you back if you follow disclosure policy by including your disclosure in the article about the subject. If Wikipedia still wants organizations and individuals to disclose, it really needs a "rebranding" of "paid editing" for those who never actually edit articles - I think the idea that article subjects or their reps are using the official "Contact Us" mechanism is what needs to be conveyed. /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Contact_us/Article_subjects
This failure to characterize disclosing editors as article subject reps asking for a correction of some sort, like an ordinary Contact Us for any publisher, really could kill disclosure. Everything could go back to UPE. BTW, I'm confident my major clients would be thrilled if disclosed requests were all handled by emails, or even a ticketed queue for Contact Us off of Talk. The type of clients I work with have an entirely different perspective than Wikipedia spammers.

I took a look at this with a view to reviewing it. It's entirely unsourced, is OK from a COPYVIO point of view, so the flowchart tells me to tag it and move on. However, it obviously discusses several named persons (whom I assume may be still living), and seems to ascribe some views and motives to them - given that it's entirely unsourced, that makes me rather uncomfortable. What would you do with a page like this? Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 22:57, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi. I've noticed that you tend to mark a bunch of drafts as under review, and then often don't actually review them. Right now, I see about a half dozen drafts in this state for over an hour.

Hi, I've got a quick question if you've got a minute? I declined this draft: Draft:Spanish Royal Physics Society (RSEF) on the grounds that none of it was referenced - if had a couple of external links, but no inline citations. The author has asked if I can review the decision, because it's a direct translation from Spanish Wikipedia. How would you treat a case like this - are the external links enough to accept the article, and just tag is for the style of citations / needing more sources?

Welcome to the seventh newsletter from the Growth team!
The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.
Like the other Growth team features, this will be deployed in a controlled experiment, in which half of newcomers will have access to their homepage and half will not. Users with the feature will be able to access it by clicking their username at the top of their browser, and it will only be available on desktop -- not mobile. Experienced users who want to see their homepage will be able to turn it on in their preferences.
Wikis receiving the newcomer homepage can expect these things:
The most important piece developed for the homepage over the last month is the "start module", which gives newcomers clear actions to take when they are new: add/confirm their email, go through a tutorial, start their user page. We learned about the need for this module from user tests last month. The next priorities for the newcomer homepage are:

Hello Barkeep49! With support of the Tree of Life community, I have decided to start up a newsletter for that WikiProject. I have a question for you relating to your similar experience with WP:Children's literature. How does subscribing work? Since TOL is so huge and encompasses very many sub-projects, I think the proposed newsletter should be something where everyone opts in rather than basing off a participant list. I presume there's a bot that delivers to talk pages? It's something I'm hoping to figure out in the next month or so, so your input would be appreciated.

My apologies for my missteps around preventing the deletion of this article; I don't have much experience in maintaining Wikipedia content. I do however have a fair amount of experience in Java EE development, and obviously chronicling the history of the Java EE specification is important to me personally. I suspect you don't have experience in this field due to your impression that Java EE is a piece of software, or a collection of software (available to purchase or download for instance). The evolution of this specification and the actions of the JCP committee members has changed, and will continue to change the course of a multi-billion-dollar industry. The individual technologies included in each evolution is important. Each version could have its own page like C++ Standardization (table), but I think it's best to have this history chronicled in a single article. There is an elegance to this as it follows the approach to its non-enterprise counterpart, Java SE.

Hi Barkeep49. I'm new to monitoring the new pages feed and was wondering if you could offer me some guidance. I noticed that patrollers will sometimes move undersourced articles to draftspace, as you did with Winterfest (event). How do you decide when to incubate an article instead of nominating it for deletion? In the case of the Winterfest article, I'm not seeing any potential for it to be expanded with independent sources, so I'm not sure that incubating was the right call. – Lord Bolingbroke ( talk) 01:30, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
Welcome to a special newsletter from the Growth team! This special newsletter is not about Wikimedia Foundation Growth team projects. Instead, it is a call for submissions for the Community Growth space at Wikimania 2019. We think that many people who receive this newsletter may have something valuable to contribute to this space at Wikimania. We haven't translated the newsletter, because Wikimania's language is English.
Please see below for the message from the organizers of the Community Growth space at Wikimania.
---
Wikimania 2019 is organized into 19 “ spaces”, which are all accepting proposals for sessions. This message comes from the team organizing the Community Growth space.
Since you are interested b Growth team projects, and potentially involved in welcoming newcomers initiatives on your wiki, we would like to invite you to submit a proposal to the Community Growth space because of the actions you’ve done around newcomers on wikis. The deadline for submission is June 1. See below for Community Growth submission topics and session formats. Topics and sessions have to be in English.
In the Community Growth space, we will come together for discussions, presentations, and workshops that address these questions:
Recommended topics: please see this link for the list for the list of recommended topics. If you do not plan to submit a proposal, you can also suggest additional topics here. If your topic does not fit into our space, remember that there are 18 other spaces that could welcome you sharing your knowledge and perspective.
Types of session. We prefer sessions that are participatory, interactive, promote conversations, and give a voice to parts of our movement that are heard less often. Please see this link for the list of recommended session formats.
Poster submissions. Posters are also a good way to introduce a topic, or show some results of an action. Please consider submitting one!
More information about the Community Growth space, topics, and submission formats is available on the proposal page.
Please submit your proposal. The reviews will happen at the beginning of June.
If you have questions about Wikimania in general, please ask them on the Wikimania wiki.

Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:
Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.
Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

With regard to your comment at WP:Deletion_review/Log/2019_May_10... You said you couldn't review the article?
Many deleted articles are captured, shortly before their deletion was finalized, at the deletionpedia. The version of the Olympia Nelson article, at http://deletionpedia.org/en/Olympia_Nelson is not the very final version - where the section on her second big event, the 2013 op-ed, was expanded. Her op-ed was widely republished. An Australian public affairs show devoted an entire episode to her. Scholars cite her.
I think this second event, and the many interviews it triggered, and the episode devoted to her on national TV, means the original claims of BLP1E were complete nonsense.
You wrote "...especially about someone who would have been a child in what was being written about..." Ms Nelson made a huge effort to defend her late mother's artistic choices. She said this was her all-time favourite photo of herself. I suggest the fact that Ms Nelson defended the photo in multiple RS means wikipedia coverage will not offend her.
Rather, if we are protecting her, against her will, surely that is highly offensive?
Doesn't the assumption that Ms Nelson needs protection imply the wikipedia has decided that, in spite of her vocal defense of the image, she is some kind of victim? If I were in her position I would resent the heck out of this unwelcome protection. Geo Swan ( talk) 05:53, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Barkeep49, thanks for closing WP:RSN § RfC: Dexerto so soon after my request. Could you please make a couple of small spelling corrections in the closing summary: from depreciating to deprecating, and from depreciated to deprecated (to be consistent with Wikipedia:Deprecated sources)? The words are spelled similarly, but the meaning is quite different. — Newslinger talk 21:04, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello. I came across your username while on the Good Articles nomination page. Based on your userpage, I see you're making articles for every book that won/was honored for a Caldecott or Newbery. I was curious if you would like to help me make articles for the respective authors as well for these awards. As you can see, Caldecott Medal almost has 40 bio redlinks while Newbery Medal has almost 20. It would be nice to have them all blue - especially all the women as I'm a member of Women in Red. Let me know if you're interested :) . -- MrLinkinPark333 ( talk) 01:24, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi - I was reading this conversation, and wondered whether it would be useful for me to try to help with the growing backlog. I believe that my communication skills are pretty good, but I recognise that I would probably have to do a fair amount of reading to equip myself to deal with people's requests. I see from WP:VRT that offers to help should be submitted here, but before spending too much time reading about what would be involved, I thought I'd ask you to be a critical friend - do you think this would be a productive use of my time/skills, or do you think I would be better sticking to developing my experience at NPP and helping bring down the backlog there. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 17:42, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello, Barkeep49. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Italian Massawa".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. CptViraj (Talk) 06:46, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
This newsletter sees us embark on a project drive around article creation of some medium, or higher, importance topics that are currently redlinks. Read more and consider joining the work.
A Sick Day for Amos McGee Review by

The Lion & the Mouse Review by
Farang Rak Tham |
MrLinkinPark333 recently pointed out that on some of our Top importance pages about Children's literature awards there are many redlinks. The three pages with these redlinks are Caldecott Medal, Newbery Medal, and Carnegie Medal (with 0 existing redlinks in the other top importance award article - Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award). As of this newsletter there are 222 redlinks in those three articles. How many can we as a project create over the next 6 weeks? Could we even do better and see if we could create any that earn a Did You Know or even get it up to Good Article status?
As always feel free to head on over to the project discussion page if you find yourself in need of any help as we work to turn these notable entries on some of our most important articles blue.

Hi I noticed that you reverted my edit on Axios and as you rightly said in the summary I said this is not a problem for me. As you did the reverting I'd be interested on your opinion about my suggestion for an option 4 as this information has now been taken up by 3 and 1/2 RS (not a big fan of Huffpost myself) including one that specialises in marketing and media. From what I can gather your beef was about the reliability of the Huffpost source but from what I can gather nobody is actually challenging the facts including Sussman himself and this has now been picked and commented by 3 other sources all of whom are reliable as far as I know. cheers -- Dom from Paris ( talk) 15:26, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

On 14 June 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rodney Robinson, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Rodney Robinson, 2019 National Teacher of the Year, makes sure his former students at the Richmond Juvenile Detention Center register to vote? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rodney Robinson. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Rodney Robinson), 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.

Hello! I asked DeltaQuad this question a week ago, but she seems a little busy lately. Would you mind helping me out? About a week ago I was given a trial run with the WP:NPP permissions. My plan was to reduce the backlog by approving articles that clearly meets Wikipedia's inclusion policies, but once my week-long trial period expired I decided not to reapply. While looking at my patrol log I noticed that some articles are listed on the log as drafts or sandboxes, even though they were definitely in mainspace when I patrolled them. Do you know why that is? Did I do something wrong? Is there a way for me to fix it without the NPR permission? Thank you. Mcampany ( talk) 03:50, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

You wanted an explantion and things have calmed down faster than I expected.
I explained the core issues at the time of the unblock. The problem is that we have a useful editor in conflict with an admin over the terms of an unblock. The admin has committed themselves to demanding assurances and the editor doesn’t want to give them in return for an unblock. Not an easy situation for either side to move from and since the admin has made the mistake of going for an indef rather than time limited block we can’t just wait it out.
The obvious solution is to remove the block at which point the editor is free to give whatever assurances they like without going back on their previous statement. Conflict resolution.
The reason I chose not to discuss it is that the admin had already made multiple statements making their position clear. This wasn’t a block based on anything secret. Any attempted discussion would have been a waste of time and time was important. For long standing committed editors being blocked hurts. Continuing to be blocked hurts. Hurting an editor while we waste time in a form discussion doesn’t help anybody.
As for why not leave it to Doc James? I have a lot of respect for Doc James’s abilities (even if I did not his record speaks for itself). And it is possible he would have come up with a form of words. But a form of words ground out under duress while an editor is hurting? Again that doesn’t really help anybody.
I’d argue that the outcome so far supports it being the right call.

I am continuing to learn how to review new pages, and am wondering if there is a certain workflow you follow, and if so, is it something easy to share? For example, I would find it helpful to see an example of the process you use from the point of deciding you will patrol some pages to what exactly you do and using which tools to do that. I am having the sense I may be missing a couple steps or otherwise am doing a few things less efficiently than is ideal. Thanks. --- FULBERT ( talk) 17:24, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
After your explanation, I still didn't understand. After Katherine's agreement with you and some more words, I still didn't understand. It was only as I was writing a comment about not understanding that I finally understood. As a result, I aborted my comment. I have a strange and literal brain, and sometimes that limits my understanding of what people say, particularly if their phrasing doesn't comply with my demands (smile). In any event, I have not commented on any of the Fram pages during this lovely period. I should have stuck to my "rule". Take care and thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 17:02, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
I was reviewing a new page today and noticed some odd behavior. The article Pride Parade in Nepal existed and is related to a new article on a different topic, Nepal Pride Parade.

I was have a look at this article - totally unsourced, horrible layout, probably COPYVIO image (haven't checked yet), very little content. I don't think there's enough promo language for an unambiguous G11 though, so I was going to draftify it - but Draft:Grezon already exists (in a pretty similar state to the article). Is this a situation where your page mover magic might be useful, or is there something else I should be thinking of? GirthSummit (blether) 16:53, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
Since ArbCom said in one of their findings of fact that the RfC was opened on May 8th by one of the involved editors, but discussion became contentious and it did not come to a resolution, I was thinking that we would just restart it. Dump the pages and pages of back and forth, ping the editors who've voted already, and move forward. But if you're close to a decision already and you think it's the better route, then that's cool.

I guess in marking those pages, I was hoping that I might be able to tempt reviewers to take a look at them - I didn't expect you to whizz through them all in one swoop! Much appreciated. I'm getting close to the minimum threshold for auto-patrolled, and eager to avoid adding unnecessarily to the NPP queue, but at the same time I'm troubled at the idea of being seen as hat collecting. Would you advise me to hold off for a while and build up a bigger body of work, or make an application once I've done 25 that were all my own work (currently working on the 24th)?

Here's your award for being the second editor within a few hours to fail to check the article's history before requesting a previously declined speedy deletion:
Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
Seriously though, there is a reason why checking the page's history is advised before adding tags to an article, so in future, please be more careful. A new editor who innocently recreated a page just to have a G4 tag appear is bad enough but unavoidable. The same tag being added three times and the same message being posted to their talk page three times is discouraging and something we should really avoid. Regards So Why 15:11, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

I am still kicking around ideas in my head for a new proposal. I outlined some of the characteristics I thought would be desirable on an old version of User:Isaacl/Community/Fostering collaborative behaviour: see [5]. (I've since re-purposed the page to focus on general idea collection around the theme of changing our processes so that poor behaviour is a losing strategy, thereby reducing the need to enforce behavioural standards.)
I've previously discussed ideas for professional mediation (see User:Isaacl/Community#Professional mediation), though moderation was probably the word I should have used. In the context of requests for administrative privileges, I've made suggestions on how to structure the discussion in a way more conducive to determining consensus (see User:Isaacl/Community#Problems with multi-threaded conversation, and Wikipedia:2015 administrator election reform/Phase I/RfC#N. Determine granting of adminship based on consensus of pros and cons). I plan to incorporate some ideas from here into my proposal. I have zero illusions that the proposal will get accepted, but I'd like to lay out in writing its pros and cons, as a basis for exploring other ways of managing content disputes. isaacl ( talk) 18:37, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi - I'm writing an article about a listed building (I know - I'm nothing if not predictable), and since there weren't any images of it available on Commons, I contacted the current owners, Walkers Shortbread (it's now their head office). Their marketing person has responded, using an official company e-mail address, saying that they are happy o donate some imagery. I wanted to make the process of donating as easy as possible for them - can they send an e-mail to OTRS with the images attached, and is there any specific form of words they need to use to indicate that they release them under a CC license? Or is this something that I can do myself if they just e-mail the pictures to me?
(I realise that, as an 'OTRS agent', I really ought to know the answer to this already; I'm afraid that you were right with regard to how difficult that interface is to get your head around, I'm in two minds about whether to persevere with it or just ask for my rights to be revoked, it's really not simple...).
Any advice you can give would, as always, be greatly appreciated. GirthSummit (blether) 11:45, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi Barkeep, I wonder if you would be willing to take a quick look at something for me. See Still Nasty. It was marked as patrolled, but it contains no assertion that it would meet WP:NALBUM, and it's entirely unreferenced except an EL to a track listing (no review) on AllMusic. I can't find anything at all online except for UGC fan sites, and a couple of passing mentions in articles about the artist. I think it ought to be redirected to Fresh_Kid_Ice#Discography, but I've already had a run in with the author about another very similar article they wrote recently, and I don't want to give them the impression that I'm hounding or harassing them. Would be interested to hear your thoughts. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 20:33, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi - sorry for bothering you with this, but I've screwed up and am somewhat embarrassed about it. I've finished the draft article I mentioned previously ([ [6]]), just waiting for those pictures to be sent across. I was going to publish it, but there was already an article at Aberlour House, about a school that used to operate out of the building, and which retained the name after it moved to new premises. I think what I should have done was start a discussion at WP:RM about it; what I actually did was move it myself, not once but three times as I wasn't happy with the names I chose, and then realised that of course it leaves a redirect in place so I couldn't perform my move anyway.
I do think that the description of the building should be at Aberlour House, and that Aberlour House (school) is the better title for the article about the school; I guess an alternative would be to have my article at Aberlour House (building), and a disambig page at the main title pointing at each of them. But either way, I can't do any of that as I don't have the necessary privileges. What should I do - start a conversation at WP:RM and describe what I've done? Or is it too late for that now, and I need an admin's help to mop up the mess that I've made? Cheers... GirthSummit (blether) 12:49, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi there, I just thought I respond on your talk page so as not to clog up the already busy talk page, feel free to ping any relevant users who it may concern. I definitely agree with what you are saying - good quality reviews are important however long they may take. That being said, some reviews may take a short amount of time (the article may have a majority of references as books, so cannot be checked; there are few images, so it doesn't take long to check each image for fair use; the article is an easy read and everyone reads at different paces etc.) so it isn't fair to base the quality of reviews on the time a review may take. Also, there are 3 participants, only one of whom has actually reviewed (last I checked) so imposing strict 'rules' for something as low-key as this isn't really worth the time (in my opinion).

Barkeep49, I noticed that you added I'm confused about timing of this given some of the sig dates
when checking
Lee Vilenski's review in the GAN drive. Here's what appears to be happening:
Lee Vilenski has boilerplate that they insert in their review, and unfortunately this text has hardcoded sig dates. So the introductory section up top just under the standard review header is signed with a February 2018 date, and the request near the bottom that the nominator consider taking a look at Lee Vilenski's own GA noms is signed with the June or July 2019 date (I'm too lazy to go back and check which). What I'd like to suggest is that Lee Vilenski change these hardcoded dates in his boilerplate file to the standard four tildes, so the dates are newly generated when they copy the pre-existing text in when creating the new review page—it'll be less confusing not to have dates from last year in a new review. (Short answer: you can ignore those two way early dates; if you need to check further, just View history for the review page.)
I've also updated the article name links in Lee Vilenski's subsection in the Participants section of the GAN drive page so they're formatted as specified in the previous section: the review page to the left and the article name to the right, including for the review in progress, of 7/27.

Hello Barkeep49/Archives,
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

The 'boss' of Phab has been making odd comments again. He appears to be in charge there and have the final word, but he seems to forget that the devs are our servants and not our bosses and is probably not aware either how much the WMF has sunk in the Community's esteem in recent times. I have a complaint drafted about his regular dismissal of volunteers (IIRC, he banned Winged Blades of Godric once) but I am at loss to know where to post it. I doubt whether it would do any good anyway - the WMF is a law unto itself and considers itself beyond reproach. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 02:33, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
You'll probably want to try your hand according some of the rights at PERM and that would be good because it will be one place less for me to watch - nowadays I generally confine myself to the NPR right. There is a handful of admins who work at PERM, not with much regularity, but they do a good job and there are rarely any backlogs. You may want to put the individual PERM pages on your watchlist. If you are interested, I have a personal set of NPR criteria here. MusikAnimal has made the work so much easier with his scripts and bots. The new time-limited feature is useful - it's one way of avoiding permanent hat collectors, I just wish it had been thought of right from the beginning. PERM is not RfA, I don't take much notice of non-admin comments. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 17:57, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

There was a clear consensus to delete (and then redirect, per discretion). I, GSS, Rockphed, Vanamonde and Sitush were in favor of deletion while Epinoia was in favor of redirect. Hyperbolick made a !vote w/o any reason (I still provided a rebut) and shall be outright discounted. That leaves us with Nemonoman who is the creator of the article and Randy, both of whom wanted to keep it. Even if I consider the sheer pathetic quality of Randy's arguments (which coiled down to the fact that since the article had stayed for so long, we shall let it remain), I see a 6:2 ratio or a 75% percentage in favor of deletion/redirect, numerically. That's enough to pull the trigger than relist it. ∯WBG converse 09:48, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Barkeep49, I hope you don't mind, but I had trouble seeing the new tiny red X on the GAN drive page, so I made a modification to your change of to ✗ on the GAN drive page—I changed it to , which had been used for a couple of entries (Kges1901 and Willbb234), and seemed to be a good compromise between the aggressive "cross" template and the nearly invisible "n&" template.
If you want to fine tune the size—if the "n" template is still a bit too much—the cross template allows you to specify the size (default is 20), though it is proportionally taller and redder than the "n" template. In either event, you'll want to change your Gacheck template, and let Lee Vilenski know so their review-checking sig template can be updated to use the same X template. (I'm not pinging here because I figured you'd want to decide on which template to use before having them go through the trouble of updating their sig.)

A site ban is not merely a request to avoid editing "unless they behave". The measure of a site ban is that even if the editor were to make good edits, permitting them to re-join the community is perceived to pose enough risk of disruption, issues, or harm, that they may not edit at all, even if the edits seem good.A number of banned editors have used "good editing" (such as anti-vandalism edits) tactically, to try and game the banning system, "prove" they cannot be banned, or force editors into the paradox of either allowing banned editing or removing good content. Even if such editors make only good edits, they will be rebanned for evasion."

I can't deny it - I like hats. I've got an old bowler hat that lives on a shelf in the classroom, to be brought out once per year when I do 'Victorian day' with Year 4 - the anticipation of seeing me in it makes the whole thing that little bit more special for them, but secretly I get a real joy out of putting it on - the right hat changes your outlook. :) GirthSummit (blether) 22:21, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

One of the things that is generally incumbent on coordinators is checking out the performance logs from time to time and handing out the appropriate barnstars. It's something that somewhat lapsed when ICPH was no longer so available, but I had the impression that it made a difference. Of course it's entirely up to you depending on the time you have.

Greetings, @ Barkeep49:. I have a NPP question for you about something I have not seen before, namely a note that a reviewer left on an article Talk page that produced an email icon I have not come across before. The page under review in question is /info/en/?search=Peter_Parker_(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe) and I have not seen this email / question feature before that generated this (helpful) note. Can you shed some light on this manner of adding a comment that appears in the NPP Curation tool? Thanks. --- FULBERT ( talk) 21:12, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
I saw your comment on Fram's RFA, and I realised that I didn't know there was "conventional wisdom about reconfirmation RfAs". I have to admit that I've only paid sporadic attention to the various discussions about RFAs over the years, and I realise that I have no idea what the conventional wisdom is. On one hand, I could see a tendency to rally around your own - if you know the kind of thankless task adminning can be, you feel the need to support other admins. On the other hand, because admins have been around longer than the average editor, there's more time to acquire and hold grudges.
So I'm curious - what's the conventional wisdom on this? Guettarda ( talk) 12:51, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Can I ask how you concluded that there was a consensus to merge at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2019 US Open – Boys' Singles Qualifying? From my perspective as the nominator of the AFD, the arguments made in favour of merging Jr qualifying draws "at best" would be put at the bottom of the Jr draws, not as a separate entity.
and their is still some use for these results instead of just deleting it outright
are weak and not policy based.

The article A Big Mooncake for Little Star you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:A Big Mooncake for Little Star for issues which need to be addressed.

Hi greetings, I've a doubt on an article Max Lord (baseball) while reviewing process. The article is about a baseball player who had participated in Olympics. Thus we can see the notability. But there is no references in the article and it is only a single line. Can we review it or move it to draftspace? Please help.-- PATH SLOPU 11:47, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

The text of the Newfields draft is based entirely off of the Indianapolis Museum of Art article, as discussed here. I looked back at the latest revision before the article in question was published on 3/23/2016, and found that the wikipedia text predates the ArchiTravel. In fact, the text was first introduced in 2011 with this edit that completely overhauled the article. I just wanted to show that there was no copyright violation on my or anyone on Wikipedia's part in this instance and make sure the current version of the Indianapolis Museum of Art goes untouched, as the part in question is very well written. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cerebral726 ( talk • contribs) 13:42, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
Hey there. Here's a bit of a weird one. Enköpings SK is an article about a multi-sports club. However, the vast majority of the article focused on their football team. The title for the football team, Enköpings SK FK, is a redirect to the main sports club. A rather new user cut and paste most of the info from the club article onto the redirect, creating a page. It is a cut and paste move. But you can't really move the club page to the football page, since there is history which pertains to the club only. Perhaps a WP:SPLIT?

Hi Barkeep, as NPP coordinator I hope you don't mind me asking you for some help. I'm feeling harrassed over at Talk:Scientists for Future, to the point that it is upsetting me. I would like to walk away but feel I need to defend myself against false accusations of disruption and being subjected to some blame game that I'm simply not interested in participating in but at the same time will not tolerate the harrassment I'm getting for this. I encountered the page Scientists for Future in the NPP feed, I noticed a whole section that had been copied from a website, removed this section with justification that we shouldn't reproduce content verbatim from another source and that it was somewhat promotional to do so. Then I marked the page as reviewed. Another editor objected, and reverted my removal of the content. I removed the content a second time repeating my justification which I think is sound but was again reverted. The editor involved took it to the article talk page and I engaged in discussion. I un-reviewed the page to get a second reviewers opition. In the meantime an uninvolved admin revdel'd the copied content. But since then I'm still getting attacked for removing the content in the first place and editors are arguing with the admins over non-negotiable copyright policy. As I said, I want to walk away, but if my username and my actions are being mentioned I feel compelled to defend myself. What should I do? Polyamorph ( talk) 21:07, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi. I'm late to the party because I only discovered it in the depths of my watchlist this morning. Your initiative is excellent in wanting to move this issue along but I think it needs more work first. See my comments there. I have sent out a mass message to all the members of the workshop that was already created three years ago to address these issues, inviting them to your discussion.

Hi! (I did not want to bring this up publicly without knowing the relevant history of discussions) This one user, Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/0lesson, has persistently tried to publish a blogger's bio and now their "book". After however many usernames, now they are just bouncing around with IPs. Before I can CSD their creations/submissions (which is basically copy-paste for them at this point), drafts get reviewed multiple times. I'm thinking that if we had a user blacklist or a topic blacklist for AFC, for reviewers to occasionally peruse, it might save reviewer time. Regards! Usedtobecool TALK ✨ 14:42, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Barkeep49, and thanks for closing the Taki's Magazine RfC on the reliable sources noticeboard. In your opinion, would it be more accurate to designate Taki's Magazine as "generally unreliable" or "deprecated" on the perennial sources list based on the result of that RfC? — Newslinger talk 22:47, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
"There is also agreement that even as an opinion publication this source should be avoided outside of very limited exceptions"is helpful to you or others in translating it to RSP. Best, Barkeep49 ( talk) 00:14, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi Barkeep49. Leaving aside my belief that the RfC was bad, I focus on your closing remark: "There is also agreement that even as an opinion publication this source should be avoided outside of very limited exceptions (e.g. WP:ABOUTSELF)." I looked at editors' comments containing the word "opinion" and mark them as (agree) or (disagree): (agree) 1. "Opinion is never a reliable source for anything other than the view of the author, and I don't think their authors are notable enough to have views worth including."; (agree) 2. "its published opinions are very likely to constitute undue weight"; (agree) 3. "mostly UNDUE for opinion"; (disagree) 4. "so this is an attempt to prevent cites of opinions not cites of facts. Read WP:NOTCENSORED."; (disagree) 5. "Use only for attributed statements of opinion"; (disagree) 6. "So then at worst its RS for its own opinions ..."; (agree) 7. "it doesn't have much use an opinion piece" (disagree) 8. "to be potentially used exclusively as the source of original opinion material". Thus, using a very generous interpretation of remarks saying "likely" or "mostly" or "much" as "agree", I see that four agreed and four disagreed, i.e. said opinions are okay. Therefore I am asking: how did you come to your conclusion? Peter Gulutzan ( talk) 21:22, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
