Well, it is about me and I would be happy to provide ID if you need it. I just don't see what gives someone the right to post personal and private information on a site like this, particularly if the subject doesn't want it. It's disrespectful. At the very least, can you change 'self-identifies as' to 'is'. I don't "self-identify" as gay. I simply AM gay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DublinD16 ( talk • contribs) 18:04, 16 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.

Thanks for creating Tugnet Ice House.
I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
A notable and well-written article, nice work! I've fixed a few disambiguation links on the article (I enabled a gadget that highlights all dab links in orange, so that makes spotting such links easier) but nothing major. I'm not sure if you know about the Did you know process, but I think the fact that this is the largest standing ice house in the UK is interesting enough for it to be a potential candidate. I can help you out with nominating it if you would like it or even just nominate it myself.

Hi Girth, from time to time I come back here to ask your help. My question of today is about the article above. An anon user created an article about that american rapper replacing the previous redirect. At a first glance the article seems acceptable but the problem is that they created it at Lil snupe (with the second name first letter lowecase). A redirect article Lil Snupe already exists. I think the correct situation would be to have the article under the second title but I'm not sure about how to proceed. Should I simply move the content from the first to the second or should I ask an administrator to take care of that? Is there an appropriate venue to leave a request about that? Thanks a lot in advance. Horst Hof ( talk) 06:35, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

KASHMIR OBSERVER
Kashmir Observer is one of the first English-language daily newspapers published in Srinagar in Kashmir, a state of India.
The daily began its publication in March 1997 when the local population, caught up in a bloody conflict and hungry for news, was dependent on newspapers coming from New Delhi.
Kashmir Observer is among the very few newspapers believed to have retained credibility despite heavy odds facing media in conflict-ridden Kashmir.
Kashmir Observer Online is the global face of the daily Kashmir Observer on the internet. Kashmir Observer Online is a major source of news and information for vast Kashmiri diaspora, intending tourists, business leaders, diplomats, journalists and those interested in India-Pakistan affairs.[1]
In 2012, the Kashmir Observer began publishing the Bazar Observer, Kashmir's first business newspaper.[2]
Kashmir Observer is the only newspaper in J&K which publishes regular supplements catering to different segments of society. Some of them are:
Bazar Observer for business community
Young Kashmir for teenagers and young adults.
Khyen Chyen (Food & Drink journal)
Mizraab (For Kashmir University students)
Samanabal (For the students of Science & Technology University (IUST)
Sajjad Haider is the publisher and editor-in-chief of the Kashmir Observer.

On 10 April 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tugnet Ice House, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Tugnet Ice House, the largest surviving ice house in the UK, is now a dolphin watching centre? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tugnet Ice House. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Tugnet Ice House), 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 there,
I just wanted to ask, if someone performs a vandalism act, and you spot it, even though you're not an admin or anything, and no-one else spots it, do I just erase the edit and notify an administrator or someone or do I leave it alone and notify an administrator? Also, for the humourous-purpose thing (something about whacking with a wet trout or whale or etc), if someone performs major vandalism, am I allowed to post that on the vandal's user page / talk page? This is what I mean: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Whacking_with_a_wet_trout
If I'm allowed to whack if someone performs vandalism, I'd be happy. :-)

Another great article, in this reference it says the church was built between 1795 and 1798 [1] whereas the article says 1787 to 1788. Do you have a ref that confirms the dates? Cheers and keep up the good work!

Thank you for your comments about Cragend Farm trying to get listings on wiki. The building Cragend Silo is listed (see facebook page) and on Historic listed buildings Northumberland but we are trying to add photos that are uopto date and correct and even with National trust on our side we are not having much luck updating. We are not techi and this is a hard medium to work with. We have several areas we would like to add to and also photos and I really need more that an email of guidance more of a day of tutorial. I do not check this every day as we are a working farm. We have been given a grant by Country Houses Foundation recently to do some repair work to the listed building hence our interest in updating the wiki pages and adding to them. I hope you can help me many thanks iun advance Lou Renwick Cragend Farm. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lou Renwick ( talk • contribs) 06:38, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
Hello Thank you for your help so far. The National trust have said they are happy for the Silo and the weighbridge to be added to the Cragside listing as additional information about the estate and gave the historical document 2010 for r efernce, but they missed the w eighbridge in this report as it was covered in debris at the time and we have restored it. If you came to Cragside did you drive past us on the carriage drive or did you just stay in the house. Next time, please come and see us. We do not want this for marketing but becuase we have reecived a grant to repari part of the silo we thought it was time it had its own listing and link to Country Houses Foundation perhaps? It is still tricky for me to understand but if you bear with me and talk me through it slowly I think we may get there. regards Lou Lou Renwick ( talk) 19:20, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello Girth Summit:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long
Backlog Elimination Drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unreviewed articles. The drive is running from June 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014.
Awards will be given out for all reviewers participating in the drive in the form of barnstars at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 2700 articles, so start reviewing articles! Visit the
drive's page and help out!
Hello Girth Summit,
Unregistered editors cannot create articles on Wikipedia, but they can use the articles for creation process to submit drafts that registered editors can either accept and publish or decline. WikiProject Articles for creation is looking for experienced editors who want to partake in this peer review process. If you have what it takes to get involved, then please take a look at the reviewing instructions. To discuss specific AfC reviews, do so freely on the designated talk page.
There is currently a backlog of over 3000 drafts (432 very old).
If you know an editor who may be willing to help out, please use the template you are currently reading {{
subst:WPAFCInvite}}
to draw attention to this WikiProject. Many hands make light work!
Hello, I would like it to be titled Cragend Farm, as the whole is what is important as listed in our building conditions of 2012 when the barn buildings were granted domestic use status. Northumberland County Council Conservation officers are in agreement with Historic England that the Farm is of heritage importance not just The Silo. The Silo and the Weighrbidge are sperate buldings on the farm, and within the barns is a Gilkes Turbine which drives the Silo. So all the buildings are relevant to the whole. The conservation officer said that the farm in its entirety was of importance. There are two documents recording the farm importance, 'An archaelogical building recording of Cragend Farm' by ARS for Northumberland County Council, and https://www.academia.edu/6936461/Recording_Farmworkers_Graffiti_at_Cragend_Farm_Rothbury Cragside also have a document done in 2010 which lists the silo and buildings but not the weighbridge (originall derelict and buried under earth) and turbine, which they missed, due to the fact it was not their property. We are now working with Cragside to add further detail to then history of the proerty and estate. Hope this all helps, from Lou . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lou Renwick ( talk • contribs) 08:42, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

We are farmers and just wanted to put right was was incorrect on wiki about the Cragside listing and add somethings that are relevant. Also Cragend Farm and Silo are all the same thing, its just that the Silo is listed. Ironically we have more machinery within the farm that is not, which is an over sight by the listers, for example the Weighbridge by Pooley and the Gilkes Turbine no 490. in the barns.

Hello Girth, I recently helped translating the following wikipedia page from Spanish to English.
Spanish Version https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Sociedad_Espa%C3%B1ola_de_F%C3%ADsica
Translation /info/en/?search=Draft:Spanish_Royal_Physics_Society_(RSEF)
The entry was rejected with the following comment. Comment: I appreciate that this is a translation from another Wiki site, but we still require references to support the assertions and demonstrate notability. Are there no references at the Spanish wiki article that could be used? Girth Summit (blether) 14:52, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
But it’s an almost EXACT copy of the Spanish original which is alive and published. As reference it redirects to the original page in Spanish, since it’s a translation I am confused of what better reference than the original webpage I can provide.
Both Versions (Spanish and English) have been reviewed by the current president of the Spanish Royal Society of Physics. Jose Adolfo de Azcarraga - azcarrag@ific.uv.es
If the original content needs to be expanded for it to be published then the translation effort becomes more than just translation. I will look for additional sources to add but can it be published, as is, for the time being as a translation of the original with exactly the same content? Can you review the decision? Thanks in advance Guillermo
Hello Girth, Thanks for your note, will see what I can do to provide additional references. In terms of the conflict of interest. My father happens to be the President of the Spanish Royal Society of Physics and as such has an interest on the site being available in English. As his son I am trying to help him in this being available, I am a Physicist too and happy to help in this being possible. I am certainly not being paid for this. The account is my own wikipedia account. Hope this is OK. Best Regards Guillermo

I added information that is easy for any person to validate. I am not going to help someone write their term paper but it should be enough added information to deduce important property and kinship ties.
Frankly, a perspective such as yours is why ancient information becomes obscured and eventually destroyed. Consider citations as a spectrum from 100 percent reliable to zero percent reliable. Even when a citation is added as a reference to a Wikipedia article, the value is negligible as a primary source. There should be multiple sources.
Rather than just remove factual information, use your intellect and investigate before deleting. Add the reference yourself if it exists in such a simplistic form. Or perhaps just look at the genealogy charts like any tenth grader would do. 98.243.51.84 ( talk) 12:01, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

Your continued censoring of established facts as "not neutral" belies your pretense that you support strictly "neutral" editing. Nonsense. You only approve of leftwing delusions.

Zanhe ( talk) 08:12, 8 May 2019 (UTC)Hi. In reference to your edit here, can you take a look at this new edit here? He seems to be granting himself admin rights again. This isn't good, especially a second time around. Also, while he often makes useful edits, almost as often Yarfpr and I have seen him do strange things with PR road articles (which seems to be the subject matter where he mostly edits). Yarfpr and I have left him numerous Talk page messages, but he has never responded. We have offered him our help, but to no avail, because he doesn't respond.
Then I noticed his edits are almost exclusive to Infobox road parameters which would require little or no English. Since I also discovered he had been editing the Spanish WP here, it occurred to me that perhaps he speaks only Spanish, so I wrote to him here, but using Spanish w/English translation (a bilingual message, so to speak). In the process, I also realized he seems to be the same user as Anonyn IP 24.50.193.43, who had been making similar strange edits concurrent with Harrison Canyon ( See Here).
At one point, here, Yamil had to request page protection (I sort of talked her out of it) because of addition of bogus Puerto Rico road route marker shields by this user. Also, Yamil has been trying to do a really nice job with all Puerto Rico road articles, but she (as well as myself) spends a lot of her (precious, I am sure) time fixing bad edits by HC or explaining to him in his talk pages (we have written him here too (the Anonym user's Talk page).
I think we have reached a point where this user should be considered for some serious disciplinary action such, perhaps a block or some other action. I hope you can investigate or send this to someone who can. Thanks, Mercy11 ( talk) 21:34, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
Sorry for the confusion. It was not your edit that I referred to as vandalism but an edit prior to yours that removed mention of the Grammy wins. That same person had earlier claimed she had lied about them. I couldn't just revert that edit so I had to do it by hand and added a ref to go with it. Sorry, again, for the confusion.

Good morning Girth, how are you? I'm back to you after a while as I need a hint about the following issue. A newly regitered user replaced the content of Therapeutic abortion with a redirect to Abortion#Induced, claiming that they made it in accord with a decision taken in 2010. The page has been restored in 2015 and nobody complained for that until now; does this imply that there is a silent consensus for keeping the page or should the 2010 consensus be considered still valid? Your comment will be very appeciated. Thanks in advance and cheers, Horst Hof ( talk) 08:38, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

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.

Hi there. Someone, anonymous, has made an addition to a page I am watching (intending to update it in the future). The addition is pure speculation and no source is cited. I was going to change it back to the original (reverting?) but I am not sure if I have the authority or ability (!) to do that. The change page is at: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Knights_Templar_in_Scotland&diff=next&oldid=897681626 Your advice would be much appreciated. Ericthearcher ( talk) 15:56, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
On subjects about which you have no knowledge it's probably a lot easier and would save everybody a lot of time if you have doubts about "notability" just to leave a note on Wikipedia:WikiProject Horse racing which is always on the article talk page. They have editors who know these things. Any horse, jockey, or trainer who wins the Kentucky Derby (the most important horse race in North America) gets a bio at Wikipedia. If they win the Preakness Stakes then they are one race away from horseracing immortality. Juan Arias is not just a horse racing legend in his native Venezuela, he is in N.A. as well. Also, the refs you installed have no titles and are in a different format? Did you want me to fix them and if so, should I change your format or am I using the wrong one? Thanks, appreciate your effort to help out. Stretchrunner ( talk) 08:58, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

On 28 May 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cullen Old Church, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the internal organs of Elizabeth de Burgh, wife of Robert the Bruce, were buried at Cullen Old Church? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cullen Old Church. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Cullen Old Church), 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.

I didn't check the 'talk page' here and didn't alert you of the changes before resubmitting. It would have been good for you to cast a glance over the article (I would have fully appreciated it!). Anyway, I think I managed to make the necessary changes... Praevalebit ( talk) 19:23, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
Thanks again for checking. I thought those links may work, I can remove the OurKids one as it is a listing of the school but with an opinion written by OurKids itself (and I thought that might add some form of independent aspect to the page). The Kuratorium listing is a government website that lists the existence of every school registered in Poland so I thought that might be useful as well. The newspaper article is just a small article within the middle section of the newspaper which announces that there's a new school in Piaseczno. As for the school, it is true that I work for the school (and there's no financial incentive!) so I've just gone through with the declaration process (quite interesting!). Also, I would like to mention other school wiki pages (of international schools in Poland) link to their own websites but I thought those links I added might be enough as I'm having difficulty finding any better links. Please let me know what to do with the links I've submitted (now that you know my reasoning behind them :) ) Praevalebit ( talk) 11:42, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
I suppose the issue is that we're a new school and we've relied on a lot of marketing to promote us via social media... They are the only 'independent' links I could find without having to delve into online forums ;). I've also had a look at the WikiProject/Schools guidelines and I'm trying to follow them step by step. Praevalebit ( talk) 12:27, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
it should be blindingly obvious why my edit was an improvement for neutrality and basic correctness. a foolish biased editor reverted it so i changed it back. then you issue a warning. are you dumb? use your brain, else wikipedia will be a junkyard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.141.32.224 ( talk) 10:47, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Not sure why you templated me about speedy deletion of User talk:SHAILYYA. I certainly didn't create it. I nominated the user's sandbox for deletion here which may have made me the first editor to contribute to the talk page. Perhaps a little caution might have been better I shall now delete the template message unless it has some deeper hidden meaning that has been lost on me.

Dear Girth Summit, thank you for your offer to help me out as a Wikipedia newby. I have three questions that you may be able to answer.
1. What is a "talk page"? Is it synonymous with "user page" or is it a different entity?
2. How can I write something about myself on my user page? I thought I was doing that but evidently I was writing an "article". I tried again but now it says: "Anthony Bradbury talk contribs deleted page User:Mkatan (U5: Misuse of Wikipedia as a web host) (thank)". I entered a link to my conflicts of interest on what I thought was my user page (it was headed by a tab entitled "user page" and a heading User:Mkatan). Is it illegal to report your conflicts of interest on Wikipedia?
3. Is this the correct route for asking you questions?

Dear Girth,
You just edited a page a created, René Barbera (my first!) and deleted most of the content. You actually left a lot of valuable feedback, so I'm grateful to you already!
I was wondering if you could give me a few more pointers. Barbera is a client, and my job is usually to update his website, so my main source of information is his official bio, handed to us by his management. Should I source every single role debut with the venues' websites? Mainly, how do I make sure the stuff I write stays on the page and doesn't get deleted?
Thank you so much!!
Lilith89ibz ( talk) 04:03, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
Dear Girth,
Oh, don't worry, I know you're trying to help!
If copyright was the issue, I could donate the bio to Wikipedia since we own the rights, but it seems the conflict of interest is the bigger problem. To be clear, my job is not to make him look good, just for him to have a Wikipedia page. I'm perfectly happy with it as it is, stating his debuts and so on as facts and that's it. I've added citations for everything from the venues websites. Could you please review it and see if it's alright? I would really appreciate it if the banner at the top was removed, if you find no issues with it. As I mentioned, this is the first time I make a Wiki page for anybody, so it's not something I do at all, but I'll make sure I do it properly if there's a next time. Thank you so much for your help!
Lilith89ibz ( talk) 01:19, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
Hi Girth,
I've read it, but I'm not sure what I need to do. I think the idea is to add the "Connected contributor (paid)" template to my own talk page, correct? I don't even think I'm using this talk page right because I'm editing the time stamp manually, which can't possibly be the easiest way to do this... Do I add the template at the top of my talk page only or is it also meant to be on Barbera's page somewhere? My confusion is mostly about the how and where. I really appreciate this, you've been really helpful. Thank you again!
Lilith89ibz ( talk) 17:06, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
Hi Girth,
Yes, my employer is Lenny's Studio, and Barbera is our client. My job usually only involves creating content for new websites and I have never spoken to him, so I don't know what you'd say my affiliation to him is, but I'm sure you know how to qualify it! If you could add the statement to my page, that would be fantastic. It's really sweet of you, thank you!
I don't intend to edit or create any other Wikipedia pages on behalf of clients, but I'll make sure to do it properly if there's ever a next time.
HA, so that's how you do it. Thank you for that too, I really need to do some reading!

Hello Girth Summit,
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.
Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Hi Girth Summit. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers

WP:PERM/NPR in case this concerns your application. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encylopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the
deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the
new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

A notable and well-written article, nice work! I've fixed a few disambiguation links on the article (I enabled a gadget that highlights all dab links in orange, so that makes spotting such links easier) but nothing major. I'm not sure if you know about the Did you know process, but I think the fact that this is the largest standing ice house in the UK is interesting enough for it to be a potential candidate.

Hi Girth, from time to time I come back here to ask your help. My question of today is about the article above. An anon user created an article about that american rapper replacing the previous redirect. At a first glance the article seems acceptable but the problem is that they created it at Lil snupe (with the second name first letter lowecase). A redirect article Lil Snupe already exists. I think the correct situation would be to have the article under the second title but I'm not sure about how to proceed. Should I simply move the content from the first to the second or should I ask an administrator to take care of that? Is there an appropriate venue to leave a request about that?

KASHMIR OBSERVER
Kashmir Observer is one of the first English-language daily newspapers published in Srinagar in Kashmir, a state of India.
The daily began its publication in March 1997 when the local population, caught up in a bloody conflict and hungry for news, was dependent on newspapers coming from New Delhi.
Kashmir Observer is among the very few newspapers believed to have retained credibility despite heavy odds facing media in conflict-ridden Kashmir.
Kashmir Observer Online is the global face of the daily Kashmir Observer on the internet. Kashmir Observer Online is a major source of news and information for vast Kashmiri diaspora, intending tourists, business leaders, diplomats, journalists and those interested in India-Pakistan affairs.[1]
In 2012, the Kashmir Observer began publishing the Bazar Observer, Kashmir's first business newspaper.[2]
Kashmir Observer is the only newspaper in J&K which publishes regular supplements catering to different segments of society. Some of them are:
Bazar Observer for business community
Young Kashmir for teenagers and young adults.
Khyen Chyen (Food & Drink journal)
Mizraab (For Kashmir University students)
Samanabal (For the students of Science & Technology University (IUST)
Sajjad Haider is the publisher and editor-in-chief of the Kashmir Observer.

Hi there,
I just wanted to ask, if someone performs a vandalism act, and you spot it, even though you're not an admin or anything, and no-one else spots it, do I just erase the edit and notify an administrator or someone or do I leave it alone and notify an administrator? Also, for the humourous-purpose thing (something about whacking with a wet trout or whale or etc), if someone performs major vandalism, am I allowed to post that on the vandal's user page / talk page? This is what I mean: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Whacking_with_a_wet_trout
If I'm allowed to whack if someone performs vandalism, I'd be happy. :-)

Thank-you so much for reaching out to me and letting me know my edits were improper--I'm absolutely appreciative of those of you who go aobut ensuring data is as accurate as possible. I don't know how to update as you've suggested, but am 100% positive her given name was GERTRUDE Evelyn Freeman after her mother; she never went by the name Gertrude, always Evelyn. I have a copy of three documents as evidence: 1) 1920 US Federal Census, Ohio Birth Index and the registry of her first marriage in Ohio. If you would, please guide me how to correct entry and I'll try to do my best to comply. Patricia.A.Freeman ( talk) 15:53, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Another great article, in this reference it says the church was built between 1795 and 1798 [1] whereas the article says 1787 to 1788. Do you have a ref that confirms the dates? Cheers and keep up the good work!

Thank you for your comments about Cragend Farm trying to get listings on wiki. The building Cragend Silo is listed (see facebook page) and on Historic listed buildings Northumberland but we are trying to add photos that are uopto date and correct and even with National trust on our side we are not having much luck updating. We are not techi and this is a hard medium to work with. We have several areas we would like to add to and also photos and I really need more that an email of guidance more of a day of tutorial. I do not check this every day as we are a working farm. We have been given a grant by Country Houses Foundation recently to do some repair work to the listed building hence our interest in updating the wiki pages and adding to them. I hope you can help me many thanks iun advance Lou Renwick Cragend Farm. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lou Renwick ( talk • contribs) 06:38, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
Hello Thank you for your help so far. The National trust have said they are happy for the Silo and the weighbridge to be added to the Cragside listing as additional information about the estate and gave the historical document 2010 for r efernce, but they missed the w eighbridge in this report as it was covered in debris at the time and we have restored it. If you came to Cragside did you drive past us on the carriage drive or did you just stay in the house. Next time, please come and see us. We do not want this for marketing but becuase we have reecived a grant to repari part of the silo we thought it was time it had its own listing and link to Country Houses Foundation perhaps? It is still tricky for me to understand but if you bear with me and talk me through it slowly I think we may get there. regards Lou Lou Renwick ( talk) 19:20, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello Girth Summit:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long
Backlog Elimination Drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unreviewed articles. The drive is running from June 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014.
Awards will be given out for all reviewers participating in the drive in the form of barnstars at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 2700 articles, so start reviewing articles! Visit the
drive's page and help out!
Hello Girth Summit,
Unregistered editors cannot create articles on Wikipedia, but they can use the articles for creation process to submit drafts that registered editors can either accept and publish or decline. WikiProject Articles for creation is looking for experienced editors who want to partake in this peer review process. If you have what it takes to get involved, then please take a look at the reviewing instructions. To discuss specific AfC reviews, do so freely on the designated talk page.
There is currently a backlog of over 3000 drafts (432 very old).
If you know an editor who may be willing to help out, please use the template you are currently reading {{
subst:WPAFCInvite}}
to draw attention to this WikiProject. Many hands make light work!
Hello, I would like it to be titled Cragend Farm, as the whole is what is important as listed in our building conditions of 2012 when the barn buildings were granted domestic use status. Northumberland County Council Conservation officers are in agreement with Historic England that the Farm is of heritage importance not just The Silo. The Silo and the Weighrbidge are sperate buldings on the farm, and within the barns is a Gilkes Turbine which drives the Silo. So all the buildings are relevant to the whole. The conservation officer said that the farm in its entirety was of importance. There are two documents recording the farm importance, 'An archaelogical building recording of Cragend Farm' by ARS for Northumberland County Council, and https://www.academia.edu/6936461/Recording_Farmworkers_Graffiti_at_Cragend_Farm_Rothbury Cragside also have a document done in 2010 which lists the silo and buildings but not the weighbridge (originall derelict and buried under earth) and turbine, which they missed, due to the fact it was not their property. We are now working with Cragside to add further detail to then history of the proerty and estate. Hope this all helps, from Lou . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lou Renwick ( talk • contribs) 08:42, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello, Firstly I am a woman (Lou) Hi again! Secondly, thank you so much for all the help I am getting to get this listing onto Wiki. We are farmers and just wanted to put right was was incorrect on wiki about the Cragside listing and add somethings that are relevant. Also Cragend Farm and Silo are all the same thing, its just that the Silo is listed. Ironically we have more machinery within the farm that is not, which is an over sight by the listers, for example the Weighbridge by Pooley and the Gilkes Turbine no 490. in the barns. I would be very happy for uou to help me with this listing and get some better acurrate photos upload to please?

Hello Girth, I recently helped translating the following wikipedia page from Spanish to English.
Spanish Version https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Sociedad_Espa%C3%B1ola_de_F%C3%ADsica
Translation /info/en/?search=Draft:Spanish_Royal_Physics_Society_(RSEF)
The entry was rejected with the following comment. Comment: I appreciate that this is a translation from another Wiki site, but we still require references to support the assertions and demonstrate notability. Are there no references at the Spanish wiki article that could be used? Girth Summit (blether) 14:52, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
But it’s an almost EXACT copy of the Spanish original which is alive and published. As reference it redirects to the original page in Spanish, since it’s a translation I am confused of what better reference than the original webpage I can provide.
Both Versions (Spanish and English) have been reviewed by the current president of the Spanish Royal Society of Physics. Jose Adolfo de Azcarraga - azcarrag@ific.uv.es
If the original content needs to be expanded for it to be published then the translation effort becomes more than just translation. I will look for additional sources to add but can it be published, as is, for the time being as a translation of the original with exactly the same content? Can you review the decision? Thanks in advance Guillermo
Hello Girth, Thanks for your note, will see what I can do to provide additional references. In terms of the conflict of interest. My father happens to be the President of the Spanish Royal Society of Physics and as such has an interest on the site being available in English. As his son I am trying to help him in this being available, I am a Physicist too and happy to help in this being possible. I am certainly not being paid for this. The account is my own wikipedia account. Hope this is OK. Best Regards Guillermo

Hey I saw the diff of Dante's Inferno in your userbox. Was it a joke or attack? Seriously, they were comparing you to the Devil! Sincerely, Masum Reza ☎ 12:28, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
I added information that is easy for any person to validate. I am not going to help someone write their term paper but it should be enough added information to deduce important property and kinship ties.
Frankly, a perspective such as yours is why ancient information becomes obscured and eventually destroyed. Consider citations as a spectrum from 100 percent reliable to zero percent reliable. Even when a citation is added as a reference to a Wikipedia article, the value is negligible as a primary source. There should be multiple sources.
Rather than just remove factual information, use your intellect and investigate before deleting. Add the reference yourself if it exists in such a simplistic form. Or perhaps just look at the genealogy charts like any tenth grader would do. 98.243.51.84 ( talk) 12:01, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

My section was removed on the Richard E Jackson wiki page. It was supposedly removed for lacking a source. my addition to the page, however is a first hand account of Richard E Jackson. I would like to have my section added back o the article.
Your continued censoring of established facts as "not neutral" belies your pretense that you support strictly "neutral" editing. Nonsense. You only approve of leftwing delusions.

Zanhe ( talk) 08:12, 8 May 2019 (UTC)Hi. In reference to your edit here, can you take a look at this new edit here? He seems to be granting himself admin rights again. This isn't good, especially a second time around. Also, while he often makes useful edits, almost as often Yarfpr and I have seen him do strange things with PR road articles (which seems to be the subject matter where he mostly edits). Yarfpr and I have left him numerous Talk page messages, but he has never responded. We have offered him our help, but to no avail, because he doesn't respond.
Then I noticed his edits are almost exclusive to Infobox road parameters which would require little or no English. Since I also discovered he had been editing the Spanish WP here, it occurred to me that perhaps he speaks only Spanish, so I wrote to him here, but using Spanish w/English translation (a bilingual message, so to speak). In the process, I also realized he seems to be the same user as Anonyn IP 24.50.193.43, who had been making similar strange edits concurrent with Harrison Canyon ( See Here).
At one point, here, Yamil had to request page protection (I sort of talked her out of it) because of addition of bogus Puerto Rico road route marker shields by this user. Also, Yamil has been trying to do a really nice job with all Puerto Rico road articles, but she (as well as myself) spends a lot of her (precious, I am sure) time fixing bad edits by HC or explaining to him in his talk pages (we have written him here too (the Anonym user's Talk page).
I think we have reached a point where this user should be considered for some serious disciplinary action such, perhaps a block or some other action. I hope you can investigate or send this to someone who can. Thanks, Mercy11 ( talk) 21:34, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
Sorry for the confusion. It was not your edit that I referred to as vandalism but an edit prior to yours that removed mention of the Grammy wins. That same person had earlier claimed she had lied about them. I couldn't just revert that edit so I had to do it by hand and added a ref to go with it. Sorry, again, for the confusion.

Good morning Girth, how are you? I'm back to you after a while as I need a hint about the following issue. A newly regitered user replaced the content of Therapeutic abortion with a redirect to Abortion#Induced, claiming that they made it in accord with a decision taken in 2010. The page has been restored in 2015 and nobody complained for that until now; does this imply that there is a silent consensus for keeping the page or should the 2010 consensus be considered still valid? Your comment will be very appeciated. Thanks in advance and cheers, Horst Hof ( talk) 08:38, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

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.

Hi there. Someone, anonymous, has made an addition to a page I am watching (intending to update it in the future). The addition is pure speculation and no source is cited. I was going to change it back to the original (reverting?) but I am not sure if I have the authority or ability (!) to do that. The change page is at: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Knights_Templar_in_Scotland&diff=next&oldid=897681626 Your advice would be much appreciated. Ericthearcher ( talk) 15:56, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
On subjects about which you have no knowledge it's probably a lot easier and would save everybody a lot of time if you have doubts about "notability" just to leave a note on Wikipedia:WikiProject Horse racing which is always on the article talk page. They have editors who know these things. Any horse, jockey, or trainer who wins the Kentucky Derby (the most important horse race in North America) gets a bio at Wikipedia. If they win the Preakness Stakes then they are one race away from horseracing immortality. Juan Arias is not just a horse racing legend in his native Venezuela, he is in N.A. as well. Also, the refs you installed have no titles and are in a different format? Did you want me to fix them and if so, should I change your format or am I using the wrong one? Thanks, appreciate your effort to help out. Stretchrunner ( talk) 08:58, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

I didn't check the 'talk page' here and didn't alert you of the changes before resubmitting. It would have been good for you to cast a glance over the article (I would have fully appreciated it!). Anyway, I think I managed to make the necessary changes... Praevalebit ( talk) 19:23, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
Thanks again for checking. I thought those links may work, I can remove the OurKids one as it is a listing of the school but with an opinion written by OurKids itself (and I thought that might add some form of independent aspect to the page). The Kuratorium listing is a government website that lists the existence of every school registered in Poland so I thought that might be useful as well. The newspaper article is just a small article within the middle section of the newspaper which announces that there's a new school in Piaseczno. As for the school, it is true that I work for the school (and there's no financial incentive!) so I've just gone through with the declaration process (quite interesting!). Also, I would like to mention other school wiki pages (of international schools in Poland) link to their own websites but I thought those links I added might be enough as I'm having difficulty finding any better links. Please let me know what to do with the links I've submitted (now that you know my reasoning behind them :) ) Praevalebit ( talk) 11:42, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
I suppose the issue is that we're a new school and we've relied on a lot of marketing to promote us via social media... They are the only 'independent' links I could find without having to delve into online forums ;). I've also had a look at the WikiProject/Schools guidelines and I'm trying to follow them step by step. Praevalebit ( talk) 12:27, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Dear Girth Summit, thank you for your offer to help me out as a Wikipedia newby. I have three questions that you may be able to answer.
1. What is a "talk page"? Is it synonymous with "user page" or is it a different entity?
2. How can I write something about myself on my user page? I thought I was doing that but evidently I was writing an "article". I tried again but now it says: "Anthony Bradbury talk contribs deleted page User:Mkatan (U5: Misuse of Wikipedia as a web host) (thank)". I entered a link to my conflicts of interest on what I thought was my user page (it was headed by a tab entitled "user page" and a heading User:Mkatan). Is it illegal to report your conflicts of interest on Wikipedia?
3. Is this the correct route for asking you questions?

Just thanking you for your rapid review of my presently rather brief article on Marian Henderson. It's appreciated! Cheers - Tony Tony 1212 ( talk) 19:02, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
Dear Girth Thank you fro the entries so far. I have photos that are better than that but we are insanely busy at moment so I may try and do that later when the work is complete. I am still so unclear how to use wiki so we really appreocate your input. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lou Renwick ( talk • contribs) 12:41, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Dear Girth,
You just edited a page a created, René Barbera (my first!) and deleted most of the content. You actually left a lot of valuable feedback, so I'm grateful to you already!
I was wondering if you could give me a few more pointers. Barbera is a client, and my job is usually to update his website, so my main source of information is his official bio, handed to us by his management. Should I source every single role debut with the venues' websites? Mainly, how do I make sure the stuff I write stays on the page and doesn't get deleted?
Thank you so much!!

Dear Girth,
Oh, don't worry, I know you're trying to help!
If copyright was the issue, I could donate the bio to Wikipedia since we own the rights, but it seems the conflict of interest is the bigger problem. To be clear, my job is not to make him look good, just for him to have a Wikipedia page. I'm perfectly happy with it as it is, stating his debuts and so on as facts and that's it. I've added citations for everything from the venues websites. Could you please review it and see if it's alright? I would really appreciate it if the banner at the top was removed, if you find no issues with it. As I mentioned, this is the first time I make a Wiki page for anybody, so it's not something I do at all, but I'll make sure I do it properly if there's a next time. Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Girth,
I've read it, but I'm not sure what I need to do. I think the idea is to add the "Connected contributor (paid)" template to my own talk page, correct? I don't even think I'm using this talk page right because I'm editing the time stamp manually, which can't possibly be the easiest way to do this... Do I add the template at the top of my talk page only or is it also meant to be on Barbera's page somewhere? My confusion is mostly about the how and where. I really appreciate this, you've been really helpful. Thank you again!

Hi Girth,
Yes, my employer is Lenny's Studio, and Barbera is our client. My job usually only involves creating content for new websites and I have never spoken to him, so I don't know what you'd say my affiliation to him is, but I'm sure you know how to qualify it! If you could add the statement to my page, that would be fantastic. It's really sweet of you, thank you!
I don't intend to edit or create any other Wikipedia pages on behalf of clients, but I'll make sure to do it properly if there's ever a next time.
HA, so that's how you do it. Thank you for that too, I really need to do some reading!

Hi Girth: Can you send me guidelines for transferring all of my uploaded images to 'Creative Commons"? Can an editor do this easily?
Thank you for your help! Dave soriano — Preceding unsigned comment added by David S. Soriano ( talk • contribs) 19:57, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
Hello Girth Summit,
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.
Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.
