Apologies. This is the first time that I have canvassed, and I think only the second or third time an article I wrote (out of hundreds) was Afded. I think it is the second time I have disagreed with the same proposer, and over the same topic. Not realizing that canvassing is viewed as inappropriate, I canvassed four people with whom I have collaborated in the past on articles like the one in question. I am not sure why it is inappropriate to draw to their attention an Afd covering an article of the type that I know interests them because we have worked on them. (I.e., this was not a "friends & family" shout out.) Still, having been warned off, I will comply in the future. Cheers, Acad Ronin ( talk) 16:06, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

These types of message would presumably be just as likely to attract editors who would vote delete as would vote keep, and do so based on the merits of the arguments and relevant policy. They may benefit from their own personal interest and experience in the topic area, and may even know the relevant policy better than the average AfD participant....When you fought at Little Bighorn, Half the battles of the Indian Wars, testified in a case that went before the Supreme Court, and was invited to the inauguration of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, and some random guys want to take a selfie.

GreenMeansGo,
(I thought this /info/en/?search=Draft:Express_Entry would be an easy post to start with. Now I know none of them are easy. :)
A few questions before I start consolidating my Express Entry Post with the previous one. (Mine got rejected and I was asked to consolidate it with the original that you had rejected last year):
Would Immigration Agencies count as secondary sources? All reputable agencies are legal experts and work daily in the interpretation of the Canadian Immigration Law. I am thus inclined to think that the immigration services (those who can prove that their author is a qualified Immigration Consultant ( and also boasts a good reputation amongst users) would be the most up to date secondary source available. What is your opinion?
There are other secondary sources but they usually focus on the amounts of people who use express entry, and not the details as pertains to its inner workings.
Regards Onkreukbaar ( talk) 06:58, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback GreenMeansGo, I will rewrite my post.
Just to be clear, I did not write the post that you rejected, I wrote this /info/en/?search=Draft:Express_Entry_(2) one, and was simply told to consolidate mine with the original. I also relied too heavily on primary sources, and will rewrite my most with better sources - but I believe that I got the tone right. It is a short post, and I would like to know if you also think my style is correct.

As a side note, for those here saying essentially "go the hell back to retirement" to various editors, you need to seriously consider your attitude. When we have someone accusing someone else of driving away editors, the appropriate response is not to try to drive them away, regardless of your opinion as to the merits of their complaint.
THANK YOU. Can we frame this and add it to the edit notice when posting at any of the dispute resolution boards?

I am new to creating a page on Wikipedia. Just after construction I have noted that you have removed an entire section of the awards and recognition for the Hanes page. These awards have been verified by myself through both resume and bibliography. I am very unsure of how to best utilize the functionality of the editing/references etc. and would like to ask why the section was removed and how to return it. Yes, the list is lengthy, but in actuality it has been pared down considerably before publishing on Wiki. Please excuse my ignorance of Wikipedia and explain how I can restore this. Thanks----Twilder — Preceding unsigned comment added by Twilder43 ( talk • contribs) 19:36, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
{{request edit}}
. Second, even if they were verified by you, they did not include references to sources that meet our
standards for reliability, so that they could be verified by readers. Self-published sources, even if they had been included, are generally not sufficient for anything but the most mundane personal details, which generally would not include winning major awards, which would require independently published sources to back up. Finally,
Wikipedia is not a place to post resumes, and generally seeks to summarize content in prose, and only that content which is essential for an encyclopedic understanding of the subject, and not necessarily every detail that is available. The list, if reliably sourced, and if added by an editor without a conflict of interest, would need to be severely cut down to only the most important awards most essential for readers.

19:56, 8 March 2018 (UTC)GMG,
A couple of things, as I stated previously I am new here so the question I posed to you was regarding how to place the references you alluded to. No help there. Also you reference and provided a link to regarding "conflict of interest" and have referred to it twice. I DID NOT KNOW THE MAN. I NEVER MET HIM. The information contained on the page was compiled using multiple sources. If you had provided assistance regarding that it would have been helpful. Do you understand that? And finally, on two (2) occasions you have stated "This is not a place for resumes" As Mr. Hanes has been deceased since 2011 I find this not only ridiculous but offensive and don't want to see it again. Your reply is both arrogant and unhelpful and it is obvious why this is how you spend your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Twilder43 ( talk • contribs) 20:12, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Not my fault that other people seems to hate everything that tries to be consistent or helpful or that Wikipedia doesn't have clear enough rules and guidelines. Or that I don't like to let myself get bullied by older edits with their bureaucracy and ganging together with their friends to outvote others. 99% of all edit war arguments are just "oh but I don't feel this" without backing it up with anything beyond that. Every person on this website seems to act like a giant hypocrite when it comes to edit warring. People just want others to give in to their ideas by incessant nagging and if you express your displeasure even a little you're being hostile or uncivil or something. Why is it even allowed that people tag someone else as an edit warner when the person themselves is the one edit warring with the other, huh? ★Trekker ( talk) 16:28, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

A hint to help you continue to do your good work more effectively: when there is a promotional article from a company that is also a copyvio of their web site, mark it as both G11 and G12. If it's just marked G12, the wording there can be seen as encouraging them to try to give permission for it, and that's not what we want. It's better to cover all the bases.

online support vehicle for any company looking to market its products to the planning and advice channelor essentially an ad agency acting as a media outlet to drop names and plug products. Most Media section is off topic, and is just instances of him giving his opinion in sources about other topics where he is himself not the main subject of the article. Similarly for the source in the lead, which actually only dedicates about ten words to talking about the subject himself, and is entirely otherwise about investing advice.
He is an expert in a long list of categories when it comes to financial planning and wealth management. His expertise is evident from the moment he appears or says something on a topic.Must of the rest, if not outright cringy, is promotion through either playing fast and loose with sources ostensibly about other topics, or giving undue weight to tangentially related things, like a hockey tournament. It's difficult to say what is both well sourced, relevant and non-promotional that could be retained if the article was rewritten to be neutral.

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

I've fixed two of the problems in the article and I am unsure of how to create links to this Wikipedia page from others. I now have a lead section and have many wiki links. I made it clear in the lead section what the purpose of the article is for(This article provides a brief history of several equations and theories thought history. It will provide an idea of what each equation is for and will describe the important events in each of their history. This is not an in-depth article. It is only to provide a brief explanation of each equation or theory.). I agree after looking at the deletion page that the title doesn't completely fit. A title that would work is "A brief history of equations and theories". Though I am not sure how to change the title. I am planning on adding a section on the Euler Characteristic, the Minimal Surface equation, and Einstein's theory of General Relativity. I would highly appreciate it if you would let me know what I have to do and/or add to the article to allow the article to stay undeleted.

Hello. I saw the inclusion of a Squadron badge at YUAS. If you do end up uploading more, could I humbly beseech you to label them as badges not crests? I have spent eons convincing mostly military types that the RAF and the Royal Navy have Heraldic Badges and not crests. I even created an article about it ( Heraldic badges of the Royal Air Force) which details why they cannot be called crests and backs it up with citations.
Please do not think of this as a moan on your good self or your work on Wikipedia. It seems that people calling them crests is endemic and I am slowly changing that one piece at a time. My next herculean task is to persuade the category mafia to re-label their [[Category:RAF Station crests]] page to badges. Regards, good luck and pip-pip!

As stated in my comment when I created the article, I am happy to make edits.

The community can enact for a TBAN that's pretty much tailored in scope to whatever there's consensus for, as far as I'm aware, with no practical policy based restrictions. It is therefore in theory possible for the community to TBAN a sysop from doing any administrative action whatsoever (although something like viewing deleted revisions would be outside any practical scope without an admission), effectively enacting a community neutering, and justifying a bona fide desysop case if they violated the ban without getting prior approval from the community to lift it.
I don't think I've even ever heard someone joke about it, but if there was ever a situation where someone screwed up so badly there would be consensus for it (and yet ArbCom refused to do anything about it), as far as I know, there isn't anything anywhere in policy that would actually prevent it. You know, just in case ArbCom does one day decide to totally lose their marbles. GMG talk 17:30, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Perhaps this will help.Given the situation of a Wikipedian using Google to translate compatibly licensed content, it is very unlikely that the use of that content on Wikipedia violates any Google copyrights. Assuming that any derivative copyright attaches, it is most probable that the Wikipedian would own it. Since the source material is presumably available by CC-BY-SA 3.0 or a similar license, the translated work would be safe for use on Wikipedia as long as its source is properly attributed.

Doug Weller has just reverted an IP on the talk page. The IP was complaining about a six-month block by Future Perfect at Sunrise for removing an unsourced fallacy from an article. It was reverted by Doug Weller who made four edits to the article in five minutes removing the IP's factual edit and restoring the speculation, claiming the factual summary was "original research". Next day, after the IP pointed out that the restored text did not mention the "Common era" (the subject of the article) he wrote to Future Perfect at Sunrise suggesting he block, because he personally didn't think the edits blockworthy. Surely he is too involved with Future Perfect at Sunrise to handle this case impartially and should recuse. What's your view? 86.152.38.229 ( talk) 16:26, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

the ability for participants to propose motions which ArbCom must vote onNow that's an interesting idea.
Proposed amendments may be submitted for ratification only after being approved by a majority vote of the Committee, or having been requested by a petition signed by at least one hundred editors in good standing.(from WP:AP) So we can force internal changes in process even if the committee objects, which I hadn't considered all that much really. I'm not sure exactly how that might work though, or whether there would be a potential for abuse. I mean, this discussion has just been spitballing ideas all the way down, so it's definitely an interesting suggestion to be sure. The suggestion to have abridged cases I like also, but you would have to pretty much leave it up to arb discretion when to do that probably.
the ability for participants to propose motions which ArbCom must vote on: This sounds very similar to this proposal, which I have enthusiastically supported. Alex Shih ( talk) 19:27, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
In terms of reform, most of the things discussed her can be done without an RfC, and honestly, it’d probably have more of an impact than a major policy reform RfC anyway: those only work when there is a strong preexisting consensus and the proposal is narrowly worded. The great advantage to how en.wiki works is that we don’t need a policy to do the vast majority of things: practice is policy. I think Jbh’s point re: censure is good: propose it more often. We’ve already seen recently the community is fine with it. I think the TBAN thing will be a harder sell, but you’re welcome to try it. There is *a lot* that can be done within existing confines, people just need to be willing to do it.
Re: the arb stuff: ArbCom can already resolve things by motion (it has desysoped by motion in the past) and it can also set shorter than standard timelines for cases (they did for MisterWiki, and I think at least one other recent case). The thing is just getting them to do it, which is often just saying “Hey, would you mind making this exception to normal procedure” to whichever arb is being most active on the case request page.

Apologies. This is the first time that I have canvassed, and I think only the second or third time an article I wrote (out of hundreds) was Afded. I think it is the second time I have disagreed with the same proposer, and over the same topic. Not realizing that canvassing is viewed as inappropriate, I canvassed four people with whom I have collaborated in the past on articles like the one in question. I am not sure why it is inappropriate to draw to their attention an Afd covering an article of the type that I know interests them because we have worked on them.

GreenMeansGo,
(I thought this /info/en/?search=Draft:Express_Entry would be an easy post to start with. Now I know none of them are easy. :)
A few questions before I start consolidating my Express Entry Post with the previous one. (Mine got rejected and I was asked to consolidate it with the original that you had rejected last year):
Would Immigration Agencies count as secondary sources? All reputable agencies are legal experts and work daily in the interpretation of the Canadian Immigration Law. I am thus inclined to think that the immigration services (those who can prove that their author is a qualified Immigration Consultant ( and also boasts a good reputation amongst users) would be the most up to date secondary source available. What is your opinion?
There are other secondary sources but they usually focus on the amounts of people who use express entry, and not the details as pertains to its inner workings.
Regards Onkreukbaar ( talk) 06:58, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback GreenMeansGo, I will rewrite my post.
Just to be clear, I did not write the post that you rejected, I wrote this /info/en/?search=Draft:Express_Entry_(2) one, and was simply told to consolidate mine with the original. I also relied too heavily on primary sources, and will rewrite my most with better sources - but I believe that I got the tone right. It is a short post, and I would like to know if you also think my style is correct.

I am new to creating a page on Wikipedia. Just after construction I have noted that you have removed an entire section of the awards and recognition for the Hanes page. These awards have been verified by myself through both resume and bibliography. I am very unsure of how to best utilize the functionality of the editing/references etc. and would like to ask why the section was removed and how to return it. Yes, the list is lengthy, but in actuality it has been pared down considerably before publishing on Wiki. Please excuse my ignorance of Wikipedia and explain how I can restore this.

. Second, even if they were verified by you, they did not include references to sources that meet our
standards for reliability, so that they could be verified by readers. Self-published sources, even if they had been included, are generally not sufficient for anything but the most mundane personal details, which generally would not include winning major awards, which would require independently published sources to back up. Finally,
Wikipedia is not a place to post resumes, and generally seeks to summarize content in prose, and only that content which is essential for an encyclopedic understanding of the subject, and not necessarily every detail that is available. The list, if reliably sourced, and if added by an editor without a conflict of interest, would need to be severely cut down to only the most important awards most essential for readers.

A couple of things, as I stated previously I am new here so the question I posed to you was regarding how to place the references you alluded to. No help there. Also you reference and provided a link to regarding "conflict of interest" and have referred to it twice. I DID NOT KNOW THE MAN. I NEVER MET HIM. The information contained on the page was compiled using multiple sources. If you had provided assistance regarding that it would have been helpful. Do you understand that? And finally, on two (2) occasions you have stated "This is not a place for resumes" As Mr. Hanes has been deceased since 2011 I find this not only ridiculous but offensive and don't want to see it again. Your reply is both arrogant and unhelpful and it is obvious why this is how you spend your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Twilder43 ( talk • contribs) 20:12, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Not my fault that other people seems to hate everything that tries to be consistent or helpful or that Wikipedia doesn't have clear enough rules and guidelines. Or that I don't like to let myself get bullied by older edits with their bureaucracy and ganging together with their friends to outvote others. 99% of all edit war arguments are just "oh but I don't feel this" without backing it up with anything beyond that. Every person on this website seems to act like a giant hypocrite when it comes to edit warring. People just want others to give in to their ideas by incessant nagging and if you express your displeasure even a little you're being hostile or uncivil or something. Why is it even allowed that people tag someone else as an edit warner when the person themselves is the one edit warring with the other, huh? ★Trekker ( talk) 16:28, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

online support vehicle for any company looking to market its products to the planning and advice channelor essentially an ad agency acting as a media outlet to drop names and plug products. Most Media section is off topic, and is just instances of him giving his opinion in sources about other topics where he is himself not the main subject of the article. Similarly for the source in the lead, which actually only dedicates about ten words to talking about the subject himself, and is entirely otherwise about investing advice.
He is an expert in a long list of categories when it comes to financial planning and wealth management. His expertise is evident from the moment he appears or says something on a topic.Must of the rest, if not outright cringy, is promotion through either playing fast and loose with sources ostensibly about other topics, or giving undue weight to tangentially related things, like a hockey tournament. It's difficult to say what is both well sourced, relevant and non-promotional that could be retained if the article was rewritten to be neutral.

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Options 2, 4 and 28 have general support. Options 13 and 3 are right out. And option 8 is so-so.And that doesn't really help anything. Best thing with RfCs is to assume people have about 10-15 focused minutes to evaluate the issue and make a decision and then cater to that. The people who have more time and attention will only have an easier way to express that added expertise. GMG talk 21:49, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

I've fixed two of the problems in the article and I am unsure of how to create links to this Wikipedia page from others. I now have a lead section and have many wiki links. I made it clear in the lead section what the purpose of the article is for(This article provides a brief history of several equations and theories thought history. It will provide an idea of what each equation is for and will describe the important events in each of their history. This is not an in-depth article. It is only to provide a brief explanation of each equation or theory.). I agree after looking at the deletion page that the title doesn't completely fit. A title that would work is "A brief history of equations and theories". Though I am not sure how to change the title. I am planning on adding a section on the Euler Characteristic, the Minimal Surface equation, and Einstein's theory of General Relativity. I would highly appreciate it if you would let me know what I have to do and/or add to the article to allow the article to stay undeleted.

Hello. I saw the inclusion of a Squadron badge at YUAS. If you do end up uploading more, could I humbly beseech you to label them as badges not crests? I have spent eons convincing mostly military types that the RAF and the Royal Navy have Heraldic Badges and not crests. I even created an article about it ( Heraldic badges of the Royal Air Force) which details why they cannot be called crests and backs it up with citations.
Please do not think of this as a moan on your good self or your work on Wikipedia. It seems that people calling them crests is endemic and I am slowly changing that one piece at a time. My next herculean task is to persuade the category mafia to re-label their [[Category:RAF Station crests]] page to badges. Regards, good luck and pip-pip!

Hello,
I am wondering if you can provide me with more guidance on what you mean when it says that the Winshuttle article seems more promotional than encyclopedic? As stated in my comment when I created the article, I am happy to make edits. But since I am not an experienced Wiki editor, I am just not sure what the requirements for being considered notable or encyclopedic would be to be able to align my entry with those things. Thanks!

The community can enact for a TBAN that's pretty much tailored in scope to whatever there's consensus for, as far as I'm aware, with no practical policy based restrictions. It is therefore in theory possible for the community to TBAN a sysop from doing any administrative action whatsoever (although something like viewing deleted revisions would be outside any practical scope without an admission), effectively enacting a community neutering, and justifying a bona fide desysop case if they violated the ban without getting prior approval from the community to lift it.
I don't think I've even ever heard someone joke about it, but if there was ever a situation where someone screwed up so badly there would be consensus for it (and yet ArbCom refused to do anything about it), as far as I know, there isn't anything anywhere in policy that would actually prevent it. You know, just in case ArbCom does one day decide to totally lose their marbles. GMG talk 17:30, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Perhaps this will help.Given the situation of a Wikipedian using Google to translate compatibly licensed content, it is very unlikely that the use of that content on Wikipedia violates any Google copyrights. Assuming that any derivative copyright attaches, it is most probable that the Wikipedian would own it. Since the source material is presumably available by CC-BY-SA 3.0 or a similar license, the translated work would be safe for use on Wikipedia as long as its source is properly attributed.

Doug Weller has just reverted an IP on the talk page. The IP was complaining about a six-month block by Future Perfect at Sunrise for removing an unsourced fallacy from an article. It was reverted by Doug Weller who made four edits to the article in five minutes removing the IP's factual edit and restoring the speculation, claiming the factual summary was "original research". Next day, after the IP pointed out that the restored text did not mention the "Common era" (the subject of the article) he wrote to Future Perfect at Sunrise suggesting he block, because he personally didn't think the edits blockworthy. Surely he is too involved with Future Perfect at Sunrise to handle this case impartially and should recuse. What's your view? 86.152.38.229 ( talk) 16:26, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

the ability for participants to propose motions which ArbCom must vote onNow that's an interesting idea.
Proposed amendments may be submitted for ratification only after being approved by a majority vote of the Committee, or having been requested by a petition signed by at least one hundred editors in good standing.(from WP:AP) So we can force internal changes in process even if the committee objects, which I hadn't considered all that much really. I'm not sure exactly how that might work though, or whether there would be a potential for abuse. I mean, this discussion has just been spitballing ideas all the way down, so it's definitely an interesting suggestion to be sure. The suggestion to have abridged cases I like also, but you would have to pretty much leave it up to arb discretion when to do that probably.
the ability for participants to propose motions which ArbCom must vote on: This sounds very similar to this proposal, which I have enthusiastically supported. Alex Shih ( talk) 19:27, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
In terms of reform, most of the things discussed her can be done without an RfC, and honestly, it’d probably have more of an impact than a major policy reform RfC anyway: those only work when there is a strong preexisting consensus and the proposal is narrowly worded. The great advantage to how en.wiki works is that we don’t need a policy to do the vast majority of things: practice is policy. I think Jbh’s point re: censure is good: propose it more often. We’ve already seen recently the community is fine with it. I think the TBAN thing will be a harder sell, but you’re welcome to try it. There is *a lot* that can be done within existing confines, people just need to be willing to do it.
Re: the arb stuff: ArbCom can already resolve things by motion (it has desysoped by motion in the past) and it can also set shorter than standard timelines for cases (they did for MisterWiki, and I think at least one other recent case). The thing is just getting them to do it, which is often just saying “Hey, would you mind making this exception to normal procedure” to whichever arb is being most active on the case request page.
