Thanks for the reply on my talk page Joe. By the way, I noticed you just closed this Vfd. I suggest you to salt it because the page has been created several times in the past. Thank you. -- Saqib ( talk) 13:52, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi, to replace a Fact template you must use a citation to support the dates. If no citation then the sentences are removed from the article, see Wikipedia:Citing sources IQ125 ( talk) 13:10, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi, you will have to move some of the citations into the paragraph without any citations. That is the rules at Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Verifiability. IQ125 ( talk) 16:13, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
I see that you declined a speedy deletion nomination because you thought the page was not an example of "Pages in userspace consisting of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals, where the owner has made few or no edits outside of user pages". The page contains nothing except for telling us about the YouTube account of the person who created the page, how many views it has had, and that he is "up and coming". The account has made no edits at all to any page apart from its user page. Can you tell me what you think would be "Pages in userspace consisting of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals, where the owner has made few or no edits outside of user pages"?

Dear Joe Roe,
thanks for the note and the precautions about the copyright issue. I had assumed that the documentation to an open source projects is also open source, but you are right that it should be checked thoroughly. So I started digging and found that Introduction.md in the github project is the same as the documentation hosted at ReadTheDocs. The whole projects is licensed under GLPL, so I think that it is ok to recycle it for Wikipedia and I ask you kindly to restore the page, but you decide. -- Bernhard Treutwein —Preceding undated comment added 16:29, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi there, I saw you reverted my deletion of the list of tells in Tell (archaeology). This list used to be in the article before, but was deleted because the list can never be complete, and "notable" is an extremely arbitrary notion. Looking at the list as it stands now, the first one, Tell Abib, for example isn't notable in any way. In fact, it's not even a place that can be located on a map. And many others are important sites, but I can list dozens of other sites that would be just as notable. So do you have any ideas on how to define "notable" to make this list anything more than just a random listing of sites? Best, Zoeperkoe ( talk) 09:25, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi Joe,
Thanks for your input on Griffin Tomb Warrior. I do see that I tend to add quotes. I know these are not journalism pieces, but I find myself wanting to make the articles more interesting for me to read! I think that may be a weakness of mine unless I work on that issue.
Would you recommend not having any quotable information in articles?. I have noticed some Wiki articles have quotes, but that does not mean it's a good thing.
And was that why Julie K. Stein got a "Start" class or was it the sources I used--All I could find for the most part belonged to her University.
I have contacted Jack Davis, the lead for the Griffin Tomb project. I have been in contact with him before and he was able to direct me to the archivist at the University of Cincinnati to get photos for Ida Hill and Elizabeth Blegen. I hope its ok to contact him for photos for Stocker and the Tomb article. I think the Griffin tomb would look great with lots of artifact photos or illustrations.
How can I make the Griffin Warrior Tomb better?
FYI, I am going to work on my first online Edithon this month. Participating in Women in Red's: Geofocus Britain and Ireland, so I may be able to do a few British archaeologists, but I will be trying some new professional areas for something different.

Hi Joe Roe, may I ask what is your rationale behind the reversion? After your revert I went through another check on all the votes and their reasons, and while I noticed !keep voters attempting to argue their case through on the application of WP:PROF on the contrary of the !delete voters, I was not sure if the present state of discourse constitutes consensus. Still I have decided not to re-revert, and I would like to ask for your views, please. Optakeover (U) (T) (C) 16:21, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, there is no desire to change the guideline to reflect biases. I have pointed this information out numerous times to "those who wrote" (or at least take credit for writing) the guideline and they have not made any attempt to change or alter the data. Like all guideline/policy discussions on WP there is much talk and little movement. I neither have the patience nor will to get into a wall of text discussion on the problems with the guideline, but will continue to maintain (with data to back up my position) that the guideline perpetrates biases and is flawed.

Hi Joe,
I noticed that additional information was added to the Griffin Warrior Tomb article. The information added was about the gold rings found in the excavation. I think the new content has problems. I know this is a collaborative environment, so I hesitate to change or remove someone else's work. I would appreciate your advice on this. Thanks MauraWen ( talk) 04:33, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi I saw you deleted my entry for Anne Churchland on the basis of copyright infringement. I'm not sure Allen institute own copyright to that page you mention but I'm happy to edit it so there's more information and it is less similar to the page on that website. But can you please undelete so I do not have to start from scratch? I now see that Wikipedia policy towards possible infringement is immediate deletion but can the article be placed in a sandbox from which I can do further work? I had added more material and starting from scratch would be a lot of work. Thanks. Voltdye ( talk) 22:27, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
Okay, I see your point. I have now made a new one ( Anne Churchland), using no copyrighted material, and citing a number of sources such as newspaper articles, etc. I hope it's okay now. Clearly it can be improved, but it is a decent starting point I'd think. Voltdye ( talk) 11:31, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
Thanks. I fixed a few more things now. Most citations are no longer bare URLs (Maybe sufficient for banner to go now?) There are two that I don't know how to fix: (1) a bare URL that seems useful but I don't know how to convert to something more permanenent; (2) evidence re brother Mark is actually given in Wikipedia page Patricia Churchland but is it okay to cite a Wikipedia page as a reference (I am not sure).

Hi Joe,
hopefully you remember that you deleted my attempt to create a page about OSTree some weeks ago. If not, there is a reminder on my talk page: Copyright violation at OSTree. In the meantime the project changed their documentation license, so it should be possible to re-instantiate the former contents. See also: OSTree Changed License

When I counted the votes for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sutton Hoo Helmet (sculpture), I saw three people that wanted to keep the article and seven people that wanted something other than keeping (delete, merge, or redirect). These seven thought the article should not have been kept as an independent article due to a lack of notability of the artwork, so I was surprised to see that you closed the AfD as keep. Based on the votes and discussion, I believe the AfD should have been closed as merge, possibly merging part of the article and deleting the rest. — Editør ( talk) 21:30, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Joe,
In regard to Ymyyakhtakh culture, its appearance in Scandinavia is mentioned in English in many sources of varying reliability.
I wonder if this is reliable?
"Bolshoy Oleni Ostrov [Karelian Republic] belongs, surprisingly, to very wide spread NORTH SIBERIAN cultural horizon known as Ymyakhtakh (also in literature: Ymyyakhtakhk and Ymyiakhtakh)."

Thank you for your time and efforts to edit the article. I am not sure about the reason you chose to remove the content. Similar to many academic personalities pages ( /info/en/?search=Wilhelm_Barthlott ; /info/en/?search=Markus_J._Buehler), this page had important details for a professor. The professor is a well-respected person in the field of academia with more than 60k citations to his name ( https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=dtvtjgsAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate). I will request you to undo the content and help up shorten it, rather than removing it altogether. It is highly disrespectful. If you see closely, in past, other Wikipedia content editors had asked to include/remove the info that was out there. Devgurera ( talk) 22:29, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

(ec) Joe, I appreciate the time you've taken to discuss this, but I think you've made a mistake here. You said, Prince of Thieves didn't offer an opinion either way. Well, it's true that he didn't put a bolded bulleted !vote up front, but the only (non) source he provided was an instagram post, which surely isn't a WP:RS. He even pointed out that either name in the post was unverifiable and suggested that it was probably a circular reference to us. I'm willing to be somewhat flexible on WP:N, but we really need to hold the line on WP:V. I hope you don't mind if I take this to WP:DRV for more sets of eyes. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:00, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello Joe Roe/Archives, thank you for your efforts reviewing New Page and AfC submissions and your support for the ACTRIAL initiative.
The conclusion to the ACTRIAL report commissioned by the Wikimedia Foundation strongly reiterates our long-time on going requirements for the NPP and AfC processes to be improved. Within minutes of the trial being switched off, the feed was swamped with inappropriate creations and users are being blocked already.
This is now the moment to continue to collaborate with the WMF and their developers to bring the entire Curation system up to date by making a firm commitment to addressing the
list of requirements to the excellent suite of tools the WMF developed for Curation. Some of these are already listed at Phabricator but may need a boost.
The conclusions also make some recommendations for AfC.
A place to discuss these issues initially is
here where you are already a task force member.

As per WP:MERGEINIT, discussing a merger first is up to the discretion of the editor. To quote "If the need for a merge is obvious, individual editors can be bold and simply do it." The obvious need for a merge is justified as follows: the official page of the University of Oxford currently lists the department as School of Archaeology link and the School page notes that it is formed from the Institute and RLAHA link, which makes the existence of two separate pages for these entities, which are not separate departments, pointless. The existing RLAHA article is also a stub.
According to wiki guidelines, therefore, it's insubstantial to call a merge controversial simply because there was no discussion. Amys eye ( talk) 14:56, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello,
My name is William Fitts, I created the original Ralph de Warenne page and you improved it to a point that Wikipedia didn't delete it the first time and I thank you. This page is a work in progress and unfortunately I do not know how to navigate he various tools required by Wiki that will appease them. I am a researcher and not a tech type. I have recently cleared the negativity wrought by Sir Charles T. Clay, via Early Yorkshire Charters, Vol. 8. Clay drew a great line in the sand historically with his statement that Ranulf and Radulf were distinct and could not represent one in the same man? Here is my latest advance in disproving Clay's statement. The following is an email exchange between Dr. Peter McClure and myself which is about the Radulf?Ran(d)ulf problem, also his Biography is included:

to me
Dear Bill
Luckily I’ve made up time on my other commitments this morning so I can respond to you now instead of waiting till next week. Many thanks for all the images. You have done your research meticulously and that is a great help. I agree with you that there are some Anglo-Norman men named as Ran(d)ulfus and Radulfus and I remember having come across this problem myself when working with 12th-century and early 13th-century records. I thought then, and I still do, that it is likely that medieval clerks sometimes confused the two names in their Latin forms. However, I doubt if it represents an equivalence of the vernacular forms. The vernacular form latinised as Radulfus was Raulf, Rauf or Raoul. The vernacular form latinised as Ran(d)ulfus was Randolf. It is theoretically conceivable that Randolf could have been reduced to Ralf in some pronunciations but, as there seem to be no parallels in Anglo-Norman French or in Middle English for loss of /n/ or /nd/ between vowels in a stressed syllable, this seems fairly unlikely. The vernacular surnames Randolf/Randal and Ralph are common in medieval records but never seem to be interchangeable. So I suspect that the confusion or interchange of Ran(d)ulfus and Radulfus probably occurred only in the written latinised forms and is a scribal rather than a spoken phenomenon. All the same, because the latinisation of personal names was a regular practice, it can create difficulty for anyone trying to establish whether a man who is named Ran(d)ulfus and a man named Radulfus are two different men or the same man. So, yes, you’ve convinced me that it is possible Ranulfus and Radulfus de Warenne could refer to a single individual.
Thank you again. You’ve reminded me of significant issue, which I’ve not given enough attention to in the past.

Dear Bill,
I did think of referring you to the Winton Domesday edition but I didn’t need to, did I! Yes, I said much the same thing in the Durham Liber Vitae edition but I didn’t cite the examples you have drawn my attention to. I am grateful for them, since if I ever need to comment on the Radulfus/Ranulfus problem again I can quote them, with acknowledgment to you for having pointed them out to me. You are welcome to cite my comments in anything you publish and to contact me again in the future.

Peter McClure, Honorary Professor (Name-Studies), Faculty of Arts Contact: University of Nottingham, School of English, Room A64 Trent Building, University Park,Nottingham, NG7 2RD,UK Telephone: 01482 845734 Email: peter@mcclure.karoo.co.uk Biography: I was educated at the University of Nottingham (BA English Language and Literature), where I also conducted postgraduate research on 'The surnames of medieval Nottinghamshire'. I then spent twenty-five years lecturing in the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Hull, where I also received my PhD by published work: 'Studies in the interpretation of Middle English personal names and surnames'. In 1977 I founded Nomina, the Journal of the Council (now the Society) for Name Studies in Britain and Ireland and remained its editor until 1985. I am former President and currently Vice-President of that Society and I am Vice-President of the English Place-Name Society. Since 2007 I have been acting as a consultant to the Oxford English Dictionary on English personal names and surnames. In 2016 I joined the Institute for Name-Studies at Nottingham as an Honorary Professor. Current Research Summary: This is mainly focused on the etymologies and linguistic development of modern family names, as part of my editorial work for the Oxford Dictionary of Family Names in Britain and Ireland (2016). A second, revised and expanded edition is in preparation. Since modern surnames are often opaque or are only deceptively intelligible, I am also gathering data that reveals the phonological and morphological patterns by which Middle English surnames became misleadingly transformed in early Modern English. I have a long-term interest in medieval personal names and surnames as a source of information about the people who bore them, their origins, language, occupations and behaviour. I am currently writing a chapter on ‘Personal names as evidence for migrants in medieval England’ in a forthcoming book Migrants in Medieval England c.500–1500 edited by Joanna Story, Mark Ormrod and Elizabeth Tyler, to be published by the British Academy. Past Research: Most of my previous publications relate to the late medieval period, with a particular emphasis on the methodology by which people's names can be reliably exploited as evidence for social and economic history and for historical linguistics. Appointment of Peter McClure as Honorary Professor of Name-Studies: 1 August 2016 The INS is delighted to announce the forthcoming appointment of Dr. Peter McClure as Honorary Professor within the Institute for Name-Studies. Peter is an internationally-recognized pioneer of rigorous onomastic methodology, and the foremost British scholar working on medieval personal names. He is Honorary Vice-President of the English Place-Name Society and president of the Society for Name Studies in Britain and Ireland. His association with Nottingham is long-standing – he was both undergraduate and postgraduate at the University, as a student of the late Professor Kenneth Cameron, head of the Department of English and eminent place-name scholar.
I am curently working with Englis authorities to try to prove that Ralph de Warenne died with his brother while on the Second Crusade. I have already proved that Ralph de Warenne's son William fitz Ranulf was a participate in the Third Crusade.
Thanks for trying to help in saving the Wikipedia article and I hope that with your navigating skills that you can apply my thoughts in preserving the cite.

Hi Joe
You probably wont remember me but you were amazing with my dads article and you helped me so very much. I am back as a tv company is interested in his story. I tried to remove the athens pic but couldnt. I added new pics, one french woman said one was blurry, I sent in a clearer one as she removed the other. Then I got a message in French which I dont understand. Then i added comments to a pic and it has duplicated. What an idiot I am and you are away so I dont know what to do but if you come back and could help in tidying it with me I would be eternally grateful, there is someone else altering things and I am not very confident as he seems to be very argumentative with others, I dont know, wish you were here!!! kareenza Kareenza ( talk) 15:00, 12 May 2018 (UTC) terence hogan
It is lovely to hear from and hope you are well? Yes I think I am still getting support, its gone a bit quiet!! I have just had an email from a wiki editor asking me what I want from the article? I am hoping I might get some help with pics. Will the user mainly helping let me know when finished as frightened he might go without finishing. I was told to post on someones tc page but what does that mean Joe?...still a dinosaur as ever!!! the photos got pulled and dont know whether will go back up. It would be amazing if you would keep an eye on it. There is talk of a documenary regarding the perils of crime so I was trying to make it look good. You were sorely missed!!! You wre fantastic, king and a brain box:)kareenza Kareenza ( talk) 16:09, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
I am not sure if it ok to post a chat to you on here but hope ok. I got this message Hello Kareenza. No worries, and no need to apologize. Lets take this calmly. A few questions: You said you took some of the pictures? Those should be fine if it is not used anywhere else. If they are used elsewhere, did they clearly credit you? If not, why not? For the pictures you didn't take, but wish to be uploaded; that may be tricky. It mostly depends on the year of publication, the current copyright holder (if copyright is not expired), and also if the copyright holder is willing to release it under a more relaxed license. As you said, you're not sure who took them. Are these photos published anywhere (internet or offline)? I answered best I could some are mine, some are step mothers, all taken before 1978. I can ask step mum to sign off, but what and where is the form. Some pics are from the daily mail article but the DM pics editor says the pics are my copyright. So things are very complex and I am not sure anyone would take this on ie in uploading pics, what should I do, shud I just leave it with people editing, can u help? People seem to be coming in and out which I appreciate but the pics is a real worry as Im worried if I upload anything I would start a war again :) kareenza–––– — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kareenza ( talk • contribs) 11:11, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

At some point I'd like to have the deleted article in my sandbox, along with its history so that I could choose an earlier version to work on. But first I must ask two questions: (1) I was just topic-banned from medicine-related articles for 6 months (recently closed on AN/I). Does this mean that I'm not allowed to work on such an article in my sandbox during this period, and need to ask you again in December after the ban expires? (2) In either case, when in the sandbox, how can I change the title (perhaps to "Criticism of mainstream medical practice") while preserving attribution? I've had trouble understanding attribution and made two mistakes recently (making a copy for my sandbox, and blanking it rather than deleting the sandbox when I was informed that the copy was against policy).

Hi Joe,
I have been creating a number of articles on African American archaeologists. I would like to add a category for this group. I am not sure exactly how to do that--this sounds different than creating an article. If you think its a good idea, would you be able to create the category (or sub category) for me?
I was also wondering what you thought of the idea of creating an article for the Society of Black Archaeologists? They are fairly new, but it also sounds like they are not quite a formal organization at this point. I learned about their organization thru my research on Alexandra Jones (archaeologist)

1. Here's a Vice article that directly mentions Orjan Larsen and includes an interview with him in person. Note that while Vice Waypoint is not under the print magazine, it's a professionally edited publication a la Vox.com. There are more articles referencing Orjan Larsen from mainstream Norwegian periodicals.
2. Context matters. While articles by Vice magazine may be unreliable for biographies of a politician or academic, they can be both reliable and significant as a source for online entertainment; in fact, oftentimes online periodicals are the *only* reliable publication available for online entertainment. For example, check the bibliography section of PewDiePie in which the vast majority of references come from Tubefilter and Game N Guide. That's a GA-class article across six different projects; the inclusion of those sources reflects the consensus of the closest WikiProject about what constitute reliable sources for online entertainment BLPs - i.e. high-traffic online publications generally pass the reliability guideline. Vice, which covered Orjan Larsen, is far more mainstream and prominent than either Tubefilter or Game N Guide.
3. Career earnings are an often used criterion for notability for professional e-gamers. For example, see the lede of Lim Yo-hwan, or the infobox for eSports players. I don't believe there's a WP MOS page for e-gamers, but IMO using career earnings as a metric for professional e-gamers falls under common sense.
4. Back when I was a regular editor in Wikipedia, using anti-vandalism tools to revert good-faith edits - including disputes about notability - was considered poor etiquette. I don't know if that's still true, but I'm puzzled at why someone whose expertise doesn't lie in this project area couldn't bother to have a discussion about notability before a second revert. The original writer of that article (i.e. this IP) clearly had a basic grasp of Wikipedia MOS and notability guidelines, and so do I. 143.89.90.207 ( talk) 02:21, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi Joe,
I went through the R programming page. The "tidyverse" is not mentioned once, so I don't see the need to link to one (paid) author's collection of packages. Especially since the "tibble" package, changes the way R handles data.frames, which in my opinion is confusing to new users. To be clear, I personally really like RStudio and some of Hadley Wickham's packages, but I don't think the link is appropriate here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bquast ( talk • contribs) 08:24, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

What's the evidence that Andrew Hill (jazz musician) is "Not the obvious WP:PRIMARYTOPIC", as you wrote? Before you created Andrew Hill (anthropologist), the only other one was Andrew Hill (footballer), who played one significant match. The anthropologist got through two years of death without an article and there's nothing sourced to suggest that his profile is rising. EddieHugh ( talk) 14:08, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

I am seeking our advice. I came back to you very on the topic. I am extremely surprised to see that the article I created Bruno Crates has been deleted. Bruno Crastes is one of the most famous fund managers in Europe. I can see 17000 entries in Google. If we delete his page, why not deleting the article re Ray Dalio? The article has been in existence for more than 2 years as far as I remember. Unfortunately, I was busy with my work and did not have a look on my Wikipedia. To be true, I did not expect an article well sourced, documented with references to be deleted after 2 years. Someone stated "Singificant RS coverage not found". I am not sure what RS means. What does it mean?. Last but least, I would like to comment on the last sentence "Created by Special:Contributions/Gentle_rififi with few other contributions outside this topic." I am extremely surprised by this sentence. I have been contributing for 10 years. I have between 1 to 2 thousand contributions on Wikipedia mostly on the French Wikipedia.I also created several articles in the French Wikipedia and even one in Spanish. One of the key arguments saying that basically I had little experience is wrong. I understand that this speedy deletion has been trigered by the article H2O Asset Management. It is true that I created this article based on the template of Calamos Asset Management among others. The artcle was far for perfect. I wanted to improve it but was stuck with an urgennt projects at my office. How could I recreate the article without facing the risk of another deletion? Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

Hello Sir, Can you please remove the speedy deletion notice from my creation Arrivedo? Or let me know where the promotional texts are. I will remove and make it with wiki criteria. Thanks in advance. Regards Sbshuvo ( talk) 06:12, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
Dear Joe Roe, you helped me with my Wikipedia article on C.C. Huijsmans, which was great. Today I was adding to and correcting a Wikipedia article on George Cheyne (Physician). However, all my additions were suddenly removed by an undoubtedly well meaning S. Philbrick, because of a supposed copyright issue. Therefore I would like to ask for your help as I am slightly confused now. I referred to a book The Spiritual Side of Samuel Richardson, which I wrote for my Ph.D. degree at the University of Leiden. I perhaps wrongly thought that I could refer to this book, and several pages if necessary. I am not really using parts of my book or reproducing it in the George Cheyne article. I am merely giving the source so as to make verification possible for third parties, just as I am mentioning other books such as the one by Anita Guerrini. S. Philbrick suggests that I can solve this copyright problem by handing over to Wikipedia the copyright of my book, which means that anyone can use or change the content of the book. Now that I really do not like. Please help! Best regards, Hanengerda ( talk) 13:55, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
I've re-added the categories such as Category:1911 novels. Not sure whether this is standard practice or not. Either (a) It helps the reader who is looking for novels of that category, or (b) it hinders them as this novel has been declared not notable enough for its own article. Might ask at the Books Wikiproject whether there's a view, or a guideline, on this. Pam D 16:02, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
With respect, I have not misunderstood the criteria for deletion. It is the other editors who, in voting for keep have not appreciated the situation. What has happened it this: up to the year 2017 there was no ambiguity regarding the term "silicic acid". Then, with the publication of the paper by Igarashi and others, the article title became ambiguous as it can now refer to two distinct chemical compounds with chemical formulae SiO2 and Si(OH)4,repectively. The existence of the paper was first revealed to me in the body of the talk page by user:XOR'easter.
My proposal, at the bottom of the talk page was, effectively, to replace the article by a new one with a distinct title. There a draft of the new article at User:Petergans/sandbox.
The situation is complicated by the fact that compounds with the chemical formulae SiO2,xH2O are commonly called "Silicic acid", which is contrary the IUPAC rules on chemical nomenclature. Silicon dioxide may be referred to by the archaic name silicic acid anhydride.
I have since found a second article, Orthosilicic acid, whose title does not reflect its contents, which refer exclusively to silicon dioxide. I will, in future, transfer the relevant material to silicon dioxide and then call for it to be deleted. Petergans ( talk) 10:24, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
(no indent)This response is unsatisfactory. Much of the current article silicic acid is drivel. For example, the suggested structures for
Formula | Name | Computed Structure |
---|---|---|
H 2SiO 3 or SiO(OH) 2 |
metasilicic acid |
![]() |
H 2Si 2O 5 or Si 2O 3(OH) 2 |
disilicic acid |
![]() |
are pure nonsense as no 3-coordinate silicate structures are known. Statement like
"The silicon-oxygen double bond of metasilicic acid, implied by the formula H
2SiO
3, is hypothetical or highly unstable. Such double bonds can be
hydrated to a pair of
hydroxyl (OH) groups.<ref name=gye/>
are equally nonsensical as the structure =Si=O is not present in any known silicate. The reference to Gye is bogus. In fact all the references except to Iler are bogus or irrelevant.
If I thought that there was anything worth saving in the current article, I would, of course not suggest deletion. On the issue of links, I can make sure that any essential link will be re-directed.
The article I'm preparing in my sandbox should be entitled "Silicic acids". Surely a clash with "Silicic acid" is to be avoided? The answer is simple: anything relevant to silicon dioxide and its hydrates should be moved to the article silicon dioxide; there is no need to have separate article such as silicic acid and silicon dioxide when they deal, in the same way. with the same group of chemical compounds.
I am appalled by your suggestion that IUPAC rules should be ignored when naming chemical compounds. The correct procedure is to use the IUPAC name, followed, if necessary, by aka... . I have modified the lead for silicon dioxide to conform to this convention. Petergans ( talk) 13:20, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello Joe Roe/Archives, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

I re-nominated because I was under the impression that a second AFD can be re-opened if there are reasonable doubts by a third party and concerns over the closure of the AFD.

I am coming back to you very lately. My job have been driving me away from Wikipedia for weeks if not months. An article I wrote "Bruno Crates" was deleted 2 months ago. I just realized it being back to Wikipedia earlier this week. As suggested on the Talk page of the deleted article, I am contacting you as I would like to recreate the page. Here are my arguments for that. Basically they are twofold. First about Bruno Crastes, secondly about me. To be make a long story short, I created the article as Bruno Crastes is a very famous figure in the European fund industry know for his track record and for being entrepreneur. He runs one of the largest boutique fund houses in Europe. Before creating the article, I carefully checked that his biography was meeting the requirements to be eligible on Wikipedia. The guidelines re biographies were also strictly followed (early life and education, career and quotes). The article was well documented and well sourced with identified references. The article has been in existence for more than 2 years (as far as I remember) and gradually improved by me and other contributors. There are thousands of entries on him in Google. If we delete his page, why not deleting Ray Dalio, Jean-Marie Eveillard, Howard or hundred of biographies on fund managers? I think that European fund managers are under-represented in Wikipedia compared with US peers and the creation of this page and contributions on other articles.
Some words about me now. it was stated that "Created by Special:Contributions/Gentle_rififi with few other contributions outside this topic." I do not think the comment is fair or accurate. I am an experienced Wikipedian. I have been contributing for more than 10 years. I have around 1'400 contributions on 6 different Wiki projects. I also created several articles in the French Wikipedia and even one in Spanish. See the link: https://tools.wmflabs.org/guc/?user=Gentle+rififi I am confident you will understand my explanations. Wish you a great summer. ( talk), 1 August 2018
Hi Joe, thank you very much for your prompt answer. I took note of your comments and observations. If I take a broader view, I would say that the general procedure of speedy deletion should be amended. Time to allow discussions should be lengthened as some contributors like me may not log on every day. Kind regards Gentle Rififi 1 August 2018

Hi, I noticed you were the deleting administrator of the Nonsuch Parkrun page. I am a runner in the area and am keen to help improve running pages on Wikipedia. I used to read the Nonsuch Parkrun Wikipedia page for information. Scrolling through the relevant AfD, I accept why the page was deleted even though I personally disagreed. I would like to view a copy of it as a draft: articles for creation so I can improve the article and use as a template for creating other articles if I believe notability has been achieved. In the request for undeltion page, I was sent here by anothee user after I wrote a similar message. Thanks Nonsuchpark ( talk) 22:55, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello. Some time ago you closed the AfD for the book Hijo de ladrón by Manuel Rojas as WP:SOFTDELETE because there was WP:NOQUORUM (and no !votes of any kind). I would like you to WP:REFUND the article because the book satisfies GNG by a very wide margin, with entire books of commentary and many book reviews amongst other sources. Sources will be added once the article is restored. Thank you in advance.
To be honest, I suspect it will be found that the other nine articles deleted also satisfy GNG because the editor who created them was clearly working to a plan of some kind, possibly by using the Spanish language Wikipedia to identify notable books written in Spanish.

Hi, your close of the above was to change the deletion to "no consensus", but in your comments you said "The article has since been restored, merged and redirected to list of Japanese supercentenarians anyway, which is not inconsistent with either close, so in the end it is something of a moot point." which seems to imply that the result should be "merge and redirect". Does that mean that the redirect and merge is/was actually the appropriate course of action or that the article should be restored (as has in fact happened)?

On 17 August 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gizzle, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that American rapper Gizzle worked as a ghostwriter for other hip hop artists before releasing her debut mixtape in 2017? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gizzle. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Gizzle), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Greetings Joe. You closed a bunch of heat wave/cold wave AfDs today and I agree with your conclusions for most of them. However, I would like you to reconsider this one: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1995 Great Britain and Ireland heat wave. There is only one person asking to keep the article, and the book they cite does not address this "1995 heat wave" specifically: it just includes a summary list of droughts, including one that extended between 1995 and 1997. All other participants agree to delete the article, and reading it again in light of your "no consensus" close, I see nothing but synthesis of routine weather reports. Please reconsider your assessment of the discussion. — JFG talk 02:44, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Gretings. You closed this AfD with a decision of "no consensus." I have a couple of questions about the closing. First, User:James500 submitted the only suggestion to Keep the article. The suggestion was based on the exact same piece of notability proof used in all of James500's suggestions: A list of droughts, when drought of course is never, in itself, proof of a "heat wave" since droughts can be caused by other reasons as well. It strikes me as a suggestion without substance or a basis in policy. Second, and possibly less important, I thought we have a trainwreck when multiple articles are bundled in the same nomination, which was not the case with any of the heat wave AfD proposals, including the one about the 1995 summer. Any response would be appreciated. Take care. - The Gnome ( talk) 07:14, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Joe Roe. Voting in the 2018 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 3 December. All users who registered an account before Sunday, 28 October 2018, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Thursday, 1 November 2018 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2018 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
You get my vote :) It's somewhat amusing, but while I am still waiting for replies from several candidates, you are the only one who actually was able to access the paper (may I ask how you did that)? I didn't realize that nearly every candidate would just give up seeing the paywalled link (as I did upload the paper to several open access repositories, there's also Sci-Hub, so a minute or two spend with Google, Google Scholar or Sci Hub all yield the paper with no charge and no registration). I will say that it is a bit dispiriting that so many reasonably serious individuals applying for ArbCom either don't have the abilities to locate an academic paper, or the will do do so, particularly considering that being an Arbitrator entitles being, well, digitally literate and not too lazy :> I didn't intend my question to be a test of either of these skills, but I have to say it is proving to be one... -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:26, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. If your account is more than four days old and you have made at least 10 edits you can create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

Hey Joe, sorry to bother you again, but since you're online, could you please take a look at this ? An editor is repeatedly removing content while having been reverted by three other editors (LouisAragon, Oshwah and me). Also, on the article's talk page, he makes personal attacks based on the ethnicity of LouisAragon and me. LouisAragon asked Oshwah for an intervention, but it seems that he's not online.

Hi, thanks for taking on the work to close this discussion. However, I believe you made an error when you closed it as "no consensus to endorse the determination of a consensus". Per WP:DRV#Closing reviews, "if the administrator finds that there is no consensus in the deletion review, then in most cases" – i.e., unless the AfD is relisted – "this has the same effect as endorsing the decision being appealed." This means that, given that you (correctly, in my view) determined that the DRV resulted in no consensus about whether my "delete" closure at AfD was correct, you should then have concluded that the "delete" closure was endorsed by default, and that the article therefore remained deleted. Thanks for your reconsideration. Sandstein 17:27, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
Hello Joe Roe/Archives,
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Hello Joe,
I was reading through the cryptocurrency pages for major exchanges and I noticed that you have removed OKCoin and OKEx?
Can you please elaborate as to why you have done this, given that both pages were drafted in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines and contained valid and checked references?
As an independent contributor, I'd like to create the OKCoin page again, because it is a vital part of the digital assets industry history and removing it along with any other big players would do harm and prevent access to information for many enthusiasts out there.
Thanks,

I see that you declined a speedy deletion nomination because you thought the page was not an example of "Pages in userspace consisting of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals, where the owner has made few or no edits outside of user pages". The page contains nothing except for telling us about the YouTube account of the person who created the page, how many views it has had, and that he is "up and coming". The account has made no edits at all to any page apart from its user page.

Dear Joe Roe,
thanks for the note and the precautions about the copyright issue. I had assumed that the documentation to an open source projects is also open source, but you are right that it should be checked thoroughly. So I started digging and found that Introduction.md in the github project is the same as the documentation hosted at ReadTheDocs. The whole projects is licensed under GLPL, so I think that it is ok to recycle it for Wikipedia and I ask you kindly to restore the page, but you decide. -- Bernhard Treutwein —Preceding undated comment added 16:29, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi there, I saw you reverted my deletion of the list of tells in Tell (archaeology). This list used to be in the article before, but was deleted because the list can never be complete, and "notable" is an extremely arbitrary notion. Looking at the list as it stands now, the first one, Tell Abib, for example isn't notable in any way. In fact, it's not even a place that can be located on a map. And many others are important sites, but I can list dozens of other sites that would be just as notable. So do you have any ideas on how to define "notable" to make this list anything more than just a random listing of sites? Best, Zoeperkoe ( talk) 09:25, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi Joe,
Thanks for your input on Griffin Tomb Warrior. I do see that I tend to add quotes. I know these are not journalism pieces, but I find myself wanting to make the articles more interesting for me to read! I think that may be a weakness of mine unless I work on that issue.
Would you recommend not having any quotable information in articles?. I have noticed some Wiki articles have quotes, but that does not mean it's a good thing.
And was that why Julie K. Stein got a "Start" class or was it the sources I used--All I could find for the most part belonged to her University.
I have contacted Jack Davis, the lead for the Griffin Tomb project. I have been in contact with him before and he was able to direct me to the archivist at the University of Cincinnati to get photos for Ida Hill and Elizabeth Blegen. I hope its ok to contact him for photos for Stocker and the Tomb article. I think the Griffin tomb would look great with lots of artifact photos or illustrations.
How can I make the Griffin Warrior Tomb better?
FYI, I am going to work on my first online Edithon this month. Participating in Women in Red's: Geofocus Britain and Ireland, so I may be able to do a few British archaeologists, but I will be trying some new professional areas for something different.

Hi Joe Roe, may I ask what is your rationale behind the reversion? After your revert I went through another check on all the votes and their reasons, and while I noticed !keep voters attempting to argue their case through on the application of WP:PROF on the contrary of the !delete voters, I was not sure if the present state of discourse constitutes consensus. Still I have decided not to re-revert, and I would like to ask for your views, please. Optakeover (U) (T) (C) 16:21, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, there is no desire to change the guideline to reflect biases. I have pointed this information out numerous times to "those who wrote" (or at least take credit for writing) the guideline and they have not made any attempt to change or alter the data. Like all guideline/policy discussions on WP there is much talk and little movement. I neither have the patience nor will to get into a wall of text discussion on the problems with the guideline, but will continue to maintain (with data to back up my position) that the guideline perpetrates biases and is flawed.

We think you should reverse the exclusion of research within the RCUK top 100 list for Vincent Gaffney- this is notable - the list represents the best research taking place in UK higher education and what it will mean for us in 20 years time. It features research from all fields including science, engineering, social sciences, medicine and the arts and humanities - no other archaeology research made this list Digistuffuk3 ( talk) 11:42, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi I saw you deleted my entry for Anne Churchland on the basis of copyright infringement. I'm not sure Allen institute own copyright to that page you mention but I'm happy to edit it so there's more information and it is less similar to the page on that website. But can you please undelete so I do not have to start from scratch? I now see that Wikipedia policy towards possible infringement is immediate deletion but can the article be placed in a sandbox from which I can do further work? I had added more material and starting from scratch would be a lot of work. Thanks. Voltdye ( talk) 22:27, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
Okay, I see your point. I have now made a new one ( Anne Churchland), using no copyrighted material, and citing a number of sources such as newspaper articles, etc. I hope it's okay now. Clearly it can be improved, but it is a decent starting point I'd think. Voltdye ( talk) 11:31, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
Thanks. I fixed a few more things now. Most citations are no longer bare URLs (Maybe sufficient for banner to go now?) There are two that I don't know how to fix: (1) a bare URL that seems useful but I don't know how to convert to something more permanenent; (2) evidence re brother Mark is actually given in Wikipedia page Patricia Churchland but is it okay to cite a Wikipedia page as a reference (I am not sure).

Hi Joe,
hopefully you remember that you deleted my attempt to create a page about OSTree some weeks ago. If not, there is a reminder on my talk page: Copyright violation at OSTree. In the meantime the project changed their documentation license, so it should be possible to re-instantiate the former contents. See also: OSTree Changed License

When I counted the votes for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sutton Hoo Helmet (sculpture), I saw three people that wanted to keep the article and seven people that wanted something other than keeping (delete, merge, or redirect). These seven thought the article should not have been kept as an independent article due to a lack of notability of the artwork, so I was surprised to see that you closed the AfD as keep. Based on the votes and discussion, I believe the AfD should have been closed as merge, possibly merging part of the article and deleting the rest. — Editør ( talk) 21:30, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Joe,
In regard to Ymyyakhtakh culture, its appearance in Scandinavia is mentioned in English in many sources of varying reliability.
I wonder if this is reliable?
"Bolshoy Oleni Ostrov [Karelian Republic] belongs, surprisingly, to very wide spread NORTH SIBERIAN cultural horizon known as Ymyakhtakh (also in literature: Ymyyakhtakhk and Ymyiakhtakh)."

Thank you for your time and efforts to edit the article. I am not sure about the reason you chose to remove the content. Similar to many academic personalities pages ( /info/en/?search=Wilhelm_Barthlott ; /info/en/?search=Markus_J._Buehler), this page had important details for a professor. The professor is a well-respected person in the field of academia with more than 60k citations to his name ( https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=dtvtjgsAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate). I will request you to undo the content and help up shorten it, rather than removing it altogether. It is highly disrespectful. If you see closely, in past, other Wikipedia content editors had asked to include/remove the info that was out there. Devgurera ( talk) 22:29, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
Your close as keep was somewhat surprising to me. Could you take another look? It would also be helpful if you could expand your closing statement to include some detail of how you weighed the various arguments. Thanks. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:51, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
(ec) Joe, I appreciate the time you've taken to discuss this, but I think you've made a mistake here. You said, Prince of Thieves didn't offer an opinion either way. Well, it's true that he didn't put a bolded bulleted !vote up front, but the only (non) source he provided was an instagram post, which surely isn't a WP:RS. He even pointed out that either name in the post was unverifiable and suggested that it was probably a circular reference to us. I'm willing to be somewhat flexible on WP:N, but we really need to hold the line on WP:V. I hope you don't mind if I take this to WP:DRV for more sets of eyes. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:00, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello Joe Roe/Archives, thank you for your efforts reviewing New Page and AfC submissions and your support for the ACTRIAL initiative.
The conclusion to the ACTRIAL report commissioned by the Wikimedia Foundation strongly reiterates our long-time on going requirements for the NPP and AfC processes to be improved. Within minutes of the trial being switched off, the feed was swamped with inappropriate creations and users are being blocked already.
This is now the moment to continue to collaborate with the WMF and their developers to bring the entire Curation system up to date by making a firm commitment to addressing the
list of requirements to the excellent suite of tools the WMF developed for Curation. Some of these are already listed at Phabricator but may need a boost.
The conclusions also make some recommendations for AfC.
A place to discuss these issues initially is
here where you are already a task force member.

As per WP:MERGEINIT, discussing a merger first is up to the discretion of the editor. To quote "If the need for a merge is obvious, individual editors can be bold and simply do it." The obvious need for a merge is justified as follows: the official page of the University of Oxford currently lists the department as School of Archaeology link and the School page notes that it is formed from the Institute and RLAHA link, which makes the existence of two separate pages for these entities, which are not separate departments, pointless. The existing RLAHA article is also a stub.
According to wiki guidelines, therefore, it's insubstantial to call a merge controversial simply because there was no discussion. Amys eye ( talk) 14:56, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello,
My name is William Fitts, I created the original Ralph de Warenne page and you improved it to a point that Wikipedia didn't delete it the first time and I thank you. This page is a work in progress and unfortunately I do not know how to navigate he various tools required by Wiki that will appease them. I am a researcher and not a tech type. I have recently cleared the negativity wrought by Sir Charles T. Clay, via Early Yorkshire Charters, Vol. 8. Clay drew a great line in the sand historically with his statement that Ranulf and Radulf were distinct and could not represent one in the same man? Here is my latest advance in disproving Clay's statement. The following is an email exchange between Dr. Peter McClure and myself which is about the Radulf?Ran(d)ulf problem, also his Biography is included:

to me
Dear Bill
Luckily I’ve made up time on my other commitments this morning so I can respond to you now instead of waiting till next week. Many thanks for all the images. You have done your research meticulously and that is a great help. I agree with you that there are some Anglo-Norman men named as Ran(d)ulfus and Radulfus and I remember having come across this problem myself when working with 12th-century and early 13th-century records. I thought then, and I still do, that it is likely that medieval clerks sometimes confused the two names in their Latin forms. However, I doubt if it represents an equivalence of the vernacular forms. The vernacular form latinised as Radulfus was Raulf, Rauf or Raoul. The vernacular form latinised as Ran(d)ulfus was Randolf. It is theoretically conceivable that Randolf could have been reduced to Ralf in some pronunciations but, as there seem to be no parallels in Anglo-Norman French or in Middle English for loss of /n/ or /nd/ between vowels in a stressed syllable, this seems fairly unlikely. The vernacular surnames Randolf/Randal and Ralph are common in medieval records but never seem to be interchangeable. So I suspect that the confusion or interchange of Ran(d)ulfus and Radulfus probably occurred only in the written latinised forms and is a scribal rather than a spoken phenomenon. All the same, because the latinisation of personal names was a regular practice, it can create difficulty for anyone trying to establish whether a man who is named Ran(d)ulfus and a man named Radulfus are two different men or the same man. So, yes, you’ve convinced me that it is possible Ranulfus and Radulfus de Warenne could refer to a single individual.
Thank you again. You’ve reminded me of significant issue, which I’ve not given enough attention to in the past.

Dear Bill,
I did think of referring you to the Winton Domesday edition but I didn’t need to, did I! Yes, I said much the same thing in the Durham Liber Vitae edition but I didn’t cite the examples you have drawn my attention to. I am grateful for them, since if I ever need to comment on the Radulfus/Ranulfus problem again I can quote them, with acknowledgment to you for having pointed them out to me. You are welcome to cite my comments in anything you publish and to contact me again in the future.

Peter McClure, Honorary Professor (Name-Studies), Faculty of Arts Contact: University of Nottingham, School of English, Room A64 Trent Building, University Park,Nottingham, NG7 2RD,UK Telephone: 01482 845734 Email: peter@mcclure.karoo.co.uk Biography: I was educated at the University of Nottingham (BA English Language and Literature), where I also conducted postgraduate research on 'The surnames of medieval Nottinghamshire'. I then spent twenty-five years lecturing in the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Hull, where I also received my PhD by published work: 'Studies in the interpretation of Middle English personal names and surnames'. In 1977 I founded Nomina, the Journal of the Council (now the Society) for Name Studies in Britain and Ireland and remained its editor until 1985. I am former President and currently Vice-President of that Society and I am Vice-President of the English Place-Name Society. Since 2007 I have been acting as a consultant to the Oxford English Dictionary on English personal names and surnames. In 2016 I joined the Institute for Name-Studies at Nottingham as an Honorary Professor. Current Research Summary: This is mainly focused on the etymologies and linguistic development of modern family names, as part of my editorial work for the Oxford Dictionary of Family Names in Britain and Ireland (2016). A second, revised and expanded edition is in preparation. Since modern surnames are often opaque or are only deceptively intelligible, I am also gathering data that reveals the phonological and morphological patterns by which Middle English surnames became misleadingly transformed in early Modern English. I have a long-term interest in medieval personal names and surnames as a source of information about the people who bore them, their origins, language, occupations and behaviour. I am currently writing a chapter on ‘Personal names as evidence for migrants in medieval England’ in a forthcoming book Migrants in Medieval England c.500–1500 edited by Joanna Story, Mark Ormrod and Elizabeth Tyler, to be published by the British Academy. Past Research: Most of my previous publications relate to the late medieval period, with a particular emphasis on the methodology by which people's names can be reliably exploited as evidence for social and economic history and for historical linguistics. Appointment of Peter McClure as Honorary Professor of Name-Studies: 1 August 2016 The INS is delighted to announce the forthcoming appointment of Dr. Peter McClure as Honorary Professor within the Institute for Name-Studies. Peter is an internationally-recognized pioneer of rigorous onomastic methodology, and the foremost British scholar working on medieval personal names. He is Honorary Vice-President of the English Place-Name Society and president of the Society for Name Studies in Britain and Ireland. His association with Nottingham is long-standing – he was both undergraduate and postgraduate at the University, as a student of the late Professor Kenneth Cameron, head of the Department of English and eminent place-name scholar.
I am curently working with Englis authorities to try to prove that Ralph de Warenne died with his brother while on the Second Crusade. I have already proved that Ralph de Warenne's son William fitz Ranulf was a participate in the Third Crusade.
Thanks for trying to help in saving the Wikipedia article and I hope that with your navigating skills that you can apply my thoughts in preserving the cite.

You probably wont remember me but you were amazing with my dads article and you helped me so very much. I am back as a tv company is interested in his story. I tried to remove the athens pic but couldnt. I added new pics, one french woman said one was blurry, I sent in a clearer one as she removed the other. Then I got a message in French which I dont understand. Then i added comments to a pic and it has duplicated. What an idiot I am and you are away so I dont know what to do but if you come back and could help in tidying it with me I would be eternally grateful, there is someone else altering things and I am not very confident as he seems to be very argumentative with others, I dont know, wish you were here!!! kareenza Kareenza ( talk) 15:00, 12 May 2018 (UTC) terence hogan

It would be amazing if you would keep an eye on it. There is talk of a documenary regarding the perils of crime so I was trying to make it look good. You were sorely missed!!!

I am not sure if it ok to post a chat to you on here but hope ok. I got this message Hello Kareenza. No worries, and no need to apologize. Lets take this calmly. A few questions: You said you took some of the pictures? Those should be fine if it is not used anywhere else. If they are used elsewhere, did they clearly credit you? If not, why not? For the pictures you didn't take, but wish to be uploaded; that may be tricky. It mostly depends on the year of publication, the current copyright holder (if copyright is not expired), and also if the copyright holder is willing to release it under a more relaxed license. As you said, you're not sure who took them. Are these photos published anywhere (internet or offline)? I answered best I could some are mine, some are step mothers, all taken before 1978. I can ask step mum to sign off, but what and where is the form. Some pics are from the daily mail article but the DM pics editor says the pics are my copyright. So things are very complex and I am not sure anyone would take this on ie in uploading pics, what should I do, shud I just leave it with people editing, can u help? People seem to be coming in and out which I appreciate but the pics is a real worry as Im worried if I upload anything I would start a war again :) kareenza–––– — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kareenza ( talk • contribs) 11:11, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Joe. I edited an entry you listed as needing cleanup from translation. The page is at /info/en/?search=Cossack_raid_on_Istanbul_(1620).

Joe, you've just redirected to the glossary two articles that were, rightly or wrongly, classed as "top importance" for the archaeology Wikiproject (Context and association), plus the mid-importance flotation. You should at the least put your hit-list on project talk for reactions. If you are going to redirect you probably want to remove the project stuff on talk too.

Hello Joe,
I'm sorry it seems i may have skipped the moving pages part of guidelines for granting rights. I am well conversant with moving pages including most common reasons that lead to moving pages like the naming conventions, misspelled name or no capitalization and also draft article that are ready to be moved into mainspace. I don't know if i can resubmit my application or i should wait for a while, please advise. Already if you can check you'd see i've been tagging pages and also helping out for a while now.

At some point I'd like to have the deleted article in my sandbox, along with its history so that I could choose an earlier version to work on. But first I must ask two questions: (1) I was just topic-banned from medicine-related articles for 6 months (recently closed on AN/I). Does this mean that I'm not allowed to work on such an article in my sandbox during this period, and need to ask you again in December after the ban expires? (2) In either case, when in the sandbox, how can I change the title (perhaps to "Criticism of mainstream medical practice") while preserving attribution? I've had trouble understanding attribution and made two mistakes recently (making a copy for my sandbox, and blanking it rather than deleting the sandbox when I was informed that the copy was against policy). Thank you. NightHeron ( talk) 21:53, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi Joe,
I have been creating a number of articles on African American archaeologists. I would like to add a category for this group. I am not sure exactly how to do that--this sounds different than creating an article. If you think its a good idea, would you be able to create the category (or sub category) for me?
I was also wondering what you thought of the idea of creating an article for the Society of Black Archaeologists? They are fairly new, but it also sounds like they are not quite a formal organization at this point. I learned about their organization thru my research on Alexandra Jones (archaeologist)
Please advise on both issues. Thanks MauraWen ( talk) 21:05, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you *very* much for approving the article. Although it reads now as a penny dreadful, if you bear with me I may get a few usable pictures as well as more a few more scholarly sources. St. Caurgula ( talk) 22:33, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
1. Here's a Vice article that directly mentions Orjan Larsen and includes an interview with him in person. Note that while Vice Waypoint is not under the print magazine, it's a professionally edited publication a la Vox.com. There are more articles referencing Orjan Larsen from mainstream Norwegian periodicals.
2. Context matters. While articles by Vice magazine may be unreliable for biographies of a politician or academic, they can be both reliable and significant as a source for online entertainment; in fact, oftentimes online periodicals are the *only* reliable publication available for online entertainment. For example, check the bibliography section of PewDiePie in which the vast majority of references come from Tubefilter and Game N Guide. That's a GA-class article across six different projects; the inclusion of those sources reflects the consensus of the closest WikiProject about what constitute reliable sources for online entertainment BLPs - i.e. high-traffic online publications generally pass the reliability guideline. Vice, which covered Orjan Larsen, is far more mainstream and prominent than either Tubefilter or Game N Guide.
3. Career earnings are an often used criterion for notability for professional e-gamers. For example, see the lede of Lim Yo-hwan, or the infobox for eSports players. I don't believe there's a WP MOS page for e-gamers, but IMO using career earnings as a metric for professional e-gamers falls under common sense.
4. Back when I was a regular editor in Wikipedia, using anti-vandalism tools to revert good-faith edits - including disputes about notability - was considered poor etiquette. I don't know if that's still true, but I'm puzzled at why someone whose expertise doesn't lie in this project area couldn't bother to have a discussion about notability before a second revert. The original writer of that article (i.e. this IP) clearly had a basic grasp of Wikipedia MOS and notability guidelines, and so do I. 143.89.90.207 ( talk) 02:21, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi Joe,
I went through the R programming page. The "tidyverse" is not mentioned once, so I don't see the need to link to one (paid) author's collection of packages. Especially since the "tibble" package, changes the way R handles data.frames, which in my opinion is confusing to new users. To be clear, I personally really like RStudio and some of Hadley Wickham's packages, but I don't think the link is appropriate here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bquast ( talk • contribs) 08:24, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

I am seeking our advice. I came back to you very on the topic. I am extremely surprised to see that the article I created Bruno Crates has been deleted. Bruno Crastes is one of the most famous fund managers in Europe. I can see 17000 entries in Google. If we delete his page, why not deleting the article re Ray Dalio? The article has been in existence for more than 2 years as far as I remember. Unfortunately, I was busy with my work and did not have a look on my Wikipedia. To be true, I did not expect an article well sourced, documented with references to be deleted after 2 years. Someone stated "Singificant RS coverage not found". I am not sure what RS means. What does it mean?. Last but least, I would like to comment on the last sentence "Created by Special:Contributions/Gentle_rififi with few other contributions outside this topic." I am extremely surprised by this sentence. I have been contributing for 10 years. I have between 1 to 2 thousand contributions on Wikipedia mostly on the French Wikipedia.I also created several articles in the French Wikipedia and even one in Spanish. One of the key arguments saying that basically I had little experience is wrong. I understand that this speedy deletion has been trigered by the article H2O Asset Management. It is true that I created this article based on the template of Calamos Asset Management among others. The artcle was far for perfect. I wanted to improve it but was stuck with an urgennt projects at my office. How could I recreate the article without facing the risk of another deletion? Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

Dear Joe Roe, you helped me with my Wikipedia article on C.C. Huijsmans, which was great. Today I was adding to and correcting a Wikipedia article on George Cheyne (Physician). However, all my additions were suddenly removed by an undoubtedly well meaning S. Philbrick, because of a supposed copyright issue. Therefore I would like to ask for your help as I am slightly confused now. I referred to a book The Spiritual Side of Samuel Richardson, which I wrote for my Ph.D. degree at the University of Leiden. I perhaps wrongly thought that I could refer to this book, and several pages if necessary. I am not really using parts of my book or reproducing it in the George Cheyne article. I am merely giving the source so as to make verification possible for third parties, just as I am mentioning other books such as the one by Anita Guerrini. S. Philbrick suggests that I can solve this copyright problem by handing over to Wikipedia the copyright of my book, which means that anyone can use or change the content of the book. Now that I really do not like. Please help! Best regards, Hanengerda ( talk) 13:55, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
I've re-added the categories such as Category:1911 novels. Not sure whether this is standard practice or not. Either (a) It helps the reader who is looking for novels of that category, or (b) it hinders them as this novel has been declared not notable enough for its own article. Might ask at the Books Wikiproject whether there's a view, or a guideline, on this. Pam D 16:02, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
With respect, I have not misunderstood the criteria for deletion. It is the other editors who, in voting for keep have not appreciated the situation. What has happened it this: up to the year 2017 there was no ambiguity regarding the term "silicic acid". Then, with the publication of the paper by Igarashi and others, the article title became ambiguous as it can now refer to two distinct chemical compounds with chemical formulae SiO2 and Si(OH)4,repectively. The existence of the paper was first revealed to me in the body of the talk page by user:XOR'easter.
My proposal, at the bottom of the talk page was, effectively, to replace the article by a new one with a distinct title. There a draft of the new article at User:Petergans/sandbox.
The situation is complicated by the fact that compounds with the chemical formulae SiO2,xH2O are commonly called "Silicic acid", which is contrary the IUPAC rules on chemical nomenclature. Silicon dioxide may be referred to by the archaic name silicic acid anhydride.
I have since found a second article, Orthosilicic acid, whose title does not reflect its contents, which refer exclusively to silicon dioxide. I will, in future, transfer the relevant material to silicon dioxide and then call for it to be deleted. Petergans ( talk) 10:24, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
(no indent)This response is unsatisfactory. Much of the current article silicic acid is drivel. For example, the suggested structures for
Formula | Name | Computed Structure |
---|---|---|
H 2SiO 3 or SiO(OH) 2 |
metasilicic acid |
![]() |
H 2Si 2O 5 or Si 2O 3(OH) 2 |
disilicic acid |
![]() |
are pure nonsense as no 3-coordinate silicate structures are known. Statement like
"The silicon-oxygen double bond of metasilicic acid, implied by the formula H
2SiO
3, is hypothetical or highly unstable. Such double bonds can be
hydrated to a pair of
hydroxyl (OH) groups.<ref name=gye/>
are equally nonsensical as the structure =Si=O is not present in any known silicate. The reference to Gye is bogus. In fact all the references except to Iler are bogus or irrelevant.
If I thought that there was anything worth saving in the current article, I would, of course not suggest deletion. On the issue of links, I can make sure that any essential link will be re-directed.
The article I'm preparing in my sandbox should be entitled "Silicic acids". Surely a clash with "Silicic acid" is to be avoided? The answer is simple: anything relevant to silicon dioxide and its hydrates should be moved to the article silicon dioxide; there is no need to have separate article such as silicic acid and silicon dioxide when they deal, in the same way. with the same group of chemical compounds.
I am appalled by your suggestion that IUPAC rules should be ignored when naming chemical compounds. The correct procedure is to use the IUPAC name, followed, if necessary, by aka... . I have modified the lead for silicon dioxide to conform to this convention. Petergans ( talk) 13:20, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello Joe Roe/Archives, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.

I am coming back to you very lately. My job have been driving me away from Wikipedia for weeks if not months. An article I wrote "Bruno Crates" was deleted 2 months ago. I just realized it being back to Wikipedia earlier this week. As suggested on the Talk page of the deleted article, I am contacting you as I would like to recreate the page. Here are my arguments for that. Basically they are twofold. First about Bruno Crastes, secondly about me. To be make a long story short, I created the article as Bruno Crastes is a very famous figure in the European fund industry know for his track record and for being entrepreneur. He runs one of the largest boutique fund houses in Europe. Before creating the article, I carefully checked that his biography was meeting the requirements to be eligible on Wikipedia. The guidelines re biographies were also strictly followed (early life and education, career and quotes). The article was well documented and well sourced with identified references. The article has been in existence for more than 2 years (as far as I remember) and gradually improved by me and other contributors. There are thousands of entries on him in Google. If we delete his page, why not deleting Ray Dalio, Jean-Marie Eveillard, Howard or hundred of biographies on fund managers? I think that European fund managers are under-represented in Wikipedia compared with US peers and the creation of this page and contributions on other articles.
Some words about me now. it was stated that "Created by Special:Contributions/Gentle_rififi with few other contributions outside this topic." I do not think the comment is fair or accurate. I am an experienced Wikipedian. I have been contributing for more than 10 years. I have around 1'400 contributions on 6 different Wiki projects. I also created several articles in the French Wikipedia and even one in Spanish. See the link: https://tools.wmflabs.org/guc/?user=Gentle+rififi I am confident you will understand my explanations. Wish you a great summer. ( talk), 1 August 2018
Hi Joe, thank you very much for your prompt answer. I took note of your comments and observations. If I take a broader view, I would say that the general procedure of speedy deletion should be amended. Time to allow discussions should be lengthened as some contributors like me may not log on every day. Kind regards Gentle Rififi 1 August 2018

Hi, I noticed you were the deleting administrator of the Nonsuch Parkrun page. I am a runner in the area and am keen to help improve running pages on Wikipedia. I used to read the Nonsuch Parkrun Wikipedia page for information. Scrolling through the relevant AfD, I accept why the page was deleted even though I personally disagreed. I would like to view a copy of it as a draft: articles for creation so I can improve the article and use as a template for creating other articles if I believe notability has been achieved.

Hello. Some time ago you closed the AfD for the book Hijo de ladrón by Manuel Rojas as WP:SOFTDELETE because there was WP:NOQUORUM (and no !votes of any kind). I would like you to WP:REFUND the article because the book satisfies GNG by a very wide margin, with entire books of commentary and many book reviews amongst other sources. Sources will be added once the article is restored. Thank you in advance.
To be honest, I suspect it will be found that the other nine articles deleted also satisfy GNG because the editor who created them was clearly working to a plan of some kind, possibly by using the Spanish language Wikipedia to identify notable books written in Spanish.

Hi, your close of the above was to change the deletion to "no consensus", but in your comments you said "The article has since been restored, merged and redirected to list of Japanese supercentenarians anyway, which is not inconsistent with either close, so in the end it is something of a moot point." which seems to imply that the result should be "merge and redirect". Does that mean that the redirect and merge is/was actually the appropriate course of action or that the article should be restored (as has in fact happened)?

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Comparison of the founders of religious traditions is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of the founders of religious traditions until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. — Paleo Neonate – 21:52, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

The article Clara W. McMaster was nominated for deletion and deleted while I had pneumonia and I was not able to weigh in. The article was years old so I can't remember exactly what state it was in. Would you be so kind to restore it as a Draft: so I can revisit it? Much thanks. Thmazing ( talk) 19:27, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi there. Per WP:P-NUK, the correct spelling on the English Wikipedia for the Ukrainian capital is Kiev, and not Kyiv. AusLondonder ( talk) 05:03, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
The paragraph you deleted here is a Wikipedia naming conventions guideline, and is consensus by default as it has stood unchallenged for years. If you wish to challenge consensus, do so on the guideline's talk page per WP:BRD, not by simply deleting it claiming that you see no consensus for it.
The only problem I see with the paragraph is stating that it was originally transliterated from Russian (which is WP:OFFTOPIC in context). I'm starting a new thread on the corresponding talk page. Thanks for your attention. -- Iryna Harpy ( talk) 06:04, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Greetings Joe. You closed a bunch of heat wave/cold wave AfDs today and I agree with your conclusions for most of them. However, I would like you to reconsider this one: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1995 Great Britain and Ireland heat wave. There is only one person asking to keep the article, and the book they cite does not address this "1995 heat wave" specifically: it just includes a summary list of droughts, including one that extended between 1995 and 1997. All other participants agree to delete the article, and reading it again in light of your "no consensus" close, I see nothing but synthesis of routine weather reports. Please reconsider your assessment of the discussion. — JFG talk 02:44, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi Joe, Greetings of the day!
Hope you are doing well. I wanted to understand the guidelines for including our page of MBA Rendezvous on Wikipedia because Students ask us during workshops regarding wikipedia page of MBA Rendezvous. Hence we thought of a wikipedia page for MBA Rendezvous for providing information to MBA Aspirants. But it was deleted. Please suggest on the same. Looking forward to your help please.

Gretings. You closed this AfD with a decision of "no consensus." I have a couple of questions about the closing. First, User:James500 submitted the only suggestion to Keep the article. The suggestion was based on the exact same piece of notability proof used in all of James500's suggestions: A list of droughts, when drought of course is never, in itself, proof of a "heat wave" since droughts can be caused by other reasons as well. It strikes me as a suggestion without substance or a basis in policy. Second, and possibly less important, I thought we have a trainwreck when multiple articles are bundled in the same nomination, which was not the case with any of the heat wave AfD proposals, including the one about the 1995 summer. Any response would be appreciated. Take care. - The Gnome ( talk) 07:14, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello Joe Roe/Archives, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July.

Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.

Hi Joe, I opened a RfC concerning a dispute in Talk:Saudi Arabia, after a period of time it expired and was deleted by the bot, in the RfC page it says that the RfC could be restored after its deletion by the bot, but when I did it (since two support one encompassing section and two support separate sections for the pre Islamic history of Saudi Arabia, so more opinions are needed to form a consensus) it was deleted again soon after by the bot.

Hello, Joe Roe. Voting in the 2018 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 3 December. All users who registered an account before Sunday, 28 October 2018, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Thursday, 1 November 2018 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2018 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
You get my vote :) It's somewhat amusing, but while I am still waiting for replies from several candidates, you are the only one who actually was able to access the paper (may I ask how you did that)? I didn't realize that nearly every candidate would just give up seeing the paywalled link (as I did upload the paper to several open access repositories, there's also Sci-Hub, so a minute or two spend with Google, Google Scholar or Sci Hub all yield the paper with no charge and no registration). I will say that it is a bit dispiriting that so many reasonably serious individuals applying for ArbCom either don't have the abilities to locate an academic paper, or the will do do so, particularly considering that being an Arbitrator entitles being, well, digitally literate and not too lazy :> I didn't intend my question to be a test of either of these skills, but I have to say it is proving to be one... -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:26, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. If your account is more than four days old and you have made at least 10 edits you can create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

Hi, thanks for taking on the work to close this discussion. However, I believe you made an error when you closed it as "no consensus to endorse the determination of a consensus". Per WP:DRV#Closing reviews, "if the administrator finds that there is no consensus in the deletion review, then in most cases" – i.e., unless the AfD is relisted – "this has the same effect as endorsing the decision being appealed." This means that, given that you (correctly, in my view) determined that the DRV resulted in no consensus about whether my "delete" closure at AfD was correct, you should then have concluded that the "delete" closure was endorsed by default, and that the article therefore remained deleted. Thanks for your reconsideration. Sandstein 17:27, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
Hello Joe Roe/Archives,
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Hello Joe,
I was reading through the cryptocurrency pages for major exchanges and I noticed that you have removed OKCoin and OKEx?
Can you please elaborate as to why you have done this, given that both pages were drafted in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines and contained valid and checked references?
As an independent contributor, I'd like to create the OKCoin page again, because it is a vital part of the digital assets industry history and removing it along with any other big players would do harm and prevent access to information for many enthusiasts out there.
Thanks,
