![]() | On 5 January 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Abhishek Bachchan filmography, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that in the film Paa ("Father"), actor Abhishek Bachchan portrays a father, while his real-life father, actor Amitabh Bachchan, plays the role of his 13-year-old son? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Abhishek Bachchan filmography. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

« Probable conflict of interest ? » And you think it’s « neutral » Melanie to write such a phrase ? You accuse someone of « probable conflict of interest » without any proof ? Just by reflex ? Is it journalistic ? Is it respecting the freedom of speech to have as first reflex to put some doubt about the neutrality of a journalist, and to propose to delete a page ? /info/en/?search=First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution
Since when is it a « conflict of interest » to write about yourself or about your creation or company ? Where as it been written that it’s not part of the freedom of speech to speak about yourself or to speak about your creation or company ?
My first reflex as a professional journalist is to be neutral. I’m not publishing my name to make my own advertising, you can erase my name, it’s not a problem. When i put my name, I just do LIKE THE OTHERS DO, to be conform with Wikipedia. This is my first reflex, not to try to put censorship everywhere.
I made a French newspaper in the US for the first time since ??? a very long time. If you think it’s not interesting, then explain us why the other newspapers published in the past are in Wikipedia !? /info/en/?search=List_of_French-language_newspapers_published_in_the_United_States
Is there so many newspapers created in the US during the last years that the first reflex shouldn’t be to support journalism, but instead to propose to erase the mention of this new newspapers in Wikipedia ?
Someone may study the case, someone may change the text, wiki is done for that. I’m just surprised that some people are just obsessed by censorship or to put some doubt about « neutrality ».
Please check the facts before accusing ; that’s what us, journalists, are obliged to do. And it’s a good rule. G. Gauthier — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.127.100.103 ( talk) 14:21, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
There is a conflict of interest if i ask to 50 friends to do it for me ; not if i assume what i'm writing !!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:37f6:4670:2ce7:8b30:f2d8:dca ( talk • contribs)
Le Courrier de Floride is most known that 100% of the former local french newspapers in the US which are listed in the wikipedia list.

Hi. I came across Ika Hügel-Marshall which is up for AfD but a book search reveals a huge amount of sources. Not sure of whether the coverage is significant, but I'm going to see if I can expand it a bit, and if you want to help, that would be great. This might just be another potential AfD -> GA, depending on the level of sourcing I can find. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:43, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article

This needs some Copyediting. And I was thinking about a DYK. Jim Carter 15:42, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
Today Acentrogobius kranjiensis was submitted as the first article ever by User:Pi-gimjiRu, and after checking Fishbase, ITIS and some other sources, I think this species is not valid, it seems to be a synomym with Drombus kranjiensis, see genus Drombus on wikipedia, http://www.fishbase.se/summary/Drombus-globiceps.html on Fishbase, and http://www.gbif.org/species/106851867 on gbif.org etc. I guess one option is to redirect the article to Drombus kranjiensis, if this is the valid species? What do you think? Dan Koehl ( talk) 23:50, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
Good wishes for your upcoming RFA. I really like the way you have answered question 3, with ANI links. Hope for the best. -- Tito☸ Dutta 09:57, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Just thought I would pop in to say good luck with your RFA! Love the answers to the questions. As for the one that User:NE_Ent removed I was actually asked the same question many moons ago. Personally I don't see the question as irrelevant as I learn't a lot about you through your answer. I would restore it but would rather not accidentally create any drama or large discussion about what is and is not relevant! ·addshore· talk to me! 00:53, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

While you're waiting for your mop and bucket to be FedExed, could I interest you in saving Sonia Poulton from AfD? I've done a bit of cleanup, and I think much more can be done to save it - unfortunately her main work has been at the end of journalism that Wikipedia doesn't really like, so I think it'll involve pulling together lots of bits of carefully picked sources. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:45, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
I very much appreciate the support and encouragement I have been getting at my Request for Adminship. However, I'd like to ask that you hold off on "congratulations" type messages until the discussion is closed and the mop (if any) actually awarded. OK? -- MelanieN ( talk) 14:52, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Congratulations, I have just closed your RfA as successful and made you an administrator.

Hi Melanie - just wanted to let you know about a new PL neighborhood article I just wrote. I think it may have been the last SD neighborhood without one - at least it was the only redlink in the communities box. There was very little usable info I found outside of the SD police map and the Peninsula community plan (which actually doesn't use the term "Point Loma Heights"). Which makes some sense, as I always considered this part of PL "generic Point Loma". Please take a look and add to it as you are able. Thanks! Dohn joe ( talk) 03:50, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
