Hey NA, I don't believe Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phoebe Allen's Hummingbird Webcam qualified for a non-admin closure since its outcome required judgment and NACs are reserved for housekeeping. NAC "no consensus" closures are only for discussions where there is little to no discussion—it's more "no consensus with no prejudice for renom" than a ticket to close "no consensus" methinks. czar ♔ 04:34, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi -- I have a question. I noticed on an article that you and I both edited recently that you added a "|2" to make the references section two columns. I've often done that in the past as well.
An editor is continually reverting me, and reverting as well the prior long-established formats of articles that are "|2". Insisting that a "|2" format is strictly verboten. And only em columns are allowed.
Thoughts? Thanks. -- Epeefleche ( talk) 07:19, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Northamerica1000
If I drastically shorten the article is there any hope of it being allowed? I note that WGBC, USGBC, UKGBC and other councils are published - so its logical we should be there too.
Am ready to change style accordingly although from USGBC the start reads very commercially - thats what I was basing my style on.

Hello North, I just saw this new list article you created. I am thinking perhaps you did not already know that we have had (for quite a few years) a rather nice navigational template which contains a well-organized list of edible mollusks? Your list is in alphabetical order, which might seem like a good idea, but nearly all the species are known by a common name as well as a scientific name, therefore listing them alphabetically without separating clams from snails etc is probably not very useful to a reader. Also your list has only one reference, and that ref only covers abalone. And it contains no freshwater or land species. Anyway, tell me what you think once you have looked at the template. Invertzoo ( talk) 13:26, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
Another point that more than one malacologist author has made in the past is that almost all mollusks are edible, it's just a question of which ones are considered to be the most palatable (and easiest to harvest) in any given part of the world. Invertzoo ( talk) 13:29, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Just a quick note about sharenting. The two sources that you added are already in the article – the Gulf News article is syndicated from The Guardian, and the ABC2 story is the regional, syndicated version of the national ABC article. If you look closely, they have the same bylines and content, even though the titles are different. It's obviously a devious plot to get us to include them in our articles.

Hello North, thanks for your closure on this. But I disagree that it is a no consensus. The nomination itself is an implied delete !vote (assuming the closer agrees that it is policy-based), so in the absence of keep !votes, the outcome should have been a soft delete performed by an admin. Had there been a single valid !keep vote, your closure would have been appropriate. § FreeRangeFrog croak 16:45, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi North, I have seen your work on Wikipedia and your copy-editing skills are spot on and very accurate. I would like to ask you if you could make edits to the page of Expedia ( /info/en/?search=Expedia), as there is some information missing from the page. Would you be willing to make edits to the page so that it's complete? The main areas that I think needs more information are the infobox on the top right, and external links.
To be specific, I think the infobox at top right needs more information, and fields more in line with other global travel brands like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TripAdvisor, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivago or and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodafone_Hutchison_Australia. The infobox also needs to change URLs to be within 'website' (at the bottom) rather than 'Web address' (at the top), and it needs to include links to Expedia ccTLD: US, CA, UK, AU & NZ (in that order) in the same shape as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivago In regards to external Links, I think it should link to Expedia ccTLD in the same shape as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TripAdvisor with the same links as on #3.
Let me know, I would highly appreciate your assistance in this matter.
Erexkiss ( talk) 12:52, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for this North. Regarding other country-specific web addresses, I am reluctant to edit the page as I'm not a seasoned Wikipedia editor, therefore I fear that if I make edits I will compromise Expedia's page and my own account. Would you be willing to add 5 additional web addresses if I give them to you? Your help is much appreciated. Erexkiss ( talk) 09:47, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Your are more than helpful, I highly appreciate your time. the URLs are as follows: http://www.expedia.ca/ for Canada, http://www.expedia.com.au/ for Australia, http://www.expedia.co.nz/ for New Zealand, http://www.expedia.it/ for Italy, http://www.expedia.fr/ for France, and http://www.expedia.de/ for Germany. Many thanks North. Erexkiss ( talk) 10:37, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Many Thanks! Is there some sort of risk of compromising the Expedia page, or my account, if I go ahead and update the External Links section with the same information, as currently only US and UK links are present there? it looks a bit unfinished in its current state.

The Open faced sandwich article has been quite unnecessarily butchered by an editor. These facts are not controversial, but quite well know undisputed dishes. I think people should not not mass-remove every sentence that doesn’t have an inline citation, just add a citation if indeed is needed and somebody will find those sources. WP:PRESERVE. This is not a not controversial topic, and references can be found. Before removing ANYTHING - make sure that there indeed is no such reference for it YOU can find yourself. Otherwise it is just disruptive editing -> Wikipedia:Disruptive editing forcing other people to start working to find references, when the removed things have been just quite alright, and when they could use their time for better things than start hunting references for totally uncontroversial topics. This is forcing other people who want to build an encyclopaedia to go and work a lot and do the work this guy could do just as well. WP:PRESERVE is about preserve content. Right, we need references for the American stuff, I fix the Europeans. It is the same thing that happened to Breakfast... Hafspajen ( talk) 12:20, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Dear reviewer, I wanted to create an article in Wikipedia for 'the golden ratio ruler', without success. This instrument is used by ancient artists and architects. An actual copy (?) is in the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque, France, of which a photograph is in my website. I have analyzed selected artworks many of which are Wikipedia articles. I kindly ask you to visit my site and see what can be done about it. This forgotten instrument of art must receive its due respect. My regards. Ates Gulcugil atesgulcugil@hotmail.com

Hi. The actual golden ratio rule is in the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque. The Earl kinly sent me its photo. You can see it in my website: http://039a2b6.netsolhost.com/thegoldenrule.html How can I show a 'reliable' source when even they don't know what it is? However if the words written on it (coudee, empan, palme, paume) are entered in Googele similar carpenter's rules can be found and their owners have the knowledge that they are golden ratio rules. The golden rule is described in my website. What I have discovered is that it has been used for most art pieces, ancient and medieval and renaissance. These are in my web. Kind regards.

Hello Northamerica1000:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long
Backlog Elimination Drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unreviewed articles. The drive is running from June 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014.
Awards will be given out for all reviewers participating in the drive in the form of barnstars at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 2900 articles, so start reviewing articles! Visit the
drive's page and help out!
I've always seen closures such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frank A. DeMarco and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Great Blue Hill eruption prank to be outside the purview of non-admin closure since they involve some form of judgment that isn't plain housekeeping. (E.g., something like "no consensus" for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dr Zeus may be the right closure argument, would be inappropriate for a NAC because it's not due to a lack of discussion.) Just wanted to run that past you for consideration czar ♔ 13:32, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you for the talkback link to the deletion page discussion. I really don't even like Luther Vandross, but now I've been spending the morning adding sources to his article. Pet peeve: all those 'citation needed' tags after every statement; even though the article has a large issue tag at the top for more references. All that to say; although I am rather allergic to lists themselves; I will reconsider my merge vote and change to go to your article of list of tours. It is less likely to be deleted than all those pithy articles for each tour. Only one of those articles even has a talk page and it just has a sandbox silly edit. All the best!

Hello, while "no consensus" was an understandable closure for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cheek to Cheek (album), one thing I should note is how WP:LOSE (i.e. "We'll lose the info") is not regarded as a convincing argument in deletion discussions per WP:ATA.

Hi. Your linking of ethnic cuisine in this context doesn't make any sense. It refers to a historical period of cuisine in Hawaii classified by food historians, that took place from around 1850-1930.

An editor is continually reverting me, and reverting as well the prior long-established formats of articles that are "|2". Insisting that a "|2" format is strictly verboten. And only em columns are allowed.
Thoughts? Thanks. -- Epeefleche ( talk) 07:19, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Northamerica1000
If I drastically shorten the article is there any hope of it being allowed? I note that WGBC, USGBC, UKGBC and other councils are published - so its logical we should be there too.
Am ready to change style accordingly although from USGBC the start reads very commercially - thats what I was basing my style on.

now corrected. Needs use of sources to flesh out production and critical response. Have a nice night.

Hello North, I just saw this new list article you created. I am thinking perhaps you did not already know that we have had (for quite a few years) a rather nice navigational template which contains a well-organized list of edible mollusks? Your list is in alphabetical order, which might seem like a good idea, but nearly all the species are known by a common name as well as a scientific name, therefore listing them alphabetically without separating clams from snails etc is probably not very useful to a reader. Also your list has only one reference, and that ref only covers abalone. And it contains no freshwater or land species. Anyway, tell me what you think once you have looked at the template. Invertzoo ( talk) 13:26, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
Another point that more than one malacologist author has made in the past is that almost all mollusks are edible, it's just a question of which ones are considered to be the most palatable (and easiest to harvest) in any given part of the world. Invertzoo ( talk) 13:29, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

![]() | On 9 May 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bludwine, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that in its earlier years, the soft drink Bludwine was marketed as having health benefits, such as aiding in digestion, and some physicians in Georgia prescribed it to their patients? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bludwine. 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. |

Just a quick note about sharenting. The two sources that you added are already in the article – the Gulf News article is syndicated from The Guardian, and the ABC2 story is the regional, syndicated version of the national ABC article. If you look closely, they have the same bylines and content, even though the titles are different. It's obviously a devious plot to get us to include them in our articles.

Hello North, thanks for your closure on this. But I disagree that it is a no consensus. The nomination itself is an implied delete !vote (assuming the closer agrees that it is policy-based), so in the absence of keep !votes, the outcome should have been a soft delete performed by an admin. Had there been a single valid !keep vote, your closure would have been appropriate. § FreeRangeFrog croak 16:45, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi North, I have seen your work on Wikipedia and your copy-editing skills are spot on and very accurate. I would like to ask you if you could make edits to the page of Expedia ( /info/en/?search=Expedia), as there is some information missing from the page. Would you be willing to make edits to the page so that it's complete? The main areas that I think needs more information are the infobox on the top right, and external links.
To be specific, I think the infobox at top right needs more information, and fields more in line with other global travel brands like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TripAdvisor, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivago or and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodafone_Hutchison_Australia. The infobox also needs to change URLs to be within 'website' (at the bottom) rather than 'Web address' (at the top), and it needs to include links to Expedia ccTLD: US, CA, UK, AU & NZ (in that order) in the same shape as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivago In regards to external Links, I think it should link to Expedia ccTLD in the same shape as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TripAdvisor with the same links as on #3.
Let me know, I would highly appreciate your assistance in this matter.
Erexkiss ( talk) 12:52, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for this North. Regarding other country-specific web addresses, I am reluctant to edit the page as I'm not a seasoned Wikipedia editor, therefore I fear that if I make edits I will compromise Expedia's page and my own account. Would you be willing to add 5 additional web addresses if I give them to you? Your help is much appreciated. Erexkiss ( talk) 09:47, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Your are more than helpful, I highly appreciate your time. the URLs are as follows: http://www.expedia.ca/ for Canada, http://www.expedia.com.au/ for Australia, http://www.expedia.co.nz/ for New Zealand, http://www.expedia.it/ for Italy, http://www.expedia.fr/ for France, and http://www.expedia.de/ for Germany. Many thanks North. Erexkiss ( talk) 10:37, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Many Thanks!

The Open faced sandwich article has been quite unnecessarily butchered by an editor. These facts are not controversial, but quite well know undisputed dishes. I think people should not not mass-remove every sentence that doesn’t have an inline citation, just add a citation if indeed is needed and somebody will find those sources. WP:PRESERVE. This is not a not controversial topic, and references can be found. Before removing ANYTHING - make sure that there indeed is no such reference for it YOU can find yourself. Otherwise it is just disruptive editing -> Wikipedia:Disruptive editing forcing other people to start working to find references, when the removed things have been just quite alright, and when they could use their time for better things than start hunting references for totally uncontroversial topics. This is forcing other people who want to build an encyclopaedia to go and work a lot and do the work this guy could do just as well. WP:PRESERVE is about preserve content. Right, we need references for the American stuff, I fix the Europeans. It is the same thing that happened to Breakfast... Hafspajen ( talk) 12:20, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Dear reviewer, I wanted to create an article in Wikipedia for 'the golden ratio ruler', without success. This instrument is used by ancient artists and architects. An actual copy (?) is in the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque, France, of which a photograph is in my website. I have analyzed selected artworks many of which are Wikipedia articles. I kindly ask you to visit my site and see what can be done about it. This forgotten instrument of art must receive its due respect. My regards. Ates Gulcugil atesgulcugil@hotmail.com

Hi. The actual golden ratio rule is in the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque. The Earl kinly sent me its photo. You can see it in my website: http://039a2b6.netsolhost.com/thegoldenrule.html How can I show a 'reliable' source when even they don't know what it is? However if the words written on it (coudee, empan, palme, paume) are entered in Googele similar carpenter's rules can be found and their owners have the knowledge that they are golden ratio rules. The golden rule is described in my website. What I have discovered is that it has been used for most art pieces, ancient and medieval and renaissance. These are in my web. Kind regards.

Hello Northamerica1000:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long
Backlog Elimination Drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unreviewed articles. The drive is running from June 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014.
Awards will be given out for all reviewers participating in the drive in the form of barnstars at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 2900 articles, so start reviewing articles! Visit the
drive's page and help out!
I've always seen closures such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frank A. DeMarco and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Great Blue Hill eruption prank to be outside the purview of non-admin closure since they involve some form of judgment that isn't plain housekeeping. (E.g., something like "no consensus" for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dr Zeus may be the right closure argument, would be inappropriate for a NAC because it's not due to a lack of discussion.) Just wanted to run that past you for consideration czar ♔ 13:32, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you for the talkback link to the deletion page discussion. I really don't even like Luther Vandross, but now I've been spending the morning adding sources to his article. Pet peeve: all those 'citation needed' tags after every statement; even though the article has a large issue tag at the top for more references. All that to say; although I am rather allergic to lists themselves; I will reconsider my merge vote and change to go to your article of list of tours. It is less likely to be deleted than all those pithy articles for each tour. Only one of those articles even has a talk page and it just has a sandbox silly edit. All the best!

Hello, while "no consensus" was an understandable closure for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cheek to Cheek (album), one thing I should note is how WP:LOSE (i.e. "We'll lose the info") is not regarded as a convincing argument in deletion discussions per WP:ATA. There were other points raised, though, so I understand the closure rationale. XXSNUGGUMSXX ( talk) 11:00, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Your linking of ethnic cuisine in this context doesn't make any sense. It refers to a historical period of cuisine in Hawaii classified by food historians, that took place from around 1850-1930. The "notable topic for which an article can be created" refers to that historical period, not to any one "ethnic cuisine". It would be helpful at the bare minimum, if you could follow WP:OVERLINK and WP:REDLINK. Viriditas ( talk) 09:43, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
