Hello editor, sorry to bother you with this, but there was an editor who marked this article for deletion claiming that I was paid to write, and I do not even know who the person is, I took everything from reference sources as you can see, as you were the reviewer of this article I humbly ask that we can reach a conclusion in the discussion opened by me, thank you already. Soberano Sauron ( talk) 19:44, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I'm Netherzone. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, To the Moon World Tour, and have marked it as unreviewed. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you.

Hello Bruxton, I wanted to reach out personally to let you know why I unreviewed the article and why. I'm a new reviewer so I may have made a mistake, however I'm an experienced editor - here for over 10 years. The article seems like unambiguous advertizing and promotion to me. The tour has not taken place yet, and two of the sources were not really sources, they were ticket sales sites, "buy your pass here!" and "by your tickets here!" (I've removed these.) The third source seems to be a press release on Yahoo news. It was created by an editor who only creates these types of articles. My hunch is that they may be UPE/COI, however they may just be a music fan excited about these tours they write about. Either way, I'm not so sure that WP should be promoting concert tours that have not occured yet. Please let me know what your thoughts are on the matter.

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Netherzone ( talk) 20:04, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

@ Netherzone: I don't know. When Rolling Stone is covering it - we probably can consider it notable. I always look further than the article to determine if it is notable. Bruxton ( talk) 21:03, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

@ Netherzone: As to your concern about forward looking articles, we do the same for sports seasons. Just type 2023 in the search box and see it populate. We also do the same for astrological topics sometimes 100s of years from now. I think with the Rolling Stone we can verify per the guideline WP:FUTUREEVENT. I will tag as reviewed because I think we meet the criteria set out in WP:FUTUREEVENT and you already weeded out the problematic references. Thanks for the kind message here. Bruxton ( talk) 00:49, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Rolling Stone is a good reference. Thanks for finding that, Bruxton, and nice to meet you here. Netherzone ( talk) 01:23, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Great expansion. I was wondering how newspaperarchive compares to newspapers.com. I just found out that I can access newspaperarchive through the Wikipedia Library. SL93 ( talk) 15:13, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, interesting article. You could probably write one on the Prietos as well.

Newspaper archive seems to get more. I still want a photo in there and I believe we could use the 1963s. We should ask Gruban Bruxton ( talk) 15:15, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

GRuban Are the 1963 images at Talk:Fischer quintuplets#Some news about the Fischer quintuplets articles able to be used as free use images? SL93 ( talk) 15:27, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Hah! I was just looking for images for those, only to find out my Newspapers.com subscription had expired. Trying to get it renewed now. But I seem to be able to see these clippings links, can dig a little just from these... -- GRuban ( talk) 16:08, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

@ GRuban: cool, are we able to use the ap ones which are very clear? 1963 just need to see if a copy was renewed right? Bruxton ( talk) 16:10, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Yes. Unfortunately it's hard to prove a negative, you need to search in https://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi for likely terms. If you find a hit, you can absolutely prove that it has been renewed, but if you don't, maybe you just didn't guess what words you needed to search for? So it has to be a "best effort" basis. "Fischer quintuplets" gets a few hits that are clearly not these photos, even "quintuplets" and "quints" get a reasonable of hits that can be sorted by date and looked through one by one (they're mostly oil paintings!), "Fischer" gets way too many hits to search through... give it your best shot, then mark it https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:PD-US-not_renewed. -- GRuban ( talk) 17:10, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Hey there, I've been trying to fix something in the article you started but I edit conflicted with you. So maybe you can handle it. The designer's name isn't Yosheni. (That would be a super unusual Japanese personal name, and so unlikely that it is obviously an error.) His name was Yoshimi Kanemoto. If you want to cite that to a reliable source, check out Popular Science, "Automotive Newsfront: U-drive-it luggage", October 1992, Volume 241, Number 4, on pages 38-39, which you can find starting here, with the name specified on p. 39.

The file File:Richard Lorenz (artist).jpeg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is some sort of enhanced/colored image that may not be representative of the subject. The original image is of much poorer quality. (Lorenz's identity is supported by the Encyclopedia of Milwaukee.)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

A tag has been placed on Diagalon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi - rather unexpected to come across your talk page during an SPI case I was looking at, after conversing with you so much over the last couple of days :). I'm just letting you know that the two accounts who posted here recently, whose comments were removed, belong to the same LTA - I don't know why they're taking an interest in you, and I hope they leave you alone now that they've been noticed, but if any other new accounts appear and start leaving you unexpected messages, feel free to drop me a note. Cheers Girth Summit _(blether) 17:22, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

@ Girth Summit: Grrr. Thanks for the message, it seemed the first one just wanted help. I hope I have not angered anyone. Lately I am on NPP and I have had to make decisions that not everyone agrees with. Deletions and drafts and such. My content creation has slowed down now as a result. Bruxton ( talk) 17:48, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

I don't think you've angered anyone. One of the habits this person has is to find someone who they think will help them, and try to get them on-side in whatever it is they're doing - you probably just presented as being helpful, not a bad thing by any stretch.

I used to do a lot of NPP - I got into doing that before I ever started writing articles. I find that I don't have much time for it now though - whenever I manage to drag myself away from SPI, I want to write my own stuff, not review other people's! My next project is to take Battle of Preston (1648) to FA, in the company of Gog the Mild - I just need to get a few drafts off my plate and block out some time to do it. Do you do GA reviews? We normally take an article to GAN before FAC, and you've just given me the most rigorous DYK review I think I've ever had :) - you might be the perfect person to find any issues with our prose/sourcing, if you're interested I could drop you a note when we're ready. Girth Summit _(blether) 17:57, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

@ Girth Summit: I have a few GAs but have not reviewed any yet so I may want to do it. My own GAs were extremely detailed and several took weeks. If I do it, I may pick a shorter one to start. I have never had a FA. Bruxton ( talk) 18:05, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

This one is unlikely to be short, so I understand if you want to start out your GA reviewing journey elsewhere. On the other hand, Gog has written fifty-odd FAs, he knows his way around the MOS and he tends to keep me honest when we write together, so there hopefully shouldn't be too much to object with when we're done. Your call - let me know if you'd like me to tell you when we nominate it, or not, no pressure at all. Girth Summit _(blether) 18:10, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

You're expecting me to write prose that will stand up to rigorous review?! Oh come on! Gog the Mild ( talk) 18:16, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Now then Gog - it can't all be the old boys club over at FAC, we need some fresh blood in the article reviewing corps. Take a look at Earlstoun Castle's DYK nom - I was taken to task, but we made it through. Girth Summit _(blether) 18:38, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Wah, ha, ha. Well, yes, but what with your habit of scattering commas randomly throughout an article and similar it is no less than I would expect. Er, I am going to get reviewed to that standard? Gulp! Gog the Mild ( talk) 18:40, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/July 2022 North American heat wave you said 2020–2022 North American drought is similar and did not want to redirect and let the community decide to let you know I am still under discussion if I should make this the current Northwest Pacific heat wave or about the Southwestern United States heat wave.

	Figured you deserved one of these. You've improved a lot in such a short period of time! Curbon7 ( talk) 14:43, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

@ Curbon7: Thanks so much! There is a steep learning curve but everyone has been so helpful. I absolutely love the star and the recognition! Bruxton ( talk) 14:45, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Bruxton,

I was just looking at an article that you tagged with a PROD tag that was just untagged by another editor. I'd like to recommend that unless there are serious problems with a main space article (copyright violations, BLP violations, advertising, attack page, etc.), you don't tag a page for deletion the same day that it has been created. Unless an editor is experienced and has created an article in their Sandbox or Draft space and is just moving it over to main space, no new article will be perfect on the day that it appears. They are all flawed until the page creator, and other editors, have some time to improve sourcing and work on the content. Luckily, a PROD will allow a week's time for an article to improve before deletion is considered and anyone can remove a PROD tag so it has the least serious repercussions compared to Speedy Deletion. But it can be demoralizing for new editors to take the time to learn about Wikipedia and its policies, find an article subject that is worth spending time on only to have the page tagged for deletion on the day it is published.

Part of the job of New Page Patrollers is to weed out inappropriate content so I know that deletion tagging is part of what you do on Wikipedia. I'd just like to suggest that you have a better sense of the difference between an imperfect article and those that are damaging to the project or just total promotional BS. Perhaps rather than tagging an inadequate new article for deletion, a better decision might be to move it Draft space where it can be improved. This can be a better solution to pages that you might tag for notability concerns (CSD A7). If you don't know about it, User:Evad37/MoveToDraft is a great tool if you think a recently created article would be safer in Draft space and you'd like to move it there, the script even posts a notification to the page creator which is so important.

Any way, thanks for all of the work you do and congratulations on the barnstar! You deserve it! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:57, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

@ Liz: Hi, thank you for the message. I think I only placed one prod today and one yesterday. What article are we talking about? I am always careful to make sure to research the topics before a prod. Unfortunately I do not recall placing a prod where one was removed. The only one I can see with two prods is Guy Barker (politician)... but I was the first, and I discussed on the talk page of the article, after me, another editor prodded it. I just sent that one to AfD right now after seeing the second prod was removed. Bruxton ( talk) 23:06, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

I made the references fixed for it. Here is what I did.

1. I fixed the link to the regular season, it shows that the teams had the byes.
2. I got rid of the word.
3. I fixed the link to the regular season again, it shows that the two teams didn't have a bye.
