Hello I was curious if I could get some input on ways to ensure my article is wikipedia ready before I try to summit it again, I'm obviously not intending to do anything malice in the process of writing it, Im a journalism student and this is a final project for me, I choose a local band that has had a significant amount of press as well as good music. I've done some editing to the article you previous saw, remove direct quotes that I obtained in an interview, as well as removed sources that were less creditable than others. Shorten it a bit.. Any suggestions? --BRose91 21:43, 19 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion declined: Blow off

edit

Hello IShadowed. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Blow off, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Redirect to Wiktionary. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:24, 20 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Er... okay. Didn't know these were allowed, certainly never read anything about them on the CSD guidelines or the like. Fair enough. --IShadowed 07:25, 20 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion

edit

For your information, I have > 1000 edits. I don't need to read how to write my first article. What you need to do is read the edit summary of my new article Op47 (talk) 17:26, 20 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Excuse me, but edit count can mean very little indeed. I'm very sorry that you feel frustrated, but please avoid making personal attacks. Sometimes all of us need to review how to create and maintain articles, it's just a part of being a good editor--and there's no shame in that, either. I nominated the article under A10, copy of already existing article, because it is. The list already exists in the shows' main article. If you would like to change that, please remove the list from that article, add a {{main}} tag to the section in question, and proceed with your page creation. These steps will help avoid confusion between you and new page patrollers. --IShadowed 17:30, 20 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
Hello IShadowed.

Regarding The Fergies

edit

Hi! First, thanks for taking a look at the article The Fergies. I did some extra verification and research, and I really don't think there are any issues regarding the band's notability or the references' verifiability (lots of possessiveness there :D). Please feel free to refer to the article's talk page if you'd like more details about why I don't think there are such issues. I have removed the "multiple issues" tag for now. Eagerly waiting to hear what you think. Thanks again for helping a semi-newbie like me! Abody97 (talk) 18:57, 20 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Removing the notability tag is fine, as they've been featured on numerous notable talk shows and such. However, I am a little concerned about the use of YouTube as a reference. This is much more appropriate in the External Links section (I see you've also linked it there). --IShadowed 19:50, 20 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
Oh, well I guess that might be a bit "out-of-place", that's a good point. What do you suggest as an alternative referencing of the YouTube view count? Thanks again :) Abody97 (talk) 20:48, 20 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
I don't particularly think there's a need to list the YouTube view count unless it's particularly necessary or significant to the article. I say this as view counts can change--fast--and aren't really an indication of notability anyway. --IShadowed 20:53, 20 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
I won't remove it for now, if that's okay with you :) Abody97 (talk) 21:09, 20 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

This was not vandalism. A google search would've shown you that. Please retract your comments on the user's talk page.--v/r - TP 23:15, 20 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

I did do a google search, but I don't really consider Urban Dictionary to be a reliable source. The only other option is incidental news coverage of a silly little definition... I thought we had Wiktionary for a reason. --IShadowed 00:05, 21 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
I've actually seen quite a lot of coverage of this. Besides, still doesn't constitute vandalism.--v/r - TP 01:32, 21 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
A lot of what's on Urban Dictionary can be construed as vandalism. Easily. That being said, I did strike the message left on the user's talk page. --IShadowed 01:36, 21 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
I came across this stub and its history. My first thought was to send it AfD, but I read the sources and found that it didn't accurately describe what they said, so I rewrote it. However, I have been unable to find the scientific sources backing up the online sources. I searched Pubmed and Google Scholar, finding nothing. I wouldn't be surprised if there is no scientific basis for choreplay.--I am One of Many (talk) 07:35, 23 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hey there! Please don't be discouraged, we really appreciate your edits. Unfortunately, I have to tag your article for deletion under A10, duplicate of already existing article, as James Holmes is only notable for a crime on which we already have a page discussing the incident and the individual in question.

ad homs have no relevance to actual points made...please refrain

edit

The only reason you did that was because you're on the other side of the issue. You want it merged, hence you'll ignore the actual points I made, but snoop on my page, to look for things to use (supposedly in your mind) against me. That have nothing to do with the other article or the points made. I did not violate 3RR, by the way. What you did was extremely weasel-ish and disrespectful. And a logical fallacy. Even if you were right about what went on in my talk page, which you weren't anyway. (You think the other editor was not "emotional" or "biased" in his views? You'll see it how you want to see it because you're not on my side of this other issue. Which is childish and unprofessional.) It doesn't matter though, because that's totally irrelevant to the subject, and a non sequitar. If you agreed with me on the issue, you'd not have snooped and trolled on my page, to try to ad hom, and ignore the specific points made about an unrelated matter. Yet you chose to put a link to my talk page as a response to my points about "if the perp gets an article so should the victims" emotional argument. Evading it altogether, and just trying to disrespect me, as if that somehow makes your point. Do it again, I only remove it again. Because you're in WP violation, and in fact "pushing" things. I never disrespected you, yet you disrespected me, and ad hommed, out of spite. Simply because you did not like my section. Not cool, and not necessary. So please refrain. Thank you. Jots and graphs (talk) 13:13, 24 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

I already explained why I added the diffs to the talk page--your own comments at your talk page refute your points on the merge proposal. They're entirely relevant. Also, edit summaries like this only further demonstrate your lack of understanding for civil discussion. Have fun "reporting" me for raising concerns with your statements.

Veikko Muronen

edit

Hi. Would you specify which ones of the sources used in article Veikko Muronen are not reliable and/or secondary? --Gwafton (talk) 23:01, 24 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hey there, the only tag I added to your article was {{notability}}. This just concerns over whether or not the individual in question passes WP:GNG, so more references may be required to substantiate claims within the article (sources from national or international press, as local coverage usually does not suffice). IShadowed (talk) 23:17, 24 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
Ok, thank you. Muronen was the head designer at a low-volume heavy vehicle producer in Finland. His inventions and design work are known locally. I don't know if it is enough for notability (apart from Finland). --Gwafton (talk) 00:17, 25 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

What did he do???

edit

Hi IShadowed, just looking for clarification. New User:Ebdavids who has just got his first article up with a little help from me seems to have made a mistake with his second effort. He got a CSD warning from you after trying to "send" the article to me for review. It seems to me that he may have accidentally created an article in main space, or perhaps in my Userspace, with the title Sandbox? Is that right? (If it is I wouldn't be surprised if it happens a lot). I would just like to know, as this section heading says, "What did he do???" - So that I can explain to him, or you could tell him yourself. Regards, David_FLXD (Talk) Review me 03:09, 26 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

The article was named "Wikipedia Sandbox" and included only the name of some person, so I tagged for deletion as a test page. Thanks! IShadowed (talk) 07:11, 26 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
Thank you! I'll explain to him. David_FLXD (Talk) Review me 10:30, 26 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I was told you were the one to talk to regarding users who are PR people getting paid to edit.

I believe Barte (talk) to be a PR that gets paid to rewrite pages according to his clients' wishes. I ran into him when I noticed he almost completely rewrote Shiva Ayyadurai's wiki a little over a month ago, and instead of being a broad overview the page was fairly vitriolic and focused entirely on the email controversy.

So, I looked up his user account and he referenced a paper he had written. He works for a PR firm in California, and his contributions seem to go in waves of creating/rewriting entire pages which tend to end up in glowing terms or, as in Shiva's case, with a strong negative slant.

Let me know if you need more info or if there's another official channel I should go through! I'm fairly new to wikipedia and mostly just do edits about law... Arttechlaw (talkcontribs) 10:43, 31 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Not quite sure who told you I would be the person to talk to (I'm not -- as I'm not an admin, I'm not equipped with the necessary tools to deal with this sort of situation). You may want to file at the conflict of interest noticeboard, though, where those who are equipped to handle these cases can help you. IShadowed (talk) 19:25, 31 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
Hi iShadowed & Arttechlaw. I rewrote Shiva Ayyadurai's article of my own initiative, consulting with on one, paid by no one, because what was there constituted original research. As I mentioned on the talk page, I did my best to cover both sides of the controversy and put in many references to notable source, and removed nothing from any other section. If Arttechlaw believes the article is now too lopsided, he/she can do the same. But if you don't believe me, do report it: I stand by the work and the lack of COI. Barte (talk) 21:15, 31 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
K, thanks Shadow! I'll look up the other noticeboard. Arttechlaw (talk) 22:07, 31 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

I know that IRC may have a different view on personal attacks, but don't call me a dick on Wikipedia, even in an edit summary. That's a personal attack, in case you didn't know. ❤ Yutsi Talk/ Contributions ( 偉特 ) 18:27, 6 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

While provocation doesn't excuse behavior, and "dick" was not the kindest word Ishadowed could have used there, might I suggest that it's a bit of an overreach for you to chastise someone for removing your rather significant and wide-reaching personal attack, no matter what words they used to do it? Now would probably be a good time for you to apologise for that screed, rather than be annoyed that she removed it with an edit summary that didn't feature fluffy happy bunnies.

WikiCup 2013 February newsletter

edit

Round 1 is now over. The top 64 scorers have progressed to round 2, where they have been randomly split into eight pools of eight. At the end of April, the top two from each pool, as well as the 16 highest scorers from those remaining, will progress to round 3. Commiserations to those eliminated; if you're interested in still being involved in the WikiCup, able and willing reviewers will always be needed, and if you're interested in getting involved with other collaborative projects, take a look at the WikiWomen's Month discussed below.

Round 1 saw 21 competitors with over 100 points, which is fantastic; that suggests that this year's competition is going to be highly competative. Our lower scores indicate this, too: A score of 19 was required to reach round 2, which was significantly higher than the 11 points required in 2012 and 8 points required in 2011. The score needed to reach round 3 will be higher, and may depend on pool groupings. In 2011, 41 points secured a round 3 place, while in 2012, 65 was needed. Our top three scorers in round 1 were:

  1.   Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), primarily for an array of warship GAs.
  2.   Miyagawa (submissions), primarily for an array of did you knows and good articles, some of which were awarded bonus points.
  3.   Casliber (submissions), due in no small part to Canis Minor, a featured article awarded a total of 340 points. A joint submission with   Keilana (submissions), this is the highest scoring single article yet submitted in this year's competition.

Other contributors of note include:

Featured topics have still played no part in this year's competition, but once again, a curious contribution has been offered by   The C of E (submissions): did you know that there is a Shit Brook in Shropshire? With April Fools' Day during the next round, there will probably be a good chance of more unusual articles...

March sees the WikiWomen's History Month, a series of collaborative efforts to aid the women's history WikiProject to coincide with Women's History Month and International Women's Day. A number of WikiCup participants have already started to take part. The project has a to-do list of articles needing work on the topic of women's history. Those interested in helping out with the project can find articles in need of attention there, or, alternatively, add articles to the list. Those interested in collaborating on articles on women's history are also welcome to use the WikiCup talk page to find others willing to lend a helping hand. Another collaboration currently running is an an effort from WikiCup participants to coordinate a number of Easter-themed did you know articles. Contributions are welcome!

A few final administrative issues. From now on, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

A tag has been placed on Popular Culture in the Middle East and North Africa A Postcolonial Outlook, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "Click here to 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 removed without delay.

February 2014: Kyle Korver

edit

I noticed that you and Cluebot NG may have gotten caught in an edit conflict at Kyle Korver. When the bot reverted edits by IP 76.238.234.12.[1] you followed with an edit in the same minute and probably inadvertently reverted back to the vandalized version of the page.[2]. So I have reverted the mixup to lead to the current revision of the page. Just thought I should drop you a note. Vycl1994 (talk) 07:25, 18 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Please fill out your JSTOR email

edit

As one of the original 100 JSTOR account recipients, please fill out the very short email form you received just recently in order to renew your access. Even though you signed up before with WMF, we need you to sign up again with The Wikipedia Library for privacy reasons and because your prior access expired on July 15th. We do not have your email addresses now; we just used the Special:EmailUser feature, so if you didn't receive an email just contact me directly at jorlowitz gmail.com. Thanks, and we're working as quickly as possible to get you your new access! Jake (Ocaasi) 19:48, 23 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

New deal for page patrollers

edit

Hi IShadowed,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
