How to close an AfD

edit

Hi,

I saw your latest comments on the AfDs for the Apple and iOS outlines. Thank you.

By the way, to withdraw a nomination for deletion (AfD) that you have made, add an entry to the end of the voting section, like this:

  • I withdraw my nomination - (explanation/further comments optional). Signature

Then contact an admin who closes AfDs (look at the edit history for a recently closed AfD for who closed it), and he or she will probably be happy to close the AfD. It must be someone who has not participated in the discussion being closed. The Transhumanist 18:13, 16 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Origins of outlines and their exposure

edit

Over at AfD, you wrote:

I'd never heard of these "outlines" either, so they need some decent exposure including info on how they came into being on WP.

If you have any ideas on how to improve their exposure, I am very interested.
Outlines have good exposure in their respective subjects, because there are links to the relevant outlines from there. Editors who stick with a specific subject generally don't learn about outlines until one is created for their subject of interest. The current exposure of outlines is:
  1. A link to the outlines page is presented on the contents page which in turn has a link in the sidebar menu displayed on every page of Wikipedia. I tried to get the various content pages directly on the menu, but the community consensus was that one link to all of them was enough. Maybe someday.
  2. A link to the main outline page is included in the navbar menu that appears at the top of the main page for each of the navigation subsystems of Wikipedia (displayed above).
  3. There is a section for outline announcements on the Community Bulletin Board on Wikipedia's Community Portal, our main community page.
  4. Once an outline is created, a link to it is placed in the See also section of the corresponding article, on the corresponding navigation footer, etc.
  5. Outlines are generally categorized at the top of the corresponding category, at the front of the list.
Where did outlines come from? Well we've always had general topics lists on Wikipedia, some were alphabetical and some were structured. But because they competed for the same names, the alphabetical ones were renamed to "Index of", and the structured ones were renamed to "Outline of".
It was the "Lists of basic topics" WikiProject that took the initiative to clean up that mess. They ran into the odd problem that the basic lists they were developing continued to grow – editors simply wouldn't stop editing them! Wikipedia isn't set up to be static, and so the "basic" lists started to become more comprehensive than the corresponding "Lists of topics". It was as embarrassing as it was awkward. So, first they renamed them to topical outlines, but that reminded too many people of fruit toppings and skin cream, so they finally renamed them to "Outline of". While they were at it, they renamed most of the other topics lists as well (either to outlines or indexes).
The first general topics lists were created in 2001. We didn't have the category system back then and lists were the main type of navigation page. The basic topics lists (there were about 50 of them) were initially created back then too, by Larry Sanger (a co-founder of Wikipedia), as wish lists of red links from which to build new articles in major subject areas. The links quickly turned blue and the lists were forgotten. In 2005 they were rediscovered and moved to article space as Lists of basic topics. A WikiProject was formed and a standard format was developed for them. In 2008 they were renamed to "Topical outline of" and in 2009 to "Outline of", with slight modification to their standard format. Around the same time, the alphabetical topics lists were renamed to "Index of".
There are currently about 520 "Index of" pages and over 540 "Outline of" articles.
I hope this helps clarifies things for you. If you come up with any exposure ideas, please let me know. Thank you. The Transhumanist 00:01, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Retina Display, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page PPI (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Notice of Dispute resolution discussion

edit
 

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute in which you may have been involved. Content disputes can hold up article development, therefore we are requesting your participation to help find a resolution. The thread is "Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Leveson Inquiry".

Guide for participants

If you wish to open a DR/N filing, click the "Request dispute resolution" button below this guide or go to Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/request for an easy to follow, step by step request form.

What this noticeboard is:
  • It is an early step to resolve content disputes after talk page discussions have stalled. If it's something we can't help you with, or is too complex to resolve here, our volunteers will point you in the right direction.
What this noticeboard is not:
  • It is not a place to deal with the behavior of other editors. We deal with disputes about article content, not disputes about user conduct.
  • It is not a place to discuss disputes that are already under discussion at other dispute resolution forums.
  • It is not a substitute for the talk pages: the dispute must have been discussed extensively on a talk page (not just through edit summaries) before resorting to DRN.
  • It is not a court with judges or arbitrators that issue binding decisions: we focus on resolving disputes through consensus, compromise, and explanation of policy.
Things to remember:
  • Discussions should be civil, calm, concise, neutral, and objective. Comment only about the article's content, not the other editors. Participants who go off-topic or become uncivil may be asked to leave the discussion.
  • Let the other editors know about the discussion by posting {{subst:drn-notice}} on their user talk page.
  • Sign and date your posts with four tildes "~~~~".
  • If you ever need any help, ask one of our volunteers, who will help you as best as they can. You may also wish to read through the FAQ page located here and on the DR/N talkpage.

Please take a moment to review the simple guide and join the discussion. Thank you! EarwigBot operator / talk 22:05, 14 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Restless Soul (record producer)

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Restless Soul (record producer) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Epeefleche (talk) 03:30, 26 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Moved to userspace

edit

I've moved the article to your userspace at User:Jimthing/Restless Soul (artist/label) so you can work on it at your leisure. The big thing to remember is that you'll have to show notability per WP:ORG by way of reliable sources, but at least with it in the userspace you'll have plenty of time and won't have to worry about it being deleted before you're finished.

Hi. I could swear I copied and pasted your entire proposal ad-hoc. Sorry if the comment was somehow left out.

Proposed deletion of Accton Technology Corporation

edit
 

The article Accton Technology Corporation has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:TNT at best as my searches at News, Books, browsers and Highbeam mostly found business listings, trivial coverage and press releases, hardly much to suggest better notability and improvement. It's also worth noting the Chinese Wikipedia article (创建“智邦科技) was also deleted in 2007 as G11 and the current German Wiki article looks almost the same as this one, only primary links and no other signs of better improvement.

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

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

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

"BBC Productions"

   It appears that in 2008 you believed that such a company was the production company for Criminal Justice (TV series). Is it possible (since i find no existence of an organization with that exact title) that you have some insight into whether it might actually have been BBC/World Productions or BBC World Productions, making that firm or its successor an appropriate link in both the old one and our related article The Night Of?

  Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Diff: [4]

I flagged the article because you failed to properly establish notability. With 7700 edits under your belt and numerous articles created, I'm totally baffled at how our notability guidelines for corporations or our general notability guideline have not been met here. I mean seriously, we've got Quora being used as a reference twice in the article. Quora. Was there nothing available at Yahoo! Answers? Your assertion that the company is notable is not the same thing as properly establishing notability per Wikipedia standards, i.e. with significant coverage from reliable published sources that are independent from the subject. A Quora write-up and an Alexa rank doesn't cut it. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:08, 25 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

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