Request on 13:47:03, 6 July 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by YNovakovic

• YNovakovic (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Afripedia (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi Bearcat,

Thanks so much for looking into the draft article I've submitted; Afripedia.

You have rejected the draft article and suggested I merge it with an already existing article: Afripedia Project. However, the subject of the article Afripedia I submitted and the already existing article Afripedia Project are not the same.

The already existing article Afripedia Project is an initiative organised by Wikimédia France, Institut Français, and the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie and "aims to expand offline Wikipedia access in French-speaking Africa, and encourage Africans to contribute to Wikipedia".

The Afripedia article I have suggested is a completely other initiative, a documentary series, as well as a platform that aims to bridge the gap of employment of diverse talents in creative industries across the globe. It is also run by different people and it is an active project, 2010-now, unlike the Afripedia Project.

Please see this discussion page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Afripedia_Project

To clarify this ambiguousness, I have inserted the form indicating that the page should not be confused with Afripedia project.

I have resubmitted the article, please see if that solves the issue raised.

Many thanks,

User YNovakovic

A goat for you!

Thank you for your detailed AfD nominations. As opposed to just citing a guideline, you expand on your reasoning. Thanks for your work; in observance of this I (we) present you with this goat. If you don't like them we can find another.

I was about to write the article on the same day. Suddenly a relative was tested +ve for Covid-19 and I had to do appropriate arrangement for isolation. Today I saw that you have deleted the article and I lost the links that I saved there. I do not understand why it cannot wait at least for one week during these difficult times.--UKSharma3 (User | talk | Contribs) 02:19, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Born a Lion

The article Born a Lion has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

poorly referenced for years

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.

Help moving from Sandbox to Live

I hope you can help me as I see you edited the page I created for Denise Hunter. I've tried adding the subst:submit command (removed brackets here so as not to trigger anything) but that doesn't seem to have worked?

Hi, I edited your post on my talk page with my response. Are you notified when I do that? Thx! Writerspace (talk) 18:14, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi again. I've edited my article to include citations and remove some of the "peacocky" language :) I hate to impose on you again, but could I ask you to take a look before I resubmit it? Writerspace (talk) 19:31, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Still not sure if I'm supposed to let you know here when I've responded on my Talk page, but I've responded :) Let me know if the follow up notes here are unnecessary. I do appreciate your taking the time to educate me on this. It's definitely has its own rules! (Though I absolutely appreciate Wikipedia's insistence on accuracy).

LGBT academic vs. LGBT scientist: subcategories

Hi Bearcat: First off, I've been a fan of your work for years! Question: I notice in your editing of the biography of Richard Summerbell that you deleted the previously tagged Category: LGBT scientist in favour of the previously tagged Category: LGBT academic, stating that one is a subcategory of the other. But Category: LGBT scientist doesn't appear to be a subcategory of LGBT: academic. Is this a work in progress? If so, it should be the other way around (scientist as a subcat of academic). If not a work in progress, this appears to be a mistake. Ross Fraser (talk) 03:09, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your clarification on my talk page. :) Best regards Ross Fraser (talk) 16:32, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

ANI

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. 216.154.39.94 (talk) 00:58, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Telling an editor to "f**k all the way off"[1] is a clear violation of Wikipedia:Civility. Could you please retract your comment and apologise to the other editor? 216.154.39.94 (talk) 00:57, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Since when has Wikipedia ever had a "nobody is allowed to ever use a swear word" rule? There certainly hasn't ever been one in the 15+ years I've been here. You're clearly just wikistalking me to look for any pretext you can find to try to get me into hot water, for some other reason you're not being honest about. Bearcat (talk) 01:50, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

@Euryalus: - You asked me to contact the editor directly and raise my concerns. You can read their response above. 216.154.39.94 (talk) 02:21, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. I support the outcome of the ANI thread. In passing I don't believe your claim to be an occasional editor who stumbled across an edit summary on a random page history and then accidentally skipped over all the civility policy recommendations to go straight to ANI. Civility is important but the disingenuousness about your edit history doesn't help resolve the matter. -- Euryalus (talk) 04:27, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Category:Television shows filmed in Vancouver for merging

Hi Bearcat, there is a duplicate category entitled Category:Television shows filmed in Vancouver which is a duplicated category from Category:Television series produced in Vancouver. The Category:Television series produced in Vancouver has 339 article and the other category Category:Television shows filmed in Vancouver only has 73 articles. Category:Television shows filmed in Vancouver is going to merge into the existing category Category:Television series produced in Vancouver will be kept to follow the Canadian city produced categories Television series produced in (insert Canadian city). If you want to participate in the discussion here is the link Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2021_August_23#Category:Television_shows_filmed_in_Vancouver. I will look forward on your participation on the confused duplicate category discussion. See you at the CFD. Steam5 (talk) 02:34, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Deputy Prime Minister of Canada

Hey @Bearcat! I hope that this isn't an imposition, but I noticed that you reverted the section on succession in the article Deputy Prime Minister of Canada back to how it was a couple of weeks ago. I completely understand why you'd want to get rid of the table (I added it to be similar to the United States presidential line of succession, but I was unsure about how big it was), but the section as it is now is almost totally unsourced and doesn't mention Acting Ministers Minutes at all, which I think are pretty key to understanding succession in to the Prime Ministership. Would you mind if I were to add (back) some information about Acting Ministers Minutes and perhaps fact-check the rest of the section? Thanks! FollowTheTortoise (talk) 11:22, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
