We noticed though that when you edited Pedro Araújo, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Barcelos (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Speedy deletion nomination of Cadinha

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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Cadinha requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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. PamD 15:27, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

There's no apparent connection between the one-word title and the person in the infobox; no mention of this name or nickname in the existing article at Rúben Saldanha, the name in the infobox - this article as it stands just doesn't make any sense. PamD 15:32, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Modesto Acosta de la Rosa

Hello. Was wondering where in ref#1 it says he was promoted to Sevilla B in May 2013, and where in ref#3, which is just a teamsheet for the match, it says either that he made his debut or that the manager rested players ahead of the Europa League final. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:08, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Thank you --AL (talk) 15:43, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

@Always Learning: Those players are listed at the website here. RRD13 (talk) 15:45, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

That has to do with the fact they were called to the first team in the last weeks, they belong to SEVILLA B. I tried to help, happy week --AL (talk) 15:49, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

@Always Learning: How can you say, that a player who is been listed in the A squad mentioned in the official website belong to the B team?? RRD13 (talk) 15:51, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

My turn now, please see Sevilla B at the OFFICIAL website (http://www.sevillafc.es/nuevaweb/equipos/plantilla/3/sevilla-atletico). --AL (talk) 15:52, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

  • I also see you are reverting me, i will do the same and what will happen? We will both be blocked, do you think it's worth it man? --AL (talk) 15:54, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

We have to wait until they are DEFINITELY promoted to the first team, and clubs offer that news in their website when it happens. None of those four players (one is 17 years old!) have been offered full professional contracts yet. To make things easier for us, we have the SEVILLA ATLÉTICO template, why not make use of it? --AL (talk) 16:01, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

  • I apologize for saying "refs seem to be added for the sake of it", i know you are trying your best, but so am i, please trust me on this one i am 100% sure. I don't know if you ceased communication with me now because: 1 - you agree with my last paragraph; 2 - you are tired of me. I hope it's the first one.

Happy week --AL (talk) 16:54, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Cadinha

The article Cadinha has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of how the page title relates to the person written about.

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. PamD 07:31, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Sourcing of BLPs

Hello. I note you didn't answer my question above about the sourcing of Modesto Acosta de la Rosa. So I'll rephrase it. Please will you read Wikipedia's policies on verifiability and biographies of living persons. And then please will you do two things. One, stop, as of now, adding "sources" to biographical articles which you know perfectly well don't verify the content you place them after. And two, please don't add content to biographical articles without adding sources that do verify the content. You could perhaps start with Cadinha, where the only cited source verifies the words "in 2013, he returned to his boyhood club" and very little else.

Deb, you've been here a long time now, and have created a lot of content. I see that AL has now added sources to the Mode article; you should be grateful to him. What's particularly concerning is that you've done a lot of work at WP:GA; I note barnstars higher up this page. I hope that you took sourcing rather more seriously in your work at GA, and I really do encourage you to take it seriously in your own creations as well. You don't want it to become a competence issue. Thanks for listening, Struway2 (talk) 08:55, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, I'm Struway2. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living person on Tomas Maronesi, but that you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Struway2 (talk) 07:45, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Several points:
  1. . The external link to Soccerway is wrong, unless you've fixed it since I tagged it;
  2. . Soccerway doesn't give "full" names, it gives as much of the player's name as it has a reliable source for. This means we can't assume that the name given on Soccerway is the player's full name;
  3. . Items in the External links section are not sources. Football has an unwritten convention that infobox stats can be "sourced" in the external links section, although strictly speaking it shouldn't. But any other information, particularly personal information about living people, should be referenced to a reliable published source in the normal way.
Thank you for listening. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:20, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Although the page you link to at the HKFA site doesn't make it clear that the player's name actually is his full name, their policy is to use full names, as here, for instance, so that'd be OK as a source. But you need to put in inline, like any other reference, not just list it as one of a string of links in the External links section. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:52, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 June newsletter

After an extremely close race, Round 3 is over. 244 points secured a place in Round 4, which is comparable to previous years- 321 was required in 2013, while 243 points were needed in 2012. Pool C's Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions) was the round's highest scorer, mostly due to a 32 featured pictures, including both scans and photographs. Also from Pool C, Scotland Casliber (submissions) finished second overall, claiming three featured articles, including the high-importance Grus (constellation). Third place was Pool B's , whose contributions included featured articles Russian battleship Poltava (1894) and Russian battleship Peresvet. Pool C saw the highest number of participants advance, with six out of eight making it to the next round.

The round saw this year's first featured portal, with Republic of Rose Island Sven Manguard (submissions) taking Portal:Literature to featured status. The round also saw the first good topic points, thanks to Florida 12george1 (submissions) and the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. This means that all content types have been claimed this year. Other contributions of note this round include a featured topic on Maya Angelou's autobiographies from Idaho Figureskatingfan (submissions), a good article on the noted Czech footballer Tomáš Rosický from Bartošovice v Orlických horách Cloudz679 (submissions) and a now-featured video game screenshot, freely released due to the efforts of Republic of Rose Island Sven Manguard (submissions).

The judges would like to remind participants to update submission pages promptly. This means that content can be checked, and allows those following the competition (including those participating) to keep track of scores effectively. This round has seen discussion about various aspects of the WikiCup's rules and procedures. Those interested in the competition can be assured that formal discussions about how next year's competition will work will be opened shortly, and all are welcome to voice their views then. 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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

WikiProject Good articles Future GAN Backlog Drive

Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!

TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.

If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.

At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.

As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

@Sammanhumagain: Listen my dear boy, I can understand you are new to Wikipedia (on the courtesy you didnt sign your post). An article about a footballer is allowed as long as he has played in a fully pro league or made an appearance for his country in an official international match. Since the player has made none he is not notable. And this is not a use of the power reviewer, for your information :-) RRD13 (talk) 15:37, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

ISL/flags

If you think showing the nationality of all those players is relevant and important, then including flags is acceptable, but MOS:ICON#Accompany flags with country names says the country name should appear alongside the flag. Many editors would just use the country name without the flag (although many wouldn't). You may want to consider alternative ways of presenting each team's foreign players; that great sprawling table is a bit of a mess, and IMO doesn't help the reader access the information. You may also want to add sources: there are plenty in the prose, but none as yet in the table sections. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:38, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:

For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.

For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).

The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

WikiCup 2014 August newsletter

The final of the 2014 WikiCup begins in a few short minutes! Our eight finalists are listed below, along with their placement in Round 4:

  1. Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions), a WikiCup newcomer, finished top of Pool A and was the round's highest scorer. Godot is a featured picture specialist, claiming large numbers of points due to high-quality scans of historical documents, especially banknotes.
  2. Scotland Casliber (submissions) is a WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist every year since 2010. In the semi-final, he was Pool B's highest scorer. Cas's points primarily come from articles on the natural sciences.
  3. Nepal Czar (submissions) was Pool A's runner-up. Czar's points come mostly from content related to independent video games, including both articles and topics.
  4. Oh, better far to live and die / Under the brave black flag I fly... Adam Cuerden (submissions) was Pool B's runner-up. Another featured picture specialist, many of Adam's points come from the restoration of historical media. He has been a WikiCup finalist twice before.
  5. Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) won the WikiCup in 2012 and 2013, and enters this final as the first wildcard. She focuses on biology-related articles, and has worked on several high-importance articles.
  6. Florida 12george1 (submissions) is the second wildcard. George's points come primarily from meteorology-related articles. This year and last year, George was the first person in the competition to score.
  7. Colorado Sturmvogel 66 (submissions), the third wildcard, was the 2010 champion and a finalist last year. His writes mostly on military history, especially naval history.
  8. Canada Bloom6132 (submissions), the fourth and final wildcard, has participated in previous WikiCups, but not reached any finals. Bloom's points are mostly thanks to did you knows, featured lists and good articles related to sport and national symbols.

We say goodbye to this year's semi-finalists. Herm Matty.007 (submissions), Ohio ThaddeusB (submissions), United States WikiRedactor (submissions), Idaho Figureskatingfan (submissions), Greece Yellow Evan (submissions), Portugal Prism (submissions) and Bartošovice v Orlických horách Cloudz679 (submissions) have all performed well to reach this stage of the competition, and we hope they will all be joining us again next year.

There are two upcoming competitions unrelated to the WikiCup which may be of interest to those who receive this newsletter. The Stub Contest will run through September, and revolves around expanding stub articles, especially high-importance or old stubs. In addition, a proposal has been made for a new competition, the GA Cup, which the organisers plan to run next year. This competition is based on the WikiCup and aims to reduce the good article review backlog.

There is now a thread for brainstorming on how next year's WikiCup competition should work. Please come along and share your thoughts- What works? What doesn't work? What needs changing? Signups for next year's competition will be open soon; we will be in touch. If, at this stage of the competition, you are keen to help the with the WikiCup, please do what you can to participate in review processes. Our finalists will find things much easier if the backlogs at good article candidates, featured article candidates, featured picture candidates and the rest are kept at a minimum. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Biographies of living people

Hi, please can you make sure you add citations to your new articles about living people such as Hugo Meira and Bruno Wilson? You have been here long enough to surely know the importance of such citations and that biographies of living people, no matter how brief, must have at least one citation. I am popping this note up here before I finish reviewing them so that you are aware of the concerns and why I have tagged them the way I have. Mabalu (talk) 10:39, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
