Sports seasons and bulk deletions / nuisance nominations
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Demokra (talk) 12:40, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
- I want to state, for the record, that I disagree with a nuisance complaint against you. I know I can be passionate about certain subjects and I realize that we all have a POV based on our preferences but that doesn't mean we can't find common ground and it also doesn't mean opposing or differing opinions are a nuisance. --Tsistunagiska (talk) 17:26, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
- I'm glad it's all over now. Hopefully, we can all come together and improve the project. It'd be amazing if we all put the energy into improving articles and improving the encyclopaedia instead of taking swipes at each other (not speaking about you really, more some of the others). Like I say, at least it looks like things have settled now and we can all crack on. Spiderone 17:30, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
- Oh, come on, I have taken my fair share of swipes. It's ok to critique me. My bark is worse than my bite. Maybe I shouldn't have said that but kept that as an Ace in my pocket for future use. (LoL) I am learning and it's a process. It does not mean I am less passionate but I can appreciate opposing arguments when the one opposing explains their position rather than responding, short and terse, as if the discussion is unworthy of their time and other editors are beneath them so do not deserve clarification. I don't much like being talked to as if I am a belligerent two year old. That really gets under my skin, maybe too much. Regardless, I am learning to find my niche here. I love football but I am not an expert like my brothers who actually played in Italy. So we will probably have less run-ins like we have. I just wanted to let you know that you are appreciated, even by someone who hasn't always agreed with you. I do hope that, in future discussions you and I are involved in, whether we agree or not, we can infuse more civility when others get out of hand. --Tsistunagiska (talk) 18:45, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
- Happy to agree to that! Spiderone 19:20, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

AfD issue
Hi. I was wondering if you could do me a favor. I tried to do a second nomination for Jeugland Hoërskool, but for some reason it wouldn't post correctly in the AfD list. It just posted the old discussion and I couldn't figure out why. I think it has something to do with how I posted the article title in the deletion discussion, but I'm not really sure. Is there any way you could look at it and get it to post properly? If so I'd really appreciate it. Thanks. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:22, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Adamant1: - it seems the bot got there before me! On another note, why is Wikipedia littered with so many of these school stubs listed only to primary sources with no assertion of notability!? Spiderone 08:26, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
- Apparently it did. Although it seems to have screwed up one of the links, but it's better then nothing. I didn't even know bots could do that. I think there's a lot of primary school stubs because until an RfC about them recently the general consensus was that they were inherently notable. Even if they lacked references. Kind of like how geographic places just have to exist and athletes (until a few weeks ago it seems) had to just be in a pro league to be notable. It seems like Wikipedia is moving away from those standards though and for the better IMO. Except now there's a huge backlog and some people who think things should just be inherently notable who are trying to get in the way of them being dealt with. Which is kind of a ridiculous standard and way of doing things. That's my opinion about it anyway. I guess the admin that removed all my secondary school PRODs wrote an essay on his talk page about it a while back. Go figure. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:33, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Adamant1: for me, it's simple. If an article has no reliable sources and there is no potential for it to have reliable sources, then it should be deleted. End of story. Spiderone 09:35, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 November newsletter
The 2020 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round going down to the wire. Our new Champion is Lee Vilenski (submissions), the runner-up last year, who was closely followed by Gog the Mild (submissions). In the final round, Lee achieved 4 FAs and 30 GAs, mostly on cue sport topics, while Gog achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on important battles and wars, which earned him a high number of bonus points. The Rambling Man (submissions) was in third place with 4 FAs and 8 GAs on football topics, with Epicgenius (submissions) close behind with 19 GAs and 16 DYK's, his interest being the buildings of New York.
The other finalists were Hog Farm (submissions), HaEr48 (submissions), Harrias (submissions) and Bloom6132 (submissions). The final round was very productive, and besides 15 FAs, contestants achieved 75 FAC reviews, 88 GAs and 108 GAN reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!
All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.
- Gog the Mild (submissions) wins the featured article prize, for a total of 14 FAs during the course of the competition.
- Bloom6132 (submissions) win the featured list prize, for 5 FLs in round 4.
- Rhododendrites (submissions) wins the featured picture prize, for 3 FPs in round 3 and 5 overall.
- Lee Vilenski (submissions) wins the featured article reviewer prize, for 23 FAC reviews in round 5.
- Epicgenius (submissions) wins the good article prize, for 45 GAs in round 2 and 113 overall.
- MPJ-DK (submissions) wins the topic prize, for 33 articles in good topics in round 2.
- The Rambling Man (submissions) wins the good article reviewer prize, for 100 good article reviews in round 2.
- Epicgenius (submissions) wins the DYK prize, for 22 Did you know articles in round 4 and 94 overall.
- Bloom6132 (submissions) wins the ITN prize, for 63 In the news articles in round 4 and 136 overall.
Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2021 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

- It happens. You do a great thing here at Wikipedia and I value your opinions and contributions even if we don't always agree. :) --Tsistunagiska (talk) 13:02, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Tsistunagiska: we all want to improve the encyclopaedia. My first thought was that a player that has never played a game of professional football would never be notable but was happy to be proved wrong in this case. Spiderone 13:19, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
- I deleted our last conversation. Thank you for your kind response but my long diatribe was inappropriate for me to leave here. Feel free to delete this or I will soon. I thought about it all night and just wanted to formally apologize.--Tsistunagiska (talk) 13:23, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Notability or not
Hi, i want to ask that are articles about referees who officiated World Cup or European Cup (any continental main tournament) matches natable??? thanksAlmgerdeu (talk) 16:15, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Almgerdeu: - Hi, it's not a major factor. What's most important is that they pass WP:GNG and have reliable sources talking about them in detail. If someone has refereed in a World Cup but can only be sourced to database listings then they are not notable. A referee that has never officiated in a major tournament but has plenty of coverage in reliable sources will still be notable. Hope that helps. Spiderone 16:57, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

- @Spiderone: about the article Iman Farzin you voted for delete, there are plenty of reliable sources referenced for this article (as the main subject). Can you explain for what reason you said that it doesn’t have significant coverage? There are more than 30 references of reliable media, news agencies and newspapers. Thanks 86.55.112.237 (talk)
- Having translated a lot of sources, a lot of them provide just passing mentions and are not focused on Farzin as an individual Spiderone 10:38, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Thai seasons
If 2016 Ubon UMT United F.C. season should go, do you think 2015 Krabi F.C. season should go as well? Playing in the same league... Geschichte (talk) 22:34, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Geschichte: I would agree. I must have missed that one when I did a PROD of a few last week. Spiderone 22:43, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
