Deletion review for Huccha Venkat

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Huccha Venkat. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. draft version Draft:Huccha Venkat Rajannamysore (talk) 16:13, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Please complete your review in the article Draft:Huccha Venkat and remove your comment in the top of the page. Thanks. Rajannamysore (talk) 02:35, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Rajannamysore, if this is going to be re-created (which appears to be likely) then the comment will be automatically removed and the page moved to the mainspace. I'm not going to complete my review in the meantime, as it's still at DRV. Moving it before the discussion is over can be seen as disruptive, even though the outcome here looks to be fairly obvious. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:13, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Tokyogirl79 Thank you. I am new to this process. I have been just editing/creating the articles so far. If your comment is not removed when they move the draft to article. I will ping you for assistance. Thanks for your support and patience. I learnt something new in wikipedia, its fun! Rajannamysore (talk) 04:20, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

03:38:35, 28 November 2015 review of submission by Outflanked


Hi - Thank you very much for taking the time to review my submission. You note that you are looking for a newspaper review of the orchestra which is precisely what I included with the latest submission, so I am very confused as to what is expected. I am grateful for your time and do sincerely want to follow the directions. It is the Delco News link in the citation. Thanks again for your consideration. Kevin

Effects of genocide on youth page

Hi, Thanks for giving me the heads up about the deletion of Effects of genocide on youth. I have removed the tag and will work with the student to improve the article between now and the end of the semester. I appreciate your advocacy. Prof.Vandegrift (talk) 20:28, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Re-writing article

Bonjour, I was told this article should need some rewritting. In fact it is a translation of the French Wikipedia article: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Fran%C3%A7ois_Pernette . Should I shorten it by deleting lists of responsabilities, minor publications etc...? Discoveries and distinctions are important though, as J.F. Pernette is one of the most prolific cave explorer of the last decades. Sincerely yours, Pipistrellus~enwiki (talk) 10:28, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

  • Good morning Pipistrellus~enwiki! I've restored the draft article since you've left a message on my talk page, as I mostly just wanted to make sure that you were going to be back to edit. You can find it at Draft:Jean-François PERNETTE. As for what is needed... hmm... I suppose that the major discoveries and explorations section could be limited to just the ones that are covered in reliable sources. However you could likely turn this into a paragraph or two about his most notable expeditions while still including everything. I do note that most of the references you've listed are in French and aren't listed on the page, so I'm going to ask for help from WP:FRANCE (a project devoted to France and French related coverage on Wikipedia) with looking for and translating the sources. (They can also help translate some of the English Wikipedia's guidlines, if you need them to do that.) Many of Pernette's accomplishments were done prior to the Internet becoming popular, so it may be more difficult for non-French fluent editors to find sourcing - WP:FRANCE can help with that since they'd know the language and most importantly - where to find them. Google isn't always the best at finding non-English coverage. Something to take into consideration while looking for coverage though, is that articles written by Pernette or people affiliated with him cannot show notability.

Punchirikku Parasparam

Thanks for the response. I had made some edits in it. Added more sources (other language also as you said). I was actually confused, those three sources was enough for the content in that article. And I am surprised to see a man who created this biographical article about a living person (which do not have sources to support notability but a lot of personal informations in the infobox) added a deletion tag to an article that was significantly sourced, that too a speedy deletion. --Inside the Valley (talk) 21:15, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Delection for San Diego Derby Dolls

Hello, I hope I'm using this page properly. I apologize if I have made a mistake. Tokyogirl79, you have contested my claim that the San Diego Derby Dolls page should be deleted. I feel very strongly about this, if you do as well, please let me know what you're thinking. The majority of the cited sources are broken links with no backups on Internet Archive or Google Cache. The remaining working links are all the same publication, and that publication does not appear to meet wikipedia's published standards. Additionally, it seems that local sports teams at this level fall into the same category as local bands and podcasts. If you believe it is significant to the extent that it belongs in wikipedia, could you please help me understand your thinking? If there is a relevant Wikipedia guideline that you would recommend I review, please consider sharing it with me. I have looked into this in depth, and do feel very strongly about this. Thanks! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sailing californium (talk • contribs) 21:53, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Funny thing: the editor above just joined wikipedia today, and all their edits are targeting this article, as well as that of the league founder, Bonnie D.Stroir, with another (spurious) speedy nomination. Highly suspicious. Echoedmyron (talk) 04:35, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
  • I'd replied at the AfD, but the long and short is that it's very easy to pass speedy criteria because the bar for this is so insanely low. An article in a major publication - even if the article is online only or may seem like it's throwaway coverage - is enough to accomplish this. Trust me when I say that the bar is very, very low, as I've seen deletions overturned at deletion review for far less than what's in this article. AfD is usually the best place for anything that has even a slight chance of being contested with a reasonable counterargument, since it saves more trouble in the long run and is ultimately the most final form of deletion on here, barring actions from the Foundation. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 13:50, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
  • @Sailing californium: This is also why I declined the speedy on Stroir. There's a valid assertion of notability (namely that she was an assistant coach for a national roller derby team), so it's almost certain that any speedy deletion for notability would be overturned at DRV. You can always pursue deletion via AfD if you want. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 13:54, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Devlin crow block

I agree 100% with the reasons for the block. The only reason I didn't block immediately was to give a chance for the editor to request a username change, but he or she has now had plenty of time to do so, and has not done so. Personally, I wouldn't have bothered to block unless he or she edited again, but I have no quarrel with your doing so.

Hypatia

Hi, your edit at Hypatia was a return to an old version from 1 June [1] (cf.

Hi, Tokyogirl79. FYI: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sinclairindex is open. This is quite a knot to untie. I had initially suggested that the editor not jump with this to ANI because I wanted to see where we stood before it hit the drama board. But now that the consensus at the AFDs is piling up -- and as soon as the SPAs are checkusered and blocked -- I think we can take a weedwhacker to the whole mess. — CactusWriter (talk) 23:58, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

WEAK? For a completed and yet-unreleased film, this film's production most definitely meets WP:NFF (paragraph 3) per Sac Lake Express, Sacramento Bee, American River Current, ABC 10 News, Sacramento Business Journal, Sacramento Bee, and more. This should never have been brought to AFD. It being weakly sourced when so easily improvable is not a "technicality".... it's simply a reason to improve, and reflects a very poor BEFORE by the nominator..

Block

Hi Tokiogirl: 2 questions: 1. why did Ymblanter block me and then unblock me? 2. I used a little humour with Ymblanter because he was rather arrogant with me (I don't know what you call it in Japan but we call it an eye for an eye): he does not just apply the rules of Wikipedia as an admin, he also makes little mean comments as if saying "see? I am sticking it to you" (check out the very first warning he wrote on my talk page). Should that be tolerated? What does that mean? That he is an admin so he can be rude to people and if someone plays with him a bit, he uses his admin powers? Same user as above, by the way, just different ip. PS See, if I was really that disruptive I would use a different ip every five minutes and good luck blocking me. I could so easily play a cat and mouse game with somebody like Ymblanter and his pals, but I will not do that, since that would not help wikipedia. Best regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.170.208.202 (talk) 12:28, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

  • For more humor, see Talk:Yaroslav Blanter. Drmies (talk) 18:04, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
  • He blocked you because you were edit warring without discussing things on the talk page, as was requested. Now because he was involved with the situation, he unblocked you and asked for help. As far as you IP hopping goes, that doesn't really show that you truly want to edit Wikipedia in a positive manner. All that you needed to do was take the discussion to the article's talk page and show proof to back up your edits like Ymblanter asked. You chose not to do that and to vandalize his comments. If you genuinely want to help out on Wikipedia you need to at least try to show good faith on your part. Coming on here and going "ha ha ha, I'm on a new IP" doesn't really show that you intend to do that and makes it appear that you will most likely just continue to edit in disruptive ways. In other words, the person who looks the worst in this situation isn't Ymblanter, but you because right now you are being disruptive and to be perfectly honest, this will not help you when it comes time to discuss the material you want added or changed.

draft:The Eiffel Tower (Seurat)

Oh, come on Tokyogirl79 The Eiffel Tower by Seurat is completely acceptable! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.137.78.20 (talk) 10:40, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

  • @92.137.78.20: No, it was not. The article contained original research, which is not acceptable on Wikipedia. It was written like a research paper, which is an entirely different beast than an encyclopedia article. What you need to do to make it acceptable for Wikipedia is rephrase things in the instructions I gave at Draft:The Eiffel Tower. Much of it was just finding reliable sources that explicitly backed up the claims. I also requested that you find a way for us to verify the sources in the article, since we need to make sure that the sources say what you claim they say. I just tried to find one of the sources and I need to note that one of them, the Harry N Abrams book, only has 128 pages, which does not match up with your citation that states that the content was on page 150. It might be a different book entirely, but that's the problem with this: you need to be able to properly cite things and provide something for us to be able to verify the content, otherwise we can't really accept the source on your say so. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:49, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Tokyogirl79

Hello Tokyogirl79. Why did you block the Steve Comisar article page? I didn't see any "spamming," only editors with different opinions trying to make revisions.

If I may be heard, I feel that the removal of the acting career section by Cullen328 was erroneous. Although the acting roles are not notable in themselves, they are verifiable and standard biographical details pertinent to the article. While not entirely a reliable source, IMDb is used as a reference for acting credits in countless articles and should be permitted to also be used in Comisar. I feel that the "22 Nov 2015" revision represents the most neutral and overall accurate portrait of Comisar. For the foregoing reasons, I respectfully request that you please reinstate the article to the "22 Nov 2015" revision.

Note: When Ruby Murray (a great editor) created the acting career section over a year ago, referenced by IMDb, nobody objected to it until Cullen328 came along and butchered the article. PediatricMD (talk) 19:52, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

  • I blocked it for the reasons specified here and here. As far as the reversions go, if you want to have the page reverted you need to request this on the article's talk page. There has been some valid concern that Comisar is trying to use Wikipedia as a way to rehabilitate his image, which isn't Wikipedia's purpose. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:23, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of the article- "Rajesh Sharma (entrepreneur)

Dear Tokyogirl79, I had created an article based on the Director of my company: Mr. Rajesh Sharma, wherein I tried my best to refer the authentic sources such as DataQuest Magazine, etc that is amongst the leading Magazines in India. Kindly, go through the link http://www.dqindia.com/a-rich-brew/ which was published on MARCH 13, 2010. However, you deemed it fit to delete the article by mentioning "Unambiguous advertising or promotion, Article about a real person, which does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject. Dear, the article is yet to include the content related to his personal life and other sub-headings also. He is an emerging entrepreneur and is welcomed to address the students by several Universities like Amity. Recently, he has also mentored a group of Startups at Business World Magazine office in New Delhi. I request you to retrieve the article and I would be much obliged to you if you let me know about the area of my article to focus upon while editing......Thank You Rajesh.letscomply (talk) 09:57, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

  • The article had several issues. The first was that overall I didn't see where Sharma passed notability guidelines as a whole. This link only mentioned him in relation to the company and did not establish notability for Sharma. CFO did focus on him, but that didn't appear to be a reliable source. Now the other issue was that the article was also fairly promotional in tone (phrases like "committed to provide the best" were peppered throughout the article) and read like a CV for Sharma. I'm not going to restore this. However that said, I have no problem with you working on a fresh, new copy at WP:AfC. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:24, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Henry Watson Potteries

The article Henry Watson's Potteries was deleted last January as lacking adequate coverage to provide notability, despite being in business for 200 years. (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Henry Watson's Potteries) Both of the original authors Victoria.pierce and 140digital were SPAs and are long gone. There was a copyright violation that was cleared up, but as that was happening and just as the AfD was getting started, as a parting act, Victoria.pierce created a temporary page Talk:Henry Watson Potteries/Temp, which is marked "This is a temporary page created because the article at Henry Watson Potteries is suspected to be a copyright violation. Please work on a substitute article below. Admins: Please don't delete this page unless you are sure it is no longer needed." Nothing has happened since. From my searching, I agree with the deletion conclusion. What can be done about this disconnected talk page? Can it be marked for speedy deletion as a G8 even though the deleted page was technically a different name? Thanks for your time. --Bejnar (talk) 03:16, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Ah, I see now. They were the same page. On 14 January 2015 Justlettersandnumbers moved page Henry Watson Potteries to Henry Watson's Potteries. So I will just mark Talk:Henry Watson Potteries/Temp as a G8. Sometimes it helps just to write it out. --Bejnar (talk) 03:23, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I don't know where to post this...

But have come across an editor who is apparently using two accounts. The account was renamed back in 2012 but today I noticed that they seem to be using both accounts concurrently. Thought maybe someone should take a look at the two accounts and the article the two accounts have been jointly editing: Visual Collaborative, User:Nyc_compensation edits, and User:JuneHazinek edits and maybe clean up the redirect or something?... I mean, there's kind of a sockpuppet thing going on but they don't seem to be trying to disrupt Wikipedia, vandalize, etc., so I didn't want to open a full-on SPI if just a word of warning & some Wiki-housekeeping from an admin would better serve the project. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 05:03, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Rajeshbieee / Gantlet

Hi Tokyo, just throwing this out there: I'm not satisfied that there is a substantive behavioral link between Rajeshbieee and Gantlet. Naturally I don't have all the secret IP details, but they only have two articles in common as far as I can tell, which makes it difficult to believe that they're the same person. I've commented at Rajeshbieee's talk page. Just a thought. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:15, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

  • That's something you'd have to bring up at the SPI. I came into this after the fact and had to do cleanup with the articles. The problem with this user is that even without the sockpuppetry link, they still have a serious, serious problem with creating articles with extremely poor sourcing, despite having several people warn them about this and having a person from WP:INDIA helping them out.

A request

Hello. I am sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you might be able to find time to help me expand the article on Oceana Publications. This appears to me to be a very important publisher of a large number of highly notable books, that unfortunately has an underdeveloped article. I am under the impression that you are interested in articles in this particular field. Best regards. James500 (talk) 04:16, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Another Wrong Turn hoax sequel

I think Wrong Turn 7: Bloodthirsty is yet another a hoax sequel. Dread Central announced a Facebook page, but there's nothing in there that would lend credence to this Wikipedia article. I also don't see anything on Google about it or Woody Harrelson's casting. Also, the page creator looks to be busily creating more articles. I haven't checked them yet, but you know how these things tend to go. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:07, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

help please

On finding sources for either Sleeper or its alternate title Outback Revenge. Thanks, Schmidt, Michael Q. 11:39, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

  • I found some, it's probably enough for a weak keep or at the very least, enough to help justify an article for the director since his other film has received a smattering of coverage and together that'd be enough to pass notability for directors. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 14:10, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello! Re: Digital Labor

Thanks so much for commenting on my page about my Digital Labor Course. It's just started and my students will be getting started editing pages in the coming weeks. If you have recommendations for pages or Wikiprojects I should share with them, I'd appreciate it! And my students would probably love to hear from a seasoned Wikipedian! Many thanks!

Can I suggest making these AfDs into a WP:BUNDLE situation so it'd be easier to bulk-vote-in-favor-of-deletion? Dkendr (talk) 16:42, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

User:Rajeshbieee

I've CSDed some of his articles (See my CSD log) and PRODed others (See here). Could you look into them and decline/accept the CSDs and maybe overwrite some of them with AfDs or etc.? Cheers, Dat GuyTalkContribs 20:47, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

  • @Dat GuyWiki: It looks like many of them were declined. Be careful about PRODs, since many of them are getting dePRODed with the rationale that they should go through AfD. I'm fairly frustrated with that since many of the people who are doing this aren't actually helping to find sourcing, which makes their edits not very helpful in my opinion since now I've got about nine articles to take to AfD all at once. (sighs) I've asked the user to look for sources for any of the other articles he might want to dePROD and explained the circumstances. I don't think he realizes how many articles there are here. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:28, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
Yes, I did not realize how many articles are there to be scrutinized. Indeed, I glanced over the sockpuppet allegations/blocks of the user only after you informed me in my talk page. While there must be good reason for blocking the editor, several of the film articles s/he created are old Indian films, for which, as we know, good online references are extremely difficult to find out. I think several of those old film articles merit their own articles. I will try to add references for some of them, but again, that may be difficult to find. The advantage of AfD is there is (supposedly) more Indic language editors who participate in those (compared to PROD, which is automated), and hence more chance to get references. WT:INB could be a place in which this can be notified (the huge number of articles some of which are notable but lacks reference).--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:32, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
  • It's reasonable, but the main issue behind AfD is just that there's so many of these out there, otherwise AfDs wouldn't be so bad. I can understand the frustration about the films since they likely did gain coverage, but India's pretty bad about putting their old stuff in any form of online archive, even by listing title.

Magic Mansion AFD

Hi, I just came across the AFD for Magic Mansion, and a couple of bits got my attention. This program supposedly was produced at AFRTS on Okinawa, do I have that right? When was this, and was it also supposed to have been broadcast elsewhere on AFRTS? I ask out of personal curiosity, because I used to watch AFRTS as a kid ("This is American Forces Channel 8, Far East Network, Okinawa" is permanently stuck in my head). And, by an odd coincidence, I'm actually on Okinawa right now, on holiday, trying to figure out what's changed over the last mumblety mumble years. -- --Calton | Talk 11:16, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

  • @Calton: Well... the problem here is that we can't confirm that this actually aired anywhere and it's believed that this may be a complete and total hoax. According to the article it was "broadcast on the AFRTS television network from January 8, 1965, until June 1, 1968". It didn't really specify where it exactly aired, but gave off the impression that it aired or was well known in multiple countries, as filming supposedly took place in multiple countries (India, Japan, Phillipines, etc.). That's part of what marked it as a pretty obvious hoax along with a lot of other Chaney related material since it's unlikely that a program with that far of a reach and that large of a budget (filming and travel isn't cheap, even if they filmed as they traveled in the line of duty) would get zero coverage elsewhere. Now if you are still there and want to do a little research, can you ask around and see if this existed over there? Supposedly Okinawa was listed as one of the places of origin and actually the "headquarters" for the series. If you want, I can send you a copy of the article and/or get you a phone number for one of us if you wanted to talk. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:40, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
  • My thought is that if this did happen, it's likely that someone at the Okinawa military base would remember it to some degree or would have some sort of record, since this was a show that supposedly lasted 100+ episodes (yet all of the tapes for it are handily non-existent). This may be a little out of the way work for you, but you'd get some massive Wikipedia street cred if you could check this out and verify this. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:43, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
  • Sorry about the late reply, I'd forgotten about my original message.
This supposed TV show was a couple of years after my time on Okinawa (1970-73), but my own conclusion based on my memories of the time would be, yeah, completely made up. The programming on AFRTS was months-old U.S. TV shows mixed with reruns of old -- often military-oriented -- shows (Twelve O'Clock High and Combat!). The only in-house programming I recall was the nightly news program, which looked like a standard U.S. local-news broadcast except for the fact that the anchors were uniformed staff members. AFRTS reused programs a LOT -- there was one particular Yogi Bear cartoon where Yogi met an "Okinawan bear" they showed over and over -- so if "Magic Mansion" existed, AFRTS would have reran it to death. --Calton | Talk 11:15, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Jpaulm

This block seems to be based on the account denying it is Morrison, is that right? Could you point me to that? Frankly I think we are better off without this user but I would like to be clear that the block is for the correct reason. Feel free to email me if you prefer not to talk on-wiki, this is after all a living person. Guy (Help!) 17:08, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Many thanks for the unblock! All the best for 2016! Jpaulm (talk) 16:57, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
