Hello, Northamerica1000. You have new messages at Rialta's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

We just noticed that the Mark Schaefer page ^[1] was deleted. We were not notified this was even being considered. After reading the log, this could have been prevented had we been alerted this was about to happen. Sources and wording would have been updated to adhere to Wiki's rules to show Mark's authority in his industry. He is a leading figure who is sought after by Fortune 100 companies in his industry. My question is why were we not notified and what can we do to get his page back?

• Hello Rialta: It's unfortunate that you were not notified about the deletion discussion, but some users don't perform this when nominating an article for deletion. A problem is that per the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Schaefer, it was determined that the subject does not presently meet Wikipedia's notability standards (e.g. see WP:BASIC and WP:NOTE) for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Per the overall arguments and consensus at the deletion discussion, I'm not allowed to restore the deleted article under these circumstances.

Can you provide any evidence that the subject may meet any of Wikipedia's notability criteria? This would serve to provide a means for the article to be recreated. For example, has the subject received significant coverage in reliable sources that is beyond routine, local coverage? North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 02:50, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

• • Thank you for getting back with me Northamerica1000! Again, Wiki didn't alert me to your response (even though I have notifications turned on in the settings). We are working on getting Mark's accomplishments together. He does meet the notability criteria, we were just not given a chance to update his Wiki page prior to it being deleted.

Rialta (talk) 20:09, 27 August 2016

The article ReaLemon you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:ReaLemon for things which need to be addressed.

Hello my friend! Do you remember we came up with some way to sort tables that otherwise wouldn't sort properly? I think it was tables that had a rowspan or colspan thingy. Does that ring a bell? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:33, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

@Anna Frodesiak: Check out the new List of blue cheeses created today. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 07:28, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

It's wonderful! You make great stuff! And I always thought there was just one kind of blue cheese. It would probably be best if there were one kind and it was all kept in one place and I was told where that place was and the cheese would have have restraining order to be five miles away from me at all times. But that would be in a perfect world. A world where blue cheese was kept under control. We need more laws. We need the Blue Cheese Act of 2016. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:34, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

@Anna Frodesiak: Thanks. Making the initial list is easy; it's the expansion that takes time. Cheese is awesome. Hey, in the process of performing research for the article, I found out that over 50% of all cheese in South Africa is made in Western Cape, so I added this to the article (diff). So, at least part of your wish comes true, in a roundabout way, I suppose, if you were to move to Western Cape. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 07:43, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

I'm so glad you told me. I was about to have a holiday in Western Cape. I've set fire to my tickets and just purchased new ones to Kilauea Light, the nearest land mass I could find to the exact opposite point on the globe. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:06, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors September 2016 News Hello everyone, and welcome to the September 2016 GOCE newsletter. >>> Sign up for the September Drive, already in progress! <<< July Drive: The July drive was a roaring success. We set out to remove April, May, and June 2015 from our backlog (our 149 oldest articles), and by 23 July, we were done with those months. We added July 2015 (66 articles) and copy-edited 37 of those. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from June 2016. Well done! Overall, we recorded copy edits to 240 articles by 20 editors, reducing our total backlog to 13 months and 1,656 articles, the second-lowest month-end total ever. August Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 21 through 27 August; the theme was sports-related articles in honor of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Of the eight editors who signed up, five editors removed 11 articles from the backlog. A quiet blitz – everyone must be on vacation. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

Hello,

I am trying to create a page for a photographer I look up to the most and aspire to be. He has been published in Playboy, GQ, Arsenic Magazine, and many other online and print publishing. The page I made for him has been deleted and I was wondering how I would go about fixing or revising it so it would be fine. I had citations, references and was cited from the GQ Wikipedia page.

Please let me know what I can do to create one for him because he truly deserves it for all the amazing work he has done and the people he has inspired.

Thank you Dangcovu (talk) 18:21, 31 August 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.191.175.199 (talk) 18:19, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

• Hello Dangcovu: Neither of the sources that were in the article prior to its deletion even mentioned the subject (, ). Per the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/VU TANG CLAN, it was determined that the subject does not presently meet Wikipedia's notability standards (e.g. see WP:BASIC and WP:NOTE) for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Per the overall arguments and consensus at the deletion discussion, I'm not allowed to restore the deleted article under these circumstances.

Can you provide any evidence that the subject may meet any of Wikipedia's notability criteria? This would serve to provide a means for the article to be recreated. For example, has the subject received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources? North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 01:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

First of all, I do not agree with your assertion WP:BLP1E. There is a lot more to the title than just the pageant. Each (legitimate) pageant generates press coverage depending on its scope, covering the state or country. They usually have a year long title reign where there is frequently coverage of their activities and promotions. Then, most of these local wins result in a second competition, the superior pageant to which they are the qualifying.

Look at:

• Rashontae Wawrzyniak who appeared, credited in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and was quoted in the New York Times supporting Donald Trump after the network coverage for her pageant was cancelled due to his racist comments about Mexicans while announcing for president.
• Mekayla Diehl look at several appearances on major networks resulting from the Twitter storm about her appearance at the pageant.
• Penny James Five times on the Playboy cover is certainly not one event.
• Kiran Jassal While her second pageant has not occurred yet she has done additional modeling that is sourced. I will add, when an athlete qualifies to represent their country to the Olympics, we use that as a cause to generate an article for that athlete. This is one of the major things I do on wikipedia, repeatedly. WP:NSPORT Why should that be different in qualifying for the major event in their realm?
• Jana Murrell I haven't added a thing to this one but there are multiple items sourced, early failed attempts to win, the win in Nebraska 2005, the runner up a Miss Earth USA, and the subsequent public appearance as traffic reporter for the Omaha ABC affiliate for two years.
• Guerin Austin In addition to her two pageants (and previous attempts) she received extensive coverage for her work at NESN, particularly the Gatorade incident in June.
• Shaletta Porterfield The entire bizarre arrest and resignation certainly makes her uniquely notable
• Alexis Railsback Is somewhat more conventional, she has the local title, the state title, the duties of the state titleholder, including a local TV interview, and the national pageant. Plus she too was quoted about Trump in the Kansas City Star, her quote less overt than Wawrzyniak.

This is a pattern of eight that you could have sourced yourself, instead you didn't apparently notice these conditions or fail to recognize the multiple steps each of these pageant winners take. Yet you ivoted negatively on all of them. And you gave zero keep votes, even in the obvious cases in the same list, you just step forward to another one you can ivote against. I guess it would be pretty obvious I do the opposite. I spend my effort on the articles I can rescue from the obliteration you keep ivoting for. Google research I do WP:BEFORE takes a lot more work than the drive by ditto votes you do. What concerns me the most is the potential damage deletionists like you do to wikipedia. We are a knowledge database. Beauty pageants aren't really important to the overall scheme of things but every thing that gets successfully deleted is knowledge the world loses. If it weren't for people like me trying to save information, whole swaths of wikipedia could disappear. And inconsiderate deletionists are entirely to blame. I say it on my user page. If you don't know about a subject, if you don't know what you are talking about, then butt out. Meaning research first, then act. If you had done due diligence and researched any of the above, you shouldn't have wanted to delete the information (the effect of merging). Trackinfo (talk) 09:20, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

• I did invite you here to comment about any of my pageant-related !votes if you'd like, but I notice that you have not contributed to any of the AfD discussions for the articles you list above. You should consider posting your comments at the respective AfD discussions. If you do so, it's typically best to provide sources that provide significant coverage to back any claims of notability. Since I have contributed to those discussions, I won't be closing any of them. Of note is that I had already changed my !vote at this discussion prior to your post here. (Addend: Here's another example.) Also, I'm not a "deletionist"; I have actually rescued many articles from deletion via the provision of guideline- and policy-based rationales and the provision of sources in many AfD discussions.

Do the sources at Talk:Bentley Systems now meet the notability standard? MBisanz ^talk 22:28, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

• @MBisanz: Wow, that's a lot of coverage to wade through. I think I may pass at this time on performing all of the research required in assessing all of those sources, because I'm working on other matters. I noticed the query on your talk page about the deleted article. Perhaps you could userfy or draftify (to draft namespace) the deleted article and recommend for the user to work on it there. If the user feels that the topic meets notability guidelines, they can submit the work to Articles for creation, where the submission can be reviewed. An easy way to do this is to place {{Userspace draft}} atop the page and then select the "Submit your draft for review" link. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 07:46, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Sure thing.  Done MBisanz ^talk 13:01, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sailson Jose das Gracas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Telegraph. 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.

@Northamerica1000: User:Skullredemption, I am not sure if it meets Wikipedia policy or not which is why I wanted to get your consult before I did anything to it. RexPatricius (talk) 17:48, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

• @RexPatricius: JJMC89 blanked the page (diff). The article exists at Stone Cold Steve Austin. I don't forsee myself becoming involved in researching the subject at this time. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 07:23, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

hello, my article was deleted, please i will like some assistance as to how to make it wikipedia worthy, the person in quote is very notable. Thank you Kelvinsage1 (talk) 20:19, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

• Hello Kelvinsage1 Wikipedia articles typically need to meet various notability guidelines. I'm not sure which article you're referring to, but generally speaking, to qualify for an article, a topic or person is required to have received significant coverage in independent, third-party reliable sources to establish topic notability, and information within articles need to be properly verified.

See the table at right for various topic-specific notability guideline pages. For people, see Wikipedia:Notability (people) and WP:BASIC, which is a part of this page that provides basic criteria. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 08:16, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

the name of the article is Omavua Akatugba, i submitted it for review but you declined it in grounds that it reads more like an advertisement. I have made neccesary adjustments, il like for you to check it again. thanks. Kelvinsage1 (talk) 12:03, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

• Hi Kelvinsage1: I have not contributed to the review of the draft you submitted at Draft:Omavua Akatugba. The reviewers were User:Abdullah Alam and User:CatcherStorm. So, you should contact them regarding matters regarding the new draft. The deletion discussion for Oma Akatugba had a strong consensus for deletion, based upon the subject not meeting notability guidelines. So, after you clean-up any promotional tone in the draft, it is advised to still include sources that qualify the subject's notability. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 00:55, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Hey, how's it going? This is a fairly silly question to begin with, but since you're an administrator I've worked with in the past, I wanted to clarify something with you. I recently nominated my first article to undergo the featured article candidate process, and so far it's been going quite well and I've received phenomenal feedback from seven highly experienced users. As I progress throughout a reviewer's suggestions and comments, I generally strikethrough their text in order to state that whatever request they put forward has been completed; I've done this on several occasions and have never had a problem with anyone regarding this. I have also done so as it seems reasonable, due to the fact that WP:FAC discourages the "done" and "not done" symbols as they can slow down the page. However, a recent admin seems quite upset that I did so to his comments, even though I really did not mean anything by it, other than I had taken his suggestion and is currently displayed in the article. I don't know if there really is a clear, end-all answer, but is this generally considered rude? I truly would never mean to upset anyone over here; this was never my intention. Thank you, Carbrera (talk) 21:58, 13 September 2016 (UTC).

• Hi Carbrera The short answer from me is 1) if the user doesn't want their commentary struck, then don't strike it, 2) since the {{done}} templates (et al.) are discouraged, you can simply denote progress by stating something such as Done:, followed by any commentary. Upon reading the discussion there, Bencherlite didn't actually seem chapped about it, instead they came across to me as just stating their preference.
