Proposed deletion of Sir Bob Ukachukwu Theeves

The article Sir Bob Ukachukwu Theeves has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. reddogsix (talk) 02:29, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Bob Ukachukwu

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.

A tag has been placed on Bob Ukachukwu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Sir Bob Ukachukwu Theeves, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Contest this speedy deletion".

Hello, I'm Tony Tan. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, PACTF, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

DGG ( talk ) 10:51, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

This should never have been declined. The first reviewer wrote " The only references are to MOMA, i.e. WP:PRIMARY sources. We need WP:SECONDARY sources which talk about the painting."

I consider this a misunderstanding. The only primary source that's relevant here is the painting itself. The MOMA catalog information is a reliable secondary source from an unquestionable authoritative institution. It may have some sort ofcoi because it owns the painting, but it is nonetheless universally accepted as the basic reliable source, with the only possible more reliable source a monograph on the artist.. And since it is our practice that any painting collected by a major museum justifies an article,and since MOMA is one of theleading museums famous throught the world, nothing mroe really needs to be shown.

Please add as many moresucharticlesas youcan. But it does help to have an additional source as well, just to avoid difficulty with thos ewho may not understand. DGG ( talk ) 11:00, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Tagging talk pages

Hi! Thanks for your contributions. But note that the correct way to add WikiProject tags to articles is using the template, such as:

{{WikiProject Visual arts}}

This would automatically cause the talk page to be categorised in Category:WikiProject Visual arts articles.

Do not manually add

[[Category:WikiProject Visual arts articles]]

to talk pages. There exists a HotCat-like script that you may use to add these tags more easily. Cheers, SD0001 (talk) 14:55, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Please stop setting article "importance"

I can see from your recent contribution history that you've altered the "importance" level of about 75 articles in the last couple of days, sometimes at the rate of 3 or 4 per minute. Please stop doing this and discuss it.

The assessment of article class and importance is done by experienced editors who are familiar with the Wikipedia:Content assessment project, and with the project guidelines. Please do not alter the article assessment codes on articles, until you have discussed it with members of the project. Thank you. Mathglot (talk) 05:39, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

2019 US Banknote Contest

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Hi, General Poxter

I appreciate your enthusiasm running for ArbCom, but please take a very close look at the WMF's requirements for access to nonpublic personal data and confirm that you're eligible to serve if elected. LINK

Best regards, —Tim ///// Carrite (talk) 17:35, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi GeneralPoxter, I also appreciate your enthusiasm, but would like to respectfully suggest that you withdraw. You do good work in article space, and I hope you keep improving the encyclopedia! As you may have gathered from the questions and comments, a lot of editors are worried about your experience, and it would be better to focus your efforts on improving the encyclopedia in ways you already have experience in. ArbCom elections are unpleasant even for editors with 5 to 10 years of experience, and you'll probably be a happier and more productive if you withdrew. Wug·a·po·des​ 08:46, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Good timing stepping aside fast, don't be discouraged or worry about it. Everything in good time. Good luck with your continued editing at Wikipedia and I'm sure we'll be hearing more of your name in the future. best, —tim /// Carrite (talk) 19:34, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Agreed with Carrite. I know it’s not much consolation, but thank you for volunteering to do a thankless job that, frankly, most Wikipedians aren’t willing to touch with a ten-foot bargepole. It takes a lot to be willing to throw your hat in the ring. Personally, I would consider it a bullet dodged that you’re withdrawn from the election now, but I’d encourage you to continue growing as an editor, put a few years worth of time in gaining the trust of the community, and you’ll stand a better chance of joining the ArbCom, if that’s your goal.

You say that is customary for classical compositions' articles to keep instrumentation and structure separate, and I doubt it. Featured articles BWV 4, Messiah, Piano Concerto No. 24 (Mozart) and Requiem (Reger) (to name just a few) don't, and why separate in a short article? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:21, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Who are you talking to, Gerda? The General, or me? I said that it is customary to add a discography. A discography. Eine Diskografie. --Edelseider (talk) 15:25, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Please refer to articles concerning symphonies. Symphony No. 8 (Mahler), Symphony No. 9 (Beethoven) just to name a few. GeneralPoxter (talk) 15:28, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, I indented wrong. The discogrphy wa added. First time today I heard that that is needed, - always learning. - GP, Do we have a FA article on a symphony? A guideline to say it's wanted? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:31, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

I also didn't know that discography was an absolutely necessary part of a musical composition article. @Gerda Arendt: There is not exactly a guideline on this, but it is best to remain consistent within the type of composition. GeneralPoxter (talk) 15:33, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

(ec) Having looked at Mahler and Beethoven: for Mahler, I think the header "Instrumentation" is justified, because it's a serious discussion. For Beethoven - as Kalinnikov - I doubt the use of the whole section, which is only a list of instruments. - After edit conflict: feel free to call me Gerda, and no ping needed, I'm watching. Consistency is nice, but no more. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:38, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

In the composer's article, zwo refs are not used, Anon.(a) and Anon.(2004), - it's probably easier for you to fix than for me. - Please: no harv-ids in Further reading, to avoid glaring error messages that theay are not used. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:24, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Well, I have recently found out that the topic actually already has an article (Congratulations (PewDiePie, Roomie, and Boyinaband song). So, I merged the content from my draft into that article. I tried renaming the article to "Congratulations (PewDiePie song)," although it wouldn't let me. Why is that? Is there any way I can? Melofors (talk) 22:34, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

1. You rename an article by moving it. Navigate to the "More" dropdown and you will find it there. 2. I believe the article title is good as is. There is no need to rename it as of now. GeneralPoxter (talk) 22:37, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, but renaming it isn't working for some reason. I think it could be because the name I want to rename it to is already taken by the draft, and so it wouldn't let me rename it to that. Well, I'll just keep it at this for now. Thanks for your help. -Melofors (talk) 22:56, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

Hello GeneralPoxter,

Source Guide Discussion

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

Redirects

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.

Discussions and Resources

• There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
• A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
• A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
• A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

Refresher

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

  • Draft:Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi!

Thank you for reviewing my draft article about Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture. I understand that the current draft has been declined, and the reason provided was because it was written like a marketing piece and did not have enough supporting evidence. May I ask for some additional guidance about what I could modify or eliminate that would make it seem less like a promotional article? I carefully reviewed the tips on how to write a Wikipedia page. The article is written in a neutral tone, was fact-based and referenced third-party sources in every section. Citations came from well-established publications such as the Chicago Tribune, Crain's Chicago Business, Architectural Digest, etc. If you could provide any specific advice about problematic areas and what I could rectify, I would greatly appreciate it.

Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Hi, a Turk is here. Yes, Atatürk insisted on the protection of secular reforms. - Aybeg (talk) 16:49, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Good articles

Hi GeneralPoxter, I'm sorry for the bit discouraging comment to your attempt to raise Atatürk to a GA or FA. I am also interested in reaching to raise an article to GA or FA, but I would not choose such a long article I've hardly contributed to. Here some steps which can follow to reach your goal. The editor has reached several FAs. I've read this, and it seemed to make sense. Then I've recently seen an FA from Louis Aragon Teresa Sampsonia and also a GA Safavid Georgia. Look at the references, Atatürk references are no match to these articles. I am also looking into a topic of which I could raise the article level, I think I choose a calm article that has not been woken since some time. And then really get some books, get to know the subject. And maybe I achieve a B, then I'd be already satisfied to begin with. I hope I've been of some help.13:36, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Okay got you. No I wasn't discouraged at all by your comments and am appreciative that you were so considerate to leave a personal message on my talk page. If time permits, I'll be sure to look at the issues you mentioned above. Thanks! GeneralPoxter (talk) 17:10, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

American and British English dialects

Hi. Both dialects are included in the article Kemal Atatürk. (such as -ization/-isation) It should be written in one of two dialects. Can you be interested in this topic? - Aybeg (talk) 13:57, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Yes I expressed interest in this topic on the article's talk page a few days ago. During my run-through edit of the article over the past few days, I tried to standardize the article as best I could, but I don't think I caught all the instances of inconsistencies. I was hoping to reach a broad consensus first on the article's talk page before I took any drastic action such as placing the British English banner on the article's talk page.

I used 2 sources. My knolage and the official sources, both present and past. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.185.119.98 (talk) 23:45, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

2 sources is unfortunately not optimal for an article of that size. Furthermore, I am afraid that the main issue regarding your article draft is that it reads like an advertisement and does not demonstrate topic notability. Please try and improve the article by removing exhaustive details and lists of JadooTV products as well as showing how JadooTV has achieved noteworthy recognition (e.g. wide media coverage, large consumer base, etc.).

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020

Hello GeneralPoxter,

Your help can make a difference

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.

Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate

In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Discussions and Resources

• A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
• Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
• A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
• Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

Draft:Iowa Valley Junior-Senior High School feedback

"So far, the only media sources included so far are local newspapers, which I do not believe constitute significant enough coverage." Using that criteria, most of the high schools in the US will never qualify. I'm aware that consensus was reached regarding the notability for high schools, but it's a bit unfair to exclude the schools who didn't have pages created prior to that decision, considering the average entry for a high school. It also unfairly penalizes rural areas, compared to metropolitan areas, where the only likely coverage is local newspapers. RickH86 (talk) 17:22, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

@RickH86: I am aware of your concerns, but this is simply Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia significant coverage policy dictates the need for evidence of substantial coverage, and observation of the titles of the cited sources in your draft is not enough to definitely prove these sources count as substantial. Further examination of your sources cannot be carried out because no online copies that article reviewers can access exist. Giving unverifiable articles the benefit of the doubt is risky, and thus we unfortunately cannot count your existing sources as substantial. I am sorry if my original comment was not clear about this. In addition, the article itself does not utilize any of your existing media sources to the topic's advantage by demonstrating notability. Finally, it is a undeniable truth that areas with less coverage tend to receive less coverage in encyclopedias like Wikipedia, and it is our responsibility as humans to work to bridge this inequity. However, I do not believe bringing your concerns here is the best way to address your qualms as I am in no position of power to change the existing policies of Wikipedia. I recommend bringing your concerns to the Notability talk page so that more qualified experts can deal with your concerns. GeneralPoxter (talk) 17:39, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Singt dem Herrn ein neues Lied

I wonder why you picked one particularly unknown hymn to distinguish Singt dem Herrn ein neues Lied (Kempf) from, while there are several works by Bach, and psalm translations. How about a dab page? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:36, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

I was considering making a disambiguation page, but I didn't have the time at the moment to do so. I chose that one since that page also had a redirect to the Kempf hymn. I think that the logic behind this is because the Bach works are actually settings of chorales and hymns but not hymns in themselves. I do agree making a disambiguation would make things a lot more organized though. GeneralPoxter (talk) 16:32, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello GeneralPoxter,

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

Reviewer of the Year

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

NPP Technical Achievement Award

As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.
