Speedy deletion nomination of Novomer

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 Novomer 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 an organization or company, 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. Under 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 that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Vacation9 (talk) 16:34, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Teknekron Corporation

Hello Keitsist,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Teknekron Corporation for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Jschnur (talk) 00:27, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

CAR rebellion

I would appreciate if you keep all the relevant discussion on the talk page for the article in question. In addition, please keep in mind I will notify administrators and any merge will be voted upon. Unless you present your case in full, I am not even going to waste time in discussing it. I think I made my point clear - comparing the two conflicts does not work in your favor - not only has one of the groups changed sides (at least one), there is also a splinter cell within that group, the UN forces are missing, France and the US refused help this time around, and so on and so on. The fact that the two conflicts are interconnected, i.e. one is a consequence of the other, does NOT warrant as merge of the article. You can certainly go ahead and petition for a summary article with ALL the coup d'etat since the 60s, but other than, I think you have no point. So in your reply, please, I'd like to see actual evidence of what you're saying, and keep the smiley faces to yourself. Remember that WP is a combined effort, not a do-as-you-please adventure...

Redundancy is bad

Keitsist, I see your point that these words may look weird to speakers of both involved languages. The fact, however, remains that "awkward" is still a heavily subjective word, which should generally not be used at all in an encyclopedic context. If something is awkward or not should be decided upon by the reader, not by the enclyclopedia. May I suggest a compromise? We could use the word awkward but in a sentence which quotes in the prose of the article itself the person who coined "awkward." How does "[...] which commonly leads to the, redundancy "Seleka alliance," which is viewed by [influential observer X] as "awkward." sound? —♦♦ AMBER^(ЯʘCK) 17:48, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

I just explained on your talk page the authorities that define redundant verbiage as awkward: AP and Garner.

As we are talking about a language with fewer than a half million native speakers in a third-world country with fewer than 30k internet connections, no national newspapers online and an adult literacy rate of about one half, I conclude that your "compromise proposal" was meant as a joke. I appreciate your subtle sense of humor and I will be adding something like "... moniker 'seleka coalition,' a redundancy that contravenes global news writing standards.(cite) Keitsist (talk) 18:22, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

I see you added to revision 547001531 a note about word usage. You left a citation for a writing style book.
This seemed out of place so I removed it.

Séléka

Could you please leave the line of text with ref so that readers can see what the relevant part of the reference says. Thanks. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:04, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for adding the valuable note from the Sango dictionary. I don't know how to get access to one. However, this reference style doesn't quote the cited material. Please see WP:CITEVAR. If you're worried about the source material going offline then please archive it (see Wikipedia:Using_WebCite. Also, that blog is not the most reliable source and the meaning of the word is already discussed in the article.Keitsist (talk) 03:20, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Okay. But the thing is there is a RM at the moment about the name. It is worthwhile to leave the line of text with ref so that readers can see what the relevant part of the reference says. (Personally I consider this cite format annoying and reader-unfriendly, but I understand many editors like it).

Also. This edit isn't duplication:

• A. The word Seleka reportedly means "The Alliance" or "The Coalition" in the Sango language. (source journaux-francais.com but there are others)
• B. The name of the group means the "CPSK-CPJP-UFDR Alliance" in Sango (no source)

You've removed A. not B. but A. is better sourced than B. And B is evidently incorrect since Seleka already was used as a name before for another alliance so cannot mean the "CPSK-CPJP-UFDR Alliance" in Sango. Please fix this. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:03, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

No, the source for B is AFP 2013-01-01, which is cited right at the end of that sentence. This source says exactly the same thing as the non-reliable looking blog cited for A.

It is redundant. Saying that "Séléka ABCDF" means "ABCDF Alliance" is the same as saying that "Séléka" means "Alliance," in my opinion. I see how a hasty reader could get thrown off by the group of initialisms, so a more pedantic explanation may be called for. As the abbreviations of the individual militia names have already been explained, their meaning in conjunction with the word "alliance" is self-evident. The name of the group isn't Seleka. It is Seleka CPSK-CPJP-UFDR. I added the content about the previous use in there for the precise reason that you state - to underscore that "seleka" alone is a generic term for a coalition, not a uniquely identifying name as it has come to be used. To be precise, it was not used as a name; it was used in a name.

I agree that the sfn citation format is not ideal. It is the most effective one that I have found so far though.

Could you check whether "fini" is a Sango word? I can't tell whether Démafouth's group was using the french fini or whether this means something else in Sango. Thanks in advance!Keitsist (talk) 04:41, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry "The name of the group means the "CPSK-CPJP-UFDR Alliance" in Sango " is linguistically speaking evidently nonsense and no source would say that.

The sfn citation format prevents anyone finding any reference. I click [9] and it goes to AFP 2013-01-01. I click AFP 2013-01-01. and nothing happens. How is that effective?

Even if it worked, adding the key line of text is helpful.

Fini means Life or New. I'm not sure whether Fini Seleka means Life Alliance or New Alliance or both In ictu oculi (talk) 05:26, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

I apologize if I'm being thick. I am no linguistics expert. To me it is very difficult to imagine how "some foreign phrase" means "some English phrase, in some language" would not convey exactly what it seems like it should. In this case "the name of the group" stands in for the "some foreign phrase." While this requires the reader to remember for about three paragraphs what the name of the group is, it avoids repeating the unfortunately lengthy name itself.

The sfn style separates footnotes from the reference list, which is the intuitive approach for anyone who reads academic texts. I started appreciating it when I was citing books, which you can't click through to anyhow. The web links are still there in the reference list though. Regards, Keitsist (talk) 06:14, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Compare "Discos Sony BMG" means records in Spanish" - don't worry I will fix it.

As to the links, the whole point of wp is that it is html. Ideally the ref should be (a) possible to find, which at the moment on this article they aren't because they are dislocated, (b) give BOTH click through AND the key line of text whether the link will rot or not. I'm going to repair [9], because I will have to to fix above. It's up to you if you want to make the others possible for readers to find. In ictu oculi (talk) 06:52, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

No, the equivalent statement is "'discos Sony BMG' means 'Sony BMG disks' in Spanish." Your statement, which I removed, is the equivalent of "'discos' means 'disks' in Spanish." Neither is incorrect. I am arguing for the former because this article is about a group called Seleka CPSK-CPJP-UFDR, not the generic Sango word Seleka. Keitsist (talk) 07:03, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Well I have fixed the sentence to make sense, please do not change it.

As to your links, they simply do not work. Clicking on the second section leaves the reader stranded unable to find the links in the third. Either you've set up the refs incorrectly or the template simply doesn't work. I suggest you either solve the problem or not use the template. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:06, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

I am fixing the links. You are intentionally violating the clear policy at WP:CITEVAR. This is not about what you prefer. The sfn style is established in this article. Please stop damaging the article.

Keitsist

(1) WP:CITEVAR is something I have not seen before. Perhaps because the non-functioning template you are using isn't common on articles I work on.

For future reference however when you say someone is intentionally doing something counter a guideline that you haven't cited you're making an assumption and accusation which is straying close to a personal attack. It is best not to use the word "intentionally" about other editor's intentions freely.

I repeat however that as to your links, they simply do not work. Clicking on the second section leaves the reader stranded unable to find the links in the third. Either you've set up the refs incorrectly or the template simply doesn't work. I suggest you either solve the problem or not use the template.

(2) For someone who a few lines upward was wondering if Fini was French for finished, you shouldn't be insisting on what is a simple linguistic note. You have there a sentence which is still incorrect and still not what the source says.

As a compromise I had changed

• The name of the group means the "CPSK-CPJP-UFDR Alliance" in Sango,

To

• The name Séléka CPSK-CPJP-UFDR means the "CPSK-CPJP-UFDR Alliance" in Sango,

But then reverted myself.

If you can't see why your sentence doesn't match up with the source, and if you're not willing to let someone who knows something about language edit the sentence, then that isn't my problem.

I tried to help you, I looked up Sango words for you and well... Anyway my involvement with this article is finished. Please do not ask me to check any African vocabulary for you. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:05, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

It wasn't a personal attack. It was a factually correct account of your actions. In my first response to you (03:20, 31 March 2013 (UTC)), above, I politely asked you to please review the CITEVAR policy and I linked to it. We discussed it, and then you went ahead and added more non-conforming references anyway. I do not mean to offend you by saying that. I did mean to bring it to your attention so that you would stop repeating it.

I also never asked about French meaning of fini. I asked what the Sango meaning was. I found that dictionary now as well, but I do appreciate your help with this word.

Yes, I have put a lot of effort into this article, but that has nothing to do with the fact that it is objectively damaging when editors do not take due care to review cited sources. Sources give individual statements. We combine these statements into sentences, paragraphs and articles. That AFP source makes all the statements that appear in that translation that you objected to. I realize that this phrase is too complex for many editors to process all at once so it will be changed.

That is all. I wish you all the best for your future editing. Regards, Keitsist (talk) 09:06, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Okay you are in fact correct that you did mention CITEVAR, it didn't register. As I said I have never come across it. All the same please don't say "intentionally" in an edit summary, it is not nice. And all I can say is you've effectively locked out other editors from contributing to any article you make a rule that once this ghastly (and non-working) template is used every other user must use it or is not allowed to add sources, without which they cannot edit. And the result still doesn't work, you still have created an article where half the references cannot be seen or accessed. Click RFI 2012-12-20 and you see what I mean. Click, nothing happens, no clue where or what the ref is. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:22, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

I put up with citation styles that aren't my favorite all the time. Their documentation is all available, eg WP:SFN. I didn't invent that, I'm not the only one using it. I also repair and improve many references inserted by other authors. I believe that this is the most constructive path.

I see that some of those citations don't take you immediately to where you want to go. I apologize. I'm working on it. In the mean time it is easy to visually identify the appropriate source in the list below, based on name and date, just as in the journals we all grew up with. Again, I really don't mean to get personal, but I keep getting the sense that you are not reading thoroughly enough and then blaming (and even belittling) others when you don't comprehend (see: missed CITEVAR link, misread fini question, overlooked reference links, improper Sony BMG comparison). As you otherwise appear to be an intelligent editor, it is difficult to perceive this as other than intentional. Keitsist (talk) 11:31, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Plectranthus rotundifolius‎

Hi, Keitsist. Thanks for your additions to the Plectranthus rotundifolius‎ article! I liked your reformating of Vernacular Names table. I'm glad someone's taking an interest in the article, and the plant, since I've been really lazy about working on it. I copied some additional sources about the plant from the draft on my old user space to the article's talk page. Hopefully, they'll be you useful to you and other editors, and maybe to me if I get back to work on it.

I have a question about ngaboyo as a vernacular name P. rotundifolius‎. Is this just from the list in Lost Crops of Africa? If so, I'm dubious about adding it. Names from Lost Crops' list that I've been able to check have numerous errors – which can happen easily enough if someone's typing up lists of words in foreign languages, and the editors have no way to check them. For example, they have kentang dwaja as an Indonesian vernacular name. It's a typo for kentang Djawa, the pre-1972 spelling for kentang Jawa, "Java potato". They have kembili or ubi kembili listed as a name in Malaysia – gembili is a vernacular name for Dioscorea esculenta (a kind of yam), not Plectranthus rotundifolius‎. They give kizhangu as a vernacular name in India. It means "tuber" in Tamil and Malayalam, and P. rotundifolius called is siru kizhangu, "little tuber", in Tamil, but kizhangu by itself is not a specific term for P. rotundifolius in either language.

I haven't been willing to add names from the list in Lost Crops to the article unless they're confirmed by other sources familiar with the language, the plant, and the botanical name (preferably a source familiar with all three, but I've been willing to accept a combination of sources to confirm that a listed name is a real word and does in fact refer to P. rotundifolius‎). That Lost Crops just gives ngaboyo as a name in Chad without specifying a language doesn't exactly inspire confidence. --Namnagar (talk) 12:39, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

• I'm not really that worried about it. I have had no indication that the Lost Crops book is unreliable but that may be true. At the moment it is the only reference to the plant's name in Chad. My inclination would be to include it since I can't imagine how doing so would cause harm if it turns out to be false and it increases the chances that future editors will improve it. Keitsist (talk) 22:59, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

I didn't mean to imply that Lost Crops was in any general way unreliable, just that their list of vernacular names isn't. Like I said, lists like this are very easy to screw up and hard for editors to vet, especially if some of the names are in obscure languages. Namnagar (talk) 23:57, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Yamaha Ténéré 700 moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Yamaha Ténéré 700, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Paleofauna of Uganda

A tag has been placed on Category:Paleofauna of Uganda indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:56, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Louise Byg Kongsholm

The article Louise Byg Kongsholm has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Kongsholm's work does not appear to meet WP:AUTHOR and I cannot find sufficient sources to meet WP:BASIC. The only significant coverage I have found is this short article with an overview of her career.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
