Speedy deletion nomination of Oliveleaf4/sandbox

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Oliveleaf4/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

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 deleted 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.

Ways to improve Ontario Basic Income Pilot Project

edit

Hello, Oliveleaf4,

Thanks for creating Ontario Basic Income Pilot Project! I edit here too, under the username Citrivescence and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-

There is quite a bit of language that is non-neutral. Please revise the content and remove phrases such as "in fact" "although" and "in contrast", as these correspond to original research and argumentative writing. In addition, the lead should be rewritten to reflect the key point of each major heading of the article.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Citrivescence}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Climate change in Guatemala, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Food shortage (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Task force climate change

edit

Hello Oliveleaf4,

I saw you're one of the main editors of the Green New Deal. Given your interest in climate change related articles, I invite you to have a look at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment/Climate change task force. It's been inactive for a while, but I strongly believe that this topic should have an active group of collaborating editors to help each other with a critical eye. If you'd like to contribute, please add your name to the participants section, add some task to the to-do list or help make the to-do list a bit shorter.

Speedy deletion nomination of Climate change and agriculture in the United States

edit
 

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 Climate change and agriculture in the United States requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://hts.org.za/index.php/hts/article/download/2499/4312. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 deleted 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.

DYK for August 2020 Midwest derecho

edit

On 11 September 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article August 2020 Midwest derecho, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the August 2020 Midwest derecho destroyed millions of acres of Iowa corn (pictured) and soybean crops in just 14 hours? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/August 2020 Midwest derecho. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, August 2020 Midwest derecho), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Climate Change in Cyprus

Hi -

Thanks for rating the Climate change in Cyprus page. I agree with your assessment that it is start-class. Since you have obviously read quite a few similar articles, it would be fantastic if you would leave some suggestions for improvements that could be made, in the article's talkspace.

Recent edit reversion

edit

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick(Talk) 19:53, 5 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

It is my understanding that facts can not be copyrighted. Sometimes I lack the ingenuity to rephrase and re-format enough to satisfy others who are concerned with copyright. Please note that I have made a good faith effort to cite sources. I will not attempt to add these facts to the encyclopedia again, no matter how useful they might be. Much of the material reverted came from local news sources, not the url cited. Do you work for NorthWest Energy, perhaps? Oliveleaf4 (talk) 01:36, 6 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

WP:COI

edit

  Hello, Oliveleaf4. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:43, 4 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Please see below. I am not a paid editor, nor do I work in a related field. Adding info about climate adaptation and energy transition to the encyclopedia appears to be encouraged on the front page of WikiProject Climate change. Oliveleaf4 (talk) 16:21, 4 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:43, 4 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

If you have another openly accessible source that documents completed solar projects, please share. This is one of the only ones I could find. (There is a link that looks promising, but I'm not an SEIA member.) It makes more sense to me to update the encyclopedia with concrete examples of climate adaptation/energy transition ("Place information about climate change on pages about countries, cities, politicians.") rather than stuff that is distant from the lives of ordinary people. Oliveleaf4 (talk) 16:15, 4 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Apologies if the coi warning was a false positive, but it looks suspicious when an editor suddenly starts adding repeated references to the same site on disparate pages, especially a site that prominently advertises "top solar contractors." Trade magazines are fine as references in some cases, but the blurbs I reverted are of questionable relevance to the articles they were added to, per WP:NOTNEWS. If some instiution or municipality had some sort of particularly noteworthy solar initiative that was reported in multiple reliable sources beyond trade magazines, it might make more sense to include that sort of thing.

BYU WIR ANI discussion

edit

Hi Oliveleaf4,

I was wondering how you became aware of the topic ban proposal at ANI that you recently !voted in? BilledMammal (talk) 13:48, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello BilledMammal! I am someone who tries to follow the general situation with GLAMs and WiRs. Many people turn to me for advice about how to start editing Wikipedia, and it's pretty common for them not to understand the complicated editorial policies on the site. So I was hoping to be helpful by suggesting that talking things out would be a good idea in this situation. But as always, these online discussions seem to go poorly, and I may have made things worse instead of better. I sure hope we don't have some sort of flame war that results in a WiR getting banned, but this isn't up to me. Oliveleaf4 (talk) 00:34, 19 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
