Thank you!

Just a quick note of thanks for your NeverUseMobileVersion widget. A small thing, perhaps, but exactly what I've always wanted but didn't know until now existed and couldn't have created myself. May the world shower blessings on your head.—ShelfSkewed Talk 16:15, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Draft:June Werner

Thank you for your comments and guidance. Hopefully my edits address your concerns.

Waakye pronunciation

Thanks for adding IPA in Waakye. In transcriptions linked to Help:IPA/English, usually we don't transcribe secondary stress following primary stress within words, unlike some American dictionaries, as it's not contrastive. Given you used WAH, it seems what you meant to add was /ɑː/, not /æ/. /æ/ is a checked vowel, so it never ends a word (except perhaps in onomatopoeia like baa), and pronunciations in the cited video do sound like /ɑː/ compared to their /æ/, which is shorter and closer to [ɛ] to my ears. Also, /i/ is for unstressed and word-final or prevocalic positions only, and /eɪ/ is represented by ay, not ey, in our H:RESPELL key. I don't hear variants other than /-eɪ/ at least in the first few minutes of the video, but I might be missing something. But these are all minor quibbles and I appreciate your contributions. Feel free to ask me any questions (as I might ask you something about Icelandic!). Nardog (talk) 15:29, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

​Ah, thank you. That Ghanaian accent sounded identical to a short /æ/ to me. They seemed to go back and forth with the endings, with wɑːtʃɑː at 2:45 and wɑːtʃi at 0:32 for example, but that's probably not important. I rarely transcribe English here, will ask someone check my work next time. – Thjarkur (talk) 13:07, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia

Thanks for identifying the source of the material in your edit.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.S Philbrick(Talk) 13:00, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Will do – Thjarkur (talk) 13:07, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Culture of Paraguay

Hi! English is not my native language, so I can have some problems with grammars and more. I think is very short the article, as my intention is tranlating this spanish version Cultura de Paraguay which is longer.

– Willians01100 (talk) 17:52, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

​I have split the section from the main article to Culture of Paraguay, you can now edit that page. You can see your old version by clicking here. I can probably help with the translation, just let me know. If you are able to find some more sources in addition to the ones used by the Spanish Wikipedia, that would of course be good. – Thjarkur (talk) 18:11, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

JavaScript (NeverUseMobileVersion)

Hi, Is your above JavaScript perfectly secure and doesn't cause your account to be compromised? I don't know whether it's secure or not. I want to use it but thinking about safety first. Thank you. Ping me kindly. Empire AS Talk! 16:22, 23 July 2020 (UTC) Empire AS Talk! 06:14, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

​It's never secure to load userscripts from other users because they could change the script later to do any kind of edit on your behalf. I would recommend making a copy of the script in your own userspace, that way you can be sure that it won't be changed. Copy this file over to User:Empire AS/NeverUseMobileVersion.js and then add the text mw.loader.load( "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Empire_AS/NeverUseMobileVersion.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript" ); to your common.js file. Then you're only loading a script you control yourself. As you can see, the script is very short, the only thing it does is change the URL. – Thjarkur (talk) 08:47, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
@Þjarkur:, Thank you. I was really worried about its security. The idea you suggested, I was going to try it before. But I didn't do that, as I was doing it without your permission and in a way, it was stealing. Thank you. Empire AS Talk! 08:54, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
​Everything on Wikipedia (apart from images) is licensed under the Creative Commons license, so you're free to copy and modify anything. Usually you write an attribution notice in the edit summary when copying: "Copying text from X, see that article for attribution history", but this tiny script is marked as CC0 so you don't even have to do that. – Thjarkur (talk) 09:01, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
I've created the pages. But the script doesn't removes m from URL. Instead, it shows yellow-coloured background on some words. It loads URL in this way [1]. Recently, I used this script and then it was finely working and loading desktop site automatically. But now, it doesn't load desktop site. Even if you switch-on the desktop mode. Can you fix it? Have you any script that automatically loads desktop site on mobile? Thank you. Empire AS Talk! 11:10, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
​Your script is correctly set up, but your browser hasn't refreshed its cache yet. Try hitting reload. (The yellow background is something Google adds to its searches, that's not coming from Wikipedia) – Thjarkur (talk) 11:19, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
I've cleared cache, but why still word m remains? But you see that I haven't added "CC0" in js. Is it compulsory? Empire AS Talk! 11:21, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
​Turns out that you need to place the import line at the top of your common.js, then it works. A CC0 notice is not compulsory. – Thjarkur (talk) 11:29, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
Yes, It started working, but I don't know what's difference between top and bottom placing. I thank you for creating such a js that helps mobile users. Empire AS Talk! 11:49, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
​I mean that mw.loader.load( "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Empire_AS/NeverUseMobileVersion.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript" ); needs to come first in common.js, like here. – Thjarkur (talk) 13:35, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
Yes, I understand that, but I didn't understand why it works on the top and not works at bottom. Thank you. Empire AS Talk! 13:41, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
​The reason is that the mobile view doesn't support the "importScript" function, and it just gives up on executing the script after it has encountered a function it doesn't recognize. – Thjarkur (talk) 13:44, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Bruce Kluger page

Hi, Thjarkur -- Thanks for your message. I'm assuming you're taking about the sources listed in References, yes? Can you be a little more specific about which citations need to be more reliable and independent? --Bruce — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruce Kluger (talk • contribs) 17:30, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

More...

Hi again, Þjarkur.

I've read your note a few times and I have a clearer understanding of what you're saying. As a journalist for the past 30 years, I am ultra-careful to make sure that my reporting is objective and verifiable. To that end, I worked very hard to give you citations that were airtight. I'm guessing that you may have a problem with citing my own website as a reference, but the only reason I did that was because the links WITHIN those pages contain links to other third-party sources, and it seemed more economic to do so. If that is the reason my article was taken down, I can try to revise those links and replace them with other third-party citations.

As to writing my own page, I agree in theory with Wikipedia's caution about that; but, again, having been a reporter for so long, I have the experience to write about myself objectively and without bias, just as I would write about anybody. Again, if you could point to areas in which you believe I have failed to be objective, please let me know which ones, and I'll be happy to fix them.

Many thanks. --Bruce — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruce Kluger (talk • contribs) 17:49, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi Þjarkur. Could you please let me know when you'll get back to me regarding my queries yesterday? --Bruce Kluger — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruce Kluger (talk • contribs) 19:22, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

​I have added a comment to your draft. Experience in reporting doesn't translate very well to Wikipedia's esoteric standards, which are to try to summarize only what secondary sources have said. I count two sources that contain some significant coverage of you and the rest seemingly being articles by you or listings (thus not counting towards WP:GNG). Getting a review takes up to 8 weeks, and it does not obviously demonstrate WP:GNG to me. Would highly recommend just improving some already existing articles here instead of trying to get your autobiography through, if you do become notable someone who is not you will eventually write about you here. – Thjarkur (talk) 19:39, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Responding to your comments on 8/2

Hello, Thjarkur --

I went through your 8/2 comments, both the one you wrote to me, and the one you wrote to some other person. I really appreciate the effort you made on to give my article a fair read. Here are my responses:

1) It is my understanding that the References section -- as in all of journalism -- is simply to confirm and substantiate, through a reliable source or sources, information that has been reported. Indeed, when I've written articles over the years for various outlets, my fact-check file takes twice as long to write as the piece itself. For better or worse, I am fastidious about that. Therefore, when I give you a link as a source, it is often just to confirm some fact or facts that I've written in the copy. This is why, in my original draft that you rejected, I felt comfortable submitting material that I'd written about myself because it had already been verified by another publication. To wit: When I wrote in USA Today about my experiences as an editor of Playboy, I trusted that the reader would know that that reporting had already been vigorously fact-checked by the copy department at USA Today, and the piece would never have appeared had my reporting about my Playboy experiences been wrong. However, in my second draft, I replaced most links to my own writing with other sources.

2) You write "this NPR piece contains some coverage which is about a project but not him directly." Correct. I included that link as a verification of a single fact that is reported in the sentence to which the footnote is appended. Does an article have to be completely about me as a central topic in order for it to verify or substantiate the fact that I am reporting?

3) You write: "Several sections are uncited." If you could please tell me which ones, I will be happy to provide citations, rather than have them removed. I did not include any material that I deemed extraneous or trivial.

4) You write that my substantiation to my reporting about my work for the New York Times is "just a link to a piece written by him." Correct. That's because you rejected my citation in my first draft, which pointed the reader to a listing of the nine articles I've written for the Times (here). I suppose I could find all nine pieces on the NYT website, but I think that a long series of nine footnotes would look unsightly, don’t you?

5) I'm sorry to read that you don't believe I am "notable" enough to merit a Wikipedia article. I disagree, of course. In fact, Wikipedia itself mentions me in several of its articles, and it has devoted full articles to projects that I was either a part of or actually helped to create. If you ultimately decide that my article is not worthy of publishing, I'd like to have my name removed from those articles, as it is embarrassing to me that you have deemed the work I have created worthy of including, but not me as a creator.

6) Speaking of which: in your article about John-Michael Tebelak, you mention that after creating his internationally renowned musical "Godspell," he went on to direct a musical called "Ka-Boom." That citation has two glaring errors: 1) your link on that reporting takes the reader to Ka-Boom, which is "Italian children's programming bloc" that John-Michael had nothing to do with, and 2) you've omitted the exclamation point in the title. I know this because I wrote the "Ka-Boom!" that John-Michael directed, and I helped design the logo. See here.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

The early life section was the unsourced section I was referring to. The only thing is that WP:GNG is not clearly demonstrated, in my view, but another reviewer will come along and review it in a few days/weeks. Again, writing an autobiography here is strongy discouraged because none of us are able to be neutral about ourselves, and because editors with a conflict of interest have a tendency to take up a disproportional amount of time of other editors. – Thjarkur (talk) 23:11, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, Þjarkur ...

...it's honestly a pleasure to communicate with someone who is so candid and thorough. That's a rare commodity, these days. Just so you know, I gave a lot of thought to the WP:GNG factor before I sat down to write -- the last thing I wanted to do was take up space with a self-inflated notion of who I am and what I've achieved. But I eventually landed on the idea that (in all objectivity) I've been privileged to be a part of some pretty high-visibility projects over the past 40 years, and I am well known in certain select circles, and have even touched some lives with my work. So that was my motivation. In any case, we'll see what the other reviewer says. Thank you again, and stay safe. Bruce Kluger (talk) 15:06, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Lolli Sourcing

Hi Þjarkur,

I was wondering what you meant by getting reliable sources. I used major publications for information like CNBC, Tech Crunch, Cheddar, Yahoo Finance, and WSJ. I reviewed sources and got information from major publications that had covered Lolli to get notability and verifiability. What would qualify the sources I used as un-reliable?

Best, WaltJsmith (talk) 14:34, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

​Someone else had marked some of the sources as being unreliable, but I had not looked at them myself. Appears some were tagged for being primary sources (press releases) and some for possibly being unreliable cryptocurrency news sites (they do tend to be unreliable). Forbes content marked with "Contributor" is self-published content and is usually bought. But it does seem that several (most?) of the sources tagged as unreliable in the draft are actually usable sources. – Thjarkur (talk) 16:40, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Review question

Hello, I got a notice that my new redirect article Dual-sync monitor was reviewed by you. I'm a fairly new editor and I see how that one might be seen as unnecessary, but I can't figure out where the results of that review actually are, and I've been searching the AfC pages and so on for a while. Could you let me know where I can see this? Thank you!Gravislizard (talk) 15:06, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Yes hello Gravislizard, see here: Wikipedia:New pages patrol. The "review" is nothing more than a checkbox that marks new creations as not being spam, vandalism or otherwise worthy of deletion, also makes pages show up in Google results (Google does however not really index redirects). So I was just marking your redirect as being a good one. I can't say I understand why the system notifies people when their creations are reviewed, since it isn't something that needs the editor's attention. – Thjarkur (talk) 19:49, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Natasha Booth

I saw that you removed my new contribution to Wikipedia about a journalist called Natasha Booth. I am in NO way paid to write articles - which I find offensive. I happened to find Vents Magazine on Google, but this person is a legit journalist in Europe on verified journalism websites. I will create a new article with independent sources from reputable news outlets that this person has worked for. It is a shame that you made these assumptions about me and have just removed the article without discussing this first with me to edit it. I am only trying to add new articles to Wikipedia and I write solely based on objectivity.--Terrysouse (talk) 20:15, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

The remaining source is one we can use, and we currently summarize all the detail it has. Letters from readers are WP:BLPSPS. If other sources have not given attention to this case then that is highly suggestive of it not being worthy of being mentioned in an encyclopedia.

Hi! Can you upload the images for actresses? Eswnav (talk) 14:21, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

​There are very few images that are published under a license that we can use. If you have personally taken an image of an actress then you can go to Commons and upload it there, but if you found it online it's most likely not usable. – Thjarkur (talk) 16:37, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

I not having any images, Can you having Vani Bhojan image. Eswnav (talk) 18:42, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

​Well I have not personally taken any pictures of notable people. What one can sometimes do is check Flickr and search for Creative Commons licensed pictures, but there aren't any of Vani Bhojan – Thjarkur (talk) 19:39, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

NotForgotten Digital Preservation Library page

Dear Þjarkur

Thank you for editing the NotForgotten Digital Preservation Library page. I have been working with John B123 over the last several days who put in the maintenance blocks on the page to correct the writing and make sure it meets standards. As he has now assisted me in getting it right, an independent editor now needs to remove the maintenance comment about advertising (should it be acceptable). As you see below John B123 suggested there isnt a defined process for this, but that I might want to reach out to you as you made some earlier corrections to the page....so here I am requesting you to look at the new edits and remove the maintenance comments if you approve.

Kindest and thanks for what you do!

This is the discussion between John B123 and myself FYI

Dear John

Thanks for reviewing my new page about the NotForgotten Digital Preservation Library - I appreciate your review and the changes.

On the topic of advertising... I have tried (but I’m probably blinded by my own writing) to find and then strip out anything that appears to be viewed as advertising - I have made some efforts this morning to improve it. I have reviewed the guidelines, but still I may be blind. Is there any chance you can identify any areas I need to further improve in this regard? The library aims to have an educational page.

Kindest regards, and thanks for your efforts Liebena (talk) 19:11, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi Liebena. I've made a few minor changes such as removing the numerous inline external links to the organisation's website. (If this is for SEO reasons, then whoever gave you that advice is about 10 years behind the times). The use of words such as "mission" normally occur in press releases not encyclopedic articles, the same applies to the section "The role of the Not Forgotten Library". The adding of INDEX twice to the article further makes me think this article was created for promotion, and again, whoever thought this would help with Google is behind the times. --John B123 (talk) 20:36, 1 September 2020 (UTC) John thanks very much! The library is grateful. Yes - bad advice was taken on board ... Again .. your work is appreciated! Liebena (talk) 21:42, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Dear John we have implemented your suggestions now - no reference to mission or role and tidied some of the words up to steer clear of any advertising tone. Please let us know if there is more we need to wrestle with. kindest Liebena (talk) 22:44, 1 September 2020 (UTC)


Dear John - would you be ok for me to request a review from an editor on my talk page to remove the advertising note on the maintenance template? kindest Liebena (talk)

Hi Liebena. I can't see the harm in that, but I'm not sure that many people would see it? --John B123 (talk) 17:21, 2 September 2020 (UTC) Dear John - Forgive me I am clueless - how do I get the notification to be reviewed and removed if its deemed I have made acceptable changes? Sorry for being dumb here.I read the guidance and it says that only non vested parties should edit it away.

kindest Liebena (talk)

Hi Liebena. I'm not sure there is a defined process as such. You could try asking Þjarkur, who made a few edits on the article previously, to have a look. (I would rather somebody else reviewed it as I have made a few changes in order to improve the article) Regards --John B123 (talk) 21:04, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Liebena (talk) 20:22, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello Liebena (moved your signature to below the block), the article has improved quite a lot but it still reads like a bit like it was written by the company rather than being a hyper-neutral Wikipedia article that just summarizes secondary sources. In particular, it has certain details one usually only sees on company websites such as ISO certifications, policy adherance, "artificial intelligence" and such. Since artificial intelligence tends to be marketing speech, one can usually just say "automated video transcription" instead, which is much clearer in any case. I would even suggest trimming it in half, focusing mainly on what secondary sources have said. But another thing I'd highly recommend would be to just contribute to some other Wikipedia articles for a few weeks, that's really the best way to get a feel for Wikipedia's article structure and hyper-neutral tone. – Thjarkur (talk) 20:37, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Exam proctoring v. Exam invigilator

Thank you for your comment re: exam proctoring v. exam invigilator. They are two different topics. The former is about the practice and process of exam proctoring, which is related to academic misconduct in terms of policy, procedure, and academic misconduct case management. In turn, this is related to higher education governance, management and quality assurance. The latter is about a career choice. It would be inaccurate to conflate them, which is why I have noted at the top of the e-proctoring page that those interested in the career should see the other page.

Edit requests

Just following up on my initial reply at Talk:Solar-powered refrigerator and then at Talk:Solar cooker, I would want my edits at solar cell phone charger, solar charger and water purification reinstated, especially as there were no particular namedrops involved with those edits. Excluding them on the basis of the technologies "not being in widespread use" to me sounds like using WP:DUE as with presenting different viewpoints of a subjective topic, when what the edits do is providing objective, verifiable information on existing technologies on the market.

Envato page feedback

Hi there, just saw your comment on the Envato company page draft. I understand the original Envato wiki page was deleted because it was poorly written, with spammy content and poor referencing. My version was an attempt to improve on these points with cleaner and more accurate writing and with more comprehensive referencing, especially given the last page used too many on-site references to envato dot com and the like. Does that help?Daveoftheinternet (talk) 06:08, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

​The old deletion discussion was mainly about the company not having received much independent coverage, with available sources being PR pieces and press releases. Most of the available coverage still appears to be non-independent, but I haven't looked at it in depth. – Thjarkur (talk) 08:59, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

That's interesting. By my measure, more than 75% of references that I used to write the draft are from independent press and industry publications related to Envato's work. I did a lot of research into their competitors beforehand, and I think that actually compares quite favourably to Creative Market (37%) and Pond5 (53%) though Canva remains a bit of a gold standard it appears, with almost 90% of their sources coming from mainstream and industry press. I'd be interested in your further thoughts once you dive in. Daveoftheinternet (talk) 10:13, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

​The publications themselves are independent, but the coverage in those sources is not always independent (sometimes it's a re-hash press releases, occasionally it's sponsored coverage). I would however personally have guessed that Envato would be notable enough for an article, just because I recall how popular ThemeForest was a few years back. – Thjarkur (talk) 10:25, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Ah I see. I'll have another look and see if there are sponsored posts there, though I did try and prioritise publications with a stronger news background. And yes, I remember seeing some coverage about ThemeForest being in the top Alexa rankings at one point, that was when I first heard of them. Daveoftheinternet (talk) 10:42, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Dear Yash Gawli,

If you can cite references to reliable, independent third-party published sources, you can suggest edits to the articles on their respective Talk pages. Please read about reliable sources here: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources>.

To post a comment, click on "New section" at the top of the Talk page. In the edit view that opens, enter a title for your comment in the narrow blank at the top and post your remarks in the larger blank below. Sign your remarks with 4 tildes ~~~~, without the parens, as the system will convert the tildes into your signature, using either your IP address or your account name if you are logged in, plus the date and time once the comment is saved. Be sure to save your comment by clicking on "Publish" in the lower left.

With more than 6 million articles, it may take some time for one of the volunteer editors to notice your comment and to respond or to make suggested changes to the article. It is highly likely that simply posting on the talk page won't get noticed by enough people, so add the following template which will bring the request to the attention of a broader group of editors: {{request edit}} (including the curly braces).

Thank you for your interest in improving Wikipedia.

Yours sincerely,

Hi. When you remove something, there must be some reason. Removing not notalbe person from the list could be correct but not if they are notable. Please use talk page before you wish to change anything as your action does not feel correct. Camdan (talk) 15:53, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

​I did explain the removal in the edit summary. These people aren't related to the nobility so they're listed on a related page, Danielewicz (surname). – Thjarkur (talk) 14:12, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi again :) Well, I think there is a mess with this surname and on talk page, I suggested that we split this subject on three different art. one about surname and with links to other related pages, then one page for "Danielewicz families" where I will remowe/ split most about the Ostoja Danielewicz and move it art "Ostoja Danielewicz". After ab. year 1800 there was a lot families that took name Danieewicz not being nobility. There was no protection for the name during the time of the Tsar. So if we wish to have art. "Danielewicz families" then we should also add those that are not nobility. In any case, lets see what people write on talk page and what will be the conlusion and after, we can do necessary changes because if we start to change now we will be lost! :) Kind regards, Camdan (talk) 16:24, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Sources issue

Hello Pjarkur I noticed you just moved some of the articles I created to draft for improvement. In the comment you said some of the sources are either sponsored or inauthentic. I probably may not have noticed. Wikipedia articles, as stated by the terms, are subjected to further contributions by Wikipedians. I would have imagined you trying to assist with what you feel should be corrected rather than moving it to draft. Could you kindly add "Replace source" to the citations you feel are questionable in the affected articles. This would help me make adjustments by replacing them with possible sources.

This is an independent contribution to Wikipedia and no third party influence.

Best regards! Fancyajonder (talk) 19:31, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello Fancyajonder, the type of sources used for Integral Money and Emmanuel Somto are ones that usually indicate paid editing, which was why the articles were moved to drafts instead of being improved in mainspace. I find pretty much all of the sources to be questionable because I was not able to verify most of the things they claimed in secondary sources. I was personally not able to find usable sources for these subjects. – Thjarkur (talk) 20:08, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. I probabely must have added information that are not mentioned in the sources atleast maybe not enough. Will have to rewrite it hopefully. Could you specify the sources that are questionable in the other article so i work on them as well. Best regards Fancyajonder (talk) 20:22, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Your additions do reflect the cited sources, so the problem is not on your part. The problem in this case is subjects purchase coverage of themselves in sources, sometimes deliberately printing incorrect information. Here Integral Money says that he was nominated for the Top Naija Music Awards, but if you look up that award there is no mention of Integral Money. There do in fact not appear to be any independent mentions of the subject. It's more or less similar for the sources in your other articles. – Thjarkur (talk) 20:30, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

I find your suggestions really helpful. I will probably make research and replace the highlighted source. Am glad you are stating them this way so i know exactly where to improve. Can you make suggestions on others too? Akeju ,crackydon and emmanuel somto. Learning is a consistent act and am glad i could learn more any day. Fancyajonder (talk) 20:41, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello pj, could you check the draft for Akeju. Have made adjustments and manually reviewed the sources . Best regards Fancyajonder (talk) 14:43, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

​Have reviewed Akeju (singer) and moved back to mainspace. I removed a few sources that were promotional and overstated the importance of events which I could not directly verify. – Thjarkur (talk) 16:43, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Pj.. Will manually review others too and ensure they comply.. Learnt few things from your input. Will keep you posted . Fancyajonder (talk) 16:55, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello pj, trust you are doing great. The two articles ' Crackydonand "integral money" have been manually reviewed. Removed several sources that were questionable and made adjustments especially on the self acclaimed honour and award. Could you check the drafts now. Best regards Fancyajonder (talk) 19:28, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

​The sourcing issue is still the same. Integral Money's sources are indistinguishable from spam, Crackydon's are not much better. Don't you think it's somewhat odd that we don't have a single article here about any of the films Crackydon says he has starred in, or that not a single source has talked about this "Ise Parapo Association Of Malaysia" outside of interviews with Crackydon? – Thjarkur (talk) 21:57, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. For Integral, will look at the best way to replace the sources. Most of the links I saw that wrote about the movies Crackydon featured in are either blog or non reputable websites that's why I didn't include it. Will do more research or just remove the category. Thanks once again Pj. Fancyajonder (talk) 09:39, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello pj, this is an off topic from the article am improving. Lately, have come across some articles with either broken links or dead links. While have tried to replace some I couldn't find sources for several others. Now, my question is, do I have to remove such statement with broken links or which of the tags will be suitable "citation needed" or "Replace broken link"

Kindly explain. Thank you Fancyajonder (talk) 16:01, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

​If you click on the "History" tab and then "Fix dead links", a robot will automatically try to fix dead links. If an archived version doesn't exist, it's still best to preserve the citation and just tag it with {{dead link}}. If you're highly sceptical about a statement, you can tag it with {{additional citation needed}} or {{verification needed}}. Removing citations is usually worse for verifiability, all that matters is that someone in the world could theoretically find the source somewhere in a library. – Thjarkur (talk) 19:49, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Oh I got that now.. Thanks mentor. Smiles Fancyajonder (talk) 20:19, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

@Pjarkur: still waiting for your review. Thanks Fancyajonder (talk) 17:27, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Yes hello Fancyajonder. I am still suspicious of some of these sources, but I have submitted it for review so that someone else comes along and reviews it. You are also free to move it to mainspace yourself, although the article might still be nominated for deletion. – Thjarkur (talk) 17:50, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Pj. Let me keep improving others Fancyajonder (talk) 18:05, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

The draft was sadly declined. This can be really discouraging. However, Will safe time and improve it hopefully. Fancyajonder (talk) 19:22, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Emily VanDerWerff article deleted

I agree that the stub article that someone else submitted was correctly deleted. However, I do believe Emily VanDerWerff meets the criteria of a notable person, as a television critic, author, podcaster, and as one of the better known transgender journalists in the US. If I write a new article with proper independent sources, could it be considered independently of this prior deletion? --Markgbaker (talk) 23:18, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello Markgbaker, the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Emily VanDerWerff mainly centered around whether she had received significant independent coverage or not. If she has received some significant coverage since then, then it is likely that an article will be accepted. What I'd recommend doing is starting the article as a draft (I see someone has already started Draft:Emily VanDerWerff yesterday, which you can expand) and then submit the draft for review. – Thjarkur (talk) 09:57, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

COI editor requests your assistance

Hi there User:Þjarkur and again thank you for your help with the edit on the Public Interest Research Group article. I have just posted a COI edit request on the Environment America page and wanted to see if you had the time and inclination to take a look. It is a revert request involving one of several edits made by an anonymous editor that appear to be vandalism. The other edits were managed by User:DASonnenfeld but he has told me he does not have the time currently to help out. Thanks in advance for any assistance or feedback from you.

original research

The phrase "original research" (OR) is used on Wikipedia to refer to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist. I know this very well but this research is original and every line or paragraph I have written has a proper reliable sources and with proper cite. then how the article is not reliable? please give me a proper reason, this is not about just an article this is about ancient culture.Matsyameena (talk) 16:05, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks so much for the support so far. The name on the subject of this message is what I have been trying to write about. I have no personal relationship with him or his organization.

I came across one of his post online and that caught my attention which made me to go lookup for him and saw a need for him to be on Wikipedia because of his success and achievement so far.

All the information on here are I could get about him so far.

Tariq Mahmud Naim is a Reliable article

Hello there!

I have noticed that, you make the article named Tariq Mahmud Naim for speedy deletion. I respect your work and knowledge. But, the article I created on that person (I do not know personally) is what I think is realiable as all the references on the noted achievements are cited. Please, remove that speedy deletion and mention where more references are need. I will improve that article gradually for sure. As because that person is really popular and has many notable achievements in his country.

Best regards KBM Nikhil (talk) 19:59, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello KBM Nikhil, the article has not been tagged for speedy deletion, instead a deletion discussion has been started. I hadn't noticed that the system didn't notify you of the discussion, usually you get an automatic message but that didn't happen here since it's me who is marked as the page's creator in the edit history. But very well, the discussion is held at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tariq Mahmud Naim and your input there is welcome. – Thjarkur (talk) 20:04, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Merc Versus

Not all of the articles may mention Merc Versus directly, but they mention songs and albums on which he appeared which can be verified through Discogs.

Example: Merc Versus is a member of Bedlam Brethren. Therefore showing interviews where the group members are named confirms such.

Another example: If I show a blog post that lists an album's tracks it is proof that Merc Versus appeared on a published album.

I am the owner of the copyrights to all of the related albums. From Merc Versus to Bedlam Brethren to Planet Boom Bap.

All of the music I used are published works that can be verified by the albums themselves or through associated review articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Concreteshaman (talk • contribs) 12:36, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

​There is still too much content that is not verified in the sources. "He is a founding member" is for example not verified in the CD listing, the "Muncie Event" source does not mention him. Discogs is additionally user-generated.

Binoscopes

Thank you for your comment concerning the title of my new Wikipedia article I'm proposing about "Binoscopes". As a matter of fact, I am the author of four that have been written and published to date about the subject of "Binoscopes". for more information about them...see the following website. >

http://www.telescopenerd.com/about-binoscopes.htm

In regards to your comment..."If accepted, the title should be "binocular astronomical telescope" which is more common." (I could "not" find this "uncommon" term "binocular astronomical telescope" in my internet searches.) Namronpb (talk) 15:42, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

I believe the title of my proposed new Wikipedia article "Binoscopes" to be quite appropriate and is used as the one of the "primary" descriptive names/terms used by amateur astronomers, Amateur Telescope Makers (ATMs) and manufacturers who market and sell "Binoscopes (and there are many). "Binoculars" and "Binocular Telescopes" are all included in the same category as "Binoscope" (plural Binoscopes) as pointed out in Wikitionary: > :binoscope > Etymology - Blend of binocular +‎ telescopeNamronpb (talk) 21:32, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

I consider myself somewhat compelled to write an article about the subject of "binoscopes" to share some of the knowledge I've learned by building and using "binoscopes" over the past 50 years or so. As a result...I'm certain that other Wiki users will be just as interested in my new Wikipedia article about "Binoscopes" as the readers of my books and many articles on the subject of "binoscopes" I've written and had published....Namronpb (talk) 21:32, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you again...and many thanks for your comment(s),

Hello Namronpb, I had noticed your books, but had seen that most manufacturers appeared to use another term, and we try to follow whatever is the most commonly used name. I'm not knowledgeable about astronomy and so I was hoping that another editor would have a look at your draft. I only have one concern about the article and that is that most of the citations are to your own work, which may (again I don't know since I'm not knowledgable about astronomy) place undue emphasis on your work (see WP:SELFCITE). If you know of other books or journal articles about the topic, it would be good to add them. – Thjarkur (talk) 11:04, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank for your kind message and thoughtful comments. Currently...there are "no" other published books on the subject of "Binoscopes" that I know of...only mine. I'm just as happy and even more so to "help promote" the accomplishments of others and their Binoscope projects in my books than I am of my own...

In terms of your comment about my "trimming my references" and "citing myself" in my proposed Wikipedia article about "Binoscopes. I only have "three" (3) references with (3) citations listed...and one of them is "cited" with a reference to Scientific American...Namronpb (talk) 16:41, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

RM for Kaspien

Good morning (to me on CEST!) Þjarkur... You suggested and the hatnotes said that this should be merged.... to be fair to the contributor, the COI us declared. i have absolutely no interest in this company at all, neither financially nor otherwise, never heard of 'em. I can do the merge if you want,but as IP I might need your support or another confirmed user for tidying up loose ends... I can be absolutely neutral on this and make it to WP's usual standards (e.g. that we don't tend to put "Ltd.", "Inc." etc after company names) and all the usual gnoming. I hesitate to do it WP:BOLDly when this seems to have gone around the houses for a month now. 84.236.27.182 (talk) 02:10, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

hhmm, I think this is the usual kerfuffle. AfD recommends a merge but nobody actually ever does the merge. I can take it and do it, but it's all over the place.... obviously WP:NCCORP etc applies and so on, the RM should be speedy close. I think the AfD decisionw as wrong, via WP:N or rather WP:MILL. The user, I did a contributions check, has only ever contributed to Trans World Entertainment and created Kaspien on 17 September. I don't mean to be rude, but by the user's own admission this is essentially a WP:PLUG. I think the AfD decision was wrong, I'd like your opinion. The addition to RM is perhaps WP:FORUMSHOP, but I am sure in good faith (who would not want to promote his or her company?) but wrong place to do it. I'll quite happily merge if that is the consensus, but I'd like a second set of eyes on this please. 84.236.27.182 (talk) 02:29, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
If you're willing to go through with the merge then that would be great. I suppose it wouldn't actually take that much time, but I put it off at the time due to the WP:MILL coverage not being very exciting. Since the AfD nomination included "the old company was probably notable", it was mostly the rebranded company that was up for discussion, but if another AfD were started on the grounds of WP:MILL I can see it ending up being deleted. – Thjarkur (talk) 09:11, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Editing of page Narrative Exposure Therapy

Hi Pjakur, thank you for sending me a message about my first contribution to the Wikipedia. As you notice, I am new here. However, to be honest, I don't think your changes were in all correct. It changed also a bit the meaning as well. Can you tell me or refer to the decision & editing process here? Besides, I found that the language link is missing. Actually my contribution page should replace (the link to) another page which is Narrative Therapy (not Narrative --Exposure-- Therapy). Thank you

Hello SamuelCarleial, yes, if you disagree with my edits then you are free to revert them, the burden would then be on me to start a discussion on the article's talk page, see bold-revert-discuss. You are also free to continue improving the article as it is while addressing the concerns raised by the other editor (which is me in this case). You'll see that the second paragraph of that article was copied from another article, if you feel it is not a correct summary then by all means edit it. I would recommend finding a good secondary source mentioning Vivo / University of Konstanz before including a mention of them there.
I have now updated the language-link between the German Narrative Expositionstherapie and Narrative exposure therapy, which I think was what you were referring to.

Hello Edion Petriti, it would be very helpful if you added sources to the article to show where you got this information from. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, it's very easy or even automatic to add citations if you're citing a webpage, you just need the URL. If there's anything in that article that you can't find in a reliable source, it's best to remove it. Note that citing Albanian sources is also fine.

editing IPCC

Hi, in early 2019 I was updating the article on the IPCC to fix broken links. As I work for the IPCC some people flagged a concern. You moved the article into my personal space for me to work on it there. 18 months later I'm now ready to resume. Can I work on that version that you put in my personal space -- i.e. has that version kept up with other edits made to the article in the meantime? Or do you need to copy the latest version across again? (Sorry I don't know how to do it myself.) Jonathanlynn (talk) 15:06, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello Jonathanlynn, I've updated your copy of User:Jonathanlynn/Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to reflect the current verson of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. If you plan on making significant changes it can be good to work on your userspace version and then use {{request edit}} on the article's talk page to ask someone to implement the changes, but if you are only going to update some broken links then you can directly fix that in the article. – Thjarkur (talk) 17:10, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
Hello Thjarkur and thanks for the quick reply. I'll be starting just with the broken links, and when I'm ready for something more significant I'll do it in my userspace and request edit as you suggest.

I would like to add protection to Paramapatham Because, the owners wants others to not edit the article expect administrator and Wikipedia Staffs

​See Wikipedia's protection policy, pages aren't protected just because the author wants to, almost all of our pages are completely open for editing except for a few that have seen a lot of vandalism. You should also have a look at Wikipedia's guidelines for editors with a conflict of interest. – Thjarkur (talk) 10:52, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

SenseData (talk) 18:50, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello SenseData, I was suggesting that you could request specific changes – waiting for someone who has access to the book to read it and add to the page may not happen any time soon, so the best would be to suggest improvements directly, such as by saying "Please add the following paragraph to the History section: 'bla bla bla bla bla bla (citation: Petty 2019, page 100)'." – Thjarkur (talk) 18:56, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Regarding the Honeygain article.

Hello there!

Thank you very much for your insights regarding the article that I had started to write.

I had just edited the article as indeed, I would agree with you that there were subjective statements there. I had removed them and tried to make the article as objective as possible.

The article itself will not remain neglected, as more references from so-called reliable sources should become available, they will be added to the article.

Regarding possible conflict of interest, I am just a passionate user of this particular service, hence why I had decided to write this article. Notably, I can not provide very objective sources, however, I can see that the product already has a marvelous amount of users and it is safe to assume that more articles will be written about it, as it is truly getting into a limelight of the passive earning audience. This could be illustrated by some articles written for Russian sites and I believe a few Brazilian websites (however, I do not understand neither Russian nor Brazilian, so it would be difficult to use them as references).

Once again, thank you very much for the notes! I truly hope that you would help me to edit the article and make it acceptable. It is my first article in a very long time and I wholeheartedly wish that it works out, especially since this service I had written about is one of my favorite things I had stumbled upon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dancing Raccoon (talk • contribs) 13:19, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello Dancing Raccoon, I did search but wasn't able to find any usable sources that would demonstrate notability (independent coverage in reliable source). They could easily become notable in the future, but they don't appear to yet meet any of the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. – Thjarkur (talk) 13:28, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

No conflict of interest

Thank you for your note, Þjarkur.

I really appreciate that you care about the integrity of Wikipedia, just like me, who has been an avid user of Wikipedia for a long time. I read very carefully what you wrote to me, and respectfully, I want to share with you that my contributions were made after about a day of research I did across the web. I provided detailed references to substantiate the information I provided.

If you have specific points that you would like to discuss or for which further evidence would be appropriate, please let me know, and I would be happy to talk anytime.

Thanks again.

​Sentences such as "multiple successful, mission-driven companies and non-profit organizations that have helped hundreds of millions of people around the world live happier healthier lives ... A recognized thought leader in technology" and most of the content in the article on Sapient Leadership are not really something we tend to see from uninvolved editors. See WP:NEUTRAL. – Thjarkur (talk) 21:36, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your note

Hi Þjarkur,

Thank you for your note, and it is good to reconnect.

As I mentioned, everything that I wrote in these articles is based on the research I conducted, and I took all of my notations from credible secondary sources that were edited by uninvolved editors.

For example, the information that I wrote in the Sapient Leadership article is coming from an article published on Oct. 29 in the Harvard Business Review, available at https://hbr.org/2020/10/what-it-takes-to-lead-through-an-era-of-exponential-change. Please feel free to check it out and you will find the content there.

As to the sentence that you referenced about mission-riven companies and organizations that helped hundreds of millions of people around the world, I took all of the information from these credible sources: World Economic Forum (https://www.weforum.org/agenda/authors/ron-gutman), Stanford Graduate School of Business (https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/insights/ron-gutman-i-am-really-focused-user), and Techonomy (https://techonomy.com/people/ron-gutman/). Feel free to take a quick look.

As you can see, I'm very keen to uphold the values and guidelines of Wikipedia and maintain it as a valuable, credible source of information.

Hope this is helpful, and happy to connect and chat anytime. TotoroAndFriends12 (talk) 00:58, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

NotForgotten Digital Preservation Library page

Dear Þjarkur

A few months ago we discussed the NotForgotten page - prior to reaching out to you - I had been taking steer on the page from your editing colleague John. Once complete he fely that you might be a neutral party to lift the message at the top of the page. You then provided further direction on how we could improve. We have now aggressively edited the page and hope you can take a look at it again for neutrality and length (you had suggested we edit its length). I would appreciate any further steer you have - we are looking to remove the comment box at the top once you are happy.

Kindest regards and thanks for what you do.

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Liebena (talk • contribs) 18:40, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello Liebena, the article is no longer promotional, but the choice of which material to include does still reflect that someone close to the project wrote the page. That will probably be fixed by an uninvolved editor sometime later (which on Wikipedia can mean this week or in 5 years). What would bring the article closer to Wikipedias norms would be if it reflected only what independent reliable sources (not press releases) have said about the subject. It does however appear that few independent sources have written about it yet. – Thjarkur (talk) 20:17, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

No Conflict Of Interest

Hi Mr Þjarkur! Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate the fact that you read and commented on my article plus you care about the integrity of Wikipedia. I read and understand your comment and even learned more using the citations you included. I will like to inform you that my contributions were made after a few days of research with no conflict of interest and that I am not directly or indirectly compensated for these. I am just trying to do my project in school which involves Knowing how Wikipedia works and publishing a few verified articles. I am sorry for misleading you with the nature of my articles, I am a new editor and I don't know too much about the guidelines, I will try my best in the future to abide by the regulations of this platform and I will look forward to more directions in my journey to be one of Wikipedia contributors. Kindly let me know how to improve my article writing skills Sir, I have watched numerous youtube videos and read a lot of online articles to get here. I'm very sure you can also help by telling me the faulty parts of my articles and ways of improving it.

New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello Þjarkur,

A chart of the 2020 New Page Patrol Queue

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.

Proposed deletion

Hi there, I have seen you have proposed the deletion of the Pro Ethical Sports Management page despite the face myself and my boss Michael Pryce, the company CEO, have added links to provide notability.

Could you provide a bit more information as to why you feel like it should be deleted? Is it really causing any harm? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CallumH3236 (talk • contribs) 00:19, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

​As I mentioned, the company has not received any coverage in independent sources, so it's not notable enough to be included in an encyclopedia. – Thjarkur (talk) 00:29, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

What do you mean 'independent sources'? CallumH3236 (talk) 00:30, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Please do not think that User:Meshimeshikoko and User:Yunchang246 are sockpuppets of Wikireverse-ho just because they do similar things

Note: Please do not think I'm another sockpuppet of them who is just using an IP address, because I'm a different person


Nobody did anything. You are just lying to others and wanting people to block non-sockpuppets. Remember a thing is a thing, not a double of a thing, of course.

Removal of Verified Information

Why doesn't Wikipedia allow public domain information, even if it's from a court document which is public info, as a link to verify information? In turn you removed all of the members of H-Town's birthdays. But you allow articles written from random websites to verify info which you can't confirm as true. That doesn't any sense, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Readymade777 (talk • contribs) 13:32, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

​Wikipedia doesn't reprint info from court documents and government databases since subjects should have some expectation of privacy (see WP:BLPPRIMARY) – if someone's birthday hasn't been published in secondary sources or by the subject we omit it. – Thjarkur (talk) 14:02, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
