This is the disambiguation page I created a short time ago. They're both Serbian politicians, from the same city. The only reasonable choices for disambiguation were by year of birth or political party; in this case, I went with the former. I'd have no problem changing it to the latter, if you'd prefer, but "Serbian politician" isn't sufficient. CJCurrie (talk) 05:18, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@CJCurrie: Sorry!!! I'm new here, so I went looking around at bios so I thought that they don't include the birth/death dates in the title. My bad. --Boothsift (talk) 05:19, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Normally, they wouldn't (include the dates). And it's easily corrected ... CJCurrie (talk) 05:20, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Nangi devender reddy

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 Nangi devender reddy 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 real person or group of people that 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 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Regards, SshibumXZ (talk · contribs). 06:22, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SshibumXZ: Why am I notified of this? I only moved the page. --Boothsift (talk) 06:23, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Boothsift, Twinkle, it's a recurring problem. I meant to tag the page for speedy deletion but in the meanwhile you moved the page. Sorry, I guess! Regards, SshibumXZ (talk · contribs). 06:25, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:Boothsift - Welcome to reviewing. You are evidently relatively new to reviewing. If you move a page, and then someone else nominates it for deletion, then the page mover is identified as one of the creators of the page. This happens. Twinkle strikes again. Just ignore the message, unless you actually want to contest the deletion. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:41, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Did you read both versions?

I made three claims:

"Your version talks about magic mushrooms, parallel dimensions, spirits and extraterrestrial entities."

It does. Do you dispute this?

"Your version promotes casual usage of an illegal drug."

It does. Do you dispute this?

"Nobody with a sane mind believes it is less controversial."

Do you think that anyone with a sane mind can believe that magic mushrooms, parallel dimensions, spirits, extraterrestrial entities and promoting the casual usage of illegal drugs is less controversial than not doing it? --Risentheft (talk) 07:02, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jaipur Pink Panthers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anup Kumar (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.)

Colden

Hi Boothsift, I wanted to let you know that I rolled back the disambiguation page Colden which included one of your edits. Your edit was quite correct but there was more, earlier, vandalism that was not fixed by your correction and yet more added after your edit. I reverted back to the last clean version to get rid of it all. Leschnei (talk) 01:48, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Muscovy duck

Having not finished my revisions to the Muscovy duck (main) article yet, I undid your undo, in order to apply the last touches. You may wish to again revert the article, but I would encourage you to check first the article Domestic muscovy duck which contains all of the removed text, with only a few, slight edits. Not to mention, I cross-linked both articles. And thank you, by the way, for identifying my initial edits as "good faith".172.56.42.200 (talk) 00:57, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hatshepsut

I reverted an obvious act of vandalism on the article Hatshepsut. The only change was that the name in the info box was changed back from "Hat" to "Hatshepsut". I do not understand your reason for undoing this. You say that I "messed up the link". What link? --Klausok (talk) 12:08, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Klausok: I actually don't know anymore. Maybe it was a glitch, because it showed the Ancient Egypt link being changed in your edit. It did not show the name being changed at all for me. So, it was weird. I have fixed the name though. --@Boothsift 23:37, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Yongchun dialect

Hi and thank you for your work at AfC. Just letting you know that I've accepted Draft:Yongchun dialect: regional dialects (or subdialects) are presumed notable, provided their existence can be verified. The draft cites what looks like a dissertation dedicated to an aspect of the dialect's grammar (not that there's no requirement for an article's sources to be easily accessible online), and a google search comes up with mentions in Enlgish-language sources as well.

Oh, and one more thing: if a user has resubmitted a draft that you've previously declined, and it looks like it should be declined again, it's usually best to leave that for another reviewer. One advantage of doing so is the appearance of fareness: if the draft is genuinely unsuitable then that verdict will carry greater weight in the eyes of the creator if it's come from more than one editor. – Uanfala (talk) 14:43, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Accidentally undid your reversion

Hi Boothsift! I'm pretty new at anti-vandalism and I accidently tried to revert a change at the same time as you, causing your change to be lost. With the help of Snowycats we were able to fix the mistake to how it was before, but I just wanted to let you know.

Rollback granted

Hi Boothsift. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing!  ~~Swarm~~  {talk}  16:04, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

Hi Boothsift. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Minor user rights can now be accorded on a time limited or probationary period, so do check back at WP:PERM/NPR in case this concerns your application. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encylopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance. so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. ~Swarm~ {talk} 23:38, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

teahouse invites for obvious WP:ORGNAME violations

This is just a little pet peeve of mine, and not a matter of policy. I just think it looks bad to invite someone to the Teahouse when declining their AFC submission when you know you are going to turn right around report them at UAA for their username. It sends a very inconsistent message to the user. I believe there is a button you can click when declining the submission to omit the Teahouse invite. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:03, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Beeblebrox: There is a button, however I tend to leave it checked. This may be the reason why an invitation was sent since I simply forgot to uncheck the button. Anyways, thank you for reminding me. Happy editing --The One and Only Boothsift 00:28, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Girella zebra (Zebrafish)

Hallo Boothsift, I came across this while stub-sorting and I see you had moved it from draft. There were a couple of problems:

1. No need for disambiguated title - it should have replaced the existing redirect to Girella. I've now put in a WP:RM to get it moved to the right title
2. One of the references (no.3 in this version) was the sort of garble which happens easily when you copy something from a website and it picks up much more text than you intended, but either you or the original editor should have spotted it and fixed it. Do you need to slow down a bit on your AFC work, I wonder? Happy Editing. PamD 09:11, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD: Thank you for pointing those out. I agree I should slow down more, since I didn't look at either the title or the references. Maybe it was due to exhaustion? I don't know, but I'll be more careful at AfC now. --The One and Only Boothsift 23:54, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Shaun Yeo

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 Draft:Shaun Yeo 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 cartoons.org.nz/cartoonists/shaun-yeo. 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.

@Beansie813: AfC is an article creating process. The drafts are there so they may be accepted and they become an article after. Your draft was not an article, if you want to know what an article looks like, take a look at the Featured article. So since you submitted it at AfC, that means you wanted it to be an article regardless of your true motives. --The One and Only Boothsift 03:04, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD: Thanks for catching that, I always forget to press unreview. Anyways, it's not my article and I know nothing about the topic, so I'll leave it to the author to add more text :). Happy editing--The One and Only Boothsift 00:15, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request for assistance on AfC submission by The Navigators - Draft Safety sign

Regarding AfC rejection of: Draft:Safety_sign.

I'm appealing this decision due to the following conversations that it was concluded if I could make the improve the article a bit more from the original submission, and put together a split proposal to take non-traffic warning signs from the existing Warning sign article, this would be a suitable article. I feel I have done both of those things.

Links to relevant conversations:

• Said conversation with AngusWOOF
• Continuation of that discussion with AngusWOOF
• Splitting proposal

If there is something else that is wrong, please specify in more detail. Thank you.--The Navigators (talk)-May British Rail Rest in Peace. 04:58, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@The Navigators: You are suggesting a merge/split, that would a good idea. Do you want me to ask AngusWOOF?--The One and Only Boothsift 05:00, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Thank you.--The Navigators (talk)-May British Rail Rest in Peace. 06:15, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@The Navigators: The discussion seems to be idle at the moment.--The One and Only Boothsift 03:33, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Could you clarify which discussion? Our discussion here, the discussion at User:AngusWOOF, or the 'Warning sign' Splitting proposal?--The Navigators (talk)-May British Rail Rest in Peace. 06:11, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@The Navigators: The proposal. I believe that the last edit was in November 2018. --The One and Only Boothsift 06:37, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My last edit to it was when I updated it to have a new link to the archived discussion on 7 January 2019, but some users gave feedback on it since then, between 1 - 7 March 2019. For whatever reason the talk page just doesn't get much attention even with the split discussion notices on it.--The Navigators (talk)-May British Rail Rest in Peace. 09:59, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@The Navigators: Ah, I probably looked at some other discussion on accident. My apologies--The One and Only Boothsift 22:51, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's cool. Is there anything you need me to do while you discuss things with AngusWOOF?--The Navigators (talk)-May British Rail Rest in Peace. 23:36, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No. I was busy, I'll discuss with him later when I have more time. Happy editing --The One and Only Boothsift 00:01, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Assessments

When creating an article, please add class and importance assessments to the Wikiproject template on the talk page. For example, Talk:Lithops otzeniana needed |class=stub|importance=low. Abductive (reasoning) 05:03, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Abductive: I did not create the article and I am not part of WikiProjects Plants nor am I familiar with plants therefore I did not want to add an importance or class in case I mess something up. Cheers--The One and Only Boothsift 05:28, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, but you edited the article and you created the talk page. In any case, have confidence. Any article created these days on a species is going to be Low-importance and probably a Stub. Just guess, that's what we're all doing. Abductive (reasoning) 05:32, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Abductive: Actually, if I did put it in, most likely somebody will come here, telling me all the things I forgot to do or did wrong. This has happened a lot recently for small errors like forgetting to remove some text or putting it in the wrong category. Everyone makes mistakes and I am not perfect, and after a long day, mistakes could become more frequent. Many people also assume I have little knowledge about creating/editing articles and I only revert vandalism and they want to come in and point out everything I did wrong. In fact, I have made 40+ articles, is a new page reviewer, AfC reviewer, and I have worked with talk pages countless times before. This is just a small error on my part. Maybe that sounded harsh, for that I sincerely apologize. Happy editing--The One and Only Boothsift 05:41, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) @Abductive: I'm with Boothsift on this one: I'll create a talk page and add an appropriate project banner or several, but will leave it to those involved in the projects, or those with the confidence (possibly misguided) to be sure that they're assessing appropriately, to evaluate for stub/start etc and for importance. I've got as far as adding "living=yes|listas=Bloggs, Jane" to {{WP Bio}}, but beyond that I don't go. Empty fields are better than incorrectly completed fields. PamD 09:39, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, but I'll say it again. New articles in mature topic fields (basically everything on Wikipedia except breaking news stories) are easy to assess. They are Low-importance, because if they were higher the article would have already been written, and their classes can be guessed by length alone. Instead of templating article talk pages where you are not sure, consider telling the articles' authors on their talk pages to do it. Abductive (reasoning) 12:18, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Abductive: Did someone appoint you to tell me stuff I already know? Take a look at my past contributions please. I'm sorry that I'm human and I forgot to do something once. --The One and Only Boothsift 22:56, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.17

Hello Boothsift,

News

• The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool. This may result in an increase in machine translated articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the {{rough translation}} tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP.

Discussions of interest

• Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
• {{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
• A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
• There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.

Reminders

• NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.

NPP Tools Report

• Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
• copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
• The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

The flying stone!

You will read my answer in the Commons discussion. I am convinced that through this debate (which is going well) we have a seed that can germinate and become something big. You are a member of WikiProject United States so contact the author by showing him the problem and tell him that it is because we love his work that we want to make it known. Thank you for the reward ... --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:01, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My draft

Xiamen Bridge, added more references, that aren't connected to the topic. While you're at it mind also reviewing Jimei Bridge? Woshiyiweizhongguoren (talk) 14:05, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Woshiyiweizhongguoren:  Done I see you made it into an article, that is not really a good idea. I suggest deleting the article and improve the draft then I'll review it and possibly accept it. That way you don't cheat your way out of AfC and it meets community guidelines. If you don't want to, do you wish for me to review your article? --BoothSift 03:20, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I guess the damage has already been done, sorry. I'll make up for this by going through the draft process for my next article Yanwu Bridge instead of creating it directly. You can review my existing articles if you want. Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 10:49, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My submission - Affluentitis

Hi Boothshift,

Thanks for the quick response. I am not at all disappointed. If this term gets used in the future, (who knows?) I hope the origin will be attributed to me.

Keep up the good work.

Regards,

Rshas3 (talk) 02:20, 25 March 2019 (UTC) rshas3[reply]

@Rshas3: Why would the origin be attributed to you? --BoothSift 03:21, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hughesdarren (talk) 06:22, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your quick review :)

Thank you so much for your lightening speed review :) I was still making typo corrections.

"This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner."

I'm new to Wikipedia, so please bear with me.

Can you please help me understand how I did not write the topic from a neutral POV? I simply reported the actual data from the Cook study, and then I included content from both proponents and opponents to the Cook study results. How is me reporting on the data of the study not neutral, and how does it include my opinions (it does not). It does contain opinions from both proponents and opponents of the Cook Study conclusions, but that is the whole point and topic of this article.

Also, none of this content is original research. I have properly cited each and every research point, none of it from me or original on my part.

Honestly, I'm dumbfounded with your characterization of this article being one-sided, considering every single other Wikipedia article on the related subjects I cited is absolutely one-sided and are proponents of the Cook study results. Honestly, you're bursting my bubble that Wikipedia is fair and balanced and really wants new contributors, and I sincerely hope you can divest me of that thought.

Thank you again ConcernedCitizenUSA April 21 2019 22:16

@ConcernedCitizenUSA: It was neutral, however my emphasis was on the encyclopedia part. An article is not a summary of a report, neither should the headings be a question and you don't have to explain what you are going to talk about. Therefore, I was going for that it reads more like an essay than an article. --BoothSift 05:22, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you have been blocked for sockpuppetry, then your article is a violation itself. --BoothSift 05:23, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

First, thank you for your quick response! I'm glad you agree my article is neutral. Your concern is that it reads too much like an essay and you gave examples, so I will read up more on that subject as it relates to Wikipedia and then see how I can make it read less like an essay, and then resubmit it. I appreciate that advice! As for me being blocked for being a sockpuppet, with all due respect, you are mistaken (please recheck that). I was temporarily blocked for being part of an "edit war". I was also briefly investigated for being a sockpuppet but I believe that was already cleared up as someone else trying to impersonate me and get me in trouble. ConcernedCitizenUSA April 21, 2019 10:36PM (PST)

@ConcernedCitizenUSA: My bad--BoothSift 05:45, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ConcernedCitizenUSA was blocked for a routine 3RR violation, that's all. As they note, somebody tried to set them up with a spurious sockpuppet accoount - happily, that effort failed. Acroterion (talk) 22:43, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request templates

FYI, you're supposed to use Template:ESp, Template:EEp and related templates when answering edit requests, not the standard "Done", "Not done", "Partly done" et cetera. The process is somewhat simpler that way. Geolodus (talk) 06:56, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
