Community GAR for Ina Kaplan

Hi Nemoschool, I see you have added a tag for the article Ina Kaplan to be reassessed for GA classing. Usually when someone does this it's due to a long standing conversation regarding the quality of the article, or it is significantly tagged for improvement. Neither of these effect the article in question.

Have you got thoughts on why this would need to be reassessed? The edit summary didn't really give any information as to why the tag was placed. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:15, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reaching out! I was just checking this GA of the day, and it (although extremely well-sourced) struck me as missing a photo and a list/table for stats and awards. It was not my intention to delist this GA. (That's why I used Template:GAR request instead of Template:GAR.) Maybe I was too strict... I'll elaborate on the article talk page, but feel free to take down the tag yourself (after all that's how the system is supposed to work). --Nemoschool (talk) 13:57, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, as nominator and almost sole contributor, I am not really allowed to remove the tag. Images for WP:BLPs work a bit different, as you would have to have a completely free image for which none is currently available. NFCC doesn't apply to living people, as "no free alternative" isn't true - someone could take a picture of them tomorrow. I have a number of GAs (I think 7 or 8) without images, it's not really a sticking point in this way. I'd suggest the best way to deal with mundane issues (or even big ones) would be to start up a topic before starting a discussion on being demoted as they are usually quick fixes, or someone might be happy to work on the article to retain its status. Please do type up any comments on the talk, however. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:59, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA review of Francesco Zirano

Let me see if I completely understand how you conducted this GA review. The article has been waiting for a review since March 2019. At 6:10 today, you added a {{organize section}} tag to the "life" section because you felt it was too long, then about an hour later you quickfailed the GA nomination because the article contains cleanup tags, the sole tag in the article is the one that you yourself added an hour and twenty minutes before? Do you realize how bad your review is? I've looked at your contribution history and see you're very new here, so I'd like to propose that you voluntarily refrain from conducting any further reviews until you become more familiar with how things work around here. RecycledPixels (talk) 17:39, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) - RecycledPixels as above, I saw this due to something similar with an article I previously nominated. I would recommend just re-nominating. A speedy fail for something like this is a bit ridiculous. There are quite a few issues with the article on a quick scan, but not any that should fail it. The life section should probably have subsections, but it's hardly a copyright claim, or contentious information without a source. If you get really stuck without a reviewer, I'll take a look, but it might take me a while to get around to it. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:10, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Respectfully, RecycledPixels my friend, I don't think my review is bad--maybe a little abrupt, but certainly done in good faith and with great caution. WP:GAFAIL: "3. It has, or needs cleanup banners..." is sufficient for quick-failing. If I hadn't placed the tag myself, I would've certainly consider the section needing it.
Also, may I just say that it was not a review per se, just a few lines I wrote to justify the quick-fail. I'd love to do a full review for your resubmitted article (or any other GA nominee), with a or for each of the six GA criteria. But the article as it is currently written, in my humble opinion and after comparing with other B-class articles of the similar topic, does not have a realistic chance of making GA and thus does not deserve of a six-pronged review (especially considering all the GA nominations backlog).
I did not just tag and quick-fail your article and ran away... In the hour after I tagged it, I have been researching how other Roman Catholic saints' pages are organized and searching for free-license pictures. Quick-failing the article, as I stated, was done with caution and brought me no joy. My eventual goal, as is any Wikipedian's, is to get your article eventually to GA! If somehow my intentions seemed malicious or destructive, or I have offended or upset you in anyway, I truly apologize.
And yes, I am a (relative) newbie; which, by the way, does not suggest one way or the other about my grasp in Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. But I do concede that this is the very first time I've been WP:BOLD enough to quick-fail anyone for anything, so I will take your kind advice and be extra extra cautious on similar actions in the near future. --Nemoschool (talk) 20:12, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Logo removal

Hi there, may I ask why you are removing the logos from KF Vëllaznimi and KF Llapi articles? Those are high quality vector logos that you replaced with the previous poorer quality png ones? What is the reason you did that? Kj1595 (talk) 22:28, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reaching out. I replaced the svg files with bot-created low-resolution png files per WP:NFCC#3b (minimal use). The low-res logos are more than enough for identification/commentary within the context of their articles.
It's true that plenty of other articles use non-free svg logos, but not all of them have low-res png equivalents already in the File: namespace. --Nemoschool (talk) 01:58, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Also, WP:LOGO: "Logos uploaded to Wikipedia must be low-resolution and no larger than necessary." --Nemoschool (talk) 02:21, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation. I can reduce the size of the svg file. That isn't a problem. Kj1595 (talk) 21:47, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Great! Make sure to tag them with {{SVG-Logo}} when you are finished!
Just FYI, I have always been opposed to non-free svg logos on Wikipedia (WP:NFCC#3b). In my experience, despite the {{SVG-Logo}} warning tag, many people download and reuse them (for fan posters, T-shirts, etc.) in violation the team/company’s copyright. But there’s really no consensus on this, so I guess I’m on the minority here... —Nemoschool (talk) 04:09, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mustafizur Rahman

Hi. I see you are editing quite sporadically lately, but thought I would try and reach you. Talk:Mustafizur Rahman/GA2 is still open. As an individual reassessment we expect the openiner to close it when they feel it is back up to standard or enough time has passed to get it up to standard. If it is still open in a few weeks I will close it for you. AIRcorn (talk) 21:28, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cite Unseen update

Hello! Thank you for using Cite Unseen. The script recently received a significant update, detailed below.

  • You can now toggle which icons you do or don't want to see. See the configuration section for details. All icons are enabled by default except for the new Green checkmark generally reliable icon (described below).
  • New categorizations/icons:
    • Megaphone Advocacy: Organizations that are engaged in advocacy (anything from political to civil rights to lobbying). Note that an advocacy group can be reliable; this indicator simply serves to note when a source's primary purpose is to advocate for certain positions or policies, which is important to keep in mind when consuming a source.
    • Hand writing Editable: Sites that are editable by the public, such as wikis (Wikipedia, Fandom) or some databases (IMDb, Discogs).
    • Red journal with an X Predatory journals: These sites charge publication fees to authors without checking articles for quality and legitimacy.
    • Perennial source categories: Cite Unseen will mark sources as Green checkmark generally reliable, Exlamation mark in orange triangle marginally reliable, No symbol generally unreliable, Stop hand deprecated, and Black X blacklisted. This is based on Wikipedia's perennial sources list, which reflects community consensus on frequently discussed sources. Sources that have multiple categorizations are marked as Blue question mark varied reliability. Note that Green checkmark generally reliable icons are disabled by default to reduce clutter, but you can enable them through your custom config. A special thanks to Newslinger, whose new Sourceror API provides the perennial sources list in a clean, structured format.
  • With the addition of the new categorizations, the biased source icon has been removed. This category was very broad, and repetitive to the new advocacy and perennial sources categorizations that are more informative.

If you have any feedback, requested features, or domains to add/remove, don't hesitate to bring it up on the script's talk page. Thank you! ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 23:24, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
