Speedy deletion nomination of Category:August 2020 events in New Zealand

A tag has been placed on Category:August 2020 events in New Zealand requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If 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. Liz ^Read!

Joe Biden Impeachment Articles

Hey, I noticed on Impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden you changed the wording to make it seem as there is only one article. I went ahead and reverted it but ping me if you think it should be undone. Thanks Shadowrvn728 (talk) 21:44, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bullet points aren't articles, but the article is being deleted soon so I'm not going to bother trying to correct that.  Nixinova   T   C   22:17, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Shadowrvn728: It is your edit that is in error and you should self-revert. See Talk:Impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden#Number of articles of impeachment. —Anomalocaris (talk) 22:47, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I used AFC as I wanted the page created at a salted title, but I'll just ask at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests I guess.  Nixinova   T   C   22:15, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it's been done.

I must say, your article caused me to look it up on youtube. Some of those examples are pretty creepy.

If you encounter another salted title that you need, let me know. I typically salt titles with extended-confirmed permission, which would have allowed you to create the page because you have the extended-confirmed user right. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:32, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand

Hi Nixinova, I am sorry that I had to revert your edit to Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand (2021). Per Wikipedia policy, we can't cite Twitter posts as primary sources since Twitter "is a social network. As a self-published source, it is considered generally unreliable and should be avoided unless the author is a subject-matter expert or the tweet is used for an uncontroversial self-description. In most cases, Twitter accounts should only be cited if they are verified accounts or if the user's identity is confirmed in some way. Tweets that are not covered by reliable sources are likely to constitute undue weight. Twitter should never be used for third-party claims related to living persons." While Henry Cooke's Tweet is the primary source for the vaccination figures, it has so far not been confirmed by official and media sources. Perhaps, waiting for these sources to publish the figures will be wise. The best article to publish it in is COVID-19 vaccination in New Zealand. Hope this helps and wish you all the best. Andykatib 05:35, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi again, thanks for adding the information about 2 million people in New Zealand being vaccinated to the Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand (2021) article. I have relocated this information to the COVID-19 vaccination in New Zealand page since this deals with the vaccination rollout. The timeline page is primarily for daily cases. Hope this helps and wish you all the best again. Andykatib 09:50, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the article should be moved to "Transmission timeline of..." then to make that clear.  Nixinova   T   C   21:20, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • I understand your point Nixinova. However, the article is titled the way that it is to maintain consistency with similar national timelines of the COVID-19 pandemic. See Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic#Timeline by country. Had a look at some of the other articles such as the Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia and the Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in Texas. Several of them also discuss governmental responses and vaccinations. There doesn't seem to be a lot of consistency for the COVID-19 pandemic articles in Wikipedia. Different countries have their own styles. Part of the reason why I made the NZ timeline articles purely about the transmissions was to avoid duplicating articles such as the New Zealand government response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Template:COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand and Category:COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand will be helpful for identifying the various NZ COVID-19-related articles.

Orphaned non-free images

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Train Valley 2 header.jpg & File:Train Valley 2 screenshot.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 22:16, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It was removed from Train Valley 2 for lacking a correct fair use rationale. Hopefully I have fixed it, using the video game cover rationale. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:44, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, so that was the issue. I was a bit confused as to why a bot removed it and then complained as to why it was unused but I'm not too sure when and where non free images can be used. WP:NFCCP says a lot but isn't too clear, about the cases where they can be used.  Nixinova   T   C   03:49, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Both images had the wrong rationale. I fixed them both. One had to use Template:Non-free use rationale video game cover and the other had to use Template:Non-free use rationale video game screenshot. I didn't know those existed until just today, and I wouldn't have expected a bot to figure out on its own that the templates needed fixing. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:23, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
