Archive 2

Hi, I'm Redditaddict69. This is my first talk archive, which has not been in use since October 8, 2018. I start new archives after reaching 60-70k bytes (this one was cut off at 63.9k). You can tell by looking through these archives just how new of a user I was; clearly, since then, I've made my way over the learning curve! :)

Noah Purcell

Hello, I wanted to let you know that I moved your newly created page to Noah Purcell. I highly recommend you read Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons in order to understand Wikipedia's standards in regards to writing about living persons. If I can be of any help, let me know. —Non-Dropframe _talk 22:48, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Noah Purcell

The article Noah Purcell has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Your contributed article, Judge James Robart

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.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Judge James Robart. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – James Robart. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at James Robart – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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 removed 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Dunready (talk) 03:15, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

A tag has been placed on Richard Webb (author) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Nomination of Jane Raybould for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Jane Raybould is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jane Raybould until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:56, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Petoskey, Michigan

I've reverted your addition here a couple times and I wanted to explain why. First off, I'm not trying to pick on you nor am I in any way "dissing" Kilwins chocolate. It's one of the things I miss most about Michigan. However, before you can add a section on corporations based in Petoskey, you need a source discussing corporations based in Petoskey. All you are proffering are sources connected to Kilwins, a chamber of commerce listing for Kilwins, and "some website.com" reviewing Kilwins. You've not shown why it's important to know about this in order to understand the subject of the article, which is the city. Since you haven't shown that, the addition comes off much more as either guidebook or promotional material, and both of those kinds of content are barred by the pillar policy WP:NOT. What would work would be a wide circulation publication discussing the importance of the company to the city; a discussion of largest employers that included them (if applicable) sourced to a government source, or a discussion of tourist oriented businesses, of which Petoskey has many, sourced to the chamber of commerce or the state tourism website. I cannot see a scenario where one non-notable business would merit a section of its own.

A procedural thing, too. You're new and we're glad you are here, but please understand that your edits here will be peer reviewed, and sometimes reverted. Trust me it will happen again. I've been at this almost 7 years now, and some of mine still do. Always, the best way to handle it is to engage in discussion rather than just putting it back. The onus for that discussion is on the editor proposing the new content. Generally discussion should be on the article's talk page, but for new guys, it's usually better to just ask on the editor that reverted you's talk page (geez that's some bad English on my part...sorry). For new folks, it's usually a simple misconception that can be cleared up quickly with very little debate. You go to the article talk page when for example you have sources that disagree about a fact and the interested editors must reach a consensus on how much weight to give the varying sources and how to present the disputed fact in the article. The misconception I think we're dealing with here is a Wikipedia article is a place to discuss what you feel is important about the subject; when in fact, it is a place to present what reliable sources have written that is important about the subject.

Wikipedia is crazy fun. I'm always glad to help; just ask. I work almost exclusively on US subjects, primarily high schools and communities. I'm retired and live out west, but I'm a Great Lakes guy thru and thru. Til I moved here, I never lived more than 50 miles from one or another of them. Born and raised in suburban Chicago; lived most of my life in Kalamazoo. Hollar if I can help, and happy editing. John from Idegon (talk) 00:25, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

No worries. I understand how Wikipedia works–if something doesn't make sense, it's removed. I'm just trying to fix my errors. I'm looking for other things to be put in that category as well (as I did with education). I always try my best to improve articles, and if my revisions don't make sense, I'm usually alerted and then I fix them. I'll work on that for the next twenty to thirty minutes, hopefully finding other companies in that area. If I can't find any in Petoskey specifically, but I can for Emmet County, I'll move the section to the article on the county. (And, P.S., I love Kilwins too, I've been to locations in Arkansas and Florida this year, and I first discovered them back in April in Hot Springs. The nearest one to me is a few hours away and since I'd rather not be that guy that spends his day traveling to get fudge, I always check to see if there's one where I'm going. I did research to find locations, and decided I'd add stuff about it to Wikipedia.) Thanks for your help! Redditaddict69 (talk) 00:39, 12 July 2018 (UTC)Redditaddict69

Adding references can be easy

Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.

Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:

While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
Then click on "Templates".
Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.

Before clicking on Publish changes, check that a References header ==References== is near the end of the article.
And check that {{Reflist}} is directly underneath that header.

7. Click on Publish changes. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.

You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.
Hope this helps, --John from Idegon (talk) 01:55, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

To use this message, place {{subst:User:Shearonink/ref}} on User:talk pages when needed.

comprised of

Hi!

I noticed that you have replaced "comprised of" in many articles, and just want to say Hi. I do a lot of that edit myself, as I'm sure you know, and I like having company. I occasionally run into article owners who think I'm the only person in the English-speaking world who thinks "comprise" is not the best way to say "compose", and it's helpful for those people to see that other editors think it's worth fixing too.

I can see from your contribution history that you're not primarily a copy editor, like me, but you have done a lot of it.

How have you been finding the articles to edit? Manual search? AWB? Do you do other Wikignome stuff too? Bryan Henderson (giraffedata) (talk) 17:28, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed that I used comprised of a lot and you corrected my revisions using that multiple times. I did some reading on your page and realized yeah you’re probably right. What I do is search for articles on Wikipedia containing the phrase “comprised of” or “comprising of” (etc etc) and then do CMD+F (text search on a Mac) with that phrase. It eliminates all of the ones that aren’t “comprised of” such as desks ‘’’comprising’’’ multiple drawers ‘’’of’’’ wood (you get the point). I set the search limit to the max (10,000) manually in the URL and if I find something, I go in and edit it. If I see something like “comprising offices...” which a text search for “comprising of” would show, I replace it with “made up of offices...” to avoid falling for that mistake in the future. It’s quite inefficient, and doesn’t work with more than 10,000, but it’s not bad. You’ll notice I’m not doing as many since I’m on vacation without my computer (using my iPhone at the moment), but I should resume on July 22 when I get back. If that was confusing (which it probably was) I can make it more concise if necessary.

I mainly just do it to help you and other copy editors looking for that phrase occasionally when I’m bored. It saves others time that I’d be spending doing nothing anyways. Redditaddict69 (talk) 22:23, 14 July 2018 (UTC)Redditaddict69

I can give you some pointers to make it easier. I gather you're just typing the two words comprised of in a Wikipedia search box, which gets you all articles that contain the words "comprised" and "of". But if you enclose it in quotation marks ("comprised of"), you'll get just the articles that have that actual phrase in it, which is only a few hundred. The only reason that number is so high is that a lot of articles use the phrase in a quotation. There's a way to filter those out of your search too. In the search box, type insource:"comprised of" . That works because of the hidden sic tag.

Also, if you don't want to remember all this, you can use the convenient links at Wikipedia:Lists_of_common_misspellings/Grammar_and_miscellaneous#C. You might even find other phrases there you'd like to help clean up. Bryan Henderson (giraffedata) (talk) 15:55, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Just got back a few days ago–definitely some helpful tips. Thanks again! I'll continue to remove that phrase when I have time next. Redditaddict69 (talk) 03:39, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Reverse speedy AfD close possible?

Hello. I was one of the editors discussing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Irfan Adelbi, which you've speedily closed as the nominator. While it's your prerogative to withdraw your nomination, policy is to only speedy close the AfD if there is clear consensus for keep. I feel more discussion is merited on this topic, and wanted to ask if it would be possible for you to un-close the AfD and relist, even if you wish to withdraw your vote. Thank you!— Alpha3031 (t • c) 12:08, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

@Alpha3031: You can always renominate it if you strongly feel that it shouldn't be kept or it should be dealt with some other way. The other editors made good points that any olympian is notable, though WP:GNG may override this. If you do renominate it, I'll be one of the first to discuss it. Just let me know when you do. Redditaddict6 9 13:56, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Alpha3031 is correct here. You can't speedy close if other editors have supported deletion (see WP:WITHDRAWN). I've therefore reverted your close. You can strike your nomination or leave a comment to indicate that you've withdrawn the nomination, but the discussion must now continue for at least seven days. – Joe (talk) 15:13, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

friendly advice

Hi, and welcome to the project. I can see that you have dived in with great energy and enthusiasm, and that you are on a steep learning curve. It's OK to WP:BEBOLD, but I hope tha tyou are in the process of slowing down enough to do a more careful job WP:BEFORE bringing longstanding articles to AfD. I can see that you've been cautioned about this before. [1] by User:Bearian, but several of your nominations for deletion and inaccurate, sweeping assertions you have made on articles nominated for others have cost other editors a lot of time and effort. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert Kelleher, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lois Combs Weinberg, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sinking (album). You have the potential to be a great editor, but, as here [2], you've got to learn the rules and policies under which we work.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:02, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

@E.M.Gregory: Yes, I do understand that. Still learning for sure, but I can slow down if necessary. I've been reading through the policies once every two-three days for a few weeks now. Plus, I'm starting school again next week and I won't have much time to resume editing here again. Redditaddict6 9 17:28, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

And if I may add EMG, I still don't know what policy makes a perennial candidate like Kelleher notable. He was also kept due to the party switching and some national coverage, but many people voted for the article to be kept solely because of his perennial status. Is that in WP:NPOL?

No, it's more Harold Stassen. He was a guy who back in the day (FDR's day) ran for President every four years. After the first time, or maybe after the second, there wasn't a WP:SNOWBALL's that chance he would win. Characters like that can have ONGOING, INDEPTH media coverage, essentially novelty or silly season stories, but enough of them that editors see it as passing WP:GNG.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:42, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Alright, well thanks anyways User:E.M.Gregory. I appreciate it, but I see your point. I've made some bad AfD nominations and votes and I'll continue to do my best when I'm not piled with reading and notes this year, haha. Redditaddict6 9 17:55, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

I hope you will. Cheers.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:56, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Can

you explain your relist over this AfD? See WP:RELISTBIAS.Thanks,∯WBG^converse 10:20, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

@Winged Blades of Godric: I don't see any issue at all here. It had been 8 days (more than typical waiting time for a relist) and there was just one response. That's not sufficient. Redditaddict69 ^(talk) ^(contribs) 10:35, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Notwithstanding WP:NOQUORUM, what do you think to be a sufficient response? ∯WBG^converse 10:42, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

@Winged Blades of Godric: I am nearly positive that I haven't ever relisted a discussion where there 3 or more total votes to avoid issues like this. When I do relist, it's because there's little/no votes and there needs to be a higher consensus. You can check my relisting history, other than one time when I incorrectly relisted a discussion for a 3rd time (the relist was broken for that AfD, I saw it on a much older date page) I only ever relist discussions that need more votes. When I said that's not sufficient, I meant the vote tally, not that vote itself. EDIT: It is to my understanding that one vote total is not enough to close a discussion. I'm unsure about 2 votes, but when I see one keep and one delete, I sometimes relist and sometimes add my vote. If I see two deletes/two keeps, I don't bother.

Please refrain from relisting borderline AfDs and read why we don't count noses at an AfD.Weighing the validity of arguments is an essential skill for someone maneuvering over AfDs and absent that, it will lead to problems.And, for the sake of it, this AfD was a clear-cut delete candidate.Thanks,∯WBG^converse 10:50, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

@Winged Blades of Godric: will do. Apologies for the issue Redditaddict69 ^(talk) ^(contribs) 10:57, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

unnecessary relist

Hi there,

would you explain your relisting of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Transparent Complaint Procedure. In my opinion this was totally unnecessary. This is a blatant SPAM and there is absolutely no reason to waste more community time on this. hence i request you to revert your relist and allow an admin to handle this as delete. regards --DBig Xrayᗙ 15:35, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Ok, I saw your reply above to Q by User:Winged Blades of Godric, as i said above, kindly revert your relist. --DBig Xrayᗙ 15:38, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Done. Sorry again about this @DBigXray: @Winged Blades of Godric: Redditaddict69 ^(talk) ^(contribs) 16:40, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind response to my request. regards. --DBig Xrayᗙ 16:43, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Please verify your assertions at AfD

This [3] assertion is wildly incorrect. In the 70s The Globe was the leading regional daily, with reporters covering and based in all of the 6 New England States, in addition to Globe journalists in Washington and a considerable number of foreign correspondents. And here [4] you conflate public transit desegregation with a major school desegregation crisis. Please try harder not to make assertions about subjects with which you are not familiar and until or unless you have done some research. It is becoming disruptive in AfD discussions.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:20, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

WP:BRICKS @E.M.Gregory: Redditaddict69 ^(talk) ^(contribs) 21:13, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

I have tried in previous conversations with you to be kind, and generous, and understanding. Now I asking you to be more careful. Your edits at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kathleen Sullivan Alioto, a page where a series of edits have politely pointed out places where you make ignorant and demonstrably inaccurate assertions about WP policies and guidelines, or about article content, seems to show that you may need to take a break form editing. Or, at least, to slow down.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:22, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

And you're the only one with this complaint. Several others agree with my deletion nominations that you so wildly oppose. Even if I do need to take a break from editing, nowhere in ANY Wikipedia policy does it say you can be that rude. I know that, because I've read every single civil policy. I see you haven't. See WP:DBO, WP:HOSTILE, WP:BRICKS, WP:ATONED, WP:PASSIVE, WP:POVRAILROAD. Maybe even WP:BNTV applies here. I'm heavily crossing into WP:CRUSH territory so I'm gonna stop now @E.M.Gregory:.

Sebastian Osigwe's deleted Wikipedia page

Hi there,

I'm Tolu Olasoji a contributor on Wikipedia and an international football journalist based in Nigeria.

I created Osigwe’s profile off a red link from Nigeria’s U20 team to the Toulon tournament in 2013 as his profile on SC Kriens is dormant.

Earlier in the month, I wrote the few lines and his club history hoping to later include his statistics and more information which were readily available as at the time I did it.

I hadn't been chance to coming back to continue and I was sure of curious football readers not getting half information as this profile doesn't show in the first pages of Google SERP.

This night, though, It was actually a coincidence when I entered to finish off where I left it to see it got deleted a minute after I logged on.

I read all debate on the deletion page and all I noticed there's very little the debaters understood about the goalkeeper.

He's a professional goalie with SC Kriens in the second division of the Swiss League, they got promotion at the end of last season and was crucial to that.

Also, there's been indications in the past that Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr was willing to invite him.

Please, kindly help restore the page so I finish it off as soon as possible.

P.S: I can send in a rough brief about him if required

Best,

Tollexrism (talk) 02:09, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

@Tollexrism: Have you read the WP policies and guidelines – and if so, which one did he pass? Was he notable – and if not, that's why his page was deleted. Redditaddict69 ^(talk) ^(contribs) 02:37, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

format of met area names

If there are other articles that follow the format of Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin, FL metropolitan area, with hyphens instead of en dashes, mismatched comma, and postal code, those woud be worth fixing. Three wrongs does not make it right. Dicklyon (talk) 06:05, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
