Hello, welcome to your New Page Patrol School page! Every person I instruct will have their own page on which I will give them support and tasks for them to complete. Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist. Your NPP School page has been specifically designed according to you and what you have requested instruction in - for that reason, please be as specific as possible when under my instruction, so that I know the best ways to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working).

Make sure you read through Notability as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.

This page will be built up over your time in the Academy, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might just ask a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide diffs to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them. Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page.
 * How to use this page

If both the instructor and student make completing the course curriculum a top priority, it will generally take around a month to go through the entirety of the curriculum. This pace is not required or necessarily expected, but rather is provided in order to give participants an idea of what to expect.

Notability
 PART 1 

When patrolling or reviewing an article, you may often come across articles do not meet the WP:N guidelines, but the editors make the edits in good faith. Please read WP:AGF and do not WP:BITE the new editors.


 * A. Notability is a test guidelines to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article in Wikipedia mainspace. Please read What Wikipedia is not, General Notability Guidelines, Specific Notability Guidelines, Stand-alone list before completing the following tasks.

General notability guidelines
1. In your own words, why it is important to WP:AGF and not WP:BITE new editors.

Answer: Given that Wikipedia can be edited by anyone and that conflicts are settled by consensus, it is indispensable that good faith be assumed. If we start to assume that others have made mistakes/problematic edits in bad faith, we are not contributing to a civilised debate: when both parties to an argument believe that the other is acting in bad faith, they will resort to unsubstantiated or personal accusations. Such arguments do nothing to improve Wikipedia in a constructive manner. Therefore, it is best to assume good faith — even when hard pressed — because in this way we are much more likely to actually correct our and other's mistakes.

When it comes to new editors, assuming good faith and civility are especially important. Newcomers often make mistakes unwittingly. They are unlikely to be familiar with Wikipedia's guidelines. If one were to criticise them harshly ('bite'), they might feel that their contribution to the project is not welcome. Thus, an enthusiastic future contributor would be scared away from Wikipedia. Instead, one should assume good faith, and approach new editors in a friendly and welcoming manner. Of course, it is still necessary to help them correct their mistakes, but that ought to be done in a constructive and beginner-friendly manner. Modussiccandi (talk) 21:27, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. Very well. Cassiopeia(talk) 11:12, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

2. In your own words, how does notability is defined in Wikipedia?

Answer: A topic merits inclusion in Wikipedia if it has received substantial coverage in secondary sources (e.g. books, academic journals, newspapers). The coverage has to come from a source that is not directly connected or affiliated with the topic. For instance, a high school student is not notable because he or she appeared in the school's yearbook. Another important factor is the quality of these sources: they should come from a professional publisher either in print or online. For example, a topic mentioned in the Financial Times may be notable, while a topic mentioned in a blog distributed via social media is not. Modussiccandi (talk) 21:45, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. In Wikipedia, notability means "worthy to be noted" - it is defined as a topic is "presumably" notable for stand-alone article or list if (1) it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject whee by the sources talk "directly" about the subject in depth and in length and not only passing mentioned and (2) it is not excluded under the What WP:Wikipedia is not policy. Cassiopeia(talk) 11:12, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

3. Does a step by step instructions on how to "Change a car tire" considered a notable topic in Wikipedia?

Answer: A step by step instructions on how to "Change a car tire" should not be considered a notable topic on Wikipedia. The reason for this is that Wikipedia is not a manual or textbook; Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia that offers a summary of accepted information on a given notable topic, not instructions for all manners of tasks. 'Car' and 'car tyre', on the other hand, are notable topics and should be covered on Wikipedia in an encyclopaedic fashion. Modussiccandi (talk) 21:45, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. Right as Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a how to manual site.

4. What are the differences between A WP:GNG and a specific notability guidelines? how do we determine which one to use when patrolling an article?

Answer: The general notability guideline (GNG) is Wikipedia's fundamental measuring stick for determining whether a topic is notable. In principle, a topic should meet the GNG in order to be included in Wikipedia. However, in some areas (e.g books, sports, companies) specific notability guidelines (SNG) have been created. Although they derive from the GNG, they are usually easier to meet because they have been designed with a specific set of topics in mind. A topic needs to meet either of GNG or SNG.

When patrolling a new page, I would first check whether the topic meets GNG, since this is the fundamental measuring stick topics should meet. If the topic does not meet GNG, I would see whether there is a SNG for the topic in question. If so, this will then be used for evaluating the topic's notability. The topic can be considered notable, should it meet the SNG. Modussiccandi (talk) 22:12, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. Right. Example: certain subjects would not meet GNG due to the fact that no article talk about them directly in length and in dept such the academics- WP:PROF - who would received few or none independence source talk about them (we would see BBC write an article about car stuck in a tree see here but not the President of Australian National University would be hard to find) Other SGN such as  WP:NCORP and WP:NPOL specify a very strict set of source criteria and requirements respectively. Cassiopeia(talk) 11:12, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Specific notability guidelines
5. If an editor creates an article about "2024 Summer Olympics" in 2019 without providing any sources, is the subject considered not notable and why?

Answer: In principle, it would be possible to create an article about the "2024 Summer Olympics" in 2019 because the event (Summer Olympic Games) is notable and almost certain to take place. These factors override the principle that Wikipedia should not be used to speculate about future events. But, in this case, the topic should be considered not notable. The SNG at WP:EVENT state that articles about future events may be notable if they are verifiable. If no sources are given, the content of the article is not verifiable and therefore not notable per WP:EVENT. Nevertheless, notability could be demonstrated if reliable sources were to be added. Modussiccandi (talk) 00:36, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. It would be a good practice as a reviewer, if you are familiar with the subject, to find sources (3-5 IRS (independent, reliable sources) and add them in to the new page instead of just tagging "unsecured template" into the page. I have done that many times to turn an unsourced article to sourced / notable articles in Wikipedia. 11:12, 21 August 2020 (UTC)


 * B.  Without considered of sources/content policies and review just based on "subject specific notability" (SSN) "alone" for sake of the exercises below,  please answer if the subject meets the SSN guidelines, based on the given content below, and specify under (1) which notability criteria they meet or fail (example - MUSICBI#1 if certain sub set of criteria is applicable) and (2) reasons/explanations.

6. A New York city based 2019 start up software company, specializing in data mining, has just received a USD 200K investor fund.

Answer: The subject is not notable under (1) WP:ORGSIG (2) because no organisation is inherently notable. The specifics (date, place, specialisation, sum of money) are not in themselves markers of notability. Only through reliable sources can it be determined whether this start up is notable. Modussiccandi (talk) 01:30, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. Specified sources is the very important requirement when reviewing a "company/organisation" article for many sources are either not independent (marketing/paid by the company itself) or not reliable (press releases) and etc. Cassiopeia(talk) 11:12, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

7. Nascimento Ferreira who is a Ultimate Fighting Championships fighters with the undefeated mixed martial arts record of 8-0.

Answer: The subject is notable under (1) NMMA#1 (2) because the athlete has fought 8 fights in the Ultimate Fighting Championships, which is a top-tier mixed martial arts league per WP:NMMA. Modussiccandi (talk) 01:30, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Ferreira has fought one time under UFC promotion - see here. (note Dana White Contender Series is not UFC event). WP:NMMA specifies a mixed martial arts fighter needs to have at least 3 fights under tier one promotion (see WP:MMATIER) to meet the NMMA requirements. Each SNG sportman/team specifies its requirements, some required a sport person has competed in certain event such as WP:NCYCLING or certain league such as WP:NBASKETBALL, other require a player played for a "high performance country" such as WP:NRU and etc. I would usually only review review sport person article / or any article of the specified sport/subject which I am familiar with.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 11:12, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

8. A upcoming action drama title "Suleiman the Great" based on the the life of Suleiman the Magnificent, was reported will be in production in December 2020 and to be released on August 2022 in the cinemas.

Answer: The subject is not notable under (1) WP:NFF (2) because as of today, 20 August 2020, the film is not yet in production. WP:NFF states that films that are not confirmed to be in principal photography should not have their own articles. However, information about the film is allowed to be included in the Suleiman the Magnificent article, also per WP:NFF. Modussiccandi (talk) 01:30, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. Good.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 11:12, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

9. A political candidates, without any previous or current political position, who is running for November 2020 election for a Senator position in United States with multiple local newspapers coverage of his candidacy.

Answer: The subject is notable under (1) POLITICIAN#2 because (2) the candidate has been subject of significant local news coverage. Modussiccandi (talk) 01:30, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ . Most politician would have some coverage during their campaign for the position. We would accept the article if the subject has "won" the election but yet to assume the office.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 11:12, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I happened to look at your program and noticed I placed wrong "check". I didnt want you to assume since I had marked a check and you thought the explanation you gave was correct and might not notice my explanations wich is opposite to you answer and you would go on and review WP:NPOL incorectly. Anyhow it was my mistke and my bad. Hope all is well with you.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 08:49, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

10. A singer who self produced his first album in May 2019 and his songs are listed in Spotify.

Answer: The subject is not notable (1) under all criteria of WP:SINGER (2) because the singer has not received any public recognition and is not affiliated with other notable musicians. Modussiccandi (talk) 01:30, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Answer: The subject is notable under (1) NACADEMIC#5 and #8 (2) because he is a chaired professor at a university ( University of Zurich) and because he is the editor in chief of a notable journal (Journal of Economic Psychology). Modussiccandi (talk) 02:08, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Being a professor does not meet WP:NPROF criteria 5. However the subject meets WP:NPROF #1 - see for being highly cited  and #8  as the chief editor of Journal of Economic Psychology .<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 11:12, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Article titles

 * Please read WP:TITLE and answer the questions below


 * 1. Article name "Hannibal Barca" - Does the article name need to be change? and Why? (please explain based on Wikipedia guidelines and name/link the guidelines in your answer)

Hannibal Barca was a Carthaginian general and statesman who is widely considered one of the greatest military commanders in history. His father, Hamilcar Barca, was a leading Carthaginian commander during the First Punic War (264–241 BC).

Answer: The article should be renamed to "Hannibal" because it is more recognisable, natural and more concise (all under WP:CRITERIA). All three sources provided call the subject "Hannibal" and thus it is likely that most English speakers would know this name only. Since his father is normally called "Hamilcar Barca", it is also more natural to call his son "Hannibal" as to avoid confusion between the two. Lastly, the surname is not needed to distinguish the article from others. Modussiccandi (talk) 13:12, 28 August 2020 (UTC)


 * . Under " in Recognizability" WP:CRITERIA - it is because the name "Hannibal" is the most commonly use - see WP:COMMONNAME.

Even though his name is Hannibal Barca, the article title is just taken his first name "Hannibal" as it is most common name which many sources have addressed him - We often heard the phrase "Hannibal Brought Rome To Its Knees". This also apply to subjects known by they nick names - such as professional wrestler CM Punk, whose real name is Phillip Jack Brooks, Roman emperor Caligula whose name is Gaius Caesar or  a special way of addressing  a subject such as Alexander the Great and not "just Alexander" or "Alexander III of Macedon".<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 10:43, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

 * 2. Article name "Magic Johnson". Does the article name need to be change? and Why?(please explain based on Wikipedia guidelines and name/link the guidelines in your answer)

Earvin "Magic" Johnson Jr. (born August 14, 1959) is an American retired professional basketball player and former president of basketball operations of the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played point guard for the Lakers for 13 seasons.

Answer: The article should not be renamed. Even though the subject's official name is Earvin Johnson, "Magic Johnson" is more recognisable, natural and precise (all under WP:CRITERIA). All sources provided call the subject "Magic Johnson" and the Britannica article has this as its article title, which indicates that most people would search for this name. The current name is also more precise since there is another former NBA player called Ervin Johnson. Modussiccandi (talk) 13:21, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Biographies of living persons

 * Please read WP:BLP and answer the questions below.


 * 3. As per the texts below, pls explain the if the content is acceptable of inclusive and why. (please explain based on Wikipedia guidelines and name/link the guidelines in your answer)

Conor Anthony McGregor (born 14 July 1988) is an Irish professional mixed martial artist and boxer. His is a former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight and lightweight champion.

On 15 August 2019, TMZ Sports published a video that appeared to show McGregor punching a man at The Marble Arch Pub in Dublin. The incident happened on 6 April and was originally reported by Irish media, although without the video that showed the attack. Irish police stated in April that they had opened an investigation. McGregor was charged with assault and first appeared in court on 11 October 2019.

In April 2019, McGregor is the father of Terri Murray's son, Clodagh. Murray bedded McGregor in 2017 at his hotel after the Aintree Grand National just four weeks bofore McGregor's girlfriend Dee Devlin gave birth to their son.

Answer: The first paragraph is sourced from a non-reliable source (ref. 1). But since its content is not likely to be challenged, it does not need to be removed immediately per WP:BLPRS. However, better sources should be easy to find for this.

The second paragraph covers material that is likely to be challenged and is likely to attract unverifiable gossip. The first sentence "On 15 August 2019, TMZ Sports published a video ..." is backed up by a source (ref. 2) of doubtful reliability per WP:RSP. In this case, I would allow the sentence to stand because it only states that "TMZ published a video" of the incident and the link leads to said video. The second sentence ("The incident happened on 6 April ...") is unsourced and should be removed per WP:BLPREMOVE. The third sentence ("Irish police stated in April...") is sourced reliably (ref. 3) and is allowed to stand. The final sentence ("McGregor was charged with assault ...") is sourced by three sources of which only one (ref. 5) reliable beyond doubt. On the merits of the ESPN source, I would allow this sentence to be included in the article.

The third paragraph contains material that is likely to be challenged and contains gossip about the subject. There is no source to back up the information; therefore it should be removed without discussion per WP:BLPREMOVE. Also, the word "bedded" is not appropriate for a BLP article per WP:BLPSTYLE. Modussiccandi (talk) 15:00, 30 August 2020 (UTC)


 * ✅ Very good. The content of  Murray case was unsourced and  but also is contentious material.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 10:36, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

 * 4. As per the texts below, pls explain the if the content is acceptable of inclusive and why. (please explain based on Wikipedia guidelines and name/link the guidelines in your answer)

Diana Nyad (née Sneed; born August 22, 1949) is an American author, journalist, motivational speaker, and long-distance swimmer who lives in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. and could be contacted at +0-202-456-6213. Nyad gained national attention in 1975 when she swam around Manhattan (28 mi) and in 1979 when she swam from North Bimini, The Bahamas, to Juno Beach, Florida (102 mi). In 2013, on her fifth attempt and at age 64, she became the first person confirmed to swim from Cuba to Florida without the aid of a shark cage, swimming from Havana to Key West (110 mi).

Answer: The first sentence is sourced from a reliable source (ref. 1), but it includes details about the subject (her address and phone number) which must not be included in Wikipedia for privacy reasons per WP:BLPPRIVACY. These details would need to be deleted. The second sentence ("Nyad gained national attention in 1975...") is not backed up by a source and the information is also not present in reference 2. The claims made in this sentence are likely to be challenged and thus need to be removed if no source can be provided per WP:BLPREMOVE. The third sentence ("In 2013, on her fifth attempt...") is backed up by a reliable source and can be included in the article. Modussiccandi (talk) 20:13, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Answer- Explanation: The image could not be uploaded into Main Page and cannot be used in Wikipedia. Images of two dimensional objects do not generate copyright, which means that the image itself is not under copyright. However, the artwork depicted is very likely to have been published after 1925, in which case it would be under copyright in the US. Modussiccandi (talk) 21:30, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Neutral point of view
P;lease read WP:NPOV and MOS:PUFF. Point out the WP:NPOV words/pharses and rewrite the paragraph on Question 9& 10 from a neutral point of view.


 * 9. She is a brilliant boxer with a rare and exceptional beauty. She turned Pro at the age of 19 after winning one amateur fight on December 14, 2013 where she destroyed her opponent in 20 seconds.

Answer: When writing an article based on reliable sources, it is important to represent each viewpoint about the subject in proportion to its presence in these reliable sources. If we do the opposite by giving undue weight to extreme minority views of fringe aspects of a topic we risk giving a distorted picture of a subject. Consider, for example, the following: An editor writes an article about the fall of the Roman Empire and makes 70% of the article about a fringe theory which claims that the empire fell because of an asteroid impact. Now, if a reader who knows nothing about the topic reads the article, they will think that this is the majority view. In this case, Wikipedia has failed its mission as an encyclopaedia and has caused a misinformation to its reader. Therefore, we must always provide due weight in order to give a verifiable impression of the subject. Modussiccandi (talk) 19:39, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 11. Please read WP:DUE and in your own words, please explain why it is important to provide balance and due weight content in an article.
 * ✅. It is important to provide a balance and due weight in mainstream views to represent all points of view in reliable sources.

No original research

 * Please read WP:OR and WP:NOT and answer the questions below

Answer: Verifiability is on of the central concepts of Wikipedia: every fact in every article must be confirmable by reliable sources. If an editor insert into an article material he or she has researched themselves, the content will no longer be verifiable because it does not originate in a reliable source. This also applies if the research is high-quality since, even in this case, readers cannot reliably verify any of it. Modussiccandi (talk) 16:28, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 12. In your own words, why Wikipedia is not a platform to publish original research?
 * . Not only need to cited by reliable sources but it also need to be independent from the subject.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 10:53, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Answer: Original thought (for example, in the form of an opinion) may under certain circumstances be included in an article. This is possible if the opinion is 1) not the editor's, 2) is clearly identified as such in the text and 3) can be verified through a reliable source. Consider the following example: A politician said in an interview that taxes on wealth are bad for the economy. This viewpoint can be included in an article if it is introduced by a clear statement that this is only an opinion and not a fact, e.g. "politician X said that taxes on wealth are bad for the economy" and not "taxes on wealth are bad for the economy". This should, of course, only be included if a reliable source is provided. Modussiccandi (talk) 16:51, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 13. In your own words, please provide one example with explanation when it is appropriate to insert an original research or an opinion in an article.
 * ✅ There are three known way to do it (1) as per your example - xxx stated that ...... (2) Direct quote (3) verbatim when the content is in the public domain such as Constitution of the United States.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 10:53, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Verifiability

 * Please read WP:V and answer the questions below

Answer: In this case, we cannot change the content form "2" sons to "3" sons. If the "true" information is not backed by up by reliable sources, it does not matter whether it is actually true or not. What counts on Wikipedia is verifiability, the concept that every fact in an article must be found in a reliable source. If the wrong number of sons is found in a large number of "reputable" (reliable, independent) sources, we can include this number in an article. The fact that we know from personal knowledge that the subject has 3 sons is irrelevant in this scenario. The best option might be to avoid information about the subject's sons altogether. Modussiccandi (talk) 17:08, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 15. If the subject has two sons and it is supported by three independent, reliable sources but in reality he has 3 sons. Could we change the content from "2" sons to "3 sons"? and why?

Filtering - Criteria for speedy deletion
 PART 2 


 * We have looked at the requirements needed for a page to meet notable, policy and type of sources to merit a page in Wikipedia in Part 1 (Assignment 1, 2 & 3). In assignment 4, we look at what type of articles need to be filtered out from our system when reviewing a page. There are many criteria of WP:Criteria for speedy deletion. Here we discuss (1) General criteria (G1-G14),  (2) Article criteria (A1-A11) and R2.

 * Pls read WP:COPYVIO, WP:REVDEL, WP:COPYPASTE, WP:DCM and WP:G12 and answer the questions below.

Answer: A page should be nominated for speedy deletion under G12 if there is no other content worth saving. For example, if a page consists only of one paragraph which is copied from a copyrighted source, deletion under G12 could be considered. Revision deletion (REVDEL), on the other hand, may be used to permanently delete one version of page's history. Criterion 1 of WP:CRD allows this process for blatant copyright violations. If a certain revision of a page contains a blatant copyvio, that revision might be permanently removed via REVDEL. However, the rest of the page will remain. The difference, then, between G12 and REVDEL comes down to whether the entire page is deleted or only a certain revision. Modussiccandi (talk) 09:58, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 3. When do we nominated a page for WP:G12 and when do we WP:REVDEL the COPYVIO text?
 * ✅. G12 can also be applied if the big chunk / majority of the content is copyvioed.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 03:31, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Answer: If we copy material from non-free (i.e. material that is not in the public domain or under a CC or GNU licence) sources into Wikipedia without the consent of the copyright holder, we commit a copyright infringement. This even applies if the text is minimally altered. To avoid this, editors should genuinely summarise information form sources in their own words. Modussiccandi (talk) 10:26, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 4. What constitute copyright infringement/violation.
 * ✅. <b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 03:31, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Answer I: From the Theodore Roosevelt article:
 * 5. Why some of the texts found in an article are identical as per its sources and yet they are not considered copyright violation? Please provide three examples.

He bragged about his one small success: "We achieved a victory in getting up a combination to beat the Blaine nominee for temporary chairman... To do this needed a mixture of skill, boldness and energy... to get the different factions to come in... to defeat the common foe."

The text is nearly identical with that of its source (Brands 1997, p. 171) and would therefore count as close paraphrasing of a non-free source. (The book is not in the public domain because it was published in 1997 and not released by its author.) However, the material does not constitute a copyvio because it is a brief quotation and cleary marked as such. Modussiccandi (talk) 10:41, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. well-done. One of the best quotes of Roosevelt "Unless a man is master of his soul, all other kinds of mastery amount to little."<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 03:31, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Answer ii: From the Cyrus the Great article:

"In the first year of the reign of Cyrus, which was the seventieth from the day that our people were removed out of their own land into Babylon, God commiserated the captivity and calamity of these poor people, according as he had foretold to them by Jeremiah the prophet, before the destruction of the city, that after they had served Nebuchadnezzar and his posterity, and after they had undergone that servitude seventy years, he would restore them again to the land of their fathers, and they should build their temple, and enjoy their ancient prosperity. And these things God did afford them ..." [The text goes on for several sentences]

The text is exactly identical with that of its source, Flavius Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews book 11, ch. 1. Although the text is presented as a quotation, it is far too long to fall under the exception for quotations. Nevertheless, it does not constitute a copyvio because the source is in the public domain. (Josephus wrote in the first century AD and is therefore considered in the public domain). Modussiccandi (talk) 11:37, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ well-done.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 04:51, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

... LaLaurie's slaves were observed to be "singularly haggard and wretched;" however, in public appearances LaLaurie was seen to be generally polite to black people and solicitous of her slaves' health.

The part of text in quotation marks is a direct copy of its source (Martineau 1838, p.137). Still, it is not a copyvio because of two reasons: 1) it is a brief quotation presented as such and 2) even if it wasn't presented as a quotation, the text would still not be a copyvio because the source is in the public domain (published in 1838).

 * 6. Why copyright violation needs to be stamped out from Wikipedia and who determined when a violation is lawfully taking place?

Answer: One of Wikipedia's core principles is that its content is free for anyone to use and distribute. If we include material that is under copyright, we compromise Wikipedia's status as freely-redistributable encyclopaedia since copyrighted material may not be redistributed unless the copyright holder agrees to it.

When determining whether content constitutes a copyvio, the deciding factor is the copyright law of the United States. This is because the Wkimedia foundation (and with it, Wikipedia) is based in the US and therefore the law of that country governs Wikipedia's activities. Nonetheless, one should also try to abide by the copyright laws of other countries, even if it is not strictly necessary. Modussiccandi (talk) 15:19, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ Also, copyright infringement violation entails legal implications. Wikipedia takes violation of copyvio "very seriously"


 * 7.

 * 9. Pls read WP:R2 and WP:NPPDRAFT. Please explain when to a new page (NPP article) can be nominated for CSD R2 and what should be considered when doing such move?

Answer: A new page can be nominated for speedy deletion under R2 if it provides a redirect from the mainspace to a different namespace. For example, if it provides a redirect from the main namespace to the User: namespace. There are several exceptions (including Category:, Help: Template:, Portal:). The reason this criterion exists is to separate the mainspace, which is visible to the public, from various behind the scenes operations of Wikipedia. One other thing that should be considered is whether the redirect is to a article that has been moved to the draft space. In that case, the redirect does not qualify for R2. Modussiccandi (talk) 18:47, 10 September 2020 (UTC)


 * ✅ Note on R2 to draft space - We move articles to the draftspace to allow articles to be developed especially potential but unsourced WP:BLP article. Use R2 sparingly as some admins do not like pages to be move to draft page even WP:NPPDRAFT states the move is a safe place for editor to adding necessary sources, they would deems the if the articles are not improved or edit in 6 months, it will be G13.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 05:39, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Copyright violation and paid editors

 * Pls read WP:COI and WP:PAID and answer the following question

Answer: In an ideal world, editors who have a COI will declare it on the user or article talk page. If that isn't the case, they can be spotted by some of the following things: They will focus on editing one specific article, likely the on the subject with which they have a COI. They often have access to self-published primary sources about the subject and will use them in their edits. They will have lots of detailed knowledge about their subject. That being said, they are also likely to violate WP:VERIFY when trying to transfer their knowledge into articles. In addition, they may also have a username which refers to their employer. Modussiccandi (talk) 10:42, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 11. How do we spot a COI/PAID editor?
 * ✅ see more on "Notes" section.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 05:55, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Answer: In the case of an apparent COI, one should try to raise the issue at the editor's talk page and alert them to Wikipedia's policy regarding COI. If this fails, one should take the matter to the COI noticeboard and present all available evidence in the COI discussion. However, this should be done without outing the real-life identity of the editor in question. Regarding the article, we should try to make sure that it adheres to the relevant notability, verifiability and NPOV guidelines. Modussiccandi (talk) 10:51, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 12. What you should do when you review an NPP article and notice the creator is a COI editor?
 * ✅. We also tag the article with COI (Assignment 6).<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 05:55, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Answer: If we suspect that a user is payed for his or her contribution to Wikipedia, a similar process to COI detection applies. We should report the relevant evidence either to ANI or to COI noticeboard but in any case without outing the editor's real words identity. If we only have private information available, it is possible to mail paid-en-wp@wikipedia.org with the info. Regarding the article, we should take extra care in ensuring that notability, verifiability and NPOV are met. Modussiccandi (talk) 10:56, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 13. Please read WP:PAID. What you should do when you review an NPP article and notice the creator is a paid editor?
 * ✅. Note: COI editor needs to disclosed their COI on the article talk page and their user page. We "must" move a COI editor page from new page feed to draft space no matter how many years/edits/page created by the COI editor so the article would be first check by WP:Article for Creation (AfC) reviewer and then by New Page (NPP) reviewer/patroller. If a reviewer has both AfC and NPP reviewer right, then once the article (any article) is accepted in draft space will be automatically bypass New Page review and place in main space. Google will index the page (a few hours to a few days - Wikipedia has no control of when it will be indexed) once the article is accepted by a NPP reveiwer.

(note: dont tag anything other than G11 and G12 in Article for creation). To nominate for CSD, first you need to find a page that fit the criteria. Then click "TW" (Twinkle) on the main menu on the top of the page. A dropdown list will appear. Click "CSD" and choose G11 or G12. For copyvio, you need to provide the web link which the text is copy from (can be more than one web link). Let me know if you need further assistance.

If you havent then kindly do. The other possibility is that there is a lag to record your edits (CSD log). The lag would be ranging from a few hours to a few days. here - 1 is your CSD log.
 * Hist diff - Once you makes an edit, to to the history page of the article and every top of the edit would record you edit you just made and you would provide the hist diff from there. If the article you had made was deleted later, then I would not able to see the hist diff; however, when you nominate a page to be CSD, an related edit is recorded on the editor talk page - see her for example - here in editor talk page or at the editor talk page history log here - 2. There is a record in the All Public log -you also can find the article log if the page is deleted - see example here - 3. I can find the info by giving me the (1) the Article Name (such as you have done above) and (2) the hist diff from the editor talk page history log (so I would know you have nominated the page for CSD).
 * Let me know if you need further assistance. If the above info is not clear since I am i am multilingual but master of none languages, and have mild case of Irlen syndrome which makes reading and writing difficult since I was young which also translate to poor command of languages.

 * Thanks a lot. I believe my CSD log may indeed have a reproduction lag but I guess that's not a problem for this assignment. Thank you also for clearing up the diff requirement; I think I know what to do now and will get back to completing the assignment. Best Modussiccandi (talk) 10:06, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry to contact you before finishing the assignment, but I have a small question I'd like to ask. I've been working on CSD nominations and I've been struggling to find R2 candidates. I tried filtering the feed to only see redirects, but I still have a hard time finding problematic ones. You couldn't give me any advice on how to better detect R2 candidates, could you?

 * I am here to help, so if you have any questions just let me know even you havent finished the assignment. See additional info on R2 Cross-namespace redirects and WP:NPPDRAFT. What you could do is find article (very important to note this) which the subject is notable (say a national elected politician) where by no sources are provided (Note if there is any external links/further reading or refs provided but without inline citation, then pls DO NOT R2 the article). You can find them on New page patrol at New Pages Feed. Here,  R2 is to  move articles from the new page to the draftspace. This is to allow articles to be developed especially potential but unsourced WP:BLP article. Use R2 sparingly as some admins do not like pages to be move to draft page even WP:NPPDRAFT states the move is a safe place for editor to adding necessary sources, they would deems the if the articles are not improved or edit in 6 months, it will be G13. To request for a R2 add R2 template (see -Template:Db-r2) on top of the page. Let me know if you need further help.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 05:34, 13 September 2020 (UTC)


 * This one took me a long time to complete. I'm afraid I made a couple of mistakes when tagging articles for CSD and it's been steep learning curve. Anyway, the assignment is finishes and I'd be happy to hear your feedback. Best Modussiccandi (talk) 13:05, 15 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Dont worries about taking some time to complete, I am more concern about NPPSCHOOL participants give up the program half way, which happens a lot and that same go with WP:CVUA program (a much easy program) which I am also one of the trainers. You are doing very well actually. Btw the way your CSD log has registred all your CSD nominations (R2 is not a CSD) - see Your CSD log here. See my comments above and the "Notes" section below. Let me know if you have any questions or you are ready to move on to the next assignment. stay safe and best.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 05:55, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Notes

G11 (promo) - What constitute a G11? At times it is hard to define. Although if a article is bluntly promote or advertise about the subject then it is a G11. Sometimes, the it is a little subtle and that would be a judgement call. As a rule of thumb, if article about an entertainers (actor/singer/DJ/artist and etc) in dept of how hard they work, how motivated they are, using all the puffery/flowery languages and especially the subject does not meet notability guidelines. For a corporation, we would see they list down all they product/services, their directors/key person in the company, they mission, their client, they are the influencer in their industrial, all the words/phrased to enhance/market the company and no substantial info that is supported by independent reliable sources.

G12 (copyvio) - 

Copyright violation addresses the use of original expression without permission of the holder which is a violation of laws even the credit is given to the source. For articles, the Copyright Law gives the copyright protection to the “original works of authorship fixed in in a tangible medium of expression” in the newspaper, magazine and freelance article at the moment of their creation, for the life of the creator plus 70 years after, and 95 years for corporation publication or 120 years from date of creation, whichever is shorter.

A “fact” is not considered an original work of authorship; but how the ways facts are recorded where the style of the writing, choice and/or arrangement of words are copyrightable. An infringement of copyright is committed when a person uses the “exact words /almost exact words in a consecutive manner” of the author/holder. To note, as a guideline, a few words copies from the original works and an idea of expression such as "weather the storm", 'crossing the Rubicon" "as dead as a doornail" and etc. proper nouns, document/event/treaty/person/title/ names are generally acceptable and so is a direct quote of speech. However, any longer phrases which would be expression in a number of ways are copyright protected. To use one of two short sentences on a large article generally is ok but it will considered infringement if the edit entry is consists of big percentage of the original work and yet for some (such as newspaper/press/journalism that takes their work very seriously - anything more than 4 exact consecutively words would considered copyvio). To avoid copyright infringement, one needs uses his/her own words to convey the source’s information. Paraphrasing could minimize the the copyright violation; however, "threshold" ultimately, court judgement would determined the if copyright violation has been made.

Copyvio for texts or images shared the same notion that it is not a copyvio if the verbatim texts or images are taken from free licence and Public domain sites/specific page/image. Always check the "original source" even if in WikiCommon the editor who upload the image claim taken from a PD site, we need to check the link provided and if the site indicate the image taken from another source, then we check the source. For texts, we need to check the sites if it is a PD, sometimes the disclaimer of PD is not on the page, but on the home page or "about" page or FAQ page. Secondly, for older article (no in NPP Feed), any copyvio texts found, we will revdel it as it is almost always it is not the first versions. If a small amount of verbatim texts found in NPP Feed articles, we would revdel them; but large amount of verbatim texts we will tag G12.

Lastly, here are a few examples where the German car maker Audi was sued for copyright breach.

1. Audi infringed copyright violation over Eminem’s song “Lose Yourself” in their commercial advertising. 

2. Audi was fined US $ 965,000 over copyright infringement for using 10 words from Brian Andreas’s story of “Angel of Mercy” -

''I think I just had a wake-up call, and it was disguised as a car, and it was screaming at me not to get too comfortable and fall asleep and miss my life. (Audi commercial)'' Some people don’t know that there are angels whose only job is to make sure you don’t get too comfortable & fall asleep & miss your life.(Brian Andreas’ print)

Spot COI / PAID COI editors are permitted to edit Wikipedia and create on the affected articles; however, it is "HIGHLY DISCOURAGE/NOT RECOMMENDED as it is very difficult for the COI editors to write the article/input info into the affected article in [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view}}.

1.Use person pronouns and possessives (I, we, my, our) 2.Multiple references to company, financial listings, staff lists, interviews, own publication, press release, blog and with clean references 3.Well written prose 'too perfect to be true' and only with single/2 edits 4.Editors have created multiple company related articles 5.Editors disclosed their COI/PAID in their userpage (not tag with COI disclose), or disclosure when they ask question in WP:Teahouse, WP:Help Desk, WP:AFCHD or receivers' talk pages.

A7/A9/A11 - Credible claim of significance - If the subject content do have such claim, then it is not a A7 even the article at the present stage of the article is not notable. Choose other method. (1) after a WP:BEFORE and found no independent reliable sources to support the notability requirements, then nominated for WP:AFD, or R2 to draft space if no sources are provided (do R2 sparingly). If it is a {[WP:BLP]] without source, then WP:BLPPROD or R2. - see Credible claim of significance

Hope the above help. Note the above does not substitute the Wikipedia links and  reading material I provided.

Filtering - Deletion policy & other alternatives
In assignment 4, we look at articles which fits in WP:Criteria for speedy deletion (CSD) where by the the articles are deleted within a few hours to 24 hours from the time of the nomination. In Assignment 5, we discuss the what actions should be taken for those articles do not fit under the CSD criteria but do not meet relevant criteria for content of the encyclopedia.

Please read WP:PROD,  WP:BLPPROD, WP:MERGE, WP:DRAFTIFY, WP:NPPDRAFT and WP:REDIR, WP:AFD and answer the following questions. (Provide links and hisdiff where they are applied.)

Answer: Often, pages that violate Wikipedia's policies will be eligible for speedy deletion and can be deleted within a short period of time. Because of the strict criteria for speedy deletion (CSD), many pages will not exactly meet these criteria and be ineligible for speedy deletion. If the page in question is nevertheless clearly in breach of Wikipedia's policies, we can propose it for deletion (PRDOD). PRODDING is a good alternative for pages that do not meet CSD but are still obvious candidates for deletion. Modussiccandi (talk) 19:09, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 1. Under what circumstances do we propose deletion (PROD) a page and why do we do that?
 * ✅ We PROD a page when deletion of a page would be uncontroversial, but it does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion. PROD doesn't require discussion; however if someone objected to PROD it can't be used anymore (it can only be used one time only).<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 10:28, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Answer: Before we propose a page for deletion, we should consider whether it meets any of the CSD. If yes, it might be possible to delete the page much quicker than by PRODDING. We also need to check whether the page has already been PRODDED: any given page may only be PRODDED once and it immune to the process thereafter. Also, we must see if the page has been vandalised since sometimes the page can be fixed by reverting problematic edits in the page history.
 * 2. What should we do before we PROD a page? and what should be considered /action during a nomination?

During the nomination one should watch the page in question closely since PROD can be challenged by anybody including the page creator. If the nomination is challenged, one should be prepared to nominate the page for deletion and explain our rationale in a full-length deletion discussion. Modussiccandi (talk) 19:05, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 10:28, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Answer: It it possible to BLPROD a page if it is a biography of a living person and does not contain any sources at all. This process is stricter than a regular PROD and can only be stopped if sources are added. The following examples are alternatives to BLPROD:
 * 3. What is the criteria when nominated a BLPPROD? If we choose not to BLPPROD a page what are the alternatives? (give three examples with explanations)
 * ✅.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 06:54, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

a) Example: A page is an unsourced article about a politician accusing him or her of corruption.

We should not BLPROD this article because it qualifies as an attack page. Attack pages are wholly negative in their content and show now consideration for NPOV. Instead, the page should be speedily deleted under G10.
 * I believe you read the question incorrectly. However, I will reviewed the answer for the question "When we can not BLPPROD a new page?"
 * ✅. If there is a previous version to revert for removing the content, then do so and warning the involved editor. If the content is written by sole editor/creator, then CSD it.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 06:54, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

b) Example: An article about an individual has been vandalised by replacing all its content with offensive, unsourced material.

We should not BLPROD this article because the problem may already be fixed if we revert to the latest, non-vandalised version. In general, one should always if vandalism is the reason for the problem and whether deletion can be prevented b simply reverting.
 * ✅.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 06:54, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

c) Example: A page about a famous athlete is entirely unsourced, but reliable sources can be easily found online.

We should not BLPROD this article because it is possible to find sources and make the article comply with WP:V. A search for sources is always advisable to make sure we do not delete any content that is potentially notable.

Modussiccandi (talk) 19:05, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅}


 * Pls read the question again and answer the questions:

(d) Answer again: A BLP article on a top college athlete about to be drafted to a pro league has no sources.

While BLPROD is possible, draftifying is a good alternative. There will likely be sources available once the player plays in a professional league. Placing the article in draft preserves the content of the article and it can be resubmitted for the mainspace when sources have been added. Modussiccandi (talk) 21:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

(e) Answer again: A BLP article on a notable person from public life (e.g. broadcaster, politician etc.) without sources.

In this case, a BLPROD is possible but would likely be unsuccessful since there will likely be reliable sources available online. As alternatives to BLPROD include placing a maintenance tag in the hope that an editor comes by an adds a source, or moving the article to draft. We may, of course, also add a source ourselves. In the case of Judy Hsu, I chose to BLPROD even though tagging might have been a better option. Modussiccandi (talk) 12:38, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

(f) Answer again: An unsourced BLP article has the shape of a news-report ("John Doe fell off a bridge on the morning of 2 October 2020. Police arrived at the scene an hour after the event.").

This article would violate WP:NOTNEWS. There are several options beside BLROD: 1) CSD A7, though there might be objections because the subject is mentioned in connection with an event, 2) PROD for violating WP:NOTNEWS and 3) AfD for the same reason. Modussiccandi (talk) 16:13, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Answer: Pages which violate Wikipedia's content policies should be considered for deletion. Most often, these articles will violate either WP:N, WP:V and WP:RS, or they will simply not be suitable for inclusion per WP:NOT. Obvious cases for deletion may be eligible for immediate deletion under one or more of the CSD. It that is not the case, one could try to PROD them. If a page is not a clear cut candidate for deletion or if it simply does not meet any CSD, the best option is to nominate it under AFD. A consensus-oriented discussion will then follow.
 * 4. In what circumstances we nominate an AFD and what step should be done prior such action.
 * ✅. Good. The main points are (1) it the article doesn't not meet CSD, PROD or BLP PROD. (2) Do a WP:BEFORE before nominate the article for AfD. CSD and PROD are uncontroversial deletion ; BLPPROD - tag when no sources in BLP article and AfD - a discussion is needed for deletion.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 06:54, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Before we nominate an AFD, it is necessary to make sure the page is actually in breach of Wikipedia's policies and to research well the details of the violation since we will have to argue the case for deletion in the following discussion. Also, it might be possible to improve the article in a way that makes it suitable of inclusion. This should always be considered before moving an AFD. Modussiccandi (talk) 19:33, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * . A WP:BEFORE is needed before nominate a page for AFD. If IRS can be found then add them into the page and mark review if notability can be established. If not then nominte for ADF.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 06:54, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Answer: PROD, BLPPROD and AFD ordinarily last seven full days. Though this need not always be the case. For example, if the consensus is very clear in favour of speedy delete/keep the discussion may be closed early unless it breaks off an ongoing discussion. Conversely, an AFD may be extended if it fails to attract any participants. Modussiccandi (talk) 19:33, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 5 How long do PROD, BLPPROD and AFD last prior it is deleted or decline?
 * ✅.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 06:54, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Answer: If a page was unsuccessfully put forward for BLPROD, it may still be deleted in a different way. The article may still be nominated for a standard PROD and, should this fail, a AFD may also be initiated. Modussiccandi (talk) 22:00, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 6. When a page has been previously BLPROD and was provide a source; however if you still think that article should be deleted, what can you do?
 * ✅. Good.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 06:54, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Answer: First, we need to determine whether the article is a blatant violation of Wikipedia's polices. If yes, we must check whether it meet any of the CSD and nominate accordingly. If the article does not fit any of the narrow CSD, PRODDING is the next best option. Should the article not be an uncontroversial candidate for deletion or if PROD has been declined, the article can be nominated for AFD.Modussiccandi (talk) 14:12, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 7. When do we decide whether an article should be PROD or WP:BLPROD or WP:AFD?
 * You missed WP:BLPROD. If an BLP article is unsourced we may use BLPPROD. If the tag is removed (after having added at least one reliable source) we can still nominate it for PROD or AfD if we believe it doesn't comply with Wikipedia policies. We use AfD if CSD, PROD OR BLPPROD do not apply.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 06:54, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Answer: There are several potential reasons for merging: 1) When two pages exist on the exact same subject, merging them will create one unified page. 2) Several pages contain overlapping bits of information on a subject. They should be merged to make the information efficiently available in one place. 3) Some pages are far too short to be stand-alone articles. It is often wise to merge them into larger, related articles. 4) Some short articles are hard to understand without a lot of context. The context can be provided by merging them into a larger one. Modussiccandi (talk) 09:35, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 8. What are the reasons to WP:Merge a page to another page?
 * ✅. For answer 1 above - (A) Normally the subject is the same but the article name is slightly (such as (1) one article use full name of a person, and the other use only first and last name (2) Same name but one added extra info such as occupation "XXX" vs "XXX (enginer); (B) Events known under several titles - same event but the articles names are slightly different names such as UFC Fight Night: Ortega vs. The Korean Zombie vs. UFC Fight Night 180.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 06:54, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Answer: The following pages may be proposed for conversion into a redirect:
 * 9. List 10 reasons we purpose WP:REDIR.


 * 1) Subjects known under several titles (e.g. Horace, Quintus Horatius Flaccus, Horatius, etc.). One page should be the main article, the other names redirects.
 * 2) Probable typos (e.g. Brittain for Britain, Gana for Ghana).
 * 3) Adjectives for a noun subject (e.g. hateful for hate, political for politics).
 * 4) Alternative spellings (Colonization for Colonisation, Labor for Labour).
 * 5) Less specific names for a subject (Luther for Martin Luther, Obama for Barack Obama).
 * 6) Initialisms (UN for United Nations, NBA for National Basketball Association).
 * 7) Alternative capitalisations (pride and prejudice for Pride and Prejudice).
 * 8) Different attested names for a subject (Great War for World War I, Second Five Year Plan for Great Leap Forward).
 * 9) Plurals (cars for car, political parties for political party).
 * 10) Punctuation or hyphenation issues (German Austrian War for German-Austrian War, Yes. No. for Yes? No?).

 * ✅.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 06:54, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Answer: Some articles, while not being suitable for the mainspace because of content policy issues, will nonetheless be on notable subjects. In that case, moving these articles to the draftspace can be a good option. When articles are converted to drafts, editors have time to improve them and/or add reliable sources until the draft is ready for the mainspace. Modussiccandi (talk) 14:03, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Answer 1: Bibliography of Tirana, nominated with the following rationale:
 * 11. Nominate 5 articles for WP:AFD by using WP:Twinkle and provide explanation of your nomination.

Though the article claims to be a list, it constitutes a violation of WP:NOTBIBLIOGRAPHY. Since most entries in the article contain external links, it also violates WP:LINKFARM, which states that Wikipedia must not host link repositories. Modussiccandi (talk) 11:55, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Answer 2: Becky Prim, nominated with the following rationale:

I PRODDED the article because it is a clear WP:GNG fail. The one source provided is a self-published YouTube video. A Google search reveals lots of coverage on the subject, but none in reliable sources. It also does not meet WP:NFO. The creator has challenged a PROD but I am yet to see any evidence to demonstrate that this film merits inclusion. Modussiccandi (talk) 22:57, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Answer 3: SCP - Secret Laboratory, nominated with the following rationale:

The article does not have any sources. I've done a google check, and there is some coverage of the game on YouTube and Steam. Nothing by way of reliable, independent sources and therefore WP:GNG fail. Modussiccandi (talk) 12:24, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Result is no consensus for sources are added but, to me it is a weak keep for I would refer to see more IRS,5-7 instead of 3.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 09:04, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Answer 4: Brian Hull (impressionist), nominated with the following rationale:

I was about to move the article to draft but I believe it should be deleted instead. The one source provided is the subject YouTube channel. Generally, the subject appears to be simply a YouTuber with a large number of subscribers. A Google search turns up lots of self-published sources but not much by way of reliable sources. This is why I think the article fails WP:GNG, WP:BASIC and WP:ENTERTAINER. Modussiccandi (talk) 18:01, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 09:04, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Answer 5: Seidai Myōjin, nominated with the following rationale:

The source provided a non-reliable website. During my WP:BEFORE, I found a couple of additional sources on the subject: this from Reuters and this from Discover Kyoto. While these are reliable sources, Seidai Myōjin is only mentioned in passing. In general, it appears that he is only ever mentioned in conjunction with the shrine mentioned in the sources. These mentions are not WP:SIGCOV. Modussiccandi (talk) 11:20, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Result is redirect. It is always hard when it comes to sources of the subject could come from local languagues for there might be some onlne or print sources that we would not know of.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 09:04, 4 November 2020 (UTC)


 * 12. Participate in 5 WP:AFD where by you are the first voter of the discussion. Please provide you reason either to delete, keep, redirect or merge.

Answer 1: Barbara De Fina, providing the following rationale for keep:

There is some coverage of her available but none of it reliable, as far as I can tell, which makes her a WP:GNG fail. Regarding WP:PRODUCER, the only criterion she might meet is 3. The question is whether her role on notable films like Goodfellas was big enough to merit the term "co-creator". For Goodfellas the term does not seem warranted since Irwin Winkler is credited in most sources as the producer. But for some other films (e.g. Casino and The Age of Innocence) she acted as the lead producer. In view of this, I think she meets WP:PRODUCER. Modussiccandi (talk) 20:54, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Answer 2: Terry N Phipps, providing the following rationale for delete:

I could not find any reliable sources about the subject. The website which gave him the award is of doubtful notability and has been offline for two years. It seems to have been more of a blog than a source of critical journalism. Fails WP:GNG and WP:POET since the award can hardly be construed as "significant critical attention".

Answer 3: Black Coyote, providing the following rationale for redirect:

I agree with the nominator that the subject fails WP:BASIC. The coverage in the sources provided (at least those I could open) is not substantial and the subject is only mentioned in passing. Overall, it looks like the subject clearly falls within WP:SINGLEEVENT. From the source provided by the nom it emerges the subject did play a role in starting the Wounded Knee Massacre. There should not be a stand-alone article on him but I would think that a redirect to Wounded Knee Massacre is in order. Modussiccandi (talk) 11:28, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ even thought the result was a delete, but I do understand why you vote for a redirect for the subject did play a role in Wounded Knee Massacre, a very significant event of American history.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 09:04, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Answer 4: Johannes of Habsburg-Lorraine, providing the following rationale for delete:

The article is a translation from a French Wikipedia page but all sources provided are non-reliable. I have not found any significant coverage in reliable ones myself. Fails WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. Perhaps it was thought that the subject is notable because he is a descendant of the last emperor of Austria. That, however, is irrelevant for determining the notability of the subject per WP:BIOFAMILY. Modussiccandi (talk) 10:02, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Answer 5: The 60's Generation, providing the following rationale for delete:

The article does not provide any sources. I haven't found any significant coverage in reliable sources either. I don't see a reason why the subject should be considered notable per WP:GNG and WP:NTV. Modussiccandi (talk) 22:16, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Answer 1: Otto Voge, nominated because:
 * 13. Nominate 2 articles for WP:PROD and state your reasons.

No inline citations are provided. The one external link is to a primary source and does nothing to show the subject meets WP:GNG. The subject also does not meet WP:POLITICIAN since his office was not national/international/state level and he was not a "major political figure". Significance is established, so no A7.

Answer 2: Becky Prim, nominated because:

The article is unsourced. A Google search does not reveal any reliable sources on the subject. Apart from the WP:GNG fail, the subject fails all points of WP:NFO. The creator of the film appears not to be notable either. Modussiccandi (talk) 11:14, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Answer 1: Hampton F.C. (founded 1996), moved to draft because:
 * 15.Nominate 2 article for WP:NPPDRAFT and state your reasons.

The subject is potentially notable and several teams in its league have well-sourced articles. Since the article did not have a single inline citation, I chose to move it to the draftspace. Modussiccandi (talk) 13:56, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

The article has no content except for an infobox. It also has no sources. However, the company has a notable product, which is why I'm moving it to the draftspace for improvement. Modussiccandi (talk) 18:32, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Hi, I have finished the assignment. This one was interesting and I definitely learnt a lot while working on it! I'd be happy to hear your feedback. Best Modussiccandi (talk) 11:23, 28 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Good day. See below
 * Q3 - Pls read the question again and re-answer the question from (d), (e) and (f)
 * Q11 and Q12- I will wait until the 7-day PROD / AfD period ended to review them
 * Q12 -(Answer 12-1) - Subject notability is the center of any AfD discussion. SNG does not supersede GNG; however it does come into play to keep an article if the subject passes SNG. Do a WP:BEFORE (a must when AfD) and if you can find IRS (independent, reliable sources) of the subject, then do add them into the article and in AfD or mentioned in the AfD discussion -see here for example here in AfD and here in the article.  By the way THIS is your AfD log. Do bookmark it on your computer.
 * While waiting for the outcome of PROD and AfD, I will post Assignment 6 below since the assignment is not a prerequisite of the Assignment 5. Stay safe and best.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:58, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Q3 second part -"If we choose not to BLPPROD a page what are the alternatives? (give three examples with explanations)" - Besides BLPPROD for an unsourced BLP article, what other alternatives (tag/nominate) we would use if we deem the article should be deleted? (“There's more than one way to skin a cat”). I hope the above would clarify the question.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 09:57, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Tagging
In this assignment we look at tagging pages for problems. There any many tags available in Wikipedia and we will look at some of them here.


 * Please enable HotCat in your "Wikipedia references" - see How to enable/disable HotCat. The tool lists and proposes existing categories for auto-completion.
 * Pls download StubSorter user script. The script is for adding/removing stub tags.
 * Pls download Rater user script. The scripts provides a dialog interface to add, remove, or modify WikiProject banners, including class and importance assessment. Accessible from either the page itself or its talk page. after saving, you have to bypass your browser's cache to see the changes - see instruction at Bypass your cache.
 * Please enable User:Galobtter/Shortdesc helper gadget for editing, adding, and importing short descriptions.

Tagging in the article
Please read WP:TAGGING and answer the questions below. Please provide explanation in your own words and provide hist diff when applicable.

Answer: When an article has one or several problems that need fixing, a tag can be placed on them to alert other editors to these issues. Even though it would be better to fix the problems ourselves, we may not have the time or be able to address them; a tag will encourage other editors to improve the article when they happen to come across it. Tags can also sere as a warning that the content may not yet be up to an encyclopaedaic standard. Modussiccandi (talk) 18:19, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * 1. Why do we place tags on the article?
 * ✅. It is a good practice if we have time and we know how to fix the issue, it would be best to do so instead of tagging.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 10:05, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Answer: Sometimes editors tag articles for problems which are not immediately obvious and do not explain their action on the talk page. This practice is referred to as "drive by tagging" and is seen as unhelpful. While it is not necessary to be a significant contributor to the article, editors should make sure to explain themselves in edit summaries and talk pages. Modussiccandi (talk) 18:30, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * 2. What does "drive by tagging" mean?
 * ✅.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 10:05, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Answer:
 * 3. List down 8 common tagging should be avoided in an article?


 * 1) Placing too many tags. One should not place more than 2 tags to avoid confusion.
 * 2) An article should not have a maintenance tag if it is a blatant violation of policies. In this case, the article should be nominated for deletion.
 * 3) Placing redundant tags: if one uses multiple tags, they should be on different issues.
 * 4) Placing vague tags. When tagging, one should make sure to indicate what exactly the problem is.
 * 5) Unhelpful tags: for example a copy edit tag on an article containing only one sentences. The improvements suggested by tags should be helpful and realistic.
 * 6) Using the wrong tag. For example, using the "unreferenced" tag when there are sources.
 * 7) Removing an NPOV tag without discussion. These tags should always be discussed and only removed after a consensus is reached.
 * 8) Tagging to make a point about an article.

Modussiccandi (talk) 20:52, 3 October 2020 (UTC)


 * ✅ For NPOV - if there is no NPOV discussion in the article talk page and if we could fix the content to be NPOV then once it is done, the editor can remove the tag - example such as removing WP:PUFF words.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 10:05, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Answer: It is appropriate to remove tags only if the problem raised by the tag is resolved. It is not possible to remove a tag if one has a conflict of interest: one should wait for uninvolved editors to make a decision about the tag. In any case, editors should always leave an informative edit summary when they choose to remove a tag. Modussiccandi (talk) 18:36, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * 4. When it is appropriate to remove the tags?

Communication and editor interactions

 * Wikipedia project is a collaboration of many editors, some are experienced and some are new to the Project ad Wikipedia values all constructive editors' contributions alike. Communication in a civil, respectful manner is a vital part in Wikipedia, and it should be welcomed rather than discouraged especially to new editors who are not familiar with Wikipedia guidelines and policies for most new editors find it is a steep learning curve during the first few months of editing articles or creating articles in Wikipedia. Please read Assume good faith, WP:BITE, WP:CIVIL, Etiquette, and welcome template and answer the following questions. Do provide links and hist diff where appropriate.

Communication
Answer: When facing a bad faith user, i. e. one who repeatedly adds disruptive edits or outright vandalism, one should leave a warning message on the user's talk page. If this does not help, one should consider reporting the user to WP:AIV or WP:ANI. In the case of an IP address with such behaviour, it may not be certain whether is always used by the same person. Although it is advisable to place warning templates on their talk page, we can also try finding out more about the location and identity of the IP, and place a tag with this information on their tab page. Eventually, IP can also be reported to the administrators. Modussiccandi (talk) 18:23, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

 * 3. In you own words, provide 10 ways to avoid biting the newcomers.

i.  Answer: Tell them that Wikipedia rarely erases content. When they are frustrated because their edits are reverted or their articles deleted, it may help to know that edits can be restored and articles undeleted. Modussiccandi (talk) 18:52, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Modussiccandi (talk) 21:29, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

i.  Answer: Lying. If an editor lies in an editing dispute or any other discussion, I would try to remain calm and demonstrate the truth with hist diffs.
 * 5. List 5 uncivil behaviors and explain how you would duel with them.
 * ✅. Editor history log/ talk page would reveal some of the editor's behavior.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 10:22, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

ii. Answer: Profanity or name calling. If an editor resorts to foul language in a discussion, I would ask them to stop using this kind of language and remain civil in my own reply to them.
 * ✅. See No WP:Personal Attack guidelines.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 10:22, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

iii. Answer: Unfounded accusations. If an editor were to accuse me of something without any factual basis, I would first make sure that there isn't a misunderstanding and I'd apologise if I did something wrong. In case the editor's accusation is baseless, I would refute the accusation with hist diffs.
 * ✅.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 10:22, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

iv. Answer: Talk page harassment. If an editor keeps posting offensive messages on a user talk page, one should first ask them to stop with a civil message on their own talk page. If this does not help, the user can be reported to WP:ANI.

v.  Answer: Taunting and obvious provocations. If a user makes comments that are clearly intended to provoke an uncivil reaction, I would try not to answer immediately. With some distance, one should post a civil message onto their talk page and ask them not to repeat their actions. Otherwise, it may be best to report them to WP:ANI.

 * Hi, I've got a question about the very last section of this assignment: Is the task to just create an article? I would be happy to do that. Since I'm autoconfirmed, I could just create the article right away without going through AfC. Do you still want me to put an article through AfC? Or is the task to review an article that is currently involved in AfC? Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 22:39, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Assignment 1

 * WP:AGF and not WP:BITE -We should always help the new editors who want to provide good contribution and want to improve Wikipedia even at time they might not know the the Wikipedia guidelines


 * WP:Notability - In Wikipedia, notability means "worthy to be noted" - it is defined as a topic is "presumably" notable for stand-alone article or list if (1) it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject whee by the sources talk "directly" about the subject in depth and in length and not only passing mentioned and (2) it is not excluded under the What WP:Wikipedia is not policy.


 * WP:GNG and SSN - both could be used when reviewing an article.

Assignment 2

 * WP:Sources - Sources needed are significant coverage of published Independent / WP:SECONDARY, reliable sources to verify the content claimed where by the sources talk about the subject in lenght and in depth and not only passing mentioned.

Assignment 3

 * WP:Content Policy - Article needs to adhere to Wikipedia Content Policy in article article title, WP:Biographies of living persons, image and text ( Wikipedia:Image use policy and WP:COPYVIO, WP:NPOV, verifiability


 * WP:COPYVIO - Public domain and note proper nouns are not Copyvio


 * Image use policy - check the original source

Assignment 4

 * WP:CSD - go through the criteria


 * WP:COI / WP:PAID - Self-disclosure by COI/PAID editors is one of the many ways we find out that they are COI/PAID. The different between a COI say an COI editor write about themselves, or friends is that written prose is not that perfect as compared that to a professional writers' (PAID editor). Secondly, if the article is about a company, the prose of the article is written more like a businesslike (business writing). Thirdly, professional paid editor would provide neat citations and only take one or 2 edits to create the article. In addition, professional PAID editors would create multiple different companies article that normal COI editors would not. Do note PAID is a subset of COI and an COI would also a PAID editor such as a small business owner write about their company or a rapper write about their own article in Wikipedia


 * G11 (promo) - What constitute a G11? At times it is hard to define. Although if a article is blantantly promote or advertise about the subject then it is a G11. Sometimes, the it is a little subtle and that would be a judgement call. As a rule of thumb, if article about an entertainers (actor/singer/DJ/artist and etc) in dept of how hard they work, how motivated they are, using all the puffery/flowery languages and especially the subject does not meet notability guidelines. For a corporation, we would see they list down all they product/services, their directors/key person in the company, they mission, their client, they are the influencer in their industrial, all the words/phrased to enhance/market the company and no substantial info that is supported by independent reliable sources. If you look at the this version of Zapp Scooters which you tagged G11, I have to agree with the editor who removed the tag that it is not a G11 and unsourced info can be removed.


 * G12 (copyvio) - Copyright violation addresses the use of original expression without permission of the holder which is a violation of laws even the credit is given to the source. For articles, the Copyright Law gives the copyright protection to the “original works of authorship fixed in in a tangible medium of expression” in the newspaper, magazine and freelance article at the moment of their creation, for the life of the creator plus 70 years after, and 95 years for corporation publication or 120 years from date of creation, whichever is shorter.


 * A7, A9 and A11 - "Claimed of signification"  - As long as the content states a claim of significant in regardless there is no source provided  or the claim might not be true, then A7/A9/A11 does NOT apply. Example: "John Smiths is the US senator who lives in Texas" or " Let's Jump, Let's Dance is ranked #2 in Billboard chart in October 2019" or "DM7-29 is a  U.S. self-propelled artillery gun developed in 2010 capable hitting the target of 500 miles" - all these 3 examples do claim of significant and some of them might not even be true and there have no source, but they do not qualify for A7/A9/A11. The option is either to PROP them or to do a WP:BEFORE or to do a R2, for potential subject,  if it has no source or only primary source provided  and if they fails the WP:BEFORE then AfD them. A7 would be something like "John Smiths is my high school teacher, who have a lot of knowledge of algebra"  or "The Minnesota Valhalla is the heavy metal band from Minnesota. The band makes up of my brother, Alan, my little sister, Mary and two of my mates, Ken and Jesus. We practice every Monday and Friday at our home garage".

Assignment 5

 * WP:NPPDRAFT - do so for articles have no sources or sources that are primary/not independent, such as from their home page, user generated sites or sport databases, club home page for sportspersons. If you would find 3 independent, reliable sources to support the notability of the subject, then please do so and add the source in the article and mark reviewed. It can be tempting for new reviewers to overuse this; it should not be used as a substitute for taking an article to AfD.


 * PROD - (1) When it does not fall under CSD but not controversial deletion with the notion that it will be deleted if the article is AfDed. (2) We can only PROD the article once thus do check the history page to make sure the article has not been PROD before. (3) If the PROD is removed, do not replace it (4) PROD would last for 7 day start from the date of the nomination and will be either deleted or removed of the tag by an uninvolved admin who decides the outcome of the nomination.


 * BLPROD - (1) nominated if only there is no source for article about a living person. (2) BLPPROD can be removed only an reliable is added. (3) Even item 2 has been performed but editor still think it is should be deleted under PROD (1) criteria then a PROD can be tag. (3) if PROD (1) is not applicable and editor could nominate the article for AfD if the subject is not notable.


 * AfD - Nominated articles to AfD if the subject is not notable or fall under Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. A WP:BEFORE should be done prior the nominated. If the article states the nationality of the subject and a local name is provided, do search the local name in said country in Google to look for sources if any (2) Reason / justification based on notability guidelines should be address when nominate AfD or participate in a AfD. (3) Do not AfD if the sources are provided but you can locate/view them due to paywall, print book/article to determined the content claimed as per sources. (4) Request paywall article /print book from WP:RX to view the content (make sure you have you email provided in your preferences page, so the RX editors could send you the article via email). (4) You might want to reconsider to AfD an article if the sources of the article would be found mostly in other languages besides English or your languages you comprehend. For example if an article is about a Russian poet or sportman or actors / singer but the subject has not reach worldwide notability/popularity where by most source could not be found in their country reliable newspapers or books other languages but English. I dont often participate/vote for Indian actors as I dont read any Indian languages.

Assignment 6

 * Taggaing - sue scripts/tools to tag appropriate cat/wikiproject/subsort/issues in the their respectively fields.

Assignment 7
While notability is the most important concept for a reviewer, communication is our most important responsibility. Communication takes a few forms for the NPP reviewer:
 * Many ways to communicate with the editors - focus on the subject not the ediots. Be civil and helpful always.
 * Always using clear and helpful edit summaries while patrolling - While using edit summaries is generally good practice, while doing NPP it's important to take it a step further. For instance, a common occurance will be to find an album by a musician with a page, but a particular album doesn't seem to meet any of the criteria of WP:NALBUM. The normal patrol action here is to redirect the album to the page of the artist. An inadequate edit summary would be "redirecting to artist" or some such. I prefer a more complete summary along the lines of "No indication in article of how album is notable per WP:NALBUMS. Redirecting as an WP:ATD."
 * Edit summaries are not a replacement, however, for real communication. Depending on context this should either be done on the talk page or the user talk page of the editor. This is especially to be done even if the other editor is only communicating through edit summaries. We have a higher obligation to do it right. Doing this proactively is great. Just as frequently it will be more reactive - for most editors who contact you it will be out of confusion or ignorance. However you will get some angry ones as well. In all cases being the calm professional one in the conversation is vital.
 * The final main mode of communication is through the toolset itself. Find a great article? Make sure to leave a comment. See a few articles in a row by a newer user all of which are notable? Leave some wiki love.
 * There are a few essential policies and guidelines when it comes to communication. Please read (or re-read) Assume good faith, WP:BITE, WP:CIVIL, and Etiquette.

Assignment 8

 * Tools - as per listed

Assignment 9

 * Reviewing article - Apply what have learnt from Assignment 1-8 when reviewing article.


 * Paywall site: If the source is from a paywall site, then see help from WP:RX and you need to forward me the print article once WP:RX send it to you via email.


 * Lack of sources : If there is lack of sources, we need to do a WP:BEFORE, then we and add in the sources (at least 3 independent, reliable sources in the article) if we going to mark review.


 * Print sources: I do suggest to avoid any print sources for they are hard to located.


 * Digital sources of foreign languages: If the sources are digital and in foreign languages, then get it translated.


 * Filtering: If you are going to AfD, or PROD then you need to provide reasons of why you are doing do. I would like you to work on different outcomes (some review, some nominated AfD or PROD); however, you still need to do the rest of the requirement such as tagging cats, Wiki Project, subsort (if it is a sub class), send personal messages and etc.


 * Work on subject you are familiar with


 * For any article without source and you would like to review it and accept the article (meet notability requirements) then you need to find the independent sources (at least 3) which would support the content claimed then place inline citation.


 * If you have a hard time to find (say the sources most probably in foreign languages) and it is a potential article, then do a R2.


 * For foreign language sources, use google translate, I do that all the time.


 * If there is a native name provided in the article, and you know which country the subject is from, then google the native name with the associate country in google search such as a Russian subject then Google search on "native name.ru".


 * When reviewing, first pls check if the article fit CSD criteria (do remember to check copyvio), then if the article has no source - do a R2 (I usualy do a R2 for potential article) or tag BLPPROD if it is a BLP or search for the source (I always search for source if I know the subject is notable and add the sources it). For sourced articles, check sources against content claimed. If meet notability guidelines (at least 3 independent, reliable sources needed and check SSN guidelines), then mark review. If the article fails the notability guidelines, then do a PROD if you think if send to AfD will be a definitely delete or nominate AfD for discussion, if you think a discussion should take place.


 * Always check all the sources. Any articles that you not sure if it meets notability guidelines, then left them to other patroller.


 * When reviewing, make sure take your time - always quality over quantity.


 * Creating article - make sure the subject is notable with significant coverage of published Independent / WP:SECONDARY, reliable sources to verify the content claimed where by the sources talk about the subject in length and in depth and not only passing mentioned.

Part 1
1. In your own words, why and how do communicate with the editor and why it is important to WP:AGF and not WP:BITE them?


 * Answer: Wikipedia is a collaborate project which everyone can edit and where decisions are generally made by consensus. It is therefore very important that we communicate well with other editors. There are several ways to communicate on Wikipedia. If we want to communicate directly with a single editor their talk page is the best place to reach them. If the issue is relevant to one particular article, we could write a post on the article talk page and ping the other editor. In general, a good first principle is to leave precise edit summaries so that others know our intentions in making an edit.

Assuming good faith is on of the most important principles in dealing with other editors. Good faith is essential for Wikipedia to work: since the project can be edited by anybody, large numbers of bad faith editors could do serious damage. Thus, we need to make every edit in good faith but also show others that we assume their good faith. If one editors alleges bad faith in others, they are likely to begin questioning his or her good faith in return; this leads to a vicious cycle of mistrust. Not biting the newcomers is closely related to AGF. Most newcomers don't yet know the rules of Wikipedia but most of them simply want to improve the encyclopaedia. When they do make mistakes, experienced editors should never accuse them of bad faith since it is likely they just don't know any better. If we criticise them aggressively/unconstructively, they will be turned off from the project and might stop editing. Thus, it is vital that we treat them in a friendly and constructive manner. Modussiccandi (talk) 23:37, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. Good. Sometimes we can also communicate a particular issues on WP:WikiProject of a specific subject - see here the list of WikiProject WikiProject Council/Directory. We communicate with other editors if we have would like to change/add new Wikipedia guideliens  at WikiProject Council/Directory. We also use Wikipedia talk page to communicate with other editors on certain specific Wikipedia page such as Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol, WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk and  many more.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

'''2. What kind of sources are needed to demonstrate/contribute the notability of the subject? Why it is important?'''


 * Answer: To be included in Wikipedia subjects must be notable. Sources which make a subject notable must have three qualities:


 * Reliable: sources are deemed reliable if they are published by an author/organisation/publisher/website with a good record for accuracy and fact-checking. They must also be sure to represent a reasonable census view, i.e. one that gives due weight to major and large minor views, but little or none to fringe views. Established newspapers and publishing houses will often be the source for such material. But, in principle, any source that has a good editorial process and fact-checking process can be counted as reliable.


 * Independent: sources are deemed independent if they have no connection with the subject (third-party). Independent sources will not be written by someone with financial or personal or any other ties to the subject: family members, spouses, employers, friends, business partners, business owners etc. Naturally, the source should also not be the author of a source. Another way of showing independence is through fair representation: sources that are overly positive about their subjects will not be independent either. What we are looking for is a balanced and disinterested coverage.


 * The coverage of the subject must be significant: significant coverage addresses the subject in some detail. Mentions in passing or mere listings are not enough to meet this criterion. This is to ensure that the subject has actually received enough attention to merit a stand-alone article. What we want to avoid is trivial mention like: "Hundreds of people showed up to the concert, including [subject]."

All three qualities must be present to make a source count towards a subject's notability. Modussiccandi (talk) 23:37, 6 November 2020 (UTC)


 * ✅. Good.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

'''3.What constitutes a WP:COPYVIO? and why it is not a copyvio even the texts are identical the same as per sources?'''


 * Answer: We are dealing with a copyright violation if content (mostly text but it can also be media) is copied from a copyrighted source. All sources are considered under copyright unless they have been explicitly been made available for redistribution (e.g. under a cc licence ) or if they are in the public domain. Close paraphrasing of a source also falls under this rule. One of Wikipedia's important features is that its content is free to be redistributed by anyone. To be sure that no laws are broken, we must make sure that no copyright violations remain on the project.

In some cases, identical content need not constitute a copyright violation. Examples of this include brief quotations from copyrighted sources that are clearly marked as such and text from sources with expired copyright, e.g. books published before 1925. Another source of permissible identical text are copies from Wikipedia itself: since Wikipedia is a much-read source, many website chose to copy content from the project onto their site. Modussiccandi (talk) 00:08, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. Identical content is also allowed if it is copied from a public domain site.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

4. What should we do when we encounter WP:COPYVIO article and what should we place on the COPYVIO editor's talk page?


 * Answer: When we encounter an article with copyvio issues, there are two distinct scenarios. One scenario is an article that is completely or overwhelmingly made up of copyvio material. We then have to check if there is a "clean" version in the page history to revert back to. If there isn't, we should nominate the page for speedy deletion under G12. The other scenario is when only a part of the article is affected by copyvio issues. In this case we should remove only the content in question. The ideal way of doing this is to look in the page history. Perhaps, if the damage was added recently, we can revert. Alternatively, if the violation is blatant, we can apply for WP:REVDEL for the versions that added the copyvio content. In both cases, we need to place a warning message on the editor's talk page. One way to do this is the template.
 * ✅.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

5. What should we do when we encounter WP:PAID article and what should we place on the PAID editor's talk page?


 * Answer: Editors who are compensated for making edits on Wikipedia must disclose the details of their engagement to comply with our policy in conflicts of interest. If we believe that an editor has not disclosed his status as a paid editor, we should raise this in a civil way on their talk page. Should this not resolve the problem, the editor can be reported at WP:COIN or WP:ANI. The article itself should be tagged with a tag indicating that a contributor might be an undisclosed paid editor. Modussiccandi (talk) 13:54, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * . We should also place a WP:PAID in editor's talk page and get them to disclosed the PIAD on their user page and article talk page. In addition, if a PAID article has yet to gone through WP:AfC (Article for creation) process, then we MUST move the page to draft space. PAID article needs to go through first AFC review then NPP review prior it can be made in main space.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

6. When do we nominated a page for WP:G12 and when do we WP:REVDEL the COPYVIO text?


 * Answer: Speedy deletion under G12 is appropriate when a page and its history are irrevocably corrupted with copyvio text. If there is still clean version to revert to, this should be preferred. If we want to REVDEL, the target must be a specific version of the page history that constitutes a blatant copyright violation. In summary, G12 will erase the entire page and its history, while REVDEL will target only a specific version of the page. Modussiccandi (talk) 13:54, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

'''7. What constitute an article is a WP:PROMO page? and what should do do when we encounter one?'''


 * Answer: Some articles are written exclusively to promote a product, an organisation, a person, a viewpoint etc. These articles will be written only in positive terms. They will not respect Wikipedia's NPOV requirements. They might contain puff language and may often be sourced from non-independent sources. In many cases, these pages will not meet the project's notability requirements. If it is possible to re-write the article in a manner that complies with Wikipedia's policies on NPOV, that is our first option. Otherwise, we nominate for speedy deletion under G11. Modussiccandi (talk) 13:54, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * . In regardless the subject is notable or not, if the page is written like a promo then G11 it. Sometimes PROMO can be written in a more subtle way, but it still resembles in the way the article is written (too much information about the products, for example, or a lot of subject background (especially singers/DJs/musicians and yet the subjects are not notable under WP:NMUSIC and etc.).<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

'''8. Why do we tag a page? What are the normal tags we place in an article'''


 * Answer: We tag pages to highlight problems to other editors and readers. While fixing the problems ourselves would be even better, tagging is still a good practice because it alerts others potential issues, it warns readers about shortcomings in the article content and it allows other editors to fix problems you might not be able to fix yourself. Common tags include: notability, NPOV, cleanup, citation and copy editing. Modussiccandi (talk) 16:26, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

9. When do we WP:R2 a page?


 * Answer: The most common occurrence of R2 is the following: When a mainsapace article has been moved to draft, the original article becomes a redirect to the draft page. Since R2 is there to eliminate such redirects from the mainspace, the leftover redirect can be deleted under that criterion. Modussiccandi (talk) 16:26, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ R2 happens is to move from on namespace to another. Here we mainly talk about moving a new article from main space (new page) to draft and request the the move from a admin where we nominate the page for R2. Note: use R2 sparingly. <b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

10. When do we WP:PROD a page?


 * Answer: When we think that an article clearly violates Wikipedia's policies, our first thought should be speedy deletion. However, the CSD are narrowly defined and many articles will not meet them. In such as case, if the violation is blatant, we can PROD the article. This will be swifter than AfD, unless another editor challenges. Modussiccandi (talk) 16:26, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ We PROD a page if it doesn't pass the notability guidelines (both general and specific), doesn't meet any of CSD criteria and we believe the deletion would not be controversial - no one will object. If the tag survives 7 days and a reviewing administrator agrees - it will be deleted. If someone objects to PROD it can't be used anymore.07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

11. When do we WP:BLPPROD a page?


 * Answer: Wikipedia's policies for biographies of living persons are particularly strict. Thus, when we come across an article about a living person that does not have any sources. Unlike normal PROD, these articles will be deleted after 7 days unless at least one source is added. Modussiccandi (talk) 16:26, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. If there are links in External links section or anywhere else – we can't use BLPPROD. Also bothe BLPROD and PROD is lasted seven day unless a source is added to BLPROD then the tag can be removed and if a PROD is removed, we can NOT PROD again.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

12. When do we WP:AfD a page?
 * Answer: Sometimes none of the alternative deletion processes apply (CSD, PROD, BLPROD) and we still think that an article violates the guidelines. In these cases, we can nominate the article for deletion (AfD). This will trigger a discussion for 7 days where editors can discuss whether the article should be deleted or not. Modussiccandi (talk) 16:26, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * In addition, we AfD a page if we deem the subject is not notable after we do a WP:BEFORE.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

13. Why it is important to WP:CSD a page when the article fit the CSD criteria?


 * Answer: CSD exist for a reason: every day problematic and even offensive content gets added to Wikipedia. This content has to be deleted quickly so that the project's reputation for integrity is not diminished. The CSD criteria are formulated narrowly. If a page meets them, it is certain to be harmful to the project. Therefore, speedy deletion must always be done when possible in order to keep Wikipedia clean of problematic content. Modussiccandi (talk) 16:26, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ CSDs are strict criteria under which the articles can be deleted speedily by admins without discussion and consensus. So it's not only remove problematic or offensive content from Wikipedia but it is also important to CSD such articles to avoid possible legal issues (if it's a copyvio), or promo page as Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia and not a advertising/promo sites. It also to reduce the time on deletion discussions (as such articles have no chance to survive the discussion). But it's important to apply CSD properly.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

14. When do we decide to WP:R2 / WP:PROD / WP:BLPPROD a page when the article has no source in it?


 * Answer: [I will presume that R2 here stands for move to draft.] When deciding between these three options, the first question we have to ask is whether some chance to be suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia if more time were invested in finding sources. If the answer is yes, we should move to draft and tag the remaining link for R2. If the answer is no, we need to determine whether the article is about a living person. If yes, we BLPROD. If no, we PROD. Modussiccandi (talk) 17:26, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

15. In your own words, list 5 things you have learnt from observing and participating in AfD.


 * Answer I: That one's opinions might need to change after new evidence comes to light. Oftentimes, one goes into an AfD with a set view of an article. This is especially true when one is the nominator. During the course of an AfD, lots of new sources and views can be presented and it sometimes happens that one's original view is no longer tenable. Then, it is best to acknowledge this and change one's !vote. Modussiccandi (talk) 14:22, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Answer ii: That sometimes strict adherence to the guidelines will not make Wikipedia better. I have noticed in a few AfD's on pornographic performer that it can be very difficult for them to clearly meet GNG or SNG. In these AfD's, the subjects were very well known and had lots of sources available. The problem was that none of them seemed to clearly cross the reliability threshold. Both AfDs ended in a "keep" result, which I thought was good because the subjects would have been notable in many other professions. However, such leeway should be exercised with caution and only through consensus. Modussiccandi (talk) 14:22, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. AfD is dependent on (1) the notability of the subject, (ii) the number of participant of the discussion (iv) the judgmental call of the closing admin. Sometimes a subject is notable but no independent reliable sources can be found during the 7 days (or extension of 7 days), the page can either be deleted/keep/redirect/move to draft. I have seen cases that a Italian marathon runner who ran on 1920 or 30 Olympic games article was a keep even there is only one non independent but reliable source from the Omplyic official site, However, I have 30+ Indian cricketers with only first names and no last names was argue to death by the cricket editors to make all of them keeps but the article were deleted after a year later (note: We can nominate the article again and again even the initial result is a keep, if we deem the subject fails the notability guidelines.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Answer iii: That many editors, including myself at times, are not willing to change their views in light of the facts. I often feel that participants in AfDs form their opinion of an article once and are reluctant to change later. I have been guilty of this behaviour myself. In these situations, I think it is best to assume good faith and hope for more new participants to join in on the debate. Repeatedly retaliating usually does not make things better. Modussiccandi (talk) 14:22, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ It is a normal human nature to want to prove our views are right. 's OK to change your opinion as the result of discussion or withdraw your nomination. Everyone can be wrong. I have withdraw some AfD nomination myself. However, when it comes to AfD, we base our discussion first on notability ground (which means IRS sources are needed) and also on SSN. Sometimes, an editor might not know the Wikipedia guidelines, and what it seems right to them might fit into Wikipedia guidelines. (Note sister Wikipedia sites (different languages Wikipedia) do not share the same guidelines and they operate independent from each other.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Answer iv: That a small percentage of AfDs take the most time to resolve. I have often felt that the majority of discussions are faulty uncontroversial and wrap up in the minimum amount of time (7 days). However, I have participated in some that dragged one for several weeks, and sometimes no consensus is found. It is therefore often more impactful to cast a !vote in an older/more complicated AfD than in one that is likely to finish without a non-consensus !vote. Modussiccandi (talk) 14:22, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. Sometimes, there are some meat editors (those editors like certain subject and get their friends to join in the discussion) and argue to death that the subject should be in Wikipedia main space as they think the subject is so well-known (such as TV news reporters they see/watch everyday) for many years.07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Answer v: That keeping a cool head is among the most important skills to have. In complex and controversial discussions editors often end up taking a lot of ownership in their views and are willing to defend them. Sometimes, editors feel so strongly about an article that expressing a contrary opinion may lead to some tension. In these situations, I have leant that it is best not reply immediately. Giving it a few hours or days will help yourself cool down and see only the facts of the matter. Modussiccandi (talk) 14:22, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. AfD discussion should not be a battle field. Keeping a cool head is very important when it comes to discussion. This is a very important especially for the counter vandalism editors (there is a program for this also if you want to join).<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

1. Nominate 2 articles for WP:PROD and state your reasons.


 * Answer I: Dylan Toth, with the following rationale:

Sources are neither independent nor sigcov. The article was created by an editor whose username resembles the subject's name, which leads me to think that this is merely a non-notable autobiography. I couldn't find any RIS on this subject. Since none of the CSD fit, I'm proposing this for deletion. Modussiccandi (talk) 23:43, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Answer ii: Yug Devgan, with the following rationale:

Notability is not inherited, and the subject is not notable except in connection with his relatives (WP:INVALIDBIO). I'm not BLPRODing because it is likely the creator will ad sources in spite of the subject being non-notable. Modussiccandi (talk) 16:02, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Part 6
'''1. Participate in 5 WP:AFD where by you are the first voter of the discussion. Please provide you reason either to delete, keep, redirect or merge.'''


 * Answer i: Articles for deletion/Papierfabrik Louisenthal,

I !voted keep with the following rationale:

While the article is inadequate and needs some work to be acceptable, the nominator appears to misconstrue the source situation. I have done a 5 minute google search and have found the following sources:


 * an article in Münchner Merkur a reliable albeit regional newspaper
 * from Sächsische Zeitung, a significant newspaper from Saxony
 * from Dresdener Neueste Nachrichten, a minor newspaper from Saxony


 * In all three sources, coverage is significant. Now, in No.2, there might be concerns over independence but my cursory look through the sources has shown several additional articles which could be used.' Overall, the subject meets WP:CORP. Modussiccandi (talk) 00:40, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. The outcome was "no concensus". As a practice, if we do a WP:BEFORE and find sources then we add them in the article besides mentioned (provide links) in the AfD. Although WP:NCORP notability is very strict, and the sources didnt 100% meet the requirement, but due to the company has been establish for very long time and it is in Germany, sources would be a little hard to find for no German editors, but I believe as you are there are sources out there.21:04, 5 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Answer ii: Articles for deletion/Sceptre (Russian band)

I !voted delete with the following rationale:

They seem to be a bit more than a garage band. I've found this article, but it doesn't, of course, demonstrate notability. Some niche coverage can be found too but nothing to suggest they meet WP:BAND. Modussiccandi (talk) 21:47, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

I !voted delete with the following rationale:

While the work itself (Oor Wullie) appears to be notable, I have not found any reliable coverage of the subject either. Since WP:FICTION calls for fictional subjects to meet the same WP:GNG as any other subject, I will say delete. Modussiccandi (talk) 10:40, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

I !voted delete with the following rationale:

There is the article from the BBC but it doesn't constitute significant coverage. There is a lot of non-independent stuff available, but I could not find any reliable coverage either. Therefore, I think this is a WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO fail. Modussiccandi (talk) 18:18, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Answer I: Articles for deletion/Okeano, with the following rationale:

he article is sourced only from the company's own website. A search does not reveal any independent coverage, significant or otherwise. What keeps this article from being straightforwardly promotional is that it doesn't reek of the normal puff language, though NPOV is still not adhered to. Overall, the source situation makes it a WP:GNG and WP:NWEB fail. Modussiccandi (talk) 19:07, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Answer ii: Articles for deletion/SoulPage IT Solutions, with the following rationale:

The sources provided at the bottom of the article are mere listings and do not constitute WP:SIGCOV. I've found another article with somewhat more coverage (this) but I'm not sure this is sigcov either. Having done a search, some other articles with brief mentions are available.

 * Answer iii: Articles for deletion/Member.buzz, with the following rationale:

The article is sourced from a selection of non-independent sources. The one reliable source is the WFMJ-TV article, though it reads like a PR piece. Lots of non-third-party sources can be found via Google but I haven't seen anything that would indicate that the subject meets WP:GNG or WP:CORP. Modussiccandi (talk) 22:27, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Answer iv: Articles for deletion/Corey James La Barrie, with the following rationale:

Although some reliable sources are provided, I believe this subject is only famous for WP:ONEEVENT. The sources all focus on his death and it is doubtful whether he would have been notable before. In fact, a recent AfD resolved to delete the article of the somewhat prominent Brian Hull who has more than 2 Million subscribers. This subject had 300,000. Since Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS, this article should be deleted. Modussiccandi (talk) 23:04, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Answer v: Articles for deletion/James Yarkot, with the following rationale:

The article does not have any sources and a WP:BEFORE search did not reveal anything other than self-published content. The creator has expressed that he wants to expand the article but there is nothing to suggest the subject is notable. While this might actually be PROD/BLPROD territory, I thought I'd take the article to AfD because the creator would likely object/add a source. Modussiccandi (talk) 12:02, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Part 8
Pls list 10 things needs to be considered/done when reviewing a page.'


 * Answer i: One should not try to get a page deleted very shortly after its creation. I have noticed that improvements will sometimes be made in the next ten minutes or so. If we are too fast when trying to get a page deleted, we may actually prevent good content from being added to Wikipedia. Modussiccandi (talk) 12:43, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. Usually we wait for 2 hours after creation to act.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 22:18, 5 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Answer ii: One should always try and find additional sources if notability is in doubt. Inexperienced creators will often fail to extract all the available IRS. Therefore, it is good to make sure that a subject really is non-notable before tagging for deletion. Modussiccandi (talk) 12:43, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. Good as it is a good practice.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 22:18, 5 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Answer iii: Sometimes, guidelines will not provide the perfect answer. With some articles the question of notability will come down to a very contentious detail such as whether a foreign language sources is reliable. In these cases, we must exercise judgement and there is always a chance that we're wrong. It is best to consult other editors in such a situation. Modussiccandi (talk) 12:43, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 22:18, 5 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Answer iv: We should always have a view for the medium-term future of the article. For example, if we choose not to attempt deletion, will a different editor disagree and move to AfD? If we PROD, will the creator object? Is the page likely to be improved if moved to draft or will it rot in the draft space? To some degree, our decisions need to be informed by these considerations. Modussiccandi (talk) 13:13, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 22:18, 5 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Answer v: Only review on topics we are familiar with. We may not understand everything in a given article and thus we are liable to misunderstand the notability guidelines. Modussiccandi (talk) 13:13, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 22:18, 5 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Answer vi: When reviewing, one should be open to changing one's mind after reading all the sources. I've touched on this earlier: we sometimes come to articles with an opinion already formed. After checking all of the available sources, it may be possible that the facts contradict the opinion we had before. So, in order to make the right judgements, we should keep an open mind about the articles we review. Modussiccandi (talk) 14:41, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. We normally review a page based on notability guidlines.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 22:18, 5 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Answer vii: We should resist the temptation of A7. One encounters many articles which appear to be clearly non-notable and not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. It may be tempting to nominate them with CSD A7 because of a perceived lack of importance. However, this is not how A7 is intended to be used: we should only use A7 for articles that do not credibly state why their subject is significant. Any credible assertion of importance ('John Doe is the president of North-East Ohio chess club') prevents the use of this criterion. Of course, other criteria may still apply. Modussiccandi (talk) 14:41, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 22:18, 5 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Answer viii: One should research all possible SNG carefully. Many articles do not meet GNG but are still notable under some SNG. It can often be tempting to say that an article fails GNG and, say, WP:ANYBIO. Often there are more SNG that may be applicable and it is important that we commit to finding them. Modussiccandi (talk) 14:41, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Answer xi: Have patience. Some articles have dozens of sources to go through. If we commit to reviewing any given article, we need to have the patience to thoroughly review all the relevant material. Modussiccandi (talk) 15:12, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Answer x: We should communicate with the creator about issues. If only small issues prevent an article from being marked as reviewed, we should reach out to the creator and tell them about it. Even if the article qualifies for deletion, we should always keep whoever created the article in the loop. Modussiccandi (talk) 15:12, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

He is close to meeting in WP:ANYBIO because of his involvement in the foundation of the Philippine Taekwondo Association but I believe there isn't enough verifiable info about this. The reason I'm willing to say this is notable is WP:SPORTSPERSON: he participated in the 1986 Asian Games and won a medal at the Asian Taekwondo championships. I'm willing to give him the pass: if he was from Europe/US there would likely be more sources on him given is achievements in the sport. Modussiccandi (talk) 12:17, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

'''Please create an article in via Wikipedia:Articles for creation where by the subject is notable, the content adhere to all the requirement and appropriate tagging/labeling/linking as discussed from Assignment 1-8. Some notable subjects could be found at WikiProject Women in Red/API Women.

Answer: I have submitted Draft:Eva Forest at AfC. Modussiccandi (talk) 23:05, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

, Here is the final exam questions. All the best. Stay safe and best.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 07:26, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, I have a couple of questions relating to the final exam: 1) I moved this article to draft because it was a very brief stub with no sources. But I thought the topic might be notable, that's why I didn't attempt to nominate it for deletion. Now I've had this conversation with the article's creator. What is the best way to proceed? Does this equate a reason for CSD G6? 2) I nominated Mary Teresa Collins for CSD G12 because it had lots of copyvio material. The article was deleted but now it's been recreated without Copyvio issues. How can I demonstrate to you that it was originally deleted? Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 16:59, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , Good day. First of all do not that moving an article to draft space yourself is different than requested the article to be move by admin via R2. The assignment here is to request R2 and the admin move the page to another name space (draft space). There is another move manger right which a small group of users/reviewers have which they would move main space articles (usually new articles) to main space without the admin intervention or request for R2. Reviewers/editors would request the move manager user right after demonstrating many successful R2. Normal move by editors usually is changing the article names with the option of leaving a redirect behind / moving the article talk page along.
 * For you question 1. The creator is a reviewer who knows about reviewing/patrolling articles well. You have 2 options. (i) leave the article in draft space for other editors might want to work on the article. Do note if no one edits the article in 6 months in draft space, it could be denominated for G13. (ii) Article in draft space can NOT be AfD (There is a WP:AfC (Article for Creation - which means the article is created in the draft space instead of mainspce). We can CSD draft space for G11, G12 and after 6 months with no edits by editor for G13. So if you want to AfD the article, you need to move the article back to main space first then AfD it. However, you need to do a WP:BEFORE to make sure the subject is not notable for no IRS (indepndent, reliable source) would be found before dominating AfD the article. I am not technical for such I cant advise you about the subject notability here.
 * For you question 2. In your https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Modussiccandi/CSD_log CSD log], it shows you have nominated the page for CSD G12 on November 10 2020  and in the All public logs (type the article name in the "Target (title or User:username for user):" field) shows the article was deleted on November 10, 2020 by admin Jimfbleak. The log also shows the article has been created on WIKIBB2020 on November 10, 2020. Note any deleted article can be asked for WP:REFUND and if they would be work on quickly to remove the issues in the article before it is nominated and deleted, then it could stay in the mainspace for review.

 * ,Reviewed. Sorry for the delay. I was a little busy for the last two weeks catching up with other Wikipedia work and some personal tasks as to review a final exam for NPPS would take a few big blocks of free time.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 22:18, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , thank you so very much. Please accept my apologies for pestering you with my requests! You were a great teacher and really did learn a lot during the process. If you don't mind me asking: what are the next steps for me to start reviewing? Modussiccandi (talk) 22:29, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , You could apply for the NPP reveiwer right at Requests for permissions/New page reviewer, which I noticed you had applied today. The user righ is for NPP page but not the draft page (AfC). For draft page reveiwer, that would be another request for permission and even thought both NPP and AfC (Article for creation) share most of the guidelines; however, there are some different. There is no program for AfC reviewer but I have guardeted a few editors and provide them the info/differences when reviewing AfC page. Let me know if you want to know. Stay safe Modussiccandi and best.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 23:49, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , thank you for the offer. I am generally interested in reviewing at AfC. I'd first like to see whether my request for new page reviewer goes through. If that works well, I'll get back to you about AfC. Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 00:31, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
