User:Isochrone/NPP School

Welcome. We will use this space to do our NPP work; I recommend you put it on your watchlist (I have done so already). I will normally try and put assignments in bold though follow-up question will just use normal Wikipedia conversation methods. Let me know at any point if you have questions. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:40, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Getting Started
The first thing is to read, really read, WP:NPP and then let me know what you think are the two or three parts of that you feel your skills are the strongest and two or three where you could still grow. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:40, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I just had a thorough read of WP:NPP, and I'm a little embarrassed I didn't earlier. I'm quite strong with COIs, sourcing issues and categorising, but I often make mistakes with CSD and PROD, drafts and sometimes misdetermine the notability of subjects. Bᴇʀʀᴇʟʏ  • Talk to me∕What have I been doing 18:49, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
 * COI is an important element of NPP. And the good news is that if you can identify reliable sourcing you're in good shape. Much of notability is just about counting reliable sources. Well maybe it's a little more complex than that but sources really are at the heart of notability. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:38, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Drafts
We'll start by doing some practical work with articles submitted through the Articles for Creation process. For each draft below say what you would have done if you had found these while doing New Page Patrol (there are a few differences in practice between AfC and NPP - for this assignment pretend they are not drafts but are instead in article space). This will give me a sense of your thinking and approach. From here (or perhaps after another set or two) we'll go to some focused generic exercises.

 * Draft:The Vancouver Sketchbook: Lush Landscapes, Vibrant Streetscapes, Soaring Skyline
 * Draft:Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium
 * Draft:QA Info Tech
 * Draft:Pablo Sinues

Answer

 * Draft:The Vancouver Sketchbook: Lush Landscapes, Vibrant Streetscapes, Soaring Skyline - Tag with appropriate stub template, would move citations to inline sentences, add appropriate WikiProject (WP:WikiProject Literature) to talk page and add Lead to Short tag, mark as reviewed.
 * So I specialize in book content so I was pleased to see this. The two quotes featured are promotional quotes and so don't help establish notability. My research also didn't turn up any promising reviews so if this were at NPP I would nominate for AfD. Your steps are all good though, especially around citations. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:43, 24 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Draft:Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium - Add infobox, add appropriate stub template, add More Citations tag, correct errors that break WP:MOS, add Lead Rewrite tag as the lead gives information that cannot be found elsewhere in the article, add WikiProject Sport to talk page, fix citations and find others online, mark as reviewed
 * I couldn't find sources suggesting this was notable. Did you find something else? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:43, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Quite a few universities have played there like the University of Denver Athletics, and has been recognized by the Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association. Bᴇʀʀᴇʟʏ  • Talk∕Contribs 08:34, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
 * That isn't really what conveys notability but it's the right kind of thinking to be doing so well done for this point in our work. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 02:07, 25 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Draft:QA Info Tech - N/A as draft has been deleted.
 * Draft:Pablo Sinues - Generally an OK article, alias would be placed in bold, weird clump of citations should be spread out for appropriate sections that require them, not sure if it is as stub or start but I would say stub as it only has two sections. Get rid of the section with whole award and merge it with Academic Activity fix categories. There seems to be a lot of information in the article not easily researchable, so perhaps the main contributor has a relationship and/or is the person they are writing about, suggesting COI, mark as reviewed.
 * Good point about the COI. I don't generally enjoy reviewing academics because there are some specialized tools that I don't have access to and specialized knowledge which I have to work hard to access. So honestly at NPP I probably skip over. I included it in our work because I wanted one BLP and because I was hopeful it would be an easy decline. Anyhow I have accepted it but am curious what another reviewer will say. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:43, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Nice job with this first assignment. I can see you making good use of the flowchart. New assignment to come soon. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:43, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Sourcing
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. As such, claims made in articles should be supported by independent (secondary), reliable sources for verification. Please read WP:RS, WP:IS, WP:RSP, WP:V, WP:PROVEIT, WP:Primary, WP:Secondary, and WP:Tertiary. Barkeep49 (talk) 01:49, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Source Evaluations
In the tables below, please indicate "y" for yes or "n" for no after "ind", "rel" and "sig" (see first example) and give a brief explanation of why you place "y" or "n" for each source. Hopefully this will be right up your alley. Barkeep49 (talk) 01:49, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. His creative period spanned more than 70 years. He works includes The Guggenheim, swirling, snail-shaped museum in the middle of Manhattan. Fallingwater, which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture." This is one of Wright's most famous private residences (completed 1937), was built for Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., at Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Constructed over a 30-foot waterfall, it was designed according to Wright's desire to place the occupants close to the natural surroundings. The house was intended to be more of a family getaway, rather than a live-in home.


 * One useful resource when looking at sources is WP:RSP which summarizes sources that have been talked about a lot. Some reliable sources are not included but it's a good starting point. So for the NY Post good analysis for independence and sigcov but is less clear when it comes to reliable. You'd need to be ready to make a case for this particular article.
 * Good on the foundation
 * Yes to business week
 * Books can be great resources. An autobiography would fail independence but a regular biography would not. Twombly wrote about many architechts so on the whole this is probably OK for all three categories.

Jordan Lennon (born February 22, 2000), is a British film producer and actor. Lennon is currently a member of BAFTA. He continues to work aside 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros, Wicked Wales, Capture Studios, Cineworld, Paramount Pictures, and Rockefeller Foundation.

At age 16, the Vice President of 20th Century Fox, Paul Higginson. Who previously worked on Star Wars, Titanic, and Independence Day took on Jordan and Rowan Snow as a mentor. In December 2018, Jordan and Rowan finished British Film Academy. Jordan lived in Skelmersdale for 10 years before moving to Rhyl, North Wales. He's currently writing 'Stranger in the Night' scrreenplay for Warner Brothers.


 * Yes to imdb
 * BAFTA is probably reliable in certain ways but is certainly not a good source for the reasons you said here.
 * Linked-in probably isn't even sigcov as resumes generally don't count there.
 * Yes to behind the voices.



Sonny William Williams (born 3 August 1985), who is a Muslim, is a New Zealand All blacks rugby union footballer, Williams was a Marist Saints junior when he was spotted playing in Auckland by Bulldogs talent scout John Ackland. In 2002 he was offered a contract and moved to Sydney (as the youngest player to ever sign with an NRL club) to play in the Bulldogs' junior grades.


 * Excellent with daily mail
 * The all blacks is not independent. It would be reliable for certain kinds of information but certainly not this.
 * The New Zealand Herald is 150+ years old and has a large circulation for New Zealand. There are no real indications I can see htat it's not reliable. However, it's not really sigcov. The interview is not with Williams, it is with a different player who mentions Sonny. And that brief mention is not enough by most definitions to count as sigcov.
 * Yes to Sydney Herald.

David Howell Petraeus (born November 7, 1952) is a retired United States Army general and public official. He served as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from September 6, 2011, until his resignation on November 9, 2012 after his affair with Paula Broadwell was reported.

Petraeus was born in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, the son of Sixtus Petraeus (1915–2008), a sea captain from Franeker, Netherlands.

In 2003, Petraeus commanded the 101st Airborne Division in the fall of Baghdad


 * Yes to USA Today, CNN, and HuffPo
 * Things can be a private website and still not independent. The idea here is independent from the topic being covered. So Geni is independent but not quite for the reason you said.
 * Yes to Vanity Fair
 * The PBS interview is an example of something not being independent. An interview lacks that independence and so does not qualify towards a source being GNG even though it is otherwise reliable.
 * Yes to the Independent

Martina Hingis is a Swiss former professional tennis player. She won five Grand Slam singles titles. Hingis was one of the highest-paid female athletes in 2000. She retired in November 2007 after being hampered by a hip injury for several months and testing positive for a metabolite of cocaine during that year's Wimbledon Championships, which led to a two-year suspension from the sport.


 * Instagram is not reliable partly because anyone can edit it. In this case Hingis herself.
 * Yes to LA Times
 * The book is actually not SIGCOV. Inclusion in a list does not normally count as such coverage.
 * Yes to ESPN and the Guaridan.

Questions
thanks for confirming that you've read them. Now that we've covered sources, can you apply your knowledge of GNG and SNGs? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:30, 20 April 2020 (UTC) For each of the above subjects assessed in the previous section, please identify whether they meet notability guidelines (and how/why), based solely on the sources included on this page (i.e. don't go looking for more sources).
 * Question 8
 * 1) Frank Lloyd Wright ✅: Business Week is a reputable source and having significant coverage from them shows that some notability, and having a biography written about them by a reasonably well-known author also demonstrates notability.
 * 2) Jordan Lennon ❌: None of the sources show any significant coverage and almost all of them are primary sources, except for a voice acting website, which the notability for is questionable (there is also a different name).
 * 3) Sonny Bill Williams ✅: Daily Mail and All Blacks both can't demonstrate notability, and there was no significant coverage from the NZH. But the Sydney Morning is a well known and trusted source, and this is a thorough analysis, demonstrating notability.
 * 4) David Petraeus ✅: Honestly, being an ex-director of the CIA demonstrates notability on its own, but based on the sources, significant coverage from USA Today, HuffPost, Vanity and Independent all demonstrate notability, all being well-known news organisations.
 * 5) Martina Hingis ✅: 3/5 of the sources demonstrate sigcov and are mentioned by reliable news sources like ESPN and the Guardian.
 * It seems like you're using GNG for all of these? Is that right? If so please take another look WP:GNG as I think you'll need to adjust some of your analysis. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:00, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Please explain in your own words why claims need to be verified?
 * Question 9
 * The reason we have to verify claims is that, if we don't, anyone can then add anything they want. To add something you should need evidence, and while most people edit in good faith and are right, we can't just have random people adding random stuff.
 * ✅ Yes. We have Verifiability, not truth. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:10, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Could we cite Wikipedia as a source? and why?
 * Question 10
 * You could not cite Wikipedia as a source because Wikipedia relies on citations. If you were to cite another Wikipedia article's claim that was backed up by a reference, Wikipedia is effectively the middle man, we should use the reference directly, instead of citing Wikipedia itself.
 * Kind of but not really. Take a look at WP:V and see where Wikipedia comes up short. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:10, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Give an example of a source that is reliable but not independent of a subject, and explain why.
 * Question 11
 * An interview with the company they work for. While it is likely reliable, it is not independent as it likely has biased views towards the subject.
 * ✅ That's always the example I use too. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:10, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Give an example of a source that is an independent source but not reliable and explain why. A tabloid newspaper like The Daily Mail. While it is independent, most of the content inside relies on rumours and unverified information
 * Question 12
 * ✅ Good example and analysis. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:10, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Subject-specific notability guidelines
let's go from your good work with the GNG to another kind of notability - subject-specific notability. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:51, 13 July 2020 (UTC) 1. Please categorize the subject-specific notability guidelines (listed at Category:Wikipedia notability guidelines) into the following three categories

A: Primarily additional criteria that are likely to indicate notability

B: Primarily additional considerations that define or restrict the nature of coverage or sources required

C: Even mix of the previous two categories

2. Virtually all SNGs that provide additional notability criteria specify that these criteria may indicate that the subject meets notability guidelines. How would you interpret this caveat as a new page reviewer? 1: 2. I assume by the word "may", the guidelines reference that the guidelines are suggestive, not prescriptive. Whilst they should generally followed, in the case an extremely specific example comes up that is not covered by the guidelines, editors may vote on a consensus to help suggest what should happen.
 * Notability (academics), A
 * Notability (astronomical objects), C
 * Notability (books), A
 * Notability (events), B
 * Notability (films), B
 * Notability (geographic features), A
 * Notability (music), A
 * I see why you went with A but this is really more of a B, though maybe you could argue C
 * Notability (numbers), B
 * ✅ This is a strange one but I have confidence you get the idea
 * Notability (organizations and companies), C
 * This is definitely a B. NCORP is designed to be our strictest interpretation of GNG.
 * Notability (people), A
 * This is more of a C as it varies by which kind of people we're talking about. Some are A and some are B.
 * Notability (sports), A
 * This is a B.
 * Notability (web), C
 * This is a B.
 * Notability (people), A
 * This is more of a C as it varies by which kind of people we're talking about. Some are A and some are B.
 * Notability (sports), A
 * This is a B.
 * Notability (web), C
 * This is a B.
 * This is mostly spot on. The idea behind many SNGs is to not have the same argument over and over again at AfD. However, there are times where we might presume notability but someone, and that could be a NPP, does indepth research and discovers that the coverage we're assuming to be there isn't actually there. It happens far less frequently the other way around (though there are areas reflected in WP:OUTCOMES where we have defacto SNGs). Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:49, 7 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Pinging — Yours,  Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 17:38, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * see feedback above. In particular the NCORP piece is important so let me know if you have questions or want to discuss further. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:49, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Scenarios
For scenarios 1-6 review just based on "subject notability guidelines" (SNG) "alone" for sake of the exercise. Do not consider any sources or other policies. Please answer if the subject meets the SNG guidelines based on the given content below, and specify which notability criteria they meet or fail.

For scenarios 7-11 specify which SNGs would establish the subject's notability.

An editor creates an article about "2024 Summer Olympics" in 2020 without providing any sources, is the subject considered not notable and why? After a thorough read of WP:NSPORT I can't seem to find anywhere that demonstrates whether it would be notable or not.
 * Scenario 1
 * This is a little tricky because it's actually covered under WP:NEVENT. Given that what are your thoughts? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:50, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

A New York city-based 2020 start-up software company, specializing in data mining, has just received a USD 200K investor fund. WP:MULTSOURCES deems editors should pay attention to bias. A 2020 software startup is likely subject to recentism and would not be considered notable.
 * Scenario 2

Movsar Evloev who is a Ultimate Fighting Championships fighters with the undefeated mixed martial arts record of 12-0. ✅ per WP:NMMA as they have fought more than three professional fights for a top-tier MMA organization, they are considered notable.
 * Scenario 3

An upcoming action-drama title "Suleiman the Great" based on the life of Suleiman the Magnificent, which will be in production in August 2020 and to be released on March 2021 in the cinemas. Per WP:NFF, upcoming films should not have articles and are not considered notable.
 * Scenario 4
 * So August 2020 has already happened. Once it enters production, if there is sourcing to confirm that, NFF says it can be OK. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:50, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

A political candidate, without any previous or current political position, who is running for November 2020 election for a Senator position in the United States with multiple local newspapers coverage of his candidacy. ✅ WP:NPOL says that political candidates who have been at a national level are considered notable, but also Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage.
 * Scenario 5
 * The US Senate isn't at the national level. Only the President/VP is. This should probably be a redirect to the article about the election. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:54, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

A singer who self-produced his first album in May 2019 and his songs are listed in Spotify. if their songs are only listed in Spotify and haven't been documented in significant coverage by reliable sources, then they are not considered notable per WP:SPOTIFY
 * Scenario 6


 * Scenario 7

Carlos Alós-Ferrer ✅, WP:NACADEMIC

Alistair Overeem ✅, WP:NMMA
 * Scenario 8

Jennifer Lopez ✅, WP:SINGER
 * Scenario 9
 * ✅ Among other SNGs

Three Mile Island accident ✅, WP:EVENTCRIT

Apologies for getting back so late, I had some personal issues and didn't have time to finish this. I have filled in the above responses as I believed suitable, but I will admit I was a bit confused on this exercise.

SNG Practice
, using the NPP Feed go ahead and find 5 articles that make a claim to notability under 5 different SNGs (1 of these should be NCORP). Below, list the article, what SNG criteria specifically is being claimed, and whether or not it meets the criteria for that SNG (e.g. it meets NCRIC criteria 2 but not the others). If an article makes a claim to more than 1 SNG list them all. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:05, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

1. Nancy Cu-Unjieng, WP:BLP. ❌ Doesn't seem to be written from a neutral point of view, exhibiting sentences and phrases such as "like minded", "desired to", "Cu has been very vocal on addressing various forms of animal rights violation, whether through horse fighting, dog consumption etc.". Almost all of the sources are unreliable, with sources such as "mindfulness" news websites, the article subject's own website, LinkedIn, a radio interview, and others. Some sources may be reliable, but I am unsure, such as the Philippine Daily Inquirer. The claims made in the article seem to be sourced, though some sources are completely irrelevant to the claims.

2. Coforge (now Draft:Coforge), WP:NCORP. ✅ At first glance seems to fail NCORP, but on closer inspection it seems it may borderline pass it. Ignoring all the sources from equity websites, there are multiple sources in significant coverages, from The New Indian Express, Firstpost and The Economic Times. A quick Google search reveals many more independent and reliable sources.
 * {[tick}}

3. Kaalam Neram Kadhal, WP:WEB. ❌ Does not have multiple reliable sources, all its sources are from tabloids. Neither has it won any well known awards.
 * ✅ - I will note that the WEB SNG is a lot less useful than it once was as often web content can be fairly analogized to some other criteria these days. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:40, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

4. The Day I Died: Unclosed Case, WP:NFILM. ❌ The article seems to pass WP:GNG, with sources that are independent and in significant coverage (however I am unaware of their reliability). However, it may be assumed the article fails WP:NFF, as it is yet to be released, but since it has commenced principal photography, it passed NFF.
 * Your analysis correctly notes that this should be a yes as Notability_(films) is part of the SNG. Guessing you went with the no tick because it's not one of the things listed under evidence of notability. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:40, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

5. 1959 United Nations Security Council election, WP:NEVENT. ✅ Though the article's sources do not show this, this was a very significant event, and passes NEVENT as it was of widespread international impact.
 * Pinging, ✅ Assignment finished, please tell me of any errors I made. Hope for the best. — Yours, Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 15:06, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

 * I'd be interested in practicing on Wikipedia policy and guidelines (this is probably one of my stronger areas, but I think it would be useful to take a refresher to make sure I know them properly). — Yours, Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 19:12, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Content Policy
Alright here we go.

Article titles
Please read WP:TITLE and answer the questions below

'''1. Article name "Hannibal Barca" - Does the article name need to be changed? 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: ❌ Per WP:COMMONNAME. The most common name and that used in the article is "Hannibal Barca" so that is what should be used. ✅ Barkeep49 (talk) 18:55, 19 November 2020 (UTC) --

'''2. Article name "Magic Johnson". Does the article name need to be changed? 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: ❌ Once again no, with WP:COMMONNAME coming into play once again. Regardless if it is their nickname, the most common name for a subject should be that used in an article.
 * ✅ Barkeep49 (talk) 18:55, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Biographies of living persons
Please read WP:BLP and answer the questions below.

'''3. Please explain if the content of the below text is acceptable for inclusion 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: ✅ Most claims are sourced (the latter is not, but I assume that a contributor is trying to follow WP:CITELEAD and not use many references in the lead). The tone used is suitable for Wikipedia, as well as a neutral point of view being maintained.
 * I don't think this one is as clear as you've made it out to be. The tone is suitable. The question becomes: are the sources appropriate for the information cited? Do the uncited statements need citation based on policy?, can you answer these follow-ups? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:55, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * (apologies to Barkeep for the accidental ping) The sources cited are reliable sources (though Encyclopædia Britannica should be used with caution as it is a tertiary source). All the claims are backed up by sources that are related to the claim and insignificant coverage. The uncited statements, if not sourced elsewhere in the article, require reliable sources or should be challenged and removed. — Yours, Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 19:01, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , poor Barkeep gets my pings all the time (and also since you didn't have a new signature, the ping didn't go to me). The only thing that makes it a bit better is that I registered here first. But I do feel bad for him on that front. Anyhow, as for the actual sources, have we talked about WP:NPPRS? It's a great guide to many common sources, including foreign language sources. After looking at that, how does that change your assessment? As for that last paragraph, wouldn't need a source.  is salacious enough that I would suggest it does need an in-line source to an RS to be included. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:12, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I hadn't in fact heard about this guide, it's very useful! It looks like TMZ has no consensus, but is generally considered unreliable as it seems to be a tabloidish style website. Fox News is considered reliable for news coverage that isn't related to political and science topics, so it is suitable. RT is heavily marked as a "propaganda" station and is not considered reliable for controversial topics. As this claim seems to be relatively controversial, it wouldn't be a suitable source. There doesn't seem to be any consensus for South China MP, and ESPN is a reliable source. — Yours, Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 19:47, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The South China Morning Post is actually on there and is generally reliable.

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. Answer: Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia that strives to prevent neutral content. Instead of providing undue wait to views of minorities, it should be given to more widely held views. If this was not followed, Wikipedia could be seen as biased and representing of views generally not followed.

No original research
Please read WP:OR and WP:NOT and answer the questions below

12. In your own words, why is Wikipedia not a platform for publishing original research? Answer: Encyclopaedias should be backed up by independent and reliable sources. Original research that cannot be verified should not be on Wikipedia as it could cause incorrect and factually inaccurate information to be included in a Wikipedia article.

14. See this video and write an article paragraph that properly presents claims supported by the source.''' Answer: When asked by an Islam Net reporter, Shady Alsuleiman said that clothing of muslim people must be baggy and loose, non-see-through, and to not draw attention with the usage of colours. He also claims that jeans and trousers cannot be worn but followers of Islam, as they are not baggy clothing. (I really struggled with this)

Communication with editors

 * Wikipedia is the product of collaborations between many editors, some experienced and some  new. 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 for new editors who are not familiar with Wikipedia guidelines and policies. 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 and editor interactions
1. In your own words, why is it important to WP:AGF and not WP:BITE new editors? Everyone was a new editor once, and in the mass of Wikipedia's policy and guidelines (so complex they are that users often have to even take part in schools to understand them!), a newcomer can easily get lost. It is important to help guide these new editors along their way, because, in all honestly, most of them just want to help.

2. How do we deal with a bad faith registered user and how do we deal with a bad faith IP editor? If they have gone over level 4 in warnings, then it is best to leave a note on their talk, asking them to stop. If they ignore the message or refuse to co-operate and continue being disruptive, taking the IP/registered user to AIV, AN3, AN or ANI for respective reasons, it sutiable.

'''Please review at least 5 recently submitted AfC drafts where you can leave a comment that helps communicate with the editor. List those drafts below''' * Draft:Gara (raag), the article seems to have good grammar, and it is readable, however it is not supported by any independent, reliable sources in significant coverage, so fails WP:GNG. I would leave a comment with the creator saying that they needed to make sure the article pass GNG.
 * Draft:X-League (Rugby League). This draft is clearly created by an user with a conflict of interest (who has since been blocked). It only has 3 sources, one of which is primary, the second a local news website of questionable reliability, and the third their own website. I'd tell the editor to declare their conflict of interest, and that they needed to back up their draft with independent, reliable sources.
 * Draft:Tricked Out Tractors. "The draft does contain sources, but 3 of those are primary and the other 6 seem to be from semi-reliable, lesser known magazines and newspapers, of questionable reliabilty. I recomend trying to find more independent, reliable sources. Please also remove the external links from the body, and follow episode list consensus at Television episodes."
 * Draft:List of professional wrestling attendance records in Mexico. "Please back up the article with independent, reliable sources. Of the 23 sources, 11 are by one author, of the other 12, 3 are by the same author, and 6 are from the same website. The only reliable source appears to be number 16, a published book."

 * these all look good and no worries on taking a while. What are you hoping to do next? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 21:45, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I definitely feel like I could work on deletion. I don't feel as strong as I could be especially on things like PROD (I'm not sure what soft deletion is though).
 * apologies, as I didn't sign my previous post you didn't recieve the ping. Please see above :D — Yours, Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 12:47, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * thanks for the ping. I did indeed miss you reply on my watchlist. So the thing about PROD is that I've found it to be nearly worthless in a NPP context. It's meant for uncontroversial deletions but newly created pages almost always have someone that wants to see them through and so I basically never PROD something when doing NPP, I just go to AfD. That's because at AfD you can also end up with a SOFTDELETE outcome. Essentially what this is when no one (or in some cases 1 or 2 other people) participates. At that point it can be closed as SOFTDELETE. Essentially it's treated like a WP:PROD instead of a full AfD. Because PRODs are designed to be uncontroversial they can be restored, on request, at WP:REFUND. The same is true of AfD noms that close as soft delete. Does that make more sense? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:36, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah all right, that makes a lot more sense. I think I'm fine on everything in "Reviewing Procedures"; these are generally things I do a lot. I've recently started utlitising flow charts and guides (such as WP:NPPS) and find them very useful. However if you think it is important to go over it again, I'm happy to go over flowcharts and guides. — Yours, Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 18:45, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Flowchart practice
Have you installed Superlinks? I find it helpful for accessing the flowchart while doing reviews. Let's keep this simple. Pick 5 articles from the new side of the NPP queue and say how would proceed with them through the flowchart. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:09, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * All right, the articles I picked are:


 * Yvan Dautin : English? Yes > Any of these CSD? No > Blank? No > Context? Yes > Copyvio? No > 2 or more refs? No > Claim of significance? No > About a person? Yes > CSD A7
 * So this might meet on a very strict reading of A7. In reality I think very few CSD admins would delete it. A7 for musicians is more like "They have 30 followers on Spotify" sort of level. To have musical/acting appearances going back to the 70s would not be a good CSD. I'm not saying they're notable - enough patrollers speak French that I'd leave it to one of them rather than trying to do the BEFORE myself - but if they weren't I'd go AfD rather than CSD. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 21:05, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Generally I agree, I usually stay away from articles where the majority of the sources are in a different language. — Yours, Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 08:03, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Wader (American) : English? Yes > Any of these CSD? No > Blank? No > Context? Yes > Copyvio? No > 2 or more refs? Yes > Duplicate? No > Correct title? Yes > Categories? Yes? (but add more) > Stub tag? Yes > Tags? No > WikiProjects? Yes > Reviewed
 * Touhid Talukder : English? Yes > Any of these CSD? No > Blank? No > Context? Yes > Copyvio? No > 2 or more ind refs? No > Claim of significance? No > About a person? Yes > CSD A7
 * Being the producer of a notable TV show would be enough of a CCS for me to decline it. I see it's at AfD now which I expect is the right place for this topic. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 21:05, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * John Stewart (rugby union) : English? Yes > Any of these CSD? No > Blank? No > Context? Yes > Copyvio? No > 2 or more ind refs? No > Claim of significance? No > Person? Yes > CSD A7? (I'm not sure on this one as it may pass it's relevant SNG)
 * So the SNG is vital here. Go ahead and see what you can make of the his notability against the SNG. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 21:05, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Passes WP:NRU as he has played in Super Rugby. — Yours, Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 08:03, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Palestinian Al Mojahden : English? Yes > Any of these criteria? No > Blank? No > Context? Yes > Copyvio? No > 2 or more ind refs? No > Claim of sign? No > Organisation? Yes > CSD A7
 * Again one where strictly speaking there's not a clear "CCS statement" like thre is with Talukder but I would be hesitant to delete outside of AfD. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 21:05, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd probably take this one to AfD per WP:ORG. Annoyingly as there are many groups with very similar names, it was a bit of a pain to do a BEFORE, but I could only find one source, which isn't even in significant coverage. — Yours, Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 08:03, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
 * As a note, I do use Superlinks, but I believe it does not show the flowchart to a user who doesn't have patrol perms. I have also shortened some of the flowchart messages. Pinging — Yours,  Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 16:31, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * sorry to be a pain but can you find the versions where you went through the checklists for these? Obviously pages might have changed since you went through them and I want to make sure to "see what you saw". If it's easier feel free to do new articles (no rush, as always). Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:46, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I have added the diffs, hope this helps! — Yours, Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 08:11, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * See feedback above . You might have done this, but noting that it's a good idea to do a brief Google search before doing an A7 nomination. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 21:05, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah I rarely use A7 unless I am really sure. In this case I just thought what to do if I followed to instructions strictly. Most of the time if I thought a subject wasn't notable I'd take it to AfD over CSD. I was going to use SNGs but wasn't sure if you wanted me to follow the flowchart strictly. I've gone through these again and assessed them a little more losely based on SNGs. Do you want me to do this again with some new articles? — Yours,  Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 08:03, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes let's do another round. The idea of the flow chart is to make sure you're asking the right questions (for instance as a new reviewer without the flowchart I'd have been less attentive to Article titles being correct). But ultimately you need to still arrive at the correct conclusion. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 03:59, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Balvir Singh Luthra: English? Yes > Any of these CSD? No > skip to gng > 2 or more refs? No > SigNif? Yes > BLP? No > BEFORE? > No > SNG? Maybe? I'm not really sure. I'd probably go to another article as I wouldn't feel confident reviewing this one.
 * Election constituencies are almost always going to be notable. This is one of those things you just learn by doing or by trying to find similar articles and see if they have been around a long time and/or patrolled by other experienced editors. I would verify that it exists rather than just slapping a no sources tag (and if I did that I'd probably just include a citation myself even though it's not strictly required of NPP). But yes moving on is often an acceptable outcome when reviewing NPP. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:01, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Si Nos Dejan: English? Yes > Any of these CSD? No > Blank? No > Context? Yes > Copyvio? No > GNG? 2+ refs, but I'm not sure about reliability > Yes(?) > Already exist > Correct title? No (but has been moved) > Cats? Yes > Stub tags? Yes > Talk? Yes > Reviewed (though I wouldn't review this as I'm unsure about the sources)
 * Unsure how? For me GoogleTranslate offers enough for me to feel comfortable that it's going to pass notability. Your thinking here was good. Barkeep49 (talk) 18:28, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Max Reger Prize English? Yes > Any of these CSD? No > Blank? No > Context? Yes > Copyvio? No > GNG? No > Claim of signif? Yes > Bio? No > Google RS? No (I didn't search that deep, so there may be) > SNG? No > Borderline? Yes > Useful prose? Yes > Draftify
 * Ugh awards. This reads to me like a translation of something from German but I couldn't find a dewiki article so maybe it's just someone with limited English proficiency. I think this is a case where a decision one way or another is probably better than DRAFTIFY, which needs to be used sparingly. Barkeep49 (talk) 18:28, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah I really had no idea for the awards. Sadly the only proposed guideline WP:NAWARD failed.

NPROF
Ok here are some people who make a claim to notability under NPROF. I believe this grouping will let us examine most of the criteria. As of this writing they're all unreviewed but if something gets reviewed before you get to it we'll still do the analysis and see if we agree. For each one talk through which NPROF criteria they're making a claim to and whether or not they seem to qualify under that criteria. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:29, 15 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Tahir R. Andrabi
 * Kaweh Mansouri
 * Lim Kok Wing
 * Jack I. Abecassis
 * Sean Speer


 * Tahir R. Andrabi; So this would fall under 5 and 6. The subject is a professor at Pomona College, but not a "Distinguished Professor" (I'm not sure what a Stedman-Sumner Professor is, so he may pass this), neither is he a high-level official, so I would say No.
 * So Stedman-Sumner appears to be a named chair. Since NPROF first came around higher ed has gotten a bit more aggressive about naming chairs so it's not quite the same signifier it once was but it but by the letter of the guideline Andrabi passes. See more at Named chair Barkeep49 (talk) 16:40, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Kaweh Mansouri; Criterion 1? As a rule of thumb iirc, each paper should have over 100 citations. The first linked one has over 100, however the second one has around 50 (scopus). I'm not really sure with this one, but I think they may pass borderline? Tentative.
 * Being an adjunct professor is generally not a good sign. The 100 cites is a reasonable rule of thumb but really the impact is a better one and that is a bit different in each discipline (as different disciplines have different practices about just how much they cite stuff). I'd lean towards probably not but I would probably leave this alone because outside of a few areas I hate judging based on scholarly impact when it's not clear.

 * Lim Kok Wing; 2 and 6. For 2, they've had 4 levels that are at the highest national level, and for 6, they've chaired a major(?) university. So I would say yes.
 * I agree. This is a clear pass. Barkeep49 (talk) 16:40, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Jack I. Abecassis; There's almost nothing in the article for me to go of, so I would probably go with the same points as the first article (even the same university!). According to Scodus, they've only ever had one citation. So no.
 * This is what I'm talking about when I say there's been chair inflation. I agree with your assessment that he's not notable despite that putative pass and given his complete lack of academic writing I might be willing to fight the AfD fight about it (especially because the only cite is to his university BIO which is allowed with NPROF but still not my favorite). Barkeep49 (talk) 16:40, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Sean Speer; you know it's not good when Scodus doesn't come up with anything. The subject is probably notable under other SNGs, but for PROF, I can't really find any points he'd fall under. Their contributions seem to have been more right-wing commentary than being an academic.

 * How do you evaluate criteria 7 for them? Barkeep49 (talk) 16:40, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * @Barkeep49 for criteria 7 I'd say they probably pass. They have degrees in economics (from what I can see). In this capacity, he became a manager in stakeholder relations and a senior economic advisor. I wouldn't say this counts as a "substantial impact", however he did then take part in "authoring a series of articles and policy recommendations for the Trudeau government entitled 'From A Mandate For Change To A Plan To Govern'" so likely —  Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 14:43, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes I rate them as a pass on that criteria as well. Barkeep49 (talk) 15:06, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Pinging incase you missed this on your watchlist; if not respond when needed. —  Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 17:46, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I had indeed missed this. One followup question. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:40, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

- sorry I was on real world vacation when this ping came in and kept thinking I would get back to it before I have. Do you want to do some more practice with NPROF people or move on to a different topic? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:06, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Barkeep49, I think I'd prefer to move onto a different topic; NPROF is quite confusing, and I don't think if I do NPP I'd review pages that fall under it (I don't at AfC either). — Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 19:16, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * sure. As this has always been a bit of mentorship as much as school I'll let you continue to guide our direction. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:29, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * @Barkeep49 what else is there on the course to do? Do you think I have anywhere where I should do more work? — Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 12:54, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * In general I think you've had the skills necessary for a while. The general course curriculum can be found New pages patrol/School. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:55, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I think everything's been covered? I can't see anything on the syllabus that we haven't done (please correct me if I'm wrong). I'm not sure what's meant to be done now, it appears there's an exam(?) or test? I'm unsure. Do you think there's anywhere else we didn't go over? — Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 14:56, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I really need to remember to ping, sorry. Barkeep49 — Berrely  • Talk∕Contribs 15:25, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Culminating work
, at your leisure, find 25 new pages to patrol, and list them here. Note how you would handle them (i.e. tag for more sources and mark reviewed, AfD, etc) and give a little bit of explanation why. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:52, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I'll try to do this in parts. Here are the first few:
 * Tiempos de dictadura. Assess and tag as stub, assess via NFILM; can't find a lot of sources (their may be but it gets lost considering the film's name literally translates to "Times of dictatorship"), so I'll ❌.
 * The Dose. Add CN for plot summary, passes NFILM, ✅
 * Ryūga Cave. Assess and tag as stub, has reliable sources covering at and passes WP:GEOLAND so ✅
 * 2021–22 Minnesota Wild season. Assess, season of national tournament so passes WP:NSEASONS, ✅
 * We're All In This Together (High School Musical song). No sources, no categories, assess, I can't find significant coverage for this, so either boldly redirect to High School Musical (soundtrack) or ❌.
 * Golden City 2 station. No sources, BEFORE comes up with nothing. Following the flowchart, it suggests to PROD the article, but as it seems that I should stay away from PROD, AfD.
 * Ossama al-Mefty. 2 primary sources, and BEFORE only comes up with one mention in a local newspaper. Presumably this would fall under WP:NACADEMIC. I think(?) the subject may pass number 5, but I'm unsure. Tentatively mark as reviewed though I would skip this normally.
 * Patagorhacos seems to pass WP:NSPECIES, as it has been published in an academic paper, ✅
 * 2022 Peshawar Mosque bombing. Falls under WP:NEVENT. Has been covered by multiple RS such as Reuters, Al Jazeera, NBC and the New York Times, passed GNG, would probably tag with current, ✅
 * Parotocinclus minutus name has been published and confirmed in ITIS, which is a RS for this topic, passed WP:NSPECIES, ✅
 * Kurt Krjeńc falls under the realm of WP:NPOLITICIAN. He held a seat in the Volkskammer for East Germany. This is a national political position, so I would assess, perhaps tag for more sources, then ✅
 * Alex Faxton. According to WP:NYOUTUBE, YouTubers should pass GNG, but none of the sources in the article demonstate this, and a Google search doesn't come up with any RS. So I would ❌.
 * George Kinney (horse). Bit of a weird one (never seen an article dedicated to a horse), but it doesn't fall under any SNGs afaik, so GNG applies. The article cites no sources, other than a database of questionable reliability, and I can't find any source online. There may be some offline sources, e.g. in newspapers, so I'm unsure. I'd very tentatively redirect to Belmont Stakes but I'm still not sure.
 * Call Me Nightlife per WP:NMUSIC, albums need to meet WP:GNG, and being written by a notable singer does not let them inherit notability. The only source used is Discogs, an unreliable source. Hence, I'd redirect to Nokko.
 * Phonology (Carr book): This follows WP:BOOKCRT, and I'm a bit unsure. The Ken Lodge review is published and reliable, but the latter review, by Snezhina Dimitrova, is on a linguistic mailing list, which isn't a published source. I'd tag for more sources and very tentatively mark as reviewed, as the author of the latter appears to be a subject-matter expert, but I'm still unsure.
 * Sergianism: This article cites one book, an extract of a Russian language source (I think?). After researching for a while, I can only find 2-3 passing mentions of the subject in some reference books, and no significant coverage. Because of this, I'd AfD this article.
 * Toplik, Štip: All settlements that have at some point been inhabited are notable per WP:NLAND, and notability is not temporary. So, I would mark as reviewed.
 * Leonard Shengold: Obituaries in many newspapers of record and RS like the NYT and Los Angeles Times, relatively decent amount of citations, the obits also say he had a significant impact in his field of research, so passes WP:NACADEMIC #1. Reciepent of a Sigourney Award which, whilst I cannot find a Wikipedia article for, appears to be a signifiant award in the field of psychiatry, so might pass criterion 2 as well. Assess, and description and ✅
 * Khairul Islam: Clear promo article likely created by a user with a COI, quick search comes up with no sources online and the only other source is a facebook profile. Nominate for deletion
 * Opalomonadea: based on the stupidly broad WP:NSPECIES, basically any organism that exists is notable. Here, it has been described in a reliable, peer-reviewed journal, so it passes the criteria. Assess, add desc and disambiguate link and ✅
 * Rahul Mathur soldier with no indication of notability, The Week is of questionable reliability and NSOLDIER no longer exists. However I am unsure about whether to AfD this so I'd probably tag for more sources and leave someone more experienced in this topic of notability to handle it.
 * Harod Stream typically any indication other than being just listed in coordinates means an article is notable per WP:GEOLAND, and this has mentions in an encylopaedia and some tourism websites, so passes. Tag as stub, assess and ✅
 * Pathaan (2023) unreleased film of which notability is not demonstrated. The page is broken as well and I can't find sources on a before. I would PROD or AfD.
 * Strangers (2022 film). Significant coverage in at least 3 RS cited and many more found. I'd say it passed the basic criteria of WP:NFILM. Cleanup, assess and reviewed
 * Oriol Vinyals falls under WP:NACADEMIC. I'd say the subject passes criterion 1 as he is the creator of a significantly reported upon AI at Google. However I'm still a bit unsure on this. I'd tentatively mark as reviewed.
 * after over 2 years, I believe I am finally done with this. I await your feedback: I had ambivalent feelings on some of these. –  B errely • T∕C 19:35, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Pinging @Barkeep49 in case you missed this, if you're busy I'm fine with waiting for however long needed. –  B errely • T∕C 07:18, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi @Barkeep49 I appreciate the time passed and the circumstances that have changed, so I just wanted to query on what my status here is. I started this in light of my lack of knowledge in notability guidelines, but I feel I have now garnered sufficient understanding of our guidelines-- so whether you want to continue is your choice. Thanks for all your help. –  I s o chrone (T) 11:01, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
