User:Onel5969/Clovermoss/NPP

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 (I have done so already). 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). I know that you said in the email on my talkpage that you feel you have a grasp of many the core policies, such as RS and NPOV. That's a very good start, and will help us move quickly through some areas. And that you would like to work on your knowledge of notability and deletion. While in doing NPP you do have to understand the different forms of deletion and where and when to use them, so this will definitely help you in that area, and of course, one of the foundational concepts we use in reviewing is notability, so you will be well served in that area as well.

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. 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.
 * How to use this page

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.  Onel 5969  TT me 21:19, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I have read WP:NPP and a lot of the wikilinks that were on the page. It took awhile. I would say that my stronger areas are redirects (I've created more than 1,000 redirects) and usernames (I've made several reports to UAA in regards to promotional editing). One of my weaker areas would be notability (I feel like some of my understanding is shaky, even though I've gotten better over time at understanding it; I also know some of the SNG but not all). I also think paid editing, especially UPE, is one of my weaker areas because I don't really have any experience with it. Clover moss  (talk) 23:21, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Excellent. Redirects are certainly important, but at NPP they tie into notability, cause if you find a non-notable subject, you really have 5 choices at NPP: 1 - Delete request (either CSD, Prod or AfD); 2 - tag for notability and leave unreviewed, allowing another reviewer to take a look; 3 - Draftify (which we'll get into during the school); 4 - doing nothing, just simply skipping over it (I think about 10-15% of the articles I look at I do this with); and then redirecting, as an alternate to deletion. Usernames isn't really essential to NPP, although since you deal with new articles, you might come across ones which need reporting.
 * Notability is something we'll go over ad nauseam, both GNG and the SNG's. Remember, during the process if you feel you need more practice at something, don't hesitate to ask. UPE is something that I'm okay at (there are others who are great at spotting it). There are one or two tells we'll go over which are easy to spot.

As we go through this process, remember it's a marathon, not a sprint. Take your time. We'll move at your pace.

Now we begin.

Notability
 PART 1 

Questions
In your own words, how is notability defined on Wikipedia?
 * Question 1
 * Notability is used to determine whether or not we should have an article, as we don't have an article on everything that exists. Clover moss  (talk) 12:49, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - spot on.  Onel 5969  TT me 17:44, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Would step by step instructions on "How to change a car tire" be considered a notable topic in Wikipedia? Why or why not?
 * Question 2
 * No, because Wikipedia is not an instruction manual. Clover moss  (talk) 12:49, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - exactly.  Onel 5969  TT me 17:44, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

What are the differences between the WP:GNG and the subject-specific notability guidelines? How do we determine which one to use when patrolling an article?
 * Question 3
 * Notability can be determined by passing GNG or an SNG. GNG can apply to any article topic, while SNGs are subject-specific. If an article does not pass SNG but passes GNG, my understanding is that it would still be notable. Clover moss  (talk) 22:33, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - A prominent SNG is WP:NACADEMIC, which in many cases, is the only SNG which actually trumps GNG. And it's tricky, for one of the criteria is how often that scholar is cited.  There is no hard and fast rule about # of citations, it varies depending on whatever discipline the scholar is in.  For example, two scholars might have identical citation counts of 100 for 3 solo articles each, but depending on the discipline that might be okay for one and not another. I've found a good rule of thumb is that if a scholar has multiple solo articles with over 200 citations, they will almost certainly pass an AfD discussion.  Historically it has been enough to say that a subject passes the SNG (for example, saying a football player passes WP:NFOOTY) to cast a keep !vote at an AfD. In recent months there has been a concerted effort to get away from that, and so, particularly in sports biographies, just passing the SNG is not enough, they must pass GNG. However, you are correct that usually passing an SNG is good enough. Onel 5969  TT me 03:10, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Subject-specific notability guidelines
1. Please categorize the subject-specific notability guidelines (listed at Category:Wikipedia notability guidelines) into the following three categories

Primarily additional criteria that are likely to indicate notability
 * WP:GEOLAND, legally recognized populated places are notable. Clover moss  (talk) 16:47, 20 July 2021 (UTC)


 * WP:NACADEMIC, meeting any of the six criteria listed here indicates that an academic is notable. Clover moss  (talk) 22:27, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * WP:NBOOK, winning a major literary award or have been the subject of two non-trivial works (such as a book review) indicates that a book is notable. Clover moss  (talk) 22:27, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * WP:NFOE, films that are included for preservation within a national archive, been subject to two full-length reviews by film critics, or win a major award are notable. Clover moss  (talk) 22:27, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Primarily additional considerations that define or restrict the nature of coverage or sources required
 * GEOLAND does not apply to Notability (astronomical objects), just because an object exists in space and can be verified via a database, does not mean it's notable. Clover moss  (talk) 16:47, 20 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Notability (events): Events are not automatically notable, even if they are "popular". There must be lasting, non-routine, significant coverage of the event. Clover moss  (talk) 22:27, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Even mix of the previous two categories
 * WP:GEOFEAT: being designated under the cultural heritage or national heritage label indicates notability, typical infastructure (such as bridges and dams) are only notable if they meet GNG. Clover moss  (talk) 16:47, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Note: I was a bit confused about what exactly the above question was asking for, so I filled out one of each to see if this is what you're looking for or if you're expecting something different from this excerise. Is this what I'm supposed to do? Clover moss (talk) 16:47, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - It's always interesting to see something from someone else's perspective. I would never have thought to view astronomical objects through the lens of GEOLAND, but I can see how you came up with that. And I like how you viewed it. A couple of points, in theory, no SNG trumps GNG. That being said, NACADEMIC almost always does. But it's a tricky one, there is no hard and fast rule on how many citations qualify, it depends on the academic specialty. But being the head of a university (which is called different things in different countries is always an automatic keep, or holding a named chair). NCORP is actually more restrictive than GNG, due to WP:CORPDEPTH, which asks that sourcing be more than local coverage. In other words, if there is a local shop which gets a lot of coverage in the local papers, that's not enough. It needs to get coverage from sources outside the region. when patrolling, the mere fact that these SNG's are met can usually mean that they will pass an AfD discussion, and therefore meet notability requirements. Although the sports criteria are now beginning to be looked at more carefully, and GNG is gaining more weight. Last year, if there was an article on an association football player who played a single game in 1956, and was solely sourced by Soccerway, that article would have survived an AfD, based solely on the "Meets NFOOTY" criteria. Now, many of these articles are being re-looked at, and many of them are being deleted.  Onel 5969  TT me 02:27, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

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?
 * It's possible that I'm misunderstanding this, but I would think that in general, articles that pass SNGs would be patrolled, but that there are cases where this wouldn't nessecarily be enough (such as NFOOTY)? If I'm not sure about any particular article I could leave it to another patroller or add Template:Notability. Clover moss  (talk) 21:31, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - thanks for pointing out that I did overlook this answer. This is something you'll develop a feel for, and it is a bit subjective, and can change over time. For example, two years ago, NFOOTY was sacrosanct -- you played in a single game, you were deemed notable. That's begun to change over time, with GNG being called into play more often. Some reviewers will mark any article which satisfies an SNG as reviewed, even with a single source. For instance, if an individual meets WP:NPOL, and there is only a single ref to the legislative's body website, that person will probably get marked as reviewed. Personally, I would, but tag it with a "single reference" tag. Or perhaps a "more references" tag or "primary sources" tag, depending on what is contained in the article. GEOLAND is another one, if there is a citation from a census type website.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:21, 27 July 2021 (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 "2028 Summer Olympics" without providing any sources
 * Scenario 1
 * The SNG applicable to this article would be Notability (events). The article being completely unreferenced is a quality issue, so I would add Template:unreferenced. I think that this article would be notable because Olympics usually have lasting importance and a large geographic scope because there are international competitors. However, if the year was really far into the future (e.g. 2040 Olympics), I would nominate it for AFD because Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and an article on it would pretty much be original research at this point in time. Clover moss  (talk) 21:53, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - although since it's unreferenced, I would redirect it to the main Olympics games page, and give an edit summary of something like, WP:TOOSOON, redirect until sourcing becomes available.  Onel 5969  TT me 02:24, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

A New York city based 2020 start up software company, specializing in data mining, has just received a USD 200K investor fund.
 * Scenario 2
 * From this context, I don't think this passes WP:CORPDEPTH. Investors aren't considered secondary sources, so unless this company has recieved significant, non-trivial coverage from independant and reliable sources, I don't think that this would be considered a notable article. Clover moss  (talk) 01:16, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - another thing to look at when evaluating corporations (or organizations) is WP:CORPDEPTH, which has to be met and simply means that the coverage has to go beyond local sources.  Onel 5969  TT me 02:24, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Movsar Evloev who is a Ultimate Fighting Championships fighters with the undefeated mixed martial arts record of 12-0.
 * Scenario 3
 * The applicable SNG for this article would be Notability (sports). I think that this article would pass SPORTCRIT because the Ultimate Fighting Championships are included as an example for martial arts notability in the WP:NMMA subsection. Clover moss  (talk) 17:21, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ -  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:24, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

An upcoming action drama title "Suleiman the Great" based on the the life of Suleiman the Magnificent, which will be in production in January 2021 and to be released on August 2021 in the cinemas.
 * Scenario 4
 * I do not think this would pass the applicable SNG Notability (films), because it is a future film that doesn't seem to have finished prinicipal photography. Clover moss  (talk) 22:01, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
 * - regarding principal photography, the key is beginning, not ending, so it would pass WP:NFF. However, just because a film has started photography does not necessarily mean it's notable. That being said, the vast majority of time NFF is enough to get through an AfD.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:24, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

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.
 * Scenario 5
 * I do not think that this would pass the applicable SNG WP:NPOL because he is an unelected candidate for senator. If he was actually elected as a state senator, then he would meet that SNG. Clover moss  (talk) 22:01, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - yup fails WP:NPOL.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:24, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

A singer who self produced his first album in May 2019 and his songs are listed in Spotify.
 * Scenario 6
 * I do not think this would pass the applicable SNG WP:NSINGER, if the article is about the person, as simply self-publishing an album on spotify doesn't make someone notable. If the article is about the album, unless it has reached national music charts (which is extremely unlikely), it wouldn't meet that SNG either. Clover moss  (talk) 22:01, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - funny, I've never actually never seen anyone use the NSINGER shortcut (most folks use WP:MUSICBIO, which points to the same policy).  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:24, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * For some reason, I have a tendency to use uncommon shortcuts (another example being WP:ANV). Thanks for grading this section. I was wondering if you noticed my answer to the second question in the first part? I'm worried my understanding of that may be wrong. Clover moss  (talk) 02:50, 27 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Scenario 7

Carlos Alós-Ferrer
 * The SNG that would establish this article's notabilty is WP:NACADEMIC and meets criteria 8, as he is the editor in chief of Journal of Economic Psychology. Clover moss  (talk) 22:07, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:24, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Alistair Overeem
 * Scenario 8
 * The SNG that would establish this article's notability is WP:NMMA as he fought in the UFC and WP:NKICK as he fought in the K1. Clover moss  (talk) 22:10, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:24, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Jennifer Lopez
 * Scenario 9
 * The SNG that would establish this article's notability is WP:NSINGER. Lopez has had at least one single and/or album on a national music chart. Another applicable SNG is WP:NACTOR, as she has starred in multiple films. Clover moss  (talk) 01:34, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:24, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Three Mile Island accident
 * Scenario 10
 * The SNG that would establish this article's notability is WP:NEVENT; this was a significant nuclear accident, with extensive and lasting coverage. Clover moss  (talk) 01:41, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:24, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Persepolis
 * Scenario 11
 * The SNG that would establish this article's notability WP:GEOLAND, as it was populated place and even though it is currently in ruins, notability is not temporary. Clover moss  (talk) 01:41, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:24, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Background for trainees

 * 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. WP:NPPSG may be a useful reference for looking up the reliability of a source that has been discussed before on Wikipedia.


 * You can contact WP:RX if you could not find the sources yourself either on the web due to paywalls or offline-only sources.

Exercises

 * 2.


 * 3.


 * 4. Please explain in your own words why the content claimed needs to be verified?
 * Verifiability is one of our five pillars. Content needs to be verifiable to make sure it isn't original research and as proof to show that it's not just something you made up (like a hoax or misinformation). This is especially important in regards to biographies of living people. Clover moss  (talk) 22:51, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 23:38, 20 August 2021 (UTC)


 * 5. Could we use Wikipedia as the source? and why?
 * No, because Wikipedia is a circular reference. We'd also want to avoid using wesbites that mirror Wikipedia. However, if you wanted to do something like include some content from a related article into a subsection, like (e.g. this subsection Menstrual cycle from Menstruation), you would want to follow Copying within Wikipedia. Clover moss  (talk) 22:51, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - although the biggest reason is not circular, but because WP is not a reliable source, since it has no editorial oversight.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 23:38, 20 August 2021 (UTC)


 * 6. Give an example and explain why a source is reliable but not independent of a subject?
 * A verified social media account from the article subject that says that they idenitfy as non-binary and prefer they/them pronouns; that information would be reliable, but it wouldn't be independant. Clover moss  (talk) 23:54, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * ❌ - social media is never reliable. However, there are lots of other types which fall into this category. Some would be a website for state legislature, being used in an article about members of that legislature. Company websites. Even newspapers can fall into this category in certain situations, for example, the New York Times writing a newspaper article about a business based off of a press release or an interview with a company officer, rather than based off the staff writer's own thoughts and research.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 23:38, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
 * To clarify, I meant only using social media in the context of WP:SELFPUB. I know it isn't a reliable source for pretty much anything else. Clover moss  (talk) 00:40, 21 August 2021 (UTC)


 * 7. Give an example and explain why a source is independent source but not reliable?
 * A tabloid's content about a celebrity would be considered an independant source, but it would also be an unreliable source. Clover moss  (talk) 23:54, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - other examples could be blogs not by the article subject.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 23:38, 20 August 2021 (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.

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.

Questions
Describe the steps you should take when assessing whether an unfamiliar source is reliable.
 * Question 18
 * There are several factors to consider. Some key words to look for would be something like "blog" or "press release" somewhere on the site. Things published via some form of wordpress are usually self-published, so I'd avoid sources like that. Ideally, I would want something with some sort of editorial board or peer review, which are something that reputable media sources or published journals typically have. If I'm using an unfamilar source, I'd search for information about the website. For example, earlier today, I cited a statement to the RNZ. I looked it up because I was unfamilar with it and found out that it was the website for a public broadcaster in New Zealand. If I'm ever unsure about the reliability of a source or it seems somewhat borderline, I would search whether or not it is on the Reliable sources/Perennial sources list. If I'm still uncertain after all of that, I'd err on the side of caution and just not use whatever I'm looking at as a source. I could also try posting at the Reliable sources/Noticeboard. Clover moss  (talk) 02:06, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - a good way to find out the editorial policies of a website is to take a look on their website in the "about" section, but that's only a rudimentary check. Another good source to use is New page patrol source guide (WP:NPPRS).  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:45, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Source assessment

 * 19. One last thing before we move on to the next section. This is just to get you used to identifying sources at a glance, and not having to look them up anywhere. So without going to any of the resources such as WP:RSP, WP:NPPSG or WP:RSN, assess whether the following sources are reliable. If you are totally unfamiliar, go to  their WP page, to see if they exist. In responding, please be as possible as to why you derived your conclusion. Feel free to offer topic-scoped assessments such as "likely reliable for claims related to pop culture" or "reliable for non-political subject matter".


 * A. The Moscow Times
 * I'm unfamilar with this one, so I looked up the Wikipedia page. It appears to be a reliable source as it's a reputable newspaper. Clover moss  (talk) 20:34, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:45, 19 September 2021 (UTC)


 * B. USA Today
 * I'm somewhat familar with this source. I think it'd be reliable for the most part, but I'd be careful in using it in regards to anything regarding biographies of living people because stories about celebrities can be sensationalized. Clover moss  (talk) 21:34, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

 * C. The Hindu
 * Is a reliable Indian newspaper. Clover moss  (talk) 21:34, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * - You have to be careful of Indian newspapers, as they tend to suffer from churnalism. Especially for business and celebrity articles. Many times they will simply take press releases and regurgitate them as actual news articles.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:45, 19 September 2021 (UTC)


 * D. Anadolu Agency
 * Not a reliable source. I'm unfamilar with the source, but the impression I recieved by looking at the Wikipedia article is that it's controlled by the Turkish government and used for propaganda. Clover moss  (talk) 21:34, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:45, 19 September 2021 (UTC)


 * E. Popular Mechanics
 * Is typically a reliable source because it is a reputable magazine. There is a criticism section on the Wikipedia page involving an article about a UFO in 2020, so it wouldn't be reliable if you were citing that specifically. If conspiracy-theories/pseudoscience continued to be perpertuated in the future, I wouldn't consider it reliable. Hopefully this was just a one-off situation sort of thing.

 * F. South China Morning Post
 * I would consider it to be a reliable source for the most part, but I'd avoid using it a source for anything about politics since there's been concerns about its political coverage no longer being independant since the 2016 change of ownership. Clover moss  (talk) 21:58, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

 * G Seventeen
 * It's part of a mainstream media company, but I can't think of a situation where it would be an appropriate source to cite in an encyclopedia. The cover page of the magazine in the article includes a headline called "Clear skin in one week" which sounds dubious and definitely wouldn't be what's needed (medical references and not some "quick fix") in an article about something like acne.

 * H. Egypt Today
 * I'm not sure as I'm unfamilar with the source and the Wikipedia article is quite sparse. It was banned in 2005 but had an active circulation still in 2013? Was that international circulation, or was the ban lifted? I'll likely start a discussion on the talk page about that. I will say that government censorship of independant journalism in certain countries is an unfortunate reality, so it'd likely be a more reliable source compared to something like Anadolu Agency.

 * I. Xconomy
 * I'm unfamilar with the source, but from what I can tell from the Wikipedia article it seems like it would be typically reliable. If I was citing a source I'd still look for whether or not it is a press release or there is some form of COI, because that seems more common in anything business-related. Clover moss  (talk) 21:58, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * ❌ - It's a PR mill. You have to be very careful with trade publications. Usually unreliable, but can be used in some very specific situations.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:45, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

 * N. The Daily Californian
 * It's a student newspaper, so the only reason that I would think it would be relevant to cite it would be as a primary source for the University of Berkeley. It's possible I'm wrong about this, but I'm under the impression that you should generally avoid citing student newspapers for anything else. Clover moss  (talk) 22:26, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - student publications, even when they read "independent" are rarely considered independent. For instance, in this case, they say they are independent, but take funding from the university. They can be used for certain instances, but never for notability, or for claims which are subject to intepritation (e.g. "best hostel", "first fraternity...", etc.).

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: I don't think this article title would need to be changed. There doesn't seem to be a name he is more commonly known by. Clover moss (talk) 01:08, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * ❌ - WP:COMMONNAME is the over-riding emphasis in title names, think of Cher, Madonna, Pele, and Caligula. Hannibal is used in the 3 sources given, is WP:CONCISE, and is supported by the topic-specific naming convention WP:SINGLENAME.Sometimes the most common name is a phrase, like Alexander the Great.  And then there are folks who are known by their nickname or stagename, like Haystak.  If there is an issue with disambiguation, like Ronaldo (Brazilian footballer), you still use the single name, and handle it with a dab. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 11:51, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * To clarify, the article title should be Hannibal, then? And then there would be a Hannibal (disambiguation)? Clover moss  (talk) 14:56, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, the article title should be Hannibal (and is). On that page there is a hatnote to not only the dab, Hannibal (disambiguation), but also to Hannibal Lector (although in my opinion the hatnote to Lector is not necessary.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 16:46, 21 September 2021 (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: I would keep the article title as it is, even though I'm more hesistant in regards to articles about athletes using nicknames (because they aren't always widely known by the same nickname by everyone/or could have mutiple nicknames), but he seems to be widely known by this nickname enough to count as a commonly recognized name (even the Encyclopedia Britannica article title uses it). Clover moss (talk) 01:08, 20 September 2021 (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:
 * I think that the second sentence in the second paragraph might be considered original research because it is offering an interepration of what is happening in the source. The rest of the paragraph seems to be fine, although in general I'd avoid using Fox News as a source (but since Reliable sources/Perennial sources says that it's generally reliable outside of science and political topics, it should be fine here). The last paragraph is completely uncited and could be challenged as potentially controversial, so I'd remove it and ask the person who wrote it to add a citation to a reliable source. If it is true, "bedded" should be removed in the text, per WP:EUPH. Clover moss  (talk) 02:26, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - The first paragraph is fine. The second isn't original research (remember, we WANT editors to put the information they get from secondary sources into their own words), but you are right, their interpretation does make it unsuitable, but due to NPOV.  Yes, you could (and should) remove the last line, and then as per WP:BURDEN, it should not be re-added without a reliable source.

'''4. 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)'''

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:
 * So the address and the phone number shouldn't be there per WP:BLPPRIVACY. I'd remove it then send an email to the email address listed at WP:OVERSIGHT regarding the edit that added that information. Everything else content-wise seems fine. Clover moss  (talk) 01:21, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Images copyright
'''Please read Image use policy and Public domain image resources. Please answer the questions below and (1) provide an explanation based on Wikipedia guidelines and (2) provide the guidelines/links in your answer.'''

'''5. Could this image-1 be uploaded into Main Page and used in Wikipedia? and why?'''

Answer- Explanation: Yes, I think so, because according to this ; images from the Department of Defense are under the public domain unless noted otherwise, and I'm not seeing a noted otherwise. But this looks like it can be more complicated than just being in the public domain, so I'd personally be cautious. I'd likely ask someone at WP:MIL first, because they're more likely to be more familar with the nuances that might be involved. Clover moss (talk) 00:55, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Answer - link/guideline: Image use policy. Clover moss (talk) 00:55, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - Any image from any US government agency is in the public domain and is safe to use. This is not true of other governments, but it is in the US. That additional info isn't about it being in the public domain, but how it can be used. My understanding of it is that while I could use the pic in an article, or the main page, I couldn't use it an advertisement for Wikipedia.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 12:11, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

'''6. Could this image-2 be uploaded into Main Page and used in Wikipedia? Why?'''

Answer- Explanation: Yes, I think so, because FreeImages contains files that are freely licensed and does not restrict commerical use. Clover moss (talk) 04:10, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Answer - link/guideline: Image use policy. Clover moss (talk) 04:10, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

'''7. Could be uploaded  into Main Page and used in Wikipedia? Why?'''

Answer- Explanation: Yes, because this image is in the public domain. Also, images on Wikimedia Commons are all freely-usable. Clover moss (talk) 17:41, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Answer - link/guideline: Image_use_policy. Clover moss (talk) 17:41, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

'''8. Could this image-4 be uploaded into Main Page and used in Wikipedia? Why?'''

Answer- Explanation: No, because it doesn't seem to be freely-licensed or in the public domain. Clover moss (talk) 04:20, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Answer - link/guideline: Doesn't meet Image use policy. Clover moss (talk) 04:20, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - the site clearly shows a copyright, so no, it is not usable as a free image.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 12:33, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

'''9 Certain types of images are a giveaway of COI and/or paid editing, despite not being direct violations of our image policies. Can you guess what kinds of images these are?'''
 * I would assume that "official" photographs of BLPs would be a red flag for COI/paid editing. Clover moss  (talk) 04:20, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - not just the "official" part of photo, which is a giveaway, but also if the photo in the article was created by the editor. That shows a clear COI, since the editor knows the subject.  And not just in BLPs, but this happens frequently in corporate articles as well.  Nice job on this section.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 12:33, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Neutral point of view
'''Please read WP:NPOV and MOS:PUFF. Point out the WP:NPOV words/pharses and rewrite the paragraph in Questions 9& 10 from a neutral point of view.'''

'''10. 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. Her talent and marketability made her a fighter to watch right out the gate and she fought under XXX promotion on her next fight on February 2014.'''
 * How I would rewrite the text:
 * She is a brilliant boxer. She became a professional boxer when she was 19 after winning an amateur fight on December 14, 2013.
 * Why I would rewrite the text this way:
 * "Rare and exceptional beauty" is subjective. I'm not sure why a brand promotion would be relevant; it seems unneeded, especially without context. "Talent and marketability made her a fighter to watch right out of the gate" is also subjective and the kind of thing you'd want to avoid when writing for an encyclopedia. Clover moss  (talk) 04:56, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅, although I would also remove the "brilliant", as it is purely subjective (unless it is part of a quote, and attributed). You might also leave in the 20 seconds part (without, of course, the "destroyed").  Something like, "...after winning an amateur fight in 20 seconds on ..."  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 12:43, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with removing the brilliant part, I meant to but I must have forgot. Thanks for the suggestion about the 20 seconds part, that's not something I would have thought of. I don't know much about boxing, but times seem to matter for most sports, so I can see why it would be important. Clover moss  (talk) 22:15, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

'''11. He is a popular, acclaimed Bulgarian actor, who loves by all who have watched his films. He was born in Veliko Tarnovo and started working in the film industry since he was at the tender, innocent of the age of 14 and he has featured in 44 films.''' Answer:
 * How I would rewrite the text:
 * He is a Bulgarian actor. He was born in Veliko Tarnovo and started working in the film industry at the age of 14. He has featured in 44 films.
 * Why I would rewrite the text this way:
 * "Loved by all" isn't neutral; "tender, innocent age" is unnessecary. Clover moss  (talk) 02:45, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - spot on.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 12:43, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

12. 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: Due weight is essentially making sure an article doesn't have content containing fringe theories that contradict what the majority of reliable sources say (e.g. you wouldn't write about the "benefits" of homeopathy in medicine because of WP:DUE, WP:FRINGE and WP:MEDRS; but you would eventually get to homeopathy by going to the see also section and reading through alternative medicine. There, you'd get encylcopedic information about it as a form of pseudoscience). Clover moss (talk) 22:30, 14 November 2021 (UTC) --

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

13. In your own words, why is Wikipedia not a platform for publishing original research?

Answer: The best way I can think of explaining this is that Wikipedia is not a platform for publishing original research because that isn't what an encyclopedia does. There's a lot that goes into this, but part of it is making sure you're not intrepetrating a source or making essay-like arguments and you're just summarizing what reliable sources say in your own words. Clover moss (talk) 22:49, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - it's also a core part of WP:VERIFY, after the material is summarized, it should be footnoted.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:21, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

14.  In your own words, please provide one example with explanation when it is appropriate to insert an original content or synthesis in an article.

Answer: As far as I'm aware, it wouldn't be appropriate to insert original content or synthesis into an article. Unless original images are included under what is meant as original content (as well as everything else in the What is not original research section of WP:OR). According to WP:IMAGEOR, original images are fine as long as they don't include original research themselves and the images are relevant to the article in question. Clover moss (talk) 22:49, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
 * - this one is tricky, since, since WP:OR is pretty explicit. However, there are certain instances when what would normally be considered original research isn't. You nailed it with original images, as they are not considered OR.  Also, routine calculations would fall into this category (although this is a sticky one, as one person's definition of "routine" might not be another's -- it's one of the reasons I usually leave reviewing math/physics articles to others).  Also, translations from a foreign language are not OR.  Finally, and this is the biggest one, are plot summaries for films/books/tv shows, etc. As per MOS:PLOT, summarized plots do not need to be referenced.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:21, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

15. See this video and write an article paragraph that properly presents claims supported by the source. Assume that Alsuleiman's opinions are DUE for inclusion as part of this response.'''

Answer:
 * I'm having a hard time with figuring out what I should write here. I think part of that has to do with how I'm not used to summarizing a video/interview source. I'm assuming I would start with something like "according to Alsuleiman" since at least in the religions I'm more familar with people tend to have different theological stances in regards to different issues. Or would you suggest a different approach? Clover moss  (talk) 18:36, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
 * No, that's exactly right, it would begin with "according to Alsuleiman" then you might include what Alsuleiman's credentials are, if he hasn't been discussed in the article already.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 22:02, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

Verifiability
Please read WP:V and answer the questions below


 * 16. In your own words, why does content in Wikipedia need to be verified?
 * Verifiability is important because it proves that content has some basis in reality and isn't just something that someone made up. Content on Wikipedia needs to be verifiable because this is an encylopedia, which is a tertiary source of information. Being able to cite reliable sources is important in general, but even more so when that content has real-life ramifications like biographies of living people and world events. It would also be impratical for Wikipedia to even exist as a community of crowdsourced editors without a policy like verifiability because it would prevent people from effectively working together. If anyone could write original research into an article (which is something that Wikipedia is not for), it'd be hard to find consensus on what should even be in an article in the first place. Clover moss  (talk) 01:07, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅ - nicely done.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 09:55, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

'''17. Three independent, reliable sources say that a subject has 2 sons, but in reality he has 3 sons. Could we change the content from "2" sons to "3 sons"? Why?'''
 * If reliable sources only say that a subject has 2 sons, then no, the content cannot be changed to 3 sons. If this article was about a living (or recently) deceased person, I'd say that saying that the subject has 3 sons would violate WP:BLP because the information is contentious, unsourced, and directly contradicts cited reliable sources. Clover moss  (talk) 01:18, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅ - excellent.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 09:55, 15 April 2022 (UTC)


 * 18. Looking at Saint-Germain River, the article cites two references. Please explain if you feel that the information in the article is acceptable as per WP:VERIFY.
 * The first source would not load for me, but I was able to access the second source that was cited. As far as I can tell, the content in that sentence is verifiable. At least the year is. However (I might be overthinking this), I'd likely be hesistant to add specific month-day-year written out if it it's not clear from the source if that how the numbered format is intended to be percieved. Clover moss  (talk) 01:32, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * - It's a shame #1 would not load for you, since that was pretty much the purpose of this question. It's a link to an interactive map, which you then need to manipulate in order to research the river. Therefore, it would not meet WP:VERIFY.  You need to be able to click on the source and go directly to the information cited.  So for instance, there might be a link to a pdf file which is 400 pages long, if there is no page # in the citation, it does not pass verify. In this case, the link is to the database, but does not bring up the information in the article.  I used this example on purpose, because this was a big discussion amongst several NPP editors, so it's perfect for Verify. The info verified in citation #2 can remain, but all else should be removed.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 09:55, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Filtering - Criteria for speedy deletion
 PART 2 


 * We have looked at the requirements needed for a page to meet notability guidelines, content policies and the types of sources needed 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.


 * Please do the following


 * 1) Please set up your CSD log by installing MYCSD so that I can review your CSD nominations. After saving, you have to bypass your browser's cache to see the changes - see instruction at Bypass your cache.
 * 2) * I think I did this correctly. You can see it at User:Clovermoss/CSD log. I had some manually before I did it through Twinkle but iirc they were mostly blatant G11s. In general I don't have much experience with CSDs, although I'm aware of a lot of the criteria through my CVUA training: User:Girth Summit/CVUA/Clovermoss. Clover moss  (talk) 23:24, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Bookmark Earwig's Copyvio Detector in your computer.
 * 4) * Bookmarked and I have an easily accessible link on my userpage. Clover moss  (talk) 00:20, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 5) Install CV-revdel. After saving, you may have to bypass your browser's cache to see the changes - see instruction at Bypass your cache.
 * 6) * I'm not sure I did this right: . The line of thinking that I had is that I would want to add it on top of the CSD log code so that both would work, but I'm not sure if that's what I was supossed to do? Clover moss  (talk) 01:30, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

General criteria

 * 1. Please review (G1-G14) at General and answer the following questions in your own words. When providing examples, be specific

Article and redirect criteria

 * 1. Please review A1-A11, R2, and R3 criteria at WP:CSD and answer the following questions in your own words. When providing examples, be specific.

Live CSD practice

 * Please read WP:PROMOTION and WP:G11 and provide 5 successful CSD 11 articles you have nominated from Special:NewPagesFeed (New Page Patrol section). Please provide the article names and I will check them at your CSD log. Don't rush this, but when you have 5, I'll check.
 * I just wanted to say that I have been checking the New Pages Feed somewhat frequently. My perception of somewhat frequently is once or twice a day since this section started. I haven't noticed any blatantly obvious G11's yet (the ones I've noticed in the past have always been in userspace, not mainspace). I will say that I have found the New Pages Feed interesting. I've been watchlisting certain new articles to see if my accessment of certain situations is correct. But I'm also just cautious in general. I appreciate the "don't rush this advice", I just wanted you to know that I'm taking it into consideration. Clover moss  (talk) 00:25, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Copyright violations

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

Pages can be nominated for G12 if it's been a copyright violation from the start. A related file CSD criteria would be F9. Revision deletion is for copyright violations that are contained within certain diffs. Revision deletion is also used for other things, but revdel for copyright violations is the only one that can be requested through Twinkle's interface. Clover moss (talk) 20:32, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * 2. When do we nominate a page for WP:G12 and when do we WP:REVDEL the COPYVIO text?
 * ✅ - remember that when you request a revdel, it has to go all the way back to when the copyright material was added, to the most current edit. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 10:43, 12 June 2022 (UTC)


 * 3. What constitutes copyright infringement/violation. Please give 5-8 examples
 * 1) Directly copy-and-pasting content word for word

 * 4. What are some examples of cases where it is ok to have exact copies of text from sources in an article? Please provide three examples.
 * 1) Brief quotations that can't be paraphrased and where it's important to preserve the wording of the original text. It should be clear that these are quotes, using quotation marks or  with a citation.
 * 2) Copying content between articles, as long as it isn't a WP:POVFORK and is properly attributed by following the instructions at Copying within Wikipedia.
 * 3) Facts like "Justin Trudeau was the 23rd prime minister of Canada" or "the sky is blue". But anything that can be considered a creative idea like  "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously",  must be cited.
 * 4) Re-using text that's in the public domain, as long as it is properly attributed


 * ✅ - also, on your first one, quotes need to be footnoted. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 10:43, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

Copyright violations need to be removed from Wikipedia because that's legally important. Copyright violations are unlawful in jurisidictions that care about intellectual property. These inner workings of what exactly constitutes a copyright violation can vary because of that (such as when something qualifies for the public domain, whether you can take a picture of building at night, Fair dealing compared to Fair use, etc). My understanding is that content hosted by the WMF needs to follow American laws, yes? That's why we're able to host a picture of the Eiffel Tower at night in that very article (WP:DERIVATIVE)? As for the who, it's the community, isn't it? Obviously admins are the only ones who can actually perform certain actions like revision deletion and page deletion, but we can do stuff through the CSD process and requesting revdel for copyright violations through Twinkle. My understanding is that in certain cases WMF staff will take office actions regarding copyright violations but that doesn't typically happen. But as for the "lawfully taking place" part, we're not lawyers or able to give legal advice per the legal disclaimer, so that wouldn't really be anyone, would it? Clover moss (talk) 12:39, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * 5. Why do copyright violations need to be removed from Wikipedia and who determines when a violation is lawfully taking place?
 * ✅ -- you have a very nice grasp of the importance of Copyvios and revdels. WMF and WP have different standards, but they are similar.  Since WM is headquartered in the US, the overriding law is U.S., but as per WP:COPYRIGHT, "Wikipedia contributors should respect the copyright law of other nations, even if these do not have official copyright relations with the United States."

Answer: The most common reason someone would use R2 is when new articles are "draftified" by being moved from mainspace to draftspace. Since there shouldn't be redirects from mainspace to draftspace, R2 can be used on the remaining redirect. My understanding is that if someone has the pagemover userright, they can actually surpress this redirect as a result of a page move and prevent the need for this. Other situations you could use R2 involve cross-namespace redirects from mainspace to elsewhere (like userspace) although there's some exceptions to keep in mind there. Category:Cross-namespace redirects lists examples of allowable cross-namespace redirects. Clovermoss 🍀 (talk) 22:04, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 8. Please 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?
 * ✅ - yes, when you have the pagemover right, you can choose not to leave a redirect behind. The two tools that NPPer's can use to draftify are very handy.  But this is the biggest use of R2. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 22:18, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Answer v any criteria: Root Of Darkness (A3). I was cautious especially because of your recent advice about waiting but I looked at WP:A3 and I think what I did was okay in this context. The article consisted of the title and an external link about a half hour after creation and the note at A3 says "though there is no set time requirement, a ten-minute delay before tagging under this criterion is suggested as good practice". Clovermoss 🍀 (talk) 22:04, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Conflicts of interest and paid editors

 * Please read WP:NPPCOI, WP:COI and WP:PAID and answer the following question

Answer: That's a complicated question. Some tells can be quite obvious (e.g. language like "we're the best xyz company", referencing a lot of company publications, information they aren't likely to know unless they know the subject of the article). However, my understanding is that it's not always that easy to tell. I've never really been that great at it but I've got the impression that this sort of thing become easier with time and experience (but also that it's kind of an evolving process because COI/PAID editors can change their stradegies). It's important to recognize because undisclosed paid editing is against our terms of use. Some more nuanced tells might be creating an article immediately after being granted autoconfirmed so the AfC process can by bypassed or an article that "seems to be good to be true". At the same time, I don't want to be making unnessecary accusations. Wikipedia has been around for longer than I have been alive and people aren't always clueless. So in general I tend to leave anything that seems off but in a way I'm not quite sure why to more experienced reviewers. I doubt I'm anywhere near ready to investigate something that's complicated like this. Clovermoss 🍀 (talk) 16:00, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 11. How do we spot a COI/PAID editor?
 * ✅ - it is hard. And I am not the best at it either.  I probably draftify several every day for COI/UPE, but that's out of the hundreds I look at.  The biggest key, and this is something I don't normally publish on WP, for I don't want UPE/COI editors to get hints at how to evade detection, is the photo.  First, if the article creator has uploaded the photo, COI/UPE.  Sometimes it turns out that the editor is simply a fan who took the photo at a public event, but you can usually tell those.  Usually, it is someone connected to the subject of the article. Whenever I draftify those, I make sure I put "Segregate UPE/COI" in the edit summary.  Lately, UPE/COI editors are catching on, so they will create a separate account, upload the photo, then add it to their article.  So I check the photo history and see if the photo was uploaded during the time frame the article was created.  If so, UPE/COI.  Those are the easy tells, after that, it is the behavior and verbiage you note above that are relied on. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 18:49, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Answer: Personally I skip over reviewing articles like that when I notice them because I'm worried that maybe there's something like covert advertising I'm missing, it just seems better to leave that to a more experienced reviewer in regards to those concerns. However, if I was to do something like this, there are several things I would likely keep in mind. It would be really important to take a detailed look at the references (sometimes they don't even mention the subject per Articles for deletion/Nithra Apps). Another thing to look for would be if the page would qualify for G11. If it doesn't and it's about a company or service (like a lot of COI articles are), try to determine if it's likely to meet WP:CORPDEPTH. If it's notable, I could use. If it's not, I could try PROD or AfD. I can also place on the creator's user talk page. Clovermoss 🍀 (talk) 18:22, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 12. What should you do when you review an NPP article and notice the creator is a COI editor?
 * ✅ - There is nothing wrong with your approach above. Personally, I always draftify COI editing. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 20:29, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Answer: Similar to the COI example above, but again, I would very likely leave it to a more experienced reviewer. Something I forgot to mention is that in certain circumstances, starting a thread at Conflict of interest/Noticeboard might be warranted. As for paid editors, if I suspect undisclosed paid editing, I'd use on their talk page. Similar process to above for G11, checking refs closely, applicability of PROD/AfD,, etc. Am I missing something? Clovermoss 🍀 (talk) 20:55, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 13. What should you do when you review an NPP article and notice the creator is a paid editor?
 * ✅ - Again, there is nothing wrong with your approach above. Personally, just like with COI editing, I always draftify UPE editing.  I use the older draftify tool, and have a series of specialized messages for different types of draftification, including one for COI/UPE editing. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 20:29, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Additional COI practice
For each of the following prompts, identify how likely it is that the described behavior is COI or PAID editing (not COI/unlikely/possible/likely/very likely), as well as what measures would be appropriate to take (both in terms of messages sent to the involved editors and whether to approve/delete/draftify/tag the article). Don't assume any information about the scenarios beyond what is written: if you feel like you would need additional information to provide a proper answer, describe the various outcomes you would consider based on additional hypothetical evidence.


 * 1. An editor makes 10 edits to a variety of articles, then creates an article about an obscure businessperson in a single edit, and does not make any additional edits for 3 months. The article appears to meet notability guidelines.
 * The 10 edits (for WP:AUTOCONFIRMED) and single edit article creation are red flags but usually I'd try to err on the side of assuming good faith. This could potentially be UPE but it may also not be. In this situation, I'd likely closely check refs to see if they're actually WP:SIGCOV (since it appears to meet notability guidelines). I'd also closely watch for promotional language. I'd ask the creator to disclose a connection if they have one. I'd likely leave it for another reviewer but if I notice anything weird I'd post a comment on the talk page. Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 02:55, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * - AGF is all well and good, but this is one of the most clear indications of UPE/COI editing (or socking, for that matter). The single greatest advantage of autoconfirmed is the ability to create new articles, so UPE/COI editors know this and go through the 10 edits in order to get to their main objective.  Your assessment that it could be innocent might be true, but then you add the dead giveaway that once the article is created, the editor goes dormant.  By the way, don't know whether or not I've mentioned this, but if you ever want to go more in-depth about any of the questions/answers/my responses, don't hesitate to take it to the talk page. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 16:11, 16 February 2023 (UTC)


 * 2. An editor with several hundred edits to a variety of topics makes a new article in a small amount of edits about a new TV show. The article is not neutrally written. Since having finished the article, the editor has continued to make a handful of contributions to other articles.
 * I think it's incredibly unlikely that there's a COI connection in this situation. The editor in question likely heard about the new TV show on the news or are a fan of it (which could be why the article sounds promotional). This may be a case where draftifying would be a good idea, encouraging the creator to write with a neutral point of view. Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 02:59, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ - You could also simply tag it for POV and move on. I usually do that, then review again in a week, and at that point, if no improvement has been made, draftify. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 16:11, 16 February 2023 (UTC)


 * 3. An editor makes 10 edits to articles about locations in Georgia, then creates a meticulously sourced article about a species of tree native to Georgia in a single 50,000 byte edit. They have not made any additional edits since then.
 * This is another situation where I think it's incredibly unlikely to be COI/UPE. It just seems like someone whose from Georgia. They may have used preview a lot or written the article off-wiki. My main concern would be making sure there aren't any copyright violations or that it isn't an unattributed copy of content from elsewhere on-wiki. If the article wasn't about a tree but about an obscure startup company, I'd likely be way more skeptical. Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 03:04, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ - yup. Usually this means that they finally came across a subject that really interests them. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 16:11, 16 February 2023 (UTC)


 * 4. An editor with the username "ApuOcalanPKKForever" creates a biography about a Turkish dissident. The article is not neutrally written.
 * This sounds like a fairly clear cut case of WP:G10. Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 03:10, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * - simply tag NPOV. This is not COI.  Not sure why you felt that it was G10 material.  While it may not be neutral, the example did not say it was negative.
 * I took it as negative for some reason. Looking back, I think the combination of that assumption and seeing dissident, with forever in their username, likely prompted to me to think that it was an attack BLP with a political motivation. Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 16:47, 16 February 2023 (UTC)


 * 5. A new editor with the username "BillieFan214" writes a non-neutral article about an upcoming Billie Eilish album. They have not made any edits to other articles since completing it
 * I think it's highly unlikely that there is a COI/UPE connection in this situation. An upcoming album might mean that sources lack significant coverage until it is actually out. I can't tell the future, but she's a fairly well-known musician so chances are that if the sources don't exist for it now, they might later. I might draftify this but I might not depending on the sourcing. If I did, I'd add and leave a comment encouraging the creator to use more neutral language. Hopefully they'd come back to it. I'd watchlist the page to see if anyone continues to edit it and I'd like to think that I'd rescue the draft before G13 applies if adequate sources exists and move it to mainspace (obviously making it more in line with NPOV in the process).  Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 05:02, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ - COI/UPE's rarely use something so blatant. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 16:11, 16 February 2023 (UTC)


 * 6. A new editor with the username "BEOfficial" writes an article about an upcoming Billie Eilish album. They have not made any edits to other articles since completing it.
 * I'd make a report at WP:UAA because their username suggests an official connection with Bille Eilish and this is more likely a case of impersonation than actual COI/UPE. Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 05:02, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * - definitely report to UAA, but this is more often than not a sign of UPE/COI editing. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 16:11, 16 February 2023 (UTC)


 * 7. Over the course of 5 years, an editor writes several articles about a small group of academics and their business ventures. The articles are well-sourced and neutrally written. You've come across their most recent creation, which appears to be notable. Every single article that they've edited in the past five years appears to be somehow related to this group of academics
 * I thought about this one for awhile. I'd likely start a thread at the COI noticeboard outlining my observations with diffs. Something that's been going on for 5 years is a long time and getting second opinions/more eyes on any potentially nessecary cleanup would be a good thing. Out of all the examples listed here so far, I think this is one of the most likely to be UPE, but I'd want an accessment of this particular situation from people more familar with identifying that. Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 21:42, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ - yup, this is the other type of COI editor. More than likely it is someone who has a close connection to the group, and is creating these articles. While not UPE, this is most likely a colleague of those they are writing about, perhaps even one of them. In addition to the COIN report, either tag or draftify (personally I'd draftify, but that's me). Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 22:43, 28 February 2023 (UTC)


 * 8. An editor with several hundred edits to a variety of topics named "Ismail Oyo" makes a new article about a notable businessperson from Nigeria, and claims the photo in the infobox as their own work.
 * The photo in the infobox being their own work strongly implies a COI connection because unless they're lying about the licensing, they likely know the subject in some capacity to be able to take a photograph (unless it's taken at like a public event where the photographer could be among an audience or something like that). There may be UPE involved ("use this photo for my Wikipedia article"). Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 22:01, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * What action, if any, would you take? Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:42, 12 March 2023 (UTC)


 * 9. An editor with 50 edits to a variety of topics is named "StacyRichardson". Included among these edits are the creation of two new articles about businesspeople from Russia. You are reviewing the most recent article, and it does not appear to be notable, although it is neutrally written.
 * Possible COI/UPE, so I'd leave a message at their talk page encouraging them to disclose a connection if they have one. Since the subject does not appear to be notable, maybe try PROD or AFD? Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 22:01, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ - while the Prod/AfD is okay due to the notability concerns, to me the most major concern is the UPE/COI. This is typical UPE behavior.  I personally would draftify it, and mark it as UPE/COI.  Although you could simply add the COI/UPE tag and leave it unreviewed. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:42, 12 March 2023 (UTC)


 * 10. An article is moved from draftspace by an editor with less than 50 edits. Previously, the article had only been edited by accounts blocked for sockpuppeting. The subject appears notable.
 * Well I can't see deleted articles but it could be a recreation of the article by the sockpuppeter. Filing a report at WP:SPI and mentioning the sockpuppeter's and potential sockpuppeter's interest in the subject would likely be a good idea. From a reviewing standpoint, I'd likely want to use G5, right? Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 22:01, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ - although you couldn't G5 it until after the SPI investigation is over and sockpuppetry is proven. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:42, 12 March 2023 (UTC)


 * 11. An article is moved from draftspace by an AfC reviewer with several thousand edits. Previously, the article had only been edited by accounts blocked as NOTHERE. The subject does not appear to meet GNG.
 * The main thing an AfC reviewer is meant to look for is if articles have a decent chance of being kept in an AfD discussion. If I do not think that is the case, I could open an AfD. Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 22:01, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ - You'll get to know AfC reviewers over time. Some I have zero issue with (they can be my wing man anytime Face-smile.svg), others, you'll find that they may have some of their articles AfD'd after they move it to mainspace. And others, who don't last too long at AfC, have a lot of issues. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:42, 12 March 2023 (UTC)


 * 12. An article is moved from draftspace by an editor with a few hundred edits. Previously, the article had only been edited by an account that has been blocked for violating CIVIL. The subject is a borderline case for notability.
 * This seems like a case of WP:DRAFTOBJECT. If it's borderline case for notablility, maybe start an AfD? I try to avoid conflict so I'd probably not do that but I also wouldn't be likely to review it. At the same time, borderline implies that it still fits within the notability guidelines, even if it barely meets that requirement. Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 22:01, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ - simply follow normal NPP procedure. DRAFTOBJECT would only apply if the article had been moved from mainspace to draft to start with, which is not the case in this example. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:42, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Filtering - Deletion policy & other alternatives
In assignment 4, we looked at articles which meetWP:Criteria for speedy deletion (CSD) and which can be deleted promptly after 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 as needed.)

Answer: It's for uncontroversial deletion so I haven't really had a chance to use it that much. Usually at least the creator of the article would object and PROD tags can be removed by anyone. One situation where I could see an author potentially not objecting if they've been on Wikipedia a really long time and articles they created years ago no longer meet certain SNGs like NFOOTBALL. I think another situation I might use it if an article isn't overtly promotional enough for G11 but also clearly does not meet WP:NCORP. Clovermoss 🍀 (talk) 09:27, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * 1. Under what circumstances do we propose deletion (PROD) a page and why do we do that?
 * ✅ - although I never consider whether or not the article creator will object, simply for the reason you spell out above. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 11:17, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Answer: Check to see if the page has been proposed for deletion before because that automatically disqualifies it from being considered an uncontroversial deletion. Something else to consider is whether there's anything about the page that would make its deletion controversial and therefore use a different process like AfD. Clovermoss 🍀 (talk) 09:27, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * 2. What should we do before we PROD a page? And what should be considered during a nomination?
 * - that's part of it. You also need to check to make sure that it's never been AfD'd before (if it has and was deleted, it may be eligible for CSD under G4). You also should check edit history to make sure the page hasn't been vandalized.  This is rare, but it does happen.  For instance, someone writes a short article about someone who clearly passes WP:NSCHOLAR, another editor (usually an ip) comes along and simply re-writes the article about some schmo that lives in his neighborhood.  The revised version is not notable, but the original is.  I also do a cursory WP:BEFORE to see if there is coverage about the subject. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 11:17, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Answer: The main difference between BLPPROD and the PROD process is that BLPPROD requires no sources in any form (external links, etc). So if the criteria for BLPPROD isn't applicable, a regular PROD is one alternative. Another alternative is AfD if there has been a previous contested PROD. I could also improve the article myself if my WP:BEFORE process provides enough reliable sources to do so or place an approriate tag for someone else to do so (and maybe write a talk page comment about the sources I found that may be helpful). If I notice any material that goes against what's written at WP:BLP, I should remove it. Clovermoss 🍀 (talk) 19:54, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * 3. What is the criteria when nominating a BLPPROD? If we choose not to BLPPROD a page what are the alternatives? (give three examples with explanations)
 * ✅ - yeah, it's pretty straightforward. Follow up question - without looking, if an article has been tagged BLPProd, and the tag is removed after a source has been added, can it still be nominated for PROD? Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 16:12, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Answer 4: Articles for deletion/List of incarcerated musicians. I should have likely been more careful in my nomination statement for this one, as I linked the wrong policy shortcut. It's possible that I may have been too broad in my interpretation of WP:BLPCAT but I still think there is some merit to my argument. In a similar situation it'd likely be a good idea to be relatively concise and focus on WP:NLIST, WP:CROSSCAT and WP:COATRACK with minimial participation after that? Or am I being too harsh on myself here? Clovermoss 🍀 (talk) 19:54, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ - Yeah, it's important to be precise in your nominating statement, but I think your interaction with Doomsdayer laid out your reasoning well. When your rationale is legitimately questioned, do not hesitate to respond and expand your position, like you did here. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 16:21, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Answer 1: Jacques Hiron
 * 13. Nominate 2 articles for WP:PROD and state your reasons. Take as much time as you need in order to complete this assignment successfully.
 * ✅ - This is an outstanding prod. This article has been around for 15 years and it took that long for someone to even it tag it for improvement.  A WP:BEFORE turned up zero in-depth coverage of this author. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 11:56, 23 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Seems like we both missed a previous PROD from 2008 in the page history. But if that hadn't happened then yes, I agree that my line of thought was on the right track here. Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 18:31, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, we didn't miss it. The edit summary for the prod didn't mention that the edit was prodding the article. Although the edit removing the prod did mention it. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 17:50, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
