User:Onel5969/NPPSchool/Asartea

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).

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. We will also work at your pace. I'll usually grade your responses the same day (or the next morning), and immediately put forth the next set. If you take a few days to complete a section, or step away due to real life for a week, that's cool. It's up to you. Also, feel free to use this page's talkpage for communication, so comments don't get lost on my talk page (which can get busy).
 * 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.

Strong points
 * 1) CSD's are something I've done quite a few times, although I'm weaker at some of the more notability oriented ones
 * 2) Copyvio detection/cleanup. I've helped out at both WP:CCI and via copypatrol in cleaning up both new and old copyvio.
 * Cool. Don't say you're "weaker" at the notability oriented ones. They are merely tougher for every editor. I know unless an article says something like, "John Q. Smith is an 11th grade student at Xavier High School, and is really cool", they can be tricky. Nice to know about copyvio, we'll get into that in-depth during the course.  Onel 5969  TT me 22:56, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Points for growth
 * 1) Notability, especially SNG's.
 * 2) Source assessment, I know the basis but don't feel confident in the more difficult cases yet.
 * Excellent. Couple of thoughts before we get into the syllabus:
 * Copyvio does look easy, but it's not as easy as it looks. The two areas which make it difficult to me are WP:MIRROR, and Copying within Wikipedia, which we'll go over in more detail during that section of the syllabus.
 * Notability. The cornerstone.  And it will be the first, and most extensive section we go over during this school. There is GNG, and of course those pesky little SNG's. Again, we'll go over this in detail. Remember, while we try to be as objective as possible, there is some subjectivity to this process. Two editors can look at the same sources and reach different conclusions.  During this course, if you disagree with my assessment, I want you to feel free and comfortable with pushing back and asking me to explain in more detail.

Now we begin.  Onel 5969  TT me 22:56, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Notability
 PART 1 

Questions
In your own words, how is notability defined on Wikipedia? The purpose of the notability policy is to provide a basic standard of well notability to ensure enough reliable sources will exists to comply with the RS and OR policies. It also ensures that enough neutral should exist to ensure WP:WEIGTH can be followed in the article. The specific criteria an article needs to comply with to be considered notable are defined in GNG and the SNG policies.
 * Question 1
 * ✅  Onel 5969  TT me 13:50, 26 April 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? No, per WP:NOTGUIDE Wikipedia isn't the place to have how-to manuals. If the article was of suffiecent quality I might check if there is a Wikimedia project which does cover guides (I'm actually not sure) and look into potentially transwikiing the article to that project if one exists.
 * Question 2
 * ✅ - yup, the specific criteria is NOTGUIDE.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:50, 26 April 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
 * Both can be used to establish notability, so its important to check both when reviewing. WP:NCORP is an exception in that the article must meet it even if it meets GNG. WP:NACADEMIC is also weird, since if notability is established under that guideline I believe it trumps GNG's requirements.
 * ✅ - The purpose of the SNG's is to show, in specific regimens, what MAY be notable. You've pointed out the two most notable (see what I did there? ) examples of the tension between GNG and SNG's. WP:NCORP, specifically, WP:CORPDEPTH (which also applies to organizations, including schools), does in practice almost always trump GNG. Contrariwise, NSCHOLAR does trump GNG.  Another one is WP:NPOL, which like NACADEMIC is a subset of WP:NBIO, which in reviewing, if a person meets those criteria, mark it reviewed.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:50, 26 April 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
 * Everything else

Primarily additional considerations that define or restrict the nature of coverage or sources required
 * WP:NCORP
 * WP:NACADEMICS defines the coverage/sources required.

Even mix of the previous two categories
 * WP:NFILM seems to both establish extra criteria and include a hardfail criteria (Films that have not yet have commenced principal photography)


 * ✅  Onel 5969  TT me 13:50, 26 April 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?
 * That even though an article might meet the SNG criteria this does not always mean it will actually be notable. Most SNG's only provide more subject specific criteria that might indicate notability. Its only WP:NACADEMICS I think which has criteria which when met trump any other notability guidelines. -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  08:07, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - also, as I said above, WP:NPOL.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:50, 26 April 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
 * I can't find any specific SNG's for future Olympics. The WP:NOLYMPICS section of WP:NSPORT seems mostly concerned with establishing notability for athletes/nations/events at past Olympics, not future ones. I then checked WP:NEVENT but that seems to mostly repeat the warnings of WP:CRYSTALBALL. I would say Soft fail for SNG, fallback on GNG -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  08:07, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - spot on. Using just SNG's, it doesn't pass. More importantly is the lack of references. I would normally turn this into a redirect.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:50, 26 April 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
 * WP:NCORP doesn't seem to suggest that just getting $200K is is notable in itself and in my opinion it would not be. Since this fails under WP:NCORP it would need to meet the primary criteria of that policy. Since this example doesn't suggest or provides secondary sources or significant coverage, SNG hard-fail, cannot use GNG -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  08:07, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ -  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:50, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Movsar Evloev who is a Ultimate Fighting Championships fighters with the undefeated mixed martial arts record of 12-0.
 * Scenario 3
 * He seems to pass at least WP:NMMA #1 having fought at least three professional fights in the UFC, which is a top tier organization according to WP:MMATIER. SNG pass -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  08:07, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:50, 26 April 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
 * Under WP:NFF this could be notable if they have started principal photography. The future tense suggest not, but on the other hand its April 2021 right now so they might have already done so if they want to have it in the cinema by August 2021. I don't know enough about films to make a guess which way it falls. Based on just this info I would say SNG fail -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  08:07, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - spot on, and this was purposely a tricky one, due to this being April, and the article says that production will begin in January. If there is no sourcing showing that principal photography has begun, then it doesn't meet NFILM, but if there is a source claiming the production has started, even if not stated in the article, it would pass NFILM.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:50, 26 April 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
 * Per WP:NPOL they need to use the meet GNG since they are unelected candidate. SNG soft fail, can use GNG -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  08:07, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - and even be careful of GNG in this instance. Most candidates will not survive AfD, even if there is a lot of local coverage.  Local coverage is to be expected.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:50, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

A singer who self produced his first album in May 2019 and his songs are listed in Spotify.
 * Scenario 6
 * Seems to fail all 12 criteria of WP:NSINGER based on just this info. SNG soft fail, can use GNG, athough based on this info I would suspect they fail GNG as well. -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  08:18, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - spot on.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:50, 26 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Scenario 7

Carlos Alós-Ferrer
 * As a professor falls under WP:NACADEMIC. He is also a editor-in-chief so he also falls under WP:NEDITOR although the criteria layed out there don't really seem to focus on editors? -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  08:18, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:50, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Alistair Overeem
 * Scenario 8
 * Mixed martial artist, so WP:NMMA -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  08:18, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:50, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:50, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Persepolis
 * Scenario 11
 * I would assume WP:GEOLAND? Although a question from me, does world heritage site statisfy WP:NBUILDING #1? Like I would assume so but it only says national level ones -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  08:18, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - although in this instance, WP:GEOFEAT would probably be more appropriate. Which is the answer to your question since NBUILDING and GEOFEAT are the same. All World Heritage Sites are automatically notable, as are all buildings listed on the NRHP.  Listed buildings in the UK are a bit trickier, as they have different classes. In those cases all Grade I buildings are considered notable, and virtually all Grade II* as well.  Grade II, however, does not automatically confer notability, although they almost always pass GNG.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:50, 26 April 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

 * 1.


 * 2.


 * I'm done with this section but I would appreciate if you could give me some more example of primary sources. I was running out of ideas by the end. -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  15:06, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * You gave a pretty comprehensive list. As I said the court transcripts would be one. And you had newspaper interviews, but any type of interviews (magazines, videos from reliable sources, etc.). Those are the only ones which come immediately to mind. When reviewing, if you come across something new reach out to another NPP'er, or post on the NPP Talk page.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 12:45, 27 April 2021 (UTC)


 * 3.


 * 4. Please explain in your own words why the content claimed needs to be verified?
 * WP:V is how we ensure that all information that makes it into a Wikipedia article is actually reliable and true, and how we're able to check for NPOV issues in the original source. Without it Wikipedia would turn into massive amounts of OR and edit wars about whether or not something is true. -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  15:18, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - nicely said. WP:VERIFY is, imho, one of the most problematic areas of WP. There are literally hundreds of thousands of articles, if not millions, that have information which has no sourcing to meet the verify guideline. Verify is subject to secondary and tertiary sourcing. Primary sourcing can also be used in a limited basis for verifiability. For instance, you could use a company website to provide verification of the founding date, etc. But you couldn't use an interview with a rapper/singer to verify a claim that they were a Grammy winner. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 12:45, 27 April 2021 (UTC)


 * 5. Could we use Wikipedia as the source? and why?
 * No, Wikipedia is a User generated sometimes POV website which cannot be relied upon to have fact-checked or have any editorial oversight at all over its content. The only time when it may be appropriate to cite Wikipedia is as a WP:SELFSOURCE (God it looks bleak when its put like that) -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  15:18, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - spot on.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 12:45, 27 April 2021 (UTC)


 * 6. Give an example and explain why a source is reliable but not independent of a subject?
 * A normally reliable newspaper publishes a news article which is essentially just a refurbished press release. The newspaper is reliable in principle but in this specific case they are simply recycling a press release which isn't independent without engaging in editorial oversight -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  15:18, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - spot on, we run into this a lot in Indian newspapers. And I'm beginning to see it frequently in African sources as well.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 12:45, 27 April 2021 (UTC)


 * 7. Give an example and explain why a source is independent source but not reliable?
 * A selfpublished one man blog publishes a blog about a company they have no COI with. They are independt from the company they are publishing the blog post about but since they are a selfpublished one man source they almost certainly lack editorial oversight and fact checking, which makes them non reliable -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  15:18, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - perfect, nice job.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 12:45, 27 April 2021 (UTC)


 * 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.

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.

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


 * ✅ - couple of things, if the VF article was one of only 2, I wouldn't count it. Anonymous sources are problematic. Although in the past 4 or 5 years they've become more and more prevalent. Second, I've notice that several of your responses are the exact verbiage, or very close to another one of the folks who went through NPP school. While it's fine to use other references, I think you'll be better served in the long run if you don't look at the other NPP responses. This part of the NPP SCHOOL is about learning, not about being right. And sometimes you can learn more from an incorrect answer than a correct one. Anyway, that's just my perspective. You're doing very well so far.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 17:15, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Questions
Now that we've covered sources, can you apply your knowledge of GNG and SNGs? 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 13


 * 1) Frank Lloyd Wright
 * Based on what I can see above and a quick skim through its Wikipedia article I'm going to assume The Guggenheim makes him qualify under at least WP:NARCHITECT #4 (and probably also #3, but I can't see that directly from the sources, although "His notoriety and genius inspired countless biographies, several novels and, peripherally, a pop song" makes me suspect it very hard. The text in the sources makes me think he also passes #3 of NARCHITECT. Clearly notable
 * ✅ - meets #1 as well.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:53, 3 May 2021 (UTC)


 * 1) Jordan Lennon
 * Not sure if he's notable. The article as it stands makes me think he hasn't yet produced any significant films not starred in any, which probably means he can't make WP:NACTOR or WP:NFILMMAKER. The sources in the exercise also don't seem enough to make him meet notable. GNG fail, SNG fail
 * ✅ - not notable.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:53, 3 May 2021 (UTC)


 * 1) David Petraeus
 * There doesn't appear to be a SNG for generals (WP:NSOLDIER seems to suggest there used to be something but that it was deprecated). He might meet WP:NPOL having been the director of the CIA? Not sure if that falls under holders of a national office. I'm also not seeing any evidence of meeting WP:NBIO in the sources. Since I think thats all the SNG's he falls under that probably means falling back to GNG, under which he is notable.
 * ✅ - before NSOLDIER was deprecated (a mistake in my opinion), he would have qualified under that. The director of the CIA would not qualify under NPOL, so he doesn't meet any SNG's, but definitely qualifies under GNG.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:53, 3 May 2021 (UTC)


 * 1) Martina Hingis
 * Clearly notable under WP:NTENNIS #3, possibly #6? The book mentions her holding a record, and the context makes me think it would have been recognised but I'm not 100% sure.
 * ✅ - She also meets #1 (it's in the lead), #2 (8-time Fed Cup participant), #5 (although I expected her to have more than a couple of appearances), and #6 with several records. She is not eligible for #4, since that series is for men only.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:53, 3 May 2021 (UTC)


 * 1) Sonny Bill Williams
 * Notable under at least WP:NRU #1, possibly WP:RLN #3?
 * ✅ - yup to both. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:53, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Evaluating sources in the wild
Without consulting any existing Wikipedia consensuses, such as those listed at WP:RSP, WP:NPPSG or WP:RSN, assess whether the following sources are reliable. You may refer to Wikipedia articles for the publications if they exist. Be specific as to how and why you came to your conclusions. Sources are often reliable for some content and unreliable for other content: identify what sorts of articles may have reliable and unreliable coverage from a given source, and consider using examples from their website to illustrate your points. Feel free to offer topic-scoped assessments such as "likely reliable for claims related to pop culture" or "reliable for non-political subject matter".


 * 14 The Moscow Times
 * Based on their Wikipedia article they seem to be a independent newspaper with editorial oversight, so no immediate COI suspicions. Based on a quick skim through a few articles, , and  I'm also not seeing a clear bias against any specific side, and they link to some of their source material, which I always consider a plus. I would say its reliable.
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:36, 11 May 2021 (UTC)


 * 15 USA Today
 * The few articles I skimmed through suggest no apparent COI or POV. Combined with their solid mentions of which sources they used in their articles (especially notable in the racial disparities chart one), their inline notes and from reading their Wikipedia article (" It has been shown to maintain a generally centrist audience, in regards to political persuasion" (further cementing my believe they have no massive POV), "One unique feature of the USA Today editorial page is the publication of opposing points of view; alongside the editorial board's piece on the day's topic runs an opposing view by a guest writer, often an expert in the field" (So their showing different opinions)) all make me think the USA Today is a reliable source.
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:36, 11 May 2021 (UTC)


 * 16 The Hindu
 * Seems reliable. The Wikipedia article mentions it being a newspaper of record, the few article I looked at (,, and  don't seem to show a COI or POV. I would say reliable
 * - be careful of Indian newspapers (as well as African newspapers). They can be subject to churnalism, where they simply regurgitate press releases as news articles. This is very prevalent amongst business and entertainment articles. Outside those topics, they are generally reliable.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:36, 11 May 2021 (UTC)


 * 17 Anadolu Agency
 * Its a state-run news agency, which means it probably has a COI/POV to matters related to politics. Considering its Wikipedia article states "Anadolu Agency is often described as being a propaganda machine for the Turkish government, creating positive stories on Turkey and the Justice and Development Party." I would say its unreliable for anything the Turkish government has a POV on (most things). On the other hand I'm not seeing anything that marks it as immediately suspicious for topics on which the government might not have a POV on (sports as a example).
 * ✅ - almost always unreliable.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:36, 11 May 2021 (UTC)


 * 18 Popular Mechanics
 * I'm not seeing an indication of a COI on their about page nor anything suspicious on their Wikipedia page. There appears to be editorial oversight, and their about page mentions specifically that they check their articles give safe advice. Spot checking a few articles the content appears to be all written by their staff. I would say reliable.
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i>


 * 19 South China Morning Post
 * Wikipedia articles mentions it being the newspaper of record, no indication of COI, article I skimmed seem fine, I would say reliable
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:36, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

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

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

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

Answer:
 * Name needs to be changed to Hannibal per WP:COMMONNAME, Hannibal is the overwhelming common name used. This also complies with WP:CONCISE, and falls under WP:SINGLENAME, which is part of the people naming conventions. While I can see people arguing that Hannibal should instead be an disambiguation page, in my opinion Hannibal Barca is the overwhelming WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  17:13, 11 May 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:
 * Probably okay under WP:COMMONAME? WP:NCBASE states "Nicknames should only be used when a player went by their nickname professionally instead of their given first name." which I can't find in the sources provided, but also states "Informally, the name that appeared on a player's baseball cards should serve as the article's title." which a quick Google search seems to confirm happened. So I'd say keep it where it is, per WP:COMMONNAME and possibly WP:NCBASE if a source can be found to prove he played professionally under that name. -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  17:13, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

'''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:
 * This is a BLP, so the the TMZ and RT sources shouldn't be used to draw content from per WP:BLPRS and even their inclusion is questionable. On the other hand the incident is also covered in the last three sources, which are reliable, so just refactor that paragraph to only draw from those sources. The last paragraph needs to go, its unsourced, which violates WP:BLPRS, negatively written ("bedded") and has WP:BLPNAME issues (it also has a typo, but thats beside the point). I'm also concerned about WP:WEIGHT, cutting out the last paragraph means the bar incident gets the same weight as his entire MMA career which it shouldn't but not much which can be done there without more sources. -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  11:48, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

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:
 * Most of this article seems to be fine, no contentious claims, libel or attack. The phone number and address are a violation of WP:BLPPRIVACY so edit those out with an summary of something like "blp", email Oversight with a link to the page and potentially drop a note on the talk page of the editor who added it after Oversight replies (after just in case someone is watching that talk page so I don't draw attention to the offending content.

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

Answer- Explanation:
 * Probably yes, its a work made by a member of the US military in what I'm guessing is a professional capacity based on the image, which makes it a work by the US GOV, which under US law are ineligible for copyright and therefore PD. -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  07:44, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * - definitely yes. The key is the fact that it's on the US DoD website. All US federal .gov websites are free to use.  But not all .gov, there are some states which retain copyright (like AZ where I live).  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 03:11, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * the reason I included probably and the rest of my reasoning is because their Imagery use page states that "However, some of the DoD VI available on this publicly accessible website may be subject to copyright or other intellectual property rights owned by non-DoD parties, regardless of whether the VI is marked with a copyright notice or other indication of non-DoD ownership or interests. Any use of this DoD VI other than as expressly authorized in this notice may subject the user to legal liability, including liability to such non-DoD owners of intellectual property or other protectable legal interests.",, which seems to indicate to me that there is the possibilty of copyrighted material on that website, even though it is a .gov website -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  11:56, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

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

Answer- Explanation:
 * Well its already on Commons, which makes live easier. As the copyright tag on Commons points out the Pixabay terms of service states that images on Pixabay are released under CC0, and since the source of that image,, was on Pixabay its in the public domain. -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  07:44, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

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

Answer- Explanation:
 * No, the image itself doesn't mention any form of copyright that I can see, at which point we must assume its copyrighted and therefore can't be uploaded to Commons, per c:Commons:Licensing. It could be used on Wikipedia if a user can prove it satisfies the WP:NFCC policy, but I doubt it. -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  07:44, 13 May 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:
 * Because if we allowed OR into articles we would be unable to verify the content, which would mean we would be unable to meet WP:V, and it would allow editors to insert their own conclusions, and therefore their own point of view on a subject, which would make it much more likely that articles would fail NPOV. -- Asartea   Talk  undefined  Contribs  08:02, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Verifiability

 * Because (tying back into the previous section) we would be unable to check if the content is the opinion of every scientist on Earth, or something I just thought up two seconds ago.

This doesn't happen often in NPP (usually its an editor actually looking for bad redirects), but occasionally it will come up at the back of the queue.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:29, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * tag it with a PROD with explanation at first, and if that gets removed without a explanation convincing me I was wrong it was a implausible typo take it to RFD.
 * Hi. While that is certainly acceptable, most NPP reviewers would most likely take it directly to RfD.  Saves a step, and a little bit of time. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:29, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Scenarios
For scenarios 1-3, 9, 11-13, and 15-19 all names are made-up and should not be looked up outside of the training environment; the rest may be searched. These can be broken up into multiple practice sets so as to not overwhelm the trainee.


 * Scenario 1

A user with the username "BobSucks" creates an article called "John Smith" that contains solely the following text: John Smith is the worst elementary school teacher on the planet.
 * Tag with Db-negublp as a negative unsourced BLP, and possibly report the user to UAA as well.
 * ✅ - this is a perfect example of an attack edit/page. It should be tagged G10, or with the template you suggest.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:59, 26 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Scenario 2

A user with the username "GoodTimesLLC" creates a user page with the following text Good Times LLC is an organization dedicated to helping your children get the highest quality education at an affordable price. Visit our website at goodtimes.info and contact us at 123-456-7890.
 * Tag with Db-g11, and report the user to UAA as a promotional account that implies shared use. If it was a bit longer I'd probably also have run a check on it to see if it was copyvio.
 * ✅ - remember, this is regardless of whether or not the organization is notable, so no BEFORE is required.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:59, 26 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Scenario 3

A user creates an article titled "Edward Gordon" with the following text: Edward Gordon (born July 1998) is an aspiring American actor and songwriter. So far, he has starred in many school plays and has published two albums on SoundCloud. He has over 500 subscribers on YouTube.
 * this is tricky, and I'm not sure about this one. In my opinion it does not pass even WP:SIGNIF and I would tag it for A7, but I can see that being opposed.
 * ✅ - definitely A7. If opposed, you can then take it to AfD.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:59, 26 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Scenario 4

A user creates an article titled "Bazz Ward" with the following content: Bazz Ward was a Hall of Fame roadie and I wish he was as well known as Lemmy. Cheers Bazz.
 * No tags are applicable here. The Hall of Fame claim passes WP:SIGNIF, which excludes the notability criteria, and I can't see any other criteria applying (the only other one I could see being argued is A3, but I don't think this passes the criteria for that)
 * ❌ - This is another A7. Do a quick check to see if there is an article about the particular hall of fame. If not, then that doesn't meet significance threshhold. Else someone could simply put that they were in the "Anaheim High School hall of fame", or something similar.  Rule of thumb is that if there is  WP article for the claim, then they might be significant.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:59, 26 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Scenario 5

A user creates an article Marks v. Shoup with the following content: Under the law of Oregon which was in force in Alaska when the seizure and levy of the plaintiff's goods were made by the defendant as marshal of Alaska under a writ of attachment, that officer could not, by virtue of his writ, lawfully take the property from the possession of a third person, in whose possession he found it.
 * This appears to be a direct copying of a part US supreme Court case, which doesn't qualify under G12 as it is in the public domain (per Public domain. I can't see any CSD criteria which would apply.
 * - I would most likely draftify this, especially if there was only a single source. Not every law is notable, and the text does not give any indication that this law is notable.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:59, 26 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Scenario 6

A user creates an article, but you can't understand any of it because it's in a foreign language.
 * Run it trough a machine translation, which should help determine which language it is, and if its an actual article. If it is check if the article exists on that languages Wikipedia. If it does and it duplicates that article tag for A5, otherwise tag with Not English.
 * ✅ spot on.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 02:59, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

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, take all the time you need. When you have 5, I'll check.

Copyright violations

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

Answer:
 * 1. When do we nominate a page for WP:G12 and when do we WP:REVDEL the COPYVIO text?
 * G12 is exclusively for unambiguous copyright violations, where there is no meaningful content outside of the violation and no non infringing revision to revert back to.
 * Revdel is for cases where there is unambiguous copyright violation, but there is either meaningful content worth saving or a non infringing revision to revert to.
 * ✅ - If I review 100 pages a day, there will be at least 5-10 which will fall under this.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:34, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Answer:
 * 2. What constitutes copyright infringement/violation.
 * Copying from a source which is not A) published under a compatible license with Wikipedia's CC-BY-SA 3.0 license where all terms of the license have been complied with, B) in the public domain, or C) the user is copying a short quote from the source, where a inline citation has been provided to the source directly, which is allowed under the non free content policy (although what constitutes a short quote is debatable)
 * - your (A) and (B) are spot on. Not sure what you mean in (C). If there is a short quote, which has an inline citation, that's not a CV. If there is a short quote without a footnote, that would be a CV. This also applies to files.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:34, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Answer i:
 * 3. 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.
 * Copying from a source which is licensed as CC-BY-SA 3.0, where attribution has been provided, usually by template.
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:34, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Answer ii:
 * Copying from a source which is in the public domain, such as a good deal of the US government websites.
 * ✅ - but remember those are federal US government websites. Most US state websites have copyright restrictions.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:34, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Answer iii:
 * Using a short quote to illustrate, attribute or contextualize a point of view, provided it isn't too long and a inline citation to the source has been provided directly after the quote.
 * ✅ -  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:34, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Answer:
 * 6. Why do copyright violations need to be removed from Wikipedia and who determines when a violation is lawfully taking place?
 * Copyright violations need to be removed since copyright is a law, and violations of it are breaking the law. Including these makes redistribution of that page hard/impossible, since anybody reusing would also be violating copyright. It furthermore harms Wikipedias reputation and credibility. Wikipedia in principle follows the laws of the United States of America copyright laws, as that is where the servers that host Wikipedia are located, although per Jimbo Wales we should strive to respect other countries copyright laws as well. The Wikipedia policy which governs this is located at Copyrights.

Answer:
 * 9. 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?
 * A NPP article can be nominated for CSD R2 deletion when it has been moved to another mainspace, usually to the Draft namespace. Pages can be moved to draftspace if there is a potential merit to the topic, but it currently doesn't meet Wikipedia's standards and there is no evidence that an editor is currently actively improving the article, or in cases where the author of the article has a clear conflict of interest.

Conflicts of interest and paid editors

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

Answer:
 * 11. How do we spot a COI/PAID editor?
 * There are a whole bunch of signs to look for. Related usernames are a sign, promotional tone in articles, referring to the subject using the first or second person, GAMING the system, creating a article and then leaving, using high quality images tagged as CC-BY-SA 4.0 own work, which is the default license for commons, using the subject website as a source, using inline external links, perfect articles created in one edit, creating a set of articles on one topic, REFBOMBED articles with redundant sources, and just generally articles that are too good to be true.
 * ✅ - one of the key give-aways is the photos used which are "own work".  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:48, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Answer:
 * 12. What should you do when you review an NPP article and notice the creator is a COI editor?
 * Unsure. WP:NPPCOI says its in principle allowed, on the other hand WP:COIEDIT says "you should put new articles through the Articles for Creation (AfC) process instead of creating them directly", so I'm unsure which one it is. Even if its allowed the article should be closely looked at, as COI often accompanies POV, copyvio, etc.
 * ✅ - cause it is tricky. The first step is to decide whether you think it is UPE, versus simply COI.  If it's UPE, draftify, and modify the standard message to include a UPE concern, which should be addressed. If it's COI, tag it for COI, and NPOV if appropriate, and then evaluate like any other article. You could also draftify a COI article. Depends on the level of POV.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:48, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Answer:
 * 13. What should you do when you review an NPP article and notice the creator is a paid editor?
 * Assuming its been created by them, move it back to draftspace, as WP:COIEDIT states "you should put new articles through the Articles for Creation (AfC) process instead of creating them directly", which they would be in breach of.
 * ✅ - precisely.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:48, 4 August 2021 (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.
 * This is one where I can't give a judgment without further info. Getting exactly enough edits for autoconfirmed, creating an article and then leaving is a sign of GAMING, and obscure businesspersons are a potential COI/PAID target. On the other hand it could also be a newcomer. In order to say something final I would need access to at least a copy of the article + the username of the editor. If the article is not neutrally written/overly promotional, or the username has a link to the subject it is very likely/sure COI/PAID, and I would probably tag it with advert/ G11 depending on the level of promotional, and run it through the copyvio checker. I wouldn't tag the editor, since they aren't actively editing anymore, and there is a low chance the message would be read. On the other hand if the article doesn't demonstrate any of the COI/PAID signs it probably wasn't COI/PAID
 * - I used to simply tag the article as COI, and then evaluate. However, I've come to learn that this is almost certainly a UPE editor, and now would draftify the article.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:48, 4 August 2021 (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.
 * Unlikely this is COI/PAID. Several hundreds of edits to a variety of topics doesn't suggest an attempt at GAMING, and the continued contributions to different articles also doesn't suggest it. I'd look at their previous edits, and if those also have a tendency towards POV I'd leave them a message about NPOV, and tag the article with POV.
 * ✅ - yup, most likely a fan of whatever they are writing about, so they have difficulty maintaining neutrality.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:48, 4 August 2021 (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.
 * Once again 10 edits and then a article is potential GAMING, but all to Georgia could indicate a simple interest in that topic area. A creation of a meticulously article is a sign of COI/PAID, but I'm having a very hard time of thinking of a potential COI in the topic area of tree species native to Georgia. Unless the article is clearly POV/promotional I'd write this of as a new editor simply having read the relevant guidelines and creating a good article.
 * ✅ - yeah, the subject matter also matters. Normally UPE articles are about individuals or companies (although they can be about things like films, books, theories... anything which would benefit from promotion). The fact this was about a plant, most likely means it's just a WP editor learning, and they have an interest in all things Georgia.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:48, 4 August 2021 (UTC)


 * 4 An editor with the username "ApuOcalanPKKForever" creates a biography about a Turkish dissident. The article is not neutrally written.
 * Very likely COI, unlikely PAID. The username + topic + not neutral suggest a COI towards the subject, but its not a topic area in which I would expect PAID edits. Tag the article as POV, and leave a message on their talkpage explaining NPOV and warning them.
 * ✅ - yes, simple case of NPOV.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:48, 4 August 2021 (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
 * Very likely COI, unlikely PAID. The username suggest a COI, and it lines up with the article subject. Tag the article as POV, and leave a message on their talkpage explaining NPOV and warning them.
 * ✅ - tag it POV, UPE's are rarely that blatant.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:48, 4 August 2021 (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.
 * Username is a violation of WP:CORPNAME, so report that to UAA. PAID here is very likely, so warn them for that. Depending on the article content, possibly tag it for G11, and run it trough the copyvio detector.
 * ✅ - spot on.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:48, 4 August 2021 (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
 * Likely COI. The focus on a single topic can be an indication of COI, and academics/business ventures are a topic in which I expect there is COI, and possible PAID. On the other hand if all articles are neutrally written and notable it doesn't look like a promotional effort, which is what I would expect in this kind of scenario.
 * ✅ - 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. Either tag or draftify.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:48, 4 August 2021 (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.
 * Really depends. A quick google search doesn't turn up anything interesting for the username, so I'm disregarding it for now. Unless of course the subject is also called that, in which case it indicates a possible/likely COI. Claiming photo's as own work is a possible sign of COI, but I'd really need to see the photo to make a judgement on it. The article is notable, but I'd need to see it to be able to determine whether or not its neutral or not, which could also make a difference.
 * - this could be a simple case of incorrect licensing regarding the photo (someone taking credit for someone else's work), this is one of the key ways to spot COI.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:48, 4 August 2021 (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.
 * Unlikely COI. Unless I'm missing something the username is unrelated, the articles being spread around topic areas isn't a likely indicator of a COI, unless they're GAMING. Neutrally written also doesn't point to COI. PROD/AFD the article, no action against the user.
 * ❌ - This is another common tactic of UPE editors, selecting what looks like a "normal" name, especially in the high-COI editing area like businesspeople. The other edits are simple smokescreens.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:48, 4 August 2021 (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
 * This is possible sockpuppeting, but I really don't have enough information to make a call on COI or not. I'd probably look at the editing habits of the previous puppets, and consult with a SPI clerk on the likely hood of puppeting.
 * ✅, if the article wasn't moved into draft initially, you could move it back to draft, if there are major issues with it (lack of proper sourcing, NPOV, etc.). If it had already been draftified, then once it's moved back into mainspace you can't move it back. But I'd simply evaluate the article, tag or mark "reviewed" as warranted. But I might also open in SPI investigation.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:48, 4 August 2021 (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.
 * No COI based on this information. Reviewing and moving articles is part of the standard AFC work, and I'm seeing no indication of COI. Whether or not the original user had one is dependent on the type of NOTHERE block, but is irrelevant either way
 * , simply evaluate and tag/review as needed. Even if it was created by a sock or an UPE/COI editor, passing through AfC overcomes that.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:48, 4 August 2021 (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.
 * Basically the same as above.
 * ✅ -  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 01:48, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

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

Please read WP:PROD,  WP:BLPPROD, WP:MERGE, WP:DRAFTIFY, WP:NPPDRAFT and WP:REDIR, WP:AFD and answer the following questions. (Provide links and hisdiff as needed.)

Answer:
 * 1. Under what circumstances do we propose deletion (PROD) a page and why do we do that?
 * PROD is used for uncontroversial deletion, where you do not reasonably expect anybody to object to the deletion. It is used as a less complicated and easier method of proposing deletion, instead of having to take the page to the relevant XfD process
 * ✅ -  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:51, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Answer:
 * 2. What should we do before we PROD a page? And what should be considered during a nomination?
 * Before deletion the user should check it is eligible for deletion under a valid reason and ensuring meets the PROD criteria by checking the page hasn't been recently vandalized and no prior PROD's have been used, it has not been undeleted previously, has never been discussed at AfD/FfD, and is one of the listed types of pages (articles, lists, set indices, disambiguation pages, and files hosted on Wikipedia). During the nomination the user should follow the steps outlined at WP:PRODNOM to propose an article for deletion via PROD (or use Twinkle, which automates most steps)
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:51, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Answer:
 * 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)
 * BLPPROD can be used on BLP's which do not contain any sources in any form supporting any statements made in the article, and where there is no previous better referenced version to revert to. Alternatives to BLPPROD is CSD G10, for fully negative BLP's without any sources, A7 for non-notable BLP's, searching for sources yourself or taking it to AfD.
 * ✅ - remember that this includes external links (like a personal website), and the references do not have to be independent, or reliable. If there is a single ref, you can't BLPPROD.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:51, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Answer:
 * 4. In what circumstances can we nominate an AFD and what step should be done prior such action.
 * AfD is used in cases where you believe the article meets the deletion criteria but you either reasonably suspect objection or such objection has been shown (as an example by removing a PROD tag). Before a deletion the checks at WP:BEFORE should be checked, which includes checking if its eligible for CSD, ensuring no recent vandalism occured, checking the talk page for previous debates, checking if enough time has passed since the last discussion if a previous one exists, checking other languages for potential improvement material, and in cases where sourcing is an issue checking for sources.
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:51, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Answer:
 * 5 How long do PROD, BLPPROD and AFD last before it is deleted or decline?
 * 7 days, although declining can happen at any point for PROD, BLPPROD can be removed once a RS has been added. In certain cases a AFD may be either closed either with a SNOW outcome or via other interventions, and it may be relisted if no consensus is clear.
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:51, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Answer:
 * 6. Suppose a page has been previously BLPROD and a source was provided. If you still think that article should be deleted, what can you do?
 * Take it to AfD, except if a CSD is still applicable, in which case it can be tagged under that.
 * - taking it to AfD is an option, but BLPProds do not count as actual PRODs, so you could prod it. However, I would not recommend that course of action if you've BLPProded something, and a single source is added which does not prove notability, and then going right to prod. I'll do it, but I review from the back of the queue, so sometimes I'll come across an article with 1 or 2 sources, which does not show notability, but it had been BLP'd weeks before and immediately the poor sourcing was added. That's about the only instance I'll follow that course of action.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:51, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Answer:
 * 7. What are the reason to WP:Merge a page to another page?
 * Articles can be merged if their on the same topic, either exactly or with a huge overlap. If the article is very short, unlikely to be expanded it can be merged into a broader topic article, and the same goes for articles which require background context.
 * ✅ - spot on.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:51, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Answer:
 * 8. List 10 reasons we may WP:REDIR instead of deleting.
 * 1) Preservation of edit history, in order to ensure compliance with CC-BY-SA 3.0, which requires attribution
 * 2) Redirecting non notable articles about specific subjects to a broader, notable article (specific examples of this are films (to director), albums (to group), individuals (to organization or company), city departments (e.g. fire, police to city), and non-notable primary schools (usually to the school district or city to which they belong)
 * 3) Cases where the article name is a reasonable search term
 * 4) If the article is old enough redirecting it preserves external links
 * Can't think of any others quickly -- Asartea   Talk  &#124;  Contribs  15:30, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * - here are some others: an article about a non-notable album can be redirected to the artist (like your #2 above); discographies which simply duplicate what's on the artist's page; articles which have been WP:SPLIT from other articles, yet meet neither of the criteria (size or content) for that split; sub-organization of an organization, page has zero independent sources; duplicate article with different prose (a perfect example of this has happened to me a few times when I've created a film article and muffed the title in one way or another, and there was already an article on the film); duplicate article that is a cut-and-paste move (THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE - I do several hundred of these a year); user replaced an existing redirect, new article is not notable; and finally, another big one, is enforcing an AFD that closed as "redirect", and a user tries to recreate the article.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:51, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Answer:
 * 9. Please list the ways that you should search for sources in preparation for a PROD or AfD nomination, including steps which may only be relevant for certain subjects. How does this list change for subjects which are likely to have coverage in languages that you cannot read?
 * Basics: Google, Google Books, Google News and Google news archive. For academic subjects Google Scholar is also useful. For articles which are likely to have sources in another language I would first check if Google turns them up, quickly check them with Translate and in cases of doubt consult a Editor which speaks the relevant language. If I didn't see anything I would also consult another editor, as they might know good sites to check.
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:51, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Answer:
 * 10. When can an article be moved to draft space?
 * Articles may be either moved if they show promise, do not meet the required standard and there is no evidence of active improvment, or when the author has a clear COI.
 * ✅ - not only COI, but also UPE. And remember that this means that an article "may" be draftified, not necessarily "should" be draftified. I rarely draftify articles which are new to mainspace, again, working at the back of the queue, they've usually been tagged for improvement for 1 or 2 months, without improvement.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:51, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Answer 1:
 * 11. Nominate 5 articles for WP:AFD by using WP:Twinkle and provide explanations for your nominations. Take as much time as you need in order to complete this assignment successfully.
 * Sky Hawk International Public School & College, Battagram, the only sources in the article at the time were a duplicate link to what seemed like a index of schools and a link to Google Maps, and I couldn't find any other sources online. Already got nominated previously, but that closed as soft delete, so G4 couldn't apply (I suspect otherwise it might have).
 * ✅ - a WP:BEFORE doesn't show anything promising.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 20:51, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Answer 2:
 * Sir Syed Institute of Learning & Motivation, Battagram, essentially the exact same reason. This one did get deleted via AFD with consencus, but wasn't similar enough for G4. There was a third article related to these, Al Syed Garden Public School & College, Battagram, but that one did meet the criteria for G4.
 * ✅ - a WP:BEFORE doesn't show anything promising.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 20:51, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Answer 3:
 * Articles for deletion/Er Beshi Bhalobasha Jay Na (2nd nomination). Renom of a previous deleted article which didn't meet G4, non notable film as far as I could find.
 * ✅ - although this one is borderline. The 1st source isn't really about the film, the second is a short blurb, and the next two are simply listings from a non-reliable source. The 5th source is actually a nice review, if it had a couple more like that, it would most likely survive AfD. It might still, if someone finds sources in the native tongue, but your instinct to bring it to discussion is valid.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 18:11, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Answer 4:
 * Caja (file manager), see PROD #1
 * ✅ - while the prod might have been premature (but see additional note I added there), this nom was definitely a good one. Will most likely be redirected as an ATD, but if you had done that first, it simply would have been reverted. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 12:58, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

Answer 5:
 * Articles for deletion/List of Internet Relay Chat commands this too is a bizarre one, and probably technically abusing the AFD process for something its not supposed to be used for, which is proposing that something gets transwikied to meta, and then deleted over here, but I couldn't find a better venue. The list right now in my opinion fails LISTN and is a giant piece of CRUFT, but its also linked to in a lot of places as a cheat sheet, which is why I proposed transwiki and or moving to Wikipedia:.
 * ✅ - I think the question of transwiki-ing it is separate from whether or not this list is notable enough to remain on WP. Clearly this does not meet WP:LISTN. And kudos for taking on the not so easy ones.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 23:07, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Answer 1:
 * 12. Participate in 5 WP:AFD that have no votes other than the nominator's statement. Please provide your reason either to delete, keep, redirect or merge.
 * Articles for deletion/Mustafa Duruer. I actually edit conflicted with someone here, but when I started my edit it was still unvoted. Subject is a non notable footballer, with one of the sources in the article not even mentioning him, and I was unable to find any which significantly mention him. In order to meet NFOOTBALL he'd need to have either played a Tier 1 International Match, or a fully professional league. I can find no evidence of the first, and the TFF Second League is not on the list of fully professional leagues
 * ✅ - spot on. You'll see plenty of these (and probably nominate your fair share).  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:10, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Answer 2:
 * Articles for deletion/Steve Vigneault. Non notable MMA fighter. He had one fight in a top tier tournament, which is 2 less than WP:NMMA #1 requires, doesn't meet the other 2 either as far as I can see, and the only news I could find was a mention in a list of top 10 guillotine chokes, and a mention on the UFC's website from said one top tier tournament. -- Asartea   Talk  &#124;  Contribs  08:05, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - again, spot on.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:08, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Answer 3:
 * Articles for deletion/Rupert The Riley (song). Non notable and never released song by David Bowie. Intially suspected it might be a hoax, but the nominator was able to find an tumblr post proving its existence. -- Asartea   Talk  &#124;  Contribs  13:11, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 14:32, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Answer 4:
 * Articles for deletion/Tsing Yi Fishermen's Children's Primary School. Non notable primary school. The article cites a single book which I couldn't find, and I can't find any source online at all mentioning it. As a primary nonprofit school it would need to either meet WP:GNG or WP:ORG, neither of which its even close to meeting
 * ✅ -  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:54, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

Answer 5:
 * Articles for deletion/The Dead Mac Scrolls. Non notable book about repairing a Mac. It gets mentioned a bunch in related software repair books, but as far as I saw they were all quick insignificant mentions, with none of the books I checked having anything in depth about it.
 * ✅ -  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 00:54, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

Answer 1:
 * 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.
 * Caja (file manager), a file manager for Linux which I couldn't find any sources establishing notability for. Contested, and now at AFD.
 * - I think this was too soon to prod the stub. I probably would have tagged it with a more refs notice. It very well might be a candidate for deletion, but I don't have the time to do a proper BEFORE right now. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 14:36, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I want to point out that the reasoning for the prod was sound, it was simply the timing.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 12:58, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

Answer 2:
 * Nathan Bech. This is a bit of weird one, because its an ancient article. On the other hand its also a non notable article as far as I can see, and except one minor edit somewhere in 2020 the last edit to the actual content of the page was in 2014, which is reflected in the fact it uses future tense for things in November 2014 (there have been a lot of automated/semi automated/tool assisted edit, but none I saw actually meaningfully modified the content of the page)
 * ✅ - spot on. Fails NPOLITICIAN. Was probably created as part of his advertising campaign during his 2008 congressional run. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 12:58, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

 * 15.Nominate 2 article for WP:NPPDRAFT and state your reasons. Take as much time as you need in order to complete this assignment successfully.
 * Draft:Vava TV serial, contained no actual prose, only a infobox and a cast list.
 * ✅ - although be careful about draftifying brand new articles, one of the aspects of WP:DRAFTIFY is "there is no evidence of active improvement". You draftified both of these within 3 hours of creation. Some editors might find that too quick on the gun (I for one, don't).  But your judgement was well borne out when they submitted them for approval without improvement.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 20:51, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

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


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

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

Answer:
 * 1. Why do we place tags on the article?
 * By tagging an article we help editors specialized in a specific area of improvements find articles to improve, and alert readers there are potential problems with the article.
 * ✅. It's also to alert the article's creator that there are issues with the article, and give them a chance to improve before the article might get nominated for deletion. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 21:40, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Answer:
 * 2. What does "drive by tagging" mean?
 * Adding tags for non obvious or percieved problems, without identifying the problem well enough that it can be easily fixed by other editors.
 * ✅  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 21:40, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Answer:
 * 3. List 8 common tagging behaviors that should be avoided in an article?
 * 1) Adding too may tags
 * 2) Adding redundant tags
 * 3) Unclear/vague tags
 * 4) Using a tag that isn't actually meant for your concern, simply because you can't find an better one
 * 5) Adding tags which are technically correct, but don't help
 * 6) Adding tags simply to prove a point
 * 7) Adding a very wide tag, without an accompanying explanation
 * I can't actually think of an 8th right now -- Asartea   Talk  &#124;  Contribs  16:43, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ -  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 03:00, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Answer:
 * 4. When is it appropriate to remove the tags?
 * If an editor without an conflict of interest doesn't see the problem, and also can't find an detailed message explaining what is wrong.
 * ✅ - also if you've corrected the issue, e.g. there's a "single source" tag, and you add one or more refs.  Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 03:00, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Communication with editors

 * We are in the homestretch now! 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?
 * Newcomers represent an incredibley important resource, because they are the future of Wikipedia. By assuming good faith with newcomers and slowly and respectfully teaching them about our policies instead of biting them we ensure they'll stay and keep contributing, thereby adding more editors to the site. -- Asartea   Talk  &#124;  Contribs  15:24, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

 * 2. How do we deal with a bad faith registered user and how do we deal with a bad faith IP editor?
 * It depends in both cases on what kind of bad faith we're talking about. Directly vandalising users can be reported to WP:AIV, while more complicated cases are served better by first attempting dispute resolution, and if no other way is possible taking them to WP:ANI. -- Asartea   Talk  &#124;  Contribs  15:24, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ - remember in cases of potential vandalism, there are the vandalism templates, which can be found (along with many others) at Template index/User talk namespace. But templates should only be used with new users. If the user has been on WP awhile, you must be aware of WP:DTTR, in which case a personal message on the user's talkpage is the way to go.

i.  Answer:

 * Try improving a new substandard article, rather than immediately tagging it for deletion.

vi. Answer:
 * When reverting test edits explain what a test edit is and point them to the sandbox, rather than warning them for vandalism.

vii. Answer:
 * Help them with little things, like the way signatures work.

viii. Answer:
 * If a user jumps into a overly complex topic quickly gently help them, rather than calling them stupid.

 * Those are all good, there are others of course, but a simple one which is very frequently overlooked is to leave a welcome template on their talk page. I also try to encourage dialogue by letting them know it's perfectly fine to ask me any question they have about WP.  Finally, there's also pointing them to the WP:TEAHOUSE.
