User:Rosguill/Angus1986 NPPSCHOOL

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

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

This page will be built up over your time in the School, 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.

Notability
 PART 1 

Questions
In your own words, how is notability defined on Wikipedia?
 * Question 1


 * Notability is defined as the method wherein the editors can decide whether an article created on Wikipedia is noteworthy or not. Angus1986 (talk) 08:40, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * And what does notability correspond to in off-Wikipedia terms? In other words, if something is considered notable on Wikipedia, what does that say about its real world existence? signed,Rosguill talk 17:32, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It means that the subject is widely known, and there are people trying to look up the subject on search engines. Also, the subject doesn't have to be universally known, if the subject has importance locally too, it is notable. Angus1986 (talk) 08:05, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
 * ❌, notability on Wikipedia is purely a function of how much has been written about the subject in reliable sources. A subject being well known does not establish notability in the absence of reliable, independent sources writing about them (e.g. a news anchor may be well known despite having very little written about them). While SNGs do sometimes trade on criteria that are equivalent to "well known", in theory SNG are written such that any subject meeting the SNG will have garnered enough coverage to meet GNG. Ultimately, these guidelines exist to prevent us from publishing original research about subjects. How much people want to read an article on this subject should not factor into our decision; if we systematically published articles that fell short of GNG because readers wanted to read them, we would actually be doing our readers a disservice because we would not be able to verify that we weren't writing skewed portrayals or otherwise publishing misinformation. signed,Rosguill talk 17:58, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Alright, so it is not about how viral a subject has been but rather how many "reliable" sources have cited/mentioned the subject. So, in that case a little known mathematician who contributed a lot in his/her field and had won a Nobel prize should have a Wikipedia page, while some famous mathematician in a local town of Sweden who is pretty smart and is well known locally but has no publications or never won any distinguished price, shouldn't have a Wikipedia page, am I correct? Angus1986 (talk) 09:57, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , I think you've got the spirit of it, although this example gets a bit muddled because the subject specific notability guideline for academics, WP:NACADEMIC, is one of the looser ones that we have. I think that a more concrete example would be that a YouTube channel of "chill beat remixes" with 1 million followers may not meet notability guidelines if no reliable sources have written articles about them, whereas a channel with half as many followers but which has been repeatedly covered in NPR, The New Yorker, and The Guardian is notable. signed,Rosguill talk 19:06, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Alright, so what matters is how much the subject is covered in reliable/reputable sources as per Reliable sources on Wikipedia. I will have to review the news sources(which are constantly updated on Wikipedia whether they report genuine articles or fake articles or run by the government). If the chill beat remixes as you mentioned is covered many times in non-reputable or blacklisted sources then that wouldn't be considered, and only the ones which are covered in legit sources should be taken into consideration while accessing the notability of the subject. correct? Angus1986 (talk) 13:32, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Correct. Unreliable sources never count directly towards notability, although they may sometimes serve as an indication that additional reliable coverage exists. For example, a K-pop group getting tons of coverage in unreliable English blogs may be a sign that additional better coverage is available in Korean. signed,Rosguill talk 15:11, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Got it, thank you! :) Angus1986 (talk) 15:27, 1 September 2020 (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


 * I don't believe a step by step instructions on how to "Change a car tire" is considered a noteworthy, it is a narrowed down article which are not independently sourced or widely covered by major reliable news media. It fails to meet WP:GNG. The same reason why a step by step instructions for how to cook "insert a generic food" is not noteworthy as well. Angus1986 (talk) 08:40, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * right answer, wrong justification. Changing a car tire probably has received enough coverage in reliable sources (which are not necessarily news media) to technically meet GNG. Step-by-step instructions fall afoul of WP:NOTMANUAL. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and there are certain types of topics that we are not interested in covering, even if you could construe them as meeting a notability guideline. signed,Rosguill talk 17:32, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Agreed, thank you I need to practice and learn more of WP: GNG. Angus1986 (talk) 08:05, 23 February 2020 (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


 * A general notability guideline applies to all the articles(except the subject-specific lists) that are created by the editors on Wikipedia, while the subject-specific notability guidelines only apply to the list such as Academics, Astronomica Objects, Numbers, etc. We first look at the subject topic whether it is in the list of subject-specific topics, if yes then we follow the subject-specific notability guidelines, if not, then we proceed with GNG. Angus1986 (talk) 08:40, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * ❌ not quite: GNG actually applies to all articles. SNGs are shortcut rules by which we can establish that it is highly likely that GNG is met. Simply meeting an SNG does not automatically mean that an article is notable, although in most cases it does mean that the article should not be nominated for deletion. signed,Rosguill talk 17:32, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Alright, so all the article's by default must meet the GNG while specific subject categories have a shortcut wherein if they meet SNG then they can have a Wikipedia article of their own. Right? Angus1986 (talk) 08:05, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
 * signed,Rosguill talk 17:58, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

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

Primarily additional criteria that are likely to indicate notability
 * people
 * books
 * sports
 * academics
 * astronomical objects
 * numbers this one includes some restrictions on coverage, making it more of a category 3 SNG in my opinion
 * geographical features.

Primarily additional considerations that define or restrict the nature of coverage or sources required
 * organizations & companies
 * events

Even mix of the previous two categories
 * web I would place this in category 1, as it specifies that notability can be established by way of an award, and the other criterion just restates GNG. For what it's worth, this is not a terribly useful SNG. In my opinion, the most important information in the guideline is the instructions of alternatives to deletion to consider if notability is not established
 * music, although it's mostly a category 1 SNG, the specifics listed under MUSICBIO are important additional restrictions on the notability of musicians affiliated with bands that come up quite a bit
 * films.

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 when evaluating an article as a new page reviewer?

- As a NPP, I would accept the article if SNGs are met(with coverage of the article in reputable and reliable resources), but if there is no coverage in any of the reliable/reputable sources then I wouldn't accept the article even if the SNGs are met. Angus1986 (talk) 13:27, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , I think you're on the right track here, but I wouldn't treat this as a pure binary based on the presence or absence of a single reliable source. I think that a good perspective to adopt is that passing an SNG is an extremely strong indicator of notability. However, that needs to be evaluated alongside other indicators of notability. For example, consider a single released in 2008 that charted on a relatively obscure music chart, such as New Age Digital Song Sales. The only available coverage is the Billboard chart listing. The 21st century release suggests that if coverage exists, it should be online (making the absence of online coverage more damning than for a single released pre-internet), and the obscurity of the genre suggests that it may not have received additional coverage. Taken together, you should consider ignoring the SNG in this situation. signed,Rosguill talk 15:30, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

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

An editor creates an article about "2024 Summer Olympics" in 2020 without providing any sources, is the subject considered not notable and why?
 * Scenario 1

- It doesn't meet SNG because there are no sources mentioned, as mentioned earlier in the previous questions asked by you, for an article to be considered notable there must be reliable sources. Angus1986 (talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * . Follow up question: what should we do in this situation? signed,Rosguill talk 18:01, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Find more reliable sources then add it to the article and keep the article. Angus1986  TALK  06:15, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

A New York city based 2020 start up software company, specializing in data mining, has just received a USD 200K investor fund.
 * Scenario 2

- Just this scenario doesn't meet SNG! If this covered in reliable sources like in Wall Street Journal or New York Post, along with more publications about this startup(not just limited to this particular scenario) then it would meet Notability (organizations and companies). Angus1986 (talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , it's also worth noting that funding news is generally considered routine coverage for businesses. By itself, it's not going to count towards meeting notability guidelines, even if published in a reliable source. signed,Rosguill talk 18:01, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Movsar Evloev who is a Ultimate Fighting Championships fighters with the undefeated mixed martial arts record of 12-0.
 * Scenario 3

- Yes, he meets the SNG for WikiProject Mixed martial arts/MMA notability(this was a sub-topic in Notability (sports); because he fought 3 professional fights for UFC and holds an excellent record of 12-0. Angus1986 (talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , although the fact that he won those contests is irrelevant to the SNG. signed,Rosguill talk 18:01, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

An upcoming action drama title "Suleiman the Great" based on the the life of Suleiman the Magnificent, which will be in production in August 2020 and to be released on March 2021 in the cinemas.
 * Scenario 4

- No, doesn't meet SNG because according to Planned films just being in pre-production doesn't make it notable enough, it must first enter principal photography until then it is just an "idea" or a "concept". Angus1986 (talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

A political candidate, without any previous or current political position, who is running for November 2020 election for a Senator position in United States with multiple local newspaper coverage of his candidacy.
 * Scenario 5

- No, doesn't meet SNG because as per  Notability (people) just running for candidacy doesn't automatically make the person notable, however if the political candidate meets GNG then he would be considered notable. Angus1986 (talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

A singer who self produced his first album in May 2019 and his songs are listed in Spotify.
 * Scenario 6

- No, doesn't meet SNG as the singer fails Notability (music) Angus1986 (talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

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

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.


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

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.

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 8

QuantumRealm (meow • pawtrack) 18:49, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Frank Lloyd Wright ✅ Because most of the sources meets GNG
 * 2) Jordan Lennon ❌ Because all sources fails GNG
 * 3) Sonny Bill Williams ✅ Meets SNG(especially WP:ATHLETE)
 * 4) David Petraeus ✅ All the sources meets GNG
 * , your answers are correct but I'm a little puzzled by your framing. Sources meet GNG collectively, not individually. So, it's not accurate to say that "most" or "all" sources meet GNG; rather the assessment to make is whether the sources contribute to meeting GNG, and whether altogether GNG is met. signed,Rosguill talk 19:43, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Please explain in your own words why claims need to be verified?
 * Question 9
 * Anyone can claim anything, like for example in this edit [] at Aliza Ayaz, a paid/COI editor claimed she is worth 390 million British pounds, without verifying this, people will be deceived that she is actually worth that much. Since Wikipedia ranks the highest in almost all search engines, it is very important to make sure all the claims are verified, in order to present only verified content WP:VNT to the public. QuantumRealm (meow • pawtrack) 18:49, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Could we cite Wikipedia as a source? and why?
 * Question 10
 * No, because Wikipedia itself is a collection of reliable sources, moreover content created by users on Wikipedia cannot be cited as a source. QuantumRealm (meow • pawtrack) 18:49, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , the second part of the answer is correct, the first part less so. Another reason why we can't cite Wikipedia is because this would quickly result in circular sourcing: Article A cites Article B which cites Article A again, interfering with our ability to ensure that information is properly verifiable. signed,Rosguill talk 19:43, 11 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Question 11
 * Give an example of a source that is reliable but not independent of a subject, and explain why.

[] This is the profile of a Nobel Laureate biologist, David Baltimore, who is currently the president of CalTech, so this source is considered reliable but not independent of the subject because he is associated with the CalTech. QuantumRealm (meow • pawtrack) 18:49, 11 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Question 12
 * Give an example of a source that is independent but not reliable and explain why.

Forbes contributor articles are independent because they are not connected with the subject however they are not reliable because they are user-generated content and aren't scrutinized, also the same goes for all guest blog posts and other user-generated content as perWP:USERG. QuantumRealm (meow • pawtrack) 18:49, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Describe the steps you should take when assessing whether an unfamiliar source is reliable.
 * Question 13
 * I will look into WP:DEPRECATED and make sure the source isn't listed there, and then I will look into WP:SOURCEGUIDE to make sure whether it is considered reliable or not, if it is missing from there then I will assess that the article to check whether it is :

i) Questionable ii) Self-published iii) Sponsored iv) User-generated content (example: IMDB, Forbes contributor articles) If it is in any of the aforementioned 4 categories then I wouldn't consider it as a reliable source (with an exception for the criterias as described in WP:SELFSOURCE)

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". For sources in languages that you can't read, please use Google Translate to evaluate the source to the best of your ability.


 * 14 The Moscow Times
 * Reliable, because their articles seem to be written from a neutral point of view and they always cite their sources with whatever claims they are making in the article, for example here -> [], in the line "Ross confirmed to the state-run TASS news agency that she has been declared persona non grata.", the word 'confirmed' was hyperlinked to its source over here -> []. <b style="color:#000">Quantum</b><sup style="color:#300">Realm  (<b style="color:#609">meow</b> • <b style="color:#F63">pawtrack</b>) 07:52, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , these are all good signs, but a more definitive test of reliability is whether there is WP:USEBYOTHERS. In this case, an internet and Google Scholar search turns up a fair amount of use by RS, so an assessment of reliable is correct. signed,Rosguill talk 15:57, 13 May 2021 (UTC)


 * 15 USA Today
 * Reliable, I am aware of USA Today, it is my go-to site for my news appetite(not showing my personal bias but justifying because they are credible), again they maintain a neutral point of view and cite their sources without making extraordinary claims, also they are not written by any contributors(so it is not user-generated). <b style="color:#000">Quantum</b><sup style="color:#300">Realm  (<b style="color:#609">meow</b> • <b style="color:#F63">pawtrack</b>) 07:52, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

 * 16 The Hindu
 * Reliable, again most of the articles seem to follow well-cited and neutrally written articles with an editorial overview, with an exception of few sections, like for example this one [], it looks promotional. But all news pieces look reliable. <b style="color:#000">Quantum</b><sup style="color:#300">Realm  (<b style="color:#609">meow</b> • <b style="color:#F63">pawtrack</b>) 07:52, 13 May 2021 (UTC)


 * 17 Anadolu Agency
 * Unreliable, all the articles are very biased towards the Muslim/Islamic nations, as their story on the recent conflict between Israel-Palestine only shows the attack from Israel, but doesn't talk about Palestine's attacks on Israel, you can verify the same over here -> [] and []. Also shows a clear conflict of interest towards the Turkish government(like all positive content written for them), looks like the site is run to glorify Turkish government and Islam through their articles. <b style="color:#000">Quantum</b><sup style="color:#300">Realm  (<b style="color:#609">meow</b> • <b style="color:#F63">pawtrack</b>) 07:52, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , I wouldn't put much stock in judging a source by their I/P coverage (unless you're specifically assessing suitability for I/P claims), but Anadolu Agency is indeed a state propaganda arm of Turkey, and should not be considered reliable for anything other than the Turkish government's official view on things. signed,Rosguill talk 15:57, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

 * 20 Seventeen
 * Looks like a celebrity gossip website with some nice pieces(which cover sources and written neutrally), like this one [], so somewhat reliable depending on the news piece, if it is taken from gossip or fashion section I would say unreliable. <b style="color:#000">Quantum</b><sup style="color:#300">Realm  (<b style="color:#609">meow</b> • <b style="color:#F63">pawtrack</b>) 07:52, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , your assessment is reasonable, but more than the section of the site I think the nature of the claim to be cited is going to be the decisive factor here.

 * Unreliable, majority of their pieces like for example these ones -> [] [] are written in a very promotional manner, though they cite the sources and it's written by the staff, they fail NPOV and seem very promotional towards the company(very likely PAID promotion). <b style="color:#000">Quantum</b><sup style="color:#300">Realm  (<b style="color:#609">meow</b> • <b style="color:#F63">pawtrack</b>) 07:52, 13 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: Yes, it should be changed. In the references, they refer to him as just Hannibal. So it should be changed to Hannibal, it is the Wikipedia's policy for common name, also known as WP:COMMONNAME, it is also the reason why PewDiePie's Wikipedia page is PewDiePie instead of Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg because the majority of the references mention him as PewDiePie. If another person with the same name exists, let's take this question, for example, there are other people who are known as Hannibal, so there should be a disambiguation page as per WP:DAB amd also for users who might search him by his full name, it is better to add a redirect as per WP:R under his full name. (the same can be applied to PewDiePie redirect for his full name). <b style="color:#000">Quantum</b><sup style="color:#300">Realm  (<b style="color:#609">meow</b> • <b style="color:#F63">pawtrack</b>) 16:59, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Like for example if a subject X is covered in several reliable sources as accomplishing ABC, then that is a due weight to be given to the article, if other not so reliable sources cover the subject X as accomplishing XYZ, this would be undue weight and shouldn't be given that much of an importance. <b style="color:#000">Quantum</b><sup style="color:#300">Realm  (<b style="color:#609">meow</b> • <b style="color:#F63">pawtrack</b>) 21:19, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
 * You've got the underlying concept down, which is the important part, but you're using the phrase wrong. You give due weight (not "a due weight") to individual claims (not articles) by giving them rhetorical weight according to their degree of support and emphasis across RSS; giving something more or less than that amount would be undue weight. signed,Rosguill talk 01:19, 8 December 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: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. We only include content that is covered by several reliable and independent sources. The editors on Wikipedia may or may not have proper knowledge of a subject/topic, in order to avoid false or biased information, editors must refrain adding original research content into Wikipedia articles. Any content that is written on Wikipedia articles must be verifiable, if original research is added, then we cannot verify it. For example, if person X witnessed an accident of a celebrity M, then person X should refrain from adding any information which they have witnessed unless that information is covered by independent and reliable sources. <b style="color:#000">Quantum</b><sup style="color:#300">Realm  (<b style="color:#609">meow</b> • <b style="color:#F63">pawtrack</b>) 06:38, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

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

Answer: When you say original content, do you mean copy-pasting original content from the sources directly? It might lead to copyright violation, but if it is a quote of a person from a reliable independent source then we can include that original content in the article. Also, any of the content which is copyright-free and in the public domain can be used as well. <b style="color:#000">Quantum</b><sup style="color:#300">Realm  (<b style="color:#609">meow</b> • <b style="color:#F63">pawtrack</b>) 06:38, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * No, I'm asking about situations where synthesis may be permitted, if any exist. signed,Rosguill talk 18:06, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * @ Ok, so basically synthesis is when the editor infers and try to conclude/infer things based off of what that editor reads in the same or multiple reliable sources. So, let's say a reliable source states person XYZ is on a vacation(without stating the location) in January, and the other reliable source states that person XYZ is in Miami in January, the editor must not infer and write that the person XYZ is on a vacation in Miami in January, unless any other reliable source states this, if no reliable source states this then it is original research or editorial synthesis. Also, it is permitted during any discussions on the talk page here on Wikipedia, I saw this example on WP:SYN. <b style="color:#000">Quantum</b><sup style="color:#300">Realm  (<b style="color:#609">meow</b> • <b style="color:#F63">pawtrack</b>) 18:40, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * You haven't written anything incorrect here, but this wasn't the answer I was looking for. Forms of original content that are allowed include a) original images based on RS materials (e.g. maps of conflict zones or historical travel routes) b) faithful translations of foreign language content where relevant for a quote c) routine unit conversions or d) summary style writing in the lead of content present in the article.

 * Yes, this is original research, the editor miscalculated it(by assuming $200k was also revenue, but it just says "selling" this is could be a gross revenue, not the actual net profit), if source B explicitly mentioned $200k in revenue selling product Y, then it would've not been original research, as per WP:CALC. <b style="color:#000">Quantum</b><sup style="color:#300">Realm  (<b style="color:#609">meow</b> • <b style="color:#F63">pawtrack</b>) 19:14, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
