AFC
Hi CASSIOPEIA, I have a question for you. I came across this article and was surprised to see that you had accepted it via AFC and figure I must be missing something. I've gone and removed the blatantly unreliable sources (some of which are also refspam) and it's left with, well, not so stellar sources. Am I missing something? I didn't find much by searching either and figured you may have, which is why you accepted. Would you have any objection to me moving it back to draft space? Thanks! Praxidicae (talk) 20:18, 27 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi Thank you for the message above. I thought I have added additional sources, apparently I didnt, I guess I just had all the sources' tab opened and forgot about adding them into the article. I have just added eight sources and I believe it passed GNG and NFLIM. Since the original author is banned for unpaid editor, I have no problem if you want to move the page to draft space. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk)

Draft:Extreme points of Tajikistan
Hey- if I may ask- is the page ready to be "undrafted" yet? I'm thinking that it's getting closer to that point. Geographyinitiative (talk) 01:40, 29 January 2020 (UTC)


 * I have reviewed the article - see comments on the draft page. Pls read WP:42. Let me know if you need further clarification or assistance. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 03:19, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

Counter Vandalism Unit Training
Hello! I would like to be trained by you at the CVU, but I don’t know how to apply. Thanks! Hopefully I can be accepted and learn lots of editing techniques! ActualJoe ❯❯❯  Talk  18:14, 29 January 2020 (UTC)


 * , Greetings. Thank you for interested in counter vandalism.  Pls have a look the "Goals" and  "Syllabus" sections below to understand the requirements needed at the end of the course in order to graduate from CVSCHOOL.

Goals
If you're new and/or inexperienced, before embarking on a Counter-Vandalism training programme, you should be able to demonstrate that you have already mastered the basic principles of editing the encyclopedia and contributed at least 200 edits to MAINSPACE. If you have previously been warned or requested to follow guidelines, you should have demonstrated that you have addressed these issues.

When you have shown through training that you have mastered the principles of Counter-Vandalism and can apply them with accuracy, and can communicate correctly and effectively with new users of all kinds you may be able to apply for permission to use restricted tools, such as, for example Rollback, and STiki that will enable you to semi-automate the process, while understanding that speed alone is not essential - the target is accuracy. When you have achieved these goals, you can display the User CVU0-en userbox on your user page.

Syllabus
Please note that there are many editors who were interested in counter vandalism course and abundant the program mid way due to lack of anticipation of the amount of efforts/time needed in reading the program material, doing assigned "homework" and exams requirements. So do prepare yourself for lots of reading and homework if you intend to proceed with the program. I notice you have some counter vandalism experience; however, since you have only 300+ in main-space edits, kindly complete the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Adventure|[WP:Wikipedia Adventure]] program to familiar yourself on some fundamental info/guidelines. Once you have done that, please pop back here and do let me know the reason for interested in this program for me to set up the program for you. Thank you.

BRFC player articles
So I did create the 1-24 appearances article for BRFC. I am actually outraged, because that article has more citations than the AUFC player articles, and people thought there was nothing wrong with the AUFC player articles. I even asked why, and no-one replied.

I'm not adding references for a single player one-by-one, because all those citations have statistics that are outdated or only A-League apps/goals. The two citations, the OzFootball.net and WorldFootball.net is ENTIRELY referenced to the entire article.

I've already made a draft for the 25-99 appearances, because I reckon that the other page can stand. Plus, the player pages is longer, because I researched all the statistics from 1977 to 1988 and I added the citation for it. I researched for about 10 minutes, looking for sites, news or pretty much anything to include more references for the entire page.

New page patrol school
CASSIOPEIA (assuming that's your preferred capitalization),

The page at WP:NPRSCHOOL listed you as having a slot open for training a user interested in going through New Page Patrol School. Is this still accurate? I'm interested in going through NPP School so I can get the knowledge I need to become a quality page reviewer. Reviewing incoming pages is an important task to keeping Wikipedia working well, and it looks like there's enough of a backlog that another pair of hands would be useful. I've got a good deal of AfD experience, a moderate amount of PROD and tagging experience, and a touch of CSD experience (see User:Hog Farm/CSD log for my best attempt at a log of all my CSDs). I would like to gain the additional experience needed for properly reviewing pages. Would you be interested in letting me go through your New Page Patrol School course? Hog Farm (talk) 22:26, 4 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Greetings. Please do note that NPP School program does require a lot of reading and assignments. The program is comprised of 3 parts with 10 assignments and a final exam. NPP School students usually take 2 months to complete the course. Please read  the NPP School syllabus and pop back here for enrollment if you are still interested. Thank you.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:80%;color:#FA0"> CASSIOPEIA</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 16:14, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I read through the syllabus and all of the recommended documents before leaving a note here. I'm a bit busy in real life, so there'd be some of the assignments that I'd have to take two or three days to do. Is that a realistic time span, or should I hold off until I get less busy? Hog Farm (talk) 19:37, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , Taking a few days to a week for one assignment is common for most participants as most of us have a job/still in school in real life and sometimes, participants who are student would take up to 2 weeks off due to exams they have to attend to. I am happy to set up the program for you if you are still interested.

Help!
Hey my man, how is it going? Well I need your help on this one: I’d like to create a Wikipedia page for Deron Winn since he is currently fighting in the UFC, the problem is that I don’t really know how to create it, can you help me with that please? Take care. Mmagrappling (talk) 06:23, 5 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Greetings. Winn currently has 2 top tier (UFC) fights, thus he need one more fight to pass WP:MMABIO notability requirements. He is currently scheduled to fight at UFC 248 at March 7 2020, so by then he will meet the notability requirements to merit a mains pace in Wikipedia. What you can do is to do a draft first and pls provide citations (sources) to support the content claimed.
 * You can go to Article Wizard and follow the instruction.
 * Once you have created a "blank/empty/no content] of Draft:Deron Winn page, then copy the content (use as a template)of Charles Byrd (fighter) into Draft:Deron Winn and change the following
 * the fight table (use Sherdog.com - see here and follow same formats (high/low cap, spacing, colon and etc to a tee)
 * Add the 3 fights under "Ultimate Fighting Championship" - fight announcements and results
 * Add brief content under " Early career", Background", "Personal life".
 * Change the WP:LEAD/introduction and infobox' content accordingly that of Winn's.


 * Once you have done that, pls pop back here and I will check the draft for you. Once it is done, then wait until March 7 to submit the draft or let me know and I will review the draft and place it on mainspace.


 * For citation (source) you can either (1) use horizontal format Template:Cite Web for web source or (2) Enable WP:VisualEditor where you just past the URL of the source and the rest of the fields will be filled automatically.


 * Let me know if anything else I would help.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:80%;color:#FA0"> CASSIOPEIA</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 16:34, 6 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Hey, one more thing: Is it okay to add the NCAA Wrestling Championship medals in fighters? I think it’s a very important accomplishment and shows how good of a college wrestler a MMA fighter was, it doesn’t look unprofessional either. Let me now please, by now I’ve added them for Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren and Daniel Cormier if my memory works fine. Have a nice one Mmagrappling (talk) 19:05, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Also pls remember to add additional 'colon:  = one indentation to the right, from the previous message thread before starting your message in any talk pages as this is the normal communication protocol in Wikipedia - see Help:Wikitext. You would place you name at WikiProject Mixed martial arts/Participants and there are some MMA notability and Bellator notability proposal at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mixed martial arts/MMA notability, join the discussion if you are interested.

 * Hey! Just finishes the draft of Deron, it was frustrating as hell because when I had done like 70%, I deleted everything accidentally, but now it’s done. Deron has fought 3 times in top MMA Organizations, twice in the UFC and once in Bellator MMA, so he can already have a page. Tell me if it’s alright and I’ll create the page. I’ll send it to you in the next message, thanks. 'colon: Mmagrappling (talk) 23:07, 10 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Greetings.(1) pls add one additional " : " from the previous thread before starting your message (for one indetantion to the right) as this is the normal Wikipedia communication protocol. - See Help:Wikitext ; (2) Bellator is not considered top tier (or tier one) promoter at the moment, thus Winn has yet to pass the WP:MMABIO guidelines. There are several proposals at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mixed martial arts/MMA notability on notability and Bellator notability, join the discussion if you wish. (3) pls put all the content on the draft page. Another way create a draft is to the click search icon on the top right of any Wikipedia page (click on the magnifier icon) and it will lead you to another page. Type "Draft:Deron Winn" on the search filed and click search. The result would be "Showing results for deron win. No results found for Draft:Deron Winn.
 * You may create the page "Draft:Deron Winn", but consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is already covered." Click on the read text "Draft:Deron Winn" and you have just create the draft page. Copy and paste all the content of Deron Winn into the draft page. Once you have done that, then ping me. (If I do the above for you, the creator of the article will be in my name instead of yours. Do note, no one can claim the ownership of any articles in Wikipedia but the creator name will be listed on the article and your contribution log. Once you have done that then let me know. (5) To create an article takes a lot of effort and time especially when you are new to it, however, after you have created 10 articles, it will come a lot more easy for you. One of the advantages to create the article in the draft space is that you can save your edits and dont need to write it in one go and all the info (which you have edited/added/removed) can be found on the history page. <b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:80%;color:#FA0"> CASSIOPEIA</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 00:03, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Again (1) pls add one additional " : " from the previous thread before starting your message (for one indentation to the right) as this is the normal Wikipedia communication protocol. - See Help:Wikitext. Secondly, no need to delete the content of Deron Winn below as I have collapsed the info. I will look at the draft and make comment on the draft article as well as the history page.

Overall, it is very well-written and I am very pleased to see all the sources you had provided. If this is your first article, I have to say I am impressed!. I review and move the page to Wikipedia mainspace after Winn 3rd fights in UFC.

Adminship
Hello CASSIOPEIA, I have seen your work here within the past few months and your work has been outstanding especially with CVUA and NPPSCHOOL. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I was wondering if you considered stepping up to become an administrator. I really feel you could benefit from the tools. If you are interested, I would be happy to draft up a nomination statement for you. If you are not interested, it's OK. Interstellarity (talk) 18:47, 6 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Interstellarity, Thank you very much for message above. Here - Diana (musical) form ritchie333 10 months ago regarding the same subject mentioned above. If both of you think I am suitable and would nominate me for the role, then it would be an opportunity for me to apply. Thank you.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:80%;color:#FA0"> CASSIOPEIA</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 06:39, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I have created the nomination page here. Ritchie is welcome to co-nom with me if he desires. Please indicate if you have edited for pay in your acceptance statement and answer the 3 questions provided. Best, Interstellarity (talk) 18:34, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I have added a co-nomination. Read WP:RFAADVICE thoroughly and carefully now, so you can understand what to expect. Some advice : Q1 needs to mention the areas you want to work in (such as AIV and new page patrolling); you need to put something but don't add anything you don't want. Q2 should mention content first and foremost. Q3 needs to be honest (anyone who writes "I haven't had any conflicts" probably shouldn't be an admin as they're either inexperienced or untrustworthy), but not too honest so you cause people to oppose over it. BTW Interstellarity, having a large amount of AfDs matching consensus doesn't necessarily mean anything; it could be thoughtful opinions that sway a debate, thoughtless pile-ons with the herd, or everything in between.

 * When I nominate candidates for adminship, what are some key statistics I need to look for before I nominate them? Interstellarity (talk) 16:49, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
 * The basics I look at are the AfD stats, particularly what they said in a debate where their opinion didn't match consensus, declined speedies, content work (especially GAs / FAs and article creations), no warnings on talk page, no evidence of incivility, plus any else I can think of that might cause issues. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  11:30, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * That's clear to me. Thank you. Interstellarity (talk) 13:01, 9 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the nomination and I will go through the info as provide and answer the questions accordingly. Best.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:80%;color:#FA0"> CASSIOPEIA</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 01:28, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

 * At the moment, your answers have several spelling and grammatical errors. Can you please fix those before transclusion, otherwise people may jump on them. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  10:36, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for informing and I have tried to correct them the best I could. I believe it might still have some mistakes as writing eloquently is not my strong suit. Best.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:80%;color:#FA0"> CASSIOPEIA</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 10:58, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, I will transclude the RfA, concurrently with Money Emoji's. Again, read WP:RFAADVICE carefully; also I'd recommend reading Requests for adminship/Nick Moyes and Requests for adminship/1997kB as a basic idea of what you'll get - take your time answering questions as good answers will mean a hassle free RfA with lots of support, while poor answers can result in opposition due to misunderstanding or concerns. But you know all this already. ;-) Additional - do not reply to any opposes at all; see Requests for adminship/GRuban - it's impossible to get the entire Wikipedia community to agree unanimously on what adminship should be, and even the best candidates get a couple of opposes. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  12:08, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you Ritchie. It is regretful to know one mistake accepting a bad article of thousands I have reviewed with countless of successful CSDed and follow the WP:NPPDRAFT guidelines to move page to draft would cause some oppositions. Best.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:80%;color:#FA0"> CASSIOPEIA</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 13:57, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Okay, I think at this stage I have to say that I don't think this RfA is going to be successful. I've read through the various comments, and the general theme I'm seeing is not that you made a few mistakes; rather the problem is that when challenged on them your answers were found somewhat lacking. As somebody said, an experienced editor would understand what you mean, but a newcomer might get confused. Given we just went through a huge rigmarole to get rid of an admin who wasn't malicious or bad tempered but simply not brilliant at communicating, I can kind of see people's views that we shouldn't take that sort of risk again, and to some extent I agree with them. This sounds quite a harsh thing to say, but one thing I consistently look for in admins is excellent communication. When an article gets deleted, the author can't see who tagged it - they go straight to the admin, who needs to give a good level of customer service.

At the moment, I'll leave the RfA open because the feedback you're getting is constructive and not particularly vindictive, so it can be useful to read, but I'd probably recommend closing / withdrawing within about the next 24 hours. As you probably realise, it's not a criticism of you as an editor; I think most people are happy with the work you do. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  21:41, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I would like to add on to what said. If this RfA doesn't pass, I recommend taking this opportunity to read the comments by the people who opposed your RfA to see how you can become a better editor in the future. Maybe in the future, someone will renominate you to be an admin if you improved over a significant period of time (maybe 2 years). If I were you, I would take it as a learning experience. I really do not want to put you off from editing. You do great work here and I want you to keep it up. I hope this message sends a message of hope to you for a bright future. Best wishes, Interstellarity (talk) 22:57, 12 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your kind words and I have withdrawn from the RfA. I have a lot to say, but I will keep it short and simple as too many qualms among the editors in the RfA which sadden me and it would be best I stay low. What surprise me is that, there are so many who support and know my work and yet I have no idea who they are and some went out the way to give evident and defended me which I am grateful. I appreciate those who give me constructive comments in regardless of their vote. All in all - It is what it is. It is a lesson I learn. Thank you Ritchie33 and Interstellarity for this experience.

RfA withdrawal
I hope you don't mind, I passed by and saw you had withdrawn from you RfA so I closed it. Don't let it bother you, you're still a valued editor. Rgrds. --Bison X (talk) 06:26, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your kind words. Best.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:80%;color:#FA0"> CASSIOPEIA</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 06:30, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

The RfA didn't go well for you and quite frankly everything that could go wrong for you did go wrong. And I at least feel at least tad guilty for part of that. I think a lot of the community will feel sad you didn't make it this time and are really hoping you'll fly it in a few months time if you re-try. I certainly am ... but that isn't a promise you'll get my support vote next time. Some of the issues raised are to a degree problems the community has with itself. Don't bother trying to over-analyse the church article in Q9 ... at the time there was some sort of weird fork and other stuff going on and my memory I thought I might rescue it or transform it into a settlement article or something .. I failed in that endeavor ... though that church does continue re-incarnate into mainspace from time to time so it probably needs to be salted. Having a key community member put a !oppose vote early on meant the ride was going to be pretty tough. But in doing a little scrutiny on your I was impressed by some of your training stuff! Best wishes. Djm-leighpark (talk) 07:44, 13 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Good day. Thank you for your message. Pls dont feel guilty, you have the right to voice your opinion as you see fit. I cant respond in RfA made thing a little difficult. I think there is 2 school of thoughts in Wikipedia and I will to discuss this with some admins to understand this further. All in all the thing pain me the most is that I didnt have the support from my mentor . To me who practice some martial arts, a mentor is like a master to us in the Dojo, to know you fail your master is an un-honorable deed as I have not exhibited the inpatient me when I first started out editing in Wikipedia where I still wrapped in the cut-to-the-chase, no-nonsense discussion in the corporate world since the mma talk page incident. I dont expect Mz7 to understand my sentiment. I appreciate his honesty and respect his comments.

 * While I don't have full appreciation I have a little idea due to a family member occasionally having practiced Kendo, and I am lucky in simply being able to shake of most of the mistakes I continually make whereas I can see you are seeing are going to find it more difficult to get over ... for what its worth I thought who have acted with honour during the RfA and wish all the best.Djm-leighpark (talk) 09:45, 13 February 2020 (UTC)


 * I am NOT going through difficult time to get over it as I withdrew the request. Difficult to explain the concept here anyway.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:80%;color:#FA0"> CASSIOPEIA</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 13:33, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

You did the right thing under the circumstances, and I look forward to supporting you again. Please take the opposers' concerns on board, painful though that may be. A suggestion: you may want to change your username from all caps; it looks newbie-ish, and may be off-putting. Rest up, see you around and all the best,  Mini  apolis  23:30, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
 * G'day. Sure will take the opposers' comments on board. As for the user name, I remember high low of my user name was not available at the time when I registered. I have requested a usurpations and see if that is available. Thank you for your message and support. You are most kind.

Apology
I feel utterly awful for what happened, and I'm sorry I was not there for you before the discussion began. I know that you and I have worked together extensively, both through the mentorship program and afterwards, and I know how disheartening it must have felt to see my name in the wrong section. I feel that it was as difficult for me to write as it was for you to read.

Back when I used to do WP:CVUA, I began to get the feeling that most students were only there to get a fast-track to the rollback right and not actually interested in contributing to the encyclopedia. You were not one of these. On the contrary, I have good memories of working with you in the program; you were highly responsive and took well to feedback. You do care about the encyclopedia, and it showed.

I hope that we can still collaborate in the future after this. As always, my user talk page is open to you at any time if you want to talk to me. As you know, some of our best administrators were unsuccessful at RfA on their first attempts. If you ever think you might want to give RfA a second go, please don't hesitate to reach out to me, and I would be happy to offer my assistance. I encourage you to continue editing, continue contributing, continue helping.

Hope to see you around. Mz7 (talk) 10:59, 13 February 2020 (UTC)


 * No apology needed as all is good.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:80%;color:#FA0"> CASSIOPEIA</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 13:41, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020
Hello ,

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
 * Source Guide Discussion

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
 * Redirects


 * Discussions and Resources
 * There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
 * A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
 * A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
 * A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.
