Next MuddWiki Event


Undead q (talk) has given you a fresh pie! Pies promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a piping hot pie, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Bon appetit!

Thanks for taking the initiative on this next step in MuddWiki history!

Spread the tastiness of pies by adding {{subst:GivePie}} to their talk page with a friendly message. See the talk page of the Third Edit-a-thon for instructions on how to create a Meetup page. It took me a while to retrace my steps! Let me know how I can help. Undead q (talk) 18:16, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Princeton Cannon Song
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Princeton Cannon Song, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://webscript.princeton.edu/~puband/old/old_public_html/lyrics.html.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

How to give barnstars &c.
Hi Christa, After the edit-a-thon, as you're assembling the blog and other social media messaging about the event, I like to give barnstars and other wiki-swag to people to show them how much you've appreciated their contributions.

I like the WikiLove or the Barnstar devices. In the box at the bottom of either of the aforementioned pages, click on a template; a new page will open that will show you how to use the template. Go to a user's talk page, create a new section, and insert the template. Add text as desired. Please remember to sign the talk page with the four tildes. Thankies.

Happy Edit-a-thon!

Publicity
Hi. I'm a Princeton alumnus and also an editor here, and unless there is a last-minute scheduling conflict, I expect to be at the next Edit-a-Thon.

Have you considered having the event listed on this web page for some additional publicity? Just a thought. Looking forward to meeting you. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 18:08, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 24
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Princeton University, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page George Kennan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Jessica Northey
Hi. I saw that you were asking about the Jessica Northey article that got deleted. Basically it was a spam article intended to promote Northey and her business interests but actually so embarrassing that it probably did the very opposite and has stuck in my mind far more than most deleted articles for this reason. I certainly found the second version of it tragicomical enough to nominate it for deletion myself. I seem to remember the ludicrous peacock term "powerhouse" featuring prominently at one point and so I feel that deleting it was probably the kindest thing to do.

There were deletion discussions about each of the two versions of the article: It was deleted both times. It has also been deleted on two other occasions.
 * 1) Articles for deletion/Jessica Northey
 * 2) Articles for deletion/Jessica Northey (2nd nomination)

This does not mean that it definitely must not be created again but that does strongly suggest that it is probably a really bad idea unless things have changed very dramatically since last time so that the previous reasons to delete it no longer apply. Has she been elected to high office? Won the Nobel prize for literature? Had a top 10 single in 14 countries singing Stand By Your Spam? I doubt it. So, I apologise if I sound cynical but I am very cynical that recreating the article has any chance of success.

That said, if you do decide to recreate it, I promise that I will read it carefully and check the sources before I decide whether to nominate it for deletion again. After all, I could be wrong and things might have changed.

I'm not putting money on it though. I just Googled her again. What I saw was as unimpressive as before. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:07, 1 October 2015 (UTC)


 * More advice, in response to your message on the talk page. Check out Wikipedia's inclusion criterion, called Notability, which looks for references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Youtube, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also Notability (summary) and Notability (people).


 * Since this article has twice been deleted after deletion discussions, if you simply post it again it is likely to be speedily deleted, particularly if you post a part-finished version. If you think you can find better references, that have the kind of in-depth coverage required to show notability, I suggest you make a draft article at Draft:Jessica Northey. Take care to keep it neutral - if it seems to be trying to promote or "sell" her it is unlikely to be accepted. Then you can ask Daniel Rigal to look at it, though the person you really have to convince is user, who can agree to allow a new article to be posted, or maybe refer you to WP:Deletion review.
