Draft:Andrew Rypel
Hey, I wanted to discuss the notability of this person as an academic. I was about to accept it first but then I thought I will have your views first. At GS I found multiple works that have more than 100 citations which is usually enough. In one of those, he is one of the two authors of the paper which carries more weight than a paper having 200 citations but having four authors (let's say). Do you think this is not sufficient though? WP:Academic isn't a straightforward criteria so I thought will be good to discuss. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 03:47, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * , based on my experience with academics, it is unlikely for someone who is an associate professor to be considered notable enough. The ones that are, are usually are members of an elite society per WP:Academic. Secondly, in only one of three articles with over 100 citations is he the first author. For example, per discussion on the WP:Academic talk page (see here), Canada Research Chairs are only notable if they are Tier 1. This is because Tier 2s are usually assistant or associate professors. Personally, I typically don't write about anyone with less than 4K citations and even then I'm iffy. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 03:53, 1 July 2021 (UTC)


 * HickoryOughtShirt?4, thanks for your opinion. I see your point about being first author and agree with it. So the names are always written in that order? That first person is first author and so on. From what I know, many times in academics, the first person is the principle investigator and the senior most person in research (usually HODs etc) but it not necessarily mean that they did most of the work. The other people might have done most of the work while the PI simply gets to put their name as first author as respect and seniority and they are mostly just reviewing the papers in the end and giving feedback.

 * , Per this it seems to be based on contributions. While I was awaiting a response, I saw they updated the draft but are wrong about him passing criterion 5 seeing as he isn't a full professor. I am personally not ok accepting the article based only on three 100+ citations on Google Scholar. I suggest taking this to the WP:Academic talk page for more opinions. As well, based on their username and edits, I have a feeling there is a COI issue here. They made a few edits then went right into article writing with perfect use of citations. Just saying. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:02, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I also don't appreciate their change from associate to just professor. Seems sneaky but AGF. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:04, 1 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for this resourceful link HickoryOughtShirt?4. Yes, it clarifies that first author is the person who contributed the most. My comment was more from a practical point of view as per what I have seen. But we must go through what's an established theory as against what I have experienced personally since it might not be universally true. I am declining it now. I didn't get to the stage of investigating COI. I usually first check notability and then move on to COI - unless it is so obvious that it's right in front of your eyes!

GNG
Your rejected a new article saying "Per WP:NOLYMPICS, he does not qualify until he actually competes. Please wait for the Games to begin."

But that is wrong. He meets GNG. That is all that is needed. There are multiple RS articles devoted to him.

You make no mention of having considered GNG - which was all that I ever considered when submitting this draft.

Editing the GAN page
... it won't work, Legobot will override any manual edit; the main GAN page is entirely based on the GAN template on the article talk pages, which you should edit instead. I've tagged the /GA1 page for speedy deletion and edited the GAN template accordingly. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  05:31, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Guideline and policy news
 * Consensus has been reached to delete all books in the book namespace. There was rough consensus that the deleted books should still be available on request at WP:REFUND even after the namespace is removed.
 * An RfC is open to discuss the next steps following a trial which automatically applied pending changes to TFAs.

Technical news
 * IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed at the talk page.

Arbitration
 * The community authorised COVID-19 general sanctions have been superseded by the COVID-19 discretionary sanctions following a motion at a case request. Alerts given and sanctions placed under the community authorised general sanctions are now considered alerts for and sanctions under the new discretionary sanctions.
