Proposed deletion of Bookshelf game


The article Bookshelf game has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline nor the more detailed Notability (companies)'s section for products requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of 'This article meets criteria A and B because...' and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Your DYK hook about hit-to-kill weapons, and their frightening lethality even without warheads, drew 36,550 page views (more than 3,000 per hour) while on the Main Page. It is the most viewed hook so far during the month of February and the second most viewed hook of 2021. According, it has earned a place atop the February stats and is also included in the all-time hook list. Keep up the great work! Cbl62 (talk) 16:23, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

WikiProject Support Search
Hello!

I'm working on creating a team to update existing Wikipedia articles about tech devices to include information about repairability (more specifically, how repairable that particular device is.) I found your profile in the WikiProject Technology and I was looking for some more information about either recruiting other interested people or even joining the WikiProject Technology as a possible Child Project or a Task Force. If you’re interested, go check out the Tech Repairability WikiProject Proposal and maybe add your name to the list of interested people! I'm new to Wikipedia, so please let me know if this is not the appropriate way to go about my search for getting support for this WikiProject–learning the culture of a new online community will take me some time.

Thank you for your extensive edits to the Dartmouth BASIC article. It is now so much better than before you made your changes.

Removal of the "Progressive thermalization fusion reactor" text in the colliding beam fusion article
Hello Mauro,

No problem about this removal. I'm used that my papers be only provisionnaly published in Wikipedia. The last one about the "Reed Solomon Identifier" was also removed for good reasons (fortunately a german Ham successes in publishing something about it).

>Basically, content on the Wikipedia has to be mentioned in multiple independant credible publications in order to demonstrate that it meets some basic definition of "notable".

Yes I know that only notoriety in a given domain permits to have papers published. Note that when I proposed my paper to Nuclear Fusion, they argue to refuse it that I used, as references, several (but few) Wikipedia articles ☺

>I suspect that your ultimate aim is to actually build one of these, which will likely cause it to be mentioned.

Yes as Ham (F6CTE), I'm used to build my own devices. But in that case, I don't think that I will be sufficiently rich to build such reactor, even if I break my piggy bank ☺

Best regards

Patrick Lindecker

Hello, thank you so much for restoring this page. I was really confused why that other editor took it down with such a strange comment.

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Vyacheslav Kim
Hello,Maury Markowitz! I just wanted to let you know about the article in question:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vyacheslav_Kim

I checked the history of the page and found out that it was moved to the mainspace by the blocked sockpuppet ‎ Wodasweten and then another blocked sockpuppet Siberosan removed the "paid editing" tag. I believe this is still a very raw and promotional article. Also, the first editor Deviloper, who created the draft for Vyacheslav Kim, also tried to create a page for his business partner Mikhail Lomtadze, which makes me think it is a collaborative job of paid editors or people with clear conflict of interest:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Deviloper

P/S: Wodasweten and Siberisan are both sockpuppets of Bodiadub, banned globally by Wikimedia Foundation.

 * I hope you see this, I cannot ping back. I do not recall this article or any of the editors mentioned above, so I can't add anything useful. I'd suggest taking it to AfD. Do you need help with that? Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:16, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello, Maury Markowitz. I believe AfD is the best option and you can help with that, it would be only beneficial for Wikipedia. And more fair in case the article is found notable and voted to be kept.  --2601:1C0:CB01:2660:B433:771F:24C2:833C (talk) 21:01, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Well I did a bit of poking around, and I find notable mentions of both Kim and especially Lomtadze. I don't see any clear signs that either would pass an AfD. Ultimately this is about the content, not the creator/creation, and I can't say I see any particular issues with the content. I'm not a bio guy though, so I think I'll bow out at this point, I don't think I can be helpful. Maury Markowitz (talk) 21:31, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Note: for other readers seeing this, the articles mentioned above appear to be subject to considerable vandalism by anon editors. Maury Markowitz (talk) 16:07, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
