Disambiguation link notification for January 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited World of the Unexplained museum, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Fisherman's Wharf and In Search Of (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.

Please stop making duplicate AfDs
Making an AfD on an article that *you yourself* say is already in an AfD makes little sense. TMLutas (talk) 03:47, 27 February 2013 (UTC)


 * as per your comment, if multiple AfDs are general practice, I withdraw the complaint. If you read the group AfD the objections are generally for insufficient information. The article material is being auto-generated by a database program in code that is likely to be distributed to thousands of people. The articles will come back regardless of the AfD results and regardless of whether or not I ever submit another one. Setting a collaborative process with me to improve the "form letter" style template I'm developing would be a lot better but this seems to be culturally difficult for the mass delete crowd. I'm extending you the same invitation, What would be the verbiage I should add and what would be the information (ideally from a source like NCES that provides in CSV form) that should be added to overcome your objections? It's not particularly difficult to add a static text paragraph that explains the independent government nature of these districts. It's just not usually done in the complete ones I've read and so I didn't think I should do it. Maybe that's US centrism. What do you think? TMLutas (talk) 04:07, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * As a Bay Area resident (Napa County) I noted your three school district AfDs in Napa and Sonoma Counties, and I oppose this campaign to delete school district articles. I oppose it in any state or any other country, but because these districts are familiar to me, I took special notice. I believe that school districts ought to be considered notable if there is any verifiable information available about the district. There is nothing wrong with a stub about a notable topic. As WP:STUB says, "A stub is an article containing only one or a few sentences of text that, although providing some useful information, is too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject, and that is capable of expansion." The proper approach to stubs about notable topics is to expand and reference the stubs, not to delete them.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  05:53, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Cullen, I generally share your outlook, but we do need to maintain a minimum level of quality. Very few people actually edit these articles, meanwhile they rot with no content or sources. Yes, ideally we'd have a full, decent sourced article on every school district in world, but a line does need to be drawn and we should strive to at least have a sourced fact bare minimum for stubs created so they become a constructive thing rather than a pollutant. That you have mentioned nothing of quality and errors, nor encouraged Lutas to improve his standard, is concerning to me.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld  18:05, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Dr. Blofeld, I respect your opinion and have left a message on the talk page for TMLutas, expressing general support for the creation of these school district articles, but also expressing concern about the quality level of the stubs. As I told that editor, I have no expertise in bots and automated procedures for creating articles, and I know that such automated efforts have been controversial in other contexts. I am an old fashioned guy, and I write, reference and expand articles slowly, and in a very personalized way. If, though, better bots can be programmed that produce better, more useful, more accurate stubs by extracting information from databases, I do not object. So, I encourage TMLutas to shift from quantity to at least minimal levels of quality, and I would feel far more confident with an effort that produced 500 decent starter articles than 5000 miserable, inaccurate stubs filled with errors and garbage. So, perhaps, we are not so much out of agreement here.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  04:55, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi there. I came across your edits and found them to be very impressive. I'm sure you've been asked this before, but I'm wondering if you've considered running for adminship.

Re: Frieda and Diego Rivera
Sure, no problem. The ANI thread is here: Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents. If you'd like the article restored to your userspace, that shouldn't be of a problem; just let me know. It's just that all of this user's articles have been mostly copyvios (from books, which makes them more difficult to detect), and what isn't tends to be not worth saving.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Frieda and Diego Rivera.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Frieda and Diego Rivera.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:31, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Chocolate project
Hello Mercurywoodrose: In my opinion, your best bet would be to create a Chocolate WikiProject. People don't contribute to task forces much nowadays, as evidenced per (see revision histories): I'm currently busy with other projects, articles, etc., but in the future I could help out with getting this going. I don't have enough time right now. A significant part of the process after a WikiProject is created is sending out invitations to users who would likely be interested (e.g. those who contribute to chocolate-related articles), in order to establish a member base.

 * No rush, Im going to probably just work on the chocolate articles for a while, and maybe get a list together of people editing them. If its ok to start a wikiproject whose subject matter is a subset of another project, then i see your point about task forces. the SFBA task force was almost completely inactive until i came along (as was the portal). Ill get back to you if i need help at some point, probably not for some months.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 18:24, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

P:Coffee
Why? There is no associated project, and this falls under P:Drink.
 * The portal was created by a SPA, without discussion, as part of a project to recreate the former Coffee and Tea Wikiproject which had died and was folded down into the Beverages Task Force. The Drinks portal, which was created specifically to deal with that merger, is associated with The Beverages Task Force. Your example of The Los Angeles Portal is a bit off because it is associated with the Los Angeles Task force of WikiProject California.


 * I deleted that stuff as the page, as you stated, was a wreck, not maintained and a minimum of links. It is redundant to the Drink portal. --Jeremy <small style="font-size:85%;">(blah blah • I did it!) 05:47, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Portal:Coffee
I think that Portal:Coffee has potential for improvement and expansion. Not to criticize, but rather than nominating it for deletion, it may have been more functional to seek editors that may be interested in improving it. At any rate, I've undid the speedy deletion tags on each subpage (placed by another editor), so people can actually view the content that is already in place. The tag atop the portal suffices.

Chocolaterie
Would you mind correcting the coding of citations in Chocolaterie, please? — O'Dea (talk) 23:17, 2 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I have looked at a sample of articles you created and see that you have a habit of coding citations inadequately. Since you have worked in Wikipedia for six years and are such a greatly experienced editor with nearly 58,000 edits, you really should spend a couple of minutes reading Citing sources. At a minimum, all you have to do is add,  It is especially desirable that such a prolific editor as you should master the simple technique of citation, since you code so many of them. Thank you for your contributions, and happy editing.  — O'Dea  (talk) 23:31, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot’s recommendations. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information in the consent information sheet.

We have added information about the readership of the suggested articles using a Low/Medium/High scale which goes from Low to High.

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.

Disambiguation link notification for May 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Album cover, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Born and Raised (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.

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.

IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.

Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.

Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:


 * Views/Day : Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
 * Quality : Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.

The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:


 * Content : Is more content needed?
 * Headings : Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
 * Images : Is the number of illustrative images about right?
 * Links : Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
 * Sources : For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

WP:FOOD Needs You!
Hi there Mercurywoodrose! I've noticed you have yourself listed as a member of the Food and Drink Wikiproject. Unfortunately it looks like the project has been slowly sliding into inactivity except for a couple of people. That makes me a sad potato, and nobody likes a sad potato amirite?

If you'd like to turn my frown upside down, can you do two small things?

First off, go here and add Tick (✅) next to your name if you're still part of the project.

Second, go to the project talkpage and participate in a discussion about how to make the project more active, and how to go about making articles in our area of interest a lot better.

You don't want to make me cry, do you? Potatoes have a lot of eyes you know. So come on, join in! :)

If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
 * state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.

WikiProject Food and drink/tli
Hello Mercurywoodrose: The top-level importance page nominations page for WikiProject Food and drink hasn't received any input except from you (and thanks). Since I nominated the articles, it would be best for another person to close the entries that have received !votes and update the talk pages for the articles. A problem is that virtually nobody contributes to the page, and the way entries are all boxed-in on the project's main page seems to possibly discourage participation, like people just skim over them. If somebody doesn't close the entries that have actually received support, and update the articles accordingly, they will likely just sit there in limbo forever. Another editor insists that an uninvolved editor close entries, but when nobody comes along to actually do it, it is counterproductive. Perhaps the instructions on the page should be revised, because it isn't working out. Please respond at your convenience. Northamerica1000(talk) 01:26, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:


 * Content : Is more content needed?
 * Headings : Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
 * Images : Is the number of illustrative images about right?
 * Links : Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
 * Sources : For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
