Lammert van Raan
Hi: the reason I had made the edits I did to the talk page for van Raan is that if it's left as is, it shows up on the list of biography articles without living parameter and biography articles without listas parameter maintenance categories; these are part of the WP Biography tag on the talk page. They show up as hidden categories at the bottom of the talk page (at least in the format I see). May I update those parameters? --FeanorStar7 11:01, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Korean Surname Kim and Lee
Hi. I noticed a new user put some information in the Lee(Korean Surname) and Kim(Korean surname) section, saying that 6 million Korean people trace their lineage to Heo Hwang Ok. Imagine how funny this argument is. I just checked the souce, and could not find any reliable information on this opinion. Please check. Also, I would appreciate if you could help me with adding some new information to Lee(surname) section. This is a very important information. Korean surname Lee(李) was originally written as Ni(니) in Korea. You can check this fact in a lot of historical materials. However, as time passed, Koreans started to pronounce Ni(니) as Ee beginning from 19th century. And during the Japanese colonization era, We built a new language system, that has changed all the words that start with ㄹ(L pronunciation) to ㅇ(Y or I sound) including surnames. So basically, over 12 million people's surname spelling has changed. This is very important, because in North Korea or China, this is not the case. This rule is only applicable in South Korea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.198.112.251 (talk) 20:48, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Help with a query and a heads up!
A recent job advert by the spectator magazine asks applicants to find out the location from which the wikipedia entry for John Bercow was last edited. As you will know this edit was done by yourself. I don't know if the magazine told you about this before they did so or whether you are aware now but thought you'd like to know that there may be a few people trying to find out where you are based!

I would also be enormously grateful if you could help a budding journalist with this query! If you wouldn't mind doing so (obviously I would only expect a town/city from you, not a precise location) then I can give you some contact details to do so.

Labeling Forum for Democracy as far-right
Hello MrClog,

I think Forum for Democracy shouldn't be labeled as far-right on Wikipedia. This sketches the wrong image of this party. Labeling a party 'far-right' is a serious accusation, since it throws the party in a heap with some of the most violent, antidemocratic, racist and fascist organizations in world history like Hitler's Nazi Party and Mussolini's National Fascist Party. Because of this, I don't agree that the cited articles shouldn't explain why FvD is far-right. Labeling a party 'far-right' should first be discussed properly before it's added to Wikipedia. Looking to the edit history, I'm not the first person that objects to this label. Therefore I hope you'll take my objections seriously.

With kind regards,

Fresiae — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fresiae (talk • contribs) 18:05, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
 * , thank you for your comment. I would like to make a few points:
 * We don't just label FvD as a far-right party, the article says it's "[r]ight-wing to far-right", which seems to accurately describe what reliable sources say about the party.
 * I don't agree that the cited articles shouldn't explain why FvD is far-right. - I understand where you come from, but here on Wikipedia there is no requirement for reliable sources to justify all claims they make.
 * The fact people associate "far-right" with only Nazis and fascists is not a reason to only label those people/groups as far-right.
 * Regards, MrClog (talk) 18:15, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi MrClog,

Thanks for your quick reaction and explanation. If it's alright with you, I would like to make a few other points.

1) Shouldn't we be more critical of who is listed as a reliable source? For example, you added a report of Willem Wagenaar as a source of why FvD can be considered far-right. But he stated in a Volkskrant article that calling FvD far-right goes too far. An opinion also held by Sarah de Lange, professor at the Faculty of Social and Behavioral Sciences of the University of Amsterdam. They both were interviewed by the Volkskrant, a highly respected newspaper in the Netherlands. They stated that although FvD is quite radical, they aren't unconstitutional and antidemocratic and therefore calling them far-right is going too far. Moreover, Willem Wagenaar is a convicted criminal who played a role in an attack on a Dutch far-right political party in Kedichem on March 29, 1986. Shouldn't we be more cautious to cite people who may be prone to personal bias?

2) One of the cited authors is Thijs Kleinpaste. He wrote the Foreign Policy article that is cited. But if you look at his Twitter account, you can see that he's very politically motivated. He's full of personal bias to the point that can be considered unprofessional. Yesterday he retweeted a tweet of Cas Mudde in which he even called the Dutch conservative-liberal party VVD of PM Mark Rutte 'far-right'. I don't think he's very reliable to be honest. My point is that unreliable and/or politically motivated authors can write for reliable and credible newspapers.

I would very much like you to read both Volkskrant articles since it perfectly sums up the discussion about 'how right-wing' FvD really is. The conclusion of both articles: FvD is a right-wing party which sometimes copies far-right rhetoric. But that alone is not enough to call the whole party far-right.

 * , thank you for your response. Please allow me to respond to your two points:
 * It is indeed true that numerous reliable sources do not see FvD as 'far-right' (and to be fair, I personally agree with them), but there are also numerous reliable sources that argue differently. Therefore, I think that "[r]ight-wing to far-right" is fair. Regarding the report, mister Wagenaar (of the Anne Frank Foundation) only "provided support" to the authors, the authors themselves seem reliable to me.
 * I have removed that source, as it seems to be an opinion article by someone that just happens to have an opinion, and thus it's not reliable.
 * Would it be an idea to add a section to the article that discusses the "Right-wing or far-right" discussion as a form of compromise?
 * Regards, MrClog (talk) 19:08, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Regards, MrClog (talk) 19:08, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

-- Hi MrClog,

Thanks for the answer again. I think it's an excellent idea to add a "controversies" or "how right-wing is FvD?" section to the article. But, this section should be written very carefully. I don't want to ignore the fact that from time to time there are serious concerns about the extreme character of the party. But, most controversies surrounding FvD started with statements from party-leader Baudet. He sometimes flirts with dubious ideas like "The great replacement" and other aspects of white supremacist ideology. The party program itself, however, doesn't contain any of that. That's why I objected to the labeling of 'far-right'. But I get why the cited articles call FvD far-right when its leader says dubious things. But it still gives a wrong impression of the character of the whole the party. In fact, an important figure of the party, Henk Otten, strongly criticized Baudet for his rhetoric a few days ago in NRC newspaper. There's a lot of internal critique on Baudet's behavior. A separate "controversies" section would do justice to this internal and external discussion.

Kind regards,

Undoing my edits on 'Forum for Democacy'
Hello MrClog,

I noticed we were almost starting an editing war and would like to continue the conversation here. Could you give a constructive reason as to why you were reverting my edits. You have to know I wasn't advocating and do not have any agenda on here. I want Wikipedia to be factual and politically neutral and the 'Forum for Democracy' article clearly wasn't. The party has consistently denied any connection with the far-right and always identified as either a 'middenpartij' or just right-wing. The party's word itself is a much better source if you want to know what they stand for than second-hand sources by journalists, who could very well be opposing FvD and trying to smear their name by connecting them to xenophobic, racist and/or far-right groups and parties. I added proper sources for all my edits, often sourcing the party website when talking about ideological stances. I wasn't advocating, I was adding more information while also trying to make the article more politically neutral and factual.

Please explain your accusations, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freerka (talk • contribs) 23:04, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * , the way a party self-identifies is not more reliable than how independent sources describe them. There were 4 reliable sources that describe FvD as far-right linked to the article, and you remove them because the party leader denies being far-right. The party's website is obvious not reliable in this case. Thanks. --MrClog (talk) 23:10, 23 April 2019 (UTC)


 * How so? If the party's official party line doesn't have a single correspondence with the Wikipedia definition of 'Far-Right' (Extreme nationalism, nativism, authoritarianism, often associated with nazism, fascism, chauvinism, ultranationalism, xenophobia, racism etc), why should the party be categorised as 'Far-right' on Wikipedia.
 * You can suspect the party of secretely being far-right and hiding behind centre-right standpoints, but that would be a (conspiracy) theory and an accusation of deception towards the party. That's very subjective on your (and the journalists') part and does not belong on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freerka (talk • contribs)


 * Wikipedia is based on reliable sources. If reliable sources call the party far-right, Wikipedia follows that, even if you disagree with that (and believe me, I personally do not consider FvD far-right). Thanks. --MrClog (talk) 23:28, 23 April 2019 (UTC)


 * If (reliable) sources think the party might have some connections to the far-right and their ideology, you could add a specific part to the article talking about what kind of criticism the party gets. Adding this to the sidebar strongly implies the party is an undisputed 'right-wing to far-right' party. The party doesn't claim to be far-right. Most people don't think the party is far-right and an honest look at the characteristics of far right politics will also show you the party isn't far-right. Please keep the party's own identification for the sidebar and add possible accusations and suspicions by others in a specific section called 'criticism' or something similar to that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freerka (talk • contribs) 14:03, 24 April 2019 (UTC)


 * , can you point me to any Wikipedia policy that says that we should follow the party's own identification? You seem to base all your arguments on your personal opinion and not on reliable independent sources. If these sources call them right-wing to far-right, the article should reflect that. Also, please sign your comments by ending your message with 4 tiddles ( ~ ). Thanks. -MrClog (talk) 14:08, 24 April 2019 (UTC)


 * I can't point to any Wikipedia policy specifically saying that, but doesn't that speak for itself?
 * Many newspapers and magazines have written about how a party like Groenlinks is moving further to the left, sometimes even accusing them of flirting with the far-left, yet their party's Wikipedia article says they are 'centre-left to left-wing'.
 * Same goes for a party like D66 or VVD, which - according to many sources - have moved further to the left in recent years, yet their Wikipedia pages still describe them as 'Centre' (D66) and 'Centre-right' (VVD).
 * I think this is fair. These parties self-identify that way and their own description of their ideology is the closest you're going to get to factual truth. The sidebar is for a factual description of these parties' political position, not for an opinionated suspicion by some journalists. I'd like this to be consistent for all parties, including FvD. -Freerka (talk) 15:34, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
 * , if you can find reliable sources that call GreenLeft 'far-left', you are invited to change it. Same goes for D66 and VVD. - I can't point to any Wikipedia policy specifically saying that, but doesn't that speak for itself? No, it doesn't, and that's also why there is no policy supporting your idea. - their own description of their ideology is the closest you're going to get to factual truth Unfortunately, parties don't always tell the truth; that's why we rely on reliable sources. --MrClog (talk) 17:50, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
 * No I will not change Groenlinks' position to 'left-wing to far-left', because some newspapers have written about their association with far-left groups and their history as a Maoist party, because I'm an honest person. Groenlinks isn't far-left. FvD isn't far-right. Most Dutch parties are near the centre and associating these parties with extremist ideologies is unfair, hinders productive debate and could potentially motivate people to 'fight against nazis' or 'fight against commies', leading to situations we've seen happen before in The Netherlands. Let's be fair here, Al Jazeera (a Qatari news source which is often accused of having a left-wing bias on European and American affairs) is not more trustworthy than the party's own website when it comes to labeling a labeling a party as something as extreme as 'far right'. Sources only quickly referring to FvD as 'far-right' (with no further explanation) aren't enough to back labeling them as far-right on Wikipedia. You'll need a concrete and detailed explanation and look into their ideology from a trustworthy source to do something like that. -Freerka (talk) 19:33, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
 * , the sources I listed match the requirements at WP:RS. Your sources do not. --MrClog (talk) 20:52, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

An attempt to address your question
Hi MrClog. While I admire your enthusiasm to work in difficult areas of Wikipedia, I'm concerned that whatever is driving you may be preventing you from learning the basics of Wikipedia that are needed to work in those areas.

I don't expect that's an answer you like or want to hear, so let me try to provide some context.

I greet many new editors, and have a standard greeting for those that I think could use some direction around the more difficult areas to work in. Here's the main portion: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

In a nutshell: I'm emphasizing the need for editors to learn Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and identifying areas of Wikipedia where not understanding policy well can quickly lead to actions against an editor. (I'm ignoring vandalism, spamming, etc. because I'd simply leave a warning instead.)

Other editors have written essays that go into far more breadth and depth in orienting new editors. I especially like User:WLU/Generic sandbox and User:Jytdog/How. Finally, there are a number of essays addressing the required competencies of editors, of which Competence is required is a good introduction.

I hope that's at least enough to get a discussion started if you like. --Ronz (talk) 16:55, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

It seems to me though, to be WP:COMMONSENSE to combine multiple milestones into 1 template that was specifically designed for this purpose to be used (instead of having separate templates), so I figured I would be a bit WP:BOLD. Also, is there community consensus that only DYK talk is appropriate? If so, could you link me to the discussion? --MrClog (talk) 17:30, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * As far as I know it has never been discussed one way or the other. -- MelanieN (talk) 17:31, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , so I suppose it's fine to combine them into Article history as well as having them separate? Or is there the necessity to have a community discussion about this (trivial) matter? --MrClog (talk) 17:33, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) The template suggests including "multiple FACs, FARs... Good Article status, Articles for Deletion, Peer reviews and WikiProject reviews can also be included." Maybe you were the first one to think of adding DYKs, but I can follow your logic. Did you design the shortened version yourself? -- MelanieN (talk) 17:34, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , the option to include DYK/In the news/On this day has always been there for as far as I know. I, at least, didn't create that option. --MrClog (talk) 17:36, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, I don't object; was just surprised and wondering why this happened, since it is the first time I have seen it. If you are planning to change this by hand at multiple articles you will have your work cut out for you, since a bot adds the expanded version to the talk page every time an article gets a DYK. -- MelanieN (talk) 17:42, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Correction. Not an Ultra-Conservative, but a Conservative-Liberal party.
The party is not a Far-Right party. Sources in the Dutch section clears it up. They are NOT an Ultra Conservative party as they are a Conservative-Liberal Party. Misnaming their ideology is unhelpful

Deepika Agarwal Article Submission
Hey Mr. Clog! I see that you left a comment of the article being "not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia." May you elaborate on that and how I can resolve this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SlyKiinz (talk • contribs) 20:58, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , the general notability guideline states: If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. The subject also doesn't seem to match the subject-specific guideline for scientists and the subject-specific guideline for entertainers. If she really is as unnotable as it seems to me, then you cannot resolve this. After all, no amount of editing can overcome a lack of notability. What you could do, is present some sources that I didn't find that support the notability of the subject. Thanks, MrClog (talk) 10:28, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Request on 13:59:26, 28 May 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Brian Coughtrey
The page I was trying to create for Ralph Allen has been turned down as not notable... I checked out the page that defines notability, and the fact the he has works in the Canadian National Gallery, and Ontario Art Gallery meets the posted qualifications.

I guess I am confused.

Brian Coughtrey (talk) 13:59, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , does entering important collections mean that his work has been in the permanent collection of these galleries? If so, than I misunderstood the submission and I'll have a look at it again. --MrClog (talk) 14:47, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Yes, both galleries have purchased his work, and well as the Government on Ontario, and various public University galleries like at Concordia and Queen's. This is my first attempt at a page, but I would like do more if I can get this first one figured out. Ralph recently passed last month... so I will need to do some updates at some point, unless that is something an administrator needs to do.

Brian Coughtrey — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brian Coughtrey (talk • contribs) 17:19, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
 * An RfC seeks to clarify whether WP:OUTING should include information on just the English Wikipedia or any Wikimedia project.
 * An RfC on WT:RfA concluded that Requests for adminship and bureaucratship are discussions seeking to build consensus.
 * An RfC proposal to make the templates for discussion (TfD) process more like the requested moves (RM) process, i.e. "as a clearinghouse of template discussions", was closed as successful.

Technical news
 * The CSD feature of Twinkle now allows admins to notify page creators of deletion if the page had not been tagged. The default behavior matches that of tagging notifications, and replaces the ability to open the user talk page upon deletion.  You can customize which criteria receive notifications in your Twinkle preferences: look for Notify page creator when deleting under these criteria.
 * Twinkle's d-batch (batch delete) feature now supports deleting subpages (and related redirects and talk pages) of each page. The pages will be listed first but use with caution!  The und-batch (batch undelete) option can now also restore talk pages.

Miscellaneous
 * The previously discussed unblocking of IP addresses indefinitely-blocked before 2009 was approved and has taken place.
 * The 2019 talk pages consultation produced a report for Phase 1 and has entered Phase 2.

AE
I noticed you opened an AE thread and I commented there. On the other hand, you have not indicated what type of enforcement is needed and why. He seems to have been subject to a temporary ban about a particular topic but that too has expired since (Special:Diff/881506754). I didn't check if it applies, but maybe your concern is a 1RR policy violation? In any case, my comment there is mostly irrelevant to existing sanctions, if any, that alone will likely not result in anything. — Paleo Neonate  – 09:49, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
 * , I am requesting discreationary sanctions against the editor (like a TBAN). MrClog (talk) 09:56, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted
Hi MrClog. Your account has been added to the " " user group. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encylopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember: The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:32, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging  pages for  maintenance. so  that  they are aware.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
 * If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

Pink TV
Hello. I wanted to ask why would You want to delete page Pink TV (Serbia), because it is the same text previously used on RTV Pink. The title of ′RTV Pink′ isn't right because it means both Radio and Television Pink, and the article gives only information about Television Pink. — HoneymoonAve27 (talk) 15:11, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, alright. In that case, I have removed the deletion tag. I did add a different deletion tag, though, because you are not allowed to move pages by copy-pasting them, because it would then be impossible to see in the page's history who made what edits to the page. I have restored RTV Pink. After Pink TV (Serbia) has been deleted, you can move the RTV Pink to TV Pink (Serbia) by following the instructions at Moving a page. Thanks, MrClog (talk) 15:19, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for helping out with hook promotions at DYK. But why did you blank all the credit lines that hadn't been filled?. Yoninah (talk) 20:05, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Yes, every set has 8 credit lines. "Example" refers to the page name, "Editor" to the nominator. It's also important to copy the entire credit line from the nomination page, including the "subpage" parameter. Here I did that for your hook promotion.

UPP
This does not seem like an accurate closing statement. In particular an editor has disputed that the added sources are WP:SIGCOV, there is not enough of an explanation as to why it cannot qualify as SIGCOV -- ???. Beyond the most basic meaning of SIGCOV and pointing out that these are brief mentions in lousy sources, what more explanation could there possibly be? The second keep !vote does not say anything outside of WP:AADD. Meh. FWIW, I guess. I don't plan to challenge it, since I can't imagine it being closed as anything other than "no consensus" (seems hard to avoid most of the time when the numeric majority is based on lousy arguments, unfortunately), but I'll register an objection that we're keeping this poorly sourced corporate directory entry nonetheless. :P &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 00:30, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Upon looking at it again, I do believe that you indeed explained why there is no WP:SIGCOV in the 2 articles which were added. Whilst you could say that the last keep !vote qualifies as WP:SOURCESEXIST, but because the !vote specifically mentions which term to use for a search, I do believe that I should weigh it in (maybe not to its fullest extent). That comment has not been responded to, which is why I decided to go with keep, though I agree that no consensus is possible as well. If you would like, I could revert my closure and have somebody else close the article. --MrClog (talk) 06:24, 24 June 2019 (UTC); edited 06:25, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply. Probably not a good use of time to reopen it, since it's been open a while without additional participation and I doubt anyone will have the fortitude for an against-the-numbers delete closure anyway. Like I said, no consensus seemed the most likely outcome, and that's not really different, practically. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 21:24, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019


Hello ,

More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important. Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR. The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever. NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so  you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations. Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for  the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging. Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway. School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

 * The scope of CSD criterion G14 has been expanded slightly to include orphan "Foo (disambiguation)" redirects that target pages that are not disambiguation pages or pages that perform a disambiguation-like function (such as set index articles or lists).
 * A request for comment seeks to determine whether Office actions should be a policy page or an information page.

Technical news
 * The Wikimedia Foundation's Community health initiative plans to design and build a new user reporting system to make it easier for people experiencing harassment and other forms of abuse to provide accurate information to the appropriate channel for action to be taken. Community feedback is invited.

Miscellaneous
 * In February 2019, the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) changed its office actions policy to include temporary and project-specific bans. The WMF exercised this new ability for the first time on the English Wikipedia on 10 June 2019 to temporarily ban and desysop . This action has resulted in significant community discussion, a request for arbitration (permalink), and, either directly or indirectly, the resignations of numerous administrators and functionaries. The WMF Board of Trustees is aware of the situation, and discussions continue on a statement and a way forward. The Arbitration Committee has sent an open letter to the WMF Board.

Draft:Charles A. Stone
I was about to continue my work but could not find my Charles A. Stone article. Not sure why you moved this article from my stub to "draft". My posting comment stated: (Infobox, more info to start on important bio). For what is there, we have plenty of references for all as per the link to his NYT obit which has substantial info. Please reverse. Thank you. Stretchrunner (talk) 18:00, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , thank you for your comment. First of all, I still believe the page should currently be in the draft namespace. Now, second, let me explain why: references 2 and 3 don't talk about Mr. Stone, but about his company. As such, they do not help the article meet the general notability guideline. The article currently has only one reliable source that discusses Mr. Stone in a significant manner. I wasn't able to find more sources via Google, though I may have missed sources or I may not have access to all sources about Mr. Stone. I, therefore, suggest that you add enough sources to demonstrate notability and then hit the  button, so a volunteer will review the article to make sure it meets the notability guidelines. --MrClog (talk) 20:59, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Would you be kind enough to help me understand what other materials makes you recommend the article for deletion. Danielos69 (talk) 19:34, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Sure! On Wikipedia, we have the principle of "notability", which determines which subjects (like which people) should have an article on them. For example, there is no article on me, because I am not notable. All articles must meet the general notability guideline, which means that there should be significant coverage from independent reliable sources about the subject. In addition, we have certain subject-specific notability guidelines, which help us determine which subjects are likely notable. In the case of Mr. Igbafe, I have not been able to find significant coverage in independent reliable sources, nor did I find that he meets the notability guideline for scholars. As such, I recommended the article be deleted. Note that no amount of editing can overcome a lack of notability, but what you can do, is finding independent reliable sources to proof that Mr. Igbafe is notable. Feel free to ask any other questions you have. --MrClog (talk) 19:41, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

 * The reason I "removed" the unblock request was because they didn't actually file a new request, they simply removed your answer to the request. MrClog (talk) 08:18, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
