Draft:New Town Kolkata Development Authority (NKDA)
Hi North8000. Hope you are keeping well. Can you please review this article, as I added two additional references and let me know if its good to move to main space. If you have any suggestions for similar articles kindly let me know. Also I will add relevant references for similar articles for other cities and take your approval before moving them to main space. Thanks in advance. Gardenkur (talk) 13:16, 10 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Per our discussion above, I wanted to address 2 "development authority" articles at the same time. Could we do it that way......i.e. give me a link to a second one when you are ready? North8000 (talk) 14:47, 10 August 2022 (UTC) Added bolding 8/19/22. North8000 (talk) 19:21, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi North8000. Sorry for the confusion earlier. You can review this development authority. Thanks. Gardenkur (talk) 03:43, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi North8000. Sorry for the reminder again as I added few more references to one more development authority. You can review this development authority. Thanks. Gardenkur

Hi North8000. Hope you are keeping as its been long time having seen any message from you. You can review this development authority. Thanks. Gardenkur Hi North8000. Sure will do. Sorry saw the message late. Will do accordingly. Gardenkur (talk) 10:03, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi North8000. You can review this article too.Thanks. Gardenkur (talk) 07:09, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi North8000. You can review this article. Thanks. Gardenkur (talk) 11:54, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I mentioned another development authority article because I also wanted to deal with the commonalities. Do you have another development authority" one? Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 19:21, 19 August 2022 (UTC) North8000'' (talk) 02:11, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi North8000. Sorry to remind you. Can you please review above two development authority articles to move them to main space. Thanks. Gardenkur (talk) 00:31, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi North8000. Hope you are keeping fine as it has been some time since I saw your communication last. Sorry to remind you. If you kindly advise me on above articles which are in draft stage, I can slowly start moving them to main stage to clean my draft section. Thanks in advance. Gardenkur (talk) 02:20, 7 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I didn't realize that you had provided two development authority articles as I requested.    Will do. North8000 (talk) 13:50, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Recapping, the two development authority articles are:   Draft:New Town Kolkata Development Authority (NKDA) and Draft:Nazira Development Authority. I'm starting the work now. North8000 (talk) 21:29, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi North8000. Hope you are keeping well. It has been more than a month since I have submitted few articles for your review. Could you please complete it asap and let me know your feedback. Need to clean my draft space too or I will have many articles at a time to handle not to loose them out of draft. Thanks. Gardenkur (talk) 02:59, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I did a substantial amount of work looking at those two articles and then became so busy/buried in real life that I've not had any substantial time for Wikipedia, nor will I until approx October 24th. IMO I know what should happen on those, but it will take me about 1 hour that I don't have to politely and respectfully explain and support what I have to say, including with our differences in native languages.  I could give you the short version now if you wish and describe it in more detail later if our wish. Those two articles are about 95% an exact copy of each other (and I think that this is probably the case with all of your development authority articles).  And the "95%" which is copied between them is about development authorities in India in general, not about the the particular development authority which is the topic of the article.  And for those two, the other 5% is basically trivial information about the specific development authority which probably shouldn't even be in Wikipedia. In my opinion what you should do is create a nice article about Development Authorities in India in general.  And if you have some non-trivial information about the development authority in a particular city, you could put information into the article about that city.  And then I'd suggest getting your other development authority articles in draft space deleted.   You should not feel bad about not having a large quantity of articles created. I've had about 68,000 Wikipedia edits since 2009, about half of them in article space including taking one of them through Good Article, Featured Article and worldwide "article of the day". And I've only created about 20 new articles, with only about half of those being technically new articles. You are just getting started and have hundreds of new articles and I think are running into the inevitable issues from that and it would be good for you to make the adjustment in your approach.  Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 12:04, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi North8000. Thanks for your detailed reply with guidance and sorry for disturbing you in middle of your issues. In such case can we redirect respective development authorities not confirming to notability to those cities. In this case if anyone wants information or is creating new articles on that name later, can see it as available in this platform. I have created these initially to update unique information for each authority as History, Chairman,location of office,email and website to reach them as informational tool to public. Iam sure in future someone will keep creating them. Thanks again. Gardenkur (talk) 12:23, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd support and help in that plan.  Just clarifying, right now we're only talking about the development authority articles. Again, I'll be mostly off wiki until October 24th.   But we could start by you picking one of those articles and we could work through the details. Also, I'd probably ask for a 2nd opinion on the plan at NPP.  And later do them all.  North8000 (talk) 16:54, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi North8000. Thanks for your support and opinion. We will proceed as you guide and do accordingly. Presently will post here all development authority of small towns and villages which doesnot have notability. Thanks again. Gardenkur (talk) 03:35, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi North8000. Hope you are keeping well and back for review. When free request you to start the review process and guide me accordingly.Thanks. Gardenkur (talk) 12:19, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the post. I'm back now and trying to catch up. I'll get started on those. Will take the first one as a test/example. Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 15:44, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello Gardenkur! For development authority articles it was easy to decide because I was 100% certain that they should not exist as separate articles. They did not contain suitable sources to establish wp:notability of the topic and IMO it unlikely that such sources don't exist. So a core guideline dictates that result. Also, there was essentially no good material in there that was unique to the development authority of the particular city. Typically there was just a sentence or two about a minor event. So there was no issue with simply converting to a redirect without trying to transfer any material to the city article.

Things are very slightly different for the Municipal corporation articles. The articles don't have sources to establish wp:notability, but, since the municipal corporation is basically another name for the government of the city, one could argue that such sources exist. So it's not a clear absolute that wp:notability prohibits existence as a separate article. I took a look at a few of the articles. They have the same issue that about 98% of the material is "boilerplate" about India Municipal corporations in general and 2% is some facts (like the names of the people currently holding offices) which could potentially be good material for the city article. So each of these is basically a "sub article" to the city article but with only a very tiny bit of content. Although the core guideline doesn't clearly dictate it, in my opinion these shouldn't exist as separate articles and I would not be comfortable with moving them into mainspace as articles. I see these as the possibilities:
 * 1) I think that the best scenario would be to take the small amount of unique material (and sources for it) and moving it to the the corresponding city article. You would need to be the one to do the "move material" work because I don't have enough wiki-minutes to take on that work.   Do you want to do that "move" work?
 * 2) If not, my #2 choice would be for me to simple convert the articles into redirects as I did with the development authority articles.
 * 3) The other possibility is for you to just do whatever you wish to do next with these without my involvement.

What do you think?

Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 00:39, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi North8000. Thanks for your detailed response. I understand that the articles on Municipal Corporation are bit confusing on meeting wp:notability, but being the governing agencies of town these are important corporations.You can atleast move some of them where I added relevant references and they meet the Wikipedia policies. In case of others I will add more references. However they are created on guidance from constitution of India by notification in official gazette to improve the cities. Also the administrative offices of these institutions are important informational requirements.Gardenkur (talk) 13:36, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think that you understood my post. Here is what the main points were:
 * "Policy" dictated that the development authority articles shouldn't exist, and so I just implemented "policy" and turned them into redirects.
 * "Policy" does not dictate what should happen with the municipal corporation articles. So I am just giving my opinion.  My opinion is that the facts that are unique to (only for) that particular corporation should be moved to the corresponding city article and then the municipal corporation articles converted into a redirect to the city article. This would be possibility #1.  So I listed this and three other possibilities and asked your opinion. Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 18:57, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi North8000. Hope you are keeping well. Starting from 1 iam adding additional references to make it more Wikipedia notable. Kindly have a look during your free time and guide me accordingly.Thanks. Gardenkur (talk) 02:19, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

I still don't think that you understand my post. I will say it shorter and more directly but my apologies if that makes it sound rude. The municipal corporation articles probably to no violate wp:notability. But for the reasons give, it is my mere opinion that they should be merged into the city articles, and so I don't want to personally move them as articles into article space. So I gave choice #1, #2 and #3 above. Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 21:58, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi North8000. I will move Municipal Corporations after adding more related reliable references. Also kindly guide me on Electricity Regulatory Commissions. Thanks. Gardenkur (talk) 12:17, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Arbitrary break 2
Hi North8000. Thanks for your reply. I understood your suggestions. However, I feel that once moved to main space these articles will be subject to more additions on their geographical area,opportunities and challenges of each of these corporations and other relative information in the coming days. To make it more suitable to Wikipedia policies on articles for mainspace I am adding these references. There are already some of similar articles existing in Wikipedia platform and some point in future Iam sure someone will draft on these corporations. Thanks. Gardenkur (talk) 11:33, 9 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Maybe I'll move them as articles. I'm going to ask for advice at NPP.   <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 15:38, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

WP:LAWYERING
Hi North8000, I'm writing to follow up about this section of the Wikilawyering essay:
 * Unlike Wikipedia, the legal world is 90% about technicalities, and a part of a lawyer's job to achieve a result using technicalities. So "wikilawyering" merely means taking a practice that is a good idea in the legal world and moving it into Wikipedia where it is a bad idea.

I think the essay would be stronger without this text, although I appreciate your attempt to edit this section after I added a 'dubious' tag in a cheeky moment when the original text once again kept me from considering whether to cite the essay in a discussion.

From my view, a lawyer primarily works with facts and laws, not "technicalities", to represent the interests of their client. What are sometimes complained about as classic "technicalities", e.g. there was a search when technically a warrant should have been obtained (therefore the evidence found is excluded), or a suspect in custody is questioned even though they technically should have first been informed of their right to remain silent and to have an attorney (requiring whatever they said to be inadmissible), or a defendant was technically entitled to a competent attorney (and therefore entitled to a new trial), can actually be fundamental rights, e.g. the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. There are cases that appear more technical, e.g. that depend on what the meaning of "is" is, but I don't think that is what the gist of the essay is describing as disruptive behavior.

I make a distinction by thinking of Wikipedia as the "client", which I think can be helpful for warding off inconsistent interpretations of P&Gs based on personal preference. Overall, I think the focus on "technicalities" in the essay may be misplaced, because the essay seems more focused on the misuse of P&Gs in ways that may implicate conduct policies. Perhaps the essay could be revised to clarify the meaning of 'technicality' in the context of Wikipedia, because the term seems to be used as a shorthand for using P&Gs to achieve objectives that are contrary to the spirit and fundamental principles of the encyclopedia. Beccaynr (talk) 13:45, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the post. You should take a peek at how it was before I started working on it and also read the talk page from then. . "Wikilawyering" in Wikipedia was defined categorically much more severely, and lawyers / that profession was treated much broadly negative. I softened both up. The term is deeply entrenched in Wikipedia, and inevitably refers to a negative. And BTW, while everything that you said about the profession is true, I think that undeniably so is "using technicalities". And the entrenched Wiki meaning clearly refers to the "using technicalities". Unless you would advocate deletion of the essay, I think that it is kind and positive that it can be in the context of the meaning in Wikipedia. On another note, IMO the most common use of Wikilawyering is to POV an article. This can be mild situations and IMO the term needs to be usable for mild situations. While one could argue that POV'ing article is "working against the aims of Wikpedia", the latter is a broader and more severe accusation and I think that the term needs to be usable for milder cases without that escalation. So I think that something "invoking policy or guideline for other than it's intended purpose" says that well, and also is a reminder of how P&G's are used and are supposed to be used in Wikipedia....for the intended purpose. Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 02:45, 21 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi North8000, I decided to write on your Talk page because I had reviewed some of the edit history and noticed you had added the content . I think it should be removed because it seems distracting from the main points of the essay. It also does not seem kind nor positive, because it is a stereotype typically perpetuated in service of the denial of civil rights.
 * I also don't think a culture of broad negativity towards attorneys on Wikipedia is sufficient to support the specific content, even if the culture still exists, and maybe it should stop if it does. As a lawyer, I think the term 'wikilawyering' is great, but I don't think attorneys should be inaccurately portrayed to make the point about wikiconduct, and I think a more accurate portrayal of the legal profession can make the point more clearly.
 * So I'm not advocating for deletion of the essay, because I think it can be improved by removing the inaccurate POV I noted above, and I think it would help to have a little more precision in how the essay communicates its core concepts. But we can continue the discussion on the essay Talk page to seek more input from other editors - I just wanted to start by chatting with you because it is one of your contributions to the essay. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 03:48, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

I'm not married to any particular wording. I am to keeping a couple of core things:


 * Should include using P&G's for other than their intended purpose
 * Should include / acknowledge non-severe forms

And just noting, it needs to explain the wikipedia term.

Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 04:04, 21 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Of course! and I will try to draft some proposed text over the next few days for a little more precision in the wording. Cheers, Beccaynr (talk) 04:11, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Need some assistance regarding a Wiki conference
Hey North, glad to speak to you again. I hope you're doing amazing. Recently, it was announced that Wikimedia would conduct its third conference in India, between 28-30 April 2023 in Hyderabad, Telangana. I felt like I should be taking part in it since I reside in the same country. Can you help me out with the process of registration and what will be my purpose of going there? Like can I just attend it as a spectator since it will be my first time? I'd be really helpful. Regards. Below is the link pertaining to the conference.

side note: I am blocked on Wiki commons, will it somehow affect the registration?

Edit warring
Since you cannot decipher the diffs, I'll be happy to do step-by-step edits for your edification. The result will be the same. Just stay out until I'm done. Grorp (talk) 04:14, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Not that you can make that demand, but it's fine with me. And stop making false accusations of edit warring. Nobody has crossed that line yet but you are much closer to it.  It's a highly contentious article with significant warranted concerns about COI edits by Scientology folks.   A massive bundle of individually un-revertable edits is a way to remove scrutiny by making it too time consuming (not the BS "cannot decipher" crap) to review/deal with which is not appropriate in this case. And so a more incremental approach is common practice for these cases, not for my "edification"    Please unbundle into individually revertible edits with edit summaries, or take it to talk if you  disagree with that approach. I don't know the situation with regards to yourself, but if you are simply NPOV working to improve the article, thank you for your efforts.   Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 04:29, 14 January 2023 (UTC)


 * If you have no prior knowledge of my editing work in the Wikipedia pages of Scientology, then I invite you to look at my edit history (contributions). FYI, tiny-steps-edits are not my style and don't fit with the way my brain works while trying to update out-of-date articles. When I feel there might be blowback on an edit, I usually have more to say than can fit in an edit summary and direct readers to the talk page. The rest of my edits are pretty recognizable and/or non-controversial. By now, I'm pretty sure you've been able to see that the edits I had made in that article were not controversial at all.


 * Most of the Scientology articles were written in the flush of massive public interest around 2008 when Anonymous came on the scene to protest Scientology. Many of the articles have little "digs" that aren't really appropriate for an encyclopedia, and are not necessary for readers to understand the subject. As such, a lot of the 'see also' and 'external links' sections are bloated with redirection to other (usually negative) articles of Scientology which are unrelated to the topic of the page. Citations have aged and need their URLs updated from current websites or copies gotten from online archives. Many articles suffer from "too many cooks" (including enthusiastic additions by critics and careful excisions by Scientologists) and no longer make any sense when you read them; those need straightening out.


 * The article Scientology status by country has been on my list of things to work on, but Xxxxx's edit took me there and one thing led to another. I hope my transfigured incrementals makes sense to you. Don't, however, expect incrementals from me as a custom. It is my hope that you will recognize the style and worth of my edits and see my good faith efforts to improve the encyclopedia and be willing to try to decipher atypical diffs rather than request exhaustive explanations. Grorp (talk) 05:22, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
 * } Thanks for the ping, the explanation and your work.  My points remain the same and so I won't repeat them.  IMO my comments regarding large bundles of edits on controversial article might be useful to you.     It ended up well including your most recent set of edits and so again, thanks for your work.

Trickle-Down NPOV topic
Your last addition was fantastic. I've been trying to make this point for awhile and I think your example is the best one so far. We need to be very careful discussing impacts because we are validating the concept in wikivoice. The welfare queen example is perfect. If we say this is the impact, we de facto are calling them welfare queens through synth. Good response! Squatch347 (talk) 20:10, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Re: 3RR
The relevant text is in the pink box located at the WP:3RR hyperlink - An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes or manually reverses other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert.

Best. Newimpartial (talk) 21:29, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I read that differently. That if a combination of consecutive edits is a revert, it's still a revert even if each one alone is not. Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 21:42, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I hear what you're saying, but given the very generous way individual edits are interpteted as reverts in general, it isn't clear to me how a revert could emerge in the aggregate from edits that are not themselves reverts, considered separately. But in any event, the "case law" at WP:3RRN is fairly clear that consecutive edits always count as only a single revert. Newimpartial (talk) 21:49, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

World War II and the history of Jews in Poland: Arbitration case opened
Hello ,

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence. Please add your evidence by April 04, 2023, which is when the first evidence phase closes. Submitted evidence will be summarized by Arbitrators and Clerks at Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence/Summary. Owing to the summary style, editors are encouraged to submit evidence in small chunks sooner rather than more complete evidence later.

Details about the summary page, the two phases of evidence, a timeline and other answers to frequently asked questions can be found at the case's FAQ page.

For a guide to the arbitration process, see Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

For the Arbitration Committee, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:12, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

COI "gap"
Hello North8000,

Just a quick note to greet you outside of a noticeboard discussion.

I appreciated your recent comment at the COIN thread that there is something tangible, in certain closely examined cases, between "strongly discouraged" and "forbidden" re COI editing. Part of the community seems to be using the "wikilawyering" charge to shut down any thoughtful exploration of that gap, which I find egregiously unjust.

You make the comment above that "too often Wikipedia is a nasty place". I feel this, and may or may not resume editing the encyclopaedia.

In case it's of interest, I made some general comments re my concerns about the editor experience, and tendentious applications of WP policy, in my statement at my user page. 

I found the content and tone of your contribution to that thread refreshing.

Sincerely, Walton22 (talk) 21:50, 15 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the post and compliment. I really don't enough about the situation to have an opinion.  The universe of Wikipedia editing can be a weird alternate universe and often a rough and tumble or nasty one. I don't have the wiki-minutes to take a deep broad dive, but if I can ever advise or help, let me know. Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 14:55, 16 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much. I was happy to just make broad brush strokes now by way of this introduction, but I do very much appreciate the offer to counsel a little in the future if need be. "Alternate universe" is right! There is great potential for justice here, and indeed I see it happen often. Walton22 (talk) 16:23, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Thanks.  There was one where I did it wrong and then fixed it a few minutes later. Is that the one that you are referring to?  or did I make another error.  :-) <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 14:11, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * It's this edit at . The entire point of my message is that you can't fix it – the ping only works if all of these conditions are fulfilled in the edit where you place the ping template:
 * The edit must add new lines of text, not just edit existing lines.
 * The edit must be signed by adding  to the end of the message.
 * The edit must either be entirely within an existing section (it cannot have new section headers in the middle) or start a new section (starts with a new section header).
 * The number of users to be pinged must be equal to or less than 50.
 * Thus, if you forget to add a ping, or get it wrong, the easiest thing to do is revert your reply entirely and then add it again with a working ping. Cheers. XAM2175  <i style="color:darkslategrey">(T)</i> 18:37, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023
Hello , Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by  and  with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of, and also some patches from , has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.

Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

kkk
I think you may be misrepresenting me here. I am trying to abide by WP:CIVIL, as we all should. I find it troublesome, but perhaps it was just an accident? DN (talk) 04:24, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I didn't write anything by accident nor did I write anything uncivil. I did civilly take issue with one thing that you said about those who feel opposite that you do but even that was just a sidebar to my post.  From your apologetic post I think you are being sincere and so I would like to offer a thought that might be useful.  I've familiar with TFD's work (for over a decade) and they are one of the most careful, non-emotional, academic and source-based editors that I've interacted with.  Their arguments (and mine) are just trying to sort out / discuss the specific narrow topics that you opened the section with.  I think that you are misreading this as being about some broader POV struggle.   There's nobody there who likes the KKK. IMO there are  people who want to make the KKK article be (just) about the KKK. What reinforced my thought about the possible misreading was that quote that you closed you post with is something the to me looks like excellent relevant material for the article but you seemed to mistakenly thinking that the people who want to exclude that (IMHO irrelevant) material that you opened the section with have some broader exclusion goals which they don't have. In short, you may be  imagining a battle that does not exist. And that a good way to sort that out would be to not conflate the narrow topic of your post that started that section with the other topics that you are mentioning, and to use the test of relevance to the article to help sort things out. Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 12:52, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I'll clarify my so-called "absurd argument" for you. It's because it is excluding him, not entirely, but it's still exclusion. If that's how you want to interpret it, that's up to you. I clarified that I wasn't accusing anyone and that I was talking about under-representation, not disassociation. You seemingly used a misinterpretation as a means to discredit arguments I technically wasn't trying to make, which is a Straw man. That is not something I get bent out of shape over because it isn't typically uncivil. Where it crossed the line was calling it "absurd" (your word) which adds Appeal to ridicule on top of the misrepresentation. Now try to look at it from my perspective. If my response to you was..."I didn't write anything by accident nor did I write anything uncivil", what would you do? Would you still take the time to try to clear the air in effort to keep things CIVIL? Think about it, unfortunately I won't be responding on the article talk page until this gets sorted out. Cheers. DN (talk) 01:42, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * BTW I don't mean to sound condescending, by linking those logical fallacies. I do agree with and respect the rest of your explanation, but I don't feel as though I am being acknowledged or understood properly, so when I respond sometimes I overcompensate. DN (talk) 02:31, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding. I NEVER said that you made an absurd argument. Let's let the actual words speak for themselves. Please review the following: It is not abundantly clear that this is NOT calling your argument absurd? My complaint was that you were misstating the arguments of others in a way that makes them / their argument look absurd. Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 13:51, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * You made the following statement: "While I don't agree with the explanations I've been given as to why excluding David Duke from the KKK article...."
 * And I responded to /referred to that statement saying "you open with saying that somebody made the absurd argument to generally exclude David Duke from the article (which I don't see anyone having said anything like that)"

Please be a bit careful when nominating players that have hundreds of top-flight appearances in populous countries, as you did to Mohamed El Amine Hammia.

Deletion discussion about AZ Alkmaar in European football

 * Hello North8800,
 * There a lot of similar pages in Wikipedia. i.e. Liverpool F.C. in international football, 1. FC Köln in European football, etc. Could you please explain me why are you thinking of deleting this page?
 * Magawla61 (talk)

The reasons were the ones that I gave at the AFD. If you mean responding to the "similar pages" point that you made, when IMO there is pretty clearly a problem, I don't consider the face that other similar ones exist to be a reason to change that.

New pages patrol newsletter
Hello ,

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Update on my status as a wikipedia editor
I just receive a notice on my talk page.

It seems I've been given a broad, indefinite ban on editing wikipedia articles.

No explanation has been given to me as to what I've done wrong.

I don't understand this. At all. Something is very wrong, here.

You are banned from editing certain Wikipedia articles. I've not looked at the background leading up to this. Regarding degree of culpability maybe there are three possibilities:


 * 1) Your behavior was fine by both Wikipedia real world standards and the result was a travesty.
 * 2) You behavior was fine by real world standards but (possibly in good faith.....ala "take it to talk") not by Wiki standards.  With the most likely issue being WP:bludgeoning.  And some thinking by the crowd that the referred to emerging-science that is overtaking widely accepted folklore widely presumed to be science-based but which has no basis in science.
 * 3) Your behavior was outrageous by Wiki standards .....maybe extreme WP:bludgeoning and maybe strongly pushing ideas (aside from the above) which are actually fringier.

My guess is that #2 is most likely. If so, based on what you said at ANI you've probably learned that and already shifted course. If so, I'd suggest editing the 99% of Wikipedia that you are not banned from (and practice that) and then ask to have the ban removed in 6 months or a year. In case it might help and if you wish, I'd agree to watch you for a month after that.

Do you have the authority to review AFC submissions?
I notice that you consistently like my new articles but they have a lot of trouble with getting through AFC. Are you an AFC reviewer too? Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 18:18, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I think that the short answer is yes, (the long answer is that it is not an explicit authority) but I haven't been doing AFC reviews.  I think that the (unintended) standard for getting out of AFC is tougher than passing NPP patrol because the AFC reviewer is sort of saying "this article is overall fine" where in NPP patrol we are sort of saying "it's OK for an article on this topic to exist."   If you have one that you'd like me to look at ping me and I'd be happy to and do my first AFC review. Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 18:44, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Here is one such page that I have been having trouble with Draft:KunitamaImmanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 18:24, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * That one has a few things that make it complicated.  Let's say that it wasn't already at AFC and I ran across it as a harried NPP'er who has about 5 minutes or less to review the article. (NPP is basicaly a case of about 20 reviewers trying to review about 500 articles per day) . I'd give the article a quick first read and then look at the references.  There is (only) one paragraph on line.  The other 2 references are to off-line books. There is nothing wrong with that!  However that leave me unable to verify suitable GNG coverage.  Next I would try to read the article to understand what it is saying / to learn what I can from the topic.   I must say that from a typical reader's standpoint, it is rough going. Throughout, your explanations utilize/depend on terms that the reader does not know.   Many are linked, but IMO links are to provide additional info rather than to make the sentence understandable by a typical reader.  So my recommendation would be to add a lot more plain English explanations.   So I read the article (without reading/learning all of the linked articles) and really didn't get an understanding of the topic from reading it.....if I had, that would have helped me assess.  So I'd google the topic.  Didn't find any in-depth coverage but found enough to know that it's a real/legit topic and which sounds likely to have more substantial off-line coverage. So I'd take a gamble and give it a NPP pass.   And I usually like to send the creator a note with a compliment or thanking them for their work. So, in my hypothetical scenario, I wasn't able to confirm that suitable GNG coverage existed, but took a guess/gamble that it does.
 * For this particular article, an AFC reviewer has already declined it so me jumping in would be a case of saying that I'm using my guess to override their review.
 * There are lots of possibilities here, too many to try to cover in my first post. Maybe a good next step is to ask for any thoughts of yours at this point? (as a prelude to discussing further)   Sincerely,  <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 19:40, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I’ll work on trying to make that one more comprehensible. What do you think about this one Draft:Suga Shrine?Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 23:57, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * If I were to run across that article during new page patrol, I would pass it.  But IMHO it has the same readability problem that I discussed above.  A reader could not learn anything from just reading it unless they first know/learn the specialized terms than nearly every sentence is dependent on. Let me give you an example.


 * Sentence dependent on knowledge of the terms: The nucleus of the atom holds together because the strong force exceeds the Coulomb's law force.


 * More explanatory...a person can learn something from reading it even if they do not know the meanings of the linked terms:  Since the protons within a nucleus of an atom are positively charged particles, they electrostatic force would make them repel each other, tending to make the nucleus fly apart.  But at the close distances within the nucleus, the strong force is even stronger, thus holding the nucleus together.


 * Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 12:15, 23 October 2023 (UTC)


 * What do you think about this draft Draft:Izumo_clan? Also for some reason the reply function is not workingImmanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 06:22, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I think your signature might be breaking it Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 06:22, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

 * At the time it was an unsourced BLP violation, and that was explained. As sources became available, I supported the addition.

You have to admit what I posted was the truth and you removed that. At the time the truth was not available online as Buffy has spent 60 years (and the entire existence of the Internet) weaving her false story. Now Wikipedia is one of the only places where researchers can find the truth about Buffy. Encyclopedia Britannica (lies), PBS documentaries (lies), Numerous Major Award sites (lies) and pretty much the rest of the Internet and so called authorities have validated her lies. I am glad that numerous contributors updated her wikipedia page and you came to accept the truth, Buffy is a Pretendian. :( — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:7133:1600:EC53:E8D5:9F9F:8ADB (talk) 00:17, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

What an interesting/ excellent page! I wouldn't know where to start regarding suggestions. My one thought is that it is written for people who have no knowledge in this specific area but sometimes presumes knowledge in it's explanations. Witness my unsuccessful experimentation (after reading it on that page) with how to make the daily tip appear at the top section. <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 14:18, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Railway station
Hi. I'm here to talk about what you did with Piaseczno Narrow-Gauge Railway. It's a mess. You cannot just change he name of article (Wierzbno station) and pretend its entirely new article. You didn't write anything about the railway, you didn't change the interlanguage link, and you didn't mention any other railway stations. Not to mention it's not even the first time you took upon yourself to "delete" article about minor railway station without any discussion.Artemis Andromeda (talk) 12:20, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I was going to AFD the railway station article during NPP (IMO clearly fails wp:notability) but instead thought of using it to start an article on the rail line.  I though another station article (with the same problem which I would have also AFD'd)   which I thought was on the same rail line and planned to put material from both articles into the rail line article.  I knew that it would temporarily be a mess, which is what you noted.  Then I noticed that the second article was not on the same rail line.  That is as far as I got. I think that an article on the rail line (including details and images on the stations) would work out excellently and survive.    At this point, what would you prefer to do?  Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 14:00, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Recapping, I was going to AFD the railway station article during NPP (IMO clearly fails wp:notability) but instead thought of using it to start an article on the rail line. There was another station article (with the same problem which I would have also AFD'd) which I thought was on the same rail line and planned to put material from both articles into the rail line article. I knew that it would temporarily be a mess, which is what you noted. Then I noticed that the second article was not on the same rail line. That is as far as I got. I think that an article on the rail line (including details and images on the stations) would work out excellently and survive. It turns out that the other station/article is not on this particular rail line. If I receive no response to my question below I plan to circle back and tidy the situation up a bit.<b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 21:36, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Don't start messes you don't intend to fix. Tell me, whose now gonna go and write an entire article about Piaseczno Railway? Me? You? Some third person who will stumble onto it in the next 10 years? You cannot just make messy articles like this and hope somebody else will fix it.Artemis Andromeda (talk) 15:27, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * That's not an answer to my question, which seems a very reasonable one.  In light of my response, what would like to happen next?   Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 19:37, 10 November 2023 (UTC) <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 19:37, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, as a sidebar, you had numerous implied accusations like "don't intend" which are pretty creative, particularly in light of what I wrote.  <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 19:41, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * If you wanted to delete the article, you should have had just report it for deletion on the notability basis. If you wanted to creat article about the Piaseczno Railway, you should have had just made a new article. Instead, you just changed the name, without changing any content in the article itself. It's now unencyclopedical, contins wrong categories, is still linked to Polish Wikipedia article about Wierzbno station, and talks only about this one station, and has basically no information about the railway line itself. You cannot just do that, and hope that somebody else will notice, and ever come to fix that, and write a proper article, because most of the times, nobody does (it's to niche to be notices).Artemis Andromeda (talk) 19:50, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Again no answer to my very reasonable question.  This is far simpler and easier to resolve than you seem to think. Again, what would like to happen next? <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 21:58, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

As an experienced NPP reviewer (and more recent AFC reviewer)
As an experienced NPP reviewer (and more recent AFC reviewer)  I would pass it. The main criteria is "should this exist as a separate article in Wikipedia?", with wp:notability being the main question. There are no obvious GNG references to confirm this. However, taking into account the (very old) period and the more obscure topic, the apparent type and quantity of references, the large diversity of footnoted coherent content developed from the references, I would make a judgement call and pass it. <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 16:05, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

General article notes
From my limited knowledge of you past article, this looks much more readable and substantial that many of your previous ones. By readable" I've seen previous ones that as basicaly unreadable by a typical reader. In nearly every sentence they rely on knowledge of unfamiliar terms to understand what the sentence says. This article has far fewer of such problems. Alo0s it is more substantial and more content and source that your typical one.<b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 16:05, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

As a typical AFC reviewer
As a typical (more cautious) AFC reviewer I might fail it or skip reviewing it. I'd see no clear cut GNG sources; it would take days of research to see if any of those sources confirm GNG compliance, especially since you did not include page numbers and the sources are off-line. And since you've had some troubles at the notice boards, I would be particularly cautious and err on the safe side. <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 16:05, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

Yamato no Kuni no Miyatsuko article
This article is a bit weaker in all of the areas I discussed above in the Owari section. I'll need more looking at it before I could say anything. Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 16:05, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * To a typical reader, this article is nearly unreadable. Nearly every sentence relies on knowledge on some obscure term to even know what the sentence says. Having an internal link to a term does not change that, a reader should not have to read another article just to figure out what each sentences says. Internal links are generally more "for further reading".    Also, you are creating redlinks for plan English words where the target of the redlink is not even in the sentence. I would not consider these items grounds to reject an article, but having an article with a severe problem in this area is a significant problem.  Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 16:18, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I tried to fix the Yamato no Kuni no Miyatsuko article. I see both of them were recently accepted. I noticed somehow the reply function broke so I am unsure what happened (unsigned by Immanuelle)
 * Cool. Hope my comments helped even if they were friendly-blunt.  Wish you the best and happy editing! Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 21:42, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah they were helpful. Yamato no Kuni no Miyatsuko is pretty difficult I think to explain and I will want to do further rewriting of it to make it clearer. btw are your pronouns he/him or is wikipedia just not set up weith them?

Group Otte
I replaced the notability tags you added to Group Otte with an expand German tag. When I was looking for additional sources I found the de.wikipedia article and the German name for the group. The de.wikipedia article has several German language sources in addition to the 3 or 4 now in the English article. Let me know if you still think it needs the tags.

Consistent reviewing query
Hi, it looks like you are only interested in reviews done after 2023. I've modified the query to support this. The new query runs much faster (14s vs 325s) and also gives much less results which would make your post-processing easier too. Please fork it. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:14, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I
Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:


 * Proposal 2, initiated by, provides for the addition of a text box at Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
 * Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by and, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
 * Proposal 5, initiated by, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
 * Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
 * Proposal 7, initiated by, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
 * Proposal 9b, initiated by, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
 * Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by, , and , respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
 * Proposal 13, initiated by, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
 * Proposal 14, initiated by, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
 * Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by and, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
 * Proposal 16e, initiated by, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
 * Proposal 17, initiated by, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
 * Proposal 18, initiated by, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
 * Proposal 24, initiated by, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
 * Proposal 25, initiated by, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
 * Proposal 27, initiated by, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
 * Proposal 28, initiated by, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

Vigraharaja IV's first war against the Muslims
Hello, North8000,

I just thought I'd let you know that this article, which was just moved to this particular title, had the PROD tag you added last week removed. Editors used to be routinely notified if an article they tagged was de-PROD'd but that habit has kind of died out now that we have more articles being de-PROD'd than in the past. So, I just thought I'd alert you in case you wished to take it to WP:AFD. Thank you. Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 21:49, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up. It was sitting in the NPP que for almost 4 months and nothing was happening on problems (including a severe one with the title and thus title-defined subject) long noted by others.  With the title change it would probably need hours of learning by me or involvement of someone more knowledgeable on the topic than me to figure out what to do next. Either way it still has "waiting for NPP" flag on it.   Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 22:07, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Tokio Hotel's Your Christmas
I have found twice now this article redirected to the band's main article. This was down to "no evidence of notability", despite it charting at 42 on Official German Charts. Please enlighten me on what other evidence of notability is needed, because I thought if a song charted in at least one country, that's enough.

Bandit5660 (talk) 12:36, 3 April 2024 (UTC)


 * The main idea of wp:notability, including the wording choices at N:Music is having the in depth coverage in sources from which to build an article from. Similarly in the discussions at other policies and guidelines even if one made points such as yours regarding the wp:notability condition. This article has no such coverage and no such content. IMO it should be merged into the band or album article.   I'm going to step away from this one from a NPP standpoint (and also I'm not tagging it)  and let someone else review it.    Either way, happy editing!<b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 14:56, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello ,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Hi North8000. Thank you for your work on Amloki (TV series). Another editor, Sohom Datta, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Sohom (talk) 00:44, 29 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the post and info.   I'm a bit confused in a couple ways......I didn't work on / edit the article.  I left a note but didn't review it and you did.   But thanks for the info. <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 01:12, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Do you have much experience with Times of India. I can understand where they they might not be reliable enough for various purposes (such as sourcing something controversial for BLP). But my most common situation is where `I'm evaluating for GNG coverage in the customary degree of stringency.  For example, if they have a substantive article on someone that looks like a real article (not posting a bio supplied by the person).   So we're basically looking for puplished independent coverage.   Do you think that they fall short for that type of thing? Enough so to not look at Times of India when reviewing for GNG coverage? <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 01:22, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * (In response to your first question), PageTriage does list you as the reviewer (which is why I sent this note). Sohom (talk) 01:51, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * My approach to looking at Times of India for notability purposes is to take each and every individual article on a case by case basis. In the case of Amloki (TV series) almost all of the articles are short (compare the size of vs  or even  which is just a fluffy summary of a tweet), do not have an attributed author and are written in the style of a press release which makes me doubt their reliability and neutrality. For most BLPs, companies and TV shows (basically any topic where paid publishing can be a concern) I tend to approach TOI reporting with scepticism from a notability POV.

Re: AfDs
Hi North8000, I'd like to raise a concern regarding your AfDs and ask for clarification. I appreciate that you do a lot of review of new pages. However, I'm concerned about how thorough your WP:BEFORE searches are particularly as they relate to looking for native language sources are required under step B7 of the process. I notice that you've recently nominated articles for deletion where the primary language is Divehi, Arabic, Bengali, Filipino, Azerbaijani, and Japanese. These are quite varied languages and the probability that one person can do a competent WP:BEFORE search in all of these languages strikes me as unlikely. Understand you're a far more experienced editor than I am but it strikes me that in some cases articles may be getting deleted that would be kept if someone who spoke the language searched for sources. I appreciate that I was notified when you nominated a page I created but perhaps it would also be appropriate to somehow notify other editors who speak the appropriate language or consult them before making a nomination? Wikipedia is already known to have a systematic bias towards the Anglo world and I would hate for a pattern of AfD nominations to reinforce that bias. Just a note and appreciate that you help cull quite a bit of spam from the website. DCsansei (talk) 11:36, 1 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that thoughtful post.  I think that even the most thorough search in all languages would not result in a keep on the first 5 of those 6 and maybe also the 6th. Discussing all of them would be a long multi-faceted discussion on each of them I'm not able to do here right now. But maybe if you could pick one of theme to have a more in-depth discussion on I'd be happy to do that and I think it would be helpful.  Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 12:13, 1 May 2024 (UTC)


 * I also don't consider myself qualified to evaluate the notability of most of the examples I provided: I don't speak those languages. My interest was piqued by Shibata Takumi (fund manager), an article I started a few weeks ago with the intention of coming back to but didn't expect the notability to be questioned. I struggle to see how you could come to the conclusion that he isn't notable if a BEFORE search was conducted. I'm working to improve the article a bit now to at least head-off deletion (with the intent of return to it further later). I found your response when I provided numerous sources a bit dismissive particularly as it relates to perpetrating Wikipedia's tendency to focus entirely on American/English topics despite being a global resource. Shibata was described (in English) by Reuters as one of Japan's most high-profile financial executives and there are numerous sources describing his various career moves. If English-speaking editors don't view one of the most high-profile business leaders in what was then the world's second largest economy as obviously notable on Wikipedia it's no wonder we have systematic bias. DCsansei (talk) 12:41, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Well that was the "#6" that I referred to which could go either way. Long story short, structurally the current question is whether or not there are two (maybe one will do) published independent sources that cover the topic of the article (him) in depth. And the main point behind that is to see if there is enough published in-depth material to create a real wiki-article from.   So the question isn't how "real world notable" he is, the question is whether or not those 2 sources exist.  So if somebody googles a person and finds a whole lot of "hits" that doesn't answer that question. The real work is going through those hits to find the 2 (or maybe 1) sources that fulfill the relevant criteria (or find out that they don't exist). The flip side is that if those 2 (maybe one) sources exist to advise that keeping the article is far simpler than you think.....just identify those two sources and it's a "keep".


 * There might be a bit of a background thing that affected the shortness of my response. Which might be me (possibly mistakenly) assuming that you know all of the above. About the 20 most active NPP'ers need to do about 90% of the review work and right now we're struggling to get through /  drowning in a 15,000 article backlog. With the "real work" part being sorting through a bunch of hits to find the 1-2 sources of the right type, your post could be taken as criticizing me for not doing that work while declining to actually do that work.  Either way, thanks for your posts.  Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 13:22, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Admittedly, I was not pleased with being asked to do any "real work" since I'm on holiday this week so finding the 7-day AfD clock during time it would take away from vacation rather than work is not ideal. Not a knock on your work patrolling new articles which must run across a lot of craff. Could you take another look at the article now? I believe notability should be apparent now although I'll continue slowly reviewing Japanese sources. DCsansei (talk) 11:15, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Here's a copy of my post at that "#6"
 * "Keep/withdraw The creator has increased it from 4 references up to 27 references. They've also asked me to take a look at those/the article as they are away on vacation/holidays. (IMO this mostly means analyzing all of the new references and finding the GNG-best ones per my request above)....happy to help someone enjoy their vacation/holidays and I did.  Most of the best looking ones are behind paywalls, but as a minimum there are many near-GNG references by top tier sources.   They have also expanded the article substantially with enclyclopedic content, also indicative of the addition of in-depth references.  While I can't vouch for the most rigorous-interpretation  GNG compliance, I have decided to switch to "keep/withdraw"."
 * Enjoy your vacation! Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 11:57, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I appreciate your engagement here. DCsansei (talk) 07:29, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Monthly reviewers query
Hey North8000, I noticed you are having trouble with that monthly reviewers query. I can assist you, but first, I’ll need to create a page in your userspace. Once that’s done, you’ll be able to update data with just one click anytime you need to. – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 03:21, 4 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Great!  Please do!  Thanks. <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 14:03, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I've gone ahead and created User:North8000/New pages patrol/Reports in your userspace. Moving forward, a bot will take care of updating the data every 30 days. Plus, you can always grab the latest reports yourself by simply clicking 'Update the table now' whenever you want. – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 16:49, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

 * I have often and many times seen and been impressed by your competence, conduct, and clue North8000, and like the others here: I think you would be a very good administrator. I also believe that your RfA would easily succeed as your qualifications are readily obvious, robust and well rounded, and rock solid by any fair measure. Your temperament is as close to admin perfect as it can practically be. And it's unambiguously clear that your character traits are genuine (not a contrived cell in your body I'm certain). Wikipedia is better because of you and the gifts of your time given. Above all else, I sincerely thank you for that. And I would be thrilled to support you for adminship. Having said these things with best regards, I wish you wellness and good cheer.--John Cline (talk) 00:56, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Adding a section to a closed discussion.
Hi, I do not think it is a good idea to continue a closed discussion, like what you have done at this section of the Jordan Peterson talk page regarding the Jubilee medal 14 minutes after the closure of that discussion. I have planned to revert it, but due to uncertainty over how appropriate the revision really is (and how appropriate it would be to revert it), I have found it better to instead discuss that revision here with you. CarlFilip19 (talk) 21:35, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
 * What I did was both OK and appropriate. Including responding to a comment/accusation about me wrongly implying that I was out of line because I participated in a discussion without an invitation. Or I could have reopened it to make it even more official. But it would be improper to revert it. :-)   Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 14:07, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Why did you move that article to mainspace when rejected article to mainspace?  scope_creep Talk  14:10, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you mean by the 2nd half of your sentence, but regarding the first half, IMO it's very solid that there is no reason for it to not be in mainspace. And on what is likely the main question, IMO has sourcing to solidly meet GNG, much more solid that a typical new article. In your AFD nom, you indicated that is has some low quality sources,   I did not review all 57 sources, just enough to confirm GNG compliance.  If some (or many) of the other 57 have the problems that you describe, that is not a reason to delete the article or preclude it from mainspace. BTW, I plan to move this thread to my talk page.

Page Review Request
Hey @North8000, Hope you're having a great day! I wrote an article about Tech Panda & Kenzani back in March, and it's not reviewed yet. I'd really appreciate it if you can take a look! :) Thanks as always! 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 09:50, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello Rydex64. I really don't do "respond to request" reviews about current personalities/groups engaged in a business. This one would  need a large amount of work going through all of the references to see if there some GNG references which it would need to have in order to pass wp:notability.  But if you'd like to help pick out the references most likely to be GNG references, I'd be happy to review.  This would be to select the 2-3 references which best meet the following criteria:  Independent, published sources which cover Tech Panda & Kenzani in depth.

You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 17:45, 22 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the note. I was thinking that it was obvious because I noted in the edit summary that it was implementing a merged decided at AFD, and the talk page discussed what the source article was. But better to also put it into the edit summary which I didn't do.  <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 13:11, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Request to review proposed undo
Greetings, @North8000. Grateful if you could kindly have a look at this suggestion about the Met page and let me know what you think. It's about a merger you made from In America: An Anthology of Fashion a couple of years ago. Thank you. —Protalina (talk) 11:01, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Happy to.  I posted there. Sincerely, <b style="color: #0000cc;">North8000</b> (talk) 13:46, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
