About Plz/TaylorMoore2
Northamerica1000, just so you know: TaylorMoore2 was Plz's original account name, before it was renamed to Plz on January 9, two days prior to its block. While renaming changes the entire editing history to reflect the new name, places where the name is hardcoded, such as in a DYK nomination, don't change. So it's possible for the "created by" credit (and DYKmake, for that matter) to reflect the old name while the article history shows the new name. TaylorMoore2 actually did edit the article.

In this case, since Plz has been blocked for sockpuppeting, I do support your closure of DLOW. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:24, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi I have modified the rationale at Template:Did you know nominations/DLOW. One thing though, is that moving user pages typically does not rename the user, it only moves the page. It's unclear if the user requested a name change, such as at Global user account rename request. The User talk:TaylorMoore2 talk page was moved by  (see Revision history), and the page User:TaylorMoore2 was never created. At this point, it seems acceptable for the nomination to be declined due to socking. North America1000 06:32, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Meat stall painting
I noticed your post regarding on Haffy's talk.

I asked Hafs about the sign, and he sent the explanation at left:

(The unit of area probably should be translated as rood, not rod.)

I don't see how this could be interpreted as "a warning to society at that time." Sca (talk) 15:38, 12 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi : I based the wording in A Meat Stall with the Holy Family Giving Alms on what the source (listed below) from The Burlington Magazine states. The notion above about the term rood being meant could very well be the case, whereby a typo exists in the source. We typically need to go with what reliable sources state, though. Regarding the "warning to society" matter, information about this is in the source. North America1000 15:49, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * – Source:


 * Whether it makes sense of not? Sca (talk) 16:01, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * The content at the source is rather coherent to me. North America1000 16:03, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * It seems to me that the content of the painting, specifically the meaning of the sign, is the original 'source.' Houghton, the RS cited, is debatable at best. I suggest that bit be left out. Sca (talk) 16:07, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I suggest for you to post at the article's talk page regarding your view. Doing so can help to receive additional user input. I may not have time to address this matter right away. North America1000 16:13, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Done, to a limited extent. Upon reconsideration, I'm backing off on my questioning of Houghton, for now anyway. Sca (talk) 16:44, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Lisa Adams
Hello Northamerica1000, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Lisa Adams, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: '''I'll move the other article to this, it doesn't need its qualifier. .''' You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Ged UK  13:35, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Unlocking Bart Baker for creation
The article name, Bart Baker, is currently locked from creation. I have a brand new article for it and wish to move it to the main space. Unfortunately, because of this, I can't, so may you please unblock it for me? Thanks! By the way, my article is in my sandbox, User:FiendYT/sandbox. FiendYT 07:03, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Articles for Bart Baker have been deleted many times, including twice at AfD (1, 2), so I can't simply circumvent consensus. Click on this red link for Bart Baker for a summary of article deletions that have occurred.


 * I recommend that you submit this to Articles for creation, where your submission can be reviewed. An easy way to do this is to place atop the draft page and then select the "Submit your draft for review" link. North America1000 17:59, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Deletion nom for All Growz Up
Hello - I saw you re-relisted this AfD discussion as named above. At what point does the debate close? Dkendr (talk) 15:34, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Deletion discussions are typically closed seven days after being listed or relisted. However, if several people were to !vote and a consensus forms, relisted discussions can then be closed early, as per WP:RELIST. North America1000 15:37, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 6
Newsletter • January 2016

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:

What comes next

Some good news: the Wikimedia Foundation has renewed WikiProject X. This means we can continue focusing on making WikiProjects better.

During our first round of work, we created a prototype WikiProject based on two ideas: (1) WikiProjects should clearly present things for people to do, and (2) The content of WikiProjects should be automated as much as possible. We launched pilots, and for the most part it works. But this approach will not work for the long term. While it makes certain aspects of running a WikiProject easier, it makes the maintenance aspects harder.

We are working on a major overhaul that will address these issues. New features will include:
 * Creating WikiProjects by simply filling out a form, choosing which reports you want to generate for your project. This will work with existing bots in addition to the Reports Bot reports. (Of course, you can also have sections curated by humans.)
 * One-click button to join a WikiProject, with optional notifications.
 * Be able to define your WikiProject's scope within the WikiProject itself by listing relevant pages and categories, eliminating the need to tag every talk page with a banner. (You will still be allowed to do that, of course. It just won't be required.)

The end goal is a collaboration tool that can be used by WikiProjects but also by any edit-a-thon or group of people that want to coordinate on improving articles. Though implemented as an extension, the underlying content will be wikitext, meaning that you can continue to use categories, templates, and other features as you normally would.

This will take a lot of work, and we are just getting started. What would you like to see? I invite you to discuss on our talk page.

Until next time,

Sorry I initiated the wrong procedure on them. I can go ahead and close them all as speedy keep, and save you the trouble.
 * Several of the articles listed at Articles for deletion/Landy Ice Rises you created to not have the AfD template atop the articles to notify readers about the deletion nomination. How do you want to proceed regarding these matters? North America1000 21:28, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
 * All of them had their own AfD notices and even pages. I was in the process of combining them into one AfD under Articles for deletion/Landy Ice Rises when you started closing the discussions. I'm going to close each of the discussions and restart, proposing merges as appropriate rather than outright deletion. J♯m (talk &#124; contribs) 21:33, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply. In the event you're not aware of this, merge discussions are typically performed on article talk pages, rather than at AfD. Cheers, North America1000 21:36, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Completely False Article Frederick Achom
Hello,

I would like to draw your attention to this wikipedia article Frederick Achom, at first look it looks like a good article, but it hides most of the real information. If you see article's history you will see that it has been under several editing wars. Almost all claims made in the article are supported in the article are made using own links or PR releases. Also the links which seem genuine like London's 1000 most influential people 2010: Night OwlsLondon's 1000 most influential people 2011: Night Owls have many things wrong in them- they claim to be 1000 but not more than 6 are present; they have no author. They are off the website but somehow have crept into the website. There are many such cases in this wiki article.

Frederick Achom is using his wiki article to show potential investors how great he is by supplying all false information and duping them of money. He has been previously convicted and jailed which was earlier in the article but now has somehow disappeared.  

 

I hope you will understand the gravity of the situation and help in rectifying by either getting the page deleted or corrected.

Thank You. NihartouJason (talk) 04:31, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I may not involve myself in this matter. I recommend continuing to discuss the matter with interested editors on the talk page, as is presently occurring. North America1000 14:10, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
