Deleting Lucy Simmonds
00:20, 23 January 2015 Northamerica1000 (talk | contribs) deleted page Lucy Simmonds (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lucy Simmonds)

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Lucy+Simmonds%22&tbm=nws

Please can you undelete the page "Lucy Simmonds" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mywikinameis (talk • contribs) 15:29, 14 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Hello : A problem is that per the deletion discussion at Articles for deletion/Lucy Simmonds, it was determined that the subject does not meet Wikipedia's notability standards (e.g. see WP:BASIC and WP:NOTE) for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Per the overall arguments and consensus at the deletion discussion, I'm not allowed to restore the deleted article under these circumstances.
 * Can you provide any evidence that the subject may meet any of Wikipedia's notability criteria? This would serve to provide a means for the article to be recreated. For example, has the subject received significant coverage in reliable sources that is beyond routine, local coverage? North America1000 23:03, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Hello : Of the usable sources above that are reliable, both and  only provide a single passing name mention of the subject. Significant coverage in reliable sources is necessary for an article about the subject to be qualified. North America1000 00:41, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Tech News: 2016-09
 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. Recent changes
 * Thanks to the Graph extension and Pageview API, we now have   templates that can show pageviews for any wiki page for any of the wikis. See the examples.
 * The Capiunto extension is installed on test wiki. Capiunto provides flexible infobox functionality for Scribunto and generates HTML for infobox features such as headers and rows. It is designed for clean and modern infoboxes that are driven by data from Wikidata, easily usable across different language versions, and easily extensible.
 * The visual editor now follows the TemplateData  setting announced in November. When you edit or add a use of a template, the wikitext will be laid out in one of the two ways.
 * The order of parameters and format defined in a template's TemplateData will be now respected.

Changes this week
 * On wikis where the visual editor is available in single edit tab mode, red links may open the visual editor instead of the wikitext editor, depending on user preferences.
 * Anonymous editor warning is now displayed as a warningbox for consistency in both the visual editor and the wikitext editor.
 * Parsoid has been updated to fit some HTML 5 specifications.

Meetings
 * Resigning executive director Lila Tretikov is taking questions at Knowledge Engine FAQ regarding the much talked about project.
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 March at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Your revert
Hi, you reverted my edit on Chips and dip, restoring the text "Elements of double-dipping have been broadcast on U.S. television shows." with the Edit summary "It is in the WP:LEAD, which is meant to summarize key points in articles)".

a) Please show me where in the body of the article this "key point" is made. b) What on earth does that sentence even mean? What is an "element of double-dipping"?

Best, --Macrakis (talk) 22:43, 3 March 2016 (UTC)


 * – I just rewrote the word "Elements" to "Aspects" in the article (diff). They mean the same thing as worded, but perhaps "aspects" is a bit more specific. North America1000 22:46, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Regarding the first part of your comment, see the Chips and dip § Double-dipping in popular culture section in the article. North America1000 22:48, 3 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see what you mean. Wouldn't it be simpler to say just "Double dipping has been mentioned in popular TV shows."? Which still doesn't seem necessary in the lead. --Macrakis (talk) 21:48, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Focaccia
NA, you're an experienced editor and an admin, so I am surprised you did a blanket revert on my edits to focaccia al rosmarino. For example, you restored "It is sometimes served with prosciutto" which is based on a blog post (certainly not a WP:RS) about a sandwich of figs and goat cheese which also included ham. I am sure that there are many clever sandwich ideas for all different kinds of focaccia, but it seems pointless to document them all in WP. There are also all sorts of variants of focaccia dough, e.g., with capers, with olives, with herbs, with some combination of the above, etc. What is the point of documenting each one separately? Should we also have articles on pepperoni pizza (which is not a redlink because it — sensibly — redirects to pizza), artichoke pizza, etc. etc.? --Macrakis (talk) 21:47, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The short answer: I reverted because your edits removed valuable content from the article, and changed it in a manner that is not consistent with what the sources report. For example, it is a style of pizza, but you removed all of that. I'm not sure why you are all of the sudden very interested in this new article I just created today and changing it all around, but please 1) allow time for editors to expand articles before you remove all of the content, and 2) read the sources before removing sourced content. Since you want the article merged, the manner in which you removed a significant portion of the article could be construed as an attempt to further qualify your stance for a merge. North America1000 21:51, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I just added another source to the article in re service with prosciutto. These things take time. Please don't be so eager to remove all the content while I'm still working on it. North America1000 21:57, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Regarding the notion of having a separate article for pepperoni pizza, I actually support this, because there's virtually no content about it in the pizza article that the link redirects to. The pizza article presently simply has a single mention of the word "pepperoni" in the context of toppings (permanent link). See below for the plethora of significant coverage about the topic. This is actually a decent prospect for a standalone article, because it has received significant coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources. North America1000 22:05, 4 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I just added an internal link to pepperoni in the pizza article (diff). It's a start. North America1000 22:14, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I am still working on the focaccia al rosmarino article, and may nominate it for WP:DYK to appear on main page. I have found more sources to expand the article further, and have removed the merge template from the article, because the topic has received enough overall coverage to qualify for a standalone article. North America1000 22:53, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

your misguided notions
Many of those edits (most?) are two part edits where I move a section to another section. Showing that I cut things is not really fair. In some of the cases you pointed to I cut sections and moved them to another page entirely. My edits are quite fair. Now that we've finally moved that silly section to it's own place in the article where people can debate what year Drumpf became Trump your accusation is, to be frank, off base and wrong and it makes assumptions that you are not supposed to make... that is that I am not doing things for the betterment of the community.

Tech News: 2016-10
<section begin="technews-2016-W10"/> Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. Recent changes
 * Files on Wikimedia Commons can now be 2 GB big. The old limit was 1 GB.
 * Welcome notifications now have a different symbol. English Wikipedia already had this one.
 * The Wikimedia memory cache servers in the Eqiad cluster have now been upgraded to Debian 8 (Jessie). Some users might have had to log in again because of this.
 * It is now easier to categorize images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons in the Commons Android app.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Bare attributes in tags now parse according to the HTML5 specifications.  will parse as   instead of   as it used to. Please use   or   instead. This is mostly likely to affect pages on Wikisource projects.

Problems
 * Phabricator has been a bit unstable lately. This should be fixed now.
 * The PageView API shows wrong data between 23 February and 29 February for pages with special characters in their title.
 * The parsing change mentioned above caused a large number of pages to break, especially on Wikisource.
 * You may see falsely formatted edit links on both mobile and desktop devices. Mobile devices can also show incorrect formatted table of contents. This should be fixed soon.
 * Templates using TemplateData that were edited with the visual editor might have some problems in wikitext mode. This can be fixed by editing and saving the page by using the visual editor without making any changes.

Changes this week
 * Cross-wiki notifications will be enabled as a beta feature on all wikis on 10 March. You will be able to get notifications when something happens on another Wikimedia wiki.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 March. It will be on all wikis from 10 March (calendar).
 * Wikivoyages will get the Kartographer extension. Kartographer will allow  and   tags in an article to insert an interactive map and overlay it with different markers. You can add ideas and suggestions to the Maps talk page. If you find any bugs, you can report them in Phabricator.

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 8 March at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * The buttons in interfaces will be simplified. Instead of white, red, green and blue buttons, in future there will only be white, red and blue ones.
 * The Wikimedia technical operations team plans to do some server work on 22 March. This could cause some problems, for example make it possible to read but not edit the Wikimedia wikis for a short period of time. The date for this might change.

 * I have reassessed the article to B-class on the talk page, and added the WikiProject Minnesota template there. North America1000 23:50, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey thanks! It's very much appreciated. Carbrera (talk) 23:51, 8 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I think you should nominate the article for GA review. It appears to meet all of the key points of the Good article criteria. One minor matter: I recommend trying to find a better source to replace the PR Newswire one, if such better source is available. North America1000 23:37, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I nominated it! Thanks, once again for all your help and suggestions. I'll give it a look! Carbrera (talk) 23:49, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Question
Any idea why the article Donald Trump (Last_Week_Tonight) deserves to be an article and not simply an added paragraph summarizing the segment in the article Last Week Tonight with John Oliver? It's polemic and politically motivated. There are numerous episodes just like it about other presidential candidates that would be SD so has something changed that I'm not aware of? <span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em; color:#A2006D;">Atsme 📞📧 14:06, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
 * As long as the article adheres to a neutral point of view, I'm all right with its existence. The topic has received a great deal of coverage in reliable sources, which is what Wikipedia's content is based upon. Also, a recent AfD discussion about a related topic here closed as a merge into the article. North America1000 17:44, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
 * while I appreciate your perspective, I am justifiably concerned over this "trend". I posted to Jimbo's TP and he also believes it warrants discussion, . Where do you think is the best place to begin for community input? <span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em; color:#A2006D;">Atsme 📞📧 16:50, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

At this point, due to its length, the article would provide undue weight toward this particular topic at the main Last Week Tonight with John Oliver article about a segment of season 3, episode 3. Conversely, pruning the article down to make it fit there could be perceived as an omission of facts from the encyclopedia. Perhaps an article could be created about the entire episode, and then the article could be merged to that one. Note that there are a few other episode pages, as denoted at List of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver episodes, and it's a natural Wikipedian response for pages to be created about them when they meet notability guidelines. Places to discuss the article and this type of content include it's talk page, the talk page at WP:POLITICS and perhaps the talk page at WP:TELEVISION. I would go with WP:POLITICS. I recommend posting a Requests for comment atop the discussion should you create it.

While the episode of the television show could be described as "polemic and politically motivated", the article itself is not. It is written neutrally from what reliable sources report and state. I stand by the notion that as a topic that has received significant coverage in reliable sources, the topic qualifies for an article. Per your opinions above, the possible perception of attempted censorship of this content from Wikipedia per your personal views could also be perceived as being "polemic and politically motivated", particularly if you're a Trump supporter (which I have no idea if you are or not). There's no offense intended toward you here, but this is important to mention to cover all of the bases, because people may question your intentions and motivations.

 * Thank you for the feedback. Articles like this, regardless of who they are written about (I just happened across this one at one of the noticeboards or in an RfC) are as disconcerting to me as would be any explosion of WP:Recentism regardless of the subject. WP is not a newspaper.  I went through something similar with the Emerson gaff that bled over to articles like No-go area and Investigative Project on Terrorism.  If we're going to discard what WP:RECENTISM suggests and throw common sense to the wind regarding GNG, then everything that was ever said about a political candidate that received widespread coverage, which includes nearly everything covered during an election year, would qualify as a standalone article per your interpretation.  Quite frankly, Rubio's comment about Trumps' small hands got more mainstream media coverage  than the John Oliver episode.  Also keep in mind that there are all kinds of skits and SNL episodes about the various candidates.  For example, Bernie Sanders is mocked on SNL by Larry David,, and there's all the Hillary Clinton episodes which could easily be forked from Hillary_Clinton_email_controversy, and there's also the Benghazi controversy which could end up being a standalone article even though there's an article about Hillary Rodham Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State.  Do you see what I mean?  Allowing one will open the flood gates to forking, not to mention recentism if they're being sourced to media coverage because of the ongoing presidential election - and that is exactly what most of them are because the politicians are fair game right now.  I won't bother to show further examples of the other candidates because I think you get my point.  Regarding your reference of my intentions, we all have a POV which only becomes problematic when closed minds are involved.  Rather than go on about it, I'll just let my user contributions speak for me.  If I may, I will also take this opportunity to confirm my position and code of ethics on WP by stating to you now that I leave my biases at login.  I attribute my ability for the latter to 30+ years of training and hands-on experience as a publisher/journalist/writer/tv scriptwriter, dating back to a time when unbiased reporting followed a code of ethics and actually meant something; long before political pundits became what we know today as news anchors/commentators. <span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em; color:#A2006D;">Atsme 📞📧 20:06, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Short answer (working on other stuff right now): I tried to word my response delicately above. I didn't mean to imply that you are biased, just that other users could potentially perceive your intentions as biased. North America1000 21:00, 8 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Hey : check out Bernie Sanders' Dank Meme Stash too. I like it, because it's funny. North America1000 10:16, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Ha! Hmmm...it appears posts are being censored at that FB page. Regardless, what it represents to me is an open door for WP articles on any "trending" FB page, tweet or blog regardless of GNG & RS guidelines. See the following which is probably more deserving of an article as it actually does have EV, . The Sanders' article results from a FB page with only 350,000 members and the only reason it received any attention is because Sanders is a candidate and folks are having fun with it.  It shouldn't be anything more than a short paragraph in his WP campaign article and maybe in an article about memes.  I mean seriously, one of the cited sources is the USA Today's section "College - 2016 Election" which is nothing more than a compilation of blogs and tweets from supporters.  Where is the cut-off point or is there one?  In what direction do articles like this lead us?  I fail to see any encyclopedic value in it.  I think there's confusion over what is considered "encyclopedic" vs "newsworthy".  They are two completely different animals.  Comic strips and skits on SNL are funny but each episode doesn't warrant a standalone article.  Motion pictures have a tougher time getting a WP article than some of these political skits.  I can't help but see them as a challenge to recentism, forking, soapbox, advocacy, GNG, RS, etc.  Perhaps it's worthy of mention in an article about memes and the candidate's political campaign with strict adherence to NPOV, but standalone - meh.  Sorry to be a party pooper, but I fail to see how these types of articles help build a credible encyclopedia.  They'll get hits while "tending" and then they'll be forgotten - pure recentism.  I see them as part of what chips away at the very foundation of WP and its long standing encyclopedic value.  If the goal is to change WP's direction to accommodate recentism, blogs, tabloidish articles, activism, advocacy, then we've got a good start.  I think they fall under the following in WP:GNG: "Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. <span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em; color:#A2006D;">Atsme 📞📧 14:03, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, you have a lot more passion about these topics than I do. To be honest, I'm not very concerned about these articles, so I don't have much to say about them. You will likely get more response by discussing matters at WT:POLITICS. North America1000 17:31, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Quite frankly NA1000 - my passion for it ends with my posts to you. 😆 You're a good ear to bend, or I should say a good set of eyes to eyecercise.  If the WP servers can handle all the junk articles, so be it.  I've graduated beyond "passion" - I'm retired. <span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em; color:#A2006D;">Atsme 📞📧 19:20, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
