User talk:SL93/Archive 7

Re:Submission declined on 13 June 2017 by SL93 (talk) Reads and looks like an advert. DrStrauss talk 20:27, 4 July 2017 (UTC).
HEY SL93- could you help me get my page approved - it keeps getting rejected - apparently it sounds like an article and isnt correct for this forum. You declined it about 2 days ago - if you could point me in the right direction on which bit needs changing and where i am going wrong, it would be greatly appreciated - This is the 6th time i have tried to get the article approved just feel like i am going around in circles when the whole article appears factual and has links to back it up.

Thanks in advance

re:Your comment
Hi SL93. Partly a misunderstanding on my part of what you meant in your comment, partly a result of the constant edit conflicts over there. I'm in full agreement with your statement above that which I made. The quotations were from Blofeld's "DYK guidelines". It's those that I find shocking. Sorry for the confusion.

Dear SL93, I would like to ask for your patience, I'm going to check the article this afternoon, just now there's dawn here, in Hungary, thus I'll go to sleep. :) "Step 2: direct link to the List of Georgian consorts", means that I modificated the link from queen consort to the more specific List of Georgian consorts article. There is nothing any kind of 'holding up'. Greetings, --Norden1990 (talk) 00:59, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm patient, but I just didn't know what you meant and tried to get clarification. SL93 (talk) 01:00, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Press coverage of Armenian Genocide DYK
Hello SL93,

I'm just curious why the picture for the DYK didn't go up in the prep area? Proudbolsahye (talk) 05:50, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
 * A picture being requested for a hook does not guarantee that the picture will be used. With how many hooks that have pictures and how many reviewed articles there are at each given time, it would be impossible to update the prep areas if every picture was added. There is only one picture slot in each prep area. I can't fix the issue by adding hooks in the prep areas randomly. Each prep area needs fair representation of a topic compared to other topics. SL93 (talk) 05:54, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I understand that totally believe me. I respect prep regardless. I sincerely wanted to know...because I tried cropping it and maybe the crop was bad or something. It was just something I was thinking about repeatedly :) Proudbolsahye (talk) 05:58, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I would like all good pictures to be added, but that would mean even more reviews happening along with less people requesting pictures. The picture that you used is fine. SL93 (talk) 06:00, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

I see u started the GA review for it without notifying me (the nominator). Can we pls resume it now that I'm back? Kailash29792 (talk) 03:09, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * The GA bot was supposed to notify you. I failed it because there are many issues with sentence structure. A Good Article review is not meant to be a major overhaul with copy edits. SL93 (talk) 03:12, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * To be more precise, I am a reviewer, not a copy editor. Pointing out every single sentence, out of the many sentences, that needs to be fixed is no different from me copy editing the entire article. SL93 (talk) 03:35, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Quality of the article is not what I am talking about. Starting the review without informing me was not good, that's what I mean. No GA bot notified me at all. Additionally, I thought that other than the style of sentences, everything else was fine in the article. Kailash29792 (talk) 04:15, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * The GA bot didn't notify you, but it was supposed to. The article needs a major copy edit from top to bottom, which is why I suggested for you to get help from someone who is part of the league of copy editors. SL93 (talk) 06:03, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * First, the bot has always notified Good Article nominators and has did so for a long time, so you can't fault me for that. Second, I don't know if you are mad at me for failing the article, but you shouldn't be if you are. A Good Article reviewer does not have to point out all of the prose problems when the article needs a major copy edit from top to bottom. It is at least expected for every part of the criteria to, at the very least, be close to passing. In this article's case, the writing in the article is not close to passing. SL93 (talk) 06:18, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

I will complete the copy edit for you. Even though reviewers cannot edit an article significantly during the review, a copy edit should be fine. It isn't rare for reviewers to quick-fail nominations based on the article needing a major copy-edit, but I will take care of it. SL93 (talk) 06:23, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Talk:Thuppakki/GA2. SL93 (talk) 06:26, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the generosity. But honestly, is copyediting the only thing needed for the article? Kailash29792 (talk) 06:52, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * That is the only issue. SL93 (talk) 06:55, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Gao Hucheng
Just so that you, the article Knut Arild Hareide is a good article. Now allow me to respond to your queries: 1. The article Knut Arild Hareide does not mention this information either. 2. In fact, the article Knut Arild Hareide does not include any information/specificity from birth until tertiary school. This provides answers until inquiry #5. 3. See above 4. Likewise 5. I am not exactly sure what you mean by this question. If you are asking what did he study alongside French, I believe he singularly studied French. 6. This I do not know. However, in the article Knut Arild Hareide, no raison d'etre for education is presented. 7. A new wikilink has been added to the article. 8. He was deputy general manager. What more do you want to know? I will see if I can provide an answer. In the article Knut Arild Hareide, no details of his time as "board member of the national student union 1993–1994" are presented, beyond the entry information presented in the text. 9. He earned his doctorate by completing the course. I do not exactly understand what you are asking. 10. He still is a member, so everything political he has done insofar, and that he will in the future as a member of the CPC is my answer. 11. Please see query #8.

I do not see this article as suffering from an "extreme lack of information". In fact, its breadth parallels that of a recognized good article, Knut Arild Hareide. Could you re-asses your review position, as I feel as if I will repeating the nomination process. Regards, QatarStarsLeague (talk) 23:33, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I will not reopen the nomination, but you are free to contest it at Good article reassessment to get other opinions. That article is not similar to this one. It is not only longer, but it actually says what he did as part of politics and it actually goes into detail about all of his positions. SL93 (talk) 23:36, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, Knut Arild Hareide has 9,872 characters of prose, compared to Gao Hucheng which has 2,371 characters of prose. SL93 (talk) 23:49, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Svalbard Rocket Range has less than 2400 characters of readable prose. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 01:04, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * You can't compare Good Articles about different topics. That is about a launch site. Every Good Article topic needs their own type of information. SL93 (talk) 01:14, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I am comparing brevity. A Good Article is upheld to the same criterion as any other. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 16:43, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * As I said before, I will not reopen the nomination and you are free to contest it. You are forgetting the criterion "broad in its coverage". Simply saying what political party he is part of and what his positions are is not enough. As shown in your first example, that article does go into detail about those things. The other article is about a launch site. My point is that every topic needs their own type of coverage. For example, a film Good Article needs information about the plot, releases, reception, production, etc. SL93 (talk) 17:00, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Pricasso DYK
I don't think it was appropriate to close that, especially if you read my last comment. As I noted there, I had initiated an RfC to try and resolve the main sticking point with the article. The reason for nothing going on with the nom is because I was waiting for the outcome. The RfC period just ended today, without a clear consensus for or against the Commons link. Obviously, that means the default choice is to keep it out. It may be a prolonged period of discussion, but we've had longer DYK discussions. Your point about it being rejected is not entirely valid. One of those rejecting it was an involved editor who insisted, without sufficient evidence, that the subject should be characterized as a porn star rather than an artist. Another cited a POV tag that is no longer on the article. Finally, there was a claim from an IP that was essentially disregarding WP:NOTCENSORED. In contrast, three editors actually approved the article during that time and three others raised reasonable concerns that could or have been addressed (two objected to the edit-warring, which was over the link that the RfC discussed). Only the last comment by Blue Moonset covered issues that would be present issues, I think. Could you please re-open the discussion?-- The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 21:50, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I think that it was entirely appropriate for me to close that. I posted my closure on the DYK talk page for everyone to view, but no one has raised any concerns except yourself. For that reason, I especially think that my closure was not incorrect. SL93 (talk) 21:53, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Before I even consider opening the discussion, were any of BlueMoonset's concerns addressed? He posted there a while back and if those were not addressed, there is no indication that they will ever be addressed. Will you address them yourself? If not, I see no reason to re-open the nomination. SL93 (talk) 22:00, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * As I stated in the comment I made at the nomination page when initiating the RfC, my intention has been to address those concerns myself when the RfC concluded.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk.  cntrb. 22:40, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I will re-open the nomination, but I still disagree with your assertion that my close was inappropriate. No one else had an issue with it after I closed it two days ago. SL93 (talk) 22:43, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I took a while, but I was actually addressing it right as you closed the damn thing again. Indeed, you are not even correct to say I was not editing the article as I had edited it during that three-day period.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk.  cntrb. 04:52, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/List of awards and nominations received by K. Balachander
Any reason for not promoting this nom with the image? &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  08:10, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Just because someone requests an image does not mean that it will for sure be promoted. Editors who update the prep areas need to have a mix of subjects in each prep area and to do that, some images need to be left out if there is a lack of reviewed nominations. No one who requests an image is entitled to that image being promoted. SL93 (talk) 16:46, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Promotion of Hollinwell incident DYK
Thanks for your promotion of the Hollinwell incident DYK. One quick question - is there are reason that you decided to promote it now rather than wait for the 24 August? I'm assuming that the request to do so wasn't clear enough and that the reviewer forgot to move it to the special occasion holding area. violet/riga [talk] 00:42, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

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

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 15:08, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews
Hello. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular. The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered. If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.) If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with. Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors. I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

 * Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
 * Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
 * Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

Articles without a single category
Hello, you recently promoted Template:Did you know nominations/Arjan Hasid to a prep area. Just letting you know that all three target articles were completely uncategorised. I have addressed that but these really ought not to be going into sets with such fundamental flaws. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:13, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I checked the issues except that. I just assumed that nominators would submit articles that have categories. It was dumb of me to assume. SL93 (talk) 06:16, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, it wasn't dumb, it's just one of those things, we simply cannot rely on the review process to pick up these fundamental issues, sadly. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:46, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Prep building
Hi, I notice you've been helping out with prep building lately, and want to say that it's really appreciated. I'd like to mention that we try to alternate biographies and non-biographical hooks when they're available. Most of the preps you've built are largely lacking on the bio hooks. Thanks for all you do! Yoninah (talk) 22:49, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I read that that the preps needed a mix of topics and I thought that the two biographical hooks in prep 5 were acceptable. SL93 (talk) 22:52, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Ideally, we strive for 4 bios and 4 non-bios. Lately, though, with so few approved hooks available, we can't always maintain that ratio. Thanks again, Yoninah (talk) 10:17, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

About the DYK for Anton Boys
I am really sorry that this is stalling so much. Since I have provided several alternative hooks already, there is nothing more that I can do. Maybe ask someone witty that you know to try and find a new and hooky hook. All the best, Edelseider (talk) 18:13, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

AfD
You didn't say anything really out of line. Compared to other !votes I have seen in the past, I think you were quite civil. In fact, I appreciate the depth of research that went into your keep !vote. Its always a bit of a culture shock for newbies when a Wikipedia editor calls them out personally, especially when they previously conceived of Wikipedia as a faceless entity that magically turns out articles&mdash;something akin to Sinbad's rude awakening on his first voyage. I remember the feeling, hence I occasionally check the edit histories of unfamiliar Wikipedians. But besides that, there's not much that can be done about wikiculture shock.

New page on amazing African-American woman
G'day! I said I'd ping you if I did a new page about an African-American woman that I thought was a good candidate for a DYK. This woman and her story is really astonishing: Nellie Griswold Francis. I really hope you can get her some attention.Hildabast (talk) 04:56, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I nominated it for DYK with three hooks for the reviewer to choose from. Feel free to suggest any new hooks at Template:Did you know nominations/Nellie Griswold Francis. SL93 (talk) 06:05, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
