Brattleboro Museum and Art Center
Why are you recreating this article without explanation, and without fixing the serious issues? The sources you are adding do nothing to demonstrate notability - merely having exhibitions by a famous artist does not render an art gallery notable. Notability requires substantial, non-routine coverage by independent sources. If you are insistent on recreating the article, you also need to fix the POV language and lack of citations in the prose, and properly format your citations. If you are not willing to do this work, please stop edit warring and recreating the article. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 07:17, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The museum is indeed notable. A Google of "Brattleboro Museum" shows a great deal of press over decades. I will work on getting more citations in. Best, Thriley (talk) 07:22, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Is it actually substantial coverage, or is it merely run-of-the-mill coverage? I only see the former from a search. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 07:30, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
 * There is regular press coverage from regional newspapers. I will seek out coverage that covers the museum’s history itself.Thriley (talk) 07:36, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Alaska dairy industry moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Alaska dairy industry, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Mount Abraham Union High School
Hello Thriley,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Mount Abraham Union High School for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

Bare URLs
Hello! I noticed your new articles, thank you for your contributions. When publishing articles it is a good idea to use this tool to fill out the references. If references are "bare URLs", they could be deleted later by their publisher and we would have no idea of what the source was. If we have the title, author, name of publication etc, we can track down the source. Thanks Possibly (talk) 03:34, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Would you be okay with me submitting Rosemary Margaret Smith to DYK? It's just long enough now to qualify and we can always have more articles on women on the front page. Silver seren C 00:35, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

New categories
Please don't create "naked" categories as you did with eg - add at least one category (such as the one for the parent taxon, you can grab it from the equivalent article) so that humans and maintenance bots can find it in the hierarchy, and ideally a catmain as  I did here. Also it's good practice to add a new genus category to the corresponding genus article, ie Plagiostachys. Le Deluge (talk) 10:33, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Sibbaldia: the International Journal of Botanic Garden Horticulture


The article Sibbaldia: the International Journal of Botanic Garden Horticulture has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

 * You can choose to be reminded when you have not added an edit summary. This can be done in your preferences. This could conflict with the CAPTCHA. This has now been fixed.
 * You can link to specific log entries. You can get these links for example by clicking the timestamps in the log. Until now, such links to private log entries showed no entry even if you had permission to view private log entries. The links now show the entry.
 * Admins can use the abuse filter tool to automatically prevent bad edits. Three changes happened last week:
 * The filter editing interface now shows syntax errors while you type. This is similar to JavaScript pages. It also shows a warning for regular expressions that match the empty string. New warnings will be added later.
 * Oversighters can now hide multiple filter log entries at once using checkboxes on Special:AbuseLog. This is how the usual revision deletion works.
 * When a filter matches too many actions after it has been changed it is "throttled". The most powerful actions are disabled. This is to avoid many editors getting blocked when an administrator made a mistake. The administrator will now get a notification about this "throttle".
 * Octicons-tools.svg There is a new tool to build new skins. You can also see existing skins. You can give feedback.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Bots using the API no longer watch pages automatically based on account preferences. Setting the  to   will still work. This is to reduce the size of the watchlist data in the database.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Scribunto's file metadata now includes length.
 * Octicons-tools.svg CSS and JavaScript code pages now have link anchors to line numbers. You can use wikilinks like w:en:MediaWiki:Common.js.

Species stubs
Hi Thriley, could I ask you to employ a slightly more useful format for your new species stubs? As exemplified by Kathetostoma canaster:
 * please include a speciesbox, or at least a manual taxobox
 * don't use pointless high-domain references to, e.g., Fishbase - we don't expect our readers to navigate extended searches when checking a reference. Instead use links to the exact entry, e.g.: "". (You'll note that for Fishbase, there's a handy shortcut template!)
 * omit statements like "no subspecies are listed in CoI". That's the base state for species - if there are subspecies, we mention it, otherwise the assumption is that there are none
 * check for name typos - it's canaster, not the originally used canister

 * I think that nomination was a bit hasty, but it shows that it's useful to add under construction while you're developing an article, to deter those who don't think that citing 7 newspaper refs is an indication of notability.


 * But, talking of refs: Refill2 seems to make a pretty poor job of fixing newspaper refs. Please check that what it's done is reasonable: it doesn't seem to identify newspapers, for which "cite news" produces a better ref than "cite web", and for which the publication date and access date should both be given: it doesn't seem to bother producing a date at all. I've upgraded a couple of the refs, and also given a couple of them more civilised names so that they can be re-used more easily. Thanks for your work on this interesting character.

Speedy deletion nomination of Oliver Tarbell Eddy


A tag has been placed on Oliver Tarbell Eddy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.avictorian.com/Eddy_Oliver_Tarbell.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

DYK submitted for Lillian
Hi, Thriley! I've submitted a DYK request for Lillian Michelson that you can find over here. Silver seren C 01:18, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

The Present Crisis
Hello, Thriley! I've done some work to beef up the article you created on "The Present Crisis." It's certainly still in its infancy but wondering if you thought it worthy of a DYK nomination. --Midnightdreary (talk) 14:51, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Native Plants Journal


The article Native Plants Journal has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
