Help with Tucker Eskew biography
Hi there Wizardman, some time back you reviewed a new draft that I put forward for the Gary Loveman biographical article, and seeing how helpful you were then, I was wondering if you have time to look at another bio for me? On behalf of his firm, Vianovo, I've been working on some updates for the article of political consultant Tucker Eskew. The article has become a bit of a mess and there's some new details that can be added, so I'm looking for help reviewing my suggestions for the article and making the edits if they look good. If you have a moment, would you mind taking a look at the suggestions here? If you're busy elsewhere, I completely understand: do you know any other active editors who might be helpful? So far I've not been able to find an editor via WikiProject Biography or its politics work group. Thanks in advance! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk &middot; COI) 14:50, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi again, just following up here to say I somehow missed that an editor had replied to me on Talk:Tucker Eskew, however while they'd reviewed the edits and agreed they were fine to add, they seem to be suggesting I make them myself. Since I follow the "bright line" rule, and don't make direct edits myself, would you mind making the addition if they're not able to? Thanks, 16912 Rhiannon (Talk &middot; COI) 20:24, 13 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi Wizardman, I've posted a new note to the Tucker Eskew Talk page with more improvements for the article. If you have time, I'd appreciate it if you'd take a look. Thanks in advance! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk &middot; COI) 20:38, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi again! Just a quick ping here to see if you'd be able to take a look at this, as I've not heard from any other editors. Thanks! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk &middot; COI) 20:58, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Wizardman, just checking in here to see if you had a chance to look at the drafted changes I'm proposing for Tucker's page and if you had any questions. Thanks again, 16912 Rhiannon (Talk &middot; COI) 14:23, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I actually completely forgot :( I'll take a look either tonight or tomorrow night. Wizardman  23:32, 16 December 2014 (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).

Talk:Watermelon/GA1
Wizardman, this review has been abandoned and is probably a candidate for deletion, but the reviewer did make one comment when opening it on October 7 (penultimate edit; the most recent edit was three days later on another GA review that was later closed as abandoned). Even if the review page isn't deleted, the nomination clearly needs to be put back in the pool so another reviewer can pick it up. Thanks. And thanks for the comment about Zanimum on said user's talk page. It's no more than I was thinking, but I didn't feel I could go that far when I wrote my original comment in that thread, so I ended up toning it down.

Hello,

Hi! I was contacted by the IP editor who posted the requests that you removed.

I think he was confused because the IMDB posts confirm the films existed. I think what you wanted was more than that: reliable sources that show that the film is notable. Anyway I started one of them: The Zero Years.

Fixing GA review subpages with a merge&delete
Hi Wizardman - I mentioned my desire to delete Talk:Adderall/GA1 previously on one of the GAN talkpages after you raised concerns over User:PapaJeckloy's reviews. I noticed you were proactive and deleted Talk:Adderall/GA2 due to inaction on the part of the reviewer (thank you for doing that btw ); I was wondering if you'd be willing to delete Talk:Adderall/GA1 as well. I moved the original subpage to an alternate talk subpage so that it won't be included in the article history, but the page still needs to be deleted in order to make it available for the first non-bullshit GA review of the article. This might be a bit unorthodox, but I've done a few WP:Merge and delete moves like this before - recent examples are in my move log.

WikiCup 2015 is just around the corner...
Hello everyone, and may we wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2015 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. We have a few important announcements concerning the future of the WikiCup.


 * We would like to announce that Josh (J Milburn) and Ed (The ed17), who have been WikiCup judges since 2009 and 2010 respectively, are stepping down. This decision has been made for a number of reasons, but the main one is time. Both Josh and Ed have found that, over the previous year, they have been unable to devote the time necessary to the WikiCup, and it is not likely that they will be able to do this in the near future. Furthermore, new people at the helm can only help to invigorate the WikiCup and keep it dynamic. Josh and Ed will still be around, and will likely be participating in the Cup this following year as competitors, which is where both started out.
 * In a similar vein, we hope you will all join us in welcoming Jason (Sturmvogel 66) and Christine (Figureskatingfan), who are joining Brian (Miyagawa) to form the 2015 WikiCup judging team. Jason is a WikiCup veteran, having won in 2010 and finishing in fifth this year. Christine has participated in two WikiCups, reaching the semi-finals in both, and is responsible for the GA Cup, which she now co-runs.
 * The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. While it may be impossible to please everyone, the judges will make every effort to ensure that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

You've already told me that I'm a pain in your ass on this subject, and I will give you that you are probably right. What can I say? After writing her original article, I began following her career. Anyway, I got from a fairly reliable source that she will be appearing in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue. Coupled with the fact that her appearance in Pain and Gain has been added to IMDB, I think there is little question that she is worthy of an article.

You managed to give me a copy of the original article I wrote about her. After she appeared in Pain and Gain, I wrote a second one, which was also deleted. Is there any way you could get me a copy of that?Johnny Spasm (talk) 11:00, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Missing Articles
Hi! And Happy Holidays! When you thanked me for a couple of edits a few days ago, I discovered your activity with this project, which I had not realized existed. So thank you for that. This has sort of been my focus for the last six months, in respect to films and actors/actresses, so I added my name to the project. Upon looking at the project I see it as a chance to broaden my activity. Quick question: after creating an article, if it is on one of the "missing" lists, should I remove the now "blue link"? Or is there someone who has been designated for that role? Second question: on some of the lists I notice quite a few blue links, should those be verified as pointing to the correct person, and if they do, should they be removed? I did notice one blue link which actually pointed to a different person (sports figure), than the actor, so I changed the wikilink to convert it to a redlink (by adding actor after the name), I hope that was appropriate. Anyway, thanks again. Onel5969 (talk) 16:15, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Wizardman. Thank you for deciding to take on the GAN review of this article, which is not a small job.

Again, thanks, and I'll be on the lookout for your continuing comments. Giants2008 ( Talk ) 02:20, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Was that the correct section which you meant to delete on Weiskrantz
Yesterday you had responded to the following Copyvio request by deleting 2 of the 3 sections in the Bluerasberry version of the article:


 * "My concern is with Lawrence Weiskrantz.... is it acceptable  to copy  and paste so much material that basically now  makes up the bulk of the  article? I think not but the edit was re-established by a third party because they are now using quotes and a link to the copyrighted page. I am concerned about this... pls  See Lawrence Weiskrantz - Violation Suspected 80.2% for the text involved (WP:Fairuse and WP:PD)."

However, the tools link in the request shows that the "problem" material appears to be the Career section of his University appointments which you decided to retain, while you deleted the other two sections. The two sections were added transitionally in order to try to advance the article from its long-term stub class status. Of these two sections, only the first section was using quotes from Magdalene College which you deleted, while the other section did not use this citation but rather used a citation from an academic book by Weiskrantz which appears to be unobjectionable in any way. My appeal is that the second section which @Bluerasberry edited with a proper citation from an unobjectionable academic book by Weiskrantz should be restored to the article. The second section was independent of the "Suspected 80.2% violation", and should be restored to the article as competently researched and cited by @Bluerasberry.

This would then allow other editors to continue to build the article towards improvement, perhaps by then adding a "Blindsight" section which was Weiskrantz's claim to fame as a leading voice in 20th century science research. If there is any further research needed for this appeal to restore the second section alone of the two sections you deleted then I can try to provide further supportive material for your review of this appeal for that part of @Bluerasberry's edit.

 * The Oxford section appears to be okay, so I went overboard in deleting that, and it's now restored. I went ahead and rewrote some of the early life section as well in my own words, so that is no longer an issue either. Wizardman  19:14, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
 * @Wizardman; Your edit was much appreciated by those trying to improve the Page in general. Over this week-end I'll try to get around to do something for the "Blindsight" section which I mentioned above. With some effort, maybe the article will start to move forward from its start class and stub class classification. With greetings of the New Year.

WikiCup 2015 launch newsletter
Round one of the 2015 WikiCup has begun! So far we've had around 80 signups, which close on February 5. If you have not already signed up and want to do so, then you can add your name here. There have been changes to to several of the points scores for various categories, and the addition of Peer Reviews for the first time. These will work in the same manner as Good Article Reviews, and all of the changes are summarised here.

Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round, and one of the new changes this year is that all scores must be claimed within two weeks of an article's promotion or appearance, so don't forget to add them to your submissions pages! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! , and

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Opted-out of message delivery to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 20:51, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I cleaned this up myself and am very surprised it should come up as infringing copyright. I can only think that the original creator might have lifted the two-sentence description of the content of one of the novels from the novel's blurb – the rest I had almost completely rewritten/rephrased. Can you userfy it for me minus the description of the novels? --Andreas Philopater (talk) 11:23, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * And the titles listed will be the same, but listing the same titles in an author's bibliography as on an author's publicity page is pretty inevitable, and they should be word-for-word the same. That's not an infringement of copyright. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 11:42, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Right, titles are fine, but keeping what comes after ("tells the story of an Iranian girl who...") and not changing it is clearly a copyright issue. I went ahead and created a bare-bones version to use where own words can be used moving forward, since she does appear to be notable. Wizardman  14:46, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks! --Andreas Philopater (talk) 17:16, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Deletion query
Hi mate, can you explain the deletion of Merle Norman Cosmetics? Was it tagged for speedy deletion? I know it had issues (there's another discussion from a couple of weeks ago on my talk page). But I know the copyright wasn't "unambiguous" because I rewrote sections of it in my own words. If there were other sections that needed work, fine, but it wasn't even raised for discussion.

 * It still looks like an almost complete copy of the indeed page to me on the most recent revision. If you did rewrite it then it wasn't a significant enough rewrite. Perhaps I could have kept the one topic sentence, but at that point a copyvio deletion is the best option. Wizardman  14:57, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the lede was rewritten and the rest was going to be. No idea it was a copyvio. Bit frustrating given the company's history but I don't have the time to fight for it. Clearly people are keen to see it deleted and your deletion was appropriate. Thanks for the reply.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 14:06, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
