Deletion review for Rina Bovrisse

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Tuliram Ronghang. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.

I would like to appeal the deletion review for the Rina Bovrisse page. The page was deleted due to heavy editing wars and hack attacks. Conflict of interest by the hackers are implied.

​​​​​​​N.CelikovicLet's Talk ! 06:10, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

@N.Celikovic: Given the concerns about sockpuppeting and possible paid editing related to this article, I do not think it would be appropriate for me to reverse the consensus I found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rina Rose. It appears that you have copied another editor's message about a different article, but have not actually opened a Wikipedia:Deletion review for the Rina Bovrisse/Rina Rose article. You are welcome to do that if you wish, but a better next step in this case would be to create an appropriately-sourced draft. That would allow uninvolved editors to review the article you propose to create, and decide whether it addresses the issues raised in the AfD. --RL0919 (talk) 00:31, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Deletion review for Rener Gracie

Hello, RL0919. I'm writing to request reversion of Rener Gracie's page which was recently deleted and redirected to the Gracie Family page for lack of notability and possible COI (I know the subject). The discussion ended with two KEEPs and three REDIRECTs. I participated in the deletion discussion. I justified my objectivity as a contributor to counter the suggestion of COI. I also made several edits to the article to establish the subject's notability with more to come. In short, I agree with the aggregation of most Gracie family members (there have been 11 redirects), but this one subject warrants a dedicated page. I admittedly dumped 20-30 references to buy time by showing that there were many articles in the hopper that I could add to establish notability. But, I subsequently added content highlighting the subject's contributions to national efforts to combat bullying, sexual harassment, and police violence and mapped them to supporting citations. In the process of upgrading the article, I found that the contributors and a "senior editor" were offering to re-write the article for thousands of dollars to include generating citations from top tier sources - clearly a scam that led me to believe this may have been a targeted attack on the article. Please consider restoring the page to its latest version so that I can continue to upgrade it. Billodom2 (talk) 14:23, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

@Billodom2, the page has been redirected, but it is not deleted. You can access the redirect page itself here, including the "View history" link that allows you to access the older versions of the page. You are welcome to copy one of the old versions to a userspace draft to work on adding sources. When it is ready, you can ask to have your draft replace the redirect. (See Wikipedia:So you made a userspace draft for more information about how to submit your draft.) If you do make such a copy, please use an edit summary when creating it that attributes the text to where you copied it from; a typical phrasing would be "copied content from [[Rener Gracie]]; see that page's history for attribution". RL0919 (talk) 18:20, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
@RL0919, @Billodom2 Gracie clearly passes Wikipedia:Notability as a coach and an entrepreneur. The article was just poorly written and referenced it just needed to be improved not sent to AfD and redirected. It has now been rescued.

Thank you! Billodom2 (talk) 02:47, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

I have nominated Harriet Tubman for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. DrKay (talk) 15:08, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of University Scholars (disambiguation)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on University Scholars (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. gnu57 21:27, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

oops! see my sandbox

@Lingzhi.Renascence: I used some of your ideas in this edit. That brings it to 687 words for the section. I tried to retain the links to notable works and artists so readers could easily navigate to the articles about them rather than having to consult the sources. I also won't be removing the mention of the $20 bill, which was a very misguided suggestion IMO. --RL0919 (talk) 15:05, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
Mmm yes removing the bill will spark arguments and protests of "WIKIMAGA" and counter-protests of "WIKIWOKE". But I sorta mildly disagree with your other point. But whatever. Someone will figure it out. § Lingzhi (talk|check refs) 15:11, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
My greater concern about the bill is that regardless of whether it happens or not, the plan to do it has been widely covered in sources, to the point where not mentioning would be a significant oversight. --RL0919 (talk) 15:16, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
Cool. § Lingzhi (talk|check refs) 15:21, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – June 2023

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
  • As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

  • Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

  • The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.
