Relisting discussions at XFD

Hi there. I noticed you relisted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Success Akpojotor a fourth time. Please remember that per WP:RELIST, Relisting debates repeatedly in the hope of getting sufficient participation is not recommended, [...]] in general, debates should not be relisted more than twice. Users relisting a debate for a third (or further) time, or relisting a debate with a substantial number of commenters, should write a short explanation either within the {{relist}} template, or in addition to it, on why they did not consider the debate sufficient. (emphasis added) As such, next time, if you cannot do anything else, consider just skipping this discussion instead of relisting it yet again, especially when the last two relists did not work as well.

Thank you for editing my Monica Angle article

First I would like to thank you for looking for my article so quickly but I have a few questions. You said I shouldn't use citation 6 because it was the artists personal website, but this article is from the Buffalo State College's website's news and events section (http://newsandevents.buffalostate.edu/news/burchfield-penney-art-center-announces-new-board-trustees-and-council-members). Should I not use news and events sections of websites in general because of the risk the article would be deleted or is this one in particular not authoritative enough? Also you said I should get rid of all information copied from the Burchfield Penny article citation one (https://www.burchfieldpenney.org/artists/artist:monica-angle/). The information I took from this cite is all factual so I rearranged the wording and took out some words but I'm not sure if that'll be enough to fix the article. Would you mind taking another look before I resubmit the draft to let me know if I'm on the right track or if I should be doing something different? Again thank you so much for taking the time to review my first article cheers --Amfische2 (talk) 14:36, 25 June 2018 (UTC)Amfische2

Hi Amfische2, As you requested I have checked your draft, still you have to rearrange the words because it's looks like copyvio as you copied content from mentioned link also as I mentioned citation 4 and 6 to be removed before you resubmit with more citations and verifiable work sources but citation 4 you could use as official website link.

Closure of Ek Abla AfD

Hi,

Firstly let me stress that I'm not complaining, I'm just coming to seek clarification on your closure of the AfD I started on Ek Abla. My deletion rationale was that after several source searches, both online and offline, the film appeared to fail notability guidelines. I took it to AFD because I had PROD-ed it but Winged Blades of Godric removed the PROD and suggested more meticulous source searches considering the film's age. However, you closed it as Speedy Keep criteria 1, which is reserved for cases where there is no deletion rationale whatsoever. I think you made a mistake on this occasion (don't get me wrong, I've put up a few AFDs in the past couple of days and you've correctly relisted a good few of them), so I am asking you to reconsider your closure informally instead of taking it straight to review.

Many thanks,

Draft Declined: Aleksandra Osman

Hi there, sorry I was going through the article, and I get what you mean about citing sources. However, there are 2 newspapers and 1 magazine that I did cite, but they are in Croatian and when you click 'newspapers' link, it just does not mention them, it is a black page saying 'nothing found' in regards to Aleksandra Osman. I cited nacional.hr (there is a link to them as that specific article mentioning Aleksandra Osman was uploaded online), they are a newspaper. Also, Glas Slavonije is a newspaper as well, and there is a link to that article as well, which was uploaded online. Gloria magazine also has a 5 page spread in their magazine about Aleksandra Osman, but that article was not uploaded online and is instead only in the physical copy of the magazine. My questions is, how do I go about citing then if I did cite the newspapers and magazine, but for some reason it does not show when the link 'newspapers-news, etc.' is clicked. If you Google Glas Slavonije and Nacional, the newspapers I did cite, you can see that they are indeed newspaper magazine, listed everywhere online but are in Croatian. You can click 'translate' to see that they are a newspaper and they are also explained further on Wikipedia in English (and again, 2 newspapers and 1 magazine). It just feels discriminating and confusing that it is not registering this information automatically only because it's in Croatian language. A friend who publishes articles on Wikipedia tells me he noticed that it's a similar issue with articles in English when they're published with non-English references/topics. How do I go about this? I have more articles that I'd like to publish later on, but some of them also with Croatian references, so I want to make sure that this is done properly from both our sides. Thank you.  :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Literatta (talk • contribs) 05:03, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Literatta as I mentioned needs more citations and verifiable work sources, and you use IMDb links as references which should not be also note that wikipedia is not a references itself. docent ment you publish your articles with non-english references but that should be a verifiable work sources. also you could translated Croatian Wikipedia articles to English Wikipedia with Croatian references. Warm Regards, ZI Jony (talk) 18:35, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Streetbees

Hi there ZI Jony, Silencer17 here – I submitted the Streetbees page recently, and it didn't get accepted. Just trying to understand further why, and how I might be able to get it over the line! (to be clear – I work for the company)

Specifically, the reason left is a lack of published, reliable, secondary sources – however, I would point to several pieces referenced that I would argue very much are, especially:

Reference 2 – UKTN (one of the most important publications on the UK the sector)

Reference 4 – Forbes

Reference 5 – Evening Standard – London's biggest-selling newspaper

Reference 8 – appearance on Bloomberg TV (this seemed difficult to reference properly, is if fully clear that it's Bloomberg?)

Reference 11 – Sunday Times – I appreciate this is behind a paywall, but it's still the most influential newspaper in the UK – surely reliable?

I also didn't want to put this in the piece but the fundraise itself is significant – it's one of the largest fundraises by a UK company of this age ever.

Can you give me any advice on how to take this forward or improve the submission?

Thanks much, appreciate your time! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Silencer17 (talk • contribs) 15:15, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Draft Declined: Accra Lions Football Club

Hi ZI Jony,

I just have a quick question about the declined draft for "Accra Lions Football Club". You wrote: "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified." – so ghanasoccernet is as example not a reliable source, is that why the draft was declined? How about the official homepage of the football club? If this is a reliable source, I will just edit the sources and send it again, or can you tell me detailed what exactly is wrong?

I would be very happy about an answer and, thank you, I appreciate your time! Tfnalp (talk) 16:37, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Tfnalp Please read WP:CIT and WP:CITE then you will understand the process also you will have your answers. Warm Regards, ZI Jony (talk) 20:08, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Article for deletion declined

Hello, I just remembered that I submitted the article for deletion some time ago but it was declined with a "speedy keep" reason by you. Why exactly was it not deleted? Because of "consensus" by other commenters? As of now, the article is still in an unusable form, with only a single reference VERY BRIEFLY mentioning the name of the power plant, with no detailed info about it. I also checked the proposed references in that AfD nomination, all of them also mention the subject of the article VERY BRIEFLY and don't provide any extensive information about it (except the fact that the water discharge of this station was used for some insignificant study a couple of times)... I won't be nominating it for AfD again, I'm just trying to understand the reason why it still exists in its current form...Omgwtfbbqsomethingrandom (talk) 20:26, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Hey Omgwtfbbqsomethingrandom to re-nominate Konakovo Power Station for deletion, you must manually edit the AfD nomination links to create a new discussion page using the name format of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Konakovo Power Station (2nd nomination). When you create the new discussion page, please provide a link to this old discussion in your nomination. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 20:38, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Bad AfD closes and relistings

You've recently been closing discussions as "speedy keep":

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joseph Wang
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roark Capital Group
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional diseases (2nd nomination)
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Konakovo Power Station
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thermal Power Plant 27
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Klaus Krippendorff
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ek Abla

However, this is an inappropriate use of WP:SKCRIT#1. In all of these cases, the nomination rationale was a valid reason. Even if it was proved to be untrue, that's not a reason to speedily close. In fact, in the last one, your closure was overturned and the discussion eventually closed as delete.

Also, per WP:CLOSEAFD, please do not close or relist discussions until a full 7 days/168 hours have passed, for example:

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of pornographic film studios
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/London Super Comic Convention

and just about every AfD that you've relisted. Please keep in mind that, per WP:NOQUORUM, AfDs with no participation beyond the nominator should be judged as a WP:PROD and deleted if the rationale is proper – which non-administrators cannot do.

Frankly, I don't believe you have enough experience with deletion yet to be doing administrative tasks at AfD or other deletion venues – I note that you have several self-reverted FfD closes as well. I would recommend that you read through the entirety of WP:AfD, WP:Guide to deletion, WP:ATA, and WP:NAC, plus similar relevant pages for the other deletion venues; and then gain experience by participating in deletion discussions properly before even thinking about relisting or closing more discussions.

Indigo Agriculture

Hi, was going through some recent closes and this caught my eye. Can you please (as you are required) provide a rationale for your closing of this AfD of Indigo Agriculture as Keep. In my opinion, none of the Keep !voters cited a policy or guideline to support their arguments (except Eddy who says "There are enough sources for GNG to be met" but a) the quantity of sources is not a factor for GNG and b) he didn't point to any sources in particular) and the sources posted by Originalmess likewise fail to point out which particular policy/guideline these sources are supposed to adhere to but from his argument he clearly fails to understand NCORP since he points to possible press releases and interviews which would both fails ORGIND. HighKing⁺⁺ 17:29, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

HighKing Sources need verifiable evaluation of notability, per reliable source guideline. Those sources provided are secondary sources. As an company meet WP:NCORP also article has been rewritten and now its not looks promotional article. Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 19:11, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

ZI Jony, Yes, I agree with all that. The references meet the criteria for "functional independence" (reliable secondary sources, etc). But clearly you are not aware of aware that references must also meet the criteria for "intellectual independence" (documented in WP:NCORP)? Based on your response, you also do not appear to understand your role in closing an AfD. It is not for you to recite *your opinion* on the suitability of sources, but to evaluate the arguments put forward by the participants. Please reopen the AfD and allow someone else to close it. HighKing⁺⁺ 19:32, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

@HighKing: It is the job of the closer to weigh up consensus – not to judge whether or not the sources that !voters have listed are independent or not. If, as in this case, numerous people say that GNG/CORP is met, then it is. ZI Jony did revert but without mentioning this and so I already reverted them. If you think that the close was inappropriate, please head to WP:DRV. SmartSE (talk) 19:45, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

@Smartse:, @ZI Jony:, yes I've just had a very similar discussion on another closer's page discussing very similar issues. In a nutshell (and agreeing with Smartse), closers should not be seen to exercise a "supervote". What I requested amounts to calling for the closing admin to place their own interpretation on policies and guidelines which I've been told is not the job of the closer. Apologies for getting that wrong but we're all learning! HighKing⁺⁺ 11:21, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

@HighKing: Indeed we are! Thanks for admitting your mistake. SmartSE (talk) 19:53, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in study

Hello,

I am E. Whittaker, I am working with Wikimedia’s Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil Behavior Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2018–43

The winner this Translation of the week is Invasion of Åland Please be bold and help to translation this article! The Invasion of Åland was a 1918 military campaign of World War I in the Åland Islands, Finland. The islands occupied by the proto-Soviet Union (Soviet Russia) were first invaded by Kingdom of Sweden in late February and then by the German Empire in early March. The conflict was also related to the Finnish Civil War including minor fighting between the Finnish Whites and the Finnish Reds. As Germany took control over Åland in March 1918, Russian troops were captured and the Swedish troops left the islands by the end of the Finnish Civil War in May. The Germans stayed in Åland until September 1918. The Åland Islands dispute was then turned over to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 and the League of Nations in 1920. The Åland convention was finally signed in 1921 re-establishing the demilitarised status of Åland as an autonomous part of Finland.

The winner this Translation of the week is Moravec's paradox Please be bold and help to translation this article! Moravec's paradox is the discovery by artificial intelligence and robotics researchers that, contrary to traditional assumptions, high-level reasoning requires very little computation, but low-level sensorimotor skills require enormous computational resources. The principle was articulated by Hans Moravec, Rodney Brooks, Marvin Minsky and others in the 1980s. As Moravec writes, "it is comparatively easy to make computers exhibit adult level performance on intelligence tests or playing checkers, and difficult or impossible to give them the skills of a one-year-old when it comes to perception and mobility".

The winner this Translation of the week is Hiroshima Maidens Please be bold and help to translation this article! The Hiroshima Maidens are a group of 25 Japanese women who were school age girls when they were seriously disfigured as a result of the thermal flash of the fission bomb dropped on Hiroshima on the morning of August 6, 1945. They subsequently went on a highly publicized journey to get reconstructive surgery in the US in 1955. Keloid scars from their burns marred their faces and many of their hand burns healed into bent claw-like positions. These women, as well as the other citizens affected by the A-bomb, were referred to as hibakusha, meaning "explosion-affected people".

Rollback granted

Hi ZI Jony. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have temporarily enabled rollback on your account until 2018-12-31. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Salvio ^{Let's talk about it!} 17:26, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

• Some templates that show notices about the content of the page will now be shown on the mobile website. In many cases they were hidden before. [43][44]
• Admins can no longer unblock themselves, except for self-blocks. A blocked admin can block the user who blocked them but no one else. This is so no one can block all admins on a wiki without being stopped. [45]
• The ParserMigration extension has been removed. It compared the result of two versions of the MediaWiki wikitext parsing pipeline. It was used when we moved to the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy.

Problems

• <ref> tags can use parameters such as "name" or "group". For example <ref name="adams" group="books">. If a <ref> tag has more than two parameters all parameters are ignored. You don't get a warning that they don't work. This will soon be fixed. [46]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 December. It will be on all wikis from 20 December (calendar).

If you have an Android phone and speak at least two languages you can help testing in English. Tell Dchen (WMF) you want to be part of the testing by writing on her talk page or email her.
• tiles.wmflabs.org and wma.wmflabs.org will stop working. They have no maintainers and run an old operating system. Tools which use it could stop working. This includes the mapnik gadget, hill shading, and hike and bike layers. New maintainers could help out and keep it going. [47]
