WikiProject Eurovision Important Announcement
Dear Project Member Following a project community discussion, which was raised over the use of English translation columns on annual contest articles, and advice from the lead coordinator of The Guild of Copy Editors, who are extremely knowledgeable in regards to all editing practises and manual of style policies. A consensus decision has been reached to fully remove ALL English translations, as such content falls under the prohibition on original research, even if it seems helpful to the reader. This is because we have now to assume that every reader has access to automated translation tools that can always give them a sense of the meaning of the title in their native language; it is not Wikipedia's job to provide those tools for the reader. Which therefore means we are no longer to include an English translation column, nor are we to provide translation by any other means on contest articles. Such information is currently in the process of being removed, and a new table formatting and layout style is being rolled out across all articles. Please view the new guidance on table layout at Wikipedia:WikiProject Eurovision/Format and Guides#Article layout. An example of the new table layout style can also be access via the collapsed section within this message. Thank you. |

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".

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Frikar Dance Company, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Norwegian. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

OK, thanks. I guess I just hearken back to the culture of the early days, when being bold meant doing renames that way. Daniel Case (talk) 19:11, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
On 10 September 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Syster Sol, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that singer Syster Sol (pictured) won the award for Best Reggae/Dancehall at the 2014 Kingsizegala? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Syster Sol. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello BabbaQ, My name is Stephanie Barker and I am a student at the University of Colorado Boulder. I am currently enrolled in a Digital Anthropology class, which attempts to answer how the digital world affects culture and how culture affects the digital world. For my final project I am doing an ethnography on women Wikipedia users and as a member of the WikiProject Women page I was hoping I could ask you some questions about your experiences editing Wikipedia pages. 1. Have you ever been locked into an intense editing war? If yes, please explain the situation to me. 2. How did you become interested in editing Wikipedia pages and did you have any initial fears/hesitations when you started editing pages? 3. Have you ever been a victim of a mass deletion or other vandalism on Wikipedia? If yes, please explain the situation to me. 4. How would you describe your gender? 5. Is there anything else you would like to share with me about your experiences as a Wikipedia editor? I would like you to know that I am only sharing my research with my professor and the other students in my class. If you would like me to send you a copy of my final project, I would be more than happy to! Sincerely,Stelba90 (talk) 01:30, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello, BabbaQ. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Alexandra Pascalidou at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! – Corinne (talk) 20:45, 9 August 2016 (UTC) |
Hello, BabbaQ -- I apologize for the delay in getting to your article. I have just completed the copy-edit. However, I have a few questions and concerns for you. If you will answer my questions, I would be happy to make the necessary changes.
1) In the third paragraph in Alexandra Pascalidou#Life and career, you mention a television station, ERT. I think the acronym (ERT) should either be spelled out, or linked to something that explains it, or both.
2) The second-to-last sentence in that paragraph is:
The last phrase, "the year when Greece won the competition for the first time", is not clear. It's not clear what year that was. If it was in 2005, then the sentence can be re-worded to reflect that. Just let me know. Also, the next sentence starts, "In the same year", so it really has to be clear what year is meant.
3) Toward the beginning of the third paragraph, you say she lived in Greece for two years, and you give examples of her work there. The next paragraph, which consists of only one sentence, reads:
So, by then she was back in Sweden. It's not clear whether it was a temporary position, or whether she moved back to Sweden. It might help your readers if you made it clear whether (and when, if possible) she moved back to Sweden. Then what will follow are examples of her work there. We might consider joining this one-sentence paragraph with the next one, since they are all about her jobs in Sweden.
4) Regarding the paragraph that begins, "She participated in the show Pokermiljonen", I would provide dates or years for those jobs.
5) In the sixth paragraph of Alexandra Pascalidou#Life and career, you have this sentence:
6) The next paragraph begins with this sentence:
7) In paragraphs 6 and 7, you have external links. I think these are not supposed to be in the body of an article. You can put them in the "See also" section at the end of the article.
8) In paragraph 7, you have a sentence that begins:
If you mean areas of the big cities, then I would change "areas" to "neighborhoods":
9) You have used two date styles in this article. You have the American style in "July 17, 1970" at the beginning of the article and the British style in "21 January 2016" in the last paragraph of Alexandra Pascalidou#Life and career. These should be consistent, so decide which style you want to use.
10) Here is the the one-sentence last paragraph of the "Life and career" section:
For the average Wikipedia reader, "the semi-final allocation draw" might be unclear. Can you link this to something that would explain it?
11) In the one-paragraph section Alexandra Pascalidou#Plagiarism and ghost writing, I changed "accounts" to "instances". "Accounts" means stories, so I don't think that is the best word. (I thought of using "counts", but that word is used in the courts. It would be the correct word if you are talking about her being formally charged of plagiarism in court, but if she was not charged, then we can't use that word.) "Instances" means "small events" or "occurrences".
I don't think it is a crime to translate a poem from one language to another. What is a crime (i.e., plagiarism) is to translate a poem and then publish the translation without indicating who the original author was, making it seem as if you had written the poem. Thus, I think we need to add a few words here:
or
12) In the last bulleted item in the section Alexandra Pascalidou#Bibliography, you have this sentence:
I have no idea what you mean by "tooting literature". I have never seen that phrase before. Do you mean, perhaps, "inspirational literature"? Well, that's all for now. – Corinne (talk) 21:45, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello: The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Christopher Wilder has been completed.
You will notice that I archived one of the article’s citations (#3). I suggest that you archive the rest of the urls as time allows. This ensures that the article's references are available "forever" and that it doesn’t develop “dead links” over time. The site I use is https://archive.org/web/. Simply copy the url in your citation and paste it in the box on the archive.org site and click save. It creates a copy of the original page and provides you with a new url to add to your original citation. If you look at the url I've archived you'll see the syntax. You add the new url to the end of the original citation like this: |archiveurl= http etc|archivedate=3 April 2015)).

Hey,
With regards to Abby Lee Miller the edits I was making were to remove information not supported by the source, I didn't really feel the need at the time to post on the talk page but now I've seen the amount of vandalism the page has suffered I guess it probably is worth mentioning. --2.29.52.80 (talk) 10:14, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
BabbaQ, not sure if you knew about this, but per WP:ELDEAD if any external links no longer work, we're suppose to either find and updated version and replace, or just simply remove them. I've noted you tagging some on a couple of articles. I've just removed all from Nigar Jamal's article. Just thinking it'll save you time tagging them, when it might be easier to just remove them instead. Wes Mouse ✒ 11:45, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

"Hi Wesley Mouse (talk page stalker) here...". It is clearly giving off they have tried to impersonate me, but then signed their comment, rather than leaving it blank. And looking at ANI archives, the user has cropped up several times in the last 6 months alone. Wes Mouse ✒ 23:26, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
I'm not too sure, to be honest. I'm allowing him/her time to give explanation for their actions; then I'll consider what to do thereafter. Impersonation, however, is a blocking offence, and ANI would be the venue to take the matter to, if impersonating is proven to be done on purpose and in malice. Wes Mouse ✒ 23:35, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello BabbaQ: The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Oba Chandler has been completed. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Hey BabbaQ,
Thanks for asking me to look at Molly Sanden for you, it must mean you like the way I write. :) I have had a read of it and have tried to make it read a little better. I hope you are ok with my changes. I haven't checked any of the facts or anything in what was there, I am assuming that was all correct. A suggestion would be to add a few more dates to various statements (e.g. school/ Helges All Stars band), and her 'career' section could be more about her musical career (including release dates of singles/ albums and/or chart positions etc) but it's good.
Happy to help out. Tobyjamesaus (talk) 08:40, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello! I am happy to be asked, I assume it may well be because of the Swedish connection! Having said that however, I must disappoint you and admit that although I recognize her name and face I am not so well into the Swedish entertainment industry, my musical taste is limited to foreign rock artists and my Wikipedia engagement mainly is about climate, geography and related things. However I wish you the best of luck in terms of improving the article :)

I absolutely agree that Frans Jeppsson-Wall may win this all. It is a very simple yet adorable song. It was also #1 on Sverigetopplistan which tells you something. Everybody loves it. Unfortunately though, Frans doesn't have the strong enough vocals himself to carry the song on a big live stage like Eurovision. What I really loved though is Oscar Zia's "Human" for this year's entry for Eurovision. Personally me being a sucker for happy tunes, I would love to hear songs like "Bada nakna" by Samir & Viktor, "Kizunguzungu" by SaRaha and "Håll om mig hårt" by Panetoz. But they cannot win, can they coming from andra chansen? LOL I will watch the final live in Montreal in the Saturday afternoon. Can't wait. Plus I would be happy if Frans does win werldwayd (talk) 19:17, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

On 4 January I left you a note about copying Julia Kronlid from Swedish Wikipedia to English Wikipedia. The act of copying (with translation) is fine, indeed helpful and productive, but you need to attribute where it originally came from. You said at the time you'd do so. But I notice Margareta Hallin has the exact same problem, and this is an article you translated in mid-February. You translated the article from Swedish Wikipedia, but didn't say that's where it came from. Until Gerda put the notice on the talk page yesterday, this was a licensing violation.
The editors of the Swedish article put a lot of time and effort into creating the original article. By not crediting them, you are claiming their work as your own. That is against policy, and is unethical. In January I assumed this was an oversight, but now that you said you'd change but didn't, I'm going to be less polite and more direct: Stop doing this, or you will likely be sanctioned.
Also, please go back through the other articles you've created by translating a Swedish article, and if it hasn't been done already, attribute them on the talk page too, the way Gerda did. Other people should not have to go back and do this for you. In past similar cases (well, not exactly similar, but sort of), editors have been forbidden from creating new articles until they help fix previous articles they've created with licensing issues. You're lucky in that correcting the license is as easy as adding a template to the article talk page.
And in the future, use "translated from the Swedish Wikipedia article", with a link to the specific article, as your edit summary when creating the article. The note on the talk page alone is suboptimal, and attributing it in the edit summary during creation is more obvious, and more respectful to the editors of Swedish Wikipedia. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:24, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello BabbaQ: The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Clark Olofsson has been completed. I have a couple of suggestions for you to consider which I think would improve the article.
You use the phrase “pop-gangster” in the lead but this is not explained in the body of the article, nor is it cited.You also state in the lead that he is later known as Daniel Demuynck but don't explain when or why.
In 1973 he is sentenced to Kalmar Prison but in the Norrmalmstorg section, in late 1973, he's in Norrköping prison. Why?
In the “Norrmalmstorg” section you note that Olsson demands that Olofsson be brought to the bank but do not explain their relationship or why he would do this. You then mention another robbery in 1975 which is not related to Norrmalmstorg and should probably be in its own section. There is no indication of the outcome of this robbery. Was he jailed? Is this the end of his “career”?
The picture illustrating the article shows him with fiancee but no details are provided.
In the lead you mention that he is living in Belgium but there is no explanation in the body of the article as to how he got there. So, the article as it stands now is incomplete.
You will notice that I archived the article’s first citation and I would strongly suggest that you archive the rest as time allows. This ensures your article's references are available "forever". The site I use is https://archive.org/web/. Simply copy the url in your citation and paste it in the box on the archive.org site and click save. It creates a copy of the original page and provides you with a new url to add to your original citation. If you look at the url I've archived you'll see the syntax. You add the new url to the end of the original citation like this: |archiveurl= http etc|archivedate=11 February 2016)) Not all websites allow archiving - CBS TV news and the NY Times are two I've come across, so there's not much you can do about that unless there is an alternate citation you could use.

Hello, BabbaQ -- I believe you had requested a copy-edit of Sweden Democrats at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests. I have just completed the copy-edit, but I need to ask you about a few things. (After I had typed most of these comments, I realized that maybe you didn't write the article, or didn't write all of it, and if that's the case, please forgive my saying "you" in these comments.)
1) Early in the article I saw British date format (day-month-year), so after that I changed all dates to that format. To go along with that, I changed the spelling of "installment" (American English) to "instalment" (British English). If you prefer that the article use American English style, let me know and I'd be glad to change the dates and the spelling of that one word back.
2) In the third paragraph in the section Sweden Democrats#Entrance into parliament (2010–2014), you begin by mentioning "videos" several times. Then, at one point just after the middle of the paragraph you change to singular, "video". If there were really several videos, and then you wish to focus on one video, I think a brief explanation needs to be given to make clear the transition from the plural to the singular. If it was several videos all along, then the singular needs to be changed to the plural. If it was only one video all along, the plural needs to be changed to the singular.
3) You'll see that I made an edit to the first sentence in the section Sweden Democrats#Views on national identity. Here is the sentence as it is now:
I removed "not" before "necessarily" because there were two negatives in the same clause. This is the way it was:
I thought that did not make sense, and that it made more sense without the second "not", so I removed it, but I wanted to point it out to you just in case something else was meant.
4) At the end of that paragraph, you give the first few lines of a statement that Söder made in the Jerusalem Post. I'm just wondering whether it would be helpful to the reader if more of his statement were given, or if a paraphrase of his main points were given there. I'm not advocating providing more coverage for his views; it just seems that what is there doesn't say much of substance.
5) In the section Sweden Democrats#Media boycott, I think it would be helpful to say why the two newspapers decided to end their boycott.
6) In the last paragraph in the lead, you have this phrase: "Scania County North & East". Is that the actual name of a district, or is that two districts, Scania County North and Scania County East? If it is not the actual name of a district, and/or is really two districts, I would change "&" to "and".
7) In the second paragraph in the section Sweden Democrats#Rise in support (2014– ), you have this sentence:
I'm just wondering if this would be clearer if a few words were added:
or:
If you prefer it the way it is now, that's fine.
8) In the fourth paragraph of the lead is the following sentence:
The last part of the sentence is not completely clear. Do you mean:
or
If you mean the former, then you can leave it as it is. If you mean the latter, then I would add "in" before "the capital". Corinne (talk) 03:02, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
BabbaQ – I'm surprised you would archive all this without responding (if not to me, then at least in the article) to any of my concerns and questions. If this is not useful for you, I would be less inclined to spend the time writing these kinds of comments in future copy-edits. Since you have requested my help on articles in the past, I thought you found these kinds of detailed comments helpful. Corinne (talk) 21:14, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi, BabbaQ. Putting whitespace after the '*' and the '#' in lists is standard operating procedure and it is added by many automated tools that scrub Wikipedia articles. There is no need to remove the spaces.
Also, putting whitespace (a line break) after headings, templates, and images is helpful for editors with low-vision when they are editing. It helps them know where the prose stops and starts. There is no need to remove them. In fact, if you see whitespace (a line break) missing above a section heading be sure to add one as those are required for the backend to properly process section headings. Usually those mistakes are self-healing but not always.
Also, DEFAULTSORT: is germane to Categories, so there is no whitespace needed there.
None of the whitespace mentioned above renders to the reader so it is all semantics. Keep up the good work, and thank you for your graciousness in all matters. Cheers! ((u|Checkingfax)) {Talk}

Hi BabbaQ, I stumbled across Julia Kronlid, and realized it started out as a word-for-word translation of the Swedish article. First things first: this is a perfectly cromulent thing to do. But remember to properly attribute it, that's part of the licensing requirements. Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia#Translating from other language Wikimedia projects recommends that the first edit have an edit summary similar to "Content in this edit is translated from the existing Swedish Wikipedia article at sv:Julia Kronlid; see its history for attribution." Since that ship has already sailed, the next best thing is a note on the talk page saying something similar. I've added one at Talk:Julia Kronlid. Thanks both to you (for translating) and The Rambling Man for polishing it up.
If there are other articles you've translated from other language wikipedias, could you go back and add similar notes to their talk pages as well?
Let me know if you have any questions. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:25, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi BabbaQ, I was just wondering if you could take a look at Glenford Baptist when you have a few moments. The subject is a Belizean death row inmate, the last in that country, who recently had his death sentence overturned due to the length of time he'd spent in jail. There was a documentary about the case on television in the UK last night and seeing there was nothing about it here I thought I'd create something. Any help you can give, such as finding more sources, would be greatly appreciated, and please let anyone else who can help know about this. Thanks in advance, This is Paul (talk) 19:23, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi BabbaQ, I'm guessing you're Swedish? Apologies if I am totally off base on this, but I thought you might be able to help. While doing quick checks on Patrick Castielle, I've found a few links for his alternative name, Patrick Larsson. They all come from news articles for Aftonbladet, a Swedish tabloid - although founded in 1830, I am wondering if Aftonbladet is now considered a reliable source? As I do not read Swedish, I don't understand the articles, but they are definitely about him as they also mention Olinda. A glance at them makes me think the articles look pretty trashy, and as they are all from a single newspaper, additional sources other than Aftonbladet are needed. Ie: [4] [5] [6] [7]. I see other hits for "Patrick Larsson" but can't tell if they ARE about him. Like I said in AFD, I don't really have any strong feelings either way about this guy, as even though his article probably deserved deletion, I just kind of felt the AFD ended a shade too abruptly and would have liked to see at least one other opinion/view. Thanks for your thoughts. Mabalu (talk) 02:55, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi BabbaQ, Baffle gab1978 has asked me if you could confirm what you want doing with the references in the copy edit as your request seems to be a bit confusing. I think by text references you mean you want them to be converted to offline sources, but please confirm if that is right? I looked on the web for replacements for the dead links, but haven't been on the Internet archive because it doesn't work too well for me, so you might want to check that out if you get the chance.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))

On 16 August 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Linnea Henriksson, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Swedish singer Linnea Henriksson's (pictured) song "Enastående" was part of the soundtrack to the Swedish movie Once Upon a Time in Phuket? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Linnea Henriksson. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Simona Williams is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Simona Williams until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. -- Aunva6talk - contribs 01:39, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi and thanks for your help in updating WP:Selected anniversaries (On This Day). Please be sure you read the guidelines on that page. For example, in this edit, there was no need to remove Michael Schumacher. Also, the event you add should be the most (or at least very) important date for the bold article, so British Armed Forces is not a good blurb include there, nor is Rommel. Thanks. —howcheng {chat} 04:21, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Hey BabbaQ. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.
We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.
Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 21:46, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
On 2 September 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Leif "Loket" Olsson, which you created or substantially expanded.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Leif "Loket" Olsson. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Hi again. I'll take a look at it tomorrow and see what I can do. I agree with SlimVirgin though, it might be wise to find someone who can read/speak Swedish to check out the sources. Chrome can translate into English, but it don't always do a great job, and there are a couple of things Slim already mentions that I'd have difficulty with. If you haven't done it already, you might want to check out Category:Wikipedians in Sweden where there should be someone who can help. Good luck anyway. I'll probably be back Saturday lunchtime/afternoon, so I'll go through it then. I'll add the page to my watchlist before I sign off so I'll be up to date with anything that happens there Cheers Paul MacDermott (talk) 23:17, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi
I'm all done with the copyediting, I hope have been helpful. I have some other comments as well. As a reader I find it quite confusing as to what time period Höglund was working for Sveriges Radio as it isn't very specified unlike the rest of the section. I find the award section to be quite painful to read as well. Apart from being quite repetitive, I believe that translating the titles of the awards would be a good idea as English readers will gain no significant knowledge from the section except for the fact that Höglund has won numerous awards. Also "Föreningen Skogs- och Lantbruksjournalister's Stora Pris för sina engagerande reportage om djurvård, plågsamma djurtransporter och djurmisshandel" will probably need a longer explanation with a smaller description of her article to help the reader understand the context. Perhaps it would also be interesting to know what kind of cancer Höglund suffered from as there are numerous forms of the disease?
Good work on the article so far! --Reckless182 (talk) 19:29, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
Hello BabbaQ, and thank you for your many contributions. I had a look at some of your recent Sweden-related contributions, and a few questions cropped up. It clearly looks like you source the articles and their statements from the corresponding articles in Swedish Wikipedia (usually a very good choice as it allows quicker article creation, if you can "decipher" the source language), but you do no longer add interwiki links to the source. I'm curious - is this because of the new handling of interwiki links via Wikidata, i.e., has it become too difficult, also with the new tool which means that you usually don't have to open Wikidata separately? I wouldn't say that it is absolutely mandatory to add such links, but it is definitely recommended, and in your case there always seems to be a svwiki article which you're looking at anyway. But on the other hand, thanks for your consistent adding of project templates. Best regards, Tomas e (talk) 13:02, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
I should be online at various times throughout the day so give me a shout and I'll do my best to answer your question. Paul MacDermott (talk) 10:43, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
On 18 June 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Wedding of Princess Madeleine of Sweden and Christopher O'Neill, which you created or substantially expanded.

Hi, Elisabet Höglund has 4319 characters (715 words) so is definitely long enough for DYK. It does need some spellchecking, but that shouldn't be a problem. Had a look at some of the Chandler refs and they seem fine, so you should go ahead and add them. It's still working its way to the top of the WP:GOCE list, but someone should hopefully do the copy edit soon. Paul MacDermott (talk) 15:21, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

I think it needs to be slightly longer as they like a minimum of 1500 characters. DYK check is showing it to have 966, but that doesn't seem to take into account the list of her films. It might be ok, but will definitely be fine if you can add another 600 characters to the prose. Hope this helps. Paul MacDermott (talk) 18:37, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
Ah, looks like you have to install it (strange though as it just seemed to appear one day for me). You can add;

Hi. The Oba Chandler peer review has closed this morning, but sadly without any feedback. I'll submit it for a copyedit, and think it should go forward to the next stage. Even if it doesn't pass it should generate some useful comments. Let me know what you want to do. Cheers Paul MacDermott (talk) 11:30, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi BabbaQ, hope all is well. I've just done an assessment exercise for Project Eurovision, and have noticed that on all the ESC2013 participant (BLP) articles you've given a 'future' classification. I think I know what you meant by 'future' as they are participating in a contest that has yet to happen. But, on a BLP 'future' would interpret as being that the person(s) has yet to be born? LOL So I've done you a favour and fixed them all. Gave me a giggle nevertheless. How's things anyway? Wesley♦Mouse 21:01, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
BabbaQ, got some good news that I couldn't resist sharing with you. I've been accepted as a volunteer at Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, 8 months after I did volunteering at London Olympics. Wesley♦Mouse 18:30, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
I'm happy for "remarkably" to be removed from the article on ESC 2013, as you have just done. I only left it in because it was there in the version I edited, and I'm not sufficiently expert on ESC voting and results to know whether or not this is indeed a significant event. Personally, I'd have skipped over the entire topic in the lead paragraph, as it doesn't seem that headline-worthy to me, but I'm not an expert, so I left it there.

Hi, I noticed you have archived the talk page for Killing of Travis Alexander. I think you have put it in the wrong place, it should be Talk:Killing of Travis Alexander/Archive 1 not Archive1/Killing of travis Alexander which has been created as a new article. There is ref tags in there as well that is creating cite errors, which is how I noticed it, so they may need to be commented out. Thanks. Sarahj2107 (talk) 13:46, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks, it looks like an interesting case. I've made one or small minor tweaks and added some wikiprojects to the talk page. I'll add it to my watchlist and take a look round. I have ten days of HighBeam access left, so there might be something from there I can add. On another note, are you still planning to take Oba Chandler through an A-Class review, or FAC? I've reached the end of my current Peer Review list, and am waiting for the last one to archive, so could submit the Chandler article for PR in the next couple of weeks. Let me know if this is ok.

Hi, could you take a look at the Murder of Anni Dewani article as you were the creator of the article. A user has today made several huge edits and removals of information that seem to have changed the article into a pro-South Africa article in the stance of guilt or not of Annis murderers. Alot of info removed also concerning South Africas poverty problems that were properly sourced. If you find time please take a look, I am quite suspicious of the edits made. I am also thinking the user has some connection to the case as he has removed alot of the information pointing to guilt of the people involved in her murder.--BabbaQ (talk) 13:12, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Dear BabbQ Hi. This is just an inquiry about these Afds. Do you know if the channel and show that these two are on is notable? It is true I don't know much about Icelandic media but don't know about this channel or the show or the hosts. I would have thought I would do. Are you sure these are sufficiently notable? I think the page on Ólafur Hannesson has been deleted on Icelandic WP twice 31st janúar 2013 and 30th nóvember 2008 due to lack of notability. I don't know if there is some bias in operation there as I don't look it much but it does add to my doubts. Best wishes, (Msrasnw (talk) 15:43, 27 March 2013 (UTC))

Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the ((prod blp)) tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. IShadowed (talk) 02:28, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
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 Cezar Florin Ouatu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. -- Patchy1 REF THIS BLP

Hey BabbaQ; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 21:38, 13 March 2013 (UTC
I think it's good to keep my edits under observation for now. I'm trying my best to not fall back into that gossip-tone... i want to avoid any kind of trouble with you and other users. If you have any other suggestion for me, feel free to write in my talk page. Thanks and have an amazing day. EricaL2003 (talk) 21:48, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
The article Snow lantern has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
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. PamD 09:12, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello BabbaQ and IP editor. I have declined both reports at AIV. BabbaQ, I think you made some mistakes with the way you handled this matter. First, you should not have characterised the IP's post as vandalism, when it was clearly an attempt to improve the encyclopedia and they had already become active on the article talk page. Second, you should not have removed the other party's remarks from the WP:AIV page. They have a right to post there and give their side of the story. The only remarks that people should delete from WP pages or talk pages is stuff they wish to remove from their own talk page. Please leave everything else alone.
All three of these IPs - 87.232.1.48; 87.232.101.9; and 134.226.254.178 geolocate to the same place, somewhere in Europe. It's quite likely that all three IP editors are the same person, but it's not certain. Some IPs are dynamic; that means a person is assigned a new IP address each time they boot up their computer. Another possibility is a person editing with a mobile device who is assigned a new IP each time they leave the range of one cell tower and enter another cell. 134.226.254.178 geolocates to a college. -- Dianna (talk) 20:52, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, you're of course free to reassess articles using the scale at WP:ASSESS, but do not delete assessements as you did here, and apparently for several articles other as well. Thank you. Tomas e (talk) 17:02, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
On second thought, seeing the number of deleted assessments under the misleading edit summary "reassessment", I think I have to underline that this type of edits must be considered vandalism.
Hello, I'm Tomas e. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Tomas e (talk) 17:09, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello again BabbaQ. I also noted that you have made several edits like this one, where you add ((translated)) to articles long in existence. Since you have not edited the article, how do you know that Zingostar (talk · contribs), who created the article in October 2007, translated from the Swedish Wikipedia version of that time, rather than using the two sources given then? If not, I don't really understand why you have added the template. Tomas e (talk) 17:29, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello! Your submission of Murder of Gerd Johansson at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified.

Hi BabbaQ, I thought it only right I inform you, I reverted your edit to the above page, the article was delsorted before the AfD was closed, an error in my edit summary may have confused that. Therefore it is the same as any other article that has been delsorted should be left so it can be archived. Regards ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 13:25, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Just completed a read through and my initial thoughts are that it's fairly good. I took the refs out of the lead as per WP:LEADCITE, and posted those not used elsewhere in the text to the talk page so they can be reintegrated somewhere else.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Black Spark is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Black Spark (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 00:11, 13 December 2012 (UTC
1. Stop attacking me personally based on the fact that there are perceived issues with your articles. I'm not the only one voting to delete them.
2. Maybe if you treated WP as an encyclopedia instead of a news source, this trouble would be avoided. You are complaining that JEM and Awa "will be notable" because the X Factor final will be over in a week. I don't know how much more clearly this needs to contravene WP:CRYSTAL for you to realize it is not appropriate.
3. We have very clear policies on notability for musicians. Winning a talent program is not among them, nor is the potential of winning the program a criterion. Furthermore, a contract is not notable, either. When a musician releases an album that meets the necessary requirements, at that point, the musician is notable, not before. MSJapan (talk) 21:16, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
1. It is not a vote.
2. If you feel that I have attacked you personally, then you take AfDs to personally and that is not a good sign.
3. We are of different opinions but it seems like you want me to not have my personal opinion. Which is not appreciated I am perfecly capable of making up my own mind. Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:51, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

you've done this in the past and unfortunately you're doing it again, you're voting mass keeps with such generic explanations as "meets WP:GNG" . It's obvious to me you're not even reading the articles or AfDs closely as you never give specifics and voted keep 7 times in 10 minutes all with generic vague arguments. please actually read the AfDs and make proper assessments. LibStar (talk) 11:10, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
thanks Red Pen, calling out a pattern behavior that is potentially not in the spirits of Wikipedia is quite acceptable. I'd assume good faith if this is the first occasion. but BabbaQ has been warned of this. LibStar (talk) 00:05, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
Babba, not oneof your keep votes in that 10 min spree made any specific reference to the article in question or gave examples of sources. how you can read and assess 7 articles in 10 minutes beats me. WP:AGF does not extend to long histories of voting sprees. LibStar (talk) 01:43, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
AfDs are for discussion and assessment of articles on merits. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that BabbaQ blindly votes keep, BabbaQ can vote constructively or continually look like a blind voter. Nice hoe you put words down my throat and suggest all articles be deleted. I never said that nor insinuated that. Pure fantasy in your part. Time to WP:CHILL.

Finally after so many postponements the Asiavision Song Contest starts in October. But they are not half doing things weirdly to what ESC does. Two festivals all on one day in the same venue - should be fun to watch. There is a Radio Song Festival and a TV Song Festival. But according to the rules a national broadcaster may send two participants. Iran have sent 4, as they have two broadcasters taking part (2 artists each). Anyhow I've wrote the article - ABU Song Festivals 2012 - enjoy! Wesley Mouse 20:01, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
Collapsed part of this AfD. At the moment it is my considered opinion it shows bias.

It is seen as best practice to put forward ideas to other members of the project before rushing ahead and acting on a potential falsifying action. If you feel an article may warrant a deletion, why not test the waters by opening a discussion on the article's talk page or our very own project talk page - before rushing off and submitting an AfD. It saves wasting time nominating an article for deletion which could end up with an overwhelming "keep" by other editors. Communicating with each other is a vital tool and a skill that may prove advantageous in real-life scenarios. Also be on the look out for potential new members to the project. Post ((subst:EurovisionInvite)) (which will produced this template) on any user page you think is interested to join the WikiProject, to officially invite them to join.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Miss Universe Japan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Oita (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I've just noticed that you've quit the Euro Project, how come? Saying that after today's fiasco I was on the verge of doing the same myself, but then had a second thought about it. Quitting means you're letting others defeat you, standing tall with your head up high and plodding along shows that you're a determined editor that doesn't let anything knock you down. I hope you reconsider the resignation at some stage in the near future, as your contributions and knowledge will be sadly missed. Wesley Mouse 22:20, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Bienvenue! Willkommen! Welcome! Please be warm-hearted in encouraging everyone to do their best to contribute to all Eurovision-related Wikipedia articles, and welcome our new members to the project. The past month has been an eventful one for the project as a whole. Old dramas have closed, new ones have begun. Four articles nominated for GA review, three of them passed and promoted, with one of them making ProjectEurovision history by being the first annual contest article to ever achieve GA status. If it wasn't for the hard work and the many hours of team collaborations that we have endured on this project, then those accolades would never have been gained. Each of those article promotions are as a result of your continuous determination to be part of the best team this project has seen for a long time. There is a teamwork barnstar with this newsletter for you to cherish and you may display the award on your pages if you wish. Now we look to the months ahead and start preparations for Malmo 2013, and see if we can work to getting another annual article to GA status. Here's to you - the team of excellence.
Happy editing! | ||||||

I'd say go for it. We have Disappearance of Suzy Lamplugh, Disappearance of Sarah MacDiarmid, Disappearance of Genette Tate and Disappearance of April Fabb to name a few. It looks like this particular case is the subject of a cold case review, and it has received some international coverage, so I can't see a problem with it personally.

Is the photograph I added to the Talk:The Graaf Sisters of the correct people?--Traveler100 (talk) 18:37, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
Please note that ((reqphoto)) template or needs-photo=yes in ((WikiProject Biography)) template achieves the same result as ((Image requested)). There is no need to add a duplicate. --Traveler100 (talk) 05:11, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
I can't help thinking it's a bit early to start something like this as she only disappeared a few days ago. Having said that, there is a lot of press coverage, and there's a substantial offer for information from one national newspaper so maybe it reaches the guidelines. Also I notice another editor added criticism of the BBC's coverage of this case. If that gets picked up by the media then that may also make it further notable. IMHO I think it is bad that the BBC has chosen to run the Olympics as its main headlines while sidelining everything else that's going on in the world, but I guess that's slightly off-topic. And ultimately, one can only hope she is found safe and well, and we've no need to expand this. Paul MacDermott (talk) 11:14, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
Actually, while I'm here what are your thoughts on an article about the Carole Waugh case. It's still early days but there's a lot of information coming out that could make for an interesting article. Paul MacDermott (talk) 11:21, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Eva Rausing requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi, Thanks for the comments on the Jo Yeates FA. I've just read through the McAreavey article. Seems fine so far, although I think the information needs reordering. The comments from the GAA president could be part of a reaction section along with those of her family and Kenny, for example. Also not sure details of the wake are strictly necessary - it's the sort of thing newspapers like to report, but I don't think it's encyclopedic content. You could ask for a peer review, as they're always very useful, particularly if you plan to take it to GA. I'm waiting to nominate Philip Smith for GA, but will be looking for another project afterwards, so could help with this. I haven't been following the case though, so would have to read up on it.
Apologies for not getting back to you on Marjorie Orbin. I did look for some more online content after you mentioned it to me, but there doesn't appear to be much out there. You've done a job with what's available though. Paul MacDermott (talk) 18:27, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
I really liked the way the article was edited. Another user also said me that while doing massive changes, at least, i should leave an edit summary, and that's what i did. I've been doing several works here in wikipedia, especially to this article because it needs a lot of improvement. This is not the first massive change i've done (i have tried too other major stuff like getting together the "career" and "personal life" category), and this is actually the first time i got satisfied by the way the article was edited. What i was going to do today was correct some mistakes. Right now, i don't like the intro, it looks heavy and does not necessarily say the esential things about her career or life. I honestly prefer the edition that i made. EricaL2003 (talk) 14:57, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
What was exactly what pissed you off about the latest "version" of the article?.EricaL2003 (talk) 15:06, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
On the principal of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", it's really not necessary to change "Image" to "File" in image descriptors. Both words work exactly the same, and there's no indication that "Image" is going to stop working anytime soon (and if it does, a bot can make the changes en masse). As it is, if you make that change, it causes the article to pop on on people's watchlists, and they have to take the time to check out what the change is, only to find a needless edit. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:50, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: With "friends" like Wesley Mouse, you're doomed. Listen to what I'm telling you, it'll be much more advantageous to your continued editing here. I didn't come here out of any animus toward you, and WM's attempt to make it appear so will not be helpful to you. Instead, please take my advice, and don't make unnecessary edits, because they just piss people off for no real purpose. Instead improve articles, that's the real reason we're here, isn't it? You want to make edits that make a difference, don't you? Beyond My Ken (talk) 08:01, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
Please refrain from making personal attacks towards editors. Telling me to "take a hike" and referring to me as "doomed" are attacking remarks and uncivil. Any further remarks, and I will have to escalate matters further. Wesley Mouse 08:26, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
Are you serious? have a little respect at least, you are starting to piss me off! and what the heck do you mean with the gossip thing? her net worth? her earnings? that's not gossip or anything like that! I'm tired of working my ass off in here. Do whatever you want to this article because i'm done. EricaL2003 (talk) 19:34, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
Hey Babba, I just wanted to drop by and see how you are these days? I'm busy preparing myself for Glasgow 2014, so as you can imagine life is pretty hectic right now. And now that Project Eurovision is a coordinator down for the newsletter, things are going to become even more manic. I might invest in a diary and log down schedules to do thing within an easier time-frame LOL. Wesley ☮ Mouse 18:50, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
OK here we go, a few image suggestions for you to have a glance at. Rick Scott is mentioned throughout the article quite a lot, and was the person who signed the death warrant for Chandler. His image File:Rick Scott official portrait.jpg may be a good inclusion. There is a reference to Courtney Campbell Causeway for which there is an image available File:CourtneyCampbell.jpg. On the execution section there are mentions to Pinellas County Court (File:Clearwater Pinellas cty crths03.jpg) and Florida Supreme Court (File:FlaSupremeCrtBldgFeb08.JPG). And finally we know that Chandler was executed at the Florida State Prison, there is an image available for one of the execution chambers File:Execution chamber, Florida.jpg. That's a few images to think over and decide if their inclusion would be beneficial to the article or if they would hold no prominence. Wesley ☮ Mouse 18:11, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
On 26 September 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Kristian Gidlund, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Kristian Gidlund played drums in the rock band Sugarplum Fairy until his death in 2013? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Kristian Gidlund. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
Gatoclass (talk) 05:48, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
BabbaQ, congratulations for Kristian Gidlund appearing in the DYK section today. And thanks for letting me know about the need for checking and cleaning up the article. The same had happened a little while back with Meral Tasbas. werldwayd (talk) 08:00, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello! Your submission of Hildegard Björck at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified.

I think I may have just taken upon myself the mother of all Project Eurovision tasks. The other day I was checking a few articles and noticed they were never given the project assessment banner. So I've decided to place burden on myself and start from ESC 1956 checking each and every article that is wikilinked, and update the talk page banners. I'm going to do this for all Eurovision, Junior Eurovision, OGAE, and subsequent articles related to Project Eurovision. According to the project assessment records there's just under 5,000 articles that have a banner, but there could be another 5,000-10,000 unregistered. I think that should keep me busy for the next 100 years LOL. Wesley Mᴥuse 22:00, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for keeping me updated on this. On another note I created an article about the spree killer Philip Smith yesterday that you might find interesting. I currently have access to HighBeam and found a huge feature from the Birmingham Evening Mail published on the day he was sent to prison. I've used it as the basis for the article, but am looking for free online sources to back up as much as I can. It could also do with a few images, I guess. Take a look anyway and let me know what you think. Paul MacDermott (talk) 16:12, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi BabbaQ, I noticed a comment you posted at Bleubeatle (talk · contribs) regarding the removal of PROD tag from Eldar and Nigar, in which you stated their individual articles should be deleted, as the pair are a duo act. I should point out that you are technically incorrect. Ell & Nikki are really solo artists, and where only forged together as a duo act for the sake of Eurovision. :To put it into context, take for example Ant & Dec. They are a duo (formerly pop singers, turned TV presenters), and have an article as a duo, but also have articles as solo people Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly. Therefore Eldar & Nigar would be fine as the duo article, while keeping Eldar Gasimov and Nigar Jamal as articles to show their individualities. Wesley☀Mouse 13:22, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
BabbaQ, I have had a word with Cooper, and think that there could be more to all of this then we actually think. In the past, I have noticed Bleubeatle's behavioural pattern being of a polite, quiet, caring editor. But recently that behaviour has done a 180-turn for the worse. Now either the user is going through some personal problems, or there really is a language barrier causing misunderstandings. Either way, I nominated myself to write a sincere letter to Bleu on his talk page. In that letter, I have suggested that the heated debate be cooled down by all sides, myself included, and checking to see if he would like all of the heated sections to be hidden from the general viewing eye (this can be done, and would't cause to much problems, as people may still see that part in the page history if they wish). If he agrees to this, then would you also be ok in hiding the heated sections, and then we can try and get the discussion back on the right cooperative track? P.S. Have you seen the ESC 2012 article? GA review is in progress and it is looking promising for the project to get its first ever GA-class on Eurovision by Year articles. If that does happen, then it would be a good argument to have Ell & Nikki separated from the song article too. Wesley☀Mouse 18:05, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
WikiProject Eurovision: This is a reminder to all members of Project Eurovision, that there is still an ongoing RfC discussion taking place at the project talk page. It is vital that everyone participates in this discussion, as it concerns the future manual of style and article layout in regards to Eurovision Song Contest by Year and Junior Eurovision Song Contest by Year articles. This is your ideal opportunity to contribute suggestions and ideas on a major issue, which will reflect on the way these articles will be written in future. Thank You!

Hi BabbaQ, With all the goings on with you know what, I thought you may like to have something else to have a gander at and take your mind off issues. As you know, the project newsletter was revived this month, and I am already in preparations of writing the next edition. I've done some tweaking improvements of style/layout of the newsletter to give it more appeal and "grab-ability" to everyone (my aim is to get project members hooked on the newsletter, and read with interest). Anyhow, would you be so kind and have a glance at the draft version, and let me know if there is anything else that could do with being included, or if there is something in there that isn't really needed. Thanks Wesley☀Mouse 14:04, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
That looks like it has potential to be expanded. I'll take a look in a day or two and see what I can find. While I'm here, do you know anyone at WP:CRIME who does copy editing? I'd like someone to go through my Philip Smith article before I put it forward to GAN, but it's been up at the Guild of Copy editors noticeboard for some weeks now without any takers.

Bienvenue! Willkommen! Welcome! Please be warm-hearted in encouraging everyone to do their best to contribute to all Eurovision-related Wikipedia articles, and welcome our new members to the project. It is easy for editors to get into conflict with each other, and things can get very nasty on the most trivial of issues, whether that be on the language of songs, the names of certain countries, or how we deal with incidents at the contest. In such circumstances it is worth remembering one thing: we are all here to build an encyclopedia, and the contribution of Eurovision to human knowledge can only be given justice if we work together and make articles, not drama!
Happy editing!

In connection to an ongoing debate on which items can appear on the front page under "In The News", "Recurring Items" are nominated events which require very little debate in the nomination process.
I propose the following amendment to the current ITN/R list. In addition I will put this on the talk page of as many editors as I can find who are contributors to ITN/C

hi, ive noticed you've been doing some very simple voting "keep passes WP:GNG" given previous concerns about your keep arguments I do wonder if you even read the AfD or the article in question or simply turn up and say "keep passes WP:GNG" with no thought. You recently did 4 keep votes in 3 minutes all with this same recycled reasoning. LibStar (talk) 04:32, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

On 21 March 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Gemma McCluskie, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the body of actress Gemma McCluskie, who played Kerry Skinner in the BBC soap opera EastEnders, was found in a London canal five days after she disappeared on 1 March 2012? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gemma McCluskie.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

I'll take a look, although it might be a few days before I can do anything. I should also add that I'm not familiar with the case so I'll need to read up on it. Paul MacDermott (talk) 15:34, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
I had a quick read this evening and it seems fine. One or two thing we could perhaps consider for a future FAC nomination might be to expand the lead as I'm not sure if everything in the main body is covered there, and remove some of the refs. But apart from that it seems to read well, and I see it passed a GA reassessment not long after the execution, so overall it seems to be fairly detailed and well organised. If you're thinking of an FA nomination it's definitely headed in the right direction. I'll read through it again when I get a chance and perhaps make a few adjustments.

A tag has been placed on Moa Lignell requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

WP:HARASSMENT has a specific definition. Any future claims of harassment that do not meet that definition can lead to a block. Your personal incivility and false accusations are merely escalating a situation, and cannot be condoned (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 15:39, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:
I was responding to personal attacks by the user Twatfots after trying to avoid further contact for a few days. The user continued to write about me to several users even after that. In the end I reacted to this [22], [23],[24] and I am the one being blocked for harassments, as you can see I tried to reason with the user and tried to make us move on from previous arguments. The user has been told by several users to move on but has continued to make a smear campaign against me. I wish to be unblocked and will not have any further contact with the user in question.
Decline reason:
See below. (Considering the full history of this issue, I think a 24 hour block is on the minimal side. There is certainly no question of reducing it.) JamesBWatson (talk) 17:22, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi BabbaQ, I thought I'd drop a few notes on your talk page with some help on writing articles :o)
First of all, it may be best for you to do a bit of reading, starting with the Wikipedia manual of style, which will give you a lot of information about how Wikipedia prefers its articles to be written. It's not as hard to follow as it might look; quite a bit of the information there probably won't be vital for you at first.
Second, I recommend you make a user sandbox - which is just an area you can use to practise in, and to make notes in, and to get things ready in. If you click this red link: user:BabbaQ/Sandbox, that will let you create that page (it gives you an edit window to start work in). Anything, anywhere, on the help and information pages which gives you an example, try it out in your sandbox until you're familiar with it.
For your article, the next thing you want to do is start collecting as much information as you can about it. Google searches (particularly in Books and Scholar) will be your best friend for this! Once you've found the information, the next most important thing is to start writing up each fact in your own words (very important, this), and make a note at the same time of exactly where that information came from. Build in the references as you go along; I'm going to copy in, down below this, a whole heap of help on doing references, which was produced by one of our best teachers (Chzz).
Here's another place that you'll find incredibly useful - citation templates which you can copy and paste into your sandbox, between <ref></ref> tags; you just fill in the blanks from your sources into the template, and you'll end up with nicely formatted inline citations :o) It all helps. Remember to add a references section to your sandbox (make a new line, and put ==References== on it, and type ((reflist)) on the next line, so that you can see how your citations look as you do them. Remember to save your page often! You don't want to lose your work.
Hopefully this will give you a good start and make life easier for you. Pesky (talk …stalk!) 08:32, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
These require two parts;
Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref>
== References == ((reflist))
(an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections)
To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:BabbaQ/reftest and try it out.
Chzz was born in 1837. <ref name=MyBook> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> Chzz lives in Footown.<ref name=MyBook/>
Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.
You can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;
Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> ((Citation | last = Smith | first = John | title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century | publication-date = 2001 | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]] | page = 125 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4 )) </ref>
Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.
For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.
Hi there BabbaQ! I've just come across one of your articles, and noticed that you had to create titles for your url links manually, or were using bare urls as references.
You might want to consider using this tool - it makes your life a whole heap easier, by filling in complete citation templates for your links. All you do is install the script on Special:MyPage/common.js, or or Special:MyPage/vector.js, then paste the bare url (without [...] brackets) between your <ref></ref> tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for pdf documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well. Happy editing!

I'm not the first person to raise with you and this probably the 4th or 5th time it's been raised regarding the quality of your voting. You almost always vote keep but almost never provide evidence of searches and state your explanation in very short sentence. In this Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cristina Siekavizza , I really wonder if you even looked at the article. The subject is about Guatemala but for some strange reason you mention coverage in Argentina? Did you actually search Argentinian press or merely blind voted?

Hi there, thank you for your contributions to The Human Centipede (First Sequence). When the article was first started in October 2009 is was but a tiny stub that was immediately tagged for deletion, but thanks to the efforts of wikipedia editors that tiny acorn has grown into a great oak tree of an article. The Human Centipede (First Sequence) is now a Featured Article and on the 17th June 2010 the article received its 1,000,000th page view! The article routinely receives over five thousand views a day and is in the top 1,000 most viewed Wikipedia articles!
On Halloween 2011, the article was the Main Page Featured Article!

I know you've been told this before but please take this in good faith - using keep arguments in XFD like 'GNG is met' [29] or 'Clearly notable' [30] are generally seen as unhelpful, remember that XFD is not a vote and that one well thought out argument can be worth a hundred one line comments. Please read WP:ATA.
The same goes for assertions that there is no reason for deletion, when there plainly is [31] [32] (respectively the reasons are that the article is a WP:HOAX and that it is non-notable).
Also please note that the essentially ad hom argument that the nominator is blocked/a sockpuppet/banned etc. ceases to apply when good faith editors have begun a legitimate discussion (especially when a good faith editor has seconded the nomination) per WP:SK. Please do bear this in mind or your xfd !votes are liable to be ignored. Thanks, Bob House 884 (talk) 12:02, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks for all the helpful edits you have contributed to The Human Centipede article, I thought I'd let you know that the article is currently a featured article candidate!
At the moment I'm trying my best to make positive changes to the article based upon the comments and suggestions on the article review, but any help with this would really be appreciated. The featured article review is here and if you have any spare time it would be really cool if you could have a look at the comments and help make sure the article is meeting the standards that are asked of a featured article. Plus if there's anything you think you can do to help improve the article, or anything important that it's missing, please do go ahead and make the changes!

I want to let you know that I have reverted your edits to Caylee Anthony homicide. After reviewing the changes to the article, it appears the new version is better than the one you reverted to. In addition, the article has been edited a number of times after the alleged vandalism. I also reviewed your concern that large sections of the article were removed; however, it appears the sections were incorporated into other parts of the article that provided better a flow. I understand your interest in reverting the Cameron Scott edits; however, ignoring the sockpuppet issues, the version that he created and was followed up by other's edits and appears to be a tighter version of the article. If you wish to revert the edits or remove the Cameron Scott edits, please get consensus onthe talkpage. If you have any questions, please let me know.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ttonyb (talk) 16:34, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi BabbaQ,
AFD isn't a battleground or a courtroom, that means that rather than being adversarial in nature (so you win by defeating people who disagree) its consensus based (so you 'win' by getting your opponents to agree with you). It's generally not a good idea to try to use policy to defeat peoples arguments, and instead you should probably try to politely address their concerns, for instance in the Alex Hilton Afd it may have been a better approach to respond to Tony's comments by giving him examples of substantial media coverage rather than attempting to dismiss them by quoting policy. That way, future voters would have been able to assess the evidence more effectively and Tony might even have been willing to change his mind. It also helps to keep good faith and stops you avoiding a charge of wikilawyering.
It might be worth reconsidering WP:GHITS as well. The arguments which the GHITS policy is supposed to prevent are ones which use GHITS as a sole or very significant determinate of notability. For example "X recieves 100,000 GHITS therefore it is/is not notable". Its fine to use it pragmatically or as a probable indicator of worth in relevant circumstances, we just have to avoid inferring this 'therefore' element of causation and trust in people's ability to use it properly (e.g. its a good yardstick for judging the notability of a primarily internet based commentator, but not very good for very specialised or non-internet things, such as an element of Roman culture. Its definately not as clear cut as you are trying to present it.

Hi, I've noticed that you've made a lot of contributions to discussions, at ITN and elsewhere, without providing much of a rationale for supporting/opposing/deleting/whatever. Consensus is based on the strength of the argument, not the number of people making it, so comments like "Support - big deal. itn" don't add much to the discussion. When admins judge consensus, we have to "weigh" !votes and very short comments with little rationale are weighted much less than a convincing argument that explains your viewpoint.

Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! 20:37, 13 April 2011 (UTC)Parkwells (talk) This needs more reliable, independent third-party sources to qualify as a notable person and article, and therefore to advance for the DYK. There is essentially only one source, the Napierville News, that is not written by the subject. There are no independent reviews of her books or coverage of her work, except a notice at the association website where she is on the board of directors. I've worked on editing the article to make the best use of material and add standard headers, but it needs sources. Parkwells (talk) 20:43, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

This will certainly not pass without the length issues, that have been repeatedly noted at T:TDYK, being addressed. I suggested one way in which this might be achieved 5 days ago, which you are of course free to disregard or modify.

Yes, the Henslee / Howarth case is a tough call as it is very new. As an arrest has already been made, I would wait and see if the case is still in the news after a few weeks. I think you were lucky with the Joanna Yeates case as even I was surprised by the amount of attention it received by the media. The Carlina White case that you had mentioned to me had no notability problems as it is an older case that had only recently been solved. That is why I often bring up WP:PERSISTENCE for judging "news" cases. By waiting, there is the possibility that another editor may start such an article, but if an AfD is raised, then it is that editor's headache. I have also been working on 2011 Tucson shooting, in which notability was established immediately because notable people (who already had articles here) were involved. KimChee (talk) 19:43, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
No problem, Gimmebot is functioning normally, though the talk headers did need some cleaning up. Once an article becomes GA (or FA) the DYK and AfD information becomes buried under "Article milestones". If you think about it, those past milestones are trivial in comparison to the accomplishment of getting an article to pass a GA review. KimChee (talk) 12:14, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

If an article is not new (less than 5 days old), then the expanded prose (text minus headers, captions, infoboxes, tables, etc.) of the rewritten article must be 5x longer to qualify for DYK. For biographical articles that previously lacked references or citations, the article must be expanded 2x to qualify. All other rules are the same (i.e. work must have been done within the last 5 days). I hope this answers your question. KimChee (talk) 00:18, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

The section you keep restoring is a pro-SD segment from Björn Söder, who attacks Malmö and its population on a daily basis, stating that the people of Malmö should live in fear of the shooter without the media reporting on the shootings. And since the Wikipedia editing page states that users should "maintain a neutral, unbiased point of view", there is no point in adding Söder's pro-SD talking point in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.102.150.186 (talk) 20:21, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Eldar Gasımov requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Hi again I have just started to read about a very interesting and notable crime case from Australia in the 1890 its about Sarah and John Makin who murdered infants that they had been paid to look after from young women who couldnt take care of them. According to the text it was because of this case that legislations about childcare was changed in Australia so it has had an effect on the country politically and socially. So I was wondering if you would like to make atleast a stub about the case in question, if you have the time. Some sites about the case is found here and here.

Im not saying I will , but If I was to nominate the Oba Chandler article for FA do you think it stands a reasonable chance of being Supported for it?. I personally find that the overall prose,length and sourcing are up to FA standards and when looking trough the arguments for not promoting it in an earlier FA nomination, the problems raised that time has been taken care of since. But I dont know maybe im bias because I personally find the article very good.Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:28, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Just by way of an FYI ... you may have felt LibStar's comment to you to be insulting, but LibStar has a point - your vote on the Clemente AfD shows a startling lack of knowledge on how the AfD process works, and some of your votes in other AfDs more of the same. I urge you to familiarize yourself with the standard notability and inclusion criteria, as well as deletion policy and the accompanying guide to deletion, before participating in further AfDs. One consequence of not doing so is likely what you're finding in LibStar's comment: that people will discount your opinion as uninformed, and your arguments will carry little or no weight in future AfDs.

You should try to take that into account in that AfD. You have responded way too many votes, and as far as it seems, it is not going to change anything. Everyone has the right to vow their opinion, you shouldn't be trying to push them to think the way you do, because that is impossible. What seems funny to me, is that you pointed this very same 'policy' to Libstar in the Mike Clemente AfD, and you weren't able to respond what he actually wanted. Please, stop doing that.

On 11 January 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Cornelius Dupree, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that Cornelius Dupree was cleared by DNA profiling of committing a robbery for which he served 30 years in prison, longer than any other exonerated inmate in Texas? If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I am glad to be reviewing the article Death of Linda Norgrove you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria.

Some of us try hard to ensure that items of interest that is specific or limited to the US or UK, or other English speaking nations, or the perspective of these nations on global news events is not given undue weight. This is acheived by trying to have a world view, not by trying to promote items/perspectives that are specific to Sweden or other nordic countries. Please consider your proposals carefully. Kevin McE (talk) 20:40, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
My apologies, I've inlcuded the reasons for the deletion. The section had nothing to do with the subject of the article, and its inclusion was questionable. If noteworthy, it deserves its own article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.125.137.194 (talk) 16:43, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Great, thanks for the nomination ;) --Erixson (talk) 09:35, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
De facto Stepanakert is a part of Nagorno-Karabakh but de jure it is a part of Azerbaijan. I don't discuss his heritage where he is from but Nagorno-Karabakh is not recognized by any country or the United Nations. The right term here to use is the de jure form!

I noticed the GA review is being held up on concerns of coverage. I have been through this process a few times; do you mind if I work with you on this? KimChee (talk) 04:23, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
When you are done with the Teresa Lewis edits you could perhaps take a look at the Oba Chandler article that I found very interesting. However some references seems to have been URL not found since put there. Perhaps you could check it out and help improving the already GA standard article without removing the information already there, perhaps finding sources to be put in malfunctioneds ones place. You can try if you have the time. Like your work. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:31, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
I noticed that you added one more vote of support right before my FA nomination was promoted, so you get this:
KimChee (talk) has given you a WikiCake! WikiCakes promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a cake, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Bon appetit!
Spread the tastiness of cakes by adding ((subst:GiveCake)) to their talk page with a friendly message.
On 26 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Cheshire, Connecticut, home invasion murders, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the 2007 home invasion murders in Cheshire, Connecticut, have been called "possibly the most widely publicized crime in the state's history"? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

The article Jade Ewen you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Jade Ewen for reasons why the nomination failed.

The article Death of Jenni-Lyn Watson has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:36, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

The article Benny Haag has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the ((prod blp)) tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Derild4921☼ 20:44, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Keep the original source of Miss US World. The websites you are posting took the information from the original source. Thanks!
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Steven Hayes (criminal), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1314418/Steven-Hayes-Chilling-confession-Connecticut-massacre-killer.html.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

A tag has been placed on Linda Norgrove requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. - 220.101 talk\Contribs 08:31, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I noted that your comment here was your tenth keep vote in less than 20 minutes,[37] giving you two minutes to evaluate each discussion. I don't think this is enough time to properly evaluate an article and the sources. Your arguments also were not particularly compelling, most of which are from the Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions page. Christopher Connor (talk) 21:17, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
Would you be willing to provide more information on the basis of your Strong Keep !vote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Helen De Cesare?

Hi. Thanks for nominating the article for GA. Unfortunately I don't believe at this stage it is ready for the process as there is still much work to be done on it. The case is ongoing and the article's length is fairly short for a GA. My advice would be to withdraw it, do some more work, expand it and wait for further events to develop, then perhaps nominate it again in six months or so. A good idea in the meantime might be to request a peer review as this is always a useful way of getting feedback and deciding in which direction an article should go. You might also want to take a look at some similar articles which are currently GAs as these will give you some good guidelines on the type of information which should be included in the Sian O'Callaghan article.

BabbaQ, prior to your block I recommended that you take a close read of WP:AADD. i note you're back again simply voting "keep per person X" or similar. it appears to me that you may not be reading the actual article for deletion. please make an effort to make a decent argument rather than blindly voting keep because you like it.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Tala Raassi is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tala Raassi until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Divide et Impera (talk) 02:17, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
I don't know if you caught my earlier suggestions, but I'd like to ask once again that you check out Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. I'm sure you make your points out of good faith, but you should know it adds nothing, and in fact really just distracts from the discussion, when your vote rationale is along the lines of "sources exist" or "simply notable".--Yaksar (let's chat) 02:15, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
