Page Reviews

Just wanted to say many thanks for the page reviews. Hoping to do some more Irish lifeboat stations over the coming weeks if I can obtain the material. Meanwhile, checkout List of former RNLI stations if you're interested. Whole section of Ireland stations. MartinOjsyork (talk) 19:59, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome Ojsyork, Well done with the article so far - lots of red linked potential articles on that list page to keep you going for a few days!! Josey Wales^Parley 20:43, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for Crystal Nights

Good evening! Could you tell me, which sources for "Crystal Nights" you think might not be reliable and why, so I can replace them? Samuel Adrian Antz (talk) 21:30, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Samuel Adrian Antz Please see the screenshot below of how the reviewers see the references, the ones that are highlighted in red are considered unreliable. Many thanks for your contributions Josey Wales^Parley 21:42, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Joseywales1961 Thank you very much! I'm a bit surprised as I've already used all three of those references for other articles, for example that for Egan's other short story "Dark Integers". (Of course, if that also needs a tag, feel free to add one.) I can go over them as well. Is the Internet Speculative Fiction Database really not considered appropriate as a reference? Samuel Adrian Antz (talk) 21:48, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Samuel Adrian Antz These references are usually discussed at WP:RSP and WP:Deprecated sources, if they are listed there then there is consensus that they would be mostly unreliable (the one you mention is probably highlighted because anyone can edit that database). Of course it would be best to use other sources where possible on this and any of the other articles you mention. Many thanks Josey Wales^Parley 22:00, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dr. Amita Dev

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 Dr. Amita Dev, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. jellyfish ✉ 17:49, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jellyfish It's a page move by me, removing honorifics, please notify creator re spam G11 etc., Josey Wales^Parley 17:53, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, page creator was notified when I tagged the previous article. Hadn't realized it was another person who moved it, please disregard this. Thank you, and sorry again! jellyfish ✉ 17:56, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problems, happens all the time when 2 people look at the same dodgy articles at the same time :) Josey Wales^Parley 17:58, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024–25 Kenyan Premier League maintenance message

Hi. Thank you for your review of the 2024–25 Kenyan Premier League page. I apologize I was too caught up in life that I unintentionally left the season table uncleaned and populated with the previous season data. May I humbly ask you to review it again?

Administrator Elections: Call for Candidates

Administrator Elections | Call for Candidates

The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Call for candidates.

Here is the schedule:

October 8–14 - Candidate sign-up (we are here)
October 22–24 - Discussion phase
October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
Prospective candidates are advised to become familar with the community's expectations of adminstrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
The process will have a one week call for candidates phase, a one week pause to set up SecurePoll, a three-day period of public discussion, followed by 7 days of no public discussion and a private vote using SecurePoll.
The outcomes of this process are identical to making requests for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA or administrator elections.
Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.

Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. A separate user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

To avoid sending too many messages, this will be the last mass message sent about administrator elections. If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

You're receiving this message because you signed up for the mailing list. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the list.
