Speedy deletion nomination of Outer-grazer

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Outer-grazer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

No verifiable sources; there is no instance where astronomers have ever used the term "outer-grazer" in publications (see ADS search results). The definition of "outer-grazer" described in this article better fits with Aten asteroid and AmorApollo asteroid

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Atens and Apollos

[edit]

I have reverted a couple of your good faith, recent edits (specifically, here and here) because, as presented fairly clearly in the respective articles, they were incorrect descriptors of the objects. I also note that the ambiguous, and potentially inaccurate (e.g., orbits with high inclination), term of "grazer" (or variants thereof) was used. I have created this note here so you could better understand my rationale for those reversions, as subject line explanations can sometimes be a bit terse. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 14:05, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's true only because the Aten/Apollo definitions don't specify the other bound on the aphelion/perihelion, so some members of either family may be outright crossers. It's just a different nomenclature. Urhixidur (talk) 17:32, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Helon

[edit]
Notice

The article Helon has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A collection of spurious connections. A complete mess that nobody is ever going to—nor should attempt to—clean up. Family DNA, the Bible, a fictious travelogue, botany, Scythians...

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 09:00, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – June 2023

[edit]

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

Guideline and policy news

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

Technical news

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

Arbitration

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

Requesting GAN for Phobos (moon) and Deimos (moon)

Can you nominate the articles Phobos (moon) and Deimos (moon) to a good/featured article? I'm trying to get all planets and major moons featured articles. It is alright if you decline the request. Thank you. TheBigBookOfNaturalScience 📖 (💬/📜) 04:37, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you nominate them yourself? Urhixidur (talk) 14:21, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – September 2023

[edit]

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

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
  • A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that [s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment.

Technical news

Arbitration

  • The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged to note when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful.

Miscellaneous

  • Tech tip: The "Browse history interactively" banner shown at the top of Special:Diff can be used to easily look through a history, assemble composite diffs, or find out what archive something wound up in.
