Congo (area)

Hello. I suppose you didn't mean to create Congo (area) as a spin off of Congo (which now functions as a disambiguation page). I had therefore taken very the first steps to convert it into an article for a geographical region, following existing examples on other geographical regions. 218.250.159.42 (talk) 19:51, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

I have responded on your talk page werldwayd (talk) 04:14, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
[1] You comment that you have "taken very the first steps to convert it into an article for a geographical region, following existing examples on other geographical regions". I understand that. But actually the reason for me creating Congo (area) was not to develop a long article nor to duplicate the Congo and Congo (disambiguation). I usually create many pages for artists of Congolese origin working in Europe (France elsewhere) but without us knowing precisely from which specific Congo they originate from. Forwarding them to Congo will give huge choices that are unhelpful. So Congo (area) was created to reduce choices to just two. So when we don't know an artist or another person's precise country of origin, we can link him to Congo (area) as if being able to say he is from Congo but without the need to specify which Congo. What you are trying to do is to expand the concept into describing a "historical" African Congo before the European occupation arose and present day borders drawn. This historical Congo area concept might include even areas beyond the two specific republics into areas that were historically Congolese but now geographically in other African states like Portuguese Congo, or say during Kingdom of Kongo (1400–1914), covering parts of present-day Angola and the two Congo states and Kongo dia Nlaza (until late in the 16th century), a former kingdom absorbed by the Kingdom of Kongo. It is a legitimate effort actually, and very important concept. But probably that aspect might have been already covered in Wikipedia anyway. Still Wikipedia is a free space and all are welcome to add materials. But it kind of defeats the purpose to create it in Congo (area). I would suggest opening another page entitled Historical Congo and start from there. Just a thought werldwayd (talk) 04:12, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
That's logical, since both Congos are French-speaking countries. But I believe the proper way forward is to figure out the actual origin of these people. In case they're having ancestry from both Congos or their ancestry predates the colonisation of the Congos, the Congo (area) article would probably be good enough. Furthermore, I don't think the geographical region is a historical one. The Kongo people in different countries, for instance, are the same people and have the same native language. It is still one cultural region regardless of the political borders. 218.250.159.42 (talk) 10:24, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
That's precisely why I created the page. Cabonda was a good addition to this. I don't know if there are other "Congo" areas as well to add. Regarding you editing anonymously, and just for accountability, its much better for majour edits to be done by contributors who sign with an ID. werldwayd (talk) 14:50, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Marcus Collins

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 Marcus Collins 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 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. AKS (talk) 05:11, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

List of number-one hits of 2012 (Turkey)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of List of number-one hits of 2012 (Turkey), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: List of number-one hits of 2011 (Turkey). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

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. CorenSearchBot (talk) 08:10, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Harout Chitilian

I declined a speedy nomination for Harout Chitilian, but you need to bolster the evidence for notability if this bio is to survive a likely AfD. Fences&Windows 03:14, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Christian Azzi

The article Christian Azzi has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the 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. The-Pope (talk) 16:30, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm unable to find that she charted on the Swedish charts. The link you provided doesn't show it... atleast that I can see. Could you provide a better reference? Bgwhite (talk) 00:47, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the explanation. I couldn't find anything and was about to do a Prod, but saw you were the creating editor. I was thinking that no good %#(*$!? wonderful Werldwayd had put the wrong reference down. :) Bgwhite (talk) 06:04, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

inre this discussion

I do appreciate that as the verifiable directorial debut of a notable person, this article meets a criteria of WP:NF... but I ask that you take a look at this edit and consider that a redirect is pretty much okay for now just so long as there is no prejudice toward a recreation of the article if/when more sources become available AND as long as the returned article be properly sourced and maintain a properly neutral tone.

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

A tag has been placed on Tal (singer) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Removing Speedy at Tal (singer)

Hi Werldwayd, you recently removed a deletion tag from Tal (singer). Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove speedy deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the tag. Although the deletion proposal may be incorrect, removing the tag is not the correct way for you to contest the deletion, even if you are more experienced than the nominator. Instead, please use the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. Remember to be patient, there is no harm in waiting for another experienced user to review the deletion and judge what the right course of action is. As you are involved, and therefore potentially biased, you should refrain from doing this yourself. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 00:38, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Tal (singer). If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 01:31, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

You really should pay attention to these notices. The addition of a claim that she had a charting single in France is sufficient to clear A7, and I think any admin would have accepted the explanation on the talk page. All getting into an edit war with SDPatrolBot does is make you unnecessarily run the risk of getting blocked.—Kww(talk) 02:28, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

A little help

Hi Werldwayd,

I'm a frequent contributor of the Spanish Wikipedia. I translate the article Muisca raft from Spanish. Can you please read that little article and correct all possible mistakes?

Thanks a lot in advance, have a nice day. --Baiji (talk) 14:43, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your trust in asking for a review of the article Muisca raft. What you contributed was very sound and with very good English actually. I have made some symbolic changes (very few actually were needed) and added some references and categories as well. See more extensive note on your talk page. werldwayd (talk) 16:48, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
Many thanks Werldwayd, I will review your articles in Spanish Wikipedia. Regards, --Baiji (talk) 00:04, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Tricia Walsh-Smith

Dear Werldwayd, I hope you are well. You strike me as a very responsible, sensible and experienced Wikipedia editor. You have done wonders with the Maher Zain pages. Can I please ask you to take a look at a concerning page (even though it is probably not one you would ordinarily have any interest in). I am a bit concerned about the bio page on Tricia Walsh-Smith. One user who calls herself Fruitinlondon claims actually to be Tricia Walsh-Smith, the subject of the page. On the talk page I have encouraged this user to treat the BLP page with great care and to comply with Wikipedia Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons guidelines. I have drawn this person's attention to our need to be very careful with verifiability, neutrality, and avoiding original research. In my opinion, this person has recklessly edited this page at times. I will be very grateful if you will please have a look at this person's edits, as well as my thorough advice to him or her on the Tricia Walsh-Smith talk page. I've never had the experience before of dealing with an editor who claims to be the subject of the article. Have you? I want to be scrupulously fair and reasonable, whilst maintaining standards. Please offer me and / or the user any advice or guidance that will help to keep the page neutral, factual and scrupulously verified. Thank you for your time. Best wishes.GorgeCustersSabre (talk) 00:27, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Thomas Hardy

I noticed that you recently changed the Thomas Hardy page into a dab, redirecting the famous writer's page to Thomas Hardy (writer). Thomas Hardy the writer gets 50000 views per month while none of the other pages on the new dab get even 1000. It seems like a strange thing to do to make 50000 people per month search a dab page to get to the Thomas Hardy writer page. INeverCry 22:35, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

I've reverted the move. This would require discussion first. --JaGatalk 22:40, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
Actually I am ok for reversal back to earlier set-up without discussion as now I am convinced the novelist has such notability that it deserves to be the main page werldwayd (talk) 22:41, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
I hope you don't mind my making a quick suggestion. Before making a big move like this I would check the page views of the main article and the number of links to the main article. Thomas Hardy, for instance, links to more than 1500 other pages. Thanks for being understanding about this. INeverCry 23:10, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Cheyenne-jackson-amfar-reuters.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Cheyenne-jackson-amfar-reuters.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 10:38, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Eldar & Nigar

The article Eldar & Nigar has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lyrik

I came across this article today as I was adding listas to talk page. It had a ref, but the domain of the ref is for sale. I wasn't able to find a good reference, but it is a common name. I was about to do a Prod or AfD, but I saw you <insert evil laugh> created the article. Could you find a ref for it? Bgwhite (talk) 22:44, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. If I remember an editor, I try to give a heads up. Of course, I often forget to remember. Bgwhite (talk) 05:55, 10 June 2012 (UTC)


Ki Fitzgerald‎

I want to do an Afd on him, but I thought I'd get your opinion first. You are more into music than I am. I'm unable to find that he has released any albums. He has co-written some songs. The Jonas Brother's song list five songwriters. I can find plenty of refs of him suing is old band, Busted, for money. He left the band before any albums and Busted hit it big after he left. His claims were he wrote some of the songs. But, he lost the case. He also goes by the name of Ki McPhail. Out of my last 100 Afd's I submitted, only 3 were kept and they were singers. So, I have a problem with them. Bgwhite (talk) 06:20, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Hatnotes

Hi Werldwayd. You recently added hatnotes to Next to Me (album) and Irma (name), among others. Please keep a couple of things in mind when adding those: Please use a template listed at WP:Hatnote and place them at the very top of an article per WP:HNP. Secondly, do not add hatnotes to articles with names that are not ambiguous unless there is a very good reason, see WP:NAMB. And last but not least always observe WP:HOWTODAB when linking to a disambiguation page, otherwise someone needs to fix those links. If you have questions or need help with the templates drop me a note. Cheers LittleWink (talk) 18:37, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:City-of-lights-kareem-salama.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:City-of-lights-kareem-salama.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:11, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


Some random guy moved the Syrian uprising article

...to civil war in spite of no consensus. I want an admin to close the debate. I am complaining and hope you will too. Tradedia (talk) 02:39, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Excuse me, i was moved the article, but only by opinion of the United Nations. Doncsecztalk 06:18, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
The opinion of the United Nations is not personal. Accordingly, the moving is legal. Doncsecztalk 06:28, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
Moreover, it is explicitly a civil war. The blind can see. Doncsecztalk 06:32, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
The opinion is not subjective, as the case did not improve in Syria. The UN-General is military expert and very familiar with the situation. Not accidentally says that this is a civil war. Doncsecztalk 06:36, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

I have gone ahead and asked for an admin to intervene, see: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Syrian Civil War (2011–present). Changing the title of the infobox and the first sentence isnt going to help here if the title remains the same but only cause confusion to readers. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:52, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

I would just wait for an admin to close the discussion before going at it with the other editor's POV if both sides here have a truce and an admin closes teh discussion with a final say then we can go from there. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:13, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your help and very well written arguments. Tradedia (talk) 01:50, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Title

I saw your comment on Tradedia's profile and also the one on the admin noticeboard, while I do agree that the norm is to keep the title Uprising, changing it back now from Civil war will only add to the chaos, nobody is getting their way here as the admin closing the discussion has the final say and can see that the title was changed before the move request could be closed. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:59, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Mokobé. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:13, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Luka

What happened here? On looking at the article, I found that the one reference you had for a chart didn't match the actual data from the source, and the remaining charts (Portugal and Brazil) listed charts that are listed on WP:BADCHARTS. I've corrected it, but you are usually a much better editor than this. Did you use the Portuguese Wikipedia as a source?—Kww(talk) 17:56, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

The Billboard Brasil chart is quite acceptable, as are the raw Crowley Broadcasting Services charts, both of which are of Brazilian origin. That's documented on WP:GOODCHARTS. There are a number of countries with no acceptable singles charts, and Portugal is unfortunately one of them. I wish there was a good way to avoid the bias, but it's a matter of finding reliable sources. My life becomes easier every time someone finds a reliable chart for the countries that don't have them.
I do have problems with the idea that you brought data in from the Portuguese Wikipedia and didn't independently verify the chart positions contained in it and provide references. Please don't do that: it's great to use a foreign language Wiki as a starting point, but the data in it is just as subsceptible to vandalism as it is here: it can't be trusted without verification.—Kww(talk) 19:20, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
Just as a followup, the rule of thumb for a chart winding up on WP:BADCHARTS is that is a single-station/single-network/single-vendor chart or that no one can find a trace of reliable coverage of it. All it takes for me to take it off of WP:BADCHARTS is that someone can demonstrate that it gets some level of press coverage (local press is just fine) and that it isn't single-vendor. Getting on WP:GOODCHARTS usually requires that someone can point at a stable archive of the chart. There are a lot of charts that are acceptable for use (Monitor Latino, for example) that require manual archiving: those aren't listed on WP:GOODCHARTS, but they don't show up on WP:BADCHARTS either. Other editors may add and remove charts for slightly different reasons, but I'm probably the most influential editor on these two guidelines. I'm sensitive to the kind of issues you are talking about, and do my best to make sure the guidelines are as liberal as they can be without violating WP:RS.—Kww(talk) 19:37, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk pages

I noticed some errors on the the talk pages of musicians that you have created, such as Max Boublil.

First, there is no need to put WikiProjectBannerShell when only two banners are present.

Second, there is no "priority" parameter in WikiProject Biography. It has been replaced with work groups, such as musician-work-group=yes & musician-priority=low. Others are a&e-work-group=yes, filmbio-work-group=yes, politician-work-group=yes, sports-work-group=yes, and a&e-work-group=yes. Bgwhite (talk) 07:46, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Sirius XM Hits 1

Regarding your deletion of the weekly countdowns on Sirius XM Hits 1. In this case, it's not the fact they were deleted that I have a problem with, it's your reason of "copyright infringement" that I fail to understand. First of all, the full weekly charts are published here at Sirius XM Hits 1's web page: http://www.siriusxm.com/hits1 , so obviously the website wants to make the countdowns accessible. Second of all, weekly charts are replicated on music forums all over the internet every week, such as here and here, if that was a copyright infringement don't you think those would have been shut down and warned by now? And finally I've requested semi-protection for the Sirius XM Hits 1 page twice I believe, both times the countdowns were there, and both times I was given semi-protection, if the countdowns were truly a copyright infringement don't you think the admin would have done something about it before semi-protecting the article? I won't undo your edit yet, but I am posting here because I need your reason explained further. MuSiClOvEr (talk) 15:59, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Nicco

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

Notability issues, unreliable references

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.

Proposed deletion of Justin Herwick

The article Justin Herwick has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the 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. Dismas|(talk) 03:35, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Top 50 Charts are not acceptable SNEP charts

Hello. Many thanks for your contributions both in English Wikipedia and in French Wikipedia. I noticed that for French chart positions, you are using the chart published in Premiere called Top 50 (MCM charts). http://musique.premiere.fr/TOP-50 This chart is not an official chart, is not based on actual sales and often gives much higher positions to singles. You are doing so while keeping the SNEP titles which is very misleading and incorrect. What we consistently should use are the "official" SNEP charts that are based on actual physical sales and downloads. Three locations for this and all identical: SNEP/Disque en France (main source) This week's chart is here: http://www.disqueenfrance.com/fr/page-256084.xml .. Just a couple of days later, the same chart is reproduced at Charts in France at http://www.chartsinfrance.net/charts/singles.php and finally with a delay of about a week at most times at http://www.lescharts.com/ For English Wikipedia positions please abide only by these three and don't use the Top 50 or Airplay charts or whatever... For French Wikipedia, I know many charts are being used on various pages (though I think clearly SNEP charts should be uses), but in any case, if you use Premier Top 50 charts, please don't keep them as "SNEP" positions, but change the description to clearly say Top 50 not only in the reference but in the main text too. For French Zumba He Zumba Ha, I have already made the distinction, reinstating also the SNEP position which is 27 whereas Top 50 says #13. A very good example of how "inflated" and unreliable Premiere Top 50 figures are is in Khaled's classification. Premiere says he is #2, whereas actual Khaled classification according to SNEP this week is just #17 If you have changed other SNEP positions based on this Top 50 in English Wikipedia, please revert to original SNEP positions according to the three charts as indicated and from now on please don't replace them with Premiere Top 50 MCM positions.

Hello again. I have added a few sources to this page. Do you know what we have to do about the tags at the top?

United Gay Network

I'll try, but honestly, there isn't a lot on Akers' film company outside of the primary source (the website). I was going to suggest to you that we take that whole section out, and furthermore, can we trim down the "careers" section? A lot of it is hard to reference using secondary sources, and it kind of reads like his official website bio and the program bios at the film festivals, which doesn't seem very encyclopedic. --Schmichaelira 14:40, 11 August 2012 (UTC)Bu

I used my sandbox to add to the UGN part of Michael Akers article and still had to do many edits before I got it right. I think I will work on it later, to add info about some of their other projects, like the Ali Forney Center documentaries that Akers worked on last year. But for now, what do you think? --Schmichaelira 16:45, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks for taking the initiative on making an article for Morgan (film). I appreciate the wikifying you've done too.

Alex Papaconstantinou

Hey, I saw you are a fan of Alex Papaconstantinou as you originally created his page. I recently added a more detailed selected production discography table to his page. Some more info needs to be filled in, especially some of his earlier work. I have a feeling he did more with Antique, but I am unable to find album liners online to confirm. If you know of any other songs he is credited on, please feel free to add them. Greekboy (talk) 17:38, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

I knew Alex Papaconstantinou's work through Sarbel and Cameron Cartio and of course I saw Anna Vissi live in Cyprus and she was awesome. Alex has written so many of Anna Vissi's songs and she is a great artist. He also had great songs for Elena Paparizou and I just adore Paparizou in everything she did with Antique and solo. I too feel that Papaconstantinou did far more with Antique than these two songs, but the problewm is that discogs.com album pages mention only the Antique song titles but not the full credits in their albums like Opa Opa, Die for You, Alli Mia Fora and Blue Love, whereaas for other artists, many carry names of the writers, composers and the producers, even the musicians playing. It is also strange that Alex doesn't even have a page in Greek Wikipedia which is a shame. That needs to be fixed by an editor who knows Greek. Here [2] is a great reference for his works that can be used as well. werldwayd (talk) 19:22, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the tips. I managed to get a hold of the album liners for Antique and filled in some information. There seems to be a bit of an anomaly with the Discogs source though. It lists him as a writer and producer for "Follow Me" and "Ligo Ligo", yet the album liners only list him as a writer. I guess we should go with the liners in this case. Also do you happen to know what he did with Stephen Simmonds? I can't seem to find any info, other than the fact that he worked on an album with him. Thanks again. Greekboy (talk) 04:17, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
This is the reference about his collaboration with Alex http://www.stephensimmonds.com/biography.php where he says in the biography: "To achieve this, Stephen [Simmonds] has worked with the young, up and coming Swedish producer Alex Papakonstantinou and with..." As this is not as essential a music relation as the others mentioned, I took the name out. Anyway it was a nice opportunity to get to know Stephen's beautiful music, but no need to mention him on the Alex page. Instead I have added Sarbel for whom he wrote many songs including Sarbel's Eurovision song Yassoo Maria, but also Mi Chica and others. werldwayd (talk) 06:17, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
I feel like a talk page stalker... Anyway I'm glad those scans of Antique's albums and singles I sent you worked Greekboy. I have scans for all of Vissi's albums and singles through maybe 2009 that I can send later. I might have the Paparizou ones as well. Werldwayd, if you are interested, I can send them to you also. Grk1011 (talk) 15:10, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
Actually this search for credits started as we were speculating that Alex Papaconstantinou had written far more songs for Antique than the ones shown on his page. Diiscogs also mentioned very few songs which was strange. So your work is very much appreciated to be able to expand the list of credits for this talented artist songwriter, producer. His effect goes far beyond just Greek singers as is clear. I also wondered whatever happened to Nikos Panagiotidis of Antique. Did he continue or he just stopped. I just loved his part in the Antique songs so much... and if he did continue singing, then we need to have a page for him as well in Wikipedia. In that sense, I'd love to have the full credits as well You can use my e-mail which is werldwayd at yahoo dot com werldwayd (talk) 20:50, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Mike "2of5" Martin Page

Hi I was told by Bgwhite to contact you in regards to getting help on creating music pages for artists. I created the page on behalf of Mike but it required citations. It was marked for a Speedy Deletion but I was able to provide any proof needed as I had Mike's Permission to make the page and he said If he can do anything to help with citations etc then he would. I figured Instead of just keep creating the page and have it taking down for speedy deletion every time, I save efforts and talk to you as Bgwhite said you are the expert on music pages etc.

So if you can help me it would be a great help as I'm new to page creation on wikipedia and I need to know all I can to avoid all the "red tape" as such in the future.

If you could get back to me at your earliest convenience that would be great as i'd like to get the ball rolling as such and get the page back up and running properly this time.

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
Thanks for fleshing out the list of Caucasian Albanian Catholicoi! Dechrwr (talk) 04:54, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Anna Bergendahl (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)
added a link pointing to Something to Believe In
Zifou (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)
added a link pointing to Sedan

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:44, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

This is not a newsletter

This is just a tribute.

Anyway. You're getting this note because you've participated in discussion and/or asked for updates to either the Article Feedback Tool or Page Curation. This isn't about either of those things, I'm afraid ;p. We've recently started working on yet another project: Echo, a notifications system to augment the watchlist. There's not much information at the moment, because we're still working out the scope and the concepts, but if you're interested in further updates you can sign up here.

In addition, we'll be holding an office hours session at 21:00 UTC on Wednesday, 14 November in #wikimedia-office - hope to see you all there :). I appreciate it's an annoying time for non-Europeans: if you're interested in chatting about the project but can't make it, give me a shout and I can set up another session if there's enough interest in one particular timezone or a skype call if there isn't. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 11:29, 10 November 2012 (UTC)


Proposed deletion of Shefali Alvares

The article Shefali Alvares has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the 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. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 21:12, 29 September 2012 (UTC)


Nomination of JR Aquino for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article JR Aquino 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/JR Aquino 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. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:55, 30 September 2012 (UTC)


Mohammed Mushaima

Hello, Werldwayd, and thank you for your contributions!

An article you worked on Mohammed Mushaima, appears to be directly copied from http://presstv.com/detail/2012/10/02/264609/jailed-bahraini-activist-dies-in-custody/default.html. Please take a minute to make sure that the text is freely licensed and properly attributed as a reference, otherwise the article may be deleted.

It's entirely possible that this bot made a mistake, so please feel free to remove this notice and the tag it placed on Mohammed Mushaima if necessary. MadmanBot (talk) 18:50, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Cody Collins listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Cody Collins. Since you had some involvement with the Cody Collins redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so).

CPDRC dancers

I've made a bunch of edits to the CPDRC page (the Cebu dancing inmates), including adding a table for the songs; was wondering if the page should be renamed to CPDRC dancers (plus related aliases), considering there is almost no information on the prison facility or its operations? AngusWOOF (talk) 01:00, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Added a reply on my talk page to your query on whether Byron Garcia is still around. I think that article has some good insights, even if it's biased from Byron's side. AngusWOOF (talk) 21:31, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Congratulations

100000 Edits
Congratulations on reaching 100000 edits. You have achieved a milestone that very few editors have been able to accomplish. The Wikipedia Community thanks you for your continuing efforts. Keep up the good work!

If you like you can add this userbox to your collection.

This user has been awarded with the 100000 Edits award.

Articles for Creation urgently needs YOUR help!

Articles for Creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 1114 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our Help Desk.

Do you have what it takes?
  1. Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines?
  2. Do you know what Wikipedia is and is not?
  3. Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions?
  4. Are you autoconfirmed?
  5. Can you review submissions based on their individual merits?

If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions.

PS: we have a great AFC helper script at User:Timotheus Canens/afchelper4.js which helps in reviewing in just few edits easily!

We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 2 or 3 reviews, it would be extremely beneficial.
On behalf of the Articles for Creation project,

AFT5 newsletter

Hey all :). A couple of quick updates (one small, one large)

First, we're continuing to work on some ways to increase the quality of feedback and make it easier to eliminate and deal with non-useful feedback: hopefully I'll have more news for you on this soon :).

Second, we're looking at ways to increase the actual number of users patrolling and take off some of the workload from you lot. Part of this is increasing the prominence of the feedback page, which we're going to try to do with a link at the top of each article to the relevant page. This should be deployed on Tuesday (touch wood!) and we'll be closely monitoring what happens. Let me know if you have any questions or issues :).

Albert Cohen (producer)

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Albert Cohen (producer). The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:10, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

The article Index of Croatia-related articles has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Perpetually incomplete list of undefined scope

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. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 09:02, 19 November 2012 (UTC)


Speedy deletion nomination of Pimp-A-Lot

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 Pimp-A-Lot 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 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Epeefleche (talk) 06:43, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

The usual criterion for inclusion in Wikipedia is explained here. Very basically, we only summarise information that's already published in reliable sources that're independent of the subject. We do this to ensure both that our information is verifiable, and that it can be written neutrally. If you have any questions, please ask. Cheers, WilyD 07:23, 26 November 2012 (UTC)


AFT5 office hours

Hey all :). Just a quick note to say we'll be holding office hours in #wikimedia-office at 21:30 UTC this Thursday (the 29th) to show everyone the additional tools we're thinking of working on. All attendence and feedback is appreciated :). Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 14:07, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Marquess (disambiguation)

Hi Werldwayd. I noticed you're the sole contributor to Marquess (disambiguation). I wanted to let you know that I've left a comment at Talk:Marquess (disambiguation) about some possible improvements to the page. In brief: the info you've put on the disambig page is useful, but I'm wondering if some of it would be better covered by the appropriate article pages. Thanks! --Noiratsi (talk) 09:47, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
