DYK requests

[edit]

Dr Aaij, I'm not sure whether you're aware that there are 187 approved DYK nominations awaiting promotion, or another 160 awaiting or under review. In either event, I'm not currently building prep sets, and I'm not in the habit of arbitrarily soliciting reviewers for newish unreviewed nominations—unfortunately, given the current backlog, waiting for over two weeks to get a review is all too common, and three to four weeks is the average wait for an approved nomination to be promoted to the main page.

I can understand that this doesn't fit well with academic schedules, especially given that your course appears to end in 16 days. I don't really have the time to help you (my Wikipedia activity level is low this fall), so please don't ping me or post about me in nominations; the only affect it's likely to have is that people may think I might be taking action, so they'll be less likely to engage, not more. But then, if you're really Drmies, as your user page claims, you ought to know this already, so I'm at a loss as to why you made those two posts earlier today. As Drmies, you'd stand a far better chance if you posted to WT:DYK about the class, and how more prompt attention (rather like an impending special occasion in terms of timing) for reviews and promotions would help the educational experience. The flip side, of course, is that such DYK nominations that get reviewed a bit later end up dying on the vine because the course has ended and the student has stopped editing Wikipedia. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:10, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • BlueMoonset, no, neither I nor Drmies were aware of these numbers, nor did we know a review took two weeks or more. I was just asking a question, that's all. I don't know why you thought Drmies would know all this already but don't worry, I won't ping you any more. Dr Aaij (talk) 21:01, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Dr Aaij, DYK nominations can be reviewed right away, or wait for over a month; two weeks is unfortunately far from unusual. I had thought Drmies had been paying attention when made DYK nominations or reviewed same, which is admittedly not terribly often, but apparently not.

Template message

[edit]

A user just edited my article, and he made some changes that I think really improved the article but he also inserted a template saying my article might need copy editing for tone and cohesion. Is that going to interfere with my DYK nomination at all? Thank you! Germanboi87 (talk) 22:24, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hey Germanboi87, I looked at the edit and for the most part I agree. I mean, I don't see what's wrong with "GIs", but OK--but I had noticed the "hit it big" phrase before, and that's not really encyclopedic language. You need to get rid of "infamous" too, in this case. Now, looking at that passage again, I see more unclarities: "During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, a lot of European countries received interest from major league players, one of which was the infamous John McGraw.[why?] Germany was not included though, partly because of inclement weather." Yes, what was McGraw looking for? What does "receiving interest" mean--did MLB players go over to Europe for... for what? And throughout those two centuries there was bad weather in Germany? So that really needs some work. Now, User:SounderBruce has 12 FAs, which is 11 more than me, I think, and 131 GAs, which is more than a hundred more than you and me put together, so let's assume they know what they're talking about. In other words, next step is to go through the article and try to work on it.

    Will this thwart the DYK? Hmm I don't like promoting articles with a template on it, so yeah, it needs to be handled. But a half an hour's work might take care of it. Thanks, and good luck, Dr Aaij (talk) 02:32, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review Response

[edit]

Hello Dr. Aaij! I have completed gathering the diffs of the changes I made to articles based on peer review. I am working on my current article and reliability now!

http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Talk:Akira_Nakai <talk page to Akira Nakai The reviews on my original talk page were very insightful on how to improve my article on Nakai.

Dr. Aaij(you), PeterYatesWV, and Jisbell2 all advised me to organize my article in a more legible format. I completed this by separating the text into sub-sections here > http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Akira_Nakai&diff=870727268&oldid=870497178

You and Shalor told me my tone was a bit too “admirable”, if you will, for the article’s tone. I tried to fix that but cannot find the exact diff where i changed it. I believe it was over time. Akira Nakai article > http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Akira_Nakai

My lead needed some work so I have since added just a bit to it but the effect of that little bit goes a distance. > http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Akira_Nakai&diff=870926744&oldid=870926458 > http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Akira_Nakai&diff=870926458&oldid=870923715

Almost all reviews of my underdone article said something about my sources which I have now added more of. > http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Akira_Nakai&diff=870926458&oldid=870923715

I have also used all that I learned from these reviews by peers and applied it to my Toomer’s Corner article displayed here.(which I have also worked on a lot more. Shalor made some good points about it. > http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Toomer%27s_Corner_(Auburn,_AL) LikesPickles (talk) 22:33, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Reflective Essay and others

[edit]

Hi Dr.Aaij. I just wanted to let you know I have finished up quite a few things on my wiki including adding to more articles, my DYK nomination, my vandalism diffs, copyediting more articles, and as of right now I am finishing up retyping my reflective essay. I apologize for the delay in this. I do believe I am having more issues with it though, as I think I just posted a bit of it without being logged in. I really apologize for all of this and thank you for your patience with me. Jisbell2 (talk) 06:49, 11 December 2018 (UTC) Here is the page to my Essay, thank you again and once again I am sorry. User:Jisbell2/essay Jisbell2 (talk) 07:19, 11 December 2018 (UTC) I also have completed the survey for extra points in the course. Jisbell2 (talk) 07:53, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Resource request follow-up

[edit]

If you're pleased with the service at Resource Request, please consider whether you can render a similar service to another requester. If, through your institution, you can freely borrow materials from Auburn University, you may be able to answer the question at WP:RX#Proceedings of the International Association of Engineering Geology regarding several claims at 1556 Shaanxi earthquake. No other volunteer has been able to access the source, so your assistance would be appreciated, even if you can't help until libraries reopen in the new year.

Volume 4 of the proceedings is cataloged here. Identifying the unknown article within the volume may be easy if there's an index or if there's a table of contents and the article is mainly about the 1556 Shaanxi earthquake (also known as the Huaxian earthquake or Jiajing earthquake) or a likely related topic, i.e. Chinese geology or earthquake engineering. Otherwise you might have to page through the volume looking for something that stands out, such as the casualty estimate of 820,000–830,000. Even if you only have 20-30 minutes to give to the problem, and can't go all the way through the volume, a result of "if it's in here, it isn't in the first 50 pages" would help the next searcher. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:26, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh well, no worries. It was worth a try. I hope those who hold the purse strings soon come to recognize again the importance of spending money on educational institutions. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:05, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neuronetics Content Page

[edit]

Hi Dr Aaij, thanks for the welcome on my newly created account. I wanted to take you up on your offer to chat (since I'm new and still navigating Wikipedia) and connect on proposed edits I made to the Neuronetics page. As disclosed, I have a COI with Neuronetics and suggested minor edits to the page based on publicly available information, such as number of employees, key executives, etc. to be compliant with Wiki policies though those changes have not been made. Any information you can share as to why would be most helpful, especially so I can keep in mind moving forward.

Our articles

[edit]

Note: two articles were moved back by other editors into draft space, because they were deemed not to be ready for the main space. Those articles obviously need work: their writers would do well to follow the format, the WRITING format, of other articles. What the reviewers/classmates (I'm looking at all of you) should do is offer good suggestions on how to get them into proper shape. Dr Aaij (talk) 17:54, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To what extent would you like friendly other editors to start looking and doing things? Would you like folks to jump in or hold off for now? LadyofShalott 20:17, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for asking, User:LadyofShalott--I think for now I would like folks to hold off. More useful to the students would be a review, rather than a bunch of improvements. Minor fixes are great: the students are graded, in the end, on the writing. So for instance if an editor would fix some citation or template error, that's great. Rewriting a bunch of text, not so much--though you may have seen I couldn't stop myself earlier today. And I'd like for them to leave extensive edit summaries. You know, I should write an edit notice... Thanks for coming by, Lady: you have been such a good friend all those years. Dr Aaij (talk) 00:49, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK nom

[edit]

Hellow Dr Aaij. I noticed you are very interested in Alabama history, so I was wondering if you could lend your opinion to a DYK nomination about premier Alabama historian Thomas Perkins Abernethy and my nomination in the prep area. Best. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 18:38, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The issue has been resolved. In any case, your insights about Abernety and Alabama history is always welcomed. Here's a book by Abernethy you might appreciate.
  • Abernethy, Thomas Perkins (1922). The formative period in Alabama, 1815–1828. Montgomery, Alabama, The Brown printing company.  Best, -- Gwillhickers (talk) 19:53, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Gwillhickers, thank you so much for the link to that book. We visited Cahaba, Alabama a few weeks ago: it is a strange, strange thing. The Abernethy book treats it in a very matter-of-fact way, but if you go there you realize what madness that was. William Wyatt Bibb was either crazy or on the take--it wouldn't be the first decision made in Alabama because of either or both of these factors. Thank you, Dr Aaij (talk) 14:02, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Training exercise

[edit]

Saw the discussion at Talk:Busch Gardens Tampa#Well written article, and I see you're going through a training exercise of some sort with a student. However, talk pages are for discussing specific issues and areas of improvement, not simply for feedback in the form of a review. It should probably be removed unless it's going to focus specifically on improving the article. Also, your feedback to the student shouldn't be listed there on the talk page. You should find some other direct channel of communication, or at the very least, leave it on their user talk page instead of the article talk page. --GoneIn60 (talk) 05:06, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Plagiarism

[edit]

http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Ibrahima_Aya The article is copied from people pill.com. Wikipedia says it is a blacklisted site and won't let me publish the link. Stacy.johnson515 (talk) 21:49, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]


The entire first paragraph is word for word — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stacy.johnson515 (talk • contribs) 21:35, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Stacy.johnson515, it's actually more insidious than that: scroll down on that page and you'll find "The contents of this page are sourced from Wikipedia article. The contents are available under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license." It's a page that copied Wikipedia's content. I see it in other places too, like something called InfoHub--it's safe to say that all those places just stole it from Wikipedia and put the disclaimer in real small print. If you look at the history you'll see this was the first version, and so the article is a translation from the French wiki. Thanks, Dr Aaij (talk) 22:27, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Stacy.johnson515, something else. Don't pursue this article--there's not enough sources in English, and even in French it's meager. (Wikipedia's coverage also depends on the availability of sources...)

    I looked around and ran into [Fatoumata Keïta]], but that doesn't need much improvement though it could do with expansion. But there also all the sourcing is in French--it was translated from the French wiki by Bookworm-ce, who is associated with Wikipedia:WikiProject Women writers: those pages can give you helpful tips on what you might start. My friend Rosiestep is heavily involved with that project and she might have some good ideas for an article that needs more/better sources in English. You might also look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Loves Women, which is interested in African women.

    It's probably better to look among more English-speaking/writing populations--like Category:Ghanaian writers or Category:Kenyan writers. Dr Aaij (talk) 23:27, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    • Hi Stacy.johnson515, welcome to Wikipedia! I've been doing a bunch of work on African women writers, activists, and politicians lately, a lot of translation as Dr Aaij mentioned but also through digging up secondary sources. So I'd be happy to help with any questions you may have if that's something you're interested in as well! Bookworm-ce (talk) 23:39, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Bookworm-ce, thank you so much for stopping by! You are doing a lot of really good work. You can check out the class, if you like: the first assignment will be to write up an as-yet redlinked African writer--so don't take them all, haha. I have a short list at User:Dr Aaij/African authors and will be adding to that list in the next few days. If you have any that you could add that would be great--I got these out of an encyclopedia of African literature, so I know they're notable. It would be helpful, as I indicated above, if sources are available in English--this is a Freshman Comp class at an American satellite of a big state school. Again, thank you so much for your help, and for all you're doing to close that content gap. Dr Aaij (talk) 23:44, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • Aw thanks, Dr Aaij! I've gone in and added a few for them to take a look at, they all seemed to have English-language sources available, although I figured it might spoil the assignment to give them citation links haha. Best of luck to your students! Bookworm-ce (talk) 00:41, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • Hi everyone! Hi, Stacy.johnson515. I'm happy to know that you are editing Wikipedia. I focus on dead women's biographies, so the article you've been working on, Ibrahima Aya, a biography of a living man, is outside my area of attention. That said, if you're interested in women's biographies, here is some information which you might find helpful. --Rosiestep (talk) 02:10, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
            • Regarding African women biographies which are fodder for improvement, you might want to peruse this page: Category:African women. You'll be more likely to find new references for the biographies of people in English-speaking African countries, e.g. Category:South African women so maybe start your search there. Also, if you focus on dead people rather than living ones, you might find obituaries which are a great source for improving biography articles.
            • If you're interested in new article creation (I don't know if your class assignment allows that), there are links to lots of names of African women who don't have an article on English Wikipedia here. Mind you, not every name meets English Wikipedia's notability requirements, so you'll have to do the research.

Thank you for your Help!

[edit]

Here's a belated thank you for welcoming me to Wikipedia, Dr. Aaij :)
I know that it's been a while since you first welcomed me, but your message has really helped in showing me the ropes of Wikipedia now that I am getting more involved. Again, thank you!

Warm regards,

P.S. Is there a way to automatically format your messages on talk pages, similar to an email? I'm wondering if there's a more efficient way to sign off than copy-pasting four tildes every time.

  • Tyrone Madera, alright alright, welcome back. Hope you enjoy. No, I don't think there's anything you can to do format this automatically, though I suppose you could make a template, with all the code and a space for the message, and save that in Notepad or something, and then copying it, pasting it, and filling it in. But that's too fancy for me, haha. Dr Aaij (talk) 21:02, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I edited Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Auburn University at Montgomery/ENGL 1020C, CRN 2988 (Spring 2017), even though there's a warning there saying "DO NOT EDIT THIS PAGE!", to fix 11 Links in links lint errors and a missing </div>.
