January 2015

Hello, it occurs to me that we have two pages performing complementary tasks and with some minor adjustments the two could be harmonised. WP:TFAREC is the newcomer - indeed, you may not have seen it. I created it to enable TFAR nominators to see relatively quickly which similar articles had been TFA in the previous six months or so and any future scheduled TFAs. It works on a series on monthly subpages (e.g. Wikipedia:Today's featured article/recent TFAs/November 2014) which are transcluded into the "recents" page until their time is up, when they are then transcluded to the year's archive page. The table coding means that we don't have new tables every month, allowing sorting of columns across different months without difficulty. The topic headings follow the WP:FA topic headings as far as possible (e.g. "Warfare – Biography"), although I then subdivide further, and I also give country details where possible. As people in the past have been interested in knowing how long it takes for articles to reach TFA after promotion, I give this too, along with the method of selection to show the activity or otherwise of TFAR.

TFASTATS presents similar information - it has the date, country details, topic headings and of course page view statistics. However, the way the page is set up does not allow the columns to be sorted across different months; the topic headings do not follow WP:FA (e.g. "military" instead of "warfare", "nature" instead of "biology"); the country details use flag icons, which is perhaps unnecessary decoration; and the list of articles uses {{las}} to give links to history and talk etc, which again is perhaps unnecessary given the primary purpose of the page.

So... what do you think about a "page views" column being added to the monthly recent TFAs page, then combining the two pages? That way, the list of articles/dates/topics/countries only has to be created once, when the articles are scheduled for TFA, and all that needs to be thereafter is to add the page views? It should make it easier to keep the statistics up to date, and ease your workload (as you seem to be the primary updater of the page view statistics). Best wishes, BencherliteTalk 10:06, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

I have gone ahead and merged WP:TFASTATS with WP:TFAREC; I am nearly finished adding page view statistics for 2014 to Wikipedia:Today's featured article/TFAs in 2014, which will then replace Wikipedia:Today's featured article/Statistics 2014. BencherliteTalk 16:05, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

About your (non)participation in the January 2012 SOPA vote

Hi Tbhotch. I am Piotr Konieczny (User:Piotrus), you may know me as an active content creator (see my userpage), but I am also a professional researcher of Wikipedia. Recently I published a paper (downloadable here) on reasons editors participated in Wikipedia's biggest vote to date (January 2012 WP:SOPA). I am now developing a supplementary paper, which analyzes why many editors did not take part in that vote. Which is where you come in :) You are a highly active Wikipedian (78th), and you were active back during the January 2012 discussion/voting for the SOPA, yet you did not chose to participate in said vote. I'd appreciate it if you could tell me why was that so? For your convenience, I prepared a short survey at meta, which should not take more than a minute of your time. I would dearly appreciate you taking this minute; not only as a Wikipedia researcher but as a fellow content creator and concerned member of the community (I believe your answers may help us eventually improve our policies and thus, the project's governance). PS. If you chose to reply here (on your userpage), please WP:ECHO me. Thank you! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:01, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

The third blind mouse

Hi. I was just wondering if you'd noticed http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Special:Contributions/The_third_blind_mouse ?

Not really. I mean, I can't tell who's him because I can't see other contributions other than his at that talk page. Unfortunately we can't fish it. Unless this account make an edit that reveals himself-- genre-warring, actively participate into RM (I've seen a sockpuppet in some RMs, I think you know him) or revert in places they've been reverted-- there's not so much to do other than his name appearing in a SPI. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 20:04, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

"A dog" at Judeo-Spanish (Ladino) Wikipedia

At first, I really imagined that this was a ridiculous piece of vandalism. But I looked, and you're pretty experienced. So what I'm assuming here is that you're concerned that someone looking for Lad, A Dog is going to type [[Lad:A dog]] and end up on my project. Do I have that right?

If so, you should probably add a couple of additional capitalization shortcuts here, and I should probably add lad:A Dog (capital D) as well, no? StevenJ81 (talk) (administrator on ladwiki) 19:33, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Never mind: I found your commented-out note at the redirect. I'll add my additional shortcut with capital D over there, and using a Lua module, I've also added iw links (for the sake of the Danish article). StevenJ81 (talk) 19:37, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Protection tags

I see you have been adding protection tags to various pages I have protected. You may or may not be interested, but I thought I would just let you know why I often don't do that myself. If you aren't interested, that's fine, and you don't have to read it.

I always used to add the tags myself, but then there were some occasions when I was protecting a large number of pages, all because of the same disruptive editor, which took a lot of time, and adding the time of putting the tags in sometimes made the job take more time than I had available, so that I finished up not getting all the pages protected. Because of that I took to giving tagging low priority: I would protect the pages first, and then add the tags only if I had time. There was also the fact that a bot used to add tags to any protected pages that were not tagged, so if I didn't have time to add the tags, it didn't make a lot of difference anyway. (That doesn't seem to happen any more.) Once I had got into the practice of not always adding tags, I started wondering how useful such tags were anyway. The overwhelming majority of people looking at a Wikipedia article are just reading it, not editing it, and to them the protection tag is completely irrelevant. Anyone with an established account can edit a semi-protected page anyway, so the tag is irrelevant to them. The majority of editors without established accounts probably have no idea what the little grey padlock in the corner of the page means, even if they notice it, so the tag is irrelevant to them. So we are left with what must be a very small minority out of all the people who look at the article: those who enough experience of editing Wikipedia to know what the padlock means, who do not have established account, who wish to edit the particular article in question, and who do look in the top right hand corner of the article before clicking on "edit". Such people will be able to see that the article is protected anyway, as they will see the link "View source" at the top of the page instead of "Edit". So it is really not clear to me that the tags actually serve any significant useful purpose at all. If I had never protected more than a few pages, I would probably have regarded the time it takes to tag them as negligible, but there are roughly 3300 entries in my block log over the five and a half years for which I've been an administrator, and 3000 times the time it takes to tag an article is a significant amount of time taken away from more useful tasks. I therefore now rarely do it.

None of that is any comment on your tagging the articles: I really don't mind whether you do it or not. However, I just thought you might possibly be wondering why I didn't do it, and if so you might be interested to know. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 11:54, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

I frankly don't care if an admin includes or not the padlock, I've been doing this for (I think) the same time you've been an admin, so I am accustomed to add it, without prejudice to the admin or discriminating the protected page (excluding user space). For years I did it manually, later somebody programmed a bot to do that (being bold and sounding arrogant I will say it) because of my edits adding the PP, later it stopped working sometime when I was out of the project. Now I use TW as it makes it easier. I really don't mind to spent 30 minutes adding the template (excepting in pages it will expire in hours or I can't even edit). I am conscient it is trivial for readers but it not completely trivial for editors. The way I see it, for casual readers who happen to notice it, it can be clicked and (depending the color) they will be led to WP:PP. PP explains in a nutshell what's going on with that lock, and that's it, it has no major impact in them. But the padlock may have a bigger function for "readeditors" (those who contribute sometimes to the website and full-time editors). For editors, like me, although it is totally trivial that they see a grey lock as they can still edit that page, I, for example, can know the page is semi-protected. What I'm trying to say is that, unless I click "Edit" in a page without the lock, I wouldn't know the page is protected (recently it happened to me with Adam and Eve; in the past it did happen to me with a page it was already semi-protected and I was watching against vandalism; in other words, I wasted my time and data watching for vandalism a page already indef-protected against vandalism). With the PP there, I can see the page is protected, and if needed I can check why it is protected--vandals, socks, etc.--and how much time, if it is a constant problem, and to educate myself with the problems of such page), of course that's in my case, some other editors wouldn't care less. Another one is for Template pages, which they are even more helpful, as there are 3 protections for them. I can see if I can edit it (semi), if I can edit it if I can edit templates--not my case--(template-protected), or if I can't edit it at all (full). Also, you can see it like this; you, as an admin, will never see the "View source" in a full-protected page (I think that´s how it happens). That doesn't mean readers or editors have to have the yellow lock excluded solely because they can see "View source". What I'm trying to say is, the template is trivial/specific-use (as trivial/specific-use as {{use dmy}} or Category:Living people or {{BLP sources}} for any reader or editor) but is not forbidden, not even discouraged, but the opposite, it is encouraged by the WP:PP itself: "Protected pages are normally marked with a small padlock symbol in the top corner." If you don't want to include it, it is totally your right and I support it; in fact if you massively protect pages, trying to add the pp to >25 pages will lag your device, and what you need it to protect them as soon as you can. I, on the other hand, don't mind adding it to the pages as the template will stay there days, weeks, months, or years, and I do find it has an usage. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 02:22, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Don't Let Go (album)

Greetings, Tbhotch. Recently you moved "Don't Let Go (album)" to "Don't Let Go (Jerry Garcia Band album)". You then recreated "Don't Let Go (album)" as a redirect to "Don't Let Go", a disambiguation page. That's fine -- there's another Don't Let Go album article -- but there were a number of articles that linked to "Don't Let Go (album)", so now they link to the disambiguation page instead of to the album article. I would request that you update those articles to link to "Don't Let Go (Jerry Garcia Band album)". You might know this already but you can find them by going to the "Don't Let Go" disambiguation page and clicking on What Links Here, on the left side in the Tools section. (It's only necessary to update the articles, not the user pages or Wikipedia space pages). Thanks. Mudwater (Talk) 00:54, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

@Mudwater: I do know how this works--I'm really experienced when moving pages (see logs). Also, I know multiple of these "Whatlinkshere" links link the dab page solely for technical reasons. Multiple of those links come from {{Jerry Garcia}} and {{Jerry Garcia Band}}, and it takes at least some hours to adjust themselves, let's call it "serverlag". The rest of the links are naturally links referring to JGB's album, and now it is visible where they are needed to be dabbed, which I will complete as I finish what I was doing. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 01:01, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
Okay, I get it now. Due to the links from the navboxes, and the server lag, you can't really see what links to the disambiguation page for some hours after the navboxes are updated -- but you were planning all along on doing the updates after that. Very good, thank you. Mudwater (Talk) 01:17, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Deep web, closing

Hi there,

As a matter of general practice, please don't close discussions with an outcome that requires action you're unable to perform. Nothing to do with your judgment or anything -- it's just unnecessary and leaves room for things to get messy, as was the case with Deep web (search) (see User talk:Anthony Appleyard, and perhaps soon WP:AN). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:55, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

@Rhododendrites:, WP:NACD. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 03:05, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
Exactly. "Non-administrators should limit their closes to outcomes they have the technical ability to implement". Also, that's for deletion discussions. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 03:47, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
WP:RMNAC. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 03:51, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
Gah. I guess you didn't contribute to the mess, then. Personally, I don't think it's a good idea and only creates an extra step in the process, but meh. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:03, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
@Rhododendrites: as someone who has done quite a few "close as moves" on RMs recently, I actually think there is a lot of use in it. These days if I close an RM that I'm unable to move myself, I tend to list the move requests at WP:RMT, as a non-controversial move. Unlike the WP:RM backlog, which is often very long and needs more eyes on it, requests at WP:RMT tend to get actioned within half a day at the maximum - Anthony Appleyard and Philg88 in particular, are a couple of admins I've noticed that will very quickly effect moves from WP:RMT, but don't tend to close full RM requests so often. So if Tbhotch or I do a non-admin RM close, then one of those admins do the actual move, it's a net win for the encyclopedia, and a better outcome than if we just let the backlog grow ever longer until an admin was able to deal with it amongst all the other things they do. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 16:25, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
Oh, and apologies I hadn't read the full discussion on Anthony's talk page before I wrote the above, and I can see that the Deep web thing ended up a little messy. However, I don't think that should deter us from the general principle of non-admins listing closed requests at WP:RMT. Only that the admins who process moves on that page need to understand the basic back story of the request they're being asked to carry out. In this case, Anthony should never have carried out the request to undo the move, because it was clear that the reason for its uncontroversial nature was because of the closed RM. And closed RMs are challenged by talking to the mover and going to WP:MR, not by requesting an admin to undo the move. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 16:52, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
(edit conflict) This is an issue that comes up pretty frequently, though I've only really been involved in the discussions regarding XfD. My opinion is colored by those discussions, to be sure, but it may be the case that it doesn't directly translate -- primarily because deletion is a much more significant consequence than a move. I still tend to think that anybody closing a discussion should have the technical ability to see it through. The RfA process is as harrowing as it is because those are the people vetted for their judgment (it's a problematic process, of course, but that's a separate conversation). If there aren't enough admins doing the work, the solution is to get more admins rather than distributing tasks that require judgment to non-admins and using admins just for technical abilities. Honestly, though, I don't really want to rehash one of these threads and don't need to be convinced. I wasn't aware of the guidelines of WP:RMNAC, so my objections are sort of moot. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:57, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
OK, fair enough, let's leave it there then. And I do basically agree with you. Admin closures are clearly much better than non-admin closures. Having more properly competent admins to keep the backlog in check would be much better than the current status quo. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 17:12, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

208.58.7.77 (talk · contribs) is edit warring. What to do now? SLBedit (talk) 17:26, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

@SLBedit:. You can follow the instructions at WP:3RRN. You are technically edit-warring too, but the YouTube link's author is not an official copyholder, so you are in the exceptions. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 17:30, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
Three reverts. SLBedit (talk) 17:34, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
Edit-warring is not about the quantity of reverts, but the reverting in itself. Unless the reverts are about something in the WP:3RRNO, the people involved should seek a resolution of the problem. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 17:38, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
Okay. Jerappelle is now adding the same YouTube link. Perhaps the user is a sockpuppet of the IP. SLBedit (talk) 18:06, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

SLBedit is being extremely aggressive, I would like to report him. I think he likes edit wars, but he needs to stop. He does not even try to talk, if he has a problem, he should explain what the problem is, now there is another reference, it is a sport newspaper, I am not sure why he is being so upset. I understand he is portoguese and maybe he does not like his referee being criticised, but I don't hink anything pejorative was added, just facts, supported by clear images. Jerappelle (talk) 18:11, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Now he accuses me of trolling, he is going over the top. I have tried to talk, what else can I do? Jerappelle (talk) 18:13, 11 July 2016 (UTC)


I put this note on SLBedit talk page regarding this edit. I am glad someone is on it. My sense is that my friend is right, can you look at it and get back to me? Thanks. Note on SLBedit page: Hey man, I am a registered user. I have a friend making corrections on wikipedia and asked for my help. I looked at his changes, and I agree with him. He put images from a video, they are clear as the sun, it can't get better than that. He is new and I think you are harassing him a little, be don't. Please, leave the changes, and leave him alone. If you have a problem feel free to write me, I am not here much but will check this page for the next couple of days until this is resolved. If we cannot solve it, I will ask the community to evaluate, or better, I would appreciate it if you left things the way they are and ask the community. I explained my friend that is the way things work on wikipedia, majority rules. I also told him not to make changes from my IP because I don't want to be blocked, but he said he won't. Be a big boy and leave him alone, please, or let's just ask the community but please leave his changes until they have been voted. Thanks!

Can you help with this user? I find him quite aggressive, honestly. I tried to talk to him, but he does not seem to be interest in talking. I would like to talk to him, but he seems quite upset and not interested. Jerappelle (talk) 18:06, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Guys, this is not the place for this. And I recommend you both to stop the passive-agressive comments. If this still need to be discussed, discuss this at WP:DRN.

YouTube license question

Hi @Tbhotch, how do I know if a YouTube video can be linked? If it says YouTube standard license, is that allowed? Jerappelle (talk) 19:39, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

@Jerappelle:, the standard license (copyrighted) only help us to know if the videos are all rights reserved (copyrighted) or if that are released under compatible Creative Commons (CC) or Public Domain (PD) licenses (in other words, that we can upload them in Commons, for example). The way to know if someone is the copyright holder of a work, is with evidence that that uploader (YouTuber) created the video, or if that YouTuber has a license to reuse such work. In other words, if you look for, for example a football game, in YT, you will receive multiple links to that football game. In this case, you can see in the video was uploaded by SirOmarTV. His profile does not indicates he is a copyright holder of the broadcast rights of that UEFA 1980 match, that he works or worked for the UEFA, or the crew who filmed that video. That upload is unauthorized and as such Wikipedia should not use it.
On the opposite, if a person, a company, or so, has an official account, and--regardless if the license is all rights, CC or PD--the video is theirs. Take as an example this video. You may use it as a source, because UFC on Fox, a brand of FOX, has a license to use such material and/or created the material. But, you can't use a link to a video uploaded by a YouTuber named X901₩8, who decided to upload that UFC on Fox video on his own channel, because he has no rights to use it.
TL:DR,to know if a video can be used as a source or not, you have to check if the uploader is undoubtely a copyright holder. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 21:40, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
Great, that helps a lot. Thanks! Jerappelle (talk) 22:25, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Please calm down. The change was listed on Wikipedia:Move review the day before. Second, I claim it is arbitrary and cite facts to the effect. Again you misquoted my sentence that said that my opposition will not cease unless someone gives me reliable data that their answer is justified on a general consensus of the sources. I am concerned that the process fails to apply the rules of Wikipedia, mainly WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and is just depending on a handful of people who say "I don't wanna change the name." If that is not ridiculous and arbitrary, then what is. Again, I am persistent with facts. Show me evidence to the contrary and the argument becomes reasonable. Apply the same rules to this entry that are touted for others, and it will be reasonable. Nobody lives or dies because the name is one or the other, but principles do matter. This is a move that repeatedly gets suggested. I did so with strong data to support to move and three guys say just "no" and the discussion is closed. Three or more people said move the title, the discussion should not have been closed, there was no consensus to close. The original move to the present title was arbitrary, no debate. Is that how we want to work in Wikipedia?

Also the please calm down, your are disruptive is silly to quote when someone argues that the decision was inappropriate based on numbers and that the change is appropriate based on data. My recommendation, is that if you wish to wade into this debate come armed with facts. I would be delighted to have you join in. Rococo1700 (talk) 23:13, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Your comment resumed in two words: Boring bullshit. You cannot comprehend the word "consensus", so there is nothing to discuss here. And considering you still battling over this in 3 different places now, I'll step aside as this is completely irrelevant for me. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 00:09, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Hines delete

Hey I was looking at the Nico Hines article and it looks like if a few weeks were given more articles about him will surface. And because he is a popular journalist he might have garnered articles mentioning him elsewhere that would make him worthy of a stand-alone article. I'm just bringing this up because while I do agree that the article should be deleted, I don't think it should be salted or anything like that. Just needs a little time and care put into the matter. Thoughts? 66.87.113.199 (talk) 22:08, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

I never said it should be salted. WP:BLP1E was created for this purpose, for people that are notable solely because sources exist and solely discuss one single event, in this case his article. He also fails WP:NJOURNALIST (or WP:NPEOPLE in general), so no. Unless the article covers other stuff other that this event, it cannot be recreated. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 22:56, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I have a question. Boys' Record by VIXX is a single not an EP. The play length is too short to be an EP and it was marketed as a single. My question is was the infobox changed? Alicia leo86 (talk) 06:21, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

@Alicia leo86: It was marketed as single album in Asia. In western world, a single album is an extended play. It is not too short to be an EP, it is in fact too long to be a single, and too short to be a studio album. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 04:54, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
Ah, alright then. So it must have the EP infobox even though its a single because its US Wikipedia? How short does a single by US standards have to be? Alicia leo86 (talk) 05:03, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
Length aside (length was important when vinyls were used), it has more to do with the quantity of songs given in the same release. One or two songs are still a single, but 3-8 is an EP (excluding remixes and the instrumentals of those songs, for example A (Ayumi Hamasaki EP)). An EP would last between ±8 to 34:59 minutes (varies depending some countries like the UK). © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 05:27, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
@Alicia leo86:, a good tip I can give, because sometimes it is hard to distinguish them, is to check the music charts. If it charted on album charts, treat them like EPs, if they chart on the singles chart, as singles. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 05:45, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
That tip wouldn't work with Gaon (South Korea's music chart), all single albums, EPs and albums are listed in the albums chart. But there's also the digital chart which is for singular songs which could have all songs from a particular album chart in it. I still think Boys' Record should probably be noted as a single by your example of Ayumi's release its only three songs plus an instrumental which is excluded. Alicia leo86 (talk) 18:57, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
It includes 3 songs, "Love Equation", "On a Cold Night", and "Memory" (this would make it an EP in itself), and it charted in 3 different album charts. The reason some singles chart in albums charts is because they are EPs but that are promoted as singles (once again, this is a territorial classification). A true single from VIXX is Super Hero (VIXX song), which includes 2 songs, one instrumental, and it charted on the singles chart. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 19:31, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Gareth Bale

Hello, I add a source which is a news about Real won the super cup. In fact, another source which is about 2014 super cup also belongs to this form, so I think it should be ok. Of course, if it actually doesn't meet the requirement. I can replace it later. 七战功成 (talk) 19:46, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I notice that I am already be reported by you. But according to your previous message, the edit war happened at "Christiano Ronaldo" page, I didn't do any change on it and only revert another one's edit on "Gareth Bale". That also belongs to edit war? 七战功成 (talk) 19:46, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

@七战功成: 3RR applies to any page in Wikipedia. I only warned you for Ronaldo's to avoid 3 or 4 messages for the same issue for all the players. At the moment you reverted at Bale's page, you continued the edit-war and not followed the instructions of the message I sent. Due to this, you have been reported to WP:3RRN, you can follow the instructions in that page to know what's next. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 20:16, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. But I am still not clear about what the penalty is. Could you explan it a little bit? 七战功成 (talk) 20:26, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

@七战功成: Rather than a penalty, you will be temporarily blocked from editing. The blocking admin will explain this. In the future please do not engage in edit-wars and discuss the issue at talk pages or noticeboards. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 20:29, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Hey, sorry to bother again, but a user on the nomination suggested that it could be blurb material and just wanted to hear your two cents on the subject. Erick (talk) 20:36, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

I'm not so into ITN (other than technical stuff), so I don't know which is the solid criteria for recently deceased people (Bowie, Jackson, and Prince were kind of obvious). I frankly don't know if he would qualify as a full-blurb for the English Wikipedia (otherwise, you would have seen this kind of quick response from other members). You don't lose something with trying it though. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 20:49, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
Oh no that's fine, I just wanted to know your opinion about the subject. Either way, I'm okay with it since it's already on the front page. Erick (talk) 21:24, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
@Magiciandude:, you win me to reply. On the other hand, if he and his recordings have global relevance[2], it might be material for the blurb. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 21:27, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
That's a good point as well. Maybe if you post that on the ITN nom, it could convince some of the other members. EDIT: Also, when you mentioned the television series ending the same day he died, it gave me an idea to expand on the article about it to make it a DYK nom. Erick (talk) 21:59, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

You have been systematically ignoring replies I've given to you in multiple RMs and talk pages, and now that is conventient for you, you decide to reply. Trust me, you have no idea what harassment is, specifically when you was the one who publically did this. You gave a link whose Wikidata gives a link to the article you created. Stop with the idea people are chasing you around because this was not the case. Now, back to the article, solely because you have the WP:AP tool, the tool does not give you the right of owning articles, does not except you from creating articles with the minimal criteria in reliable sourcing and notablity, and does not give you the right to expect other people to finish your job. I read the article in Spanish before in English, and it has multiple unsourced and original research statements. Rather than exclude them, you decided to include them ("but saw light on the album Soy un corazón tendido al sol in 1979, which was recorded in Milan with producer Danilo Vaona", "The song went high on the charts", "for many is the singer's best song"). Also, sources 2, 3 and 4, doesn't even include a link to the sources, yet the Spanish article have them; are you unable to do ctrl+C and ctrl+V when creating an article? It is not my job to find sources of articles you create, it is yours when you create an article, and in fact you were told about this 3 years ago by multiple admins. And I told you here that if you didn't make articles about people or groups or people to satisfy WP:A7, I would take this case to WP:ANI, because since you were given the AP tool, you have been deliberately gaming the system. This tool will tell me how many articles since October 15, 2013 about biographies have deliberately violated the A7 criteria when you were told to not doing so. Not going that far in the list, articles like Manzanita (singer), Saboten (all-girl band), Robert Delaney (composer) or Kumiko Takahashi (writer) clearly are "article[s] about a real person[s], ... that do not indicate why its subject is important or significant ... [and lack] any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines." It will take me time to check the list from October 15, 2013 until today, but I'm quite sure it won't be a short one. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 07:43, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

It's the redirect fiend again. You can safely ignore him. Raymie (tc) 16:29, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
I did just RM Talk:Azteca (TV network) since you mentioned it. It'd be a good confusion reducer too. Raymie (tc) 06:32, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Can you remove ballad (not a genre)? I would not remove because other admin will see me. (LOL) 123.136.111.67 (talk) 18:51, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks again for your efforts! Lepricavark (talk) 16:21, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you so much @Magiciandude:. This comes out of the blue, mostly because my edits are intermittent. Once again thanks for this, and thanks to you (and to @MX:; btw the last time I was here, you had another username LOL) for your contributions on Spanish-language topics. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 19:10, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
Haha yeah, I had a different username. Decided to change it up a bit and remove my initials from my name (I was writing too many sensitive topics). Anyways, your work throughout the years has been an inspiration to me. I hope we can work on an article together some day in the future if our interests happen to align. Cheers! MX () 20:32, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
I understand you, take care. I hope the same, read you later. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 20:38, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject Leona Lewis

Hello Tbhotch. I noticed the article for Iris (Goo Goo Dolls song) was tagged by you as being within the scope of WikiProject Leona Lewis.[4] The connection is not obvious so I am asking you: how is it within that WikiProject's scope? Thank you.--John Cline (talk) 17:09, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Google is your friend ‑ Iridescent 17:20, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
Indeed. Thanks Iridescent.--John Cline (talk) 20:17, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
@John Cline: I didn't know it was missing information about her cover. I just added it. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 18:58, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Cornerstonepicker removed acoustic when says "isn't a genre", however Wikipedian1818 added back with "acoustic". "Acoustic music is music that solely or primarily uses instruments that produce sound through acoustic means." 115.164.84.70 (talk) 11:31, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Hey Axel - thanks again for your very thorough review! I was just wondering if you might have a chance to read over my replies. I understand you're busy :) Thanks very much! — fox 23:21, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Not sure exactly what happened with this, but I take it you're reviewing the GA nomination now, no? Everymorning (talk) 23:14, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewing

Hello, Tbhotch.

I've seen you editing recently and you seem knowledgeable about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; currently Wikipedia needs experienced users at this task. (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. Thanks. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 09:38, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
