On 3 April 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gorbachev Pizza Hut commercial, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that former Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev starred in a Pizza Hut commercial in 1997? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gorbachev Pizza Hut commercial. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Gorbachev Pizza Hut commercial), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Hello, PhotographyEdits! Some time ago I start thinking about early ThinkPad lines and PS/2 lines relationship, and, so, in My mind occasionally was created the new scheme of successions. What do You think about this scheme? ThisIsNotABetter (talk) 23:08, 28 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

@ThisIsNotABetter: Nice work, but where should this table be located? In the ThinkPad article itself? It still need some rows for the 200 and 500 series in my view. PhotographyEdits (talk) 09:37, 29 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! This table just more about predecessors that a ThinkPad itself. I also try to make a rough expanded version (with most of PS/55 models), You can check this page again. I currently don't know, where this table can be integrated properly; maybe, this table can be integrated with new semi-disambig page page with IBM laptops (or similar) name?

An article you recently created, List of Deutsche Bahn subsidiaries, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ... discospinster _talk 03:28, 22 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Would you please refrain from removing the bolding from article ledes? You seem to have developed a mistaken idea of what MOS:AVOIDBOLD is about. The first mention of the article's subject in the lede is explicitly required to be bolded (absent a few special circumstances, like long composite titles that essentially constitute sentences). See Wikipedia:Lead dos and don'ts, third bullet under DO'S; and MOS:BOLDALTNAMES. Cheers --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 23:09, 1 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Elmidae Recently I have removed the bold title from various flag-related articles, in which I reached consensus about it with other editors. For example, Flag of Italy. Before I edited that article, the lead sentence was: "The flag of Italy (Italian: Bandiera d'Italia, Italian: [banˈdjɛːra diˈtaːlja]), often referred to in Italian as il Tricolore (English: the Tricolour, Italian: [il trikoˈloːre]), is the national flag of Italy." I still think that a lot of those flag related articles are in violation of WP:REDUNDANCY because they want to link to the articles national flag, the name of the country *and* mention the article title in bold without links. You said there are a few special circumstances, but the policy says "If the article's title does not lend itself to being used easily and naturally in the opening sentence". That seems like a rather broad exception to the rule. I think that Climate of Argentina is in violation of MOS:BOLDLINKAVOID and that Material properties of diamond is violating MOS:TITLEABSENTBOLD. Let me know what you think about that. I think your remaining reverts are justified and on top of that I don't want to start an edit war. PhotographyEdits (talk) 17:10, 2 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi - sorry, I'm keeping unsteady hours these days. There's often a fair amount of YMMV in assessing the lede title (and clearly there are many fairly tortous examples of forcing the article name into the first sentence against all good jugdement). I think the main issue with the articles you mention is that notion that the linking of the term also has to happen as early as possible, whereas the more suitable handling seems to be that it's just fine if such a link only enters in a later sentence. E.g., for Climate of Argentina I think the sensible solution would be to drop the link, not drop the bolding? Re Material properties of diamond, on reflection I probably misspoke there - can't come up with a graceful way to avoid the MOS:TITLEABSENTBOLD issue, so I've reverted.

Hi PhotographyEdits, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help).

Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

On 13 May 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article NSA ANT catalog, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after the ANT catalog of espionage tools by the National Security Agency were leaked to the public, they were implemented as open-source tools? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/NSA ANT catalog. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, NSA ANT catalog), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

A tag has been placed on File:Portraid of Matthew Morris Aid.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

The article The worst person you know has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NOTNEWS, trivia of the day.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Fram (talk) 08:41, 20 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello @Fram, I have removed the notice, explaining my rationale in the edit description. What I forgot to explicitly mention is that these sources make the article meet the WP:GNG. PhotographyEdits (talk) 08:47, 20 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Fram in your edit you stated "No reason to give this more attention than what is already in the list". Why? If secondary, reliable, independent sources have written more about the subject, then this can be included. The article can be expanded based on the current sources, but then it could become too long for the list in the article about internet phenomena. PhotographyEdits (talk) 09:02, 20 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

It's one of countless memes, trivia which occasionally gets attention, and per WP:BLP why should we further spread the name of the poor person who has been misused by "social" media everywhere? The meme exists, the person was not aware of it, didn't ask for it, and has no reason to be the face of it: what more is there to tell about it? That he didn't know and that some media searched for him, how worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia...

@Fram: Yes, there are a lot of memes, but we have policies of what is worthy of inclusion such as the WP:GNG. It has gotten attention by multiple media over a longer period of time. If you read The Guardian source, you'll read that he has accepted being a meme. Also, if WP:BLP is applied, the same information cannot be added to the list article as well. I think BLP is not a valid rationale for deletion of this article. PhotographyEdits (talk) 09:13, 20 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article The worst person you know is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

Hi PhotographyEdits. It was just the mainspace links I was thinking of, as I'd agree best not touch other people's userspace links.

Hey there! So, sorry for the anon account, it's been years since I logged into Wikipedia and I'm probably gonna need to reset my password, but I'm not even sure I remember the username lol. Anyway, so I was looking at the whole saga regarding Kaseya and their flagrant WP:SPAM abuse over the past 15 years. I think they probably failed WP:NOTABILITY back when they first started trying to spam wikipedia, but I am pretty sure the issue now is not notability so much as it is that the only people likely to write a complete article are salesbots from Kaseya that are just going to fill it back up with promotional spam again.

In many ways I think this is a case of "you get what you deserve", but for complicated reasons I _might_ be motivated to try and write a neutral, well-sourced, and informative article about the company and submit it as a draft in my user space (once I recover my account lol). This is the first encounter I've had with WP:SALT haha so I'm not even sure what the process would be for that. And in any case, I mean, I was wondering if there's even a snowball's chance in hell of it happening. I admit they are kinda right on the edge for WP:NOTABILITY. There are plenty of smaller companies that have Wikipedia articles, but then again two wrongs don't make a right.. but then again, for better or worse, they are a pretty big player in their industry now, and just got a lot bigger with the acquisition of Datto. I feel like they meet the de facto thresholds for notability, it's just that their overly aggressive PR drones have poked the hornet's nest one too many times.

Anyway, let me know what you think. If you think this is all stupid and a waste of time, I won't be offended. I'm not even sure I _want_ to do it, I mean, like I say, you kinda get what you deserve. :shrug: Thanks for listening, heh 8.41.72.250 (talk) 18:13, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Jaysweet Also, welcome back to Wikipedia and have fun editing! PhotographyEdits (talk) 10:41, 26 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thank you! And yeah, I know you can't guarantee what other people will say, I just picked you as somebody who had 86'd the article in the not-to-distant past, to kinda get a feel for folks' temperature on this. I may give it a shot. My primary motivation, to be honest, is just to prove that it's not that hard to write a neutral and well-sourced article lol. OTOH, I kinda feel like the fact that Kaseya redirects to the ransomware attack is sweet sweet justice. We'll see, maybe I'll just disappear, maybe I'll come back in a few days with an article. Thanks again for answering! Jaysweet (talk) 13:21, 29 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Jaysweet Looking at the history of the article, it was me that merged the company article to the incident article. I'm fine to have a separate article, but please try to write more than a single paragraph of information that is unrelated to the ransomware incident. 11:29, 29 August 2022 (UTC) PhotographyEdits (talk) 11:29, 29 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Yes, my plan (if I do it) is to model it after similar articles about similarly-sized companies, covering the basic facts, history of acquisitions, etc. There should be plenty of 3rd party sources, albeit most of it is going to be trade press rather than mainstream press (but I can tell the difference between a republished press release vs an actual article lol so I should be able to keep it reliable). The acquisition history alone is probably starting to meet the notability guidelines, as Kaseya has been pretty aggressive in gobbling up other players in the MSP space. Idk, we'll see. Thanks again! Jaysweet (talk) 13:31, 29 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I was checking out the page on Hector Martin, and noticed you created a link in the See also section to the Kiwi Farms article. Looks like somebody reverted your change, removing a special subsection header about Near, therefore the Kiwi Farms § Near link doesn't work as expected.

What about perhaps creating a section on Hector Martin's page? It could cover his struggles with Kiwi Farms, the harassment he has faced due to the death of Near, and calls for Cloudflare to end support, etc.

Just a thought. I don't know if there are enough sources that specifically mention Hector Martin in relation to Near and Kiwi Farms, but I'm sure we could come up with a few sentences to cover the subject. I would be happy to help a bit, if you wanted to take the lead on such an addition to the article.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Hi PhotographyEdits. My name is Lesley and I work for an IT security company called Sophos. I requested some corrections and trims of executive appointments to the Sophos page here a couple weeks ago. I saw that you were active on tech pages, including the List of computer security companies page you created, so I was hoping it might be up your alley. Under WP:COI, I am not supposed to make edits to the page myself, even when they are mundane corrections. I was hoping you might be willing to look at the proposed changes?

Thanks for uploading File:PostNL logo.svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hello, I wanted you to know that I restored Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement to his biography. You noted in your edit summary that blogs and newsletters are not reliable sources, which is generally true. However I think you may have been too hasty and literal in this case. 1) The "blog" cited is under control of the subject himself and 2) the newsletter cited is a Wikipedia newsletter explaining how Wikipedia uses his Hierarchy. I have also added a source from The Guardian. When it comes to WP:GUNREL sources we can use them provided, "...The source may still be used for uncontroversial self-descriptions, and self-published or user-generated content authored by established subject-matter experts is also acceptable." Given these arguments I'm not seeing where the sourcing is so deficient as to warrant removal.
Given some admin's using Graham's Hierarchy to set discussion tone (see User talk:Beeblebrox) it would be a shame to keep this out. If you still disagree I suggest that we start a discussion on the Paul Graham talk page and invite other editors to join in. Best regards, Blue Riband► 01:18, 28 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

I think Paul Graham is an established expert on programming, but psychology stuff? I think it's fine to use the diagram in a Wikipedia policy page, but not in his biography. The Guardian source is a bit small to make it warrant an entire section. I am still in favor of removing it here. PhotographyEdits (talk) 17:12, 31 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

On 7 January 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Letter to the American People, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a letter to the American people allegedly written by Osama bin Laden has been cited as an example of online youth radicalization? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Letter to the American people. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Letter to the American People), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello PhotographyEdits,

 

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

 

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

I am not a native speaker, but this redirect seems wrong, grammatically. Do you mind expanding on your reasoning for not deleting it? JackTheSecond (talk) 22:00, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

If it is incorrect then "editorially independent" might the correct version. Might be good to request a review to double check, but speedy deletion is the wrong way to handle it. :) PhotographyEdits (talk) 22:09, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hm, I must have misunderstood something about 'unlikely spelling mistakes' qualifying for speedy, the criterion specifies 'recent creation' after all--though I think that might be because of links to a page that has been around. ~ I think I'm just going to move the page to the correct spelling. JackTheSecond (talk) 13:07, 9 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

... Actually, moving the page would just create another redirect page, no?

Where does one 'request a review'? Do I open an AfD for this? Seems like a waste of editors' time to me. JackTheSecond (talk) 13:11, 9 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello PhotographyEdits. I see you have recently started a draft Article-for-creation on GlobalPlatform. This is an organisation I have interest in and was surprised to see it doesn't have a page. Can you let me know your plans with this as I may be able to assist. I am not an experienced Wiki editor so not certain on the etiquette for contributing to someone's draft article. Look forward to hearing from you. Matt611 (talk) 13:16, 8 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes, please add more info but please do not use any press releases from GlobalPlatform. You can freely add more info based on academic sources, but keep it non-promotional. It will require some more bureaucracy compared to the normal article creation process, because it deleted multiple times. But I think the organization is notable and should have an article.

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

The article Lenovo ThinkPad W700 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

not notable for separate article

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
