Admin coaching

[edit]

Still need a coach? Firsfron of Ronchester 21:03, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deryck, thanks for your note. I'm an available admin coach, if you're interested. Do you have an admin coaching section set up? Best wishes, Firsfron of Ronchester 22:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deryck, thanks for the message. Sorry that I can't be much help to you right now, as I'm only on very sporadically. I suggest you continue to find new admin coaches, and if the coaching is still active when I get back more permanently, then I'll try to help. Best of luck to you. Eric (EWS23) 16:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your offer. I'm happy to receive it if you are available. My previous coaching records can be found at User talk:Deryck Chan/Admin coaching. Thanks! --Deryck C. 08:44, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I've commented on your admin coaching page. I'll try to keep a close watch on it, and you do the same, ok? :) Firsfron of Ronchester 16:53, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, seems I misunderstood something over at the AC page. [1] From your coaching page, it looks like you have a coach, and your coaching is going just fine. Do you have any concerns? --Fang Aili talk 15:55, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DYK!

[edit]
Updated DYK query On 16 January, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article East Kowloon Corridor, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

HKCOTM

[edit]

Hi there, thanks for your comment on my talk page. The HKCOTM and WikiProject Hong Kong is supposed to be a revival of the Hong Kong Wikipedians Noticeboard and its' subsets. I've moved the previous nominees over to the revived effort. Thanks again for noting my brief oversight.
PS. I miss Hong Kong. :) Luke! 19:25, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

East Kowloon Corridor

[edit]

Thanks for putting the picture of East Kowloon Corridor onto the main page! I'm surprised to see that too. ^^ BTW are you from Hong Kong? that "Lai", if anything, looks like a Chinese surname under the Hong Kong transliteration scheme. --Deryck C. 13:01, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome, Deryck. I needed a replacement pic. Image:East Kowloon Corridor.jpg happened to be already protected. Easy choice for me. :-)
Yes, I grew up in HongKong. I left many years ago. Kowloon Peninsula was much "thinner" back then. :-) Thank you for your articles about HK. They bring back some good old memories.
Good Luck at the HKCEE. Cheers. --PFHLai 16:13, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DYK self-nom

[edit]

I think the idea of listing "self-nom" is to assure that both the article and the nominator get a DYK notice for their "stamp collection. House of Scandal 08:21, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: "Nerds"

[edit]

No problem at all. It's sometimes difficult to diagnose another person's tone in such an impersonal medium, so maybe I overreacted your statement - and for that I apologize. It's just really easy for a little misunderstanding like this to turn a friendly debate into an all out war, so I thought a friendly civility reminder might defuse things (which, indeed, it has). In the future, when responding to editors with whom you haven't interacted before, perhaps you can use a lighter tone or append smileys (or something like that, to indicate your tone is light) to avoid future misunderstandings. Have a good day! ATren 16:19, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I probably overreacted with the references to CIVIL and NPA. I've been involved in some disputes lately so I may have seen something that wasn't there. As for the smiley thing, I've seen it occasionally. It's not as common here as elsewhere, but people use them. Anyway, I'm glad we've worked it out. ATren 15:33, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: References

[edit]

Hi Deryck,

Nice talking to you too. Regarding sources, generally reliable sources are required to properly cite an article. WP:RS has a pretty good discussion about how to determine reliability. Overall, the first three sources you mention, dictionaries, university reference books and secondary school textbooks are probably decent sources. Each one should be evaluated against WP:RS, however; as I'm sure you know, not every school textbook is 100% factual!

Regarding self works, those should also be compared to WP:RS standards, and if they meet the muster then they can usually be included as well. However it generally helps to avoid conflict of interest concerns by bringing sources that you are connected to personally to some sort of review first - I'd start by mentioning them on the article's talk page and waiting for other editors to comment. There are other ways to get more eyes on a topic too if needed, I can help you find those if you'd like, just let me know. --AbsolutDan (talk) 01:17, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing! While I admit I'm not the best at finding sources (which is why I generally don't write articles, I mostly do cleanup work), I can certainly help evaluate any sources you and others may find. Just post them to the article's talk page and drop me a line and i'll take a look. --AbsolutDan (talk)
Great work on finding those references! I just have mild concerns with some of them: the Associated Research, Electric Fence On-line and System Connection references. Those 3 are companies, and I'm not sure they qualify as reliable sources. Maybe the Associated Research one, as they seem to be a more solid and long-lived company. On the other hand, those are merely glossary links, so perhaps it's not as important as if they were full articles we were using as sources.
The Sorcerer Sound reference, on the other hand, does appear to be full articles, again written/affiliated with a company, and may constitute original research. They may have been written by employees of the company, not researchers in the field.
None of these references I'm concerned with are sufficiently problematic to warrant immediate removal however (in my opinion) - but it would be great if better sources could be found to replace them at some point.
Again, great work! --AbsolutDan (talk) 14:43, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh ok so it was published in a reliable source other than that website? --AbsolutDan (talk) 16:43, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
We're talking about 2 different definitions of original research then. Wikipedia's OR definition is "material that has not been published by a reliable source". See WP:OR for more info --AbsolutDan (talk) 17:18, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

TimVickers images on WP:IfD

[edit]

I nominated a number of images by User:TimVickers for deletion on January 29. None of them are being used in any articles, although a few have been superseded. I notified TimVickers of the nomination and his response on my Talk page was 'Delete away'.

I don't know enough about the images to know how valuable they would be in articles. If they could be useful in an encyclopedic context they should be kept, either by incorporating them into articles as you did with Phenylalanine hydroxylase last night or by moving them to the commons where they could be used by other language wikipedias as well.

I have seen your work on the Xylitol article, and get the feeling that you're much more competent than I am with this type of stuff. If you haven't already, could you look through the rest of the TimVickers nominations and see which could be valuable? I will support you on any that you think should be kept. ~ BigrTex 15:44, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford Road

[edit]

The problem with your DYK nom isn't that the road is named after Oxford, it is that you make a connection between Oxford University and the fact that Oxford Road has schools (in a similar vein we could try: "While Mars Bars are eaten by people who have been to space, the planet Mars is also in space"). If the road had been named after Oxford University and specifically chosen as the site of the schools for that reason, and there was a source to back up that claim, then we could use something similar. As it stands, both the nomination and the article make this erroneous connection (the article is actually worse, as the phrasing "Just like the University of Oxford, Oxford Road is home to many schools" suggests that Oxford University contains many schools). Yomanganitalk 13:03, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, my comment was probably a little short on explanation - I was just throwing in some quick comments as I went through the list. Yomanganitalk 13:35, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

B rating for Lam Tin

[edit]

HI Deryck

In my opinion it deserved a B. It won't be up to me to give a GA, you will have to nominate it for debate, and do something about any suggestions or criticisms. Its much easier than getting a FA rating - the article would gather plenty of criticism, everthing has to be perfect even things that you did not think of.

We should probably have a standard for what to include in regional articles, but you get an idea when you look at the best ones around.

One of my interests is geology, so I have added the rock (granite) found in Lam Tin.

My other suggestions are to get a free map to replace the one there - prehaps you have to draw it yourself or take a good photo. The first line appearance has to be tidied up as it has a big white space on my screen!

Yes, I understand. But Twinkle is not my design. The comment is automatically generated, something that I can't change without a good knowledge in computer things. I just think it is a good tool for fighting vandalism and so use it. :)--Fitzwilliam 09:30, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration - Instantnood 4

[edit]

I arent sure if the discussion should take place there at all [2], so I am transplanting it here as well for more in-depth discussion:

Before I give the full facts behind my stand, may I respond with regards to User:Deryck Chan's comment above.

If Deryck Chan's comments on my failure to act according to concensus is based on an example like Hong Kong Central Library, then I must point out that in such instances, it is almost always a case of Wikipedia:Consensus being pitted against Wikipedia:Verifiability. My primary contention is that the contributors to the said article has been unable to cite any reliable, non-self-published source, nor any official government document supporting views as advanced by the "majority", practically all of whom where Hong Kongers and thus with vested interests on the said topic. Not to say local knowledge or community concensus are unimportant, and nor am I comfortable with the idea of pitting one policy against another, but in all past disputes I have been invovled in, Wikipedia:Verifiability has always prevailed over Wikipedia:Consensus, unless I have interpreted this wrong all along. I hope someone can enlighten me if the later is true.

May I also refer to his suggestion that I was wikistalking his edits. I do hope he may provide some evidence for this allerged behavior.--Huaiwei 15:45, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Please respond to the above here if you wish. Thank you.--Huaiwei 15:49, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Communist47's RFA

[edit]

After "I wouldn't mind participating in the extraction of this syrup." I stopped believing that it was a real RfA. After the RfA ran for a few minutes somebody suggested it should be speedy closed, which I did. At this point I have no doubt the user it just trolling (trying to pick a fight with the user that stuck up for me at ER?). BJTalk 12:17, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I thought as well, that is why I opposed with a joke and closed it. BJTalk 12:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Reply to self... This is a case of a user know what he is doing and making a joke or really believes what he is saying. I think and hope it is the former. BJTalk 12:25, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have no problem with a joke in a RfA but in this case the whole thing was a joke and no longer served its purpose. BJTalk 12:27, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is probably best as it is getting them from a sub-standard source (users that don't know how or why to list IfDs). I rarely more than glance at the noms as I spend most image work with fair use orphans. I'm running the bot right now to give you something to comment on (cron job not working yet).

Audrey Eu

[edit]

I am not aware that Audrey Eu called herself the 'house leader', because it is indeed very misleading, as no other HK political party uses it. The only 'house leader' understood by the average reader is that of the Western system, i.e. parliament leader. If you can clear this up on her biographical page, then that would be the best compromise of all - and of course, if possible, cite an instance where a formal source has actually referred to her as a house Leader???

Yeh rite another problem. Does the verifiability rule apply to categorization? --Deryck C. 05:56, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, especially if the categorization is something controversial. If there is a category which cannot be verified (ie, unverifiable,) it should be removed. However, make sure the category really is unverifyable, not just unverified. Footnotes, obviously, cannot be added to a category tag. Without knowing which category or categories are troubling you, I can't give more specific advice. As for my "new" coachee, he is user:Fabrib, but I've been working with him for a while. He's been awfully quiet lately. Maybe I should check in with him... Best wishes, Firsfron of Ronchester 22:59, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hong Kong isn't a nation, so I'd be careful putting it into any sort of category like that. If there are sources which claim it is a national library, those can be used to support the proposed category, but since this addition is highly controversial, the talk page is the place to discuss the changes (providing your sources, of course).

Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Assistance request

[edit]

Looking at Lam Tin, it actually looks to be in pretty decent shape (certainly far better than most location articles we've got around here.) If what you want is some more eyes on the article, there are several steps you can take. You can always bring it up with the relevant Wikiproject (in this case, WP:HK), and you also may wish to see if WP:CHINA would help, to get some more eyeballs. To involve the community at large, you can ask for a peer review, or make a listing on the article improvement drive. (Even if your article isn't actually the winner at article improvement, just having it listed there can bring a lot of eyeballs.) Good luck with it, you're doing a great job so far!

Geology of Hong Kong

[edit]

My apologies for interjecting myself into your discussion. As you two appear to be discussing a Geology of Hong Kong article (or similarly named), I'm inquiring as to whether such an article exists, as I am unable to locate an article by this name. The reason why I am asking is because a request to create a Geology of Hong Kong article has been filed with the WikiProject Hong Kong Article Requests. WPHK editors are currently trying to clear the backlog. Luke! 22:07, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for help with dispute

[edit]

Dear Deryck: Thank you for the good information on how to handle the dispute on the "Jat people" page. I will try to do this some time in the future. Am just too busy at the moment as I am in the process of doing the final editing of a book of mine for publication and am well behind schedule (as usual). :^) Cheers, John Hill 01:44, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
