Question from Mr.sandippaul (21:39, 14 July 2023)

Hello sir, an IP address is irritating me can you help me? --Sandip 21:39, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

@Idoghor Melody@Mr.sandippaul Well, FYI the editor whining here is WP:nothere for help so much as a she’s apparently trying to WP:Canvass you into enabling her WP:Editwars as of late to make egocentric WP:points.
With inappropriate, belligerent edits like this:
...it is abundantly obvious that @Mr.sandippaul is also WP:NOTHERE to constructively contribute to Wikipedia but rather treat it as her personal WP:battleground. If she’s “irritated” that it forces us to defend ourselves and the articles she targeting them perhaps the “help” she needs is a re-fresher on how to be WP:civil and step down from her WP:soapbox? Cheers y’all 2601:282:8100:32A0:486A:AF4C:A038:9930 (talk) 22:17, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
Why are you coming from multiple IPs? What happened to your previous IP? Was it banned or what? I never spoke in any inappropriate manner that is against the Wiki standard. I explained everything with facts. I don't know why you are targeting people who edited "The Flash." It looks like you have some issues with this film and its editors. You are coming with multiple IPs and trying to implement your own propaganda. to Sandip 05:28, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – September 2023

News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
  • A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that [s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment.

Technical news

Arbitration

  • The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged to note when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful.

Miscellaneous

  • Tech tip: The "Browse history interactively" banner shown at the top of Special:Diff can be used to easily look through a history, assemble composite diffs, or find out what archive something wound up in.

Thank you for the info. I think one of citations was self-published, sorry about that. I believe the rest of the sources are reliable but I don't want to resubmit if the issue has not been resolved. Please take another look, thank you. –Filmforme (talk) 21:59, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Question from Snarflakes (20:37, 11 September 2023)

Hi are pre-print biology resources valid? Or do they need to wait until they have been actually peer reviewed? This is the source in question. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.09.08.556914v1.full.pdf --Snarflakes (talk) 20:37, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Snarflakes, welcome here. Per WP:PREPRINT, Research that has not been peer-reviewed is akin to a blog, as anybody can post it online. Their use is generally discouraged, unless they meet the criteria for acceptable use of self-published sources. Comr Melody Idoghor (talk) 22:39, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Question from Ali omope (17:12, 20 September 2023)

Big boss, good day. You were assigned as my mentor. But let me first introduce myself as related to this field. I am writer and a music lover and analyst.

I am new to wiki edits, i joined few days ago and I have only been able to do few edits.

I went through your profile and i must say I cut cap for you. That is some great feat. I have few questions and curiosity which I believe you are my best bet. I will like to ask you concerning how to be better and improve.

Is there a way we can do easy communication, maybe WhatsApp, twitter or any place you find comfortable, i will be glad if you can assist me.

thanks brother, have a good day. --Ali omope (talk) 17:12, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Ali omope, welcome to Wikipedia. First of all, I'm not “Boss” or “Big Boss”, we're on the same level in this collaborative project. You can reach me on X with the handle @idoghormelody, there's a direct link too on my user page. Comr Melody Idoghor (talk) 19:02, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

New pages patrol newsletter

Hello Idoghor Melody,

New Page Review article queue, March to September 2023

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

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.

Request on 20:02:44, 22 September 2023 for assistance on AfC submission by Contemporary Mercurial


Hi Idoghor Melody,

My recent submission 'AFEX' was just rejected, with the reason being 'This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies'.

Are you able to provide specific instances where the submission reads like an advertisement, or where the references fall short? Most references are from independent, reliable, published sources such as The Guardian, Tech Cabal, Business DayNG, Financial Times, etc.

I believe this has been well-researched, and fair, and does not present the subject in a marginally superior light, so, I would really appreciate specific instances where the submission falls short of Wikipedia's standards, and implore you to read through again.

Thank you. CM. Contemporary Mercurial (talk) 20:02, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Contemporary Mercurial, welcome to Wikipedia. The explanation given in the decline message is very very clear. The article contains lots of promotions and promotional wordings, and they include, the "Business Subsidiary" section, the "Milestone and innovation" section, "Awards and Ranking" section and even statements like "AFEX provides market solutions for agricultural producers, processors, and investors along its commodity value chains by providing infrastructure and technology systems" are all promotional. Please do not submit again for review if not properly written. You should read this guild line titled Advertisements masquerading as articles and also learn how to write from a neutral point of view. It may seem like you have a relation with the company, do you? Comr Melody Idoghor (talk) 20:26, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi @Idoghor Melody,
Thank you for your feedback. No, I am not affiliated with the company. I asked for specific instances where the submission read as an advertisement because this is uncharted territory for me, and it would be helpful to understand where exactly the choice of words or tone falls short, especially because the sections you cited, particularly the 'Awards and Rankings' section, can be verified with the citations provided. I would hope that experienced editors such as yourself are here to help/provide context where necessary to newer editors like myself, and that's why I left you a message. Contemporary Mercurial (talk) 20:46, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi @Idoghor Melody,
I've just read through the article you shared on writing from a neutral point of view, and it was quite helpful. On reading through the submission, I can see where it can be improved upon. Thanks. CM Contemporary Mercurial (talk) 21:44, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Request on 23:02:43, 27 September 2023 for assistance on AfC submission by RandomFX


Hi Idoghor Melody, Thanks for reviewing this submission. I've cited RIAA (the Recording Industry Association of America) which is the sole body that issues platinum certifications. I've cited ASCAP (the largest Performing Rights Organization which represents songwriters). I've cited Pitchfork (a premiere music magazine in America). Can you explain why these sources don't meet Wikipedia:Reliable sources?

As far as I can tell, Scott Bruzenak may be the only Billboard multi-platinum producer without a Wikipedia page -- I spent 45 minutes just trying to figure out who produced Daya - Hide Away and Daya - Sit Still Look Pretty which charted at #6 and #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. If there was a Wikipedia page for Scott Bruzenak/Noisecastle iii it would have been much easier to figure out.

Thanks and have a great day, RandomFX

RandomFX (talk) 23:02, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi @RandomFX. The sources added in the article did not prove the subject is notable. The first and second source did not seem to meet WP:SIGCOV as the subject was mentioned just once in both sources. Infact, non of the sources is majorly about the subject of the article. An article should be supported by multiple reliable sources, so that informations can be verified.

GreenLaunch: Submission declined on 11 October 2023 by Idoghor Melody

Hi Idoghor Melody,

Thanks for quickly reviewing my submission. I haven't posted to wikipedia much, but when I saw there wasn't a reference for GreenLaunch I figured I might give it a try. I'm super into space cannons, so I thought it would be cool if there was more easily available information. Could you explain why the articles I referenced don't qualify green launch as notable? The articles I referenced seem more reliable than those used for the quick launch wikipedia page too who are mostly by the founder anyway. It makes sense to me that threshold be a page about green launch since there's one about the other two major space cannon companies. Thanks. SolHando (talk) 03:50, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi @SolHando. Your article was declined because some of the sources are not reliable sources, even one of them is a YouTube source.

Hello @RoyRodriguezEscultor, welcome to Wikipedia. Before starting a new article...

In short, the topic of an article must have already been the subject of publication in reliable, secondary, entirely independent sources that treat the topic in substantive detail. They might be books, newspapers, magazines, peer-reviewed scholarly journals and similarly high-quality websites.
  • Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article.
