Support request with team editing experiment project

edit

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.

NHRP detaggables

edit

So, I ended up here: User:The Anome/NHRP detaggables because of this redirect, Skeleton Cave Massacre Site. I recently created Skeleton Cave (Arizona), and when I was linking other pages to the article, I found the detaggables page. In scanning your list, I came across Work, John, House and Mill Site which I then linked to John Work House and Mill Site which has existed since 2006.

It occurred to me that there may be a number of pages already in existence, but since they are not formatted the same as what's on this page, they aren't being identified as being done. I'm trying to think on how to solve this problem. --evrik (talk)

 

The article Punk Bunny Coffee has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article reads like an advertisement, and I can barely find any sources following the name change.

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.

California county categories

edit

Hi The Anome, glad to see the bot is back! It looks like the bot is set to add counties for California geocoordinate requests (example). However, these subcategories were deleted as no longer needed earlier this year, as the backlog has been reduced to almost nothing through the hard work of some editors. Could you adjust the bot so that it just leaves the articles in Category:California articles missing geocoordinate data and doesn't add counties? Many thanks, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 07:35, 25 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've just used the bot to take a look at its last 500 writes of county-level California coord-missing tags, and it looks like other editors have already cleaned things up. I've modified the bot scripts so it won't generate any more of these in the future. — The Anome (talk) 15:49, 25 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

No worries. I was going to let you know about the county-level categories having been deleted once I was done cleaning up redlinked categories, but when I came here to do that I saw that Pi had already let you know. Wasn't too many pages, thankfully; this run of WantedCategories was longer than usual, but the California county categories weren't the primary culprit in that, so it wasn't too big of a deal. Bearcat (talk) 15:59, 25 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Bearcat@The Anome: Thanks to both of you! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 17:57, 25 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

New merge/notability discussion at Brian Thompson (businessman)

edit

Hello there! I noticed you recently participated in a discussion of a requested move for the article Brian Thompson (businessman). That discussion was closed without an ultimate consensus decision for procedural reasons. There is a new discussion open on the article talk page, and all participants in the prior move discussion are encouraged to participate. Thank you! FlipandFlopped 22:32, 8 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

It's really improper to drag you through the mud on the talk page, I apologise.

edit

I've looked at it from the third person about the "Trump is Hitler" stuff and I realise you're very righteously concerned about my appearance of impropriety when it comes to creating redirects. I'd like to explain here and continue my line of reasoning, since I've gone and meandered about my business on the wrong place to be making a point.

When I go about on article pages, I usually write phrases about the subjects. When a phrase that I write strikes me, such as "the Israelis are committing genocide", I like to think about it a bit. "Could that be a {{R from search term}}?", I ask myself. In any case, I think letting myself write naturally and to notice myself writing naturally, allows me to practise a method of trying to understand terms people might search for on Google, so they can be directed to a relevant part of the encyclopedia.

The appearance of impropriety makes it look like I'm creating content to prove a point, when in reality I'm only meaning to be thoughtful enough to put myself in their shoes. Now, look at that. I wonder if that term, "put myself in their shoes" might work well as a WP:SOFTREDIRECT to the Wiktionary entry put oneself in someone's shoes? Do you sort of understand how I'm thinking here? BarntToust 15:18, 9 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

And hey presto, there is now a soft redirect at that target. BarntToust 15:25, 9 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'd also like to give my thanks to you for your over 20 years of helping out the encyclopedia. It's always a treat to meet dedicated folks on this site who truly care about bringing knowledge to the world. BarntToust 15:28, 9 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of List of London nightclubs

edit

Hello, The Anome

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Bastun, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, List of London nightclubs, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:

  1. Edit the page
  2. Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
  3. Click the Publish changes button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Bastun}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
