Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:WikiProject List of Television Episodes

A tag has been placed on Category:WikiProject List of Television Episodes requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Need for controlled samples to support audience response claims

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nemov requested controlled samples to support audience responses  for Rian Johnson, see below, so for consistency we must apply it to all other living US directors.


Do you have any controlled samples to support your claims? Those will be necessary to make any changes. The reality is there's no real data to support your argument. - Nemov (talk) 23:57, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Marcel Tétu

Hello Kingboyk I understand that you have deleted my article for I have been inactive for a long time do to life getting in the way, and also forgetting my password and being to lazy to change it and write it down.

However I now have new found energy and time along with a brand new computer that has inspired to continue with this career. If it does not bother you I would be grateful if you restored my article titled Marcel Tétu so I can fix what needs to be done and have it follow the guidelines needed. I apologize I did not notice this notification in the six months I had but it would mean the world to me if you could restore my draft so I may review it.

Pramod Ratan Patil

Hello, I want to ask you about the deletion of Pramod Ratan Patil. I believe the reason given by the proposer was that this article failed WP:POLITICIAN as he hadn't been elected to a seat. I think this is an incorrect rationale as he was elected in the 2019 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election to the Kalyan Rural (Vidhan Sabha constituency) seat which I believe was stated in the article. This would imply presumed notability ("The following are presumed to be notable: Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or sub-national (e.g., province- or state-wide) office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels. This also applies to people who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them." Based on this could you review your deletion decision please? Thanks - QuiteUnusual (talk) 11:54, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello QuiteUnusual - the rationale was given by the person who proposed deletion; I then delete if nobody has objected and the request looks reasonable: "A nominated page is marked for at least seven days; if nobody objects, it is considered by an uninvolved administrator, who reviews the page and may delete it or may remove the PROD tag."
You might want to talk to the nominator (Jikaoli Kol) about the notability issue.
In the meantime, I'm quite happy to restore the article for you. Requests for undeletion of articles which have gone through the Proposed deletion process are normally made at WP:REFUND but this time I'll log your request there on your behalf and get it processed. Cheers. --kingboyk (talk) 15:31, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I was asking you first before taking it to WP:REFUND in case you were aware of anything I wasn't (as I can't see the deleted page). Thanks for confirming - QuiteUnusual (talk) 16:24, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
QuiteUnusual: No worries. Sorry if I told you a bunch of stuff you already know and/or omitted the information you actually wanted, I was on my first coffee of the day :) --kingboyk (talk) 16:29, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

no one owns it, and the scope and intention of the article has been narrowed. JarrahTree 05:40, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Franziska Meissner-Diemer page

Hello, You deleted Franziska Meissner-Diemer page citing lack of notability. I think that was unjustified. I found the Page's subject from Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red. When I created it, I didn't know anything about the subject so I decided to do some research on it first and then add more info and citations to it. At least, you should have discussed it with me first. Lightbluerain (talk) 08:12, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Lightbluerain: Hello, and thanks for the message. The article was speedily deleted upon the request of another editor, who left a message on your talk page. Speedy deletion is exactly as the name suggests; if admins waited to discuss every speedy deletion request the system would grind to a halt.
The page was deleted under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it was article about a real person and not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant. The presence of the article on a WikiProject's list (however admirable the WikiProject is) is not a free pass against demonstrating importance, I'm afraid. For this reason, it is better to start a new article in the Draft namespace or in your sandbox until such time as it suitable to be in the main article namespace. Please refer to Wikipedia:Articles for creation.
That said, in this particular case, it may have been better if the article had been moved to the Draft space by the nominator or myself, so that you could continue to work on it, rather than be deleted. I will undelete it and move it to the Draft namespace. --kingboyk (talk) 17:21, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fred Opert Draft

Thank you for your help with this page. I was about to give up before you arrived. The photo has been a problem. The photo I got from Opert's sister was not taken by her so its ownership is difficult to prove. Now, with your help, the article is looking acceptable I will go through the photo rules and concentrate on that. Did you format the page for me? (Thanks!) By the way, how do I link to/from the other multiple mentions of Opert on Wikipedia? Peter.R.Hill (talk) 20:14, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Peter.R.Hill: Hi Peter, good to meet you! I'm so pleased to hear that my intervention stopped you from giving up. I hope the work is not in vain (I think it won't be; I can't see how any reviewer could reasonably reject the draft again).
Yes, I have done some work on the formatting for you, and some minor copy editing. You can see all of the changes on the History tab.
Don't worry about links to Fred's page - I have already taken care of that by searching for his name on Wikipedia and then adding the links. Please see my message at Draft_talk:Fred_Opert#Redirects. We have 6 inbound links to Fred Opert, and 29 incoming links to Fred Opert Racing! If you find any other articles which mention Fred or his team which are not on those lists of incoming links, just edit the article which mentions Fred and add a link (just one link) to either Fred Opert or Fred Opert Racing. It's as simple as that.
Once the article is live, I'll make a redirect from Fred Opert Racing to Fred Opert, so that if somebody clicks on Fred Opert Racing they will get taken to the article about Fred.
If there is a Wikipedia article which should mention Fred or his team and it doesn't (i.e. it's not on one of those lists of incoming links), edit the article which should mention Fred or his team to add the information (and include a citation if possible). Link to Fred Opert or Fred Opert Racing as described above.
Now, with regards to the photo, if you are in contact with Fred's sister perhaps you can ask her for a photo she is willing to donate which was taken by one of her family members? Maybe there is an official photo from Fred's team, ownership of which would have passed to whoever inherited his estate (maybe his sister)? I'm sure something can be sorted out if Fred's sister is willing.
Please let me know if you need clarification on any of the above or if you need any further help. --kingboyk (talk) 20:32, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
