AfC question

Hi Chicdat - just saw your note on the AfC request for "2024 Republican Presidential primaries." Given, at some point in the next four years, that standalone page will be created, I was wondering what standard is used to judge whether it is ready for creation at any specific time. As in, how will an editor know the time is appropriate to migrate the page from its current home on 2024 US Presidential Election to a new, standalone page?

Thanks!

Owen

Have you got a reason for not wishing to present the updated 1-min winds from the JTWC in the infobox? BTW You still need to work on that MH - even more so now that the JTWC has presented their BT and called it subtropical in the latter parts of its life. Jason Rees (talk) 13:56, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

:I'm sorry. I sincerely thought that the BoM was the primary TCWC in the Australian region. However, yes I will improve Owen. See that I am adding the advisories? πŸ” Chicdat  Bawk to me! 14:01, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

::The BoM are indeed the primary TCWC but we include the JTWC's information and their 1-min winds, as they are a notable warning centre who even used to name tropical cyclones. Yes I have seen that you have added some of the JTWC advisories in.Jason Rees (talk) 14:25, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

:::I should note that the BoM and the majority of the RSMC/TCWC's use 10 min winds, the IMD uses 3-min winds, while the JTWC & NHC use 1-min winds.Jason Rees (talk) 14:32, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Ayana Evans - New York Times article, what else?

Hi Chicdat! Thanks for reviewing my submission on Ayana Evans. I had it reviewed by another user in the Teahouse who helped me reorganize and add more sources. They thought it merited publishing and helped me move it out from the draft to published - if this was malpractice I am sorry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ayana_Evans

A note on sources: Currently, the New York Times feature (which is SOLELY about the artist) is the most notable source, in addition, I have listed top tier art publications (Artnet, Hyperallergic) and a number of blogazines where the artist is mentioned. In addition to important awards and conferences, and museum exhibitions she has participated in an upcoming book and her position at Brown University.

I appreciate you reviewing this as you are specialized in women in the arts and I know that it is hard for them to met Wikipedia's criterias and want to help change that!

To the point: What specifically is missing? Should I cite her only as an artist (which sources strengthen) and not an educator? PLease give me some direction.

Thanks for your help!

ADDED: Thanks Chicdat for your swift response and feedback during this process. Cheers to more female artists on Wikipedia and wiki community members like yourself keeping submission quality high! Matriarch-info (talk) 13:30, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Owen

I made a mistake. I shouldn't have recommended Jason Rees, who is tough on you regarding Cyclone Owen. I want to let you know that LightandDark2000, who I just nominated for MoTM and it is likely going to win it, is willing to give a help. He came back from WPTC inactivity recently, and he's nice. I even pinged him, but I removed that ping once I saw you taking back your statement. MarioJump83! 11:39, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi chicdat I wanted to bawk to you about my cool article I'm working on

Hi chicdat I wanted to bawk to you about this cool article I'm working on.

back in 2005 I tried to create articles sometimes.

It has been a while since I did that.

I couldn't believe there was not a Wikipedia article about the traditional religious song, "This World Is Not My Home."

I think it would be fun to write a good one.

I would love to see it grow. it'd also be fun to see if others can help it grow.

I just feel like I'd love to read a good article about it and there is a lot that is interesting about it to me.

can I bawk to you about ways to make it better?

:Sure, you're welcome to bawk to me all you want. Anyway, let's think about the page first. Most song articles at least have some sections. It might not be so much not notable as "too short, not enough references". For instance, you should add a "Lyrics" section. Readers probably do not know the lyrics. You might also find it useful to have a "History" section, which would include most of what you've already worked on. Also useful would be a "See also" section which would link to related pages. Do that, and I (or another reviewer) will be sure to accept it! πŸ” Chicdat  Bawk to me! 11:30, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

[[Draft:Andre Waismann]]

Hello, Chikdat! Thank you for reviewing the draft for Dr. Andre Waismann I've been working on. Please advice as some of your requests are not clear to me As to the citations tags, I totally understand and I will work on adding additional sources or removing poorly confirmed info. But this message is obscure to me: "This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject." Could you please, detail, which parts are not neutral? I basically listed the facts without using any words related to emotional characteristics. Or did you mean the same information that wasn't properly cited? אור Χ€ (talk) 10:01, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

:I can't find any at all anymore. You should resubmit it. Since technically I'm now WP:INVOLVED, I won't review it again, but I'm sure someone else will.

Deniz Unay

Hi chicdat

I spoke with experienced editors on the Wikipedia online support chat page. I took all necessary warnings into consideration and reviewed my source links.

Creating a wikipedia page is really difficult and confusing for a living person.

But if you study the article

Government agencies

Science article references

National and International news agencies and resources

Non-governmental organizations

In addition, when Deniz UNAY's works in many fields are searched on google, the results

Assign a lot of work and living in Turkey also signed article published nearly one in 15 languages

I hope you will re-examine it taking into account all my efforts

then corrected back

i hope this is a mistake

I went to the Wikipedia support chat page regarding the latest status of the article, unfortunately, no one helped.

Hi

today https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deniz_Unay

My article has been approved I want to say the following about the article

I have been working on this article for more than 4 months

I took into account all rejections and also got information and support from editors in wikipedia support chat

You can see developments on this subject on the Talk Page

In addition, the other day, this article was rejected in the form of a copy, and this error was corrected, now the article has been unfairly deleted.

There is no charge for this article

I don't know how to defend myself on this issue

I also added the best resources about Deniz UNAY, if you look at google searches, dozens of valuable resources can be found.

Please don't be so cruel and unfair

I hope you can help

:Yes, but after enough resubmissions, it eventually comes to the point where the draft is rejected. By the time this happens, usually all hope is lost of the draft becoming an article. I can think of one rejected draft that became an article: Medical Women's Association of Nigeria.

Your decline of Roger Baxter-Jones

{{atop|reason=I am not reviewing AfC submissions anymore. πŸ” Chicdat  Bawk to me! 12:56, 8 March 2021 (UTC)}}

Hi Chicdat, thanks for reviewing my draft of Roger Baxter-Jones. I have reasonable experience in creating pages and am quite active on AfD discussions so am familiar with what is required, so I was surprised that you declined to publish the page, given it squarely satisfies WP:GNG. I appreciate the workload you'll be under so understand why you provided only a template explanation for your reasons, but the draft indeed includes 5 "significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject", including a scholarship in his name at one of the world's most reputable (ie notable) mountaineering associations. The subject existed prior to the internet so sources are limited but those cited are completely satisfactory. Could I ask you to please reconsider or provide more reasoning? Thanks in advance, Cabrils (talk) 04:20, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

I know I pinged you to this discussion, but since I didn't want to get too off-topic there I just thought I'd say that if you see obvious voting in the "wrong" section, it's generally better/easier to just move it to the correct section rather than essentially striking their vote (or as a third option, ping the user on the talk page and let them know they need to move it).

[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Timeline of the 2021 Pacific hurricane season]]

File:Ambox warning pn.svg

A tag has been placed on :Timeline of the 2021 Pacific hurricane season requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

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.

Wikibreak Enforcer

You know why I edited your user talk page while my Wikibreak Enforcer is still on - I deactivated JavaScript. This is the trick that Hurricane Noah used to revert his Wikibreak Enforcer. I am not going to do so, as I am planning to continue my wikibreak. Regarding why I decided to log in on this day, this is because I want to help BrownieKing to complete the Draft:Typhoon Vernon (1993), as I did with Cyclone Sarai. That's just a little tip I can tell you about if you happen to be on a wikibreak and decided to go off from wikibreak earlier. I'm going to activate my JavaScript and logging out once more. By the way, you can complete the adopt page without me. When I come back in May 1, I will check. Thanks, MarioJump83! 11:24, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Greetings, {{User|Chicdat}} !

Previously you declined the draft of an article I suggested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Qrator.Radar. I did my best to re-write the draft in a neutral style, living out everything that could be even slightly considered a peacock language you referred to. Once again, I revised the sources and made sure only independent, reliable, and public sources are present in the references.

If, in your opinion, the current draft of an article is still not good enough, could you please help me with making it more encyclopedic or at least tell me how I could try again to make it better to comply with the Wikipedia standards and rules.

Thank you for your time and effort,

Short descriptions

Hi, thanks for your efforts to add short descriptions to articles that are missing them. I don't know if you've seen the discussion here? Based on the responses so far, you might want to avoid using the word "disambiguation", as it's felt not to be well understood outside the Wikipedia editor community, and hence not appropriate as a short description.

A separate issue is that surname pages are not considered to be dabs at all, and definitely shouldn't have a short description that describes them as such. Surname pages mostly have the short description "Surname list" already, which is created automatically from the {{t|Surname}} template. You can see it if you're using the Shortdesc helper gadget. The existing wording is fine and doesn't need to be changed. An editor has reverted many of your recent changes on that basis, so you should stop work on that particular task. Regards, MichaelMaggs (talk) 14:05, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

:{{re|MichaelMaggs}} Thanks. (When I came up today and saw eighty-two notifications, I was thinking, have I been blocked or ANI'd or something?) Yes, I'm almost always bold in my edits, which leads to a lot of people reverting me. I've enabled shortdesc helper - and made three thousand edits with it - so I see that it was automatically added, but is it okay if I change it to 'Wikipedia list article'? πŸ” Chicdat  Bawk to me! 10:12, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

::{{u|Chicdat}}, not for surname articles, as the consensus seems to be that the existing default of "Surname list" is best - which it what it already says in most cases based on the {{t|Surname}} template.

::

::If you wanted to work on adding SDs to articles (and I strongly recommend it!) you could try [https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=18227292 this Petscan search] for level 5 vital articles that are missing a SD. Where it says "Wikipedia:Vital articles/Level/5/Mathematics", change "Mathematics" to any other section listed at Wikipedia:Vital articles/Level/5 that interests you.

::

::If you're looking at a page with no Wikipedia short description, the Short description helper will show you instead the Wikidata version. You can tell it's Wikidata not Wikipedia as it gives you an "Import" option next to it. If that looks OK you can just import it, but often the text can be improved, in which case use "Edit and import". See WP:HOWTOSD for advice on writing a good SD. The best place to ask/discuss ideas is at the Wikiproject Short descriptions talk page. Thanks for working in this area! MichaelMaggs (talk) 11:16, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
