• '99- well that's just great isn't it- you're allowed to give regusers badges etc but not allowed to take down our spam?! ;)

English invasion of Scotland (1400)

I'm ready to take a GA Review on (told you I would be able to get to it after the 11th...) if you're willing to nom it again. Shearonink (talk) 05:10, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

I don't understand why all the fuss over the infobox there. I wasn't canvassed. I feel like I must be missing some context. Toddst1 (talk) 20:26, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Is it your intention to bother as many people as you can with this this bullshit? Cassianto^Talk 20:53, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Fortuna, it looks like there is a bigger problem there with the infoboxes that I wasn't aware of. I've thanked Irie for the context. Toddst1 (talk) 23:20, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

The Three Revelations

I don't think they are long for the world, but we will see. Thanks for the redactions. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:41, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Well that didn't take long. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Revation Systems -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:50, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Ad O- I saw your TP remark, and agree that it would be unnecessarilly harsh to AfD them immediately; on the other hand, the longer they were allowed in mainspace in the same condition they were deleted, the less motivation for them to be improved. Also, it might be an object lesson in what it precisely is that we object to. Cheers, O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 15:57, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Oswag

Not sure if you're getting at the fact it could be considered an impersonation of Oshwah? I'm torn as the username is very similar, but I'm 99% sure that we'll see continued disruption after the current block expires which will make the impersonation moot -- Samtar ^{talk · contribs} 13:44, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Aww[1]

Damn, I was going to link to WP:SARCASM and now you've cost me my chance; Please read WP:SARCASM - it's a great humorous essay and also relevant here. Good advice that should always be followed to the letter. Mr rnddude (talk) 16:39, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes. Doing that would be sooo useful. I mean reeeeally useful.

That's really rather clever. Well done Mastcell! Sorry to spike your guns Mr rndude there. Feel free to revert me. O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 16:43, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Nah, I hopped on the back of your comment and a slightly modified version of the comment [2]. I rate it a 11/10 on the useful comments scale. I added some genuine content as well. It's not the first post of their I've called out today, see their post and my response here Cheers, Mr rnddude (talk) 16:48, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

No worries

Thanx for the clarity here:[3] Don't sweat it. :) Also, if you weren't aware, the user who made a stink of this in the first place named TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) was a disruptive WP:NOTHERE who had just been indeffed TBANNED from editing political pages [4]. That decision was based upon serious violations of policy for, among other things, misrepresenting others like he did on that page and gaming the system. So whether your revert took that into account or not, good instincts on your part ;) Also, thank you for page protecting the article. Less likely he can use a sock or anon tactic to vandalize the page, etc. Take it easy! P.S. When I get home, I will try to make time and log into my account and thank you more properly (I try to stay away from unknown IPs when I'm out and about, to protect my account, etc.) TTFN 174.29.180.252 (talk) 18:16, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Accusation of refactoring comments.

I was restoring the comments. The other user refactored my comments as shown here. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Bernard_Lee&diff=760052452&oldid=760052211 Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 18:50, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Oh dear, I'm guilty! Emir of Wikipedia, I was removing a discussion from your talk page to Bernard Lee's talk page as you were forcing a link to your talk page for people to go and read the pointless discussion before they participated in the actual fuc... oops, nearly, actual discussion on the Bernard Lee talk page. ...oh, happy editing! Cassianto^Talk 19:02, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

I am thankful for you admitting to being guilty, however I think we should just move on from these misunderstandings and actually discuss if the infobox should be included or not. No need to go to ANI, or refactor anybody comments, or accuse them of sockpuppetry. Merely discuss if we think an infobox should be used in that article .Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 19:05, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

This is worse than pulling teeth...just go to the fucking talk page! Cassianto^Talk 19:06, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

I am willing to go to the talk page of the subject in question, but I would prefer it if you actually discuss it there and don't mess with my talkpage. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 19:10, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Antonia San Juan is a trans woman/

Lynn Conway listed Antonia San Juan as a successful trans woman. Lynn Conway is a very notable transgender scholar. So this reference is an enough reliable source. --TGpower (talk) 13:08, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Dear TGpower, I'm sure are right. I'm sure Conway has and San Juan is. But Wikipedia requires a reliable, third party, independent source for this. Everything, no matter how potentially controversial, in a biography of a living person needs such sourcing- and I think you'll agree, such an addition as you wish to make has the potential to be controversial. Sadly so; but thus is the ways of this world. Does the information not get mentioned in any texts, papers, books, newspapers (as examples of what might be acceptable sources), at all? Thanks for the reach out. O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 13:33, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Enjoyed the discussion at Talk:John Beaumont, 1st Viscount Beaumont

Heh, I tried to add some supporting references but, not having your sources at hand, couldn't do as good a job. Shearonink (talk) 16:39, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Phew...

Thanks. Lourdes 12:57, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

@Lourdes: I think you were absolutely right. It's not over yet though; have you seen his request to get his TP fully proteceted fro 'trolls'? Or, this which is an attempt to move his TP to a sandbox.. and then requesting it to be speedied? Unfortunately, I think we have a large portion of WP:IDHT here, with a side of WP:CIR. _Muffled ^Pocketed 13:03, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Yes. I agree. Has spent quite some time on Wikipedia though. So it's surprising...especially as the editor put up a note at the Optional Rfa poll wishing to apply... Hope the editor gets clue soon. But hey, thanks again for pinging Sarah. Lourdes 13:05, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

I suspect that the editor may be young, or non-English-native, even if he has been around for 6 years. --Izno (talk) 13:10, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

@Izno: That could be the case; until Lourdes mentioned it just there, I hadn't checked their stats and did indeed assume it was someone too young, as it were, for the job. The OPRC definitely explains why he tried to erase all trace of that discussion though. _Muffled ^Pocketed 13:17, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

I think the ORCP is what spurred the closures, actually. --Izno (talk) 13:24, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Izno To get a bit of admin-work under the belt? -I think that may have misfired, then! _Muffled ^Pocketed 13:26, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Interjection

For all your info, I am not "young" and a British citizen born and bred and have spent six years of my life constructively editing here. I respectfully ask for all of your cooperation and kindfully ask that you all desist from stalking me any further. Thankyou. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi The move of one of my old userpages (note: I used to edit under the name od Nordic Dragon) is unrelated to this issue. Feel free to contact user:Jo-Jo Eumerus for clarification. Nordic Nightfury 13:31, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your message here Nordic Nightfury; such a willingness to communicate might have worked wonders earlier. _Muffled ^Pocketed 13:36, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: Please clarify you have read and understood the above statement that I have sent you, I kindly ask you to strike a comment that you have made. Nordic Nightfury 13:38, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

I'm not sure to which comment you are referring to. But, since you delight in calling other editors 'trolls' at the drop of a hat, I think we both know the answer to that. _Muffled ^Pocketed

Thanks for the edit-conflict. A) You don't need to ping me on my own TP, I will get a message alert anyway, and B) your ping would not in any case work, as it was added separately to the time-stamp. Many thanks. _Muffled ^Pocketed 13:45, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

"Or, this which is an attempt to move his TP to a sandbox.. and then requesting it to be speedied?". As I said above, it is unrelated to this issue, if you care to read the page history. Nordic Nightfury 13:48, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

The page that you keep trying to fully-protect? The one that you keep removing comments from half through a discussion? _Muffled ^Pocketed 13:53, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

No, the one I moved to my sandbox. As linked in your comment. Hmmm... Nordic Nightfury 13:55, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

I thought we had sorted this. Obviously not. The page in question, user talk:Nordic Nightfury/sandbox is a page I moved from user talk:Nordic Dragon, which is the pseudonym I last edited with, before being renamed. A user, by the name of Davidcouzens123; whom on 18th October, left a phone number on it. Jo-Jo Eumerus very kindly deleted the two diffs that it was on. Then you blame me because you thought it came from my new talkpage. Like I said, if you care to read, this is a different matter, therefore I reserve the right to speedy it. I therefore ask again, please strike your comment above which relates to this. Nordic Nightfury 14:14, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

OK, let's get this straight. You have the fucking balls to call other editors trolls and delete their comments, but you still think you have some sort of right to demand satisfaction? _Muffled ^Pocketed 14:20, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

I apologised for using that term via RFPP. Now, I am ending this discussion here. If you don't have the audacity to admit you are wrong by adding a page totally unnecessary to this conversation I will take it higher. Goodbye. Nordic Nightfury 14:29, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I think you probably should. _Muffled ^Pocketed 14:31, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

• Oh my lord........... Lourdes 15:22, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Cheers Irondome, no worries it's fine. I'm sure the points I would have made are best left unmade, and the points that were made probably said enough. Thanks anyway, _Muffled ^Pocketed 13:32, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

I will, if I'm around, and if it goes up anyway- but, ThePlatypusofDoom you know you don't need to take my advice- was just wondering what would happen (i.e., if they would listen to you!). But, we'll see, eh? O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 21:37, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

I think he agreed to hold off for now (if not very willingly), but I'll stay off of his talk page for a little while, so he can calm down. If anything happens, I'll intervene if needed, but you should probably handle it for now. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 23:26, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

A strange speedy deletion nomination

I was at first puzzled by the fact that you nominated User:Jtsharpie7/sandbox for speedy deletion as an attack page, since far from being an attack, it was full of glowing praise and promotional hype about its subject. It then occurred to me that you probably clicked the G10 box in Twinkle by mistake, meaning to click the G11 one, which is of course right next to it. An easy mistake to make, and I have done similar things very often, but I thought I would just let you know. You may like to be more careful about always checking what you have actually done to a page after editing it. (Again, I am often guilty of failing to do that, so this is meant to be a friendly heads up, not a reprimand.) The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:05, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Many thanks JamesBWatson, there's definitely a lesson there. That's exactly what happened- and I kicked myself a few minutes ago when I saw it in my CSD log- "BLP? What BLP?!?!" Thanks for the reminder though, it never hurts. Cheers! O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 15:12, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

help with igloo!

I wanted to know if you could help me set up Igloo. The given instructions are confusing and mention something about a vector skin page!? Besides this are there any tools to monitor possible vandal edits or atleast newedits. The new edit feed is too clunky -Arkhaminsanity (talk) 15:09, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Arkhaminsanity, hold on. Redrose64, any ideas? O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 15:23, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

@Arkhaminsanity: Where are these "given instructions"? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:36, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Sorry to 'summon' you, Redrose64, but I'm afraid he lost me at 'Igloo'! Apreciate your input though. O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 15:41, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I believe that Arkhaminsanity is referring to the instructions are the big purple bordered box at the top of WP:Igloo. I personally use Huggle as this is a super nifty anti-vandalism tool, but, either you need Rollback to use it or you have more limited use of it without it. One or the other. Twinkle I use for AfD, CSD, PROD and delivering warnings. There's also STiki which I have never used. Now for Igloo, I believe but am not sure, that the correct place to place the code is whereever the "your scripts page" takes you - for me it's "vector.js". The page may not exist if you've never used it, so you'll have to create source. Then just clear your browser cache - search how to do this on google if you don't know because the process depends on which browser you use. I've never used Igloo, so think of this as my I'm guessing and have no real idea if it works tutorial. I am willing to try this out as the guinea pig, will reply if successful. Mr rnddude (talk) 16:00, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Igloo I'm referring to the instructions on this page -Arkhaminsanity (talk) 15:56, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

I declare my venture a success, and now I have Igloo for no reason. Arkhaminsanity, copy (ctrl-c) the following;

importScript('Wikipedia:Igloo/gloo.js'); // [[WP:Igloo]]

Click on the link entitled "your scripts page", it will redirect you to the most appropriate skin type for your PC or whatever. Create source and on the first line paste (ctrl-v) the following;

importScript('Wikipedia:Igloo/gloo.js'); // [[WP:Igloo]]

and then save changes. Then, clear browser cache - google how to do this if you don't know how. After that reload WP:Igloo and in front of you you should have "Launch Igloo" front and centre. When you click on it wait a couple seconds or minutes for Igloo to load. Read the instructions/guide. On the left you should have the most recent changes, click on whichever one you want and a diff will appear. There is a red triangle for "revert" and a red "x" for delete - I assume CSD. Hope that helps. Mr rnddude (talk) 16:08, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Huzzah! It worked! However, it demands rollback rights. Is this a glitch. I don't remember reading about rollbacker privileges being requires. Also, what tools can autoconfirmed users use to patrol edits? -Arkhaminsanity (talk) 16:11, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Um, yes actually WP:Rollback is required; igloo has the following operating requirements: ... Rollback privileges (visit Wikipedia:Requests for permissions to get this). May I additionally recommend WP:CVU for anti-vandalism help. I notice you're fairly new with something under 200 edits. They have a public questions forum here; Wikipedia talk:Counter-Vandalism Unit. That might be a quicker way of getting assistance. Mr rnddude (talk) 16:24, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

*Supposedly, he's already in it. O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 16:37, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) (edit conflict) @Arkhaminsanity: As Mr rnddude said, yes rollback is required. You may find Twinkle useful in the meantime though. I'll keep checking in on how you're doing and once you've shown you've got the hang of anti-vandalism I'll grant rollback (or, if I forget, pop over to WP:PERM or remind me) -- Samtar ^{talk · contribs} 16:39, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Revert edit-warring report revert

Hi, just questioning your revert of the report against the edit-warring displayed by NightShadow23. Five edits in the past several days, reverting to add the same content. Just curious as to your reasoning, as I was thinking of fling a report myself before you did it yourself. Thanks. Alex|The|Whovian^? 04:47, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you AlexTheWhovian. Feel free to re-report at any time; my revert was not a judgement on the strength or otherwise of the case. But I was on mobile at the time and I realised I would frankly not be able to load all the neccesary diffs required manually- as you point out, they go back days rather than hours. Remember to avoid e/w yourself and to emphasise the degree to which it is a slow-burning continuous reinsertion, etc. Cheers, O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 05:39, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

No problems, thanks for that! Alex|The|Whovian^? 05:51, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

FYI to

@AlexTheWhovian: The thing is, an SPI won't link an IP address to a named account- a form of outing I believe- so the case would have to rely on behavioural evidence alone. Which incidentally seems very strong! Good luck! O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 04:45, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Issue with the article 'Fedora'

Hi Fortuna! I have an issue with a IP user who claims that [[7]] is grammatically correct, is it me in the wrong or him. Or am I being stupid? We seem to be debating it on my talk page. I would be grateful for some help. Thanks! Qaei ☎ 23:07, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

What was this about?

Why did this guy suddenly show up on my talk page? I'm kinda confused. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 18:20, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

• @ThePlatypusofDoom:, yes it is verging on the bizaaaarre :) first of all he was impressed by your pun generator and illuminati kittens, and also wanted a counter-vandalism badge. To which I poked my nose in, and advised, in the interests of prolonging his wikicareer, that he got bollocked for the only mainspace edit he has so far made, and should consider improving that than getting barnstars. His userpage was full of facebook-style commentary, so I speedied it as per NOTWEBHOST. He then complained to me on your page that it shouldn't be deleted (even going to Requests for Undeletion over it!). And that is where it gets really obscure. Something about giving the Illuminati five day bans from the MAX...? I apologise for polluting- and encouraging the pollution!- of your userpage. Take care! O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 18:32, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

"Illumiati kittens"? I don't have anything illumanti-related on my user page... ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 18:34, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Very Nice!

I appreciate the help on the 1st Weather Reconnaissance Squadron article, especially the additional references, particularly the article in Flying Magazine. I've been looking for things like that for years without finding much. I ordered the books from the library and found the magazine online, but can't put eyes on 'First Hurricane Hunters Blazed Bright Path', Observer: Public Affairs Office of Air Weather Service. Would you know where I can find that? Also, it looks like the article has been resubmitted for review. Would you have done that or did that happen automatically maybe? Anyway, thanks again.Elephunk Ears (talk) 19:50, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Elephunk Ears, no worries. I noticed that you were receiving perhaps silghtly unclear messages about the thing- that's often inevitable with the templates we so often use around here- they're quick and easy, but of course they lack nuance or individuality.

Yes, that's exactly it. I was confused by the vagueness of "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources." Once I saw your edits I understood what was needed. Elephunk Ears (talk) 01:15, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Anyway, I've had all the tabs open that I used for the last 7 hours or so, in case you wanted them  ;) so here are the online links- you get everything I used I'm afraid, whether you want it or not!

• American Warplanes of WWII (I forgot to use this! -you can though.)
• Beware the Hurricane!: The Story of the Cyclonic Tropical Storms that Have Struck Bermuda and the Islanders' Folk-lore
• Thor's Legions: Weather Support to the U.S. Air Force and Army, 1937-1987
• Flying Magazine March, 1945
• The Army Air Forces in World War II, Vol. VII
• Air Weather Service : our heritage, 1937-1987

Thanks. I will use the warplanes book. I'm still looking for the 'First Hurricane Hunters Blazed Bright Path' article. Doesn't seem to be on any of those tabs. Could you check your history for it?Elephunk Ears (talk) 01:15, 19 January 2017 (UTC)I found that magazine and article online. Thanks for the tip.Elephunk Ears (talk) 07:48, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Incidentally, how do you feel having a small final paragraph referencing the fact that the name of the squadron (if not the thing tself) was resurrected in the 1960s as a cover for cold war spying missions? -sources, [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], and [16]. You've got enough there for a whole new article, in fact! O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 20:19, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

I wasn't aware of the cold war connection. I'll read through the references. Would you put that short paragraph at the end of the History section?Elephunk Ears (talk) 01:15, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Ah- I hadn't noticed that new template. When that's added, it automatically goes up again. Actually, I think I deleted it when I edited the thing earlier, which just means someone noticed it was missing something and put it back. Since the article's pretty substantial now, we can be bold and shove it into mainspace. Hold on. O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 20:24, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Great. It's up and running, though Google doesn't know about it yet and the Wikipedia search box doesn't recognize it either. I imagine it takes a while before a new article gets indexed. Now that it's live I can see a lot of places where I can improve it but that will have to wait a bit. I have to do some other things I've been putting off.Elephunk Ears (talk) 01:15, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Kovilangulam

Hello Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi.

New Page Reviewer

Hello Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

• URGENT: Please consider helping get the huge backlog (around 15,000 pages) down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
• Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
• Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
• Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:50, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

• @Kudpung: Received and understood. Glad to see the backlog has fallen by 1K at least! Cheers, O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 12:59, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Here's one to watch

Luna Park, Scranton. The WP:OWNER doesn't like the feedback I've presented, but the article spun out of control long ago. I'm suggesting reverting to some version from last October, but doing so will elicit a fury one can only imagine. At any length, it's worth some discussion. Cheers, 2601:188:1:AEA0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 01:27, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

• 2601:188:1:AEA0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63, that is ******* incredible! Out thirteenth biggest article is about an amusement park that was open for ten years... a century ago?! (Thanks to Art LaPella for the factoid!) Yep, the consensus seems pretty clear on that one eh. O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 12:38, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

He also says the previous version was often inaccurate. So we could more likely agree on how long the article should be if we also agreed on correcting the inaccuracy. Art LaPella (talk) 15:20, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Art LaPella; I was thinking when I moved the recent additions to the talk page that the newspapers could be useful references for further additions. Also, it would be useful to know exactly how and to what degree inaccurate. O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 15:23, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you both for your attention to this. Removing inaccuracies is welcome, of course, but if that was the original intent it was lost in an avalanche of trivial content. Cheers, 73.159.24.89 (talk) 19:14, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

(Wow, that was unexpected--99 marvels at how capriciously his 2601 has become a 73) 73.159.24.89 (talk) 19:16, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes, it would be useful if Daves1 would elaborate on what is inaccurate; he hasn't told me. Art LaPella (talk) 20:49, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

I really do think the WP:OWNERSHIP thing is not going to end well. I've reverted to your version, Fortuna [17], in order to restore reliable sources and remove original research and conversational tone. Probably the editor will blow some steam in my direction, but this sort of thing can happen when someone takes control of a relatively obscure article for a long time, isn't held in check, and encyclopedic tone and sourcing be damned. Please keep an eye on this if you can. Thanks from 99, 2601:188:1:AEA0:587E:8905:7942:88F3 (talk) 03:24, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for the review of the Soundart Chameleon page. Can you explain your comment ("looks like an essay")?

Declined speedy deletion nomination of Dead Cross

Hello Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi. I have declined your speedy deletion nomination of Dead Cross as an article that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the topic under CSD A7. That criterion did not apply because having a notable member is a credible indication of "importance or significance". In fact WP:MUSICBIO says that having 2 is a claim of notability (a higher standard than significance). This band has 3, as well as a notable former member. Adam9007 (talk) 17:27, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

2601:188:1:AEA0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63, excellent- great minds thinking alike eh! I came to it via the chap who templated you. Bet you feel small now don't you, you IP you!!! I've got rid of most of the junk, and as my last edit-summary says, I attempted the copy-edit, but had to give up. It's a rather bizarre article. I find it hard to imagine it's not A7-worthy actually; what say you? O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 15:29, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

PS- do you get pings? (Like above?) O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 15:30, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

For some reason the pings haven't been coming through. Which sort of corresponds with getting older and losing one's hearing. I'm uncertain about A7, would need to pore over sources at greater length. Some hits come up on a Google news search, but whether there's enough there to justify an article isn't yet clear to me. 2601:188:1:AEA0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 15:36, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Then again, given this history [22], the lack of views for his Youtube videos, and the persistent re-creation of promotional bios, A7 may be just the thing. 2601:188:1:AEA0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 15:52, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Maybe even WP:CSD#G4 then? It was it's most recent discussion after all... although years ago. Having said that, thanks to me sticking my nose in, I don't suppose it qualifies as 'sufficiently identical' now! The opeing line of the AfD is fundamental though- I have very strong doubts that the curator of one or even many art exhibitions is notable. I don't think much has changed. O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 16:02, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

I don't know how similar it is, given the passage of nearly five years, and that we can't see the previous incarnation. I'd think a second AfD may be better, but who knows.

No, G4 doesn't apply, but A7 does. If that's declined, AfD. Drmies (talk) 21:22, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Thank you Drmies- does it now not apply due to my changing the article sufficiently to exclude it from the criteria, or, because it was the 'latest' discussion, but 'not the latest deletion? -if you know what I mean. O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 21:28, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

No, their initial version was already different enough, esp. in terms of sources. I think there was some similar phrasing. Might I add that if you're in a deletionist frame of mind I'm not the best admin to ask; I'm on the side of content creation so I take G4 narrowly: it really needs to be the same content and the same (typically poor) sourcing for me to delete via G4. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 22:56, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

And as long as you're visiting, Drmies, have a look at Bearden High School (Tennessee), where I fought just to begin clean up on an awful athletics section, and got that accomplished only after hero admin NeilN assisted. The section is still a wreck, but I don't want to go near that article again. Ever. 2601:188:1:AEA0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 17:15, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

@Drmies: Not so much deletionist as anti-crap :) Ta for the advice though. O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 06:18, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of draft page User:DylanB4/sandbox

Why was there a deletion of the page I created? It was made with referenced facts. No advertising. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DylanB4 (talk • contribs) 03:44, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Wry comment(s) re the reference you found ...

Regarding [23], it talks of "Superstars in ... 1985". My God! That's now 30 years ago!! My memories of those guys are as they appear at the top of the page you found ...

@Pdfpdf: Thirty years ago... woooo I was still reading comics and thoought Bergerac was cutting edge :( like that quote though! O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 09:35, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Follow up: I went for a wander around the Creswell Gardens and the Adelaide Oval on Saturday. I took LOTS of photos with my phone, some of which I've uploaded to Creswell Gardens.
There was a HUGE, and extremely expensive - Aus$400,000,000 - upgrade (at taxpayer expense) to the Adelaide Oval a few years ago, and the areas closest to the Oval have changed out of all recognition!
It seems that the three promised-30-years-ago statues of the so-called football "heroes" actually do indeed exist - but not in the Creswell Gardens. (They're located south of the Oval.) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 12:16, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

First Article and the UI of Wikipedia

Dear Fortuna Imperatrix, I thought the the 'Sandbox' was a draft section of Wikipedia and that clicking the 'Save' icon would save my work as a draft, it was never meant to be public yet, as it needs a lot of editing. I have to say the UI of Wikipedia is one of the clumsy efforts I have ever engaged with, maybe this is some kind of filter or test of the worthy. I think I will stick to peer reviewed papers.

Regards,

Dear Vocational samurai, thanks for the message. On the assumption you can find any peer-reviewed journals that would cover that, then you most definitely should. However, the fact remains that WP:NOTWEBHOST means this encyclopaedia is not a personal forum, blog, bulletin board or advertising agency for one's own works, opinions, or general discursions. PS: If you could please sign future messages with '~~~~' (four tildes), that would adhere to policy whilst keeping both me and the bot happy. Happy editing!

Václav Bolemír Nebeský

Thanks for reviewing the article about Václav Bolemír Nebeský. Now it looks much better. I did not intend to write a long article, just some ten lines. As far as I know he is regarded as minor poet in his country. Perhaps now we should expand the article about Karel Hynek Mácha who is considered the greatest Czech poet. (Anagram16 (talk) 21:37, 8 February 2017 (UTC))

Return of Veeras Infotek

It appears that you got this page deleted once already. I can't seem to find the discussion page tho. Shall i propose deletion? Arkhaminsanity (talk) 09:21, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

@Arkhaminsanity:, thanks for the message. Yes I did, and yes, you probably should. I see it was deleted last time as WP:CSD#G1 (advertising) and WP:CSD#A7 (non-notable); although I can't remember how it exactly looked back then, it looks lke it's still those two things :) Good luck! O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 09:29, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Showstudio.com

Hello Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Showstudio.com, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: being founded by a notable person indicates significate. Plus there are RS about the subject. Also, I had already declined the speedy once, please do not retag but use WP:PROD or WP:AFD. Thank you. SoWhy 16:33, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

SoWhy. Please do not use big bad bold orthography here, my eyesight is fine. Personally I think I second opoinion was probably due (I hadn't noticed the previous speedy). But many thanks for the advice. Take care, O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 16:36, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

The bold font is just part of the script I use, I can't change that. If you still believe that an article with multiple RS about a subject that was founded by a notable person meets A7, you might want to re-read the criterion's description as well as WP:ATD (and maybe my essay on this topic). Even if the subject weren't notable, policy dictates that it should never be deleted when it can easily be redirected/merged into an article about a notable subject. Regards SoWhy 16:45, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

A little bit of CDH twinkling would sort that script for you. I note it was also G11. O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 16:48, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Remember, any somewhat-seasoned admin will check if the article meets any (other) criterion before declining a request since it would be pointless to decline a G11 just so the next editor can tag it A7. So rest assured, I checked both when reviewing the first request and you can usually be sure that any other admin will do so as well. On a side note, if one or multiple experienced, non-involved editors edited the page without requesting speedy deletion (like Timothyjosephwood and Mean as custard in this case), it's usually safe to assume that they might object to deletion as well, so I usually will decline any speedy requests for such pages anyway (except when it meets G10 or G12). Last but not least, remember that there is no second opinion when it comes to speedy deletion. Once it has been declined, re-tagging the page might be considered admin shopping (except valid G10 or G12 concerns that the previous admin didn't know about). Regards SoWhy 17:10, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Your points are, as ever, lucid: it was still an advert though :D O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 17:23, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Not blatant enough for G11, at least this revision not. Plus, you demonstrated yourself that a viable stub remains if you remove the spammy bits. Regards SoWhy 17:30, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Or to put it another way, demonstrated that the kernal lacked notability :P On a lighter note, is there a way of comparing the sizes of different page revisions? A good example would be the non-advertorial advert we were discussing ;) but I was actually wanting to compare here between the current stage and this revision. Obviously we can see the differEnce; but size, word-count, length? O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 17:41, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Lucky for you that you struck that, otherwise I would have had to lecture you about A7 not being about notability As for the other question, I don't really know any such tool. You could use WP:DYKcheck on both revisions though. Otherwise, maybe WP:US or WP:TOOLS contains such a script/tool? Regards SoWhy 17:58, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

For my own part, if it had sprung to life in the form I first saw this morning, I would have nominated for G11 myself. Unfortunately, CSD requires that no version of the article's history isn't disqualifying, and with a ten year old article, most of the time I just don't even bother. It's a better use of time to reduce to a stub than sort through every reversion in the article history. TimothyJosephWood 17:37, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

@SoWhy and Timothyjosephwood: Mea culpa, please accept my apologies for wasting your time. I have to admit that, thinking it was a new article (started by the then-blocked Mustardcreams editor), I didn't check the history. I always look for BEFORE; and also the history, but in this case I slipped up. Ten years old! There's no way I would normally nominate that either. Sorry about that. PS: new question above  :) O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 18:00, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Time spent learning is never wasted. TimothyJosephWood 18:04, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Article has been copied

Hello fortuna. I found out that Bethany High has almost entirely been copied from Bethany official website . This article was once considered for deletion due to its notability. Because of this, i am confused as to what my next step should be.
hope you don't mind me popping in here every few days asking doubts

Cheers,

Arkhaminsanity (talk) 16:10, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

• @Arkhaminsanity: I've put the 'Earwig' copyright violation detector on your userpage with your other list of tools, hope you don't mind that. It is a useful and easy to use tool for detecting things like that. Now, funnily, if we run the Bethany High page through Earwig, the result is [24]- a 2% 'unlikely' result. How did you work out it was copied though? O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 16:25, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

I simply copied some of the article and plugged it into google. Search results show the wiki page and the official website. The text was in bold and when i compared the two pages, i realized they were the same. The tool you mentioned doesn't seem to detect that. I'm even moreconfused now. Arkhaminsanity (talk) 16:28, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Most of it was copied from here. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:49, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks NeilN- presumably that text is within frames or something. Mind you, I've had more obvious copyvios not picked up by earwig recently so maybe there's an issue? In any case, feel free to advise Arkhaminsanity on the matter as I am currently working on two articles atm :p ;) You would surely be doing me a solid :D O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 16:56, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Just to close this, I've removed the copyvios and revdelled all the article versions containing them. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 18:34, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for that x99. O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 18:51, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

On my talk page under where it says your warning, I replied to it and they are questions on there that I would like to be answered. It would be respectable if you do. Thanks

Second eye..

Would you mind taking a look at the numerous Asana articles contributed by MilenaGlebova1989.I don't think they are of any independent notability and probably was fit enough to be just mentioned at List of asanas.(The same query was also put forward prev. by another editor and he/she prob. did not reply.)Any advice/help will be appreciated.Winged Blades ^Godric 14:28, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

@Winged Blades of Godric: Well spotted. At first glance- I'd say you're probably right. Most if not all the sourcing is WP:PRIMARY, with the odd mention in a paper, etc., here and there- but that might lack WP:DEPTH. And as you say, they pretty much duplicate info either in the List of asanas, or could be. It'll be a (Redacted) load of PRODS though ;) and a poor translation isn't really a reason for deletio in itself (see WP:ATD-T). In any case I'm not competent to judge; it's certainly better than my sanskrit. But the purpose of these articles, according to this, goes against an awful lot of WP:WPNOT; WP:NOTDIRECTORY AND WP:NOTGUIDE spring to mind. A previous attempt to discuss this this with the editor, which you noted went unreplied to, was by the august User:Cyphoidbomb, before their elevation . Let us summon them now... O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 15:03, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't know what to do here. Does this require a wider discussion? Most of the ones I saw were just cookie-cutters with no clear independent notability as Godric notes. They could all be redirected back to the main list or something. That's gonna be a ton of work. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:10, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: Mate, I was expecting you to arrive, leaping tall buildings in a single bound, etc  ;) and sort it with a wave of the magic wand! But seriously- is it the quality of the articles that intimates a need for community discussion, or just the quantity of them? If we took it to AN/I, we would get not oly consensus (hopefully!) one way or the other, but also more volunteers to make the redirects. Thoughts? thanks for reply, btw. O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 20:17, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Hah, wish I were that skilled... If this were one article, I'd probably just redirect it, and I suppose it's just "one article" a hundred times, but I think I'd personally feel better getting some more input, and then, yeah, some extra help on the redirects. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:25, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

I agree: it would be better to fireproof it first. I'm more-or-less signing off for the night now, though, so won't be able to initiate much until tomorow (GMT). PS, actually Cyphoidbomb a 158 times *help!*  ;) O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 20:30, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Oh shit, there was a SECOND page?! Wow. Although some of them aren't asanas... We should probably make that clear. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:49, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Also, aren't some of the sources in List of asanas rather non-WP:RSsy? Not my field, not even close, so I can't really say what a reliable source for a yoga pose would be, but several of those look pretty spammy to me. --bonadea contributions talk 21:55, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Well, I was wading through a majority of the Asana related articles and thought to ask whether some script/automation would manage to make a mass redirect of the spinoffs to the parent page. But those 4 on the 2nd page are prob. going to be a headache.Any thoughts on starting an AN/I thread and listen to as well as get help from more hands on the issue?Winged Blades ^Godric 16:02, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

@Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi:--Well, I think the discussion at WP:ANI is stale(Surp. it failed to attract a single participant save our's three!) and that it would be prudent to slowly delve in the mass redirection of those articles without hoping for some magic-script/advice to come to our help and take the burden off our back.How do ya feel?Winged Blades ^Godric 13:08, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

• @Winged Blades of Godric: Yeah I think yer right. We certainly didn't establish a consensus against our proposal anyway :) yo, Cyphoidbomb, any objections 'administrationally' to our getting on with the redirects? O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 13:13, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

I don't have a problem with it. The user who created the articles has been notified of this discussion and has edited since the notification. If they aren't compelled to respond, I don't know why anyone else should be. What remains is the divvying of the workload. I don't have tons of time to devote to editing in general lately, but I could commit to taking the last 52, so #106-#158, reviewing them and redirecting them. Might take me a few days. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:59, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to us Cyphoidbomb; right, How about we do ~50 each? -but on the proviso that if you want to drop it, due to RL / mop duties, we can pick up the slack? I'm sure @Winged Blades of Godric: won't mind; he hasn't been jaded yet  ;) O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 18:03, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

I'm about halfway through. I've found that there were already a number of articles about asanas which to my mind violate both WP:NOTHOWTO and WP:MEDICAL, with very poor sourcing to boot, e.g. Virabhadrasana I... but I'm not going to try to enlarge the cleanup effort, that way madness lies. At least the set of articles created by this user is very straightforward in that there's a cookie-cutter template and all the content that might be salvaged is already in List of asanas. --bonadea contributions talk 15:19, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

 Done Phew. Looking at all those images of people in various poses gave me a sympathetic backache! (And I am even more convinced that this was part of a walled garden around Mr. Yoga.

You're dead right, TJW, it's happened to me in other places (webhost for drafts, maybe?) sorry about that though, not trying to show you up! Well, showing the curator up I s'pose... O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 21:32, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

No worries. I feel like this may have happened to me once before, and it's rare enough where I suspect I will probably forget and make the same mistake again before too long. TimothyJosephWood 21:36, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Hey FIM, just working through your excellent-as-always reports to UAA and noticed this tag. Just thought I'd drop you a line letting you know that I've declined it only because the page had previous history (ie. a CSD notice) that ideally we'd like to keep. Instead, I've removed the promotional text :-) I've also blocked the editor and deleted their page. Keep up the good work! -- Samtar ^{talk · contribs} 08:25, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

You've gotta earn yer pay when I'm around <g> On a serious note, many thanks Samtar for catching that, and the reminder, which never hurts. Cheers! O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 08:32, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Walter Pardon

Thanks for your review - I appreciate the feedback. I started writing articles about English folk music recently - my article about Walter Pardon was the first I've tried about a person.

I appreciate too your comment about references - however..... The youtube reference was to a video that I can't trace any information about, but it clearly exists. It contains interviews from people who knew WP and footage of the village he lived in, and I thought it relevant. Should I have left it out?

Are sleeve notes acceptable references? I've got some books, and there are some good sources available as ebooks, but sleeve notes written by experts seem to me as reputable as any other.
