??????Not sure how this works, I was trying to respond to your recent msg about the Pigeon fever page, thanks for cleaning it up. Not sure how to chat with you or email you so I figured I would try and type here and maybe you would find it? I am horseman with lots of years in horses, so I see that I can't cite actually experience for my contributions, so over the years I have read, studied and researched horses, I have testified in court as a horse expert and can explain my opinions and beliefs but can't cite past experience. I was wondering if Wiki would consider a lifetime experience or expert Opinion section on a page? I am sure it would be a pain to control and to prove who is really knows and who just think they know. Just a thought. I notified from my horse site that no Pigeon Fever page was on wiki, so that is why I tried to create.
thanks again for help, not sure how to sign either, I guess I just put my username : rickgore — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rickgore (talk • contribs) 21:11, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
Adding wikilinks
[edit]Hi MrNiceGuy1113. Please be sure you are familiar with guidelines about overlinking. For example, it is rare that [[North America]] should be wikilinked. Thanks! Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 16:26, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 27
[edit]Hi. When you recently edited Chaplain, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Minister (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wikipedia Help Survey
[edit]Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.
Thank you for your time,

Hello - on May 30/12, you made a significant improvement to the article Comares. At the end of the section titled "History", you wrote, "It was considered one of the strategic points of the Rayya (Archidona), then capital of the taha of Malaga." The issue is that taha is an ambiguous word, and I cannot figure out what meaning of the word fits the sentence. Can you please revisit the article and clarify the word/link - perhaps if it's a Spanish word, a translation to an English equivalent would be a good substitute? PKT(alk) 15:38, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi there, could you pop back to Harry Liston's talk page when you have a few moments. Many thanks -- CassiantoTalk 08:30, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
Coordinates
[edit]First of all, thanks for helping to add coordinates to articles that lack them; your work is appreciated. However, the [[Coord}} template does not accept names such as "Nova Scotia" or "Serbia" as parameters; you need to be using "region:XX", where XX is one of the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes listed here (or an ISO 3166-2 code for a subregion within one of the countries). For more about the various parameters used in the template, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates#Implementation details. Deor (talk) 21:22, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Deor,
Thank you for sharing that with me. I will make a note of it for future. Happy typing. (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 10:23, 23 August 2012 (UTC))

Infoboxes
[edit]Please do not add infoboxes to mature articles unless there is a consensus of editors on the page to add it. Some editors at Wikipedia often find infoboxes to be redundant and not helpful. Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:37, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, thank you for saying. All the best. (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 08:25, 8 September 2012 (UTC))
sourced language articles
[edit]Hi,
Most of our language articles are sourced through their info boxes, so I'm reverting your recent tagging. I've submitted several bot requests as part of a wiki project to make the refs more obvious, but that proved controversial and was never done. — kwami (talk) 09:29, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
Redlinks
[edit]Just a courtesy note that I have reverted your edit. Please review Wikipedia:Red link before removing further redlinks. Schwede66 23:07, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
Hallo, in this edit you added a DEFAULTSORT and two categories, but didn't get it quite right in either case.
The Defaultsort should be the place someone will look in an A-Z listing for something. No-one looks under "The" or "A", so it's the way to make sure that this film will be listed under "Still". Unfortunately you specified the defaultsort as "The Still Point", which is just what we don't want it to file under.
You also gave the two categories Category:Film and Category:Australia. Both of these are enormous categories with hundreds of subcategories, and not particularly useful for someone trying to find this and similar articles. Category:Australian films or one of its subdivisions is much more useful.
There's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia, but it's an interesting journey. Happy Editing! PamD 09:30, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in App Map, makes articles harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Platypleura arabica, which you Page Curated
[edit]When an article starts off with non-Wiki style prose like "A common sight on trees and bushes in summer months, the Arabian cicada (Platypleura arabica) is also well known throughout its range" and includes numbers which look like references but aren't, it's worth checking to see if it's a copyright violation. Pick a distinctive phrase, like "Arabian cicada has sucking" and google it with quotes around it ... in this case we find an exact match for the whole of the article, so it's a case for CSD G-12 as a blatant copyright violation. Worth checking when you're doing Page Curation. PamD 22:27, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Pam, thank you very much for sharing this tip with me, much appreciated!
Will keep in mind for the future. Regards, (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 12:38, 20 October 2012 (UTC))
Couple of problems
[edit]Careful with the unreferenced tags. Both Anastasia Chernova and Class of 1952 Stadium had references. Anastasia Chernova also had categories, so uncategorized shouldn't have been added either. Also, DEFAULTSORT goes after PERSONDATA. I see PamD has been bugging you too. As she said, there is alot to learn around here and it takes time. You are doing a good job and don't get discouraged. Only 4,304,583 things left to learn :)
You correctly added the unreferenced tag to Bribri Sign Language and the creating editor removed it improperly. I re-added. You may want to watch that for the next few days. Give me a yell if you run problems with that article. If you ever have questions PamD is a great person to ask or bug me anytime. Bgwhite (talk) 05:26, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
- The article is referenced. Not much of a reference, but it references additional references. More than adequate for a one-line stub. — kwami (talk) 06:17, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
- The "reference" should not only be used as an external link in the infobox, please use proper referencing. Only having where it is located makes it very hard to see the article is referenced. Bgwhite (talk) 06:26, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
- Hello Bgwhite, thank you for taking the time to tell me about where I went wrong, I always appreciate feedback on my work. My apologies for the miss categorizations, sometimes I just get into a flow and miss an obvious thing here and there (but not often :-)). As for your other points, about DEFAULTSORT and Persondata, this won't happen again and thanks once more for showing me. Kindest regards, (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 12:59, 20 October 2012 (UTC))
Back bugging you again
[edit]I'm starting to talk to you more than my wife. I'm not complaining because not talking to my wife is a good thing. :)
In Ahn Yong-joon, the sort value is DEFAULSORT:Ahn, Yong-joon per WP:SUR.
Careful on Asian and other names. Most are pretty straightforward, but others can get downright tricky. Arabic and if particles (van, de) are used at all can get tricky. WP:NAMESORT has the rules, but give a yell if you have any questions. Bgwhite (talk) 07:32, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
- Ha ha, some wives can be as tricky as an Asian name... Thanks Bgwhite, apologies for making more work for you!
Take care, (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 07:39, 22 October 2012 (UTC))
Back again too!
[edit]Hi, When you add {{stub}} to an article as you did here, please use lower case "s" not capital "S". A stub-sorter will be along soon to amend it to something like {{Connecticut-school-stub}}, and it saves a couple of keystrokes if we don't have to retype that letter! Thanks. PamD 10:57, 22 October 2012 (UTC
- And: I see that you tried to add Category:Casino to Rivers Casino (Des Plaines) before going for the more general Category:Gambling. Most categories about people or objects use the plural, so Category:Casinos would have been OK, and I found Category:Casinos in Illinois as a refinement of that one. There's always more to learn! PamD 11:15, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
- Folks, you are all starting to make me feel very popular. Pam cheers for taking the time to point those things out to me. Noted. Regards(MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 20:38, 23 October 2012 (UTC))

For taking grief from Pam and me, but still plugging along. Bgwhite (talk) 05:10, 24 October 2012 (UTC) |
Supported: the frequency with which I turn up here is because of the large volume of your work, so that I fall over a lot of it while stub-sorting - and the fact that you're happy to learn. Good luck. PamD 07:30, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Invalid AfD - 1940's in Denmark
[edit]Note: actually 940s in Denmark, for benefit of any other talk-page stalkers who are curious. Just out by a millennium and an apostrophe! PamD 16:33, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
Just to let you know your AfD tag for the article 1940's in Denmark is removed due to it not conforming to the guidelines for AfD nominations. Please review these before recommending further AfD's. The reason your article for deletion tag was invalid is because the item you nominated is in first stage development and not complete. Olowe2011 (talk) 14:13, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, thank you for sharing. In that case you will probably find a few more like that in the pile for nomination. However, in my defense I will say that it should have had a notice that it was in the process of being worked on, correct? Also, please don't send me any notices in relation to the other tags I added. Kindest regards, (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 14:16, 28 October 2012 (UTC))
- You said "It doesn't say anything really, does it?", but it had some valid content: it told us the monarch. It is one of a whole pattern of "year in" and "decade in" pages, which don't always contain a lot of information but are valid pages. I've tidied up its redlinked categories. PamD 16:43, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
- But it doesn't say anything really, it has mostly empty boxes and one wikilink. And, no notice that it was underway to being expanded. It was one of a litany that I found. Many new pages were created on the same theme, with only one link each. "Some" is more than one. I know year in and decade in pages are usually sparse and just a compilation of events and figures, but these all just contained "one" item and nothing else, not even a notice... Anyway, that's my defense. Regards to all, (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 17:09, 28 October 2012 (UTC))

Hi, I seem to find a lot of your patrolled articles, because I do quite a lot of stub-sorting! I noticed that you added a DEFAULTSORT to this one: great, but... WP:NAMESORT tells us that the "III" should go after the Philip in the sort key. It figures: in an A-Z list you'd want all the Ludwells together, then all the Philip Ludwells, before sorting on the "III". I've fixed it, but thought I'd point it out. Just another little thing to learn (that NAMESORT section is interesting reading - I messed up an Icelandic politician lately, forgetting their special rules!)
Actually I deleted almost the whole article, as it was straight copyvio from the cited source - but he sounds an interesting chap so I wrote a couple of sentences, sourced from that source. PamD 09:10, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
- Seems indeed he was a bit of a unique charchter, so it should have been correct?
Thanks for taking the time to share with me Pam, and for seeing the copyviolations! (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 09:15, 30 October 2012 (UTC))

So what you would do is click "edit" on the article. Somewhere, where you want the photo to be, put it in like this:
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/05/Fehime_Sultan.jpg/220px-Fehime_Sultan.jpg)
I'll let you now put it in, if any problems give me a shout. Well done for finding the pic' and for getting it up on wikimedia commons! Regards, (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 19:11, 31 October 2012 (UTC))
Thanky you so much, I have done it..
Perihan S. (talk) 21:09, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Perihan, well done, looks much nicer (as always) with a picture. Gotta love those old pictures eh?
Also I took the liberty of reworking the article a little, with copyediting and dividing to give more structure and flow to the information.
What you think, better?

Usurping a link
[edit]Hi MrNiceGuy1113,
May I call you MNG? :)
First, thank you very much for your assistance in editing the "Neohumanism (liberation of intellect)" page. I especially liked the bolding of the first word in the article (definitely your work) and the addition of page rating and categories (possibly your addition).
In the days or weeks to come, I am sure this article will be expanded. However, there is one major task that needs to be done that I have not figured out how to do. Currently, a search on Wikipedia for Neohumanism takes you to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neohumanism#Neohumanism, which is just a small paragraph within a larger article on the propounder of this philosophy, Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar. I have added a link (a 'redirect'?) at the top of that small paragraph to the main article, which is Neohumanism (liberation of intellect). However, it would make much more sense if a Wikipedia search for "Neohumanism" took one directly to the main article. Hence, I would like to edit the titles and destinations for the two links (Neohumanism and Neohumanism (liberation of intellect)), essentially reversing them. I understand this is possible. I believe it is called "usurping a link". However, I have not been able to figure out how to do this. Could you please assist me with the process?
--Abhidevananda (talk) 06:51, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Abhidevananda,
Hope you are well. Thank you for your words and taking the time to consider me for your question. However I am sorry to say I don't have an answer to this valid question. But I did ask someone more knowing than myself, so I will await her message. Please feel free to ask anything else.
Oh and yes, you may call me MNG.
Kindest regards, (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 07:05, 1 November 2012 (UTC))
MNG, I haven't had much luck asking others. Waited on the Help chat line for well over an hour without a single response to a much easier question there. So, for now at least, I'll just wait for the reply you get from the person you asked. Thanks for taking the trouble. Other than this matter, I happily do not have any other current questions/problems (Wikipedia-related).
--Abhidevananda (talk) 08:45, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
- As the "someone more knowing" ...
- Let's look at the situation:
- There is a redirect from Neohumanism to Prabhat_Ranjan_Sarkar#Neohumanism
- There is some info on Neohumanism there, but much more at a new article currently called Neohumanism (liberation of intellect)
- There is no other article called "Neohumanism" or any near variation of it
- There is a redirect from Neo-humanism to Humanism, although the term "neohumanism" does not occur in that article
- There is an article about literary criticism term New Humanism, which starts off "New Humanism or neohumanism ...", and which has a hatnote pointing to New Humanism (disambiguation)
- There is a disambiguation page at New Humanism (disambiguation) which includes an entry for Neohumanism which currently points to the non-existent Humanism#Neo-Humanism
- All a bit of a mess. I note that the new article, or something similar by the same editor, has been declined at AfC twice - I haven't examined it carefully to see whether the reviewer's concerns have been addressed, I'm just looking at navigation here.
- I've just tidied up the hatnote at New Humanism and the disambiguation page at New Humanism (disambiguation)
- We need to move the new article to Neohumanism. It cannot be done immediately, because the title "Neohumanism" is already occupied, by the redirect, and that redirect has been edited since it was created (it has actually pointed to a couple of different places over the years). If the redirect had never been edited, I could have simply moved the article over.
- If anyone could plausibly argue that the new article should not be at that title (as opposed to arguind that it should not exist, which is a separate issue), then we would have to use the WP:RM Requested Move process. But I consider that this is a "non-controversial move", so I have now used {{db-move}} to request that the redirect be deleted so that the article can be moved to that title. I have watch-listed the redirect. An admin will in due time deleted the redirect. Admin practice varies: some will then make the follow-on article move, and others don't see it as their job to do so!
- I have added a hatnote to the new article, directing to the disambiguation page for other uses.
- I have altered the Neo-humanism redirect to point to the new article: when the article is moved, this will become a double redirect, which a bot will sort out into a single redirect.
- I think that just about wraps it up! I've explained what I'm doing, partly to clarify it for myself but also so that you can both see what's going on, as an educational exercise! I hope we've now got it all sorted out, just waiting for an admin to delete the redirect. And the link in the PRS article will need to be updated, although the page move will create an automatic redirect from old title to new (ie from Neohumanism (liberation of intellect) to Neohumanism, so it's not the end of the world if that link doesn't get updated immediately as it will still work.
- So there we are, I hope. PamD 16:40, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
Pam, thank you very much. Like you, I believe that this should be a non-controversial move. Certainly, no one who subscribes to Shrii Sarkar's Neohumanism will object to the move, given that the new article is much more informative, and having a dedicated article offers more scope to discuss the philosophy. No one else should object, because the Wikipedia link to "Neohumanism" already goes to the very same subject.
Your hatnote is a helpful addition to the Neohumanism article. Thank you for that.
When all of this is done, I will have one last not-at-all-urgent problem, which will be to rename the article "Neohumanism (liberation of intellect)" to simply "Neohumanism"... if that does not happen automatically. Even if it is not automatic (that is, part of the process of usurping a link), I suppose that it is probably a lot easier than usurping a link. Pam, perhaps you or MNG would kindly explain this point when you get a moment.
Again, thank you kindly to both of you - Pam and MNG - for your very helpful assistance.
--Abhidevananda (talk) 18:09, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Pam and Abhidevananda,
Wow, that's more than a mouthful of work that that involved. Thank you Pam for taking up the mantle. I hope someday I too may be as knowledgeable.
Kindest regards to you both, (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 08:16, 2 November 2012 (UTC))
copyediting
[edit]I partially reverted an edit of yours at Mountain Meadows Reservoir. In Wikipedia articles, it's considered appropriate to apply boldface to terms which are the destination of a redirect. See WP:R#PLA for details. —Stepheng3 (talk) 17:06, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
- Okay Stephen thanks for sharing with me.

Question on tagging of pages
[edit]I notice some tagging of pages as orphans that have incoming links, for example [1] and [2], both of which have more than five links. The tools you using showing false information? --Traveler100 (talk) 18:23, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Traveller,
Thanks for taking the time to get onto me. Firstly I am not using any tool other than my eyeball (and the "new pages feed").
Secondly. I don't see a single link/wikilink in the main-body of either two article. Madley has some in his infobox.
Regards, (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 08:14, 2 November 2012 (UTC))
- (talk page stalker)Are you confusing {{Orphan}} (no incoming links) with {{deadend}} and {{underlinked}} (No, or too few, links from the article to other articles)?
- It's also clearer if you indent each paragraph of a comment to the same depth of indent! PamD 08:19, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Pam, one of those articles has NO links so it is an {orphan}, while the other has a some in the infobox only, which to :me would still make it {orphan}, yet I would accept it could be {underlinked}.
- Do you see no links on either of the two articles main-bodies either?
- Regards,
- (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 08:27, 2 November 2012 (UTC))
- No, please read the definitions: an "Orphan" is an article where you click on "What links here" and there are no mainspace articles shown as linking to it. "Deadend" and "Underlinked" are the tags to use where there are not enough links in the article itself.
- The Madley article had a load of other problems ... PamD 08:43, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, so, if it has nothing, or not enough, to other wikipedia articles then it is a "deadend" or "underlinked". Sorry :for asking what seems to be the obvious Pam, but I find the definitions and criteria provided (for most topics/tags/whatevers) as always vague or confusing in their definition.
- Regards
- (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 09:13, 2 November 2012 (UTC))
- Maybe you should slow down and read a bit more. If you look at the Page Curation window, it gives a definition for each tag: Orphan is defined as "This page is linked to from few or no other pages.",and Deadend as "This page has few or no links to other pages." (there's a bit of confusion as to whether Deadend includes pages with "few" links, and there's a new tag "underlinked"). If you don't understand what you are doing, please stop doing it until you do! If you find those descriptions confusing, use the Page Curation talk page to suggest a better wording. Wikipedia:Glossary might help in some cases, though "Underlinked" isn't yet included. PamD 12:30, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hey there, MNG. IF you need help determining whether or not a page is an orphan, check out Special:WhatLinksHere. Buggie111 (talk) 16:09, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Persondata and Defaultsort
[edit]How do you add persondata and defaultsort? AWB? Any script or manually? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chaiti_Ghoshal&curid=37576509&diff=521971822&oldid=521964825 Ref] --Tito Dutta (talk) 09:34, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, for the persondata I use the template from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Persondata and as for defaultsort just :type {{DEFAULTSORT:Last name, First name}} and that's it :-)
Kindest regards, (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 09:36, 8 November 2012 (UTC))
- (talk page stalker) I use {{lifetime}}, abbreviated to "l", in {{subst:l|birthdate|deathdate|sortkey}} - eg {{subst:L|1901|1999|Bloggs, Joe}} or {{subst:L|||Bloggs, Joe}}, which adds the DEFAULTSORT and the birth and death date categories. If deathdate is empty it adds Category:Living people (you can add "missing" or "unknown" if they're dead but no date is available - the former where it should be findable, the latter if not, eg historic person). It's a useful shortcut. PamD 12:31, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks Pam!
(MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 12:51, 8 November 2012 (UTC))
- {{lifetime}} is actually depreciated and shouldn't be used. You won't find it on any articles. It actually gets DEFAULTSORT wrong on non standard cases and doesn't add all the information Persondata does. I think Persondata will be depreciated within the next year when WikiData is fully on-line, but that is just a personal opinion.
- {{DEFAULTSORT:Last name, First name}} is not always the case. There are a ton of permutations. Look at WP:NAMESORT for the grizzly details. I essentially wrote the section, so if you have questions on a DEFAULTSORT value, just ask. Bgwhite (talk) 18:38, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
- The answers just keep on flowing... Thanks Bgwhite!
(MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 18:52, 8 November 2012 (UTC))
- There's nothing at {{lifetime}} to say that it's deprecated, but I only use it with "subst" so it disappears as soon as I've saved the article. As far as I know, PERSONDATA doesn't generate the birth and death date cats: does it create a sort key? I thought an article needed DEFAULTSORT and date cats as well as PERSONDATA: am I wrong there?
- For more on the details of what should be in the DEFAULTSORT, see WP:NAMESORT - re Icelandic names etc! PamD 20:41, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
- Any article that shows up with lifetime gets redone with persondata and appropriate cats. I know of a few bots and individuals who do this. So, instead of a person adding lifetime, use persondata and appropriate cats as more information gets added. For example, "short description" in persondata is a required parameter, but lifetime doesn't add it. It also doesn't add birth place and death place either. All I'm saying is lifetime doesn't add everything, so somebody else ends up adding it in. It's better to do it for oneself. Bgwhite (talk) 21:43, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
- An article where {{subst|l}} won't "show up with lifetime", of course. But you haven't clarified for me, and nor does Wikipedia:Persondata, whether Persondata replaces, or supplements, DEFAULTSORT, Category:nnnn births, Category:nnnn deaths and Category:Living people.
- I do a lot of stub-sorting, and I add the above items when they're missing, in the quickest and most convenient way, which is the use of {{subst|l}}. I'm not realy interested in adding a whole complicated template with compulsory fields, so I'll continue as I'm doing unless someone shows me a very good reason not to!

map size (infobox settlement)
[edit]You recently made changes to several pages I have just put up, e.g. Yao Islet, reducing the map size to 350. Is there any (unspoken) law about that? I made them all 768 which is my maximum client width, because the features are very small and otherwise unviewable. Is there a better way of doing it, invoking Location map Bantayan directly?
I don't like changes made without any explanation, seemingly on whim, and within my definition of vandalism. Johnmperry (talk) 01:02, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hello Mr. Perry. Yes I did make the changes. I agree firstly that it would be best if there was a map with a closer frame. ::However, my reasoning for doing was that people truly interested in the article and are there to research something then they just ::have to click on the map and it would open in another tap full view, no?
- The way the article was presented made it about a map, it was the first instant thought when the page appeared. The actual ::article and information, along with any other information that another contributor puts would be simply lost to a map. In my ::work as a magazine editor I was always trained to avoid such layout.
- However, if you would like your article to look like that, then you are free to change it, I worked on an observation. An ::observation to streamline the article. I won't re-change or take anything further.
- Kindest regards,
- (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 09:13, 14 November 2012 (UTC))

The Archduke Joseph (diamond) article
[edit]Hello MrNiceGuy1113. Thank you for your contribution to Archduke Joseph (diamond). But seriously I don't think the inclusion of the picture of Archduke Joseph is such a great idea. People go to the article to learn about the diamond. If they want to know about Archduke Joseph August of Austria there is a link in the article that points to his own article. What should go there is a picture of the diamond if you can find a non-copyrighted one. Basemetal00 (talk) 11:12, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
- Agreed Basemetal00, I put in the picture anyway to make the article a little more engaging. However, I have no issue with it being ::removed... now, where can we find an image, any thoughts?
- Kindest regards,
- (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 11:22, 14 November 2012 (UTC))
- Well all the news organisations and newspapers (AP, Reuters, BBC, etc.) carried a picture of this diamond. Problem is, are we allowed to use those pictures? Do you know, or do you know someone who knows? If we're not allowed to, I will do a little research as to where whoever obtained the pictures of other diamonds (e.g. Koh-i-Noor, Hope Diamond, etc.) obtained them. At worst we could obtain an old, historical, photograph of the Archduke Joseph, one from before the diamond was slightly recut in the 1990s. But that's ok, as long as we clearly annotate the picture as a historical one, of the diamond before it was recut. Basemetal00 (talk) 12:01, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
- I would say there is not much point with the main agencies. Is there a "helpdesk" at wikicommons I wonder? Or maybe direct to :Christies as they would have had a catologue, no?
- Anyway. Wishing you the best with the hunt!

Stub sorting
[edit]Recently, I've been working on WikiProject Stub Sorting, moving articles marked as {{stub}} to more specific stub categories so that people who know about a specific topic can focus on stubs about that topic. I noticed that you've tagged a lot of articles (at least 45) with a generic {{stub}}, which makes more work for stub sorters. A (mostly) complete list of all available stub types can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_types. A userscript which makes finding stub categories easier is available at User:MC10/stubtagtab.js. — Wolfgang42 (talk) 03:24, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

List of Plantation Great Houses in Jamaica
[edit]Greetings MNG. While curating List of Plantation Great Houses in Jamaica you tagged it with {{lead too short}}. Do you have any concrete suggestions for what more the lede should contain? In my experience, "List" articles often have exactly such very simple openings. -Arb. (talk) 16:19, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- Never mind; Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Stand-alone_lists#Lead covers it. -Arb. (talk) 16:23, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Arb,
- Apologies, ou are right, I should have put a suggestion to the talk page. Simply put my feeling is that a little explanation to :what a plantation house is. I understand to some degree as my ancestry is Irish, who suffered a lot though "plantations" both :within Ireland and abroad to places like Jamaica, am I correct that we are talking about the same types of plantations? I just felt :that the opening lead section didn't quiet explain what a plantation house was, was it a work house or simply just a plantation :where items were grown?
- Kindest regards to you Arb and many thanks for pointing out my own failing!

Tagging on creation
[edit]User Gnangarra and others are involved in an edit a thon regarding a project which has been held today - to tag articles on creation (or within 10 minutes of creation ) is way well beyond WP:AGF and allowing created articles to be adequately edited... also to follow them (the articles) with tags is outright bad faith... try looking seeing how many edits have been made by a user, also check to see - yes, he is an admin - very unlikely to create a taggable offence... best to investigate a bit further before tagging anything... SatuSuro 09:17, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for the advise SatuSuro. It would however be nice if you could give me a specific example about which article we are talking about. The beauty of wikipedia and tagging is that they can be removed very easily, no? Yes there are some excellent contributors on here who do excellent work, there is however many others who only do a half-good job and then leave it. So I apologise if I have stepped on somebody's toes. But if I may point out it is very easy for any contributor to add a tag to the article saying that it is in the process of being expanded and worked on, so people like us know to give the contributor the space :to continue their work uninterrupted, no?
- It is good practice for anybody who takes their writing seriously to read their material properly before posting, to make sure things like minor copyedits and language are not missed. And any contributor can easily remove a tag when they return to finish their work. I will heed your advise and stay away from any article that is freshly created.
- Kindest regards to you and again thank you for the comment and advise.
- (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 10:20, 1 December 2012 (UTC))
It appears that english is not your native language - repeated usage of the spelling of advise is a dead giveaway, as well as non-conventional usage of colons (the puns in relation to colonoscopy are not printable) - offering advice (sic) to long standing editors on the project with large edit counts is simply naive and foolhardy SatuSuro 23:46, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
- please see List of heritage places in Fremantle every single article I created today is on that list, every item on that list is on the register of heritage places, which includes world heritage sites, the base of each article was started on that single source in the template {{COF plaques}}. I'm sure you can appreciate the amount of time, cost and work that goes into running a series of workshops and how unwelcoming to new editors who are being guided through the process such tagging is, its also very unprofessional response that reinforces all the bad things our partners have heard about working with Wikimedians. All of these articles will be expanded, additional sources added they have not been abandoned, I'm sure 7+ years of editting and having written FA's, authored FP's garners me a little WP:AGF in that articles I create during a workshop wont be abandoned. I not sure how many workshops or training session you've run but sometimes creating simple fixes is a better way to engage some new editors rather than having them starting articles from scratch. These articles are being written to be linked to QR codes which will be placed on each building see Freopedia project, feel free to chip in and help expand the articles rather than just throw tags around there's plenty of sources available digitally(online) thru National Archives of Australia.

- While we can all get the odd spelling wrong, SatuSoro's got a point in querying your unusual use of colons: I don't know whether they're meant for emphasis, or as the equivalent of quote marks, or what, as they aren't used like that in any register of written English with which I'm familiar. It might be better to stop using colons in this way. Thanks. (And remember to check that you've indented all the paragraphs you mean to indent, including your signature!) PamD 09:34, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
- It seemed more than just a query about my irrational use of colons, more like a shot at my own colon? Anyway I'm not here to get into a childish slugging match about colons and colonoscopies. Simply, I had put the colons (:) in front of each sentence to create the indentation, as opposed to just at the start of the paragraph, I have removed them now. I made the faux pas in error after trying to figure out SatuSoro's message. If people had seen my same text after clicking "edit" it would have been easily spotted that I had put them (:) at the start of each sentence as opposed to writing in some neu-style. Anyway folks, lets all move on to better things.
- Many thanks,

Hi there
[edit]Hi, just wanted to drop you a quick note to ask if you could remove AfC tags when patrolling new pages. I noticed that when you patrolled False diffusion you left the AfC tag in place, and it really doesn't want to be present on articles in the mainspace. If you don't know what I'm talking about you can check the diff in the edit history to see what I removed. Thanks. Pol430 talk to me 17:26, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Pol430, thank you for taking the time to get onto me. However, I am at a loss to understand what an "Afc tag" is. I have checked over the previous and the current one, but still fail to see. I would appreciate if you had the patience to explain to me a bit further.
- Kindest regards and many thanks,
- No problem. If you have a look at this edit I made, you can see I removed some commented-out text and, more importantly, an AfC tag — that's the bit of Wikicode that looks like this: {{AFC submission|||ts=20121204070109|u=Msiitmandi|ns=2}}. When you save a page with that piece of code on it, it produces an AfC tag — which looks like the tag you can see at the bottom of this page (scroll to the bottom). They are used to keep track of AfC submissions, they should be removed when a submission gets transfered into the main article space, but sometimes they get left in place. If they don't get removed from the article then that article sits on the AfC 'pending submissions' list for ever — which is annoying... Hope that answers your question? :-) Pol430 talk to me 19:11, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
- Okay I get you now and understand what the tag means and looks like. Thank you for taking the time to help with clearing that up. I will keep an eye out in future so for such tags.
- Again, many thanks

[edit]- Your additions are a marked improvement to the article! I have some concerns about the external links used for attribution, as they do not constitute a reliable source, but there is no really compelling urgency to replace the refs, given that the content is decidedly non-controversial. I'll see ifh the Times' archive might yield anything of value. Anyway, even though it's not "my" article, I really appreciate the courtesy of your message :-). I've been meaning to return to some of my earliest contributions, given that the articles in question are invariably unsourced and in dire need of attention, but my activity on Wikipedia has been severely curtailed these past few years. That's been frustrating, to say the least. Happy editing and very happy holidays! SoLando (Talk) 14:32, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi SoLando, Thank you for taking the time to check my work and to reply. I agree with your observations about the references, both that they are not the world's best and also that it is not the world's most controversial topic. As it didn't really participate in any "major" event what was available online was not a lot. The Times have an archieve? Most interesting, could you send me the link? It could be most valuable and useful for any future work.

Stub tagging
[edit]Please avoid using the national tag at all costs. In almost all circumstances, there is no legitimate reason to use it, and it shows a lack of care for detail in nuances that much of the media shameless displays in their depiction of Chinese geography.

[edit]what you need to do is to read edit histories very very carefully - I did not write the Suharto article - simply did a few very small maintenance issue edits. SatuSuro 14:41, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you. I will do that in the future.
- First todays edits were simply creating the new sub-article : -http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Early_life_and_career_of_Suharto&action=history
- Before that - the main article: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Suharto&action=history
- Then if you are really keen - http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/Contributors.php?wikilang=en&wikifam=.wikipedia.org&grouped=on&page=Suharto - includes many editors no longer with us - banned, blocked, lost and disappeared editors amongst that lot...
- But that is nothing compared to the people actually looking at the main article... http://stats.grok.se/en/latest90/Suharto
compared to the new article... http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/Early_life_and_career_of_Suharto
So you should have a better idea of who to even consider when you look at an article from those points of view SatuSuro 15:10, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot. This will definitely make it easier for me.
- Kindest regards
Adding sections to articles
[edit]Hello MrNiceGuy1113,
I have noticed that you kept on adding irrelevant or useless sections or simply tagging section templates on my articles. Can you please stop doing them, especially when my articles are too short?Two or three paragraphs in my articles do not mean that they are necessary for building a section. Think again.
Thank you! Raymarcbadz (talk) 10:21, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- Point noted. It will not happen again.

Lead too long
[edit]For articles like Pardey Lukis, {{lead too long}} does not apply because there is no lead. That's the whole article. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:30, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hello Crisco. I will certainly keep that in mind from now. Thank you for pointing this out.
- Kindest regards
- (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 03:25, 29 January 2013 (UTC))
- You're welcome. Sadly not all articles are developed enough to need a lead (Ratna Moetoe Manikam is another that comes to mind). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:45, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hello. I looked up the Ratna Moetoe Manikam article. It's an interesting one.
- Thanks for taking time out to send these reminders.
I'm back to make life miserable
[edit]I've been away from your talk page too long. I feel like you need someone to give you a hard time. :)
Careful again on the DEFAULTSORTS. This edit you forgot it was an Asian name. Also there needs a space after the comma. The space does matter as without it, it moves the article to the front of the sort order. In this edit, the last name is Doctora and not Jr.

Speedy deletion nomination of Mayu River
[edit]Hello MrNiceGuy1113,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Mayu River for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article, [[:{{{article}}}]].

Defaultsort/Persondata & Chinese/Korean surnames
[edit]Quick rule of thumb: in Chinese and Korean names, the portion of the name with more syllables is usually the given name. Virtually all Chinese and Korean surnames are one syllable, with very few exceptions (Ouyang, Namgung, and Hwangbo are the only ones you're likely to ever encounter). Hyphenated surnames are extremely uncommon in these countries and in virtually all cases if you see a hyphen, it is being used to join the two syllables of the given name. Happy editing, quant18 (talk) 15:30, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Chasing each other
[edit]I guess you're doing the same thing as me - working through the Category:Pages with missing references list to correct them.
I don't want to bitch, but it does seem that on more than one occasion you've been too hasty, and committed without checking results. For instance The Grapes of Wrath (film) - it quite clearly states at the end what the problem was (needed a {{reflist|group=amazon}}
) but all you did was insert another {{reflist}} immediately before the one that was there, which didn't cure anything.
I take this exercise as an opportunity to apply other edits to the article too, if it grabs my fancy. So in this example (The Grapes of Wrath (film)) the simple solution would be just to do what the error message tells you. But the longer solution, and probably what the original author wanted, is to remove the group name from the <ref>.
I'm also keen on articles having proper citations, which aren't dead, so I often try to clean the citations too. That usually involves a change from a straight [http://a.b.c xxxx] style to a full-blown {{cite web}} because then I can add a date showing when the link was last checked. Takes time.
Like I said, I'm not really bitching, but if you don't do it right, then you're wasting your time. John of Cromer in Philippines (talk) mytime= Thu 11:19, wikitime= 03:19, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
- Hey, you're not bitching or bothering at all. What you pointed out was, in fact, true and of great help. I didn't know about the adverse effect of such careless edits. I am happy you told me.
- Thanks a lot
O 7
[edit]Hi MrNiceGuy1113,
I have seen your edits and thx for correcting grammar errors. English is not native to me. Perhaps you could also have a look at ″O 1″ - ″O 6″ that I also created recently.
About the new layout I am not sure. It is my understanding that important dates are to be integrated in the text see French battleship Charlemagne under ″Construction and career″ for an example. Plus they are also listed orderly in the infobox.
The source of the information is the link given under ″External links″.

Oriol de Bolòs
[edit]- I have removed the message you put on my user page, since an appropriate place for it might have been my talk page, or the Oriol de Bolòs talk page, or nowhere.
- As you can see, the edit summary I gave when creating Oriol de Bolòs was "initial translation from Spanish". This is because I was just translating es:Oriol de Bolòs i Capdevila with minimal changes. The style was largely that of the original, not necessarily my own.
- You are of course welcome to edit the article, but I can do without the lecture, thank you. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 13:59, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
- Dear Ghost,
- If someone letting you know (with courtesy) the changes that they made to an article that you created as a "lecture", then it may do you well to grow a thicker skin for the online world. I know I am welcome to edit a page (constructively) as I did with yours, I also know that I did nothing malicious or untowars in my edits or in my note to you afterwards. As for the writing my courtesy note on your Userpage, yes you are right, it was an oversight on my behalf--should I apologise, no not really, it was simply a simple oversight.
- That's all, I wish you a good day and happy wiki-ing,
- (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 14:39, 14 April 2013 (UTC))

The place associated with the Adil Shahi dynasty and the site of Gol Gumbaz is Bijapur, Karnataka, about which we already have an article. Deor (talk) 15:10, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Indian articles
[edit]Hi, I've noticed you are attempting to resolve {{unreferenced}} tags across a range of Indian articles. Unfortunately, I've had to revert some of these. For example, the Australian genealogy website (and also royalark,net) that you used is not reliable per WP:RSN, onefivenine often mirrors our content, and lists of Jat clans are 10-a-penny on the web but rarely with any provenance (again, they often mirror our content). In all honesty, I wouldn't trust websites for much at all when it comes to sourcing India-related articles - even the government and the newspapers regularly copy our content and so unless you are familiar with the things it is very easy to hit problems. In the case of caste/clan articles there is also an issue with ambiguity, since names are repeated and multfariously transliterated in completely different settings: it is a complete nightmare. - Sitush (talk) 12:26, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Lambiek Comiclopedia not reliable any more?
[edit]Hello there. I need your help regarding your
on article Alessandro Bignamini I have made. The article has the most reliable referenced source, "Lambiek Comiclopedia", which is the main English language online comics encyclopedia in Europe (and widely used as such in all Wikipedias). There is also external link to artist's biography on Sergio Bonelli Editore official site, which supports all data in the article. Bignamini is quite known artist and I can easily add more Italian and other non-English references, but in order to know precisely what you expect me to do, please help me with your clarification: why do you think "Lambiek Comiclopedia" is not reliable any more. Thanks, enjoy the day. --Stripar (talk) 23:02, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

refimprove-tagging
[edit]Hello MrNiceGuy.
I saw you tagged 2013–14 ISU Speed Skating World Cup – World Cup 2 – Women's 3000 metres for refimprove. In my view, every claim in the article is backed by the reference. It is a single reference, but it is issued by the organizer of the World Cup, so I'd guess it counts as authoritative. So I removed the tagging.
Also, you might as well add the refimprove tag with the |date=October 2013
parameter set from the beginning, to reduce the number of edits needed in the project.
Cheers.

The New York Times Fiction Best Sellers of 1946
[edit]Re your recent tag: Let me just say that if you can find a second published source for this obscure list, short of rifling though every Sunday edition of the NYT from the year 1946, you're welcome to add it. It is my plan to eventually fill in all of these lists using Bear, the cited source, but I would hope you don't tag them all, despite the cited policy, as it is just too toilsome. Bear is a valid source. Other references may follow in time, from me or from other editors, but you don't need to remind me or what is likely to average 3 readers a day that there is only one source. Let's get these lists made, then we can worry about additional resources. Thanks. Verne Equinox (talk) 22:22, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Coordinate problems
[edit]Thank you for your efforts in adding geographic coordinates to articles, but please be more careful when doing so. For instance, the coordinates you added to Carnegie Building (Pittsburgh) indicated a location in Atlanta, Georgia, not Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; similarly, those you added to Eighth Street Bridge (Pennsylvania) did not match the location specified in the article, and those you added to Northampton Community College and Saint Teresa of Avila School (also in Pennsylvania) indicated locations in England and Los Angeles, respectively.
In addition, the {{coord}}
template you're pasting into articles contains an intrusive URL within the word "type" in the parameters, causing the type to be malformed and unread. (And the correct type for schools is "edu", not "landmark".) In general, no references should be attached to uses of the {{coord}}
template, since the coordinates are verifiable simply by clicking on them and consulting one of the online maps linked from the GeoHack page; and including material in <ref></ref> tags the way you are doing creates a stray citation marker below the text of the article.
Again, thanks for your work; however, you may want to read the information at WP:GEO carefully before continuing. Deor (talk) 11:33, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
Reliable sources
[edit]Thanks for adding sources to articles, but when you are adding sources could you please only cite sources that satisfy Wikipedia:Reliable sources.

Removal of cleanup tags / addition of unreliable sources
[edit]Please don't add unreliable sources and remove cleanup tags. Amazon, eBay, etc are not reliable sources. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:03, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- You seem to have some real problems understanding what exactly a reliable source is, so I figured I'd leave a slightly more verbose message. Reliable sources need to have an editorial team that fact checks information on the site. User generated content, such as what you see at the IMDb, is not considered reliable. Social networking sites, online stores, blogs, and other self-published sources are also not reliable. Primary sources can be reliable, but they should be used with caution. Examples of primary sources would be the company itself (OK for basic facts, like date of establishment), court documents, eyewitness accounts, and the official website of whatever it is that you're writing about. Primary sources should not be used in biographies of a living person.
- If you're not sure, look at the "About us" or "Contact us" page of a website. If it doesn't list an editorial team, exclusively uses first-person nouns (for example, "Welcome to my site! I established this web site in 2006. All copyrights are reserved by me."), or there's a way to edit the content yourself (like the IMDb or Wikipedia), it's probably not reliable. Newspapers, magazines, books, and scientific journals are usually reliable, but you should validate that they have been reliably published. Books are sometimes self-published, newspapers can be unreliable tabloids that spread gossip, and magazines can be self-published webzines. None of those are suitable for a citation, and they should never be used in a biography of a living person.
- I suggest that you slow down, stop making so many edits per hour, and validate that your sources are actually reliable. If you're having trouble doing so, you can always ask for help. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:59, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- First, I'd like to apologize for what must have seemed like a mass-revert of your edits, but I think the articles in question were better off tagged with cleanup templates than left with unreliable sources, such as eBay and the IMDb. This way, it signifies to editors that the articles still need cleanup. As far as reliable sources go, here are some pointers:
- WP:ALBUMS/SOURCES, a list of reliable sources vetted by WikiProject Albums
- WP:VG/RS, same from WikiProject Video Games
- WP:FILM/R, same from WikiProject Film
- WP:CMC/REF, same from WikiProject Comics
- Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and Indiewire are good sources for films. The IMDb is a good starting point, but its content is user-generated and thus unreliable. The IMDb can not be cited as a reliable source, and many editors (such as me) will automatically remove any citations to the IMDb that they find. Some people swear by Allmusic/AllRovi, but I don't. Its content is mostly reliable: the reviews are professionally written, but some other aspects of it (such as mood and genre) are user-submitted. You can (and probably should) cite the reviews, but Allmusic can't be used to establish notability, as their purpose is to document everything, no matter how non-notable it is. The A.V Club, IGN, Entertainment Weekly, and TIME are good sources for pop culture (music, comics, films, books, etc). CNN, ABC, CBS, etc are also good sources to check. Also make sure to check the BBC for British stuff, CBC for Canadian stuff, etc. The New York Times, The Guardian, The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, and Forbes are also good to check when you need a stuffy, upper-class viewpoint. Also try The Atlantic, The New Yorker, Maclean's, and other news magazines for in-depth coverage of national topics. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:43, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
- Hi
- Thank you so much for taking the time out to send me this message. I am relieved. These websites and magazine names that you have provided will certainly make my life easier and my articles more accurately referenced. Please keep sending me any other links and info that you deem necessary.
- Also, what about these websites, CD Universe, discogs, metalarchives.com, letterboxd.com, last.fm, allguitar.com? Are they reliable sources? It would be of great help if you could look them up and let me know.
- Sorry to bother you again.
- (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 07:11, 28 January 2014 (UTC))
- WP:RS/N is where I usually go if I'm not sure. It's got a searchable archive that you can use to see what people think about websites. Discogs.com and Metal-archives.com are both user-submitted, so they're not reliable. Social media sites are worthless. Letterboxd.com, last.fm, Facebook, Myspace, etc. are never reliable sources. CD Universe, Amazon, eBay, etc. are online stores. Some editors believe that Amazon.com is a reliable source for release dates, but it would be rather contentious to use it for anything else. I believe there are better sources than Amazon.com, and a link to Amazon.com in the lead really doesn't accomplish much. The same thing goes for Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, Allmovie, and other databases. There are better places in the article to place them, such as the reception section and external links. We have special templates for adding most of them. For example, see template:IMDb title and template:Rotten Tomatoes. For films, I could give you extensive lists for genres, but I'm not sure it would really be all that useful. Try the obvious ones: Fangoria or Bloody Disgusting for horror films, Twitch Film for Asian films, Film Threat for cult films, and Indiewire for independent films. Screen International, Film Journal International, Bright Lights Film Journal, etc are also obvious choices. Rolling Stone, NME, MTV, Pitchfork Media, Kerrang, Sputnikmusic, and The A.V. Club are good sources for music news and criticism, I suppose. Most people use Billboard for charts. AllRovi is useful for their reviews. Try looking at what Good and Featured articles use for their sources and use those sources yourself. Avoid blogs, like Blogspot and Wordpress. Try to avoid sites that look like they're run by fans, volunteers, or other non-professionals. Be especially wary of sites that have bizarre names that make no sense: vizookzi.com or whatever. They're often spam sites, what is sometimes called a splog. Also, never use an illegal site as a reference: torrent sites, warez sites, MP3 piracy sites, etc. I don't know. WP:RS and WP:RSN are a good start, and it's a matter of common sense and experience after that. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 11:07, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

The article Mustang coffee has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Didn't locate any substantive coverage on a search. Appears to be a non-notable coffee cocktail.
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}}
