On 20 June 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Nujeen Mustafa, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Nujeen Mustafa, a teenage Syrian refugee with cerebral palsy, traveled 3,500 miles (5,600 km) in a wheelchair to seek asylum in Germany? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Nujeen Mustafa. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Nujeen Mustafa), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I have a dwindling stack of drafts at User:BD2412/sandbox#Disambig resolvers. If any of these seem interesting to you, let me know, and I'll be glad to focus on that in collaboration. bd2412 T 21:47, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm...I'm going to have to take some time and poke around to see what the sources look like on these. GMG^talk 18:58, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@BD2412: I think I may try to take a look at Toilet training if you're interested. It's a desperately anemic article that gets a sustained hundreds of daily views (and whatever happened on 10 December 2018 that prompted 276k views). The poor talk page is just a decade old desert of readers asking for a better article. GMG^talk 10:51, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm up for it - I'll have a serious look over the weekend. bd2412 T 10:59, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be travelling over the weekend myself, but I was poking around some books this morning, and there is a lot of fluff parenting garbage, but there also seems a lot of really high quality sources available. In particular things like this [1] [2]. GMG^talk 11:19, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I didn't get around to working on this - I did mean to, but I have been on a project that pretty severely cut into my editing time. bd2412 T 02:12, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey no worries. I still had fun working on it. Couldn't hurt to keep an eye out though. There are a couple of WikiEd students around who may need some guidance from more experienced editors. GMG^talk 11:44, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, same message to Teahouse, where there's some detective work going on. Language is Rumârește, which has only 500 speakers left.

Random ping for User: Alex Nico, who seems fairly active and apparently speaks Romanian and Aromanian as well as English. So they may be able to help? GMG^talk 19:03, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the ping. Unfortunately, Istro-Romanian is a bit too different from Aromanian and Romanian to be understood by me.

Concerning your comment on User:Buffs' talk page: If you believe I have mischaracterized your motivations or actions, I sincerely apologise for my description. I do not want to impugn your reputation as an editor or your judgment in interpreting the policy as to whether blogs can be used as reliable sources. The overwhelming majority of blogs or self-published material cannot be used as RS. We agree on this point. Again, I am very sorry if I said anything, by statement or implication, disparaging you. Cheers, Mark Ironie (talk) 16:53, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No worries Mark Ironie. If I have anything, it's a thick skin, and I'm not sure I really have any reputation of any count worthy to be besmirched. El C just seemed intent on sorting things out and I didn't want them to misunderstand the situation. If I am anything, I am virulently contrarian. But that can be easily misunderstood by others as picking a side. If I can ever be of any help for anything at all please feel free to let me know and I'll do my best to assist in any way I can. GMG^talk 00:16, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Glad it's copacetic. I only mentioned your name because you started the RfC. It seemed pertinent at the time because it was the one of the three actions Buffs didn't start but I shouldn't have dragged your name into it. Thanks for the offer of help and that goes likewise for you. Cheers, Mark Ironie (talk) 00:33, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, I come from a...sympathetic personal background, but the parties involved don't seem to have any interest in working together, and I have very many more things that i could be doing with my volunteer time on Wikimedia projects. If they ever do decide to have a nuanced discussion without name calling and walls of text, feel free to ping me and I'll be happy to offer a third opinion. GMG^talk 01:26, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GreenMeansGo. El C asked me to please stay off of Buffs' talk page so I am going to respond here. I hope that's okay.

Regarding the extended relationship off-wiki, three of the events we were at I was the main speaker so there wasn't really time for friendly interaction. There is no concerted effort on our parts, I can absolutely see where that would be the impression though. I know it looks messed up that we agree on topics that we edit and I am not sure how to change that for the better. I hear you on the two person consensus. If there are only three people trying to gain consensus what do you recommend? I freak out over the idea of posting on Project Indigenous about things like that (I know that's what it's there for) because it feels like canvassing to me. Which is my problem, I get that and I should probably get over it for everyone's benefit. I would sincerely welcome any advice you might have. Thanks a bunch for your time. I really appreciate it. Indigenous girl (talk) 16:32, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Personally? I keep an eye out for editors who tend to agree with me as often as they disagree, and who make solid arguments regardless of whether we are on the same "side". I keep them in my pocket to ping when I reach an impasse. Unfortunately, that generally needs to happen before things devolve into overwhelming walls of text and bad faith name-calling. To that point, I also try to be the first person in line to call out people on my own "side" when they make poor arguments that are primarily driven by emotion and intuition rather than reason and evidence, and when they start approaching things primarily in terms of sides instead of arguments. If someone else makes a better argument than I do, then I should leave on the same side as they are, and thank them for their trouble. If someone is a Churchillian fanatic, who won't change their mind and won't change the subject, then Wikipedia is probably not the best place for them to contribute quite yet. GMG^talk 21:45, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent advice and duly noted. I especially like and will particularly take into account, "If someone else makes a better argument than I do, then I should leave on the same side as they are, and thank them for their trouble." I think that's something that is a very important tool for rapport building. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Indigenous girl (talk) 01:03, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

let me improve the article and make it encyclopedic. I see you point. The article looks too descriptive. --Graphenon (talk) 15:03, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Graphenon. The problem is not that the article is "too descriptive". The problem is that the article reads like an advertisement, and Wikipedia is not a means of advertising or promotion. GMG^talk 15:07, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've declined the G11 for the minute to give the creator to clean it up a bit more. If he hasn't done so, stick the tag back on. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 16:28, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hope all is well with you. I need a photo and am not remotely sure how to do this. I found this image of "A Keméndy-ház 1883-ban" (Keméndy House circa 1883) in Toth's book, which says the sign at the top of the building says it's the "Institute of Irma Keméndy". It appears to have been cropped from this larger image which is on "Fortepan". The description about the project says "Fortepan is a copyright-free and community-based photo archive with over 100,000 photographs available for anyone to browse and download in high-resolution, free of charge. The images are free to share with the appropriate credit given as FORTEPAN / NAME OF DONOR. Please do provide the full credit at all times as it is a tribute to the selfless contribution of the donor." and the information on the photo says "1900. Hungary, Szeged Dugonics tér a Főreáltanoda (ma a Szegedi Egyetem központi épülete) felől nézve (a felvétel 1885 körül készült). DONOR: Fődi Gábor PHOTO ID: 24022 Results: 29 / 815". So, I want to use the fortepan image on the article for Adele Zay and the cropped one from Toth for the article on Keméndy, but I do not know how to mark one as a derivative of the other. Can you help? SusunW (talk) 15:06, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey SusunW. I don't trust any image credit that just says 1900, because a lot of people don't care and just put that as a round-about guess. Probably the more accurate date then is the 1885 one. Because 1885 was more than 120 years ago, and the author is unknown, you can upload it using c:Template:PD-old-assumed. You can either upload the larger version and crop it on Commons using c:Commons:CropTool. Or you can upload them separately and use c:Template:Derivative versions and c:Template:Derived from to indicate that one is a crop (CropTool will do this for you automatically). I would recommend doing whichever one gives you a higher resolution file in the end. GMG^talk 15:25, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, GreenMeansGo. I totally appreciate your help! I am not sure I understand, but I'll give it a go. I took the 1900 to mean when it was published. What I know for sure is the house was destroyed in the 1879 flood, permits to rebuild were issued in 1881 and Toth says this is what it looked like in 1883, so probably taken 1883-1885. There's other images from this same website loaded on commons, so I'll probably just copy that format. I'll let you know how it goes. :) SusunW (talk) 15:44, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Good luck with everything. There's also no harm in putting as much information in the file description as you can. Doesn't have to be a clean date only. It's not beyond me to argue to keep files at COM:DR based on newspaper clippings about buildings burning down, floods, and other assorted acts of God. GMG^talk 15:49, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've done it, but not sure. Can you look at this and this. You have no idea how much I appreciate your help. SusunW (talk) 17:02, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I did a bit of arranging, but I'd say if you're copying the style used by User:Fæ then you're probably good. GMG^talk 17:43, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly what I did! Find someone you trust, do what they do :) It also helped that I had found the Toth book, because it told me who the original author was and thus, clearly it is well out of copyright. I really appreciate the help. I figured if I stuck the template on there, you would fix my mistakes. SusunW (talk) 17:46, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tis I (again) your most frequent pest. I have been searching for images to use on this new article, but alas almost all of them seem to be owned by the Historical and Geographical Society of Brazil. I found this on Colégio Piracicabano, ca. 1928 and am thinking it meets Commons:Template:PD-Brazil-URAA but am not sure. Reading the page for Brazil is confusing, as I don't really understand the right of panorama. Does that apply to buildings (architecture?) or just artworks in public spaces. But maybe it doesn't matter since this was published in 1928 without specifying any author and is not an artistic photograph? SusunW (talk) 15:54, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, most or all countries allow freedom of panorama for buildings (usually defined as something meant to be functionally inhabited by people). The differences are usually whether they allow FoP for artistic works, which Brasil seems to do. So you'd be fine either way. Since that book was first published in 1928, then obviously the picture was first published on that date or earlier, so you should be fine to use PD-Brazil-URAA as far as I can tell. I don't see a credit for an image author anywhere and I'm not really finding any additional information online (through I might be more effective if I spoke Spanish). GMG^talk 16:04, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Greedfall logo 2017.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:34, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey GMG,

Hope you are well. I saw your comment on the thread Snoog started at the HelpDesk and agree. Earlier I'd been reading your comments somewhere and had thought about mentioning the spelling distinction between want (need, desire) & be wont to (have a tendency to). I hope you'll understand this is just meant as a friendly English geek comment, not as an attempt to be unkind. It's odd how SS is multiplying venues rather than discussing on the TP, but I've yet to understand them... 🌿 SashiRolls ^{t · c} 17:55, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

GreenMeansGo, just checking to see whether your most recent comment here was meant to be an approval not only of the ALT2 hook but also a final (re)approval of the nomination as a whole. If so, it's important that you add a new approval icon, since your original icon has long been superseded by other icons that indicate that the nomination has issues and/or needs a subsequent review; without the final icon, the bot won't take the next steps in the process.

Hi! I hate doing the usual impersonal template-based notices for image-deletion process stuff, but since you're the uploader and a major contributor to the page in question (plus it's on the Main Page for at least a few more hours), I wanted to give a heads-up: I've marked My Year of Rest and Relaxation book cover 2019.jpg for deletion. However, it was for a totally chill reason! The cover is not actually eligible for copyright under US law—it's just a public domain painting plus some basic text, which doesn't rise to the threshold of originality for copyright—so I replaced it with a high-res version at Commons. Let me know if you have any questions, concerns, etc., but hopefully this comes as either good news or neutral news at worst. —BLZ · talk 19:57, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your comment on the Michael Nestor article. This article was started by an editor who was eventually banned and I do not think it passes notability, and assuming the request posted was from the actual person whom the article is about, is there any way to address it? Considering the article was started by a banned editor, I think that there may be cause for a delete but would like to know your thoughts. Ricksanchez (talk) 15:19, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Ricksanchez. Sorry for the belated response. I think I saw this on my phone and couldn't reply at the moment, but forgot to reset the ping so I'd be reminded to reply later.

It looks like the article was started well before the user was blocked, so it wouldn't qualify for deletion under something like WP:G5, which only really covers block evasion by previously blocked/banned users.

The subject may very well be marginally notable enough to justify a courtesy deletion. The sources are pretty meh. This appears at first glance to be a piece in a major paper, but is really more of a routine listing. This appears similarly, and is a full article, but only mentions the subject twice in passing. This, this, and this are also just passing mention. This is more in-depth, but it's not clear that it's really a reliable source rather than just "some website". However, this actually seems fairly good as a source. Unfortunately, this seems to be a fairly common name, which makes looking for additional sources a little difficult.

You can always start a deletion discussion and see what the community thinks. It's not necessary for every AfD nom to be "OMG delete this garbage!" You can just start a deletion and say "I'm not totally sure, so I wanted to start a broader community discussion."
