Creating new article for Anamika Mishra
Hello Friend,
I want to request a article of famous India author Anamika Mishra whose 1st novel Too hard To handle was a best seller and her next novel is ready to hit the market any time.Her Interview was published in Hindustan Times , Lucknow Tribune , The Desert Trail and Millenium Post news papers and can also be seen on websites.Her official website is anamikamishra.com and her facebook id is facebook.com/anamikamishraa which consist of 10,000+ fans and her book page is facebook.com/NovelTooHardToHandle .
1.187.222.162 (talk) 19:16, 3 May 2014 (UTC) Happy
- Hi 1.187.222.162! Articles need reliable sources to be created, interviews can only be used to supplement separate coverage of Mishra. If you can paste the URLs of two different pages which talk about Mishra then I may write an article, but at the minute I can't see anything that suggests she is notable. Thanks, Matty.007 19:23, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
WikiCup 2014 April newsletter
Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's Adam Cuerden (submissions) was Round 2's highest scorer, with a large number of featured picture credits. In March/April, he restored star charts from Urania's Mirror, lithographs of various warships (such as SMS Gefion) and assorted other historical media. Second overall was Pool E's
Godot13 (submissions), whose featured list Silver certificate (United States) contains dozens of scans of banknotes recently promoted to featured picture status. Third was Pool G's
ChrisGualtieri (submissions) who has produced a large number of good articles, many, including Falkner Island, on Connecticut-related topics. Other successful participants included
Cliftonian (submissions), who saw three articles (including the top-importance Ian Smith) through featured article candidacies, and
Caponer (submissions), who saw three lists (including the beautifully-illustrated list of plantations in West Virginia) through featured list candidacies. High-importance good articles promoted this round include narwhal from
Reid,iain james (submissions), tiger from
Cwmhiraeth (submissions) and The Lion King from
Igordebraga (submissions). We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to
Czar (submissions) and
Red Phoenix (submissions) for their work on the Sega Genesis topic. No points have been claimed so far for good topics or featured portals.
192 was our lowest qualifying score, again showing that this WikiCup is the most competitive ever. In previous years, 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) or 100 (2010) secured a place in Round 3. Pool H was the strongest performer, with all but one of its members advancing, while only the two highest scorers in Pools G and F advanced. At the end of June, 16 users will advance into the semi-finals. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Bitey, maybe?
This nomination of a new page for speedy deletion four seconds after its creation might be a bit bitey. I generally like to put pages like that on my watchlist and see if the user updates them with the next 10 or 15 minutes. If not, then I'll tag. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:53, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- Only four seconds? I will send my apologies to the article creator. I just patrol the new page feed when I have nothing to do, I don't often look at the time. I think that most CSDs (advertising, nonsensical) are OK soon after creation, I should have held fire a bit longer. Thanks for the heads up WikiDan61. Best, Matty.007 17:56, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
ITN
Hi Matty, I hadn't realised that the WikiCup was awarding points for ITN nominations. Perhaps that's why you've started making so many nominations, most without articles. I'd suggest you let people know that's why you're doing this because it's been unclear why you've suddenly made so many noms without articles. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:58, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- I had just found my way there naturally, believe it or not! The reason I have been nominating without articles is that I want to be sure the thing is notable, I don't massively want to spend one hour writing an article, for it to not meet GNG. I generally can tell, but I find news stories more contentious on notability. Anyway, if the subject is considered notable and no-one has beaten me to it, I have no problem creating the article soonish. Thanks, Matty.007 18:00, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Declined speedy
I've declined the speedy on Trendspotters.tv because the sourcing in the article asserts just enough notability to where it isn't entirely a clean speedy. I'd probably recommend AfD for this one. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:30, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up, I think I was a bit hasty with that one: I should have given it more time before CSD. Thanks, Matty.007 18:11, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Incomplete DYK nomination
Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Benedict Cumberbatch at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; see step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 16:36, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
vandal user
Hey there, Matty. I found a user/IP address who made a large amount of vandal contributions to wikipedia- 137.90.136.111. I sent a warning to them on their talk page, noting that if they kept vandalizing that I would alert an administrator, but I couldn't find any administrators that appeared active recently, so I figured I would send it to you to send to someone, as you're often active (more than me) and might be more knowledgeable about this sort of thing. exoplanetaryscience (talk) 18:04, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- Given how spread out the incidents are, I'm not sure there is much we can do. If there are 5 or so vandalisms in a month I think they can be blocked (warning templates are used 5 times), but admins may block for less than that. If you want me to recommend an admin I have had contact with, Huon and Crisco 1492 have always been nice. Thanks, Matty.007 18:17, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- On the same topic, it appears that the user shares several IP addresses that they edit with to spread the blame around and not be sourced to a single address- 137.90.136.25, 137.90.136.47, 137.90.136.49, 137.90.136.65, 137.90.136.66, 137.90.136.69, 137.90.136.75, 137.90.136.76, 137.90.136.77, 137.90.136.78, 137.90.136.79, 137.90.136.80, 137.90.136.100, 137.90.136.106, 137.90.136.107, 137.90.136.108, 137.90.136.109, 137.90.136.110, 137.90.136.111, 137.90.136.112, and 137.90.136.113. Isn't it kind of not allowed to have several accounts like this? exoplanetaryscience (talk) 00:56, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
- It seems like the user has simply had their IP changed, mine changes regularly so I am not sure if it constitutes IP hopping. However, I am sketchy on this and would strongly advise asking an admin. Thanks, Matty.007 16:19, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

DYK for Benedict Cumberbatch
Template:2014–15 Premier League table
Hi,
Thanks for creating Template:2014–15 Premier League table. However there are multiple issues with the template and reasons why it has not been created yet.
First of all there is consensus at WT:FOOTY to remove the years name it only "Premier League table" so we can use same template season after season without creating new one s every season. Just substitute the template on the pages it is used and then reset it with new teams.
Secondly this templates use helper templates such as template:PL13 which is used and you have added that template (for last season) even in this new template. This template is also to be removed (perhaps never used again)
Thirdly the template:fb cl team is supposed to be replaced by template:fb cl2 team by WT:FOOTY consensus and a TfD.
Finally the template has had a lot of problems with editors not updating the helper template so there has been a new version created without helper template that is being considered being used instead.
Just letting you know so that you dont get surprised if the template gets a major overhauling or even gets deleted (via TfD). QED237 (talk) 16:29, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
- I'm afraid I don't know much about tables in such depth as this, I copied this from the last season's one. I can't see any discussion at the Project regarding this, please can you link me? I only used this season's template, so have no idea about the templates within the templates I'm afraid. Thanks, Matty.007 16:33, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
- No problem, it is a bit complicated. Have to eat now but I will provide the links later. The table will work now as long as it stays on only the PL article and not spread to the team articles. In general there is consensus to use these templates, but they are in development phase and there are new solutions popping up once in a while,that has not gone through WT:FOOTY. QED237 (talk) 16:39, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
- That explains why the bit saying where teams are in the league isn't working... Thanks, Matty.007 16:41, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hi again. I would start by appologizing if this edit is a bit long (and for my bad english) but I will try and explain the league table templates for you and after that provide some links for my concerns above.
- That explains why the bit saying where teams are in the league isn't working... Thanks, Matty.007 16:41, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

QED237 (talk) 16:39, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
- Basically for a few months ago the idea of using a template for league tables was brought in to wikipedia since many/all league article and also the clubs individual article, have the table but many were not updated for weeks. A central template could then be updated by a single editor and then table on all pages was updated and correct (instead of being old an inncorect)
- The problem was to show only a few teams on the club pages (only interesting to show the closest placed teams) and not all teams as we do on main league article, and also how to determine what teams to show. The solution can be seen in Template:2013–14 Premier League table and helper template template:PL13 to keep track of positions (redirect to Template:2013–14 Premier League table/p). In the main league template there are switches to determine what rows to be displayed. So in the article for sixth placed team we have switch for this row to be shown on article for 4th,5th,6th,7th and 8th. This makes sure that we show 5 teams on all the team article (two before in league and two behind). Hard to explain so if you have more questions just ask me.
- The current problem we have been having is that editors have failed to update the helper template (so it could be a table of teams placed 5th,8th,11th,12th and 16th) which is why we try find new solutions so that only one template needs updating (for most of the season). The current solution can be seen at {{2014–15 Eredivisie table}} and Template:2014–15 Eredivisie table/layout. At my talk you can see start of discussion with another user regarding this (I just responded at their talk).
- Regarding the consensus to use these templates you can read about it at
- Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 83#Use of template tables on 2013–14 Football League One and 2013–14 Football League Two
- Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 83#Background color or bolding specific team in table
- Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 121#Displaying a part of the table
- Regarding the consensus to use these templates you can read about it at
- About the naming of templates and not using 2014-15 you can read at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 84#Template:2013–14 X league table or Template:Current X league table and this TfD. Already renamed template are for example Template:Current Fußball-Bundesliga table.

Sorry the review on the Cumberland Island Horses is taking so long. But I guess better that than this. And maybe I should just have done a delete instead. I think initiative is being killed, one molecule at a time. Sigh. This, too, shall pass. But some periods just seem like long stretches of storm clouds. — Maile (talk) 23:55, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

DYK for 2014–15 FA Cup
Claim
Difference is in who is providing the number. SOHR has been designated as an authoritative source on casualty figures by the reliable news media (AFP, AP, BBC, CNN, Guardian, Reuters, etc) on numerous occasions, while the rebel group has no reliability backing it when claiming the number. So saying that the rebel group "gave the death toll as 50" instead of "claimed" makes it sound like the rebel group has some reliability behind it when providing the number. EkoGraf (talk) 17:08, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
- I would have said that the next sentence negates the thought that the rebels had a method, as it does SOHR. Thanks, Matty.007 17:19, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hmmm, could you give me an example of a sentence that you think would be appropriate? EkoGraf (talk) 22:41, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
- To be brutally honest I'm not sure I could. I think that using "gave the number of dead as X" is neutral, but if you disagree with me then I think the article's fine how it is. Thanks, Matty.007 18:04, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

2014 Latakia offensive
Matty, if you could take a look at the article 2014 Latakia offensive that would be great. Recent edits could do with an objective pair of eyes. 94.197.120.49 (talk) 18:39, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
- Which part? Thanks, Matty.007 18:43, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
- He means the edit war over insertion of un-sourced material and removal of sourced material that he and I have been at for the last week. Check the edit history. You can also check Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive262#2014 Latakia Offensive. For the most part we have settled things in regards to the objections/problems he had over: the comparisons between this flight of Armenians to the exodous during the earlier genocide by some people; the propaganda war between the two sides; what kind of militias supported the Army, etc. Today he has a problem with the result of the offensive where he removed the most recent sources and replaced them with older ones (a month older), and has a high desire to point out that government forces who recaptured territory from rebels were reinforced. Frankly I don't understand a reason for pointing that out, especially considering it already says in the results section that forces were diverted. But he insists with adding sources that allegedly say that those specific reinforced forces were the ones who recaptured the territory, but actually they don't. EkoGraf (talk) 22:10, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
- To be honest I'm not really sure who's right here without scrutinising over sources, though from an outer perspective, newer sources often are more accurate. Thanks, Matty.007 18:13, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Congrats on your GA, and thanks for the barnstar!!! Prhartcom (talk) 19:23, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for such a detailed review, and I apologise again for losing my temper. Best, Matty.007 19:27, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
- Oh me too, I thought I was the one who lost their temper. It was all a learning experience, perhaps. My suggestion in the future is to be careful of what you nominate for GA, because there are a lot of reviewers worse than me out there (like the FA reviewers, ugh). All the best, Prhartcom (talk) 19:36, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

His Last Vow
Why do you almost instantly revert my fact that Sherlock never shoots anyone in the head point blank in the novels? Why can't someone add something that says that goes against canon? I don't know what "not a reliable source" means, the source is CONAN DOYLE's BOOKS, I was just giving an article as reference. You also could just delete the web reference instead of undoing all my changes, there are critic reviews in the writing section where they don't belong. 71.226.135.22 (talk) 15:46, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- The reviews in the writing section are more relevant there. Saying that 'in the books Holmes never killed anyone-except in his most famous moment with Moriarty and a guy who didn't count in self defence' sounds like fan trivia, given that he did kill people in the original, and one on purpose then that point seems fairly null. A reliable source is one which comes from an established source, not the first Google result which comes from a bloke on Tumblr. Lastly, we revert then discuss before simply edit warring, which isn't a good policy. I think the fact that in the books Magnussen survived can be added. Moving the chunk from the writing section isn't helpful, it talks about Moffat's writing style, making it more relevant in that section (and you simply moved it to an unrelated part of reviews). Thanks, Matty.007 15:57, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, and just to warn you of the three revert rule, three reversions on the same page in 24 hours will likely result in a block, just a heads up in case you weren't aware. Thanks, Matty.007 15:58, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
Not trying to edit war, I'm sure you can spin edits around me, I just think it's a pretty big difference from the source material but you aren't allowing anything mentioning it. Who specifically (which story) did he kill in the original that you're thinking of? Because if Sherlock was shooting at someone trying to kill him, that's different than executing an unarmed man. And I still say the reviews from specific people belong in the review section, many reviews talk about the writers. Also "Milverton" didn't survive, he was murdered. Thanks. 71.226.135.22 (talk) 16:05, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Not sure what you mean by spin edits, I have no problem with leaving the article how it is until we resolve discussion. Ugh, sorry about saying he survived, I meant was killed by someone else. I'm not "not allowing anything menttioning it", but Sherlock kills people in both the original and this, he executed Moriarty not long before this episode. In the books, Sign of Four had him killing someone, he killed passively and actively, when Watson got shot I seem to remember he shot someone... Moriarty in the TV series was unarmed, he was shot-executed. I know you say the comments go in the review section, but why? Thanks, Matty.007 16:19, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
I meant to say you can edit circles around me, I'm slow and don't know all the edit language. It's been a long time since I read Sign of Four, but it seems like he just shot at Tonga because he was an assassin. Anyway, I removed that part of my edits since I don't know how to not make it sound like an opinion. It just seems to cross the line of what Sherlock was, a detective, not a murderer -- like if Batman just walked up and shot Joker in the head. Moriarty shot himself in the head in the show, and started the fight to the death in the book. The other point isn't hugely important, I've just never seen review excerpts in any part of an article but the Critical Reaction, whether they talk about the writer and director or not. Thanks for discussing, I'll stop editing now. 71.226.135.22 (talk) 16:37, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry if I've put you off, I hope you stick around editing. Do you mind if I tailor your edits a little please? Thanks, Matty.007 16:39, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
No problem. 71.226.135.22 (talk) 16:51, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, always best to work these things out with talking. Please correct any errors I induce, I will leave the reviews in the section you put them in and let someone external move it if they want to. Best, Matty.007 16:53, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
Civility is always appreciated. By the way, the NorwoodBuilder site I quoted seemed to be an expert on all things Sherlock Holmes, not just a random tumblr post, but I'll check my resource procedures. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.226.135.22 (talk) 17:00, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- He may be an expert, but he is anonymous (named, it would seem, The Adventure of the Norwood Builder) and we cannot take him as a reliable source unless he has been used as such I don't think. That's my understanding of policy, but I may be wrong. Thanks again, Matty.007 17:36, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
FWIW
Hi Matty, Congrats on the Millie Knight GA! FWIW, I think that when we make edits like this following a GA-pass, it confuses the bot that goes in and adds the icon to the article and such, I think it might also upgrade the wikiproject tagging. I might be wrong about this, but this time I manually added the icon to the article, but normally I haven't needed to. Not sure what's up with that, but just a FWIW for future note. Montanabw(talk) 17:24, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Odd that, here I had to add them as opposed to the bot doing them, but it did do the icon. Strange forces... Thanks again for the review, Matty.007 17:32, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Is there any particular reason why you suddenly decide to tag bomb my article and slap a BS WP:OR allegation on it, you've never even bothered to discuss any concerns with me or identify what is WP:OR you just slapped a load of tags on it just after it had been promoted for DYK. There was a lot of work went into writing that from scratch and I see you actions as absuing process for no good reason. WCMemail 16:39, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
