	Your good work has admirers. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 21:15, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Thank you. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:15, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes, it has. Admirers among admins too, it seems; because AFAICS, you could might have been blocked for 3RR vio at [1]. But per WP:ADMIN, "[admins] are never required to use their tools", and apparently no watching admin felt like it. I know I didn't. I hope you cheer up. (And that Sangdeboeuf does too.) Bishonen | talk 23:29, 7 March 2019 (UTC).[reply]

• Thanks, Bishonen. As usual, you are right (and I say that with all sincerity). Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:48, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs help and better sourcing. I saw you did some work on Daniel Burnham so I thought it might interest you even though the connection is only tangential. Other editors added some photos so it's reasonably well illustrated at least.. FloridaArmy (talk) 02:39, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've done a little bit of work on it, mostly copyediting, rewriting and layout. There doesn't seem to be much information out there about the building, and I myself don't have a lot of stuff about Chicago architecture in my collection. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:56, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, one of the images was tagged on Commons as being on the NRHP, but I can find no sign that this is the case. I created a new category on Commons for the 4 pictures of the building. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:27, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Beyond My Ken (talk) 11:34, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I was surprised at how little we have about the printer's row buildings. It's a start anyway.. FloridaArmy (talk) 22:47, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just leaving you a message to let you know that I've closed the AN/I discussion that was opened involving yourself and Sangdeboeuf. Give the closing statement I left a read, and take my words to heart. Like I said, your actions have more of an impact than you think. ;-) If you have any questions or need someone to talk to, my talk page is always open to you. Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:40, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, your main point is indeed one that I hadn't really considered before. I guess I have a tendency to think of myself as just another editor, and not any sort of potential role model. I'll try to keep that in mind from now on. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:55, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late response! You are definitely not "just another editor", and people definitely look up to you as a role model! :-D I appreciate you for taking the time to read the closing statement I made, and for taking the time to self-reflect. :-) Until our paths cross again... ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 13:38, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Beyond My Ken,

News

• The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool. This may result in an increase in machine translated articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the {{rough translation}} tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP.

Discussions of interest

• Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
• {{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
• A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
• There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.

Reminders

• NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.

NPP Tools Report

• Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
• copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
• The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

Hello, I see you've done a fair amount of edits on the Beefsteak Nazi page and I'm wondering if you can point me in the direction of some free online sources for more info. I'm interested in this topic and it's hard to find anything from a google search. Thanks Pokerplayer513 (talk) 20:19, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Pokerplayer513: To answer your question, I don't know any good online source for that. I suspect that the subject is esoteric enough that any additional information is going to have to come from specialized studies or in-depth books. Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:34, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So far the article isn't very well done. EEng 20:35, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ooooooh! You want onions with that? Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:28, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks! Much appreciated. Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:27, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Always good BMK, to see you in the "saddle" out on the range here on Wikipedia. Maybe, you should have a beer or glass of Merlot with that steak. Kierzek (talk) 00:02, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks. I'm still sorta out in the cold, and will be for a couple of months, but I'm popping in now and then. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:52, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Banham Los Angeles Architecture 4 Ecologies.jpg. 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) 17:25, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, BMK,

Just wanted to draw your attention to the article Warsaw concentration camp, for monitoring for Polish and/or right-wing historical revisionism, with possible links to denialism. I am only just coming on board with this, so don't have much to say about it yet. My intro to the subject was via respected historian Anne Applebaum, which led me to an article by Christian Davies in the London Review of Books about "the battle for Poland's history" which you can read here.

Davies' article delves into the history of KL Warschau, what the nature of it was, whether 200,000 Poles were killed there, according to the 1970 theories of Maria Trzcińska. Davies considers that a conspiracy theory, and also alleges efforts from the Polish right to deemphasize the uniqueness of the Shoah by pushing a POV that similar proportions of Poles were targeted by the Nazis as well, including revisionist efforts to influence Wikipedia. The Warsaw concentration camp article sorely lacks references, and if Davies is correct, there may already be some pov-pushing in the en-wiki article, at least at the level of WP:FALSEBALANCE in the way that Trzcińska's theories are referred to without comment or challenge. (I don't read Polish, so can't comment on what's going on at pl:Warschau (KL).) Just thought you'd like to know. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 14:18, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It's not a specific subject that I have any great expertise on, and you also happen to have caught me at a time when I've retrenched somewhat in my editing, so most probably I'm unlikely to delve into it to any great depth. Thanks for keeping me in mind though, and please don't hesitate to pass these things along to me -- sooner or later something is going to re-trigger my interest in editing at the level I was previously, and I'll be back on board. In the meantime, though, I'm taking things slowly, to see how they develop. Best, Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:02, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Beyond My Ken,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:

• Allow filtering by no citations in page curation
• Not having CSD and PRODs automatically marked as reviewed, reflecting current consensus among reviewers and current Twinkle functionality.

Reliable Sources for NPP

Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.

Backlog drive coming soon

Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

News

• Following a request for comment, the subject-specific notability guideline for pornographic actors and models (WP:PORNBIO) was removed; in its place, editors should consult WP:ENT and WP:GNG.

Discussions of interest

• A request for bot approval for a bot to patrol two kinds of redirects
• There has been a lot discussion about Notability of Academics
• What, if anything, would a SNG for Softball look like

Hello BMK. I hope you are well. Was your series of edits on The Pink Panther prompted by your watching it on TCM? Many times over the years I have seen a film they were showing receive a flurry of edits. I've found that a fun phenomena to observe. I've also wondered if there should be an essay about the "TCM effect" :-) Witing this makes me wonder if there is a corresponding station/effect for the UK. Hmmm. Best regards and have a delightful week. MarnetteD|Talk 03:47, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
