  • Draft:Micro Museum (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I am trying to get Micro Museum's page up on wikipedia as a part of our 30th anniversary and uncertain about the feedback below. I am confused, especially the first sentence. Can you clarify how I should be citing references? My question for example - I have listed a few names of people who were guest curators. How should I be citing them for approval? Are you looking for bio materials? their personal approval? I am not sure. The quotes and awards are documented but appear to need more citation. Can you clue me as to what exactly would be acceptable. Further.... would it be wise for me to remove unacceptable materials for help expedite this approval process?

"Everything in the article should be cited to references. At present there are large sections without references, all of the quotes and awards must each have a reference. Also, external links are not allowed in the text except within references. On the plus side the museum is notable and deserves an article." Hightopdancer55 (talk)

The NYT article is not in dispute. Although it is a review that mentions the Schultz. That would be the only viable mention. It's a vanity project. Please delete. Rudolph

Hi I was wondering if you know about this tool - it's called reFill. It makes bare references complete [if they're not dead]. all you do is paste the article title in. --Jennica✿ / ^talk 17:57, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi, yes its a good tool, sometimes I forget to use it, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 22:07, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Randall Hicks, which is up for deletion, contained a short Personal life piece which I deleted in its entirety - pretty rash, you might say (though you didn't) - with the summary "nothing of note or worth saying here and PROMO". You thought that inappropriate (and you may be right), ran a Twinkle reversion, summarised "is referenced". We can all be in too much of a hurry at times but this leaves me non-plussed. What's referencing got to do with my reason for deletion? We can reference things till the cows come home but not make otherwise non-publishable material any better. Your thoughts on the reason given by me for deletion? We need to know where the subject lives, how many children he has and that he has a video on Youtube? sirlanz 01:50, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Personal details seem valid as per most biographys, youtube info less so, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 01:53, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Saying "White pride" is racist, when in reality, it's not. It is not neoNazi. The claims you made are racist though. River1218 (talk) 01:59, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just curious. Why did you mark List of Chicago Med characters as reviewed? BattleshipMan (talk) 03:59, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• • Because it was in the New Page Patrol list of articles to be reviewed so I checked it and marked it as reviewed. There is a backlog of 15,000 pages going back to September, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 04:02, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there Thanks for your edits to the Robert Ferns Waller page! It's the first wikipedia page I've produced and I wondered if you might just be able to give me a bit of guidance regarding the note about more inline citations and what exactly I should be looking to add here? Thanks for your help! James — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dunemoons77 (talk • contribs) 08:41, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message to me about encouraging me to post, I think re the Randall Hicks article I created. Did you enter a vote to keep or delete? I hope you will, regardless of which way you vote. I'm still struggling to understand the negativity from some. I entered the type of info I see on other Wikipedia pages I read, mainly authors. Someone voted delete and said it was promotional. I just don't understand this? What is "promotional" about the fact he has written 7 or 8 books? What does that have to do with his law practice . . . unless only dead people can have an article, that makes no sense to me. Hicks or his books are reviewed or he's interviewed in so many major papers (LA Times, New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times et cetera, and reviewed by the big entities, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, et cetera. And I have a specific question which I will also post on the proposed deletion page. I asked it before but no one addressed it. Previously I'd listed his appearances on 4 or 5 national TV talk shows (big ones, like CBS This Morning, and hosting a PBS series), but I deleted it since someone said so much info was inappropriate as promotional. To me, it shows his national prominence and recognition, which the last "delete" voter seemed to indicate. So should I add that back in? I really don't understand what is wanted. I feel what I do is criticized either way. Maybe I'm stubborn, but I don't want to have put in the work for a good article on an author I really like, and get it deleted. Thanks for any feedback you might have. From Gelo962 (talk) 23:16, 27 January 2017 (UTC)Gelo962[reply]

. I think it was Coolabapple who sent the message, thanks - hosting a pbs series seems significant, appearing on talk shows less so but still of interest Atlantic306 (talk),

Hi Atlantic, thanks for this. There's no pressure to read any of this, but for several months I've been tracking something I've dubbed the Campaign of Ignorance that has polluted a lot of Indian television articles. It's like people are going out of their way to bring articles into conformity with an incorrectly formatted template that only they know about, and to remove real-world content and other useful information like whether someone is part of the main or recurring cast. (Hence my description of the problem as a campaign to promote ignorance.) No pressure to read the the whole thing (or any of it) but if you read the bolded summaries it might give you an idea of the sort of thing that has been very difficult to maintain. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:19, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb: Hi. I visited this talk page to discuss something with Atlantic, and this title for the section caught my eye. I have same thoughts as of you, about Indian TV articles. I would like to contribute with you. Also, i am from India, so this fact can give you an Indian perspective. This may also help with finding information from relaible sources and similar stuff. If you reply me anywhere on wiki, kindly ping me. —usernamekiran (talk) 23:02, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've just found the AfD, which happened before brunodam's edits, thus it cannot cover that text. You can revert back to this rev which is the last before both merging (done by @Dbachmann:), but in order to re-add brunodam's text you have to check them against sources, copyvios and almost any kind of possible violation. --Vituzzu (talk) 00:21, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Atlantic306,

A HUGE backlog

We now have 810 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.

The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.

Second set of eyes

Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.

Abuse

This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and

1. this very recent case of paid advertising by a Reviewer resulting in a community ban.
2. this case in January of paid advertising by a Reviewer, also resulting in a community ban.
3. This Reviewer is indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry.

Coordinator election

Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Thanks for reviewing Chick Carter, Boy Detective. I appreciate your help.

I'm curious about the concepts of link rot and archiving pages. I read the post on your user page, and I agree with the concept of archiving web references. If I create an archive of a web reference, should I indicate that in the citation in some way? I usually use templates for citing my sources. Would some block in a template be the proper place to indicate where a reference is archived? Eddie Blick (talk) 00:33, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I don't think its necessary if the link is still live, but I think there is a particular citation style for archive.org when the webpage has gone although I don't bother with it but I haven't seen one for archive is. There is a bot that will come and fix the citations for archive.org.You will probably get better advice at the teahouse or helpdesk, your article is very good Atlantic306 (talk) 00:46, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Atlantic306,

Voting for coordinators has now begun HERE and will continue through/to 23:59 UTC Monday 06 March. Please be sure to vote. Any registered, confirmed editor can vote. Nominations are now closed.

Still a MASSIVE backlog

We now have 810 New Page Reviewers but despite numerous appeals for help, the backlog has NOT been significantly reduced.
If you asked for the New Page Reviewer right, please consider investing a bit of time - every little helps preventing spam and trash entering the mainspace and Google when the 'NO_INDEX' tags expire.
