in re Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/AdaControl

That was premature. You closed this while I'm adding WP:RS to the article. Please reopen it. If that's not possible, I'd like to appeal the decision. Yappy2bhere (talk) 19:49, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I'm not willing to re-open the discussion, as consensus was clear. It had been open for weeks, including a full week after the last re-listing, so it was not premature. However, you are definitely welcome to improve the article and resubmit it, if you are confident you can find/add reliable, independent sources demonstrating notability. I've put the material from the article here so you can access it: User:Ganesha811/AdaControl - you could move it into your own namespace to work on the draft. If that isn't satisfactory, WP:DRV is always an option as well. Happy editing! —Ganesha811 (talk) 19:55, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

OK. Do I move it by renaming it (like moving an article), or is it more complicated than that because it's in user space? And yeah, relist then relist, but I didn't arrive to start adding support until well into the second relist. The current six cites from journals and conference proceedings should have been snowball, but I don't know who if anyone read them. Yappy2bhere (talk) 20:17, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

You can just copy the material and paste it into your own user space, and I'll then delete my version. —Ganesha811 (talk) 21:43, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

OK, done. When I've done what I can, does it follow the same path into main space as any other page developed in user space, or is there a different vetting process because it was once deleted and now needs its history restored? Yappy2bhere (talk) 04:46, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

It can follow the same path as any other page, but bear in mind it should be substantially different (i.e. improved) from the prior version which was deleted, or else it would be eligible for speedy deletion under WP:G4. And of course, someone may choose to nominate it for deletion again, and if a pattern of deletion and recreation emerges, it could eventually be salted. Good luck! —Ganesha811 (talk) 04:58, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

How does it work here?

Hi! I'm sorry for bothering you, but I still don't really get it. What type of questions am I supposed to ask here? Does it have to specifically be about editing? If you could give me a better explanation, I'd be fine.

Thank you for understanding. GeoTwode (talk) 01:58, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi and welcome to Wikipedia! You can ask me any questions you have about how to edit or how Wikipedia works. If you're unsure of whether to ask something, just go for it. —Ganesha811 (talk) 02:17, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from 3nhanc3dDimensions (12:14, 24 June 2024)

Hi - Okay so I'm trying to comply with the rules about being affiliated with an organisation who produce 3d film. I've not created a user page so am I right to assume I put this in user page? "Andrew Murchie 3D filmmaker user page.

."

Technically I am just a filmmaker so not employed, nor is the organisation my client so I'm a bit confused as to putting info in here - especially as it's not really accurate. But without adding this I cannot add the 3D films to the 3D film list in wikipedia.

Our films are listed elsewhere e.g. https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Last-Man-on-Earth-3D-Blu-ray/354540/ - really I'm just trying to make the list accurate as my fellow 3d film enthusiasts are always asking about where to find this info.

Sorry if this seems rambling but I'm finding this quite confusing simply trying to provide accurate information. --3nhanc3dDimensions (talk) 12:14, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

No worries, thanks for asking! If you don't mind, what is the nature of your affiliation with EYEPOP-3D? If you are not an employee nor are you being asked/paid to make edits on their behalf, but you do have a connection, the thing to do might be to add the Template:User COI to your page instead. That will let folks know that you have a Conflict of Interest, but are not a paid editor. If you want to edit about a subject that you have a COI with, I recommend using the article talk page to suggest changes and letting other editors implement them - you can use the Wikipedia:Edit Request Wizard to make suggestions! —Ganesha811 (talk) 13:34, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Yusra.khan5 (01:46, 25 June 2024)

Hey How do I upload a picture(image)? Editing or writing an article here is easy, but I need to add pictures too and cant find any way to do that. Thanks --Yusra.khan5 (talk) 01:46, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

You can follow the guide here to learn how to upload images. Bear in mind you have to be careful about copyright with images! —Ganesha811 (talk) 11:08, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Editor experience invitation

Hi Ganesha811 :) I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 22:15, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the invite, but I'll pass. :) —Ganesha811 (talk) 15:00, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Shapedwomen (08:42, 26 June 2024)

Hi how can i start an article --Shapedwomen (talk) 08:42, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi! You could follow the process at the WP:Article wizard. That's a good way to go for a beginner. —Ganesha811 (talk) 11:13, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

you around?

Hi. Need a quick admin action, are you online for a few more minutes? Kindly ping me. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:44, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran, sure, what's going on? Feel free to email me if it's confidential or private. —Ganesha811 (talk) 17:46, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

thanks for the prompt response. Would you kindly restore this version of the page, and then admin protect it for a week? Otherwise, my bot would "vandalise" it again. I also recommend not taking a look at previous version per Wikipedia:Edit filter noticeboard/Archive 12#bot triggering filters. Courtesy ping to GiantSnowman. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:54, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

 Done (I think?) GiantSnowman 17:56, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

@GiantSnowman: lol, you protected the wrong version. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:In_the_news/Posted/November_2004&oldid=1193531746 should be restored, and protected. —usernamekiran (talk) 18:00, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

 Done (take 2). If your bot is malfunctioning, it should not be running. GiantSnowman 18:03, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

@GiantSnowman: thanks, all the profanity is gone now. In short, the bot is creating archives of ITN template, it is also archiving the vandalism along. I updated some of the code, but covering a lot of words would have lead to false positives, and ITN template is protected for the majority of the time, so working on cleaning up the archive pages seemed better than working on program which wouldn't be used much. Thanks again. —usernamekiran (talk) 18:09, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Looks like GiantSnowman got there first, but glad it was taken care of! —Ganesha811 (talk) 18:34, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from MightiestRaccoon (10:27, 29 June 2024)

Hey! I am new to the Wikipedia, hope you can give me some directions. I want to upload the data from this template to Wikidata: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Mycomorphbox I know it has been done before and I know Wikidata contains those parameters for a lot of older articles. But it seems it has not been done in a while. Apparently this tool was used to do it, but I did not manage to make it work: https://pltools.toolforge.org/harvesttemplates/

Do you happen to know who can help me with that? --MightiestRaccoon (talk) 10:27, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

I've never really done any editing on Wikidata, nor have I used that tool, so I'm afraid I'm not much help! I'd recommend asking at Wikidata's internal forum, Wikidata:Project chat. Good luck! —Ganesha811 (talk) 14:14, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Sarahalsabbagh99 (15:06, 5 July 2024)

Hello again, am just looking for new articles that I can translate. --Sarahalsabbagh99 (talk) 15:06, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

You can find more articles that may need translation in whole or in part at Category:Articles needing translation from Arabic Wikipedia. Happy editing! —Ganesha811 (talk) 12:55, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Nadezhda Stasova scheduled for TFA

This is to let you know that the above article has been scheduled as today's featured article for 27 August 2024. Please check that the article needs no amendments. Feel free to amend the draft blurb, which can be found at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 2024, or to make comments on other matters concerning the scheduling of this article at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/August 2024. Please keep an eye on that page, as notifications of copy edits to or queries about the draft blurb may be left there by user:JennyOz, who assists the coordinators by reviewing the blurbs, or by others. I also suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from two days before it appears on the Main Page. Thanks, and congratulations on your work! Gog the Mild (talk) 11:25, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, Gog! And thank you also to @Gerda below. I'll look over the blurb ahead of the August date. —Ganesha811 (talk) 12:14, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

story · music · places

Congratulations to FA and appearance to come! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:36, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Pictured on the Main page: Brian's Mozart family grand tour, my story today, and Mozart related to all three items of music on my talk: our 2023 concert, an opera in a theatre where a Mozart premiere took place, and those remembered, Martti Wallén, a bass, and Liana Isakadze, a violinist from Georgia, (whose article would be better with more details about her music-making). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:17, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

My story today is - because of the anniversary of the premiere OTD in 1782 - about Die Entführung aus dem Serail, opera by Mozart, while yesterday's was - because of the TFA - about Les contes d'Hoffmann, opera by Offenbach, - so 3 times Mozart again if you click on "music" ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:55, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Today's story is about a photographer who took iconic pictures, especially View from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Manhattan, 9/11, yesterday's was a great mezzo, and on Thursday we watched a sublime ballerina. If that's not enough my talk offers the chamber music from two amazing concerts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:10, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (12:31, 9 July 2024)

Hello Ganesha811,

I hope you're doing well. I am Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar, a content writer particularly focused on geopolitics connected to history. I have a question about adding some information to a Wikipedia article. I've written a line about the revenue generated from cocoa sales within Ivory Coast in 2024. Here is the text I want to add to the "Chocolate production" section of the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_bean

"In 2024, the revenue generated from cocoa sales within Ivory Coast, like in supermarkets and convenience stores, is about US$ 9.7 million. The revenue generated domestically is projected to increase annually by 2.64% (CAGR 2024-2029)."

This information is from "Cocoa - Ivory Coast" from: [Statista](https://www.statista.com/outlook/cmo/hot-drinks/cocoa/ivory-coast#:~:text=Revenue%2C%20at%20home%20(e.g.%2C,(CAGR%202024%2D2028)).

Could you please confirm me that can I add this lines as citation, ensuring it meets Wikipedia's guidelines for reliable sources and verifiability?

Thank you for your help!

Best regards, Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar --Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (talk) 12:31, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

If (as your modification suggests) you are no longer planning on linking your blog, that's definitely better, but regrettably per WP:STATISTA, Statista is not necessarily reliable and should not be used directly as a source. I would look for the statistics elsewhere - perhaps try the FAO, which is a UN branch which deals with statistics like this. —Ganesha811 (talk) 13:38, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Maximilianwikimake (03:15, 14 July 2024)

hey can you move my page from the sandbox to the public to view, thanks! --Maximilianwikimake (talk) 03:16, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I would recommend you take your proposed article through the WP:AfC process. Bear in mind that creating an article about yourself or someone you know is strongly discouraged by Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —Ganesha811 (talk) 18:15, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (15:05, 14 July 2024)

Hello Ganesha811,

I hope you're doing well. I have a question about adding some information to a Wikipedia article. I've written a few lines about the recent developments in the Middle Corridor. Here is the text I want to add to the "Trans-Caspian International Transport Route" article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Caspian_International_Transport_Route

"Since the Russia-Ukraine conflict, cargo traffic in the Middle Corridor has grown to nearly 3.2 million tons in 2022, as goods shifted from the Northern Corridor. Turkey positions itself as a key player between China and Europe through the Organization of Turkic States for the Middle Corridor. The Middle Corridor is the shortest route from China to Europe, with cargo transportation increasing six-fold in the last decade."

This information is from "The rise of the Middle Corridor: What is India's response?" from: Observer Research Foundation: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/the-rise-of-the-middle-corridor

Could you please confirm that I can add these lines with the citation, ensuring it meets Wikipedia's guidelines for reliable sources and verifiability?

Thank you for your help!

Best regards, Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar --Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (talk) 15:05, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

If you were uninvolved with the creation of the report, do not have any affiliation with the Observer Research Foundation, and are certain that it is a reliable source per Wikipedia's policies (WP:RELIABLE), go ahead and edit - be WP:BOLD. —Ganesha811 (talk) 18:13, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Thomas Matthew Crooks

I was about to add a redirect vote right as you SNOW closed an AFD that was open for 5 hours, meaning people in certain time zones in the United States would be unable to respond due to sleeping. Could the AFD be re-opened? Downerr2937 (talk) 16:45, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Given the overwhelming consensus, I stand by the speedy close and would not be willing to re-open the discussion myself. —Ganesha811 (talk) 16:46, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

So, we're having a discussion on my talk page about SNOW close vs. Speedy close. Would you consider amending your close of the original AfD to state that it was a SNOW close and eliminate the word speedy? Feel free to join the discussion at my talk page. Jclemens (talk) 19:35, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing that to my attention - I've left a comment there and modified my close. —Ganesha811 (talk) 21:05, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Deletion review for Thomas Matthew Crooks

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Thomas Matthew Crooks. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Downerr2937 (talk) 17:03, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (10:14, 16 July 2024)

Hello Ganesha811,

I hope you're doing well. I have a question about adding some information to a Wikipedia article. I've written a few lines about the historical & geopolitical events on Soviet occupation of Manchuria taking reference from "The Washington Post", reference link:https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2020/08/14/vj-day-japan-surrenders-hirohito-ends-wwii/

Here is the text I want to add to the "Soviet occupation of Manchuria" section of the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_occupation_of_Manchuria

"The combined impact of the Soviet invasion and the atomic bombings left Japan little room for maneuver. On August 15, 1945, Emperor Hirohito announced Japan's unconditional surrender to his people in a scratchy radio recording, marking the end of World War II."

Notably, I have no involvement with the creation of the report and no affiliation with The Washington Post, basically I am a content writer related to the geopolitical evets connected to history.

Could you please confirm that I can add these lines with the citation, ensuring it meets Wikipedia's guidelines for reliable sources and verifiability?

Thank you for your help!

Best regards, Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar --Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (talk) 10:14, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

You can, I would say. Just make sure it isn't redundant of any content already in the article. Please note that you don't have to ask me for permission to edit - the more important thing is that what you do on Wikipedia follows our policies and guidelines, the most important of which are summarized in the Five Pillars. Read that, follow the links to get more detail on any bit you don't understand, and you'll do fine! —Ganesha811 (talk) 13:12, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

How long will it take for my edited wiki to appear live on the Internet? --Exalted Vissy (talk) 02:11, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
