Friendly advice on: Removing unreferenced content edit

Your recent edit to the aricle for Michael J. Doherty removed material with the edit summary "removed personal life info which somehow included family info and info on children and wife that had zero sources of any kind on a page about a living person". Similar material was removed from other articles. Per WP:BLP and the heading placed on all such articles, "Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous." None of the material you removed was "contentious" and all could have been readily sourced by you, without removal. WP:BLP further states that "Biographical material about a living individual that is not compliant with this policy should be improved and rectified; if this is not possible, then it should be removed." Similarly, WP:PRESERVE mandates that one should "Fix problems if you can, flag or remove them if you can't. Preserve appropriate content. As long as any facts or ideas would belong in an encyclopedia, they should be retained in Wikipedia."

Please try to build Wikipedia by improving content and sourcing, rather than by removing content. Alansohn (talk) 15:29, 23 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

It included personal life family info on children and spouses with no sources, that is unacceptable. Sagecandor (talk) 15:51, 23 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for adding the references that no one else had bothered to add before when they added unreferenced material to those pages. Sagecandor (talk) 15:52, 23 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Fake news sites edit

Yeah, it's that editor's normal "Clinton is Evil" schtick. She -- I believe that's the correct gender, but I can't recall why I think so -- was topic-banned from Jill Stein for the obvious campaigning, so switched to trying to achieve the same results from the opposite direction, notably on Clinton Foundation. --Calton | Talk 09:02, 5 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Whitelash requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

I don't know if you saw it, but this article has a lot of useful content, including this tidbit that might help with the scope issue: "Narrowly defined, “fake news” means a made-up story with an intention to deceive, often geared toward getting clicks. But the issue has become a political battering ram, with the left accusing the right of trafficking in disinformation, and the right accusing the left of tarring conservatives as a way to try to censor websites. In the process, the definition of fake news has blurred." --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Duplicating material in DNC cyber attacks → DNC emails/Podesta emails edit

Keep in mind that the DNC emails and Podesta emails pages try to focus on the leaks themselves. Repeating paragraphs and sections of information from DNC cyber attacks is WP:UNDUE. FallingGravity 18:40, 10 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

@FallingGravity:Well I was just "thanked" by DarTar for the additions. I think the info is directly relevant but definitely the analysis of who was responsible, and the fact they hacked both the RNC and the DNC and only released info on the DNC is definitely relevant. Sagecandor (talk) 18:42, 10 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Both of these articles already included sections on who was thought responsible. Remember, statements by U.S. intelligence are still a WP:POV, much the same as statements by Russian intelligence. FallingGravity 18:48, 10 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Sure, but now they have much much better more well-sourced sections. Sagecandor (talk) 18:49, 10 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
@FallingGravity and Sagecandor: I agree with both of you that there will be some initial overlap. I created the umbrella article since – as of this week – the topic is much broader than the individual "incidents". I expect we will clean up each article to make sure the relevant information can be found in the most appropriate one.--DarTar (talk) 18:50, 10 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
@DarTar:Thank you for creating that article, that is excellent. I agree with you about clean-up, but also hope the structure and sections will remain, if perhaps more concise. Sagecandor (talk) 18:51, 10 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Admin noticeboard notification edit

You go after all my edits just to make edit wars and harass me, its clearly you dont want to debate by opening a Talk sections, you engage in edit wars on subject you arent even interested in the first place. And then you constantly try to smear my image by telling others that my behavior is that of a Kremlin mouth piece, probably for me being half Russian. But meanwhile its you who edits the entire day from 0:00 to 8:00 and then from 15:00 to 0:00 and so on. Its highly unlikely someone has that much freetime, and it should be considered and pointed out as you accuse (or suggest by the way you post) that anyone else who disagrees with you is by being paid by the Kremlin.

Talk page problems edit

  • Violations of WP:TALKO by editing another user's comments in a section, in the last edit removing all replies. [11] and [12] and [13]. This makes it impossible to have a constructive conversation.
  • Uses an entire section header on a talk page to refer to a quote "mean editor" [14]. This is another violation of site policy.
  • Violates WP:No personal attacks, again, with edit summary "stupid" [15].

hi edit

Sagecandor, saw you when I was working on fake news articles, and then saw you again today at NPOVN when I was commenting on the cross-article RfC, so I came to drop you a note about some of the things BlueSalix said... pinging them with some trepidition, at the risk of incurring their wrath, but better that way methinks so as not to be talking about them behind their virtual back, as it were, and not in any way as an attempt to re-start any interaction.

BlueSalix *is* well-meaning, and although they responded pretty roughly to your posting on their talkpage, it *is* their own user-talkpage, and it *was* definitely the case that what you posted had nothing to do with improving any specific article in any specific way. Some wikipedians don't like that. It was an "olive branch" in the form of an offer to talk politics. Some wikipedians REALLY do not like that. Now, as you probably have seen, there ARE wikipedians who talk politics, on their own user-talkpages. It is considered bad form on article-talkpages, however (and verboten in mainspace), so there are quite a few wikipedians such as BlueSalix and myself that believe talking politics... even on user-talkpages... is a Very Bad Idea.™ Distracts from the business of building the encyclopedia at best, causes formation of POV cabals at worst, tends to end up indirectly causing disruption because it inherently is a form of concentrating on contributors and their personal opinions, as opposed to concentrating on mainspace content and staying neutral. So although BlueSalix and yourself obviously ended on the wrong foot, I urge you to pay attention to the gist of what they said, stripped to the essentials: "...I'm not here for cyber-activism, I'm here to edit articles to a NPOV standard... I really don't care about current events in America at all, which probably makes me uniquely qualified to edit about them. ..." Point being, it is hard, but not impossible, to edit in any area where you care deeply about the topic. Which means, given that a large group of people editing the politics articles are editing it because they have a passion for the subject, it is doubly-extra-super important to maintain neutrality, and striking up user-talkpage conversations about controversial realworld political issues, no matter how innocently initiated, seems unlikely to help advance that.

Hope this was helpful, and not seen as an unwanted intrusion. I don't see you doing bad things, from a quick glance it looks to me like you are trying hard to do the right things in the proper way, but do be fully aware that political topics are a minefield. (This,[16] however, should be more specific than merely saying 'Russians' however since it is unclear whether the paraphrase means government agents, identifiable citizens with government ties, residents with no known governmental ties, or IP addresses that appear to originate from the landmass. And don't use youtube, here is the proper URL from CNN.[17]) Politics is a difficult area that needs plenty of AGF and plenty of patience, because it is inherently a highly-charged topic-area, and tends to attract passionate editors.

And since I peeked in your talkpage history, to see if there was already a note like the one I was planning to leave, I will mention as an aside that this info-notification,[18] about the severe sanctions-regime which is in place for 99% of political articles, does not require an admin send it. It is supposed to be a 'friendly' warning for people that are working in touchy subject-areas like yourself, that if some overworked admin *does* later appear they are not gonna be forgiving. The same notice is posted at the top of the article-talkpage at Talk:Donald_Trump and Talk:Hillary_Clinton for example... although surprisingly, there is NOT such a notice at the moment over at Talk:Fake_news_website, which I find a little shocking. Presumably nobody has gotten around to adding the 'friendly' warning template there, yet. As long as you always stay cool and stick to the wikipedia policies, you will be fine. Talk to you later perhaps, but not about politics please  :-) 47.222.203.135 (talk) 10:22, 15 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Banter edit

First of all, clever redirecting WP:SODOFF to WP:NOTFORUM. I suppose you beat me to it.

Otherwise, I'm probably being too harsh. I admit to disliking AE as a venue generally. There is way too little WP:NOTBUREAUCRACY in those parts, and I think it's often used as a work around for reports that would just get laughed out of ANI for their comparative triviality.

I'll just say that, as an editor generally, and especially one who is prolific in contentious areas, I don't recommend getting in the habit of depending on AE. There is way too much that ends up there that could have been just as easily solved with a third or fourth opinion and a little discussion, and probably have been better off for the project if it were. Maybe this isn't one of those cases. But there are certain editors who shall remain nameless that somehow find a way to be on AE, it seems, weekly, and I'll admit to thinking somewhat less of them because of it. TimothyJosephWood 18:12, 19 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. 23 editor (talk) 18:58, 19 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

@23 editor:You're welcome, I'm quite sorry, I thought a bot was supposed to come by and do that from my reading of Wikipedia:Good article nominations/Instructions. Maybe it had something to do with writing up the review offline in a text file after reading the article several hours before, and skipping that first step where you initially say you're taking the review. I'll try adding that first step next time and see if that fixes it. Sagecandor (talk) 20:03, 19 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Legobot does usually do this -- a notification when /GA1 is created and a notification upon the changing of the talk page template. I suspect the reason 23 editor did not receive such a notice is the same reason I did not with Rhinogradentia: Raamaturott added the icon manually, making Legobot skip its routine GA maintenance on those pages. @Legoktm: does this sound accurate?

I appreciate your comment although that will be a hard rule to remember. I don't ping on someone's talk page, but in most of the cases I do. If I've already pinged someone and it is a continuation of a discussion I won't, but in this case, I started a separate section and specifically quoted you, so while I thought it was very possible you would see it I decided to be safe.--S Philbrick(Talk) 19:39, 21 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
@DrFleischman and Sphilbrick:Too many bing bong I get it, case study of too much bing bong at: Bing Bong - Remix Compilation. Sagecandor (talk) 19:43, 21 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Just as a follow-up to Sagecandor, because it just sunk in that Dr. Fleischman was responding to you not to me. You are still relatively new, but you are learning that we not only have a boatload of written rules, we have a pile of unwritten rules that take some time to learn. (To make matters worse not everyone shares the same set of unwritten rules so go figure.)
It made some sense for me to ping Dr. Fleischman, I now know that editor is very active on the page, I've only added one post, separated in time and position from the quote I included, so it made sense for me to err on the side of caution and add a ping. In contrast, you are extremely active on the page, So should not need to ping except in rare circumstances; if for example, you were directly responding to someone who post really and hasn't posted recently it would be polite to ping but not generally in the continuation of the discussion. The whole ping functionality is still relatively new and these conventions are still being worked out.
On a more general note, I see that you've worked very hard on that article and I appreciate your diligence. I do see some people trying to give you advice, and unfortunately some of that advice hasn't been worded as well as I would like, so I urge you not to let anyone get your goat.--S Philbrick(Talk) 19:51, 21 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

draft-rewrite of fake news website edit

Hi Sagecandor, I have been working on the (whimsically-titled... not actually a serious title-suggestion!) page on the 'dark internet' which is at rewrite-of-fake-news-disambiguation and also at rewrite-of-fake-news-website. As you will no doubt notice, it has exactly zero sources at the moment.  :-)

I am planning on integrating the current sources and contents of fake news and also fake news website into that proposed new article-structure, in the next few hours/days/years (the fake-news topic is fairly large and tricky to wrestle with), but if you have some time when you are back from your holiday-related vacation I would appreciate if you could comment on the broad-strokes proposal.

I have attempted to create sections which concentrate narrowly on a particular sub-topic, e.g.

  • relationship-of-fake-news-[websites]-to-facebook,
  • relationship-of-fake-news-[websites]-to-the-historical-parallel-of-thatword-journalism,
  • relationship-of-fake-news-[websites]-to-modern-instances-of-black-propaganda,
  • use-of-fake-news-[website]-as-a-metaphor-for-the-related-concept-of-media-bias,
  • and so on and so forth.

I'm not firmly tied to the specific structure, the specific subsection names, or the specific subsection ordering. But I do think it will help avoid accusations of listcruft and povfork and other such wikipedia jargon, if we very carefully work at splitting up all the sourced media commentary you have worked hard gathering, into subtopic-specific subsections. Let me know your thoughts please, when you have some time free. 47.222.203.135 (talk) 13:30, 28 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Re: edit

You are right that edit warring should be avoided going forward. I also hope you recognize that maintaining the article's longstanding title and character in this case, avoiding equating a three-day filler version with the 20+ year series, was not ultimately disruptive, especially as consensus overwhelmingly decided. Don't particularly want to have more back and forth on this, best for us to let it go. -- Wikipedical (talk) 17:56, 24 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Rich edit

I've not paid much attention to the development of the article. Maybe you can tell me if I'm stepping in something by editing the lead.

Book cover image edit

I don't see why the old version needs to be deleted ... you uploaded a corrected one, both without the whitespace and reduced in size to comply with NFCC. We usually leave the file history up. Daniel Case (talk) 16:46, 2 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Daniel Case:Oh okay whatever you like, I just thought best to only have the lowest size file of the uploaded versions kept, for fair use reasons. Sagecandor (talk) 16:47, 2 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Since the old version isn't being used on any page other than that section of the file page, I don't think NFCC really comes into play.

However, I think it is an interesting question ... the file history section is sort of mandated to accommodate the GFDL, which requires that editors preserve the history of their changes to a file. Do we really need it for fair-use images where there is no such mandate? Maybe we should ask at MCQ. Daniel Case (talk) 16:51, 2 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Adamstom.97:Sorry you're going through that, user appears to just make stuff up about WP:Good article criteria including inventing new requirements for "Stability". Sagecandor (talk) 23:45, 16 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
No matter how many times you say that it does not make it more true. No one other then you who has reviewed that article, or my review, thinks that it was wrongly failed. Seraphim System (talk) 04:35, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Been explained to the user before by another editor: "Well; there's certainly no criteria that a GA has to be over X age since creation. Since this is four days old, and in that time, has been stable, I would agree that an inability to prove a negative is not a criterion" Done. Sagecandor (talk) 14:14, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
It has been explained to you that this is not why the article was failed. I was asking more experienced reviewers for advice about a criteria that I did not know how to apply in a particular situation. That you continue to lie about this has done nothing to relieve my concerns, You seem to be unable to understand why your article was failed, and contiue to insist that it was failed wrongly. It does not help nominators to have their articles passed without thorough review by a reviewer who has shown clear signs of incompetence or behavioral problems. GA is a standard that the community should strive to uphold, without hostility. I suggested a second opinion during the review, because that is something you are entitled to. GA Review is not a dictatorship. Your continuing to lie about the review because I would not give an article that was not ready an easy pass that it did not deserve is not going to help you, and it undermines your own reputation here. I asked for input from other editors after the review, and I am reassured that I did not conduct myself wrongly. This behavior is abusive towards another editor. I am no longer watching this talk page. I will refrain from conducting reviews of your nominations as you have asked. Seraphim System (talk) 14:50, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
You still refuse to acknowledge your inability to understand the "Stability" portion of WP:Good article criteria, and your failure to comprehend after reading that part of the criteria. Sagecandor (talk) 14:52, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
There is nothing wrong with new editors learning from more experienced editors. There is no rule that editors can never make a mistake. You can't, however, abuse them for it. You really are not helping yourself or your reputation as a GA reviewer by acting this way. I am no longer watching this page. Seraphim System (talk) 15:34, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Seraphim, I appreciate your gesture. Thanks again for saying that, due to our prior history of a dispute, you'll agree it's best for us to avoid each other with regards to the good article process for a while. I really appreciate your willingness to do that. Sagecandor (talk) 15:26, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Seraphim, I agree with you There is nothing wrong with new editors learning from more experienced editors. There is no rule that editors can never make a mistake. I hope you can acknowledge you did, with regards to your previous interpretation of the "Stability" part of the WP:Good article criteria. Sagecandor (talk) 15:36, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
I didn't make a mistake, I said I was not sure. That is not the same as making a mistake. That is acknowledging that I do not know the answer to something. I don't know why you keep talking about it, because it didn't effect your life at all. It has absolutely nothing to do with you. I asked other editors about it after the review closed, because I am thinking of nominating other articles. You would do better to spend more time reading the articles you are reviewing then posting dishonest messages about another editor everywhere. If I submitted an article for review, and a reviewer made a call I disagreed with, I would ask for a second opinion. I even offered to change the template for you. Instead you pulled the review as soon as I asked other editors for assistance, which only indicates to me that you know your behavior is abusive and you are embarassed about it. Now, I do have other things to do, I only saw this because I still had the window open from earlier. Seraphim System (talk) 23:09, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Disclosures and my views on editing edit

I've added the following section to my userpage:

Disclosures and my views on editing

1. I, Sagecandor, am just one person behind the account name. I agree with the Wikipedia policy of WP:ROLE and the Wikipedia policy of WP:NOSHARING. I agree with the provisions for such policy exceptions as specified by the Wikimedia Foundation and explained at Role account.

2. I, Sagecandor, am not a paid editor. I am against the practice of paid editing on Wikipedia. I agree with the Wikipedia policy WP:PAID and the provisions laid out by that policy. I have donated of my own charitable giving to the Wikimedia Foundation that operates Wikipedia. I have given freely of my own time to research and write new articles on Wikipedia.

  • I would not let Winkelvi's comments get to you too much. I was actually going to come by this talk page to thank you for the well-written articles you have crafted and listed on your userpage. I'm not particularly fond of the man on some of the covers -- no offense to Mr. Trump or any views you may have -- but you put effort into quality content, not quantity. I respect that more than any editor who has pushed thousands of less meaningful stubs into mainspace just to get a +1 in their article stats. Keep up the good work, and if you are repeatedly WP:HOUNDed by anyone remember ANI is always open to help out.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 22:17, 2 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Thank you, theGracefulSlick, I really appreciate you coming by my user talk page to say this. Still, regardless, I stand by what I've said, above. I hope I wrote it clearly and okay. Sagecandor (talk) 00:20, 3 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • I would add that denying the two concerns is not necessary and might actually be counterproductive. If you're not, you're not. Just ignore it. That would be my advice. Otherwise you get into a "he doth protest too much" situation. My best to you, Figureofnine (talkcontribs) 20:38, 3 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • @Figureofnine and TheGracefulSlick:I already received a question about it. I responded to that question. I was ignored. I added it to my userpage. I'm not going to remove it now at this point. That would just be too much back and forth hassle. It's there. It's done. I wouldn't have added it if I hadn't been asked about it in the first place. But whatever, I was. And now it's there. I agree with you it's a statement of a non-issue. Yes, I've donated money to the Wikimedia Foundation as I agree with providing free knowledge to people and I agree with the Wikipedia policies including reliable sources. As far as The lady doth protest too much, methinks, fuck it, what the fuck am I supposed to do at this point, I was asked about it already and this is my answer. Sagecandor (talk) 22:59, 3 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
OK, that's reasonable. I wasn't trying to say anything hostile, just mainly to express my sympathy and solidarity, as I think you're in the right. Figureofnine (talkcontribs) 23:51, 3 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

This nomination is of complete seriousness. If it's not up to the FAC's code then it needs to be worked on so it may be one. It's ultimately deserving. I'm ultimately deserving because I've been an editor on it as Sage said since 2013. I'm also the one who got it to its GA status as of right now. You're shoving me and my nomination away based on nothing. --Matt723star (talk) 01:56, 7 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Seriously, two revisions? Those weren't even made in the article, lol. I can only roll my eyes on this, unbelievable. Bluesphere 03:33, 7 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
I'm glad the nominator has had interest in the article improving in quality, going back four years, to the year 2013. At this point, I'll defer to whatever the people at WP:FAC want to do with it. Sagecandor (talk) 03:35, 7 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
Obviously they were made in the article considering it was the deletion of the "Dreamers" poem which I deleted several years ago and that decision still stands. Are you a troll? Bluesphere needs to be blocked if this behavior continues. --Matt723star (talk) 04:46, 7 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Czar:I would LOVE to go back to new article creation writing. Unfortunately, lately, as perhaps you can see, energies have been absorbed elsewhere. Sagecandor (talk) 17:36, 21 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Czar:Thank you for creating that article! Are you going to turn those references into in-line citations? Sagecandor (talk) 17:51, 21 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
Hey, it's a volunteer project—you can go back to whatever you want whenever you want. I personally find writing more pleasurable than the contentious talk pages! I stub easily notable non-fiction work when I see it (five+ reliable reviews), as it only gets harder to find the reviews down the line, but my priorities are set such that I rarely return to some stubs, such as this one. For what it's worth, the single-sentence intro can be confirmed in any of the sources (general reference) so an inline ref isn't always necessary. In fact, I'd consider it more clutter in this case. czar 19:52, 21 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

On 25 July 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Trump 101, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Donald Trump blamed his ghostwriter for inaccuracies in Trump 101, saying in a deposition that he had read it "very quickly" before publication? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Trump 101. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Trump 101), 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.

Your GA nomination of Insane Clown President edit

If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Thank you, Katolophyromai, very much, for your GA Review. Thank you also for saying about my WP:NPOV article writing work on Wikipedia: "Despite the controversy surrounding the subject of the article, the article is surprisingly neutral. The "Reception" section covers both positive and negative reactions to the book.". [39] Sagecandor (talk) 02:50, 24 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
I very much appreciate your gratitude. This only my third GA review and the first two, as I mentioned before, went catastrophically awry. I ended up making a complete and utter fool out of myself by immediately failing the first article for instability due to a bout of vandalism nearly three weeks before and passing the second one after only thirty minutes. All that was nearly six months ago, though, and I hope I have finally done it right this time. Nonetheless, I was very anxious about trying to do this again. Once again, I congratulate you on your work; your ability to compose NPOV articles about controversial topics is admirable and, even now, I still could not even guess at your political affiliations. --Katolophyromai (talk) 04:07, 24 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Christine Sydelko edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Christine Sydelko requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Plath edit

Hi Sage, thanks for your review of Sylvia Plath for GA. I have been out of the WP loop for quite a few years now and just pop back to see how some articles are faring. Which is a very heartening experience on the whole. It seems (from a cursory look) that not that much work was needed on Plath to bring it up to GA. In looking at the history of the article it seems that I either wrote or gave citations for most of it. I'm not sure on GA protocols (I might have forgotten - I can't remember) but could that mean I could add the article to my GA list - as a main contributor? It's a petty thing, but would feel rewarding on some level, after the years of twiddling and safeguarding. Thanks Anna (talk) 11:57, 11 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

You're bludgeoning at the Mark Judge AfD. Please don't. I realize you're emotionally invested at the article itself, but responding to every !vote or comment is really not necessary, nor is it appropriate. -- ψλ 13:46, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for coming here and taking the initiative to give me some advice at my talk page, I really appreciate it. I hope that we get additional input at that discussion from previously uninvolved editors, and bring fresh perspective to the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Judge (writer) discussion.

Why We Want You to Be Rich edit

Hello! Just an FYI, Why We Want You to Be Rich received a good article nomination review. You might take a look at Talk:Why We Want You to Be Rich and consider renominating for good status, if you're still interested. Happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:25, 22 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Another Believer:Okay, thank you, will take a look ! Also, in the midst of some research for other new articles ! Hopefully coming soon ! Sagecandor (talk) 01:29, 22 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Also, just an FYI, a notability tag was added to The Way to the Top: The Best Business Advice I Ever Received. ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:47, 24 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Another Believer:Notable book, per WP:NBOOK criteria (1) and (5). Exciting news day/week so far. Sagecandor (talk) 02:28, 24 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

GenX edit

I see no reason why GenX will be deleted. It is well-written and well referenced, and is a good candidate for GA. At least no one has put the AfD tag on it, unlike some of my articles lately! Best, ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 01:34, 22 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Editorofthewiki:Thank you for your thoughtful compliments about the writing quality of the new article I just recently created ! Sagecandor (talk) 01:34, 22 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you edit

Consider this a barnstar, or a certificate suitable for framing, or a kitten, or a warm cuppa tea. Your choice. You saw an historical event in the making and immediately started creating articles about important and notable secondary topics. I am speaking, of course, of Mark Judge and the very impressive Wasted: Tales of a GenX Drunk, which is developing nicely. Well done. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 02:05, 23 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Cullen328:Thanks very much for coming here and saying those nice things. If you like that, you might also like another new article I just created, God and Man at Georgetown Prep. I hope it will be appreciated by the Wikipedia community. Sagecandor (talk) 02:27, 23 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you edit

Thank you all for the advice. I will think it over while taking a break from Wikipedia. And only return if and when I am able to do so, and if I can regain the trust of the Wikipedia community, as per {{2nd chance}} and WP:Standard offer. Good night, and good luck.

Once again to Bbb23, I am truly sorry. Sagecandor (talk) 20:39, 1 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Oshwah:Thank you for your vandalism help. Can you please indef full-protect this talk page? Thank you, Sagecandor (talk) 19:50, 9 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
You're welcome. I applied indefinite semi protection for you. If we find that we need to increase the protection level due to continued disruption, let me know and I'll be happy to do so. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:04, 9 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Oshwah: There is no basis for applying semi-protection. There's been one disruptive edit by an IP on October 3. The rest of the edits to this page have been by experienced users. I can't imagine a policy basis for full protection ever. Cirt wants it protected because he doesn't want anyone to comment here, and the only way that could be accomplished is full protection. With your permission, I'd like to remove semi-protection.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:23, 9 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
Bbb23 - Granted. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:25, 9 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
