re: 2016 Alpine Skiing World Cup

edit

Tone← While I like your zealotry about Fenniger and Maze missing the 2016, the Article is about what DID happen during the COMPETITIVE sport season and not about what did NOT happen. Those blurbs about the two ladies are, in fact, very accurate - but - are irrelevant to the topic. My thought is that the contribution is more suited to a year-end summary paragraph, or sunk to the bottom of the section, and not a lead paragraph above the folks that the page is about - the ones that did participate in 2015-16. Cheers. . .. –HacksawFW my edits 23:42, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Ok, that works for me. In any case, I think it is highly relevant to mention this somewhere since the two were the clear frontrunners in a couple of previous seasons. --Tone 09:19, 2 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

ITN

Can you link the SPLM part to the factionalism section? And perhaps include factions in that? Or maybe link factions to the sectipn?Lihaas (talk) 09:18, 3 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hm, what exactly do you suggest? Can you propose an altblurb? --Tone 14:09, 3 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
SPLM was already linked, so I thought the pertinent section would be best
Anyhoo, per the Lesotho item we have about 3-0 consensus and stuff is going to run through ITN very quick with the nobels. Can you check that?Lihaas (talk) 12:42, 8 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Scott Disick

edit

Hey there, sorry for my delay commenting on this, but I saw you were the closing admin on the Scott Disick nomination. Could you perhaps explain why you deleted the page? The reason I ask is that it seems to me the sole argument editors made for deletion was essentially "notability is not inherited." But that policy is meant to be a reply to arguments for keeping a page, not a reason in and of itself for deleting. It seems there are a considerable number of profiles, biographies, and articles in mainstream newspapers and other sources available in print and online that would allow for a fully verifiable article to be created. He also has had major acting roles in several long-running TV shows. These things usually easily qualify someone for a page. I feel like WP has a bit of a blind spot when it comes to reality TV actors, and it's unfortunately manifested itself here. mikeman67 (talk) 13:17, 7 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Well, the AFD discussion established a pretty clear consensus that he is not notable on his own, at least that was my opinion when I was closing it... --Tone 13:47, 7 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Posting 2015 Congolese protests

edit

Hi Tone! Would you mind posting the 2015 Congolese protests to the News page. It has been 5 days and there has really been consensus on this for a while now but action never gets taken by admins. I'm new to trying to get things posted to the news page and this was my first attempt at it but it seemed fairly strait forward to me that protests against a dictatorial government that resulted in 42 people being killed would be news in just about any place in the world. Please feel free to leave me feedback on my talk page about this so I can speed up the process next time. Many thanks!Monopoly31121993 (talk) 19:16, 25 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

You do realise that the article itself actually says that 42 isn't an official claim? Please adjust the blurb per the sourcing, e.g. to say "at least fifteen". Thanks. Or at least modify the blurb to "A human right's group claimed 42 were killed" or similar, as that's what the sourcing says.... The Rambling Man (talk) 20:07, 25 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
You're correct. I'll fix it straight away. --Tone 20:10, 25 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

The Dragic brothers

edit

I thought a hatnote might be necessary. Do their names not sound the same barring the first letter? - Bossanoven (talk) 00:04, 27 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Well, they sound kind of similar but I guess the first letter is obviously different enough ... --Tone 00:27, 27 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

People might hear the name (or part of the name) and not know how to spell it. I would fathom that they would visit the surname page, but not necessarily. - Bossanoven (talk) 00:30, 27 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

I think a better option would be to mention his brother in the introduction, so that there's a link with some context. --Tone 15:23, 27 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Sounds good to me, I have added it into the lead on both articles. - Bossanoven (talk) 22:37, 27 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Why was 2015 Daytona 500 posted?

edit

I don't understand why 2015 Daytona 500 was posted when more editors wrote that they opposed it than supported it. I can't see how a consensus exists. Would you please revert this until a consensus is reached per usual.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 07:18, 24 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Oh, I am not in favor of pulling items when there is just divided opinion. It seems it was not the most obvious consensus but I don't mind it being posted. You can start a discussion to pull, nevertheless ... --Tone 16:50, 24 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Undeletion of Yandi Munawar

edit

Hi Tone I am contacting you because you are the administrator who closed the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yandi Munawar deletion discussion for this article. At he time this article failed WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL, which it did at the time but the player has made his debut in a competitive match (2015 AFC Cup) for a professional team Persib Bandung, so the article would meet the notability requirements. Source: 1 & 2 back up the fact that he played that competitive match for a professional team. I requested this article for undeletion but they told me to contact the administrator who closed the deletion discussion instead. Thank You. Inter&anthro (talk) 15:33, 28 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi, article restored. Yeah, notability can change in time. Feel free to work on the article, it is outdated now. --Tone 15:48, 28 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

NCAA Women's Closure

edit

Hi Tone, I'm asking that you reconsider your closure for this item. There seems to be decent support for the item, but the article quality was the biggest issue, something that can still be resolved. Furthermore, it had only been 24 hours since nomination when it was closed, perhaps not enough time to cleanup and expand the article. I don't think consensus is clear against the posting of this item due to things that cannot be corrected. Best, SpencerT♦C 08:12, 9 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

I was hoping that more people would support such inclusion. However, closure may be premature. Shall the nomination be re-opened? --George Ho (talk) 18:17, 9 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

You've removed Cilla Black from ITN/RD leaving only two listings, and her passing is more recent than the two oldest items on the ticker. Would you consider returning her in the third slot? She was not listed right away either, so went on late and seems now to be coming off prematurely. Thanks. μηδείς (talk) 17:15, 9 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

My reasoning to removal was the time stamp that was a week old - thus I removed it. If she was added late, I don't object on returning her for a while ... --Tone 17:33, 9 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Re: Request for Restoration to Wikipedia of Deleted Marisa Anderson Psychic page

edit

Dear Tone, I thank you for all the work you do, for all of us to enjoy on Wikipedia. I see that the page, Marisa Anderson Psychic, and all the work showing 3O years of documented relevant case history has been completely deleted. In this case the deleted page was a history page, about cases and authors and accountability to inform and I will argue that it was not an advertisement page. That Wikipedia page had been there for many years, and it had been and was scrutinized, approved and worked upon a few times by Wiki consultants like yourself, depicting numerous credits, authors, and radio show hosts that made reports about me and my work. I would like to request a scrutiny of that page for a re-approval of the investment of all the time spent by so many and the merit of work of over half a lifetime within the original page listed with full content restored with the information that was both informative and relevant and documented as well as verifiable by the persons referenced within. The case work documented in the page has been meritoriously completed, in some cases written about by authorities including departmental (key law enforcement agencies) and criminal case information (e.g.48 Hours Show) as well as authored books (Sherry Suib Cohen, Hans Holzer Phd, John Sutton, and Elaine Mercado(Llewellyn books), etc., to "live" radio predictions (WEOK, WPDH, Coast to Coast, Joe Franklin, etc) and network shows. I would like to appeal for a re-submission and thank you for your consideration. Thank you and Be well.

Hi! The article was deleted following a discussion where a consensus for a deletion was unanimous. Therefore, I suggest you take it to deletion review where more people can voice their opinions. The main problems were the neutral point of view, reading like an advertisment, lack of reliable sources, and presumably autobiography. Can you address all of those? Perhaps try to rewrite the article with this in mind. Regards, --Tone 20:47, 27 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Well, you just changed it to "name" in the main list, not the tentative list, so it was a bit inconsistent. In any case, I followed the other articles that use "site". But thanks for checking the article ;) --Tone 08:59, 6 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Thank you for posting the Nobel Prize in literature on ITN. However, no ITN tag/credit showed up on my talk page and I noticed that neither you (for Physiology or Medicine) nor Jenda H (for Physics) got any, so maybe the bot is broken and should be checked?

I'm not sure how bot works at the moment ... Which bot is it, actually? --Tone 08:08, 9 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
I have no idea, I just assumed it was a bot doing that, but maybe the admin who posts it ITN has to do it manually. In any case, such procedures are above my pay grade. w.carter-Talk 08:23, 9 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Merger question

edit

Hi. Many moons ago you merged the King Kong (Toho) page into the King Kong page. I was curious as to how you merge a article into the subsection of another article? I want to merge Godzilla vs. Frankenstein (per the consensus of the discussion) into the Production section of Frankenstein Conquers the World article.Giantdevilfish (talk) 15:32, 14 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Well, since merging into a subsection does not keep the history, a reasonable solution would be to provide a link to the old page in the edit summary. This way, it is easy to find the history of the old content. --Tone 17:17, 14 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article James Stunt is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Stunt (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. SmartSE (talk) 23:16, 1 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Criticism of Noam Chomsky

I noticed that you had restored and moved Criticism of Noam Chomsky to User:Yambaram/Criticism of Noam Chomsky in January 2014 upon request from that user. You may recall that you initially deleted the article at AfD as a POVFORK and BLP violation, and you asked User:Yambaram to start the DRV process to gain consensus for restoring it. Well, long story short, that editor didn't start the DRV and hasn't edited since May 2014, but the article still exists in his/her user space. Would you mind deleting the article again?
