Submission declined

Good Day,

Thanks for the feedback! I'm just an artist who recently starting to publish his music. There is just not much to say about a starting artist unfortunately. So i copied my biography;) If you know anyone who can help me rewrite, then let me know.

Thanks!

Kind regards, Nick

Hi FasttrackNL. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not here to jump-start your career. If you are only here to promote yourself, you won't last long here. Wikipedia is not here for self promotion.HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 21:39, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Good Day,

I'm sorry, but that is not a nice response. Sure, I know the Wikipedia is not here to jump-start my career. That's something I need to do myself. I just want to be found on the internet as Google like's Wikipedia so much. And I asked for some help! So if I understand clearly if I rewrite the biography then it's ok? I'm new to Wikipedia, have a little patience.

Kind regards, Nick

Hi FasttrackNL, I am sorry you didn't like my answer but want to be found on the internet is literally self promotion and trying to jump start your career. How is it not? I suggest checking out Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not which explicitly lists what you want as something Wikipedia is not her for. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 14:10, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Come on, there is always some kind of self-promotion on an artist Wikipedia page. It's a representation of how you are as an artist. Only it's cleverly orchestrated by some management firm. At least I'm honest about my intentions. Thank you for your interesting feedback and help, again creating a Wikipedia page is new for me.

WP:AIV backlog

Hey Hickory, if you're bored tonight, there's a large back log at WP:AIV. Hope you're doing well! Flibirigit (talk) 02:07, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Flibirigit, Sorry, I just got my second dose (yay!) and I am experiencing some side effects. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:27, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – June 2021

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2021).

Administrator changes

Ashleyyoursmile • Less Unless

Husond • MattWade • MJCdetroit • Carioca • Vague Rant • Kingboyk • Thunderboltz • Gwen Gale • AniMate • SlimVirgin (deceased)

Guideline and policy news

• Consensus was reached to deprecate Wikipedia:Editor assistance.
• Following a Request for Comment the Book namespace was deprecated.

Technical news

• Wikimedia previously used the IRC network Freenode. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts decided to move to the new Libera Chat network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a migration guide and Wikimedia discussions about this.

Arbitration

• After a Clarification request, the Arbitration Committee modified Remedy 5 of the Antisemitism in Poland case. This means sourcing expectations are a discretionary sanction instead of being present on all articles. It also details using the talk page or the Reliable Sources Noticeboard to discuss disputed sources.

Odd xtools behavior on articles you created

This is really weird. I have the XTOOLS gadget enabled, so I see page stats directly beneath the page title, including who created the article. On articles you created, it displays your account name, but clicking it goes to User:HickoryOughtShirt who was blocked 3 years ago for impersonating you. I've no idea how your account name has been hijacked within XTOOLS but I wanted to let you know. Schazjmd (talk) 21:25, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Schazjmd and thanks for the note. I am aware of this and brought it up at the help desk a while ago (see here). If I recall, I brought it up with Enterprisey (here) who said it was fixed. Maybe it needs a second look? HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 21:39, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Oh good, as long as you're aware. I was checking out Amie K. Boal, my mouse happened to be over your name and the pop-up said blocked and locked - that caught my attention. Great job on the article, btw! Schazjmd (talk) 21:46, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks . HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 22:08, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the bug report and ping. That's a bug in the XTools API; unfortunately, I don't maintain that code. However, I have filed a Phabricator bug report (T285074) and hopefully someone will take a look at it. Enterprisey (talk!) 04:47, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Request on 23:12:16, 23 June 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Toothdrhf

• Toothdrhf (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Periodontal Prosthesis (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Toothdrhf (talk) 23:12, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi, sorry new to this. can you help me make the Periodontal Prosthesis entry I was working on legit. This is a specialty taught at U Penn and recognized worldwide...graduates of the program since 1961 have gone on to practice all over the world and educate dentists. I currently help run the program but have no other promotional interest in Periodontal Prosthesis other than having it listed and defined on Wikipedia. Thanks in advance for your help.

Howard

Hi Toothdrhf and welcome to Wikipedia. I think firstly, you should examine entries similar to this one and see how they are written. Would this be better off as a section at University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine? HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:20, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

User:Rupertslander

We have a situation where this editor is refusing to discuss changes made to the 2021 template, they have a history of this type of behaviour. I don't think any sanctions should be needed but they need to engage constructively. Deadman137 (talk) 15:21, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

I also ask that you restore Template:2021 Stanley Cup playoffs to the state it was in before the dispute with Rupertslander started per WP:BRD. Deadman137 (talk) 16:38, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Deadman137,  Done. This is why I stay away from those pages . HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 21:41, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't blame you for wanting to stay out of those areas. I think it will get better once people get back to normal after things open back up. Deadman137 (talk) 23:32, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Deadman137, yes I hate the giant sweep we get of like one-time editors during the playoffs. If only they stayed during the whole year. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:42, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Rupertslander has continued their edit war while not signed in and they started making personal attacks in the talk page. Deadman137 (talk) 02:21, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

They then decided to go on a massive tirade on the talk page for multiple hours. I'm thinking that a topic ban regarding the 2020–21 NHL season and 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs should also be considered. Deadman137 (talk) 06:44, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Deadman137, so sorry for the delayed response, I just got my second dose (yay!) and am experiencing some side effects. I likely won't be very active on Wikipedia for maybe the next day or so, so you may wish to bring this to another admin for a speedier response. Sorry! HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:26, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Good to see that you're finally feeling better, I got busy with other things and totally forgot about this. If it's not too much trouble for you would you mind taking a look through the affected area. They're still using IP addresses to avoid scrutiny. Deadman137 (talk) 12:43, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Deadman137, I've never done a range block before which is likely what would be needed. So, instead, I have protected it for two weeks to encourage use of the talk page by Rupertslander. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 19:26, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Jimmy and Mary Dunn

I have finally completed a pair of articles on a Canadian husband and wife combination. I am sure you will enjoy Jimmy Dunn (sports executive) and Mary Dunn (sports executive). I have an image issue on Mary's article which I cannot figure out. If you know where to ask for help it is appreciated. I am also struggling at Template:Did you know nominations/Mary Dunn (sports executive) and don't know where to begin. I feel like I need outside help on this one. Thanks in advance as you are an awesome Wikipedian. Flibirigit (talk) 14:26, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
