WP:MOVETODRAFT userscript
editHello Jonathan Deamer, I've tagged a redirect for CSD R2 that remained after you draftified Draft Hassan Hussein Musa. You might find the MOVETODRAFT user script helpful for draftification. It informs creators about the draftification process and tags remaining redirect for CSD R2 after the move. – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:50, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up, DreamRimmer. Was the first time I've done that and wasn't sure I did it right. Will check out the script! Jonathan Deamer (talk) 14:53, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello there!
editHi Jonathan - hope you're keeping well and having a happy New Year! Just wanted to stop by and say it was a pleasure getting to know you at the end of last year through Train the Trainer (I've only just found out what your username is, otherwise I'd have wished you a Merry Christmas too!). I hope to get involved in more Wikimedia UK outreach work soon. :-) Patient Zerotalk 01:31, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hey @Patient Zero, good to hear from you! Glad you found me here :)
- Was great getting to know you too! I'm excited to run a training session or similar soon. Anything like that on your radar right now? Jonathan Deamer (talk) 20:14, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! I am hoping to be able to do that near to where I live in the forthcoming months, ideally with a group who identify as neurodivergent in some way and from an accessibility/inclusion perspective. I also wouldn't mind travelling a little further to do that if needs be! Patient Zerotalk 22:17, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

AFD
editHello, Jonathan Deamer,
I encourage you to withdraw the AFD you provided a nomination statement is. Then it can be closed as several editors want to happen. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:50, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Liz, thanks for being in touch. Agree that closure seems like a good course of action, but am I able to withdraw a nomination that wasn't really mine? I didn't create the AfD myself. WP:PROCEDURALCLOSE says: "A deletion discussion that is poorly formatted should not be closed for this reason alone, in order to avoid biting new users. Instead, fix it." So I fixed the nomination created by another editor. I still see it as "theirs" to withdraw, but happy to be told if there's policy or consensus that suggests otherwise.

A suggestion for the future
editJust reviewed your article on Camberley Kate, great work and really interesting subject matter. I have a suggestion for your future articles, as I'm not sure if you have applied for access to The Wikipedia Library yet. It's a really good method of finding sources, especially using Newspapers.com through it. Just for Camberley Kate alone, here's some examples I found:
- Dangerous? Not My Dogs Says Kate
- The story of Camberly Kate and the rabies town where many of the dogs are muzzled
- Moral of a good life
- The Dog Woman
- Memory of Kate lives on
Feel free to add these to the article, if you're so inclined. And that's just a sampling of the sources that can be found and just from Newspapers.com alone. There's a lot of other really useful databases in The Wikipedia Library. SilverserenC 17:17, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks so much @Silver seren, this is really helpful! I do use Wikipedia Library occasionally, but I always search from the main homepage rather than going directly to Newspapers.com, and that doesn't seem to return sources like the ones you found quite as readily. I used it to access The BMJ for my work on Elizabeth Ward recently, but I'm sure there is lots of local news coverage for her too. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 17:29, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks too for reviewing the article/DYK :) Jonathan Deamer (talk) 17:30, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
I have sent you a note about a page you started
editHello, Jonathan Deamer. Thank you for your work on Robin Hood's Stone. Ingratis, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:
- Thanks for the thanks! and for this article. I moved it because although German Wikipedia uses the "curly" apostrophe, English Wikipedia doesn't. Also, when translating from other wikipedias, for reasons of copyright, article history and so forth it's necessary to include in an edit summary the attribution statement given at WP:TFOLWP. On this occasion I've added it but please bear it in mind in any future translations.

DYK for Belzan
editOn 19 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Belzan, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that food critic Grace Dent reviewed a Liverpool restaurant that served her rice pudding flavoured with a substance that is banned in the United States for its lethality? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Belzan. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Belzan), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.
Translated articles (continued)
editHi Jonathan. I left you a note above: "when translating from other wikipedias, for reasons of copyright, article history and so forth it's necessary to include in an edit summary the attribution statement given at WP:TFOLWP." I've since sought advice on this, and - with good intentions - have somewhat misinformed you: a translation from another-language wikipedia does need to be attributed but the wording in WP:TFOLWP is only a recommendation - any form of words that conveys the message is fine, and that certainly includes the wording automatically added by the translation tool, so if that is how an article has been translated, there is no need to add anything else. One less thing to do! Best wishes, Ingratis (talk) 13:32, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for clarifying! It makes sense that the tool would do the right thing by default, but I nonetheless like how explicit the attribution statement you suggested is. Will keep in mind! Jonathan Deamer (talk) 14:31, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer granted
editHi Jonathan Deamer, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.
This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

Nadler
editwhat's the problem with the statement off his own website? Joshua Olsen (talk) 14:37, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Joshua Olsen, thanks for reaching out.
- The main issue with this edit is that it's a statement from Nadler's website claiming that he said something in the House, rather than an independent and reliable source claiming that he said something in the House. In general, we base what's in the encyclopaedia on what's written in such such sources so that we have more confidence we can trust it, rather than using what people say about themselves.
- The quote also didn't have any context - it wasn't clear to me whether this was something Nadler had said, voted on, whether he was for or against it etc. It also needs to use inline citations, not a bare URL.
- Finally, your edit immediately after this one on the same page was a sentence fragment that didn't make sense and didn't appear to be supported by the source. It wasn't clear whether or not it was vandalism. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 16:08, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Rafa Riquelme
editHello. I was personally involved in the case and know the edits made to his page to be fact. I'm working on accumulating sources and evidence, but I feel strongly that this information needs to remain on his page. Asdfjklmary (talk) 21:04, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- Everything on Wikipedia needs to be verifiable based on reliable sources. Biographies of living persons have especially strict rules around this. Please don't add this information to the page until it's been reported in a reliable source. Even then, please note Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline, which it sounds like may apply here.
