Language localisation

Please see the discussion on my talk page for language localisation codes User_talk:FozzieHey#Re:_Language_localisation_unnecessary?, if you still feel it's unnecessary then I'm happy to have a discussion here or continue the discussion in that section, thanks! FozzieHey (talk) 22:56, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Just saw it, and whilst I don't agree that we should be adding lang=en to "help other wikis" (because that isn't our problem, and it clutters up English wiki), I understand that people have decided we should apparently do that. I've self reverted. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:59, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Re: Clap For Our Carers edits

Hello Joseph

Thank you for your comments and apologies if you believed I was spamming. This was just plain ignorance on my part.

However I believe that the immediate revocation of my edits is unnecessary and causing inaccuracies.

This discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.


What was an award nomination has since become an award win for example, so by undoing my changes you have immediately made the article out of date, whereas I was updating the information to be most current.

I did not mean to spam links, I only believed that I was adding citations to back up the updated information regarding the award that Clap for Our Carers has now won (that it currently says they were only nominated for).

Please see these independent, respected links as evidence of this:

https://www.thirdsector.co.uk/third-sector-digital-awards-%E2%80%93-best-online-awareness-campaign-creative-clinic-clapforourcarers/article/1690746

https://www.thirdsectordigitalawards.com/results-2020/

https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/community-agency-behind-clap-for-carers-initiative-wins-award/

I was also adding factual evidence that proves the impact and success of the campaign. This must surely be of value from a perspective of news and information relating to the campaign?

In particular this: "Why did it win? By 30 June 2020, the social media reach of the #ClapForCarers campaign included more than 413 million views on TikTok; 553,000 impressions on Instagram; and 1.4 million impressions on Twitter. Leading figures in public office supported the campaign, including the Queen, the Prime Minister and the Mayor of London, and the campaign also benefited from celebrity support, from the Beckhams to Daniel Craig. The campaign was hugely successful in raising awareness of, and pride in, the vital roles that frontline NHS and key workers played across the coronavirus pandemic, with the weekly round of applause becoming a focal point of the initial crisis. The BBC, ITV, Channel Four and Sky News / Sky One broadcasted the applause live for nine weeks."

and also this: "What did the judges say? This work hit at the right time and the right place and people were ready for it,” judges said, praising the coordinated effort to promote Annemarie’s initiative. “The response and reach was massive and powerful. the most effective work here. The Clap for Carers has become part of our culture."

I hope this will allay your concerns and that you are able to accept at least some, if not all of these suggested edits. If not are you able to help with creation of the entry in such a way as to be acceptable?

Many thanks for your consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adam Selwyn (talkcontribs) 18:07, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Request on 12:51:03, 9 August 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Donsolomon



Donsolomon (talk) 12:51, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Re the Jorge Sikora article, which you have declined on the grounds that he has not played a first team game. Please read the article carefully - it clearly states he appeared professionally for the Bradford City first team in the EFL Trophy. As a professional footballer for Bradford City, he certainly meets notability guidelines. Donsolomon (talk) 12:51, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Donsolomon He played 24 minutes in a cup game, but the cup game was against Man City U-21s, who are not a fully professional side (as they are the reserve team). Therefore, he doesn't pass WP:NFOOTY, and he certainly doesn't pass Wikipedia's general notability guideline. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:52, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
