Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Michael Hardy closed

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:

  1. Michael Hardy is reminded that:
    1. Administrators are expected to set an example with their behavior, including refraining from incivility and responding patiently to good-faith concerns about their conduct, even when those concerns are expressed suboptimally.
    2. All administrators are expected to keep their knowledge of core policies reasonably up to date.
    3. Further misconduct using the administrative tools will result in sanctions.
  2. MjolnirPants is reminded to use tactics that are consistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, and the 4th Pillar when dealing with other users they are in dispute with.
  3. The Arbitration Committee is reminded to carefully consider the appropriate scope of future case requests. The committee should limit "scope creep" and focus on specific items that are within the scope of the duties and responsibilities outlined in Arbitration Policy.

For the Arbitration Committee, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:56, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

WMF waiting for our NPP short list

Hi, It's now been three weeks since we created the NPP Work Group and we are hoping for a dynamic push forward for the urgent updates and required improvements to the quality control of new pages.

We now have the attention of the WMF and their development team has made page patrolling a top priority. They are already working hard to address some of the major issues.

The success of this depends on our team being able to keep the developers supplied with the feedback they need - if we relax on this they will move on.

If you have not already done so, please complete your list of 10 preferences here as soon as possible from the list at To do - the WMF is waiting for our shortlist. Please note that No.8 (NOINDEX) has already been addressed.

Thanks for all your help. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 03:29, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion request declined

Hi Omni Flames, you marked Figure Me Out Tour for A1 deletion as not being able to tell what it was about. It was a poorly written sub-stub, but even in the state at which you marked it, the subject seemed clear enough to me, and therefore not eligible for A1 deletion. LadyofShalott 00:57, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

@LadyofShalott: I agree that it doesn't meet the speedy deletion criteria now, and is a perfectly fine stub. However, I would argue that this was indeed A1-worthy. All it contained was the title of the article, and a couple of meaningless dates. It doesn't say what the article is actually about. Omni Flames (talk) 02:00, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
That's a tour, an artist name, and dates. That's enough (I looked at it before commenting here before) to figure out what it was talking about with minimal thought. I suspect we are just going to disagree here. LadyofShalott 02:03, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
@LadyofShalott: I guess. I won't argue about it anyway, since we both agree that the article is fine now. I'll be more careful with A1s in the future. Omni Flames (talk) 02:10, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Notability of People

Hello Omni, I've created an article about my prof. Dr. Ebrahim Bagheri(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ebrahim_Bagheri). The article has not been approved by you due to two main reason: i) the person is not notable ii) the citations are not verifiable. For i) I've read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academics) and the criteria items 2, 3, and 5 at least are satisfied and the respective citations are given. I would appreciate it if you help me with this article.
