User talk:Wilhelmina Will/Archive 5

Messaging guidelines on this page:

Some simple and important things to remember before leaving me a message:

• I have decided to begin keeping discussions on their talkpages. In future, I will generally respond here, to messages I receive, but I will put up one of those blue banners that say you've replied, on the other party's talk page each time I reply.
• If you are a bot delivering me a message, then by all means do so.
• If you are a vandal delivering me a message, I will accept it, but I would prefer if you did not deliver it in the first place.
• If you are a disgruntled/opposing/envious-of-my-artiste/etc. editor delivering me a message, and trying to discourage me from Wikipedia, please consider this: What was that supposed to prove?
• If you are here for a chit-chat about things, please remember this isn't a chat forum.
• If you are here to notify me about something relating to Wikipedia, I presume it's important; please post it.
• If you are here to give me an award, give me a treat, give me a badge for something, or just tell me I'm great, that will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Orphaned non-free media (File:Quilpie.JPG)

Thanks for uploading File:Quilpie.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 08:44, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Sulgrave Club

AgnosticPreachersKid is probably the best person to talk to regarding DC NRHP listings. He's done a bunch. Daniel Case (talk) 16:02, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Daniel Case. DC just isn't in my area of interest, but thanks for asking. Dincher (talk) 00:57, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

On cursory glance it looks good - there are a couple of cosmetic changes I'd suggest. Mind if I go in and do them myself, or shall I itemize for you? I'll give it another, more in-depth look in a bit, once I've collected myself for the day and can think straight. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 13:26, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Sure thing - mind if I do it in the morning? I'm off to bed at the moment, and close enough to half-asleep that it might be dangerous for me to edit... :-) --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:06, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Sure and it's my pleasure - anytime. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:09, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Sorry - didn't mean to take quite so long. Work got a little hectic this week. Anyhow, I didn't do much - I replaced every iteration of "Sulgrave club" with "Sulgrave Club", as it's the title of an organization and should be capitalized as such. The other thing I did was tighten one sentence a bit - "completed under the name of the Wadsworth House" sounded a bit awkward to me, so I cut it down a tad. The rest looks great! --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 17:51, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

DYK for Carniadactylus

On August 19, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Carniadactylus, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

The Land Before Time XIV

1. Can you help make this working page into a wikipedia worthy article: Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Land Before Time XIV —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scratte2 (talk • contribs) 01:51, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

No, I don't think so. I checked through the sources you provided, and they are all either fan or anti-fan pages, with concepts painted from fan/anti-fan perspectives; the closest link to being a reliable source is the Internet Movie Database link, which leads to a non-existant page. I'm sorry, but it would be against my code to assist in the creation of a page for a movie on which there is no reliable source available to verify that even the concept of the film is being developed.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Wilhelmina Will! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 5 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 944 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Tammy Ader - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Kinkonychelys

Hello, Wilhelmina;

Since the description is from an American Museum of Natural History journal, I downloaded the pdf (link in article) and added some more detail about the specimens and etymology. As for making it longer, the sections on p. 2 and 5 about the rocks and associated fauna, and on p. 21 about paleobiogeography, might be of interest. J. Spencer (talk) 04:48, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

I can't do anything extensive now, but I'll see what I can do when I get back from work. J. Spencer (talk) 14:19, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

I added a paragraph about the paleoecology and provenance. It's at 1578 characters per Microsoft Word; unfortunately, I can't add much more without knowing something about turtles. J. Spencer (talk) 00:15, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

You need to allow for cross-wiki links.

A lot of those red-links could be dealt with if this was allowed. HalfShadow 02:52, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, let me show you. Let's use the main page as an example. See all the red-links there? Now what you could do to make it tidier is to take all the red links and link them to here. For instance 'Canada' you would link to [[wikipedia:Canada]] and then cover up the link with a '|' (in this case [[wikipedia:Canada|Canada]]. You can do an edit preview over there and see what I mean. HalfShadow 03:06, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Rhabdognathus

Hello, Wilhelmina;

Unfortunately, I can't do much for you on this one, at least not within the time frame you would need. I was able to find an online version of the text of Jouve (2007), though. Another article of interest can be downloaded from the AMNH here. I hope these help. J. Spencer (talk) 00:35, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Jouve (2007) is a great reference, we can add some information from the paper to make the article eligible for DYK. Brochu et al. (2002) (full text here) describes a partial skull tentatively referred to Rhabdognathus (later considered the holotype of R. aslerensis by Jouve, 2007). If we can't get enough information by the five day mark, I'll try to find some more information and make an attempt at a 5x expansion (although this will require a lot of information in the article).

Extinct insect articles

Hi Wilhelmina, first thanks for taking the time to create articles for the insect taxa I added to the 2009 in paleontology page. I would like to note my concern however that there were a number of errors in the stubs created, such as listing species as the type when they are not, or listing the genus as extinct when it is not. I have corrected them and will be expanding the articles soon.--Kevmin (talk) 04:52, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Okay, sorry about that! I'll have to study those sorts of documents, referring to the sources, so I understand that better in future. Thanks! Oh no! It's not here!!! (talk) 09:10, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Scratte and Ice Age character redirects

How come when ever I create the page about, Scratte from Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs it always ends up being deleted? It is similar to the page on the Scratte page at Ice Age wiki and it hasn't been deleted once from there, or the other redirects like, Buck (Ice Age), Rudy (Ice Age), Momma (Ice Age) and Baby Dinos (Ice Age), as I think they should redirect to their sections on List of Ice Age characters.--71.97.199.130 (talk) 20:07, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

I don't know anything about that, but my guess would be that the wiki will accept the page because it is devoted to topics involved with the Ice Age franchise, whereas in Wikipedia the requirements for inclusion are more strict. And, action! (talk) 03:01, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Question on your RfA

I have posted an optional question on your RfA. -- RP459 ^Talk/_{Contributions} 22:44, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank-you for your response to my optional question. I wish you the best of luck with this RfA and you have my support. -- RP459 ^Talk/_{Contributions} 01:33, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

And thank you, for asking, and for your support! Cheers! And, action! (talk) 03:00, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Your RfA

People are raising concerns about your lack of experience, activity, and your past blocks, and I have commented on your views regarding admins that you still have linked from your userpage. It doesn't look promising, and it may come to the point where someone may close your RfA early. A good number of candidates don't pass RfA at first attempt (I didn't, for one!), and having failed a RfA doesn't stand against a person when attempting a second or third time. It's your decision how to proceed. You may hang on to see if opinion dramatically changes in your favour (in my experience that is not going to happen), wait for someone to close it early as a fail, or withdraw gracefully yourself. While waiting for someone else to close the RfA will not stand against you in a future RfA, withdrawing when you judge that the community consensus is not in your favour WILL stand in your favour as it says something about your good judgement and your character. I feel that withdrawing now, and then spending some time working in areas of Wikipedia which will give you good experience and knowledge of the admin role, will stand you in good stead to try again in, say, 6 months. Working in Wikipedia:Dispute resolution, or in any of the Category:Wikipedia backlog areas. Good luck! SilkTork *^YES! 10:18, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Just so you know, I have closed it per WP:NOTNOW as you need more experience. If you need help, I am more than willing to help you with succeeding at another request. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 20:11, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Understood, and whichever way it would have turned out, I hope the archive will serve to help other users who plan to nominate themselves, to learn more about how to prepare. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 20:51, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for responding to the userbox question I asked in the neutral section, it is indicating a calm mature response. A couple more suggestions before trying out RFA is to clean up your user page(s) to take off the gimmicks such as the car, and spiral on the Wikipedia logo. It looks fun, but is not what you would expect from a serious admin candidate. May be you are spreading yourself across too many wikis if you can only spend Friday here!

Abraxas sylvata

It's cited now. Joe Chill (talk) 11:54, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Goodie-good!!! Wilhelmina Will (talk) 20:49, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Not true. The article was originally 177 characters. 177 times 5 is 885. This article is longer than 885 characters. Joe Chill (talk) 21:58, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Before your improvements to the article, it was last edited on March 2nd, 2010, and measured at 1,615 bytes. From my experience, because this is the largest it was before you expanded it, and it was made this size months before your contributions, that is the size that would need to be expanded 5x. I could be mistaken though, I might recommend that you take this to BorgQueen, Bedford, or Gatoclass, as they are more experienced with reviewing DYK hooks. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 22:11, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

First: Prose size (text only): 177 B (31 words) "readable prose size". Expanded: Prose size (text only): 1558 B (269 words) "readable prose size". It goes by readable prose size which means the characters. It even says it on WP:DYK: "Articles must have a minimum of 1,500 characters of prose (ignoring infoboxes, categories, references, lists, tables etc.)". Joe Chill (talk) 22:14, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

According to the DYK rules, length refers to readable prose, "ignoring infoboxes, categories, references, lists, tables etc.", and not the size of the source file. This is because it is a simple matter to copy large chunks of boilerplate HTML and other markup that provides no encyclopedic information. You appear to be using the size listings from the article history, which includes the information explicitly listed as not to be considered. In this instance Joe Chill is correct that the readable prose size has been expanded by more than 5x. --Allen3 ^talk 22:45, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Understood. In that case, there is nothing holding the hook back. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 01:59, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Periclimenes

Hi Wilhelmina,

Let me start by saying that I'm always happy to see new crustacean articles, and always happy to help improve them. That said, would it be possible for you to go over the Periclimenes sub-stubs you have recently created and add the taxoboxes and categories that they deserve? I'm sure you have seen the sort of changes I have had to make in the past, so you will be able to use that information to guide you. It would also be preferable for the articles to contain more content than a single line of dry text. When readers click on a link, they may reasonably expect to find out more information. If the only additional information is a word or two about distribution, then I think that would be better added to the genus article. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a competition to see who can create the greatest number of tiny articles.

At a more specific level, you have added an authority to Periclimenes agag that is not in the source you cite, and contradicts that given in your external link (ITIS). Where has it come from? --Stemonitis (talk) 06:12, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

It does indeed say that in the ITIS page. And I do not appreciate users trying to guess what I intend to do. If you want me to spend more time on an individual page, I will do that in future, but I do not want you spreading rumours that I am "competing to create the greatest number of tiny articles". Thank you, and good day. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 08:36, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Please, don't take offence. I have spread no rumour and made no accusation. I was simply trying to emphasise where I think the encyclopaedia's priorities [should] lie. I have in the past merged large series of species-level sub-stubs into more informative genus-level articles. Most of those species articles were automatically created by robots, and as a result I had no qualms about upsetting the author. This case is different, because it involves work done by a real person. Like I say, I love to see new crustacean articles, but equally, I'd hate for a productive editor to be put off by having their work largely undone. To that end, I thought it best to try giving some friendly advice.

On the second issue, I see now that you are right about P. agag. I had (naïvely) expected the link to go to the species page at ITIS, not the genus page, and I hadn't read it properly, so that problem is entirely explained, and I apologise for jumping to conclusions and wasting your time on that point. --Stemonitis (talk) 12:20, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

And I apologize for speaking so tersely. I hope you can understand, though, why I'd initially be teed off at receiving that sort of message.Almost two years ago, I did frequently put a lot of effort into growing an article up to at least start-class, because I liked nominating them for DYK. Then another user claimed that I was violating copyright, and (though I still say it was uncalled for) they caused a huge hullabaloo about it, which I did not like. Since then I've been afraid to expand very much on the content of the pages I make, because I don't want to give others reason to treat me like that again. On occasion, I still muster the courage to expand on some of my pages, as long as I can get others to help, but not very often.

If you think it would be better for me to start putting more time into an individual article, then I'll start doing that again. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 20:26, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Not to worry; I quite understand. My personal opinion (and it is only that) is that depth is more important than breadth: I'd rather see fewer, more detailed articles than many short ones. Maybe this comes from working on arthropods, where the chances of us ever having a worthwhile article on every species are effectively zero. I think the DYK process is a good one; it gives people a set of concrete criteria for aiming towards. There have been plenty of occasions where I thought I had said everything I could about a subject, but was still short of the 1500 characters needed, so I looked for more material and eventually far exceeded the 1500. The process seems to bring out the best in editors. If there ever were any copyright problems with your articles, I'm sure you've learnt from them, so I see no reason to dwell on past problems. It's entirely up to you how you edit, of course, but it would be a shame if you were put off expanding articles by events from a long time ago. --Stemonitis (talk) 08:25, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Dennis Appiah

Dennis Appiah fails WP:ATHLETE. I am creating French youth players wiki's and placing them in the Sandbox as they are likely to make their debuts this season. At the moment, Appiah fails WP:ATHLETE as he hasn't made played in a fully professional league and is thus non-notable, which means the deletion is imminent. Just an honest mistake on your part. Can you possibly revert it. — Joao10Siamun (talk) 01:15, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
