Mineralogy Barnstar.

Hello and a very good evening to you! Great thanks for support. I was sincerely glad to receive your appreciation of the Mineralogy Barnstar. Hope, that this Star will serve well soon, awarding all Editors, contributing to the coverage of mineralogy subjects on Wikipedia. That could be really nice, if the contributors will be awarded by the, belonging precisely to this field of science, genuine Mineralogy Barnstar.

Thank you very much again.

Regards, Chris.Chris Oxford (talk) 22:49, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Thank you kindly - it's very lovely. There are those, I am sure, who would dispute the "constructive" bit, but even so...onward and upward, I suppose? (Backward and downward, says James Thurber.)

Happy editing! --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 23:31, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

@Ser Amantio di Nicolao: I can't say I've gone through them all but I've looked at your edits before and I've yet to see any that weren't constructive. I'm glad you like it.

Subgenera

In a scientific name, when there's another capitalized word enclosed in parentheses following the name of the genus, it's a subgenus. Including the subgenus in the scientific name is optional, and in most contexts it is omitted. If the subgenus is included, it should be capitalized and in parentheses. I think it best just to leave it out. Anywhere that chrysomelidae.it has "Pachnephorus (Pachnephorus)" can be simplified to Pachnephorus for Wikipedia's purposes (you could include |subgenus=Pachnephorus in the taxobox though). Plantdrew (talk) 21:34, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

@Plantdrew: Thanks for letting me know. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 21:43, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

You're welcome. I just remembered another similar formulation with parentheses. You might possibly come across something like Pachnephorus (=Pseudocolaspis) rigida (made up example), where somebody wants to write about a species that has been moved from one genus to another. There will be an = sign in that case though, while indication of a subgenus won't have the equal sign. Plantdrew (talk) 22:16, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Nomination of Syagrus atricolor for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Syagrus atricolor is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Syagrus atricolor until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Shirt58 (talk) 13:59, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

@Rubbish computer: what's happening here? You are usually so easy-going and sensible. What's different? --Shirt58 (talk) 14:23, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Shirt58:, I wouldn't say I've changed anything in how I edit. I thought Syagrus could refer to several different genuses. Sorry about this. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 15:37, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Like here for example http://insectoid.info/insecta/pterygota/neoptera/holometabola/coleoptera/polyphaga/cucujiformia/chrysomeloidea/chrysomelidae/eumolpinae/syagrus/

@Shirt58: There can be multiple genera with the same scientific name, as long as they are governed by different nomenclatural codes (i.e. they are in different "kingdoms" going by a long outdated standard for what the kingdoms are). Gordonia is the name of a plant, an animal and a bacterium; slapping an "ia" on the end of a common Western European surname like Gordon is pretty much a guarantee that a genus name will end up being repeated. In rare cases, there are even binomials that are shared between kingdoms (e.g. Gaussia princeps, Ficus variegata) Plantdrew (talk) 21:48, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

@Plantdrew: This could be my cue to get all huffy and defensive... "well, of course I know all that. I did pass high school biology, you know, buddy"... and that would be a great way for me to demonstrate to my ignorance of the very field of knowledge we're discussing here.

Heck, after I finished high school, some guys established that they're weren't just simply "Eukaryotes" and "Prokaryotes" but also another "domain" I'd never heard of.

And I also don't really understand how Cladistics works.

This is just between you, me, and and the RubCo-Meister, right? Don't tell anyone else I said this.

User group: New Page Reviewr

Hello Alextejthompson.

Based on the patrols you made of new pages during a qualifying period in 2016, your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed.

New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

• Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
• Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
• Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:34, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Redirects with "The"

Hi there I noticed that you have created a very large number of redirects with the article "The". I was wondering what the motivation behind this was seeing as the naming convention WP:THE discourages the general use. I understand that redirects are cheap but I don't really see the usefulness. When one searches in google with the or without it the GHITS are the same. And as the convention in wikipedia is not to use it I think very few people search a subject with the article "the". --Domdeparis (talk) 11:00, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Domdeparis, I created a lot of redirects without realising many weren't useful up until about one year ago, when there was an ANI thread in which I agreed to stop making redirects. I can flag them for CSD if you want. Thanks for letting me know, Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 16:43, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation I only came to the subject because I tagged a redirect "the" as an AfD and someone pointed out that there were tons so I had a look at a few and your name popped up quite à bit and as you seem to have done a lot of editing I was curious to know whether there was something I was missing. it might be a good idea to CSD them as other editors are citing them as a reason not to delete but it's up to you. thanks for the info anyway.

New Page Review - newsletter

Hello Alextejthompson,

Breaking the back of the backlog

We now have 816 New Page Reviewers! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog. Now it's time for action.

Mid July to 01 Oct 2016

If each reviewer does only 10 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
Let's get that over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.

Second set of eyes

Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.

Getting the tools we need - 2016 WMF Wishlist Survey: Please vote

With some tweaks to their look, and some additional features, Page Curation and New Pages Feed could easily be the best tools for patrollers and reviewers. We've listed most of what what we need at the 2016 WMF Wishlist Survey. Voting starts on 28 November - please turn out to make our bid the Foundation's top priority. Please help also by improving or commenting on our Wishlist entry at the Community Wishlist Survey. Many other important user suggestions are listed at at Page Curation.

Hey there! A little over a year ago, you created the article Mariam Ramon Climent. I've only just noticed it, including your comment that there were no sources for an accented o. I've seen several sources using the "Ramón" spelling, but think the following would be the most reliable:

Deletion of Dan Willis comedian

Hello Rubbish Computer.. I'm a little confused, you put the page I created up for speedy deletion, also mentioned that I could contest this deletion, but I cant find that option anywhere..

The reason you site is that the page had previously been deleted. I've contacted Dan, who is a comedian I've watched for many years, he was happy for me to create a page, but pointed out that his friend had one made for him a few years ago, made by someone on Fiver.com This was deleted.

I found this deleted page in archive, and was careful only to use information that could be cited directly from online publications, articles, etc, all were referenced.

It would be almost impossible for the two pages to not feel similar- they are about the same person.

Does this mean that you would delete any Wiki page about Comedian Dan Wills, even though he's quite obviously a real person with a lot of information out there about him.?

Every Link I included was to very credible sources. Including the BBC, Financial Times, Evening Chronicle and the worlds largest comedy website Chortle. Rhiandorothybell (talk) 04:15, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Please explain what I'd need to do, to not have this page deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhiandorothybell (talk • contribs) 02:40, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Rhiandorothybell, sorry I didn't get to this sooner. You can contest a speedy deletion by leaving a message on the article's talk page. There is a criteria under which an article can be requested for speedy deletion if the article was previously deleted following a deletion discussion: however, that was not applicable in this case as Dan Willis has since become notable.

If you have contacted Dan personally then this likely means you have a conflict of interest, meaning you have a connection to the subject of this article. You will need to disclose this on the article talk page, and it is recommended that you request changes to the article there rather than editing directly if you have a conflict of interest: however, this is only a recommendation and you are still allowed to edit the page.

Thanks for creating the article, and sorry for any trouble this may have caused. Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions, --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 18:35, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Your best friend and user page abuser,

Barbara (WVS) (talk) 13:19, 10 December 2016 (UTC) aka Bfpage

Hi Barbara (WVS), what would the AWB'ing_{(look, you just invented a new verb)} involve specifically? Thanks, Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 14:05, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Well obviously and with admission of great and overwhelming embarrassment, I have no idea what you CAN_{(not an acronym)} to with AWB_{(definitely an acronym)}. When ever I insert content or references, someone always shows up at the party waving their AWB. Then they press the 'on' button and then wonderful improvements are made to all the stuff that I just inserted. I guess to me its a lot like magic. I sometimes get the impression that the whole purpose of AWB_{(an acronym)} is to elevate edit counts into the 100 thousands. I am definitely not accusing you of such questionable motivation since I know, you of all rubbish, act in good faith. I am quite reckless at times with my content creation and have assumed that AWB was developed just to keep me from looking like a total buffoon. At least this has given me an opportunity to leave a constructive and humorous message on someone's talk page who I know has a an appreciation of good cheer. You use or not use your magic AWB wand on any of my articles that you want to for whatever you think needs to be improved. Best Regards from the President of Your Fan Club,

Barbara (WVS) (talk) 21:16, 11 December 2016 (UTC) aka Bfpage

Hi Barbara (WVS), I fix typos with AWB but am not really familiar with the other functions. AWB would be good if someone created a lot of articles and made the same small, simple mistake(s) on each one.

Regarding feline zoonosis, I actually have three cats but can not for the life of me understand the mentality of people who let their pets lick their mouth.

I think for a lot of users AWB is largely for enhancing their edit count, but I can't tell anyone's motives for sure and if they're improving Wikipedia it doesn't bother me. Personally I find it relaxing to make edits that are unlikely to be controversial in any way, such as endlessly fixing typos, although if you mess stuff up with AWB it's often on a comically large scale and if you don't fix everything immediately by rollbacking before anyone notices I should imagine there's quite a lot of drama. Ultimately, one's edit count is completely meaningless and I'm glad you can see that. I think making it higher is personally satisfying, and I've been criticised for being too active on here before, which seemed unreasonable: having a clear obsession with the stats is a perfectly fair grounds for criticism, but I can't see why someone would criticise a user purely for making a lot of edits. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 22:07, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Please, PLEASE_{not an acronym} if any of your edits turn out to be hilariously outrageous, save it to a sandbox and then let me see it. You already know how much fun Wikipedia can be, though I don't believe 99.99% of editors know that. NEWS FLASH_{Not an acronym}! I've just met the qualifications of being a notable Wikipedian as now there is a (non-linkable) newspaper article in our major newspaper here in Pittsburgh. I've also made it into Temple University's Newspaper. _{wow I am special.} You can't write an article about me because you have an obvious conflict of interest that is evidenced by your cordial and friendly communication with me. No one would believe anything you or me would write. Oh well. You realize that this talk page message is totally inappropriate since we are NOT_{[not an acronym]} discussing article improvement but I readily accept all the blame. The Very Best of Regards,

Barbara (WVS) (talk) 16:38, 12 December 2016 (UTC) aka Bfpage

@Barbara (WVS): I haven't made any funny mistakes so far that I'm aware of, just changing one misspelling to another.

Maybe create your own bot?

I wonder if you could help by taking over some bot tasks. More specifically,

• Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Yobot 17
• Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Yobot 19
• Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Yobot 9
• Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Yobot 10
• Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Yobot 25

I can provide you with scripts and advice.

@Magioladitis: I don't have any experience with bots. Is it something the average person can learn to do or is it too complex? --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 19:40, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Rubbish computer you only need AWB access. then I can teach how to do it. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:41, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

@Magioladitis: I have AWB, so yes. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 19:42, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Note that because these are AWB you can get to understand them and test them manually. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 19:43, 20 December 2016 (UTC).

@Rich Farmbrough: @Magioladitis: Thank you both. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 19:44, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Health care is an accepted spelling

We've chosen this spelling for the article, and it exists in the title. If you do not like it please start a discussion about it. Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 16:07, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

@CFCF: Very sorry, I thought it was a typo because I think I'd seen it being changed with AWB before. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 16:08, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

No problem, I wouldn't have reverted were it not because we use that spelling in titles. Happy holidays! Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 16:30, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

@CFCF: Happy holidays. I made about 30 other replacements. Do you want me to rollback them, or should I just leave them, as it is an okay spelling either way, although I shouldn't have made the edits? Thanks, --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 17:16, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

As long as we are consistent within articles I am fine with either "health care", "health-care", or "healthcare". The best solution may be to have the articles with "health care" in the title moved to "healthcare", and simply enforcing some standard in each article. Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 17:19, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

@CFCF: Okay, thanks. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 17:21, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Editor of the Week seeking nominations (and a new facilitator)

The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.

The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?

Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!

In addition, the WikiProject is seeking a new facilitator/coordinator to handle the logistics of the award. Please contact L235 if you are interested in helping with the logistics of running the award in any capacity. Remove your name from here to unsubscribe from further EotW-related messages.
