Filling in references from University of Alabama site

Hi Everymorning! If you have access to University of Alabama resources, could you help by improving the references in the article Helen E. Haines? It was created by someone at your university but for two important references it only gives URLs, and these URLs aren't accessible to non-students. If you could fill these in with title, author, publisher/journal, date, etc., that would be great. Thanks in advance! Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:25, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

• Alas, I no longer have access to those resources as I am no longer a student there. Sorry. Everymorning talk 20:37, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Boo... You don't happen to know anyone else that would, do you? Calliopejen1 (talk) 22:04, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Homeopathy

Hello, I happen to have written a couple essays aimed at the apparent misunderstandings you showed at Talk:Homeopathy. They are WP:Fringe scapegoats and WP:Neutral and proportionate point of view. Or maybe I'm flogging them just because. In any case, feedback is welcome. Manul ~ talk 23:51, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

• I see. Sorry I didn't look at the REDFLAG policy sooner. As for the other policies mentioned on the Homeopathy talk page, I suppose I have been swayed by the amount of positive research I have seen into believing homeopathy is not a "fringe theory" as Wikipedia apparently considers it to be. I hope we can reach some sort of compromise. Everymorning talk 02:41, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia considers homeopathy to be fringe (actually pseudoscience) because that is the scientific consensus. Science decides for Wikipedia; Wikipedia editors aren't (or shouldn't be) making arbitrary choices.

A good book on the demarcation problem -- how to distinguish science from pseudoscience -- is Nonsense on Stilts. Manul ~ talk 05:05, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

It's unfortunate that we can't find a compromise, but I really have little interest in editing homeopathy-related pages anymore, given the way in which my edits are consistently received. Everymorning talk 00:42, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

And i was wondering how this consensus is typically achieved in the homeopathy talkpage ---by discouraging intelligent editors to participate --- if they are not anti homeopathy enough, --EDtoHW (talk) 14:13, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

essays going to speedy deletion

Hey, I don't think this discussion about essays got enough discussion. To me, an essay is even more obvious and irritating than shameful promotion (especially when it includes an intro like, "my assignment was to..." etc.). What do you think about doing an RfC? I'd like to start one to get more feedback. —Мандичка^YO 😜 01:11, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

• Feel free to start an RFC if you think it's a good idea. I'd support a proposal of this nature, of course. I'm not so sure the discussion that has already taken place bodes well, though, since most people seemed to think (in the discussion you wikilinked to) that a new essay criterion would not be a good idea. Everymorning talk 01:39, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

OK, I'm going to start one and ping the AfD regulars. It's at Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion. —Мандичка^YO 😜 02:09, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Kent Lai

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Kent Lai requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or an organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Speedy of Isaac S.J. Cooper

The article isn't a hoax, relevant article is Nation of Celestial Space. If you think he's not notable, please take it to WP:AFD instead. shoy (reactions) 19:21, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

• Sorry, I saw "Celestial Space" and assumed it was just some sort of fake extraterrestrial society some kid made up to mess around. Everymorning (talk) 19:23, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

No, I did the same thing. Happy editing, shoy (reactions) 19:28, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Selfie-related deaths and bison

Hi, thanks for your addition to list of selfie-related injuries and deaths. As originally set out, the list was supposed to only cover serious injuries (and deaths), so I've reverted your addition for now, as the woman sustained only minor injuries which were treated more or less on site. If anything, I think the scope of the article should perhaps be tightened; the way it's set up now it allows including the injuries of bystanders, such as the girl that got flung off the train and survived - I'm not sure mention of these would necessarily need to be excluded if the scope were changed. FWIW, I am also aware that there was an exchange student who was reported as in some sources as being attacked while taking a selfie. The better sources instead reported her as posing for someone else taking a picture, so it doesn't qualify as a selfie. Hope this makes sense. Samsara 22:36, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

• Sure, I didn't notice the "serious" thing at the top of the page. Best, Everymorning (talk) 22:38, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Jack O. Gross edits

Thank you for the edits. I am trying to link to a few other pages, is there a way I can message you for help on how to do this? I am not proficient yet with Wikipedia edits.

• The way you add a wikilink is, if you see "Jack O. Gross" in the body of an article, you surround it with brackets like this: Jack O. Gross. Everymorning (talk) 19:34, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. If I want to add a newspaper article as a reference to an existing entry, how do you add the title of the article so it shows up as a link? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jg10101 (talk • contribs) 00:43, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

• You could do this either with one of the citation templates or without them. If you use a citation template, format it like this: Schwab, Dave (1 August 2011). "La Jolla's Jack O. Gross led the way in local television". La Jolla Light. Retrieved 18 August 2015. Note that the title of the article is added in the "title" parameter. Alternatively you could format it without using a template, which would involve enclosing the url in brackets [like this] and then putting the title of the article just before the bracket at the end and after the end of the URL. Everymorning (talk) 00:51, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

What is a citation template? Please explain. Jg10101 (talk) 00:54, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

• It's basically a bunch of characters surrounded by sets of brackets that look like this: {{ }}. An example would be the "cite web" template or the "cite news" template. It allows citations that include more information than just surrounding the raw url in ref tags. If you install User:ProveIt GT it will become much easier to make use of citation templates. An example would be the "La Jolla Light" source I added to Gross's article. Everymorning (talk) 00:58, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

When you use a citation template, do you put the article title, or the link, in the brackets?Jg10101 (talk) 01:02, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

• Both, but in different parts of the template. Look at the following template, ignoring the nowiki tags: {{cite web |url= |title= |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |website= |publisher= |access-date= |quote=}}

• You put the link just to the right of where it says "url=" and the title of the article just to the right of where it says "title=". Everymorning (talk) 01:04, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. Another profile I am working on was tagged with the "this is an autobiography or extensively edited by the person" message. I have reviewed the article and I don't think it is biased. Is there a way to get the article re-evaluated, or otherwise have that embarrassing message removed? Jg10101 (talk) 01:31, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

• I assume you are talking about Josh E. Gross. This article was created in 2007 and tagged with the autobiography tag in 2013. It seems the username of the creating account (Joshg0788) seems similar enough to the name of the article subject to be suspicious. However, the user who actually expanded the article from a redirect was an IP. [2] SO I think it's probably OK to remove the autobiography template from the article. The article itself mostly seems good but I was a little concerned about two sentences that I have just reworded to seem less promotional. Everymorning (talk) 01:39, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Ok, thanks, your edits are good. How do we remove the "autobiography" tag? Likewise, when an article is tagged as being "not notable", what else can one do besides challenge it? I posted two *very notable* profiles and yet it seems like some users just want to flag anything that is new. What advise do you have?Jg10101 (talk) 01:46, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

• You remove the tag by editing the page, deleting the template that looks like {{autobiography|date=August 2013}} (the date is different from article to article depending on when the page was tagged as an autobiography), and clicking "save page". When you say "tagged as being "not notable"" I am not sure what you mean. Do you mean they tagged it for speedy deletion? If so, you can't remove the template, as it says. Instead you just have to contest it (which you appear to already have done), add reliable sources (WP:RS), and hope that an admin will remove the template. Everymorning (talk) 01:50, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

yes, I mean speedy deletion. Typically how long does it take for someone to review it?Jg10101 (talk) 01:55, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

• It varies. I've seen some things sit there for +3 hours before getting deleted. But this is not always the case. Recently I nominated Francis Go for speedy deletion, for example, and it was deleted within an hour. Again, add reliable sources (I notice that Laurence Gross cites a forum as the 4th reference, which is not reliable) and the article will probably not be speedy deleted. Everymorning (talk) 02:00, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

All of this advise is helpful. Can you kindly send an example of how to properly cite a book?Jg10101 (talk) 02:03, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

• See Template:Cite book. Everymorning (talk) 02:03, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

• Also, feel free to ask for help at the Teahouse (WP:Teahouse/Questions) if you want to get feedback from a whole bunch of editors rather than just me and those who might happen to be watching this page (the Teahouse is much more active). Everymorning (talk) 02:05, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

The discussion group is too confusing/overwhelming. In the case of an expired link in a reference, do you just delete it?Jg10101 (talk) 02:27, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

• You could, or you could go to the [archive.org/web/web.php Wayback Machine], type in the URL, and see if it was archived while it was still up. If it was, you can replace the expired link (often called a "Dead link" here) with the archived one. Everymorning (talk) 02:28, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

I tried the crawler, and it gave me this message. Just delete? Page cannot be crawled or displayed due to robots.txt.Jg10101 (talk) 02:32, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

• Yes, that happens with some websites. I guess that the best thing you can do in that case is indeed just to delete it. Everymorning (talk) 02:33, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

How do you upload a photo?Jg10101 (talk) 02:41, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

• Use the WP:File Upload Wizard. Also, let me be honest and say that I am getting tired of you asking me so many questions in such a short period of time, and I would really appreciate it if you would go to, for example, the WP:Help desk instead if you want more help with technical stuff like most of what you have asked me about. Everymorning (talk) 02:43, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but the site is terribly confusing to a newcomer. I appreciate your help. Jg10101 (talk) 02:44, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

• You're welcome. I agree it is confusing (it was to me years ago too). Everymorning (talk) 02:45, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

I see no reason to doubt the accuracy of his website, and that he's one of the 3 joint s Managing ed. of the Notable journal Annals of Combinatorics has excellent 3rd party support.

RfA analysis

Hi Everymorning,

I'm just wondering if you plan to finish the data for successful 2014 RfAs on your RfA study page. I found it very useful for data I'm collecting here, to give statistical backup for RfA reform efforts, but it only has a complete record for 2015. --Biblioworm 21:12, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

@I dream of horses: this seems like dubious advice. WP:NPP explicitly asks that editors leave pages unreviewed if they are unsure of the correct action. VQuakr (talk) 04:42, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

@VQuakr: Right, that's the only reason why you wouldn't do it--if you are sure that it's includable, then you review it. Thanks for clarifying. --I dream of horses (talk to me) (contributions) @ 05:00, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

@I dream of horses: That's still not quite right. An editor should only mark an article reviewed if it has been reviewed. That means completing each step at WP:NPP#Patroller checklists. Run out of time, or not sure what to do for one specific step? Leave it unreviewed, please! VQuakr (talk) 05:04, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Five minutes to help make WikiProjects better

Hello!

First, on behalf of WikiProject X, thank you for trying out the WikiProject X pilot projects. I would like to get some anonymous feedback from you on your experience using the new WikiProject layout and tools. This way, we will know what we did right, and if we did something horribly wrong, we can try to fix it. This feedback won't be associated with your username, so please be completely honest. We are determined to improve the experience of Wikipedians, and your feedback helps us with that. (You are also welcome to leave non-anonymous feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X.)

Please complete the survey here. The survey has two parts: the first part asks for your username, while the second part contains the survey questions. These two parts are stored separately, so your username will not be associated with your feedback. There are only nine questions and it should not take very long to complete. Once you complete the survey I will leave a handwritten note on your talk page as a token of my appreciation.

Dr. Wachler

Hi Everymorning, would you be open to posting some of these medical publications in the reference list on Boxer Wachler page? I think this would be important and makes sense to include them while the page is still in discussion for deletion. There used to be over 200 references on original page. A quick Google News search will show over 100 independent media sources. Now there are only 3 and no peer-reviewed publications in the medical literature are there now. It's like the page was vandalized. Thank you kindly in advance for your consideration of adding either some references found in a Google news search or medical journal articles below as the page is semi-protected now. Thank you very kindly. JJJjacksoneverst (talk) 15:25, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

• I would recommend only adding the most highly cited ones if you do add them, as adding too many might violate WP:IINFO. Everymorning (talk) 15:44, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi Everymorning, thank you very much for the direction. I identified the following three publications as being the most highly cited from www.pubmed.com (and I put in parenthesis the number of citations for each article below). Unfortunately I am prevented from editng the page as it is semi-protected. If you would be open to adding these three high-impact papers, that would be great. I am unable to do so. Thank you for your consideration. JJ Jjacksoneverst (talk) 03:53, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of The Basement Effect (Band) Page

Hi,

apologies I am a new author here and originally added a shell page about the band The Basement Effect. I have since started to re-create the article in my sandbox area with all the relevant citations and backup information before I re-submit the page, so do I just re-submit this again or do I need you to release the original deleted page? EricJones1975 (talk) 13:40, 9 September 2015 (UTC)EricJones1975EricJones1975 (talk) 13:40, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

• I tagged the page for speedy deletion, but I did not actually delete it. It was User:NawlinWiki who deleted the page. If you can add WP:RS and establish that the band meets WP:BAND then you should be able to move it back into article space. But it looks like neither of your sandboxes are ready for this yet.

User Molecularpsychiatry & page "Julio Licinio"

Hi,

So I was going to warn said user about COI and saw you had already warned them a while ago. I flagged the page with severe close paraphrasing and wrote them about single-purpose accounts and Wiki promotion policy, but I don't know if that's sufficient. Since you posted on their talk page they have continued to focus exclusively on that article.

The page has major issues with copying from the subject's bio sections, but I don't know who added the problematic content. I've only edited so far and don't know the norms for this enforcement stuff. I wasn't sure if the close paraphrasing should be considered plagiarism and immediately removed. The article is also too detailed I feel.

Thank you!

...for restoring the info box/lead paragraphs on the Pamela Meyer page. I saw it on my watch list three minutes ago, fired up my computer to revert the edit (which blanked the info box and the first paragraph of the article) and found that you'd already done it. Awesome. Thank you. (So strange that someone would do that. It's not like she's controversial!) Julie JSFarman (talk) 13:36, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
