Hi, you deleted this article at AfD a few weeks ago. Can you tell if the new version falls under WP:G4? PC78 (talk) 20:30, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Greetings PC78. Seems someone has redirected it already. JoJo Eumerus mobile (talk) 12:41, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Outline of Florence

I was going through my AfD log and noticed this article and I'm considering taking it to DRV after the result of the natural language processing outcome here Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2019 June 6 which rejected the notion of outlines as WP:OR, though not necessarily about redundant forks - since you closed the XfD, wondering if you have any thoughts on the matter? Thanks! SportingFlyer T·C 00:20, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Greetings. First, I am currently on holiday in a place with snail WLAN so I can't much inspection. Second, in the AFD I closed the key arguments were about redundancy not OR but RoySmith point about a RFC might apply, so...flip a coin? JoJo Eumerus mobile (talk) 12:21, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

I haven't spent too much time on this, but my initial impression is that DRV is the wrong tool. It looks to me that there's a general debate going on about outlines and portals in general, and the right way to discuss that would be in some sort of RFC, as noted above. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:51, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Merging "Abdul Sattar (Maharashtra politician)" into "Abdul Sattar Abdul Nabi" and then deleting "Abdul Sattar (Maharashtra politician)"

Hi Jo-Jo, I had nominated "Abdul Sattar (Maharashtra politician)" (a wikipage about an Indian politician) for deletion because a duplicate page ("Abdul Sattar Abdul Nabi") already existed. After the Afd discussion, consensus was to merge the nominated page with "Abdul Sattar Abdul Nabi". I've done just that, i.e. I merged all the info from "Abdul Sattar (Maharashtra politician)" to "Abdul Sattar Abdul Nabi". I wonder what happens to the redundant "Abdul Sattar (Maharashtra politician)" page now? How do I delete it? Would love any help in this regard.

Thanks -- GreaterPonce665 (talk) GreaterPonce665 22:46, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Greetings, GreaterPonce665. The last step remaining would be to redirect the redundant article to the target. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 12:17, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Undeleting an AFD you closed as delete

Hi, I've just gotten a request to undelete the article deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Best Picture milestones, which you closed. Is this all right with you? When I explained the process (link for the exchange in question), the user said basically he wants to put it in his sandbox and use some of the content in other articles, so I referred to WP:CWW and noted that it couldn't stay in a user sandbox.

If you're all right with undeletion, I suspect that I'll redirect it to Academy Award for Best Picture (unless you or the other user has a better idea) and repeat to him my instructions to attribute the source page (I'll use the template that's put on the talk page, if I can remember what it's called). Is all of this all right with you? And if not, would you explain what you think is the wisest course of action? Thank you. Nyttend (talk) 03:38, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Possibly relisting an old AfD or outright deleting an article

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

---

A couple of months ago you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bernard Wojtkowiak with the consensus being to merge the article with Erie County, New York. However, I don't really think its possible to merge a one line article about a county legislator who only served in said legislature for one year into Erie County. Is it possible to re-list the article for deletion again or even just outright delete it given the subject was found not to have passed notability standards? Best, GPL93 (talk) 19:16, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

You know, I admit that the merge proposal made relatively little sense; @Path slopu and Otr500:? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:23, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

The current politics of AFD usually leans to the literal meanings of !votes. I feel that anything other than "keep" is an indication the article does not warrant stand lone status and feel that policies and guidelines should be taken into account. For some reason this seems logical to me and possibly involves some common sense. However, it tends to get confusing in closings. Sometimes my intentions work but others not so much.

At the time I failed to sign my !vote (went mental) there was the Nom of "Delete" and a "Merge". If I !voted delete and someone else "Merge" then past closings indicate a "No consensus" would have occurred so I added merge. This prompted me to !vote "Delete" with a secondary to "Merge" if possible. The article is a one paragraph two sentence BLP with one reference so fails NPOL, any basic notability criterion, is a dictionary mention, and pseudo biography likely never to be expanded. That would seem to be enough to warrant deletion but is not necessarily how it works. The fiasco of keeping blank articles and that !voting can be a head count over policy has led to some dismay. Merge was a better option of keep or keep by confusion. I feel "Delete" was warranted and if a reconsideration of closing is opted for would support deletion. If that is not possible I would reaffirm "Delete" on a renomination. Otr500 (talk) 14:43, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

Personally, I'd be inclined to allow renomination or a relist. Even considering WP:ATD the material isn't mergeable without some substantial rework of the target article. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:05, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

I just re-nominated. It's probably the easiest way to sort this out. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:40, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Bulldogge Brasileiro merge

Hello Jo-Jo, further to the consensus Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bulldogge Brasileiro I merged the article to the article [20] However, one editor named User:Atsme keeps reverting it. I left him a message on his talk page, but he is refusing to follow the consensus to merge the article. Would you please get involved, I do not want to get involved an edit war. Thank you Aquatastetalk 18:31, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Greetings. I don't think that the AFD does automatically imply that all content should be merged over, just that which can be reliably sourced. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 18:35, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi, all of it had sources it was notability that was the issue. You closed the deletion discusssion with the following statement: The result was merge to Bulldog breeds. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:35, 28 July 2019 (UTC). I agree with the consensus to merge, but one person User:Atsme keeps reverting the entire merge. Aquatastetalk 21:48, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

I think that a discussion would be needed on Talk:Bulldog breeds, there. AfDs like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bulldogge Brasileiro prescribe the fate of one page - Bulldogge Brasileiro - but they are not necessarily binding on editors of another page.

After two years without any bot-related activity (such as posting on bot-related pages, posting on a bot's talk page, or operating a bot), BAG members will be retired from BAG following a one-week notice. Retired members can re-apply for BAG membership as normal if they wish to rejoin the BAG.

• Two BAG members retired
  • Madman (talk · contribs) retired.
  • BU Rob13 (talk · contribs) vanished and retired.
• Three new BAG members have been voted in, welcome to the BAG!
  • Primefac (talk · contribs) joined on 2018-12-12 (RfBAG). Primefac operates PrimeBOT (talk · contribs) which does a plethora of tasks.
  • TheSandDoctor (talk · contribs) joined on 2019-01-21 (RfBAG). TheSandDoctor operates several bots including DeprecatedFixerBot (talk · contribs).
  • Enterprisey (talk · contribs) joined on 2019-08-07 (RfBAG). Enterprisey operates EnterpriseyBot (talk · contribs), which does a plethora of tasks, RemindMeBot (talk · contribs) which posts reminders, and codes several scripts.

We thank former members for their service and wish Madman a happy retirement. We note that Madman and BU Rob13 were not inactive and could resume their BAG positions if they so wished, should their retirements happens to be temporary.

BOTDICT

Two new entries feature in the bots dictionary

• Editor-hostile wikitext – describes wikitext structuring that is editor hostile, even if it renders correctly
• Spectrum of usefulness – describes how tasks are deemed useful or not

BOTPOL

• Activity requirements: BAG members now have an activity requirement. The requirements are very light, one only needs to be involved in a bot-related area at some point within the last two years. For purpose of meeting these requirements, discussing a bot-related matter anywhere on Wikipedia counts, as does operating a bot (RFC).
• Copyvio flag: Bot accounts may be additionally marked by a bureaucrat upon BAG request as being in the "copyviobot" user group on Wikipedia. This flag allows using the API to add metadata to edits for use in the New pages feed (discussion). There is currently 1 bot using this functionality.
• Mass creation: The restriction on mass-creation (semi-automated or automated) was extended from articles, to all content-pages. There are subtleties, but content here broadly means whatever a reader could land on when browsing the mainspace in normal circumstances (e.g. Mainspace, Books, most Categories, Portals, ...). There is also a warning that WP:MEATBOT still applies in other areas (e.g. Redirects, Wikipedia namespace, Help, maintenance categories, ...) not explicitely covered by WP:MASSCREATION.

BOTREQs and BRFAs

As of writing, we have...

• 20 active BOTREQs, please help if you can!
• 14 open BRFAs and 1 BRFA in need of BAG attention (see live status).
• In 2018, 96 bot task were approved. An AWB search shows approximately 29 were withdrawn/expired, and 6 were denied.
• Since the start of 2019, 97 bot task were approved. Logs show 15 were withdrawn/expired, and 15 were denied.
• 10 inactive bots have been deflagged (see discussion). 5 other bots have been deflagged per operator requests or similar (see discussion).

New things

• All bot-related discussion pages now have a centralized and searchable archive box (see discussion). Discussions are searchable per noticeboard, or globally.
• {{Bot}} now supports |status=expired (see discussion). This led to the deletion of Category:Indefinitely blocked Wikipedia bots as useless (see discussion).
• WP:BOTREQ now mentions WP:SCRIPTREQ and WP:AWBTASKS as alternatives to bot requests.
• The bot creation guide now mentions bot flags, and two new languages Awk and MATLAB. Other minor tweaks have been made.
• AAlertBot has received major code updates. In particular, WP:AALERTS will now report splits, mergers, and AFC submissions.
• Citation bot has received several updates (User talk:Citation bot/Archive 10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17). In particular, the bot stopped the automated removal of |publisher= from {{cite journal}}, and stopped the automated addition of CiteSeerX links, and now uses OAuth to authenticate those who make requests of the bot.

ugspub utah files

Regarding Wikipedia:WikiProject_Resource_Exchange/Resource_Request/Archive_71#ugspub.nr.utah.gov, all the links work just fine for me. I can send you the pdfs if you'd like. Galobtter (pingó mió) 20:17, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

@Galobtter:Thanks, but it seems like I managed to get to them via Wayback. It seems like that website had an outage, the last few days. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:18, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

File:Meir Kahane.jpg

I noticed that you moved the discussion regarding File:Meir Kahane.jpg to Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2019 August 8. You may not have noticed that the other file was renamed, which means that the discussion is now redundant. If you'd be so kind to review the discussion and consider to close it as redundant, I'd appreciate it. Debresser (talk) 10:56, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

Greetings, the reason why I didn't close it is because it's not clear if your argument would address WP:NFCC#1; either we need to demonstrate that the Commons file is of someone else or that only the non-free file is fit for purpose, and the reasons you gave there are kinda vague. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 11:08, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

Hm. Perhaps I didn't express myself clearly. Although I thought I was clear enough. The file nominated is a well known picture, recognizable as belonging to the person mentioned in the title. The file at Commons is unknown to the large public, and not recognizable as being Meir Kahane. Therefore it is useless. Debresser (talk) 12:43, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

DYK for Meers Fault

On 10 August 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Meers Fault, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Meers Fault in Oklahoma was active during the last 3,000 years and features a scarp that reaches 16 feet (5 m) in height? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Meers Fault. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Meers Fault), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Your help desk question

You didn't get a response to this question. What do you want to do? I don't have an answer for you.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:34, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Well, it seems like that question is moot now as an uninvolved editor closed the discussion. But thanks. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 18:38, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

I marked the question resolved.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:46, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
