ANI mention

Hi Joseywales - hope you are well. For info, and incase you didn't get the ping, I mentioned you in this thread with regards to the aricle patrolling you have done in relation to articles I've created. I'd be grateful for your input. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 19:13, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

Banana blood disease

...is the strangest name for a disease I've ever seen. I imagine you jumped to review it just to see if I was making that up. I thought it was a mistake when I first read it. Invasive Spices (talk) 21:15, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Invasive Spices, Hi, I was going through a list of redirects only at that point as there were way too many new Olympics related articles for someone like me not so interested in them to review today. I did a quick before check found this if it's any help where you {{cn}} tagged the target article. Keep up your good work and happy editing JW 1961 ^Talk 22:33, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

• Very nice. I was just joking, but yes that's the kind of cite I needed. I'm going to go ahead and use that: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_banana_and_plantain_diseases&diff=1035263440&oldid=1035121817. Thanks. Invasive Spices (talk) 16:52, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

  Invasive Spices, you're welcome, have a great weekend JW 1961 ^Talk 17:59, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

Deals Today

Hi, I saw you want the page Deals Today deleted, I have changed the infobox from company to website, as Deals Today was acquired by the main company. It is not commercial, we are linking this page to other Wikipedia pages, to give more details on the project. I stay open for further questions — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frederik Van Lierde (talk • contribs) 22:52, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Frederik Van Lierde, If you are involved with this organisation (per the use of "we" above), you need to disclose a Conflict of Interest - see WP:COI, if you expect to receive payments from that organisation you would also need to declare same - see WP:PAID - I'll leave some helpful links on your talk page. I base my delete/keep/merge votes in deletion discussions on notability - see WP:GNG and WP:NCORP which will give you an idea of some of the requirements for new articles. Thank you for your contributions to the project. JW 1961 ^Talk 22:11, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello Josey, thank you for your fast reply, yes, before I was updating several pages, mostly updating spelling errors, and adding pure information/stats.

In this case of Deals Today. Yes, I don't get paid. I am not here on Wikipedia to make money or anything. I am just entering information, in a positive way and to give readers a way to see more than just the other commercial pages (yes they exist).

The goal is to give a lot of independent insights & news, non-commercial. (As you can see I even link to surveys with nothing to do with the project.

1 thing, I can't see my previous updates on other pages, so it seems this is my "first update" It Is snot

I don't have a second account this is my only one. (Will find it out)

Let's keep Wikipedia clean and interesting! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frederik Van Lierde (talk • contribs) 23:21, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

How can I delete the pages

Hi, ok, can you tell me how I can remove the pages? Then the discussion is over also I will close down my account as some other people, are just not cool here. I have enough of Wikipedia (not you, some others, it is not worth it) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frederik Van Lierde (talk • contribs) 23:56, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Frederik Van Lierde, Hi, the deletion discussion will run for 7 days on the article Deals Today after which it will be decided by an admin whether to keep or delete (or something else) based on the logic put forward by the users taking part in the discussion. I note that another page you created Frederik van Lierde has already been speedy deleted (see WP:CSD for details of when and why an article might be deleted in this way). Thank you JW 1961 ^Talk 08:42, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

urgent assistance

Pls my phone mistakenly published an article Mim Lake which I was working on.

I have now done it fully but you have unfortunately moved it to Draft.

Kindly review and move it to Main Space for me. Thanks. Boadu Emma (talk) 12:33, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Boadu Emma, Hi we'll have to wait until an administrator deletes this to make room for that title in the main space - should only be a couple of hours at most, I'll check back later this afternoon JW 1961 ^Talk 14:40, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Boadu Emma I see that an AfC reviewer has tagged the draft as under review, it is probably best for relatively new editors to let their articles go through this process rather than having the article show up on page cuartion unready (as this one did this morning) and liable to be deleted or sent to draft - in the meantime a couple of things you could do to improve the draft is see the tool REFILL at (this page) to convert the references from bare urls to full citations. Also, it is not necessary to have so many references for one sentence (see WP:REFBOMB - one or two good references to reliable sources will prove what you are saying (see WP:RS) thank you for your contributions JW 1961 ^Talk 17:16, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Page mover granted

Hello, Joseywales1961. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

• Wikipedia:Requested moves
• Category:Requested moves, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Cabayi (talk) 16:23, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Cabayi, Thank you very much JW 1961 ^Talk 16:30, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Mim lake

Pls the Mim lake is now showing red. So what do I do now?

Create it again and resubmit? Boadu Emma (talk) 17:49, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Boadu Emma, At the top of the draft page you will see Read, Edit, View History, Page etc etc, you can click on the "Page" and then on "Move" in the drop down menu you will see "Draft" and you can change that and select (article) - Make sure you have cleaned up the page and comments and references before moving it back as it will go straight on to New Page Patrol where those errors will be noticed. Happy editing JW 1961 ^Talk 18:06, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

please don't delete my Page sir/Ma I am a musical artist and I'll love people to get to know me more on Wikipedia. I have a Google knowledge pannel already Mizzy banks (talk) 20:28, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Mizzy banks, Hi, I will not have the final say on whether it is deleted - that will be for an admistrator to decide, but at the moment the article is unsourced and doesn't establish notability so that won't help. Have a read of WP:BLP, WP:NMUSICIAN and WP:RS - those guidelines should let you know what should or should not be in an article. JW 1961 ^Talk 20:36, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion

The section which was copied is a passage which is taken directly from the 14th century contemporary source that was mentioned, and was identified as such by the use of quotation marks. I am not sure that there is any other way to use this passage. Best Regards,Grosseteste (talk) 15:29, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Grosseteste, Hi,this may help for future articles or re-creating deleted Wikipedia:Copyright assistance. Say it in your own words is probably best advice, if I recall this showed up as 97ish% copyvio, you can request a refund of the article material from the admin who deleted if you wish to re-work it in draft. Thanks for your contributions JW 1961 ^Talk 18:51, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Review Request

Hello sir, good morning from Ghana. Could you please review Sefwi Adabokrom for me?Boadu Emma (talk) 10:37, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Boadu Emma, Hi, I see this one is already reviewed by another reviewer. You don't have to ask for new pages to be reviewed when they are in the main space as all the reviewers see a list of articles as they are published and depending on whoever is online it should get reviewed within a couple of hours unless it is a problematic page. Thank you for you articles about Ghanaian places and keep up the good work! JW 1961 ^Talk 12:36, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks

Joseywales1961, thanks so much for your response.

Advice taken. Am most grateful for your encouragement.

Joseywales1961, Pls I want to see answers to few things. Whenever you get free time, try to respond.Boadu Emma (talk) 14:34, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

1. There's a template I have put on my user page. Actually I took it from someone's page and edited it. My question, is there a separate page where such templates are picked from ? Or it's the person's own work

2. When I put links as reference, admins usually remark that it's bare refrencing. In their correction, they change it to full citation. My question is, is there a special way of converting bare url refrencing to full citation?

Boadu Emma, Hi, the template on your user page looks like one someone would have made themselves - If you take a look at Wikipedia:Userboxes you might find some decorations you like - usually if I see something I like I copy it!

For bare references look at this tool - it will fix the bare urls for you :) JW 1961 ^Talk 14:36, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Sorry to disturb you sir

Joseywales1961, My last two questions.Boadu Emma (talk) 14:34, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

3. Is there a special tool for calculating the height of a mountain?

4. After getting coordinates of two places, is there a tool to calculate the length or distance between them?

Hi I am not familiar with that, perhaps ask the question at Wikipedia:WikiProject Mountains or the WP:TEAHOUSE for the second one try Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates - here's a tip - if you look at a similar article see on the talk page what wiki project the article belongs to and if you join or look at the project you will get loads of help from editors who are very familiar with the topic - have a great Sunday JW 1961 ^Talk 14:43, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

It is good to ask questions when you are starting, it shows you are trying to do the correct thing - Thank you JW 1961 ^Talk 14:51, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Joseywales1961,I can't find words to thank you more!

Am so much grateful sir. I appreciate your time and directions. I will follow your advice accordinglyBoadu Emma (talk) 14:55, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Joseywales1961, When I saw it reviewed, I decided to delete the post in order not to make you waste time upon your return online.

Archives

Sir Joseywales1961, is there any special tool for archiving old messages?Boadu Emma (talk) 07:06, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Boadu Emma Good afternoon, if you are good at techy computer things there are ways explained at Help:Archiving a talk page, I'm not so good at that sort of thing so I make a page in numerical order like User talk:Boadu Emma/Archive 1 and cut the conversation from the talk page and paste it into the archive page (I usually do this every couple of weeks). Have a great Sunday! JW 1961 ^Talk 11:02, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

New page

hi Jose, when will my new page will be posted and what's the procedure? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinul Fernando (talk • contribs) 18:46, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Vinul Fernando, Hi and welcome, this page will need some correction as the one reference I checked fails verification (see note "failed verification" on page Lal Fernando), pages are checked in no specific order but assuming all turns out ok the page would be patrolled within a few hours, this one will require a reviewer who speaks the Sri Lankan language to verify some of the references. Thank you for your contributions JW 1961 ^Talk 18:33, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Joseywales1961 Yes I saw it and I will correct it. Anyway, how can I find a reviewer as you said? Will it be found by Wikipedia automatically? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinul Fernando (talk • contribs) 19:38, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Vinul Fernando, You don't have to find anyone, all of the reviewers can see a list of new pages as they are made and one of them who is familiar with that kind of topic will pick it and review it. Best wishes JW 1961 ^Talk 19:03, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
