British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors

David Ferguson leads to a disambiguation page. There are two David Ferguson who look promising: David R. Ferguson, the American record producer, and I would assume he wouldn't be part of this organization due to his nationality; and David Ferguson (impresario), who might be the one as he is "international" but seems to mainly spend his time in Northern California. If it isn't one of those two, then there isn't currently an article for your link to whomever that is supposed to be. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:33, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Therein lies the rub, eh? It appeared to me that the David Ferguson who gained the award would therefore be notable, but that there doesn't appear to be an article for him yet. We need somebody familiar with the subject matter, or who takes on the job of researching him, to make the appropriate correction. At the time, I was disambiguating a bunch of links to David Ferguson, many of which had to do with a Scottish geologist who also doesn't have an article. PKT(alk) 19:58, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Putting this on the talk page of the article. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 21:35, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: The Antisocial Manifesto: A Bipolar Perspective on Dissent from Society

Hello PKT. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of The Antisocial Manifesto: A Bipolar Perspective on Dissent from Society, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There is sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 04:23, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Netsilik School

Hello, and thanks for creating this article. It's been tagged for notability. high schools are nearly always found to be notable but only if they have reliable sources. Could you please look it over and see if you can add sources? Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 21:36, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Paris Métro Line 14 before 1976

Paris Métro Line 14 before 1976 and Paris Métro Line 14 have absolutely nothing in common, except the name. Regards, Freewol (talk) 13:18, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

OK, then remove the information from Paris Métro Line 14 and replace it with a brief sentence or two with a link to your new article. There's no need to have a separate article with the same information that's included elsewhere. PKT(alk) 13:27, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

I don't think it is urgent. The new article can be developed, it is not bound to keep the same information as the one in Paris Métro Line 14. I agree that most of the information around the line 14 before 1976 in this latter article should be removed though. Regards, Freewol (talk) 13:37, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Article Feedback deployment

Hey PKT; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :).

Peer review request

Hi PKT, I've initiated a peer review request for the List of historic schools of forestry article, and would appreciate your input on ways that it can be improved. Ultimately, I would like to nominate it for Featured List status. Please add any comments or suggestions at this link. Thank you & Kind regards, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 13:57, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Unref

{{Unref}} might not be the best tag for a page like National Biomedical Imaging Archive, because the listed website probably supports this kind of basic description. I've changed it to {{No footnotes}} for you. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:43, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

question

Hello PKT, I got a notice on my talk page that you reviewed an article I created, Hemorrhagic smallpox. Reviewed for what, exactly? Thanks. Malke 2010 (talk) 01:58, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

That's just a quick review to see whether each article looks like a valid subject (in other words, you didn't vandalize Wikipedia!), and to see if any articles should be tagged for issues like WP:BLP or not being in English, or a few other things. I also usually check to see that each article is assigned to at least one WikiProject. It's part of the New pages patrol. PKT(alk) 02:52, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. New pages patrol sounds interesting. I'm glad the article passed. Malke 2010 (talk) 17:56, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

1986

If you think this greatly changed, then I would prefer moving it to a history section rather than removing it outright. If, say, something was prominent in 1986 and was of a much lower stature in 2013, it was still prominent in 1986 Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 17:27, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

I could live with mentioning 1986 in a history section. It certainly doesn't belong in the lead, though. PKT(alk) 18:48, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Up the Pole(arm)

I've declined your hoax as it seems to exist, but with -ball in the name. I've moved it to the proper title, and retagged it A7 as it seems rather non-notable (their website claims it will be working fully next January...). Peridon (talk) 12:12, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

With respect, I think you've been duped. Why define the association without an article about the sport itself? Have a look at polearm. Finally, it's well and good to claim things like "recorded with the Florida Department of State's Division of Corporations on May 4, 2012", but it's unproven and irrelevant. PKT(alk) 12:21, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

I must admit that I found it hard to visualise the sport, but there seems to be a registered trademark, etc, so notability rather than hoax would strictly apply. Whichever, it'll go... Peridon (talk) 12:38, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

The Amazing Race Canada

Hello there. I see you reverted me without understanding why I made the first revert. On all Amazing Race season articles, the Results section does not include any links to any sort of article that may be about a contestant, or at least this should not be the case. Any and all articles that may have contestants as subjects are included in the Casting subsection under production, where Johnson and McLeod are already listed on the article.

Guild of Copy Editors July 2013 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter Participation: Out of 30 people who have signed up for this drive so far, 18 have participated. If you have signed up for the drive but have not yet participated, it isn't too late. If you haven't signed up for the drive, sign up now! Progress report: Thus far we have reduced the number of May/June 2012 articles to just 124 articles, so we're on the right track. Unfortunately, for the first time in GOCE history, the number of articles in the backlog has actually gone up during this drive. While all participants are currently doing a fine job, we just don't have as many of them as we have had in the past. We have over 500 editors on our mailing list, but only 18 editors who have done a copy edit for the drive. If you're receiving this newsletter, it's because you have an interest in copy editing. Join the drive! Even if you only copy edit one article, it helps. Imagine how much progress we could make if everyone chipped in just one article. – Your drive coordinators: Torchiest, Baffle gab1978, Jonesey95, and The Utahraptor. >>> Sign up now <<< To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

talk:Abbey Tavern Singers

Hi there, wanted to know your thought process in removing WikiProject Canada from Abbey Tavern Singers. Removing the US project I can understand, but the Singers achieved their greatest success in Canada, not Ireland, and had significant cultural impact there. Certainly it is low priority for Canada, but I am curious as to why you think it should be moved altogether. Cheers! 78.26 (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 14:38, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Being Canadian, I would dispute the claim that the song had "significant cultural impact" here, but regardless of that; the Beatles, Elvis Presley and Psy would be included in WPCanada by your reasoning. That a musical artist had a hit in any particular country isn't a reason for including them in that country's WikiProject, unless they re-located to that country. Compare the career & lives of the Abbey Tavern Singers to those of The Irish Rovers. PKT(alk) 15:10, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I think you are correct regarding impact, perhaps more accurate would be "significant temporary impact." The Irish Rovers had a truly international career, while the Abbey Tavern Singers were far better known in Canada than anywhere else, including Ireland. Given how much of the article and sources are related to Canada, I'm not entirely sure it isn't within the scope, but I'll defer to those actually involved in the Project. All the best, 78.26 (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 15:39, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Opting in to VisualEditor

As you may know, VisualEditor ("Edit ^beta") is currently available on the English Wikipedia only for registered editors who choose to enable it. Since you have made 50 or more edits with VisualEditor this year, I want to make sure that you know that you can enable VisualEditor (if you haven't already done so) by going to your preferences and choosing the item, "MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable". This will give you the option of using VisualEditor on articles and userpages when you want to, and give you the opportunity to spot changes in the interface and suggest improvements. We value your feedback, whether positive or negative, about using VisualEditor, at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:27, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Removal of STM bus route pages

Hello PKT,

I've been working a bit on the page with STM bus routes and the navbox. I've noticed that many local buses have hyperlinks to articles, but they all come back to the page [List of Société de transport de Montréal bus routes]. After looking deeper into it, I've seen that you've deleted all of the bus route pages and installed the redirects. This renders most of the navbox useless.

Why did you do this? You didn't leave comments on your edits! Jurjenb (talk) 14:40, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Lack of notability. Unless there's something notable about the route itself, having articles for most bus routes is overkill. There was a discussion about it on the Canadian Wikipedians' notice board, where the point was made that "For comparison purposes, note that a list is used for Vancouver area buses, TTC buses and GO buses." PKT(alk) 00:43, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out. Would you mind thinking along what could be a good solution for the navbox? (I've also started a section on the talk page.) Jurjenb (talk) 16:15, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:33, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

AFD for contested prod

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Amelia Kroger Main Street Marketplace 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/Amelia Kroger Main Street Marketplace 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.

You nominated the article for PROD, and I endorsed it afterwards. An IP removed the PROD and I listed it at AfD. I notified the original author and the IP, so I thought you might be interested in the AfD as well. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:38, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Halton District School Board

You don't have to revert to Category:Burlington, Ontario, there is category called Category:Education in Burlington, Ontario it should be replaced with a education category to fit the Halton District School Board article, rather than a city category. So I will double categorize two education categories. Education in Halton and Education in Burlington categories both are double categorize for now. Steam5 (talk) 01:00, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

I almost forgot, the Halton District School Board head office is in Burlington, Ontario so it would replace with a city category (Burlington, Ontario) into another category (Education in Burlington, Ontario). Steam5 (talk) 01:05, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
