San Francisco Street Artists Program Article is a History Piece, and not a News Release or a Promotional Advertisement
- I can not fathom how anyone would see this as a news piece, when the substance of the article is really historical in nature. The article is about the history of the invention of a new branch of San Francisco's government, and like most of the articles that I create, it is primarily focused on history.
- Please read the original release of the article of 9 February 2014 [ https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Street_Artists_Program_of_San_Francisco&oldid=594692426 ]. You can see that it is populated with an enormous amount of references to newspaper articles that span 40 years, which I have researched at the San Francisco Public Library.
- Once again, history is the substance of the topic and its original form shows that it is tightly sourced to historic facts from newspaper articles. If it was really promotional in nature, then the majority of its text would be without referenced sources. The abundance of sourced references guarantees the essential neutrality of this history piece. The San Francisco Street Artists Program is a public municipal arts program, not unlike the public market in Seattle called Pike's Place. Please read Pike's Place article, and tell me how it is any different than this piece. Do you also think that the Pikes Place Market should also be deleted because it is a "news piece" or is "promotional" in nature? That would be absurd.
- The San Francisco Street Artists Program article is also about a part of San Francisco's government, in much the same way that the San Francisco Arts Commission article describes a branch of government. Do you also think that the emerging San Francisco Arts Commission article is a news piece should also be deleted or buried? Again, it would be a mistake to capriciously delete any article about a branch of government, or the history involved in the formation of a branch of government.
- When reading the article the way it was written on 9 February 2014, notice how it later received massive edits from an unregistered Wiki user whose IP address is 2601:9:1b00:629:20d:93ff:fe7d:f8c8. The many new entries of the name "Bill Clark" are by Bill Clark himself, and his edits are obviously self aggrandizing, and almost always without sources. He is an obsessive individual with no experience with Wikipedia, no interest in sourcing his statements, and should really be banned from the article. Wikipedia should consider reverting the article back to its original state of 9 February 2014, and ban Bill Clark and other unregistered Wiki users from screwing up the piece any further. If Bill Clark is allowed to continue to anonymously make edits from various IP addresses, then this article will be a non-stop Edit War which will only fatigue the sincere contributors of Wikipedia, and enable the destruction of a historic record.
- I created this article because I witnessed an extraordinary sequence of unlikely political events which shaped a new and innovative branch of municipal government, and not because I need to advertise or promote the San Francisco Street Artist Program itself. At present, I am in no way affiliated with the San Francisco Street artist program, nor do I profit in any way by its existence. Do the right thing and let the facts of history remain in the annals of Wikipedia, and not be discarded by hasty and subjective judgement.
- Also, to condense the article would be a big mistake. When examining history, we need to see the complete sequencing of events in order to truly understand a phenomena and its causes. Would we really see an advantage in condensing the World War I article? I think not. When it comes to history, more information is better than too little information.

Yoninah, I was wondering whether you were planning to come back to finish this review. Oreo Priest seems to be maintaining that it has enough info, and won't be expanded; whether you disagree (and DYK rules do note that articles that don't deal adequately with the topic—WP:DYKSG#D7—can be rejected) at this point or not, it's probably time to finish up the review.
If you aren't planning on returning, I'll add the "review again" icon to get someone else in. Please let me know (or post to the template, which I will see). Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:13, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Request for Two Deletions in the Street Artists Program of San Francisco article
Yoninah, I registered as William J. Clark to put an end to Mr. Carroll's nonsense that I am refusing to register with Wikipedia in order to post under a number of differing anonymous IP addresses.
Also, on the talk page for the Street Artists Program of San Francisco article I cited MANY news articles supporting my assertion that the one source cited by Mr. Carroll was in error when it stated CAO Thomas Mellon was given the authority to run the original SF Street Artists Program in March, 1972. I would appreciate it if you would check the sources I cited so that the incorrect statement about CAO Mellon running the original SF Street Artists Program can be deleted from the article as soon as possible.
On the talk page, I also quoted directly from the source cited by Mr. Carroll regarding Joy McCoskey's statement showing her support for the midnight to 6 AM rule in order to show that what Mr. Carroll wrote was inaccurate and misleading and that Ms. McCoskey's statement was tangential and inconsequential to the history of the SF Street Artists Program. Therefore, it should be deleted from the article.
I would appreciate it if you would read what I wrote on the talk page and please honor my request.
BTW, The SF Street Artists Program is NOT a new branch of government. It's part of the Executive branch.

Rabbi Eliyahu Ben-Chaim
You left a comment on his talk page stating you think Rabbi Ben-Chaim is the same one who was arrested for money laundering. That is simply not true, as the convicted R' Eliyahu Ben Chaim is currently sitting in jail and not delivering regular lectures in Yeshiva University. If you even cared to google him and compare the pictures in the press articles and here on Wikipedia you'd immediately realize that they are not the same person. They don't even spell their names the same way. The convict spells it "Eliahu Ben Haim," and this one spells it "Eliyahu Ben-Chaim." See a Picture of the other one here.

Re: Prep1
The lack of American hooks is more semi-intentional than intentional. We have been seeing a shortage of reviewed and approved hooks for over a week and as a result there is a very limited selection from which to build prep sets. I also prefer to avoid running hooks with a strong geographical association in the middle of the night. Assuming no new delays in the DYK process, prep 1 will appear on the main page at 02:35 EDT (23:35 PDT). It is the combination of the Wally Pipp hook running in the middle of the night and it's potential as a lead hook that prompted me to avoid it's use. The Nancy Kelsey(Template:Did you know nominations/Nancy Kelsey) was also considered, but with her clear association with the U.S. Pacific coast it was also a poor fit for the set.
I have swapped the Rezan Zuğurlu hook that was in Prep 1 with the Lyndsie Holland that was in Prep 2. This should resolve your concerns about two Turkish hooks in a single set. April 25 is Anzac Day, so there is not much I can do about the clusters of Australian hooks in both Prep 4 and Prep 1. --Allen3 talk 16:03, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
Reverted edits to Noah Weinberg page
Do you not agree that Noah Weinberg was a Jewish apologist? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yaakovaryeh (talk • contribs) 06:45, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
- Definition of apologist:
- "a person who defends or supports something (such as a religion, cause, or organization) that is being criticized or attacked by other people."
- www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/apologist
- "Apologetics (from Greek ἀπολογία, "speaking in defense") is the discipline of defending a position (often religious) through the systematic use of information. Early Christian writers (c. 120–220) who defended their faith against critics and recommended their faith to outsiders were called apologists.[1]"
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apologetics#Judaism
- This is something that Rabbi Noach Weinberg was heavily involved in:
- Rabbi wineberg launched and developed Aish HaTorah's Discovery Seminar which "Draws audiences into a fascinating and rigorously intellectual means of testing the rational basis for belief in Judaism. Highlights of this segment include "Hidden Codes of the Torah," which demonstrates the startling results of high speed computer analysis of the letters of the Torah.
- A variety of original workshops round out the seminar, exploding the myth that Judaism is anti-pleasure...
- Discovery's presenters, a team comprised of physicists, mathematicians, lawyers, doctors, psychologists and professors..."
- http://www.aish.com/dis/Aish_HaTorahs_Discovery_Seminar.html
- &
- "Many of today's campaigns to bring observant Jews to temple try appealing to the heart, portraying Judaism as offering spiritual fulfillment and a sense of belonging. But Discovery's crusaders against assimilation are taking a different tack – appealing to the intellect..."
- http://www.aish.com/ai/bn/sp/96792484.html
- He also gave several influential lectures on "7 classical categories of evidence of both His [Gods] existence and His [Gods] speaking directly to the Jewish Nation on Mount Sinai":

You asked,
- "Would you call "The Star-Spangled Banner": "The Banner"?"
Yes, I would, if I was writing an article comparing "The Star-Spangled Banner" with "The Star-Spangled Sky", and the titles had to be used again and again in short order. Those titles differ by only one word, just as do "Onward, Christian Soldiers" and "Onward, Christian Pilgrims", whose names came up repeatedly in that one paragraph. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 21:19, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

I just "blessed" a hook for a long-standing DYK if you want to promote something that doesn't have an image: [Template:Did you know nominations/Natalia Poklonskaya ]. Montanabw(talk) 16:32, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for June 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Victor Espinoza, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Hidalgo and City of Hope (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

DYK for Jean D'Costa
On 4 June 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jean D'Costa, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Jean D'Costa's novels for children have narrative in Standard English and dialogue in Jamaican Creole? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jean D'Costa. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), 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. |
DYK Prince Oana
Can't the image of Prince Oana be used in DYK notice? I mean I don't mind it being used for another day as long as the picture is shown on the DYK post. Thanks.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:23, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- When will there be a spot so the DYK can include the image? I notice prep area 2 is open.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 07:44, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
When you prep an area for the future can you promote Template:Did you know nominations/Jonah Kapena with the portrait of Kīnaʻu? I really want this picture be on the DYK hook more than the one above. Thanks. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 20:08, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
Another World Cup DYK
Thank you for reviewing the Stan's World Cup Song DYK. I would like to ask if you might consider taking a look at another World Cup song related DYK I have made please? Template:Did you know nominations/Don't Mention the World Cup is the nomination if you are interested. Thanks. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:31, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- I don't mind which. Maybe 14 June for England's first game is probably better. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 22:54, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Heads up
Hi Yoninah, thanks for the promotion of 1973 CECAFA Cup. However, I suspect this was an error, you commented on the nom that the review wasn't complete, and didn't close the discussion. It was added with this edit. As the nominator, you have my full blessing to take it out until the review is complete (and my QPQ). (As a note, I checked all the other items in that prep and they were promoted fine.) Thanks, Matty.007 18:00, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
PONY!
Pony!
Congratulations! For your help with California Chrome, you have received a pony! Ponies are cute, intelligent, cuddly, friendly (most of the time, though with notable exceptions), promote good will, encourage patience, and enjoy carrots. Treat your pony with respect and he will be your faithful friend! Montanabw(talk) 06:52, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Request
Hi Yoninah: You would seem to be the perfect editor for this. As you may know the result at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ultra-Orthodox Jews (Social Group) was to Merge any relevant content from the Ultra-Orthodox Jews (Social Group) article into the Haredi Judaism article because the former is deemed to be a duplicate topic of the latter. Once all the relevant material has been merged, then the Ultra-Orthodox Jews (Social Group) article should only be a Redirect page into the Haredi Judaism article. Thanks in advance for your help with this! Sincerely, IZAK (talk) 03:56, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you so much Yoninah, you have done an amazing job! Sincerely, IZAK (talk) 20:41, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the DYK review
Thanks for the review of Jesús de Santa Bárbara, Yoninah. I know it's not the most exciting article in the world, but I think it's worth having and is interesting geographically. In the review, you wrote "A nice job on a neighborhood article." Little statements like that go a long way in encouraging editors to keep working, so thanks for that. Those kinds of statements keep people going. It's appreciated! Mvblair (talk) 12:06, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. You mustn't take me too seriously. x Belle (talk) 17:39, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
Hello, When processing this nomination you used a hook I had explicitly rejected in my review of the DYK. I have replaced it at Template:Did you know/Preparation area 1 with the one I accepted. Nick-D (talk) 10:12, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
DYK next steps
Hi. Thanks for commenting on my two DYK nominations: Hahalis Welfare Society and Gombe Chimpanzee War. These were my first DYK nominations and I'm not sure what the process is next. Do I close the debate and move the templates to the prep area? Should I wait for other editors to comment? The DYK instructions aren't very clear to me about what happens next and who does it.
And on a side note, thanks for the page number referencing at Hahalis Welfare Society. I didn't know about that method of making notes, but I'll be using it in the future. PaintedCarpet (talk) 16:58, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
- Gotcha, thanks. Just didn't want the next step to be mine and have me not knowing what to do. Guess I'll look over my island lists and see which ones don't yet have articles... PaintedCarpet (talk) 18:28, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Oops
You tagged the Prep area 4 while I was already editing it. Sorry about that. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:03, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Template:Did you know nominations/Lucy Li date request
I see that you took care of the Template:Did you know nominations/Lucy Li date request. The goal was to have this on the main page during the 2014 U.S. Women's Open Golf Championship, which means that hook should really be in Template:Did you know/Preparation area 2 rather than Template:Did you know/Preparation area 1.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:47, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
- I see several of the recent updates have been manual. I guess it is actually hard to say which slot this should be in.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:55, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the effort. I understand that it is hard to predict when it will appear since we are in a manual update period.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:59, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
- Hm. Now that the current set has been on the main page for 13 hours, maybe we should move this back from 2 to 1.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:45, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

You might want to look at...
Are you the one who promoted The Friggs hook and changed a word from "appeared" to "featured"? That would have been OK, if it was reworded "was featured". I believe you are correct that a song doesn't appear, but is featured. But as it is now, it looks like a verb is missing. Or am I not reading that correctly? — Maile (talk) 22:00, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for helping with this. I hope it goes through. I was beginning to despair! Btw, do you know where we could add on Sidney Poitier's page that he swore her in? Not sure if it would go in the diplomatic or personal section.Zigzig20s (talk) 23:08, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for adding it to his page. Now I just hope the new DYK will go through quickly so that I don't have to think about it again. What an inconvenience.Zigzig20s (talk) 12:44, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

DYK for Huysman Gallery
On 26 June 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Huysman Gallery, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that the Huysman Gallery of Los Angeles closed after less than a year due to a controversial poster for its War Babies exhibition? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Huysman Gallery. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), 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. |
Saw the DYK somewhere. I don't think it is paraphrasing so much as referencing everything in the article very closely, but feel free to "de-paraphrase" it, as long as it is still referenced...Zigzig20s (talk) 14:35, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, from memory, I think I even changed some of the order a bit. But obviously I drew from the sources. Do you just want more sources? Someone else in the DYK said that may be a problem for the article, not the DYK. It's long enough, referenced, and obviously like any other Wikipedia article, will need to be expanded. I leave you to work on it if you want.Zigzig20s (talk) 15:37, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
DYK followup
Hello! A couple of days ago you raised a concern at Template:Did you know nominations/Fiesta del Pacifico and I replied. Are you planning to follow up on that concern since it was your question? Or should the original reviewer do it, or what is the procedure? Thanks! --MelanieN (talk) 21:46, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
New article
Hi Yoninah, as a result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/EarthKosher Kosher Certification I realized that while there is a Category:Kosher food certification organizations with 18 entries so far, yet there is not an accompanying and related lead or main article that encompasses this important subject. A natural choice for a topic would be Kosher certification organizations because such agencies do not only supervise food. Is there any way you could look at the Hechsher and the Kashrut#Supervision and marketing that do deal with this topic but not in an all-encompassing manner. Thanks a lot and Shavua Tov!
