Arbitrarily0

Hello, Arbitrarily0! I recently edited a page on Tiger Muskellunge (a species of fish) because the image in the taxonomy section was of the wrong variety of muskie. The image I replaced it with is found in the same exact book on the same exact page (Fish of Michigan Field Guide by Dave Bosanko, page 88). Even though both images are from the same source, I am not completely sure if I correctly followed copyright procedure. I'd like your opinion on this, but I am fairly certain this maneuver was fine due to the fact that multiple images from this book are circulating the Commons. Thanks!

Hi Benito! This is a good question! Your reasoning is great, but there is something strange: if both of those images come from that book, probably this website does not own that image either. If the book publisher owns those images, sadly we probably cannot use either one. I gave a look around different tiger muskie drawings online - I do not see any which are freely available. Perhaps the best route is to replace this drawing with a real-world picture. What do you think? Feel free to consider any pictures you yourself have taken. In general, let me know if you need a hand uploading your own shots! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 03:45, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the feedback - I will remove the existing drawing and see if i can find a decent real tiger muskellunge for the box, as that is the best option readily available. And thanks for the help offer, but as long as I follow copyright rules, I think I'll be in the clear! Thanks again! Benito 21:58, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Sounds great! Keep in touch, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 19:58, 4 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

When I go to Zakarid Armenia I reach the correct article, and if I click on its talk page tab I get to it correctly, but when I click back to the article I instead am redirected to Zakarids-Mkhargrzeli, which in turn has its own talk page. I do not know how to fix this. Can you fix it, since you might have been inadvertently responsible for creating it (you made a redirect back in 2011). Each article has different content and I think each needs to exist (one deals with the territory and its history, the other deals with the history and origin of the dynasty that ruled that territory).

Salutations, Arbitrarily0! I hope you are doing well.

I'm working on what has become (due to sheer length) a series of articles about the history of Texas A&M University–Commerce, currently in my userspace, so I'm hoping you could split and merge a few page histories for me (I had initially started writing this as one article). The source in each case is User:Michael Barera/sandbox/History of Texas A&M University–Commerce, and the three target pages are as follows (with the inclusive revisions to be moved noted in parentheses):

1. User:Michael Barera/sandbox/History of East Texas Normal College (from here to here, inclusive)
2. User:Michael Barera/sandbox/History of East Texas State Normal College (from here to here, inclusive)
3. User:Michael Barera/sandbox/History of East Texas State Teachers College (from here to here, inclusive)

Hopefully this all makes sense and isn't too much work for which to ask. If you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks in advance, and all the best!

Hi Arbitrarily0,

I saw that you also undid the revert on Arameans that was not the intention actually. There already took 2 RFC's place on the page with both RFC's going about the same thing and the consensus for it was reached. There was a rough consensus for a seperation between modern and ancient Arameans.

The page you undid was actually going about the modern people, while I was busy with Draft:The history of the Arameans

I hope you can revert the edit back and protect it so I can finish the page about the history of these people and put an end to all the discussions that have been going on for 6 months.

Best regards & stay safe! :) Kikkererwtje (talk) 21:04, 5 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello Kikkererwtje. Unfortunately I do not know much about the controversy, but it should be decided on the article's talk page.

Can you update the "result" statement to show that the page was moved to a different page, not the one in the original discussion? Seeing that redlink without the actual name is going to confuse people. Also, since page move requests wind up in various archives, consider making what would otherwise be a pointless/unnecessary redirect from Old St. Andrew's Episcopal Church (Jacksonville) to Old St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 15:26, 14 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi - would you be willing to elaborate on the policy-based grounds for your closure? I don't see any refutation of my nomination concerning the failure of the GNG - all the weak keep !votes were of the WP:ILIKEIT variety with no basis in sourcing. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 07:28, 19 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi Goldsztajn. Thanks for reaching out. I had misunderstood your comment to Bearian, where I thought you were agreeing with his personal policy. In terms of GNG, the hotel seems to pass ([1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]). These are articles about the hotel itself or the hotel staff, rather than events held the hotel (and I think that these articles, at least, are not press releases). But if you disagree even slightly, I will revert my close. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 08:34, 19 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the very quick reply and I appreciate you looking for alternate sourcing. Of the stories you cite, I had missed a number of these; 4, 5/6 (same story) in particular are clearly not churnalism and contribute to notability. For what it's worth, following your closure, I was able to find some sourcing regarding the original hotel [8] [9] [10] [11] (although this last one is self-published from the architects). I suspect a deeper trawl through the Ghanaian press would reveal more regarding the original structure (especially given the prior state ownership and subsequent privatisation). I think there's probably enough material for an article on the original structure. The resolution of the issue could be a move to Ambassador Hotel (Accra)? What do you think?

Hi, I saw the note and did not realise that there is a need to reply to the concerns.

@Kudpung: Hi, sorry for the lack of response, I saw the pings and did not realise I need to respond to it. To start off, I am a relatively new NPPer. I saw the merge suggestions and read the talk page on the proposed merger. Based on the discussion, I assumed with the various NPPers agreeing on the merge and not drafitying or afd, the article should be okay to mark as reviewed. I saw the notes and realise that I had made a poor judgement and archived the notes once I read them. I apologize for my poor judgement and promise to be more careful on blp requirements. I am on the NPP discord server (same username) if you like further clarifications. --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 13:31, 5 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Justanothersgwikieditor, Like many serious users, I refuse to use chat sites, but my talk page is always open for intelligent discussion. We all realise that I set a low entry bar for Nw Page Reviewers when I created the user group, but the call for qualified reviewers would never have obtained consensus had it been higher at the time. That's why we also now have excellent tutorials, an NPP school, and a probationary period for new reviewers which admins at WP:PERM can set at their discretion. There is also a vibrant talk page at WT:NPR where most questions also get answered, but at the moment most of the talk there is about the backlog crisis and what to do about it. There is no obligation to reply to other patrollers' messages - they are always made in good faith - but I was a bit taken aback by your instant reverting or archiving. You probably don't have the instinct yet that triggers suspicion of WP:SOCK and undeclared paid editing, but it will come. I suggest you find your feet with the low hanging fruit before you get involved in more complex issues. Being easier, it would also help very much with the current backlog. Keep up the good work and don't hesitate to ask for help. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:13, 5 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello FormalDude. I'm not sure what else to say, but I'll try. I'd probably have been willing to close the discussion as delete at the point which Sandstein relisted it, owing to the strength of the delete arguments. But since then, two experienced editors attested that the article meets GNG, and, moreover, it seemed the discussion had reached an impasse. Having now just searched for sources myself, I wish to stand by my assessment that the GNG attestations merit a no-consensus close. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 04:00, 10 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello there! I see that you're pretty active on Wiki, and you happen to be in the Biographies WikiProject! I was wondering if you could review Draft:Disappearance of Joshua Guimond for me? The page is to be used as both a biography, and an account on Joshua's disappearance (Note: I am getting further help on the page, soon), but it was reviewed almost 2 weeks ago, and the previous reviewer has yet to return to it. He cited that I didn't have enough citations within the page, and that issue has been fixed; The page now has ~30 citations, and counting, as the investigation into the case moves forward.

I hope to hear back from you! Thanks so much DylanJ10000 (talk) 05:53, 9 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi DylanJ10000. Peace. Since there is already a reviewer scheduled, how about we let him/her take a look first? Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 21:16, 9 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll be happy to wait a few more days, but it seems that they aren't going to be returning to the draft.

of this AfD discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gina Mastrogiacomo (2nd nomination)

Since you offer no details and no summary, I have questions. I am the AfD creator, by the way.

First off, I do not think you simply looked at the not-votes and counted 3 deletes, 3 keeps and one "weak keep". That said, how much weight did you assign to those keeps?

I would say that the first Keep should be discounted entirely, per my comment to that entry --> [12]. As for the other two (by 4meter4 and Banks Irk) they are also basically without substance, as per The Gnome's very thorough analysis. In short, they make claims that appears to be entirely taken out of thin air - that the article simply doesn't support.

Only the Weak Keep from Dflaw4 and the comment by DyInuge appears to be given in the spirit of our deletion policies. (Deathlibrarian too, but that's essentially a "Delete" not-vote)

But there was zero discussion around whether the article merits an exception from the "more than one" NACTOR rule.

I was surprised by your close. To me, the substantial and insightful feedback very heavily favored a delete. Therefore I would like you to elaborate on your decision - which not-votes did you put weight to and why?

Best regards, CapnZapp (talk) 15:01, 14 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello CapnZapp! I think both sides had arguments that were within the realm of a reasonable interpretation of policy. Some think certain acting roles are more significant than others; some think that GNG is met while others do not. No one's mind was changed as the discussion progressed. But if you still think I read the discussion wrong, please escalate this to WP:DRV. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 19:42, 14 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your friendly reply. Sure I can escalate, but my hope is that you appreciate me checking in with you before I do that. So - you talk about "both sides" and use "some" several times. But I was asking which (exact) editor argument you put weight upon. As I said, to me one side was very well-reasoned, while the other mostly just spouted baseless bluster. Can I assume you read, in detail, the very well-reasoned evisceration of these claims by The Gnome? How come this did not influence your decision?

Again, this is not personal, but a simple query. I am fully aware of the workload of you core Wikipedians, and I fully realize sometimes decisions are made quickly. I'm here to honestly ask you if you think you did a thorough job, because if you think you did, then I will simply trust you more than myself, and drop the issue. If on the other hand, say, you performed 1,234 various administrative duties the other night, you might welcome a review, and I'll be happy to start one. Hope you see what I'm getting at here, and keep doing great things for Wikipedia! CapnZapp (talk) 07:52, 15 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

I am grateful for your deferential and polite spirit. Yes, I have read the entire discussion, and I've looked it over each time you've asked about it. I still stand by my initial decision. I gave weight to all the arguments except (with all due respect) DRosenbach's. The Gnome's "delete" arguments are not incontestable, as is evidenced by another editor (Dylnuge) who, though !voting delete and hence unlikely to be biased against The Gnome, disagree[d] with The Gnome on two important points. "No consensus" does not mean that you (and Gnome) are wrong; it just means that not enough editors were so swayed, or that the hidden truth of the matter was not any more perspicuous to the closer than it was to half of the !voters. I trust that DRV will arrive at the same conclusion, although I very much welcome the opportunity to be humbled. Again, grateful for your civility, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 05:20, 17 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Oh! I see how! I misread your !vote, as agreeing with AjaxSmack. My apologies. Would you like me to reserve the closure, or should we just open a new discussion? Could you say why you opposed AjaxSmack's alternative? That might make things clearer. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 16:52, 20 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

The non-superfluous diacritics should remain in the article if not the title, in which case the spelling of the title should match the standardized Arabic used. In other words, the old title should continue to be used in the body of the article, only the title of the article should be simplified, in which case the y is better than the i (since that it was the standard transliterations prefer). I have no problem adding Ali Haidar Pasha as an alternative spelling in the opening. Srnec (talk) 17:46, 20 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Could you please reconsider your close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frederickson Fieldhouse? The arguments are unconvincing given WP:ROUTINE doesn’t apply to buildings and something doesn’t have to have “architectural significance” or whatever to be notable, it just needs significant coverage in multiple reliable sources.

Thanks for the update, Jerome Frank Disciple, and thank you for all your work there. It would probably good to get other editors involved as well. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 20:03, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I disagree with your assessment that there is a consensus in this discussion at all, rough or otherwise. The existence of disambiguation pages premised on WP:DABMENTION links has been discussed extensively, and there has never been a consensus to remove these. Doing so through individual AfDs effects an end-run around broader community decision-making processes, and since there are a substantial number of such pages, creates an inconstant patchwork within the encyclopedia. I would urge you to reverse this closure. BD2412 T 19:22, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thanks BD2412. About twice as many participants !voted delete over keep. Can you point me in the direction of past discussions on this topic? Even then, maybe it's best to allow this to go to DRV, so that the argument you just made can receive more attention. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 19:59, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

In connection with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Terry Pearce (2nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arthur Harley (2nd nomination), there was an exhaustive RfC at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages/Archive 43#RfC on change to MOS:DABMENTION, which resulted in no consensus for the rule applied to the current AfD. BD2412 T 20:25, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I am torn here, and would like more of your advice. If there's no consensus on the question, doesn't this mean that AfD's need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis? Again, I'm also fine with bringing this to DRV, in order to attract attention to the fact that we very much need a general solution to this issue. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 07:03, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

How do we evaluate on a case-by-case basis AfDs where the outcome turns on the exact same policy issue? The sole question is whether a disambiguation page can exist where all of the listings are WP:DABMENTION items. It should not be the case that following the resolution of several discussions to the outcome that this is permissible, we end up with one indistinguishable case where it is impermissible. BD2412 T 15:22, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Some of the !voters, especially User:4meter4, argued that this was a distinguishable case. As User:No such user wrote, WP:DABMENTION says that on dab pages we may use links to articles that only mention the subject, but it does not say that we have to keep dab pages that only contain such entries, and I think User:4meter4 expanded this argument persuasively. I am inclined to agree with you, BD2412, but many other editors will not be so inclined, so please take this to DRV so we can have a more authoritative ruling than either of us can produce. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 16:28, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

The time it would take to work this through DRV is less than the time it would take me to create articles on Charles Francis Lott and Charles Fayette Lott, justifying recreation of the disambiguation page as containing new content. BD2412 T 18:20, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

An excellent solution. Thank you, BD2412. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 18:25, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I am not thrilled with this solution. BD2412 has reverted the removal of inappropriate items at the dab page at Charles Lott. I have no time to deal with WP:POINTY behavior, WP:Wikilawyering, and essentially behavior which has countermanded and worked an end around the AFD discussion without following the spirit of the close and community consensus. This to my mind is disrespectful to the community who participated in the AFD. I personally think it deserves a temporary block of editing privileges.4meter4 (talk) 20:06, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I am frankly amazed that you consider literally building the encyclopedia to be blockworthy. I have created two articles, with substantial sources (the California Senate member was never even mentioned on the disambiguation page before), and a draft for the actor, all subjects who share this name. If anyone should be subject to sanction, it is User:4meter4, who appears to have initiated an AfD for an article almost immediately after its creation solely because the name of the subject happens to be one for a disambiguation page he prefers not to exist. BD2412 T 20:12, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

@BD2412 First, I haver no objection to the existence of the dab page at this point in time. The California judge and senator clearly passes WP:NPOL and deserves an article. Good work, although having more than one source would be better. Second, I do have a problem with the restoration of items on the dab page that do not meet the criteria for inclusion for a dab page as was articulated in the AFD and its closing by Arbitrarily0 at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles Lott. The fact that you reverted the changes I made to the dab page in line with that closing seems to me that you did not respect the language of that close. Creating more articles does not solve the inherent problems articulated at the AFD about the other entries on that list. Unilaterally overturning a community consensus from an AFD is not ok, and is disruptive editing. Lastly, the fact that I nominated Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles Francis Lott for deletion was based on the sourcing at the time of creation and a cursory source check in JSTOR, EBSCOE, my university library search engine, and google books which took 15 minutes. I did follow WP:BEFORE and found nothing promising. I still think the subject is not notable.4meter4 (talk) 20:26, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

The AfD close had and has no bearing on what topics might be included on a disambiguation page restored with additional subjects. It serves the reader to know what subjects exist in some respect in the encyclopedia that have this name, and it serves the reader to know which ones do not have articles of their own. It is entirely plausible that a reader could come to Wikipedia looking for information on the actor, who can be seen in multiple films and has been mentioned in some sources. It is entirely plausible that a reader could come to Wikipedia looking for information on the basketball player, who was surely noteworthy in connection with their team for that season. BD2412 T 20:32, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

@BD2412 At this point I am going to let Arbitrarily0 work this out as the closing admin. It's clear you aren't going to be open to listening or working with me in a productive or civil fashion. @Arbitrarily0 I would request that you would up hold parts of the close by removing content at Charles Lott where the articles themselves do not discuss the individuals (both real or fictional) in any detail. For the most part, that would be all of the entries without an existing article. We should not be navigating readers to pages where there is only a passing mention per the spirit of the policies at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages. If you are not comfortable with doing that, I would suggest putting this up for discussion at WP:WikiProject Disambiguation for active project members to give input. I would imagine, based on my experience, that they would agree that these are inappropriate entries for a dab page under our policies for those kinds of pages. Best.4meter4 (talk) 20:56, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I agree that most of the mentions of "Charles Lott" in the associated articles do not meet WP:DABMENTION, and have removed them. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 21:16, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

You have removed things that are virtually always included in disambiguation pages, e.g., acting credits. This does a disservice to readers. I will indeed be raising this at the WikiProject. BD2412 T 21:34, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thanks for being the closer for this RM discussion. Following the close, an IP editor made a comment on the talk page, claiming to be Charlie Handsome himself and urging that the move be undone. I replied asking for a Twitter post as confirmation, which happened a couple of days later here [13]. WP:STAGENAME asks us to use the most common name (not necessarily the birth name.) I'll also note that using liner notes/producer credits from albums as a source isn't ideal for this purpose, they often use birth names for proper legal attribution. For example, the 1998 track One is credited to Trevor Smith, Erica Wright, Dana Stinson, and Stevland Morris; but their articles are quite correctly at Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu, Rockwilder, and Stevie Wonder. For these reasons, I'm asking that the close be reconsidered. 162 etc. (talk) 04:45, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi Arbitrarily0! I have noticed your move of the page Poso Pesisir people to Poso Pesisir. This move is problematic in two ways: a) the notability of the topic of the article still needs to be verified, since the only sources that might support the existence of the Poso Pesisir (or Coastal Poso) people as a distinct ethnic group are dead links and b) "Poso Pesisir" actually is a region and administrative district of the Poso Regency. Before the move, it was a red link, but if anything, the district is the primary topic, while "Poso Pesisir people" is derived from it (in the best case as an ethnonym, but in the worst case just as a demonym i.e. the population of the district). I even might bring it to AfD. Austronesier (talk) 20:28, 26 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Anton Charles Pegis), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

Hey, I'd like to challenge the no consensus close at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Simfy. The only delete !vote was by a user blocked as a sock ~ A412 ^talk! 04:34, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello there. In these cases I usually defer to the determination of the user who last relisted the discussion: since no one commented after the relist, since the relister evidently did not believe there to be a consensus, and since there was not a strong reason to believe that the relister was in error (Deltaspace42, after all, had !voted delete), I closed the discussion as no consensus.

On 3 February 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 40 Bank Street, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that 40 Bank Street (pictured), a skyscraper in London, looks like two different buildings fused into one?

With the only Delete !vote there - the nom - changing to "Keep", I saw no reason to keep the AfD going for another week. Didn't mean to overrule your relisting; hope that makes sense. Owen× ☎ 13:30, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks OwenX, you're right. I overlooked the nominator's retraction. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 15:54, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I am currently working on Draft:TESCREAL, to return it to Wikipedia, and have it mostly finished. I saw it had been deleted by consensus about a year ago due to WP:N. Since then, many sources have come out, enough that I was able to make a draft of the original page, and restructure accordingly.

I was trying to go through an undeletion request for TESCREAL and was told to submit the draft and contact the admin who finished the AfD to see if its possible to relink everything back together. [14]

Thank you User:Sawerchessread (talk) 21:11, 30 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello. I am satisfied with the draft, and have moved it over to TESCREAL and merged the histories. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 10:44, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
