Did you know nominations/LIM-49 Nike Zeus
Could you please have a look at Template:Did you know nominations/LIM-49 Nike Zeus for me? I wound up going through the article and adding all the missing references. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:37, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
DYK date request hook needing approval
You are currently listed at Wikipedia:Did_you_know#DYK_participants as an actively involved administrator. Template:Did you know nominations/The Assembled Parties is a date request that needs to be reviewed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:54, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
DYK for Helmin Wiels
 | On 4 June 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Helmin Wiels, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that the recently assassinated Curaçaoan politician Helmin Wiels once said, "Dutch is a dead language, the same as Greek or Latin"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Helmin Wiels. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
Hello, please to defend consensus which was achieved in discussion in this article. Some users are fighting against it with no reason. Andrzej19 (talk) 06:39, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
- The consensus changed (and with a lot more than 4 people this time). It's been agreed that the "spoiler" information is out of place in the cast section and should be instead included in the plot where it is expected to be found. The plot section has now been created and includes this information. Naapple (Talk) 08:59, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
VisualEditor
Hey Amberrock
I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

The article Mr. Ferguson Is Ill Today has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Non-notable TV episode. No reliable sources, only IMDB. Redirect to list reverted by IP as vandalism.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi, I was just informed by a bot that I didn't competed step three which is nomination date, but its there, February 2, 2014. What's wrong? Did the bot misread it?--Mishae (talk) 15:06, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

DYK
Hi, I received a message from a bot, which can be seen in my talk page indicating a problem in my DYK nomination of Template:Did you know nominations/Hugo Moutinho. But, unfortunately, I am unable to comprehend it out. Will you please help me? RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 09:00, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
I submitted my article (created on 18th June) for DYK on 21st June for the review. Today I received a message from a bot (DYKHousekeepingBot) that my submission of Template:Did you know nominations/United News of India at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; see step 3 of the nomination procedure. I think it completes all the criteria. Also there is no suggestion from any of the reviewer, so please can you have a look into the submission and inform me regarding the same.

Incomplete DYK nomination
I'm a new contributor to Wikipedia. At the suggestion of another user, I recently nominated a new article I created about Polish resistance fighter Antoni Koper for DYK. Apparently, I failed to complete the nomination process. The bot alerted me to the incomplete nomination the very next day, but I was by then away from my desk for several days. Now, the article no longer qualifies as "new," having been created 29 August. May I nonetheless complete the nomination at this late date since I began it when the article still qualified for nomination? Or should I now withdraw it from nomination? Thank you for any advice you can offer. Malcom Gregory Scott (talk) 03:52, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Garage rock article
Hey, I've been working on a big expansion of the Garage rock article over the last few months, and it just went GA. So, I nominated it for DYK and was wondering if its prospects would look good for DYK? Garagepunk66 (talk) 02:51, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
Film articles
Hi. There's no minimum size an article has to be, so I've reverted your redirects. Thanks. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 08:12, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm not completely sure I agree with those reverts. I was working in the spirit of WP:1S. Of course that's no rule, but these articles provided barely any information at all. Certainly nothing which couldn't be displayed in the filmography section of the director. —♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 13:24, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

you deleted my page and that was mean — Preceding unsigned comment added by GossipHawk (talk • contribs) 18:01, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- It wasn't mean. It was not even meant to be a personal slight, or even a slight in general. I'm sorry if it did come across that way. However: your article violated the criteria for inclusion on the enclyclopedia, so I removed the article. Please read WP:HOAX for relevant rules regarding the speedy deletion of Gossip Hawk.—♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 18:06, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello,
Re: Nadey Hakim page. This is a picture i have the copyright to. Why do you keep deleting it? Many thanks, Manuque — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manuque (talk • contribs) 18:59, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- Hello Amberrock! Manuque visited us in IRC and was asking questions about this. Is there something I'm missing? Should Manuque be following a different process for uploading the image? My apologies if I'm missing something silly, I'm not that familiar dealing with images. Thanks for your time! Chrisw80 (talk) 19:38, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- If @Manuque: really does own the copyright to that image then there is of course nothing wrong with him adding it to the article. The very vague discription on the Commons coupled with the fact that this image is available elsewhere on the web (including in news articles) make it appear as if Hakim's photograph was just pulled from a Google Images search. My suggestion is that Manuque spends some effort to provide a more thorough description on the Commons file in order to make his claim to copyright appear much more genuine. As of right now (and you will probably agree with me) the whole ordeal looks quite suspicious. —♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 01:42, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
