Why

I have been working on that for hours. What did I do wrong? Everything is factual. Allen High School is not 10-12. Jdh1973 (talk) 00:50, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Your most recent edit appeared very likely to be vandalism (e.g. "...this was more than the other very largest...") so I undid all your edits. I see now that some of your edits do appear to be factual, so I assume that was a mistake. You can go ahead and restore the page to your second to last edit and keep working on the page if you'd like. PopoDameron (talk) 00:54, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

why did you delete my edits about a new dimension of chills? i don't understand the reason

can you explain me? 151.53.209.48 (talk) 21:18, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Your edits appeared to be based on your original research, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. There were no sources to any of your edits. If you can find references to back up your edits, you can add them and republish your edits. PopoDameron (talk) 11:15, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Rajwa Al Saif (August 31)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:  The comment the reviewer left was: Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.
Robert McClenon (talk) 07:29, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
Hi @Robert McClenon. That doesn't seem very fair to me considering my draft has been waiting for review for about two weeks now, and this new article was just made yesterday. My article is clearly better sourced and contains all that this one does and more, so I think it would make more sense to speedily delete the current article under WP:G6 and move the draft to the main space instead. Can an admin verify if that would be possible? I think the user who created the article had a responsibility to check for existing drafts of the article. PopoDameron (talk) 12:41, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
  • G6 is for uncontroversial technical and housekeeping moves. Your suggestion does not fall into this category. First, you've been around a while and you know, or should know, that unless you have an editing restriction to the contrary, you don't have to use the AFC process as an established user. You could have created this article from scratch just as Avicenno did. Second, we're not going to delete a perfectly acceptable, if sparse, article and substitute yours because your feelings are somehow hurt that you didn't get into the mainspace first. There isn't an admin here who's going to do that. This doesn't require a history merge. Take your references and content, edit them into the existing article, and move on. Katietalk 14:22, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
    @KrakatoaKatie: All right, I see what you're saying. At the time when I made the article I was definitely less established and didn't know I could just make an article from scratch instead of a draft, and then didn't think I would be allowed to move it from the draft space even when I was sure I demonstrated notability. Anyway, thanks for the explanation, and I'll get to working on the main article now. PopoDameron (talk) 14:37, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
    Thank you, User:KrakatoaKatie, for clarifying my comment, "Please combine article and draft". By the way, I have removed the G7 tag from the draft, but have replaced the content of the draft with a redirect to the article. As Katie said, this was an "ordinary" merge that doesn't require a history merge. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:42, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
    Cool, thanks for that @Robert McClenon, and sorry for not agreeing with your decision initially by the way. PopoDameron (talk) 16:52, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

re speedy deletion of Builder Lynx

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... the subject is "notable" because it is a small company that competes with several other large ones Sage, Yardi, Builder Software Tools, Lasso, NEWSTAR Constellation and it "describes its subject from a neutral point of view" as described in Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion section G11 Could you please clarify which language on the page you find to be non-neutral? Mucm (talk) 18:45, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello. Your article lacked reliable sources and was otherwise written like an advertisement for the company. Take a look at WP:RS and WP:PROMO for more information. Thanks, PopoDameron (talk) 18:50, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi PopoDameron, with respect, WP:RS (Reliable Source) and WP:PROMO (Promotional) were not the reasons given for the proposed speedy deletion, it was Speedy Deletion section G11 "Unambiguous Advertising or Promotion". Can you please clarify which wording you found unambiguously promotional, or glowing, or even mildy positive?
Re: Reliable Sources, improving it in that way can be a goal for a page that deserves improvement, not speedy deletion.
Re: Promotional, that page lists the things that Wikipedia IS NOT, such as "Advocacy, propaganda, or recruitment, Opinion pieces, Scandal mongering, Self-promotion, Advertising, marketing or public relations"
Can you clarify which sentences, or words in the deleted page were propaganda, or scandal mongering, or such? Thank you. Mucm (talk) 19:25, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
WP:PROMO speaks directly to what WP:G11 considers for deletion. The article did not have reliable sources, and otherwise it was written listing the company's virtues, which is what an advert looks like. I personally no longer have access to the article, since it was deleted and I am not an administrator, but maybe @Athaenara can clarify this for you as they are the admin that performed the deletion and can go back to the article to cite specifics if necessary. PopoDameron (talk) 19:51, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
Again with respect, I would appreciate understanding how you detect "listing the company's virtues" from a simple sentence listing the name of the company, the date and city it was established, and the industry in which it operates, and the products it offers. This describes the opening paragraph of every page on every organization. Mucm (talk) 20:32, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
As I mentioned, I no longer have access to the article, but I expressly remember it containing more than a single sentence. In any case, I think it would be best for you to wait for @Athaenara to reply since they have access to the article. I would also like to ask you if you have any direct relation to this company, such as being the owner, an employee, or having any other direct link. You would be required to report being paid or compensated in any form to edit per the Wikimedia terms of service. Thanks, PopoDameron (talk) 20:49, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply and I am sorry to take up your time. I'm just confused as to whether you just superficially reviewed it and suggested Speedy Deletion and assumed that the deleting editor would think it through, or Athaenara just superficially reviewed it and assumed that you had thought it through. And yes it contained a few other sentences, all equally neutral to the one I mentioned. Unless you can expressly remember some non-neutral words, perhaps you could withdraw your recommendation for Speedy Deletion. Re Terms of Service, yes I have read it years ago and again recently. I think you'd agree if you dug into them that my ~2 dozen edits going back to 2007 (albeit mostly minor), are good-faith contributions. Cheers. Mucm (talk) 22:15, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
@Mucm: The article could easily have been speedy deleted under CSD A7; there was zero claims of significance made in the article and it in no way meets WP:ORG (or even basic WP:GNG as written). Please don't recreate it in article space. If you feel it somehow does meet WP:ORG, then I strongly suggest you use WP:AfC to create it and have a reviewer move the article if approved for publishing in mainspace.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:24, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments. I, as a user, went looking for an article on this company and Wikipedia said one does not exist, do I want to create one? so I did. I read as many of the guidelines as I could but they seemed endless. I understood that Wikipedia is a work of the community so I was just writing a starting point that could be improved by others, clearly I should have used some sort of draft process first while the notability and references get fleshed out. In any case, I appreciate your suggestions, and it may be so that it could have been deleted by pointing to other reasons, but how can I fairly object to the Speedy Deletion if the actual reason given cannot be backed up -- which I have yet to see -- a word or phrase that is "unambiguous promotion", or "highlighting virtues", or in the least bit glowing, or even positive (or anything but neutral). I simply tried to write this as similarly as I could (but much shorter initially) to other organization pages, e.g. Kobo Inc., neutral information on place of organization, line of business, product, history, etc. I'm just trying to understand where the "unambiguously promotional" words were so I can avoid it in future articles.

Tagging pages for deletion

Hello, PopoDameron,

I'm concerned that you are tagging articles with clear notability for deletion. Please be sure you know the different Criteria for Speedy Deletion thoroughly and know when it is appropriate to use them. If you focus in on certain areas, like politics, be sure you sure the relevant notability guidelines well. Tagging pages for deletion is something that should only be done when you have a lot of experience actually editing articles, not just doing counter vandalism work. I just encourage to spend time becoming very familiar with the policy pages devoted to different forms of deletion.

If you ever have questions about deletion or notability, please bring them to the Teahouse where more experienced editors can offer some guidance. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 05:24, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

P.S. Since you are already using Twinkle (which is great), you should enable Twinkle to start up deletion logs for you so you can keep watch over pages you have tagged for deletion. Just look in your Twinkle Preferences. I've been editing here regularly since 2013 and I still maintain deletion logs for CSD, PROD and XFDs and I sometimes look them over and see where I might have misjudged an article. It's useful in improving as an editor. Liz Read! Talk! 05:28, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
Ah all right, thanks. That's a pretty useful feature. PopoDameron (talk) 05:31, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi Liz, thanks for the heads up. I see now that I definitely jumped the gun on that one, but I think I have now successfully tagged over a dozen articles for speedy deletion, and I do believe myself to be familiar with the criteria. I'm pretty sure this was my first mistake in this area. I could be forgetting another, but I generally think that my contributions in CSD have been a net positive. I totally could be wrong about that since as you know I'm pretty new here, but in any case I'll definitely be more careful in the future. Thanks again! PopoDameron (talk) 05:31, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Wing Chung

Hello, I undone your revert. I understand what you are saying about a consensus, however, a consensus isn't needed for material not sourced, which over half the list has been. Also, there is a procedure for how lists are suppose to be done, which was not known by myself not seemingly the other person on the talk page. Lists are suppose to have their own pages and be linked to. Presumably this is why the practitioners page was changed to this format as well, this also makes how lists are handled consistent within the page. Please post on the Wing Chun talk page if you have any other concerns on the format that lists within an article should take. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lists_within_articles — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bverji (talkcontribs) 03:19, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Would you like to WhatsApp me for sources?

Star Wars nerd give me your mobile number and I will forward you reffrences

@Mihalis52: Heh sorry that's not how it works. If you have reliable sources, check out WP:CITE to learn how to cite them in the article yourself. PopoDameron (talk) 04:46, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Would you like to WhatsApp Me for sources, it’s very rude to remove other peoples stuff with out first massaging then directly I don’t know how to add things WhatsApp Me and we can talk and you can go through things with me? Mihalis52 (talk) 04:52, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

@Mihalis52: Sorry I'm not giving you my number bud. If you want, you can read up about how to cite sources and do it yourself, or if not you can post about it on the article's talk page and people will help you out. PopoDameron (talk) 04:55, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Popo Dameron massage me and explain to me how to add and edit please and it would be kinder to massage a source first before deleting what they have contributed Mihalis52 (talk) 04:55, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

@Mihalis52: Have you tried reading WP:HOWCITE yet? If you want you can just send me a link to the source here, and I'll cite it for you if it's a reliable source. PopoDameron (talk) 05:10, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

My 23Sept edits on Sanskrit

You left a message on my talkpage that my 23 Sept 2022 edit on Sanskrit does not have reliable citation. My edit clearly cites a reputed source ThePrint (<ref name=veda1>[https://theprint.in/india/education/technical-regulator-asks-universities-colleges-to-recognise-admit-students-of-vedic-board/1138372/India Technical regulator asks universities, colleges to recognise & admit students of Vedic board], [[ThePrint]], 22 Sept 2022.</ref> 58.182.190.156 (talk) 21:14, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Prague Metro

Do you have any motivation as for why the constructive edits were deemed inconstructive, other than me not being an administrator? This structure hasn't been reverted in Germany, Italy and is used in your native country the US without problems. --Assimo23 (talk) 22:31, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

I left a message on your talk page about that, but the reason I reverted was that part of the definition of a metro is that it is underground, so it is rather redundant to specify that in addition, especially to the short description which should be as concise as possible. Are you acting with any kind of consensus? – Popo Dameron talk 22:33, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Julius Maddox

agree with your removal of the unofficial maddox lift citing source reliability. given that the lift was performed out of competition without any robust verification measures, do you reckon i'd be able to find a reliable source that recognizes the lifts? or would i be wasting my time. asking for your opinion as a more experienced editor 216.164.249.213 (talk) 08:39, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

I agree with the other editor who said that there shouldn't be an unofficial records table to begin with. Official records exist for a reason after all. If there were multiple genuinely reliable sources, then maybe I would change my mind about that, but certainly a youtube video wouldn't count. – Popo Dameron talk 17:33, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Fine-tuning

Hi PopoDameron! Just a quick query; would it not be better to keep fine-tuning (physics) as just fine-tuning? It is generally what one means when referring to the topic, so it would make sense. This seems to be a overall policy on Wikipedia as far as I can tell; the (...) is reserved to whatever the secondary topic is (Say inflation versus inflation (cosmology), or correlation function and correlation function (quantum field theory). OpenScience709 (talk) 12:02, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Hey User:OpenScience709! I can see why you might believe that the definition of fine-tuning in physics is what one generally means when referring to the topic since you seem to be very involved in that world. I am personally the same but in the world of machine learning, and I can tell you that 'fine-tuning' is a very, very common term in the field and that I don't believe it to be a secondary topic. When I Google fine-tuning now, I see around as many results that have to do with the definition in ML than the one in physics, so I think it's fair to say that both are frequently searched. Let me know if you still disagree though and I'm sure we'll figure something out! – Popo Dameron talk 14:27, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
I mean fair. Let's leave it as is for now. If in a few months one has overwhelmingly more views than another we can reconsider, but I'm also not very fussed. OpenScience709 (talk) 20:38, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
Sounds good to me, I was thinking of proposing the same idea. – Popo Dameron talk 20:42, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi PopoDameron. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:29, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

@PopoDameron: Thank you so much. The tagging is similar to the pinging system on discord, so on visual editing it would use "@". I just realized I can only use the @Username: on source edit. Thanks anyways. FlyingOctopusFish (talk) 01:05, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi PopoDameron. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

  • Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
  • You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
  • If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
  • Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
  • Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
  • Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:07, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

  • Proposal 2, initiated by HouseBlaster, provides for the addition of a text box at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
  • Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by Barkeep49 and Usedtobecool, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
  • Proposal 5, initiated by SilkTork, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
  • Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by BilledMammal, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
  • Proposal 7, initiated by Lee Vilenski, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
  • Proposal 9b, initiated by Reaper Eternal, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
  • Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by City of Silver, Ritchie333, and HouseBlaster, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
  • Proposal 13, initiated by Novem Lingaue, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
  • Proposal 14, initiated by Kusma, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
  • Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by Thebiguglyalien and Soni, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
  • Proposal 16e, initiated by BilledMammal, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
  • Proposal 17, initiated by SchroCat, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
  • Proposal 18, initiated by theleekycauldron, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
  • Proposal 24, initiated by SportingFlyer, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
  • Proposal 25, initiated by Femke, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Reinforcement learning from human feedback you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

The article Reinforcement learning from human feedback you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Reinforcement learning from human feedback and Talk:Reinforcement learning from human feedback/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello PopoDameron,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:
