de-orphaning is unlikely to be successful
[edit]Hi there, I appreciate your recent edits to an article I created. I just read the orphan article on Wikipedia and at the moment I highly doubt that de-orphaning will be successful at the moment. As an experienced editor what could you suggest for de-orphaning an article without linking to a Wikipedia live space article? And the page said that I could remove tag if de-orphaning would likely be unsuccessful but I'm just making sure if I won't get banned or blocked for removing a template.
Cheers! Thank you for your contributions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChadLawrence021 (talk • contribs) 11:25, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Today, I de-orphaned article B major SA that was created August 10th. Tagged as orphan next day after created. My suggestion would be to allow 4 or 5 days before tagging. Regards, JoeNMLC (talk) 12:16, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi. Not sure what article you're referring to. However, it's good form to leave tags until the issue has been remedied. That way, other editors may see the tag and fix the issue. Onel5969 TT me 12:27, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

I know you don't do NPP anymore but I wanted to thank you for being a very thorough trainer through NPP school (even if I never technically finished it). I definitely think of you from time to time when reviewing. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 10:43, 20 August 2024 (UTC) |
- Thank you very much, Clovermoss. High praise indeed coming from someone of your caliber. I hope NPP is doing fine. Onel5969 TT me 00:38, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Well you know how it is, the backlog grows and grows and then sometimes drives get it down a bit. I don't fault you for getting burnt out, though. I took a crack at reviewing 2,000 redirects a few weeks back and that was a lot. I don't think I'll ever be on your level there. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 00:49, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
The article T. P. Thompson (politician) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Identical to T. P. Thompson (dab), WP:INCDAB, no incoming links.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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. – sgeureka t•c 14:40, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
Your draft article, Draft:Cooperativa Hidroeléctrica de la Montaña
[edit]Hello, Onel5969. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Cooperativa Hidroeléctrica de la Montaña".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 16:09, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Okinawa Prefecture vs Okinawa Island
[edit]I don't much think that IJN ships had much cause to visit the prefecture, but rather more the island and its naval facilities. You've improperly disambiguated several as traveling to the prefecture and I'd appreciate it if you could fix them. Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:13, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- I haven't improperly disambiguated any. The redirect goes to the prefecture, and when the context was ambiguous, I always AGF of the original editor, and point to the original target. If you feel that the original target is not the correct one, feel free to make the change. If I simply reverted my edits, guess what, the link would go to the prefecture. But I thank you for the guidance, and if I do any more changes regarding this, if it deals with an IJN ship, I'll select the island. Onel5969 TT me 21:41, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Joshua Zarka
[edit]I see that you reviewed articles of previous Israeli ambassadors to France so I'm wondering if you could please take a look at Draft:Joshua Laurent Zarka. Unbeknownest to me, the draft was created a while back by another editor and rejected 3 times. I only found this out when I was going to create an article for him. On this relevation, I worked on improving the draft and adding around 15 references to it.
I know that just because he's an ambassador he's not automatically notable.
I know that just because there are 23 references doesn't mean WP:GNG is automatically met.
As a reviewer I respect, if possible, could you please take a look at the draft with fresh eyes. If you say work has to be done on it and better references need to be found, I'll go away and try to find them.
Thank you. MaskedSinger (talk) 06:40, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- This is a borderline case. Another editor might have accepted the draft. I went through the independent sourcing (anything not from government sources, which are not independent in this case, since he works for the government). Most are brief mentions of him, which are good for sourcing the factual accuracy of the article, but not enough to pass WP:SIGCOV, which is part of GNG. These include the pieces by aa.com, i24, and Iranintl.com. Ones which put a bit more meat on the bone are the ones like the Axios and Guardian pieces. A very nice one is the LeMonde piece, although it is an interview. Interviews can be viewed as primary sources, but in this case, he is not talking about himself, so I wouldn't classify it like that. The Times of Israel piece is also nice, but it reads like it might be a press release from the government, so it will probably be discounted. I think you are one, maybe two references away from ensuring it would pass WP:AFD. I hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 08:51, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- It certainly does help. Thank you for that. I will go back to the well and see what I can find! MaskedSinger (talk) 11:55, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Feel free to reach out after you've improved it, and I'll take another look. Onel5969 TT me 11:58, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! Just added another 5 references. I searched in English and then I searched for some French sources. MaskedSinger (talk) 14:46, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Can you advise please
[edit]Hi there, I'm just getting started with the de-orphaning project. I came across Umar Farooq Zahoor on the list.
I'm probably missing something, you added the Orphan tag but there is already quite a few links. This isn't a complaint, I just wanted to ensure I didn't remove a tag that still needed to be there. I'm still easily confused with how Wikipedia works! Thank you. Knitsey (talk) 12:35, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi. No worries. While there are quite a few links, none of them is to another Wikipedia article. They are to transclusion pages, userpages, and wikipedia project pages. An article isn't de-orphaned until it links to at least 1 other Wikipedia article. Once that's done, you can remove the tag. And thanks for doing the drudgery work of de-orphaning. It's something I might look into in the future. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 13:04, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, I see now what you mean. I wasn't sure if linking Norway was too obvious a link? The article mentions NOK which I was thinking of piping? I wasn't sure if they were too trivial? Knitsey (talk) 13:26, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- I've just found out what I'm doing wrong. So I'm going to walk away from this conversation in the hopes that it will never be mentioned again and completely block out me making a fool of myself. Knitsey (talk) 16:59, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Eggplant carpaccio in the Baba Ghanoush wiki
[edit]You deleted it saying "the source doesn't say anything like that" evidently not reading the source b/c it is exactly paraphrasing the source. Then you said take it to the talk - but yet don't participate in the talk or give a reason for your deletion a second time? Greenlion88 (talk) 18:37, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- First, it wasn't deleted. Second, sorry, the verbiage wasn't close to what was in the source. Rather it was a highly pov interpretation. Since it was explained to you, you should understand the reason for the second revert - you were asked to discuss on the talk page, which you should already have realized as per WP:BRD. And just because I haven't responded on the talk page in your prescribed time frame is not my problem. Be patient, I'm sure both Justlettersandnumbers will chime in. Also, it's polite wiki-etiquette to provide a link to the page/discussion/action you are asking about. Onel5969 TT me 18:50, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Things Are Looking Up
[edit]Thank you for working for a better Wikipedia.
Regarding this edit/summary, could you please be more specific about why you think WP:DAB means the other shows and albums featuring the Gershwin song don't satisfy MOS:DABMENTION? Also, do i correctly understand from WP:DAB, MOS:DABMENTION, and the principle of least astonishment in Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking#Intuitiveness, instead of having a pipe link
- "Things Are Looking Up", a Gershwin song from the 1937 film, A Damsel in Distress
do i understand correctly that the disambiguation should try to (roughly) transcribe the link?
- "Things Are Looking Up", a Gershwin song from A Damsel in Distress (1937 film)#Music
i hope you get this message. Your talk page looks blank to me, despite what the edit history shows. If you don't respond here, i may repost this on Talk:Things Are Looking Up.
Wishing you safe, happy, productive editing.
--173.67.42.107 (talk) 22:15, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi. Regarding DABMENTION, the more specific guideline would be MOS:DABONE. When there is more than one choice, pick the best one. Since the redirect pointed to that particular target, I selected it. Regarding your question regarding "easter eggs", that is more pertinent to articles, than dab pages. Although you could change the link to your version if you prefer. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 00:20, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
Check before
[edit]Please check why might there suddenly be over a hundred links needing disambiguation. Sfântu Gheorghe, Transylvania was moved without discussion while being the primary topic. The page will be moved back. Regards, Super Ψ Dro 10:35, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- Also, why are you reverting me? It is obvious to any experienced editor that the move is inappropriate and will be reverted. Why do you want the disambiguation links that shouldn't even have existed in the first place to remain for the few hours that they'll be valid? Super Ψ Dro 10:36, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- I did check, and have left a message on the discussion regarding the move. Re-adding dabs while a discussion is underway is a tad disruptive. I do not find it obvious, and neither did an NPPer patroller. Onel5969 TT me 10:40, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- Super Dromaeosaurus, Forgot to add, that if the result of that discussion is to revert, would you please ping me, and I'll be more than happy to undo the dabs myself, I do not like making work for other editors.Onel5969 TT me 10:51, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- That is reasonable, though not as practical, but sure. I was trying to avoid the same situation that happened at Ion Creangă, moved without discussion by the same user, and now there's hundreds of similar links to a unnecessary disambiguation link [1] (you shouldn't deal with those, as it was another editor that changed them before the move was reverted). I appreciate that you offered to change back all the links. Regards, Super Ψ Dro 10:56, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

San Paolo
[edit]Hi Onel5969. Sorry to disturb you, but unfortunately your edits to change San Paolo in San Paolo, Lombardy are wrong. San Paolo often refers to Stadio San Paolo. Now I will fix all them manually. MrKeefeJohn (talk) 09:51, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Well, I simply pointed the targets to where they had been pointed previously, prior to you creating a redirect to the dab page. Onel5969 TT me 09:54, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- also refers to São Paulo. The target was already wrong before my redirect creation and I was checking all entering link before changing it. MrKeefeJohn (talk) 09:57, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
