Guideline and policy news

Following an RfC, there is a new criterion for speedy deletion: C4, which applies to unused maintenance categories, such as empty dated maintenance categories for dates in the past.
A request for comment is open to discuss whether Notability (species) should be adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.

Arbitration

Following a motion, remedies 5.1 and 5.2 of World War II and the history of Jews in Poland (the topic and interaction bans on My very best wishes, respectively) were repealed.
Remedy 3C of the German war effort case ("Cinderella157 German history topic ban") was suspended for a period of six months.
The arbitration case Historical Elections is currently open. Proposed decision is expected by 3 September 2024 for this case.

Miscellaneous

Editors can now enter into good article review circles, an alternative for informal quid pro quo arrangements, to have a GAN reviewed in return for reviewing a different editor's nomination.
A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in September 2024 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Currently, there is a backlog of over 13,900 articles and 26,200 redirects awaiting review. Sign up here to participate!

September 2024

You reverted my contribution with the reason that there were not a reliable source. All sources linked to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Norway on wikipedia. If say that they are not reliable, you are saying that wikipedia is not reliable. Please help me understand what was wrong. Theonlyruneyouknow (talk) 18:32, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understood from reading more about wikipedia and sources. I improved the sources and links. Theonlyruneyouknow (talk) 20:14, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Danelaw

Could you please tell me why my addition, that detailed the Danelaw falling to England in 954, was inappropriate? The link was to the king at the time, the closest thing to an article on the subject that didn't link to the Danelaw article itself.

In my opinion the infobox is incomplete, and makes a casual glance seem as though the Danelaw was an independent entity for all the time that it existed. This is obviously not the case. Alooulla (talk) 18:51, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, having read the infobox purpose you linked to me, it seems that the salient fact I added is in fact appropriate for the infobox. Was it an issue with the specific link? Alooulla (talk) 18:59, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alooulla You should start a discussion on the article talk page so that other people editing the article can participate, though I suggest you look through both WP:EASTEREGG and WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE, both of which I linked in my edit summary. Linking a "conquest" to a person is not appropriate and this "Anglo-Saxon conquest" is not described or labelled as such in the article body. TylerBurden (talk) 18:59, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As you wish. I will add it as a discussion topic, and hopefully someone else more versed in editing will take it from there.

In regards to the casual nature of various descriptors you also pulled me up on, it was the removal of language I felt was not educational in tone; E.G, 'in short order' (howso?) and William being 'the descendant of Vikings' really minimises the impact of his Frankish ancestry for poetry.

Statement by Milchakov

Regarding this edit summary,[1] statements about the numbers of members of organisations are to be avoided when they are exaggerated and made for publicity. If Milchakov stated that the Rusich are "several dozen" he is not exaggerating at all, on the contrary, in the following sentence he tries to justify this small number by saying that "a lot of people come and they have to be weeded out".[2] Mhorg (talk) 18:42, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mhorg No, he is not a remotely reliable source and it's ridiculous to pretend that he is. Like other POV pushers your inconsistency is more than clear. TylerBurden (talk) 04:52, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Meänkieli

‘Meänkieli’ is the autoglotonym, as ‘suomi’ is to Finnish in its own language. Tornedalian is the name it receives in the English language, as noted in the cited source (which, even if you did not agree with the use of the English glotonym, it was not wise to delete). Guarandu (talk) 19:15, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Guarandu So why is the article title Meänkieli on the English Wikipedia? This would be best brought up on the article talk page rather than my own either way so that others editing the article can weigh in. TylerBurden (talk) 19:31, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
