Misplaced Pages

Please note: This talk page is known to be monitored by talk page watchers. This means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot respond to quickly is appreciated. Welcome to Yunshui's talk page. I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your talk page (or the article's talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or let me know where specifically you'd prefer the reply. If you reply to me elsewhere, please {{ping}} me or leave a {{talkback}} template here - I have over 4,000 pages on my watchlist and may miss your response otherwise. To leave me a new message on this page, please click here. If you are here because of a page that I deleted, please take a moment to read this page first. I prefer to keep communications on-wiki if possible, but if you need to discuss something privately, please send me an email.

My Future Misplaced Pages Plans

A7 speedy of Harry_Lewis_(Gamer)

Was wondering if you could perhaps help the editor User:XI_Ki11JoY_IX get started with writing the article in draft space since you performed the delete. Cheers! ELee 20:01, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

He/she's a very intermittent editor - I'd be happy to restire to draft/userspace if requested (although it seems pretty pointless, given the prior content of the article), but XI_Ki11JoY_IX would need to ask me themselves and commit to working on the page. Yunshui _水 07:12, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Not sure how this thing works, but i would be fine with the page being created per request of the actual person, rather than the fans who eventually abused it - KillJoY

That's not really how Misplaced Pages works - we don't create or edit articles about people simply because those people ask us to (and conversely, we don't delete articles about people at their request either). Immu 01, who created the initial version of the article, has now got a version of the page in their userspace to work on (see the thread below); if they bring it up to standard it can be moved back to mainspace. Yunshui _水 07:22, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of Harry Lewis (Gamer)

hello sir, i just wanted to ask u that why did u delete the page Harry Lewis (Gamer). he is a youtube celebrity, he has over 4.5 million subscriber, almost a billion views, they are many people on wiki with even less subscribers and views. He came on news, he is even on the page https://en.wikipedia.org/List_of_YouTube_personalities#W. If the content wasn't satisfying enough please give me the content so i could work on it more. Regards Immu 01 (talk) 08:43, 17 June 2015 (UTC)immu01

@Immu 01: Userfied to User:Immu 01/Harry Lewis (Gamer). Viewer/subscriber numbers aren't an arbiter of notability; you'll need to come up with multiple, reliable, independent sources to verify his inclusion in Misplaced Pages. Yunshui _水 08:57, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

he came on the show comedy central , he was mentioned in the magazine http://teneightymagazine.com/2015/05/04/weekly-round-up-27-3-may-2015/. and how can i get the content back. if i want to improve it. Immu 01 (talk) 09:27, 17 June 2015 (UTC)immu01

Cool, add citations for those and you'll probably have a usable article. I've restored the entire thing, not just the most recent revision, so you have all the content at the userpage draft linked above. Yunshui _水 09:29, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

thanks alot!! Immu 01 (talk) 09:32, 17 June 2015 (UTC)immu01

and can u restore the full thing please! Immu 01 (talk) 09:33, 17 June 2015 (UTC)immu01

Not sure what you mean by "the full thing" - every page revision has been restored. If you want to revert to an earlier version, you can do so in the page history. Yunshui _水 09:35, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Actually, having said that I've now deleted some revisions due to serious BLP violations. Given the degree of vandalism this page received in the single day it was up, I suspect you'll need to keep a close eye on it. Yunshui _水 09:41, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Could u check the draft and tell me that will it match with wiki guideline Immu 01 (talk) 09:50, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

and the things that dont have a reference are sent to me by Harry himself via e-mail Immu 01 (talk) 09:52, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

At present, you have only one usable source (teneighty magazine) and even that is comparatively weak. The subject's YouTube profile and the YouTube wikia are not reliable, independent sources. There's no way this would be accepted in its current state, sorry. Ditch all the YouTube and Wikia references and find something better. Personal emails are useless as sources, for the same reasons.

HELP!!

I want create a draft for the page Anish Bhatt (WatchAnish)!! could you help me? Immu 01 (talk) 14:45, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

There's definitely enough sources out there to warrant an article. I recommend starting with these; there should be plenty there to go on. Yunshui _水 07:49, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Barnstar of Good Humor
	Thank you User:Yunshui!!! And thank you for your kindness to me and for all, you make Misplaced Pages a better place to be!! Kwalacute16 (talk) 09:41, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

You are welcome; if you need help with anything, please ask. Yunshui _水 09:43, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

I'm just gonna ask are you a japanese? I'm just curious. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kwalacute16 (talk • contribs) 09:55, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

No, I'm a British. Yunshui _水 09:56, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

How old are you? And were are you in U.K. ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kwalacute16 (talk • contribs) 11:28, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

I value my anonymity, so the above (and this user subpage) is all the asl-type information you'll get out of me, I'm afraid. Why the interest? Yunshui _水 11:31, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Kwalacute sorry!!!

Oh do I look serious to you? Well I just wanna talk to another wikipidian user (like you) because I'm just a 4 days user. Hope you don't mind!! I am a kind person. And actually I'm just a 12 years old girl. I'm from Philippines. HI!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kwalacute16 (talk • contribs) 12:38, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

That's funny, Kwalacute16, because your user page said you were a 19 year old from Tennessee.

Please stop messing around on user talk pages and help contribute to article building. Why don't you go visit the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Council/Directory and find a WikiProject on a subject you're interested in? You're more likely to find people with similar interests that you can collaborate with rather than posting odd comments to editors you don't know. Happy editing! Liz 14:57, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages isn't a social network. Whilst I (and other users) will be more than happy to answer questions about using and editing Misplaced Pages and discuss its processes, we aren't here just to chat. Yunshui _水 07:43, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Hahaha

No I use my cousin's wiki and he is from tennessee. I didn't change his profile so that's why.

Spam Account Found

I recently found a spam account Hushpuppies101 (talk), whose owner artificially thanked me for my edit on Big Brother 17 (U.S.). The two edits the user made are both obvious vandalism, in which I have reverted them both.--EggyEggPercent (talk) 04:41, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the info - Mike Rosoft has already taken care of them. Yunshui _水 07:32, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Could you place the redirect back please? The IP has been blocked and Neil can't do it as he blocked him.  — Calvin999 11:31, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Neil could if he wished (it wouldn't be a violation of WP:INVOLVED), but to save him the trouble I've done so. Yunshui _水 11:49, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Yunshui. I read the RFD and I see editors arguing if the draft is ready and didn't want to take sides here. --NeilN 11:55, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Co-op Pilot Results & Mentoring

Hey there! The Co-op has been on a hiatus for a bit, but we are planning on opening up shop again soon. When you're able, please read over and respond to this update on our talk page. We have favorable results from our final report regarding the pilot, and we are interested in seeing who is available to mentor when we reopen our space and begin to send out invites again.

Vandalism

I am feeling rather pleased with myself because I spotted an error in Misplaced Pages that was deliberately introduced into Catshark by an apparently new editor 13 months ago. Admittedly I found it by chance, but I thought the statement "Catsharks are found in temperate and tropical seas worldwide, ranging from very shallow intertidal waters to depths of 3 m (9.8 ft) or more, depending on species" seemed a bit odd so I looked up the source cited. I found that the maximum depth should be 2000 metres not 3 and that had been what the article stated until 20th May 2014. I left a warning notice on the Jaboober123's talk page but he had only ever made a single edit. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:16, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

I hate it when subtle vandalism like that sits around for months. Nicely done. Yunshui _水 07:27, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Adminship

Thanks for your kind words over at my RfA. I shall strive to be worthy of the position, and hope I may do well by it. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:54, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Reliable sources

Can you do me a favour and take a look at Tadashi Abe. It was put up for AfD (I think in response to my AfDing another article) but that's not the issue. Several references from the ariticle were removed as being non-RS but, and this is why I'm asking, that included Aikido Journal and AikiNews. This has pretty strong ramifications for a lot of aikido articles. I do think Aikido Journal (which in its AikiNews form) was actually published is a reliable source as is the Aikido Encyclopedia which was also published in hard form - but is it? Is there a way to have that determined? And if not what does that mean for the majority of aikido articles? Should they be removed like that?Peter Rehse (talk) 20:31, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Given that both sources are used in Aikido itself, and that that article got to Featured status with both sources included, I would say they've been adjudged by the community to be reliable.

As regards the Abe nomination, it would be a sorry encyclopedia that left him out; I doubt there's a single serious Aikido practitioner in the Western world who doesn't know of him. id on't have a lot of time today but I'll have a look around tomorrow and see if there are any more sources that might be suitable. Yunshui _水 07:26, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Personally I always got confused by the various Abe's - yes I think a few more sources would be great.Peter Rehse (talk) 15:16, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Well, I've spent several hours over the last two days looking for online sources - beyond what's already there (and mirrors of the same) there's nothing that I can see would meet the RS guidelines. (The one time I thought I'd found something useful, it turned out to be about Kenshiro Abbe - so I can fully understand your Abe confusion!) It's a real shame. Personally I think what's already in the article is sufficient to warrant keeping it, and I suspect there are offline sources available, especially in Japanese. However, the search for more sources has petered out for me, sorry. Yunshui _水 08:23, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks - that mirrors my own attempt.Peter Rehse (talk) 09:21, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Talk Page Etiquette

Hi Yunshui,

Thanks for the prompt response to my appeal in ArbCom titled 'Talk Page Etiquette'. You asked me to go to Dispute Resolution first. I went there, and chose request for Mediation for the concerned page which is https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Adi_Shankara , but it is not letting me file the appeal at the Mediation page. I am seeing on my screen the following words:

You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:The page title or edit you have tried to create has been restricted to administrators at this time. It matches an entry on the local or global blacklists, which is usually used to prevent vandalism.

If you receive this message when trying to edit, create or move an existing page, follow these instructions:

Any administrator can create or move this page for you. Please post a request at the Administrators' noticeboard. You may also contact any administrator on their talk page or by email. Be sure to specify the exact title (especially by linking it) of the page you are trying to create or edit, and if it might be misunderstood (for example, an article with an unusual name), consider explaining briefly what you want to do. If you wrote any text, save it temporarily on your computer until you can edit the page.

Thank you.

Are you able to help me? Soham321 (talk) 10:12, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

That's odd; neither WP:DRN (where you should have gone) or WP:RFM (where you apparently went) are page protected, and the above looks like a blacklist match, which is very strange. What were the actual steps (i.e. the links you clicked and the content you entered) that you took? Yunshui _水 10:34, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

(It's worth noting, of course, that you are completely in the wrong here; Joshua's edits were perfectly in accordance with WP:TPO, whereas yours were clear violations. Any sanctions that your persistent raising of this issue generates will be directed at you.) Yunshui _水 10:38, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
