Towards a New Wikimania results

Last December, I invited you to share your views on the value of Wikimedia conferences and the planning process of Wikimania. We have completed analysis of these results and have prepared this report summarizing your feedback and important changes for Wikimania starting in 2018 as an experiment. Feedback and comments are welcome at the discussion page. Thank you so much for your participation. I JethroBT (WMF), Community Resources, 22:47, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Halloween cake DYK

Hi Edwardx: I notice that you started the review at Template:Did you know nominations/Halloween cake, but have not completed it. Just a reminder in case you forgot about it. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 02:01, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, North America. Review finished - good to go! Edwardx (talk) 17:53, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for following up. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 01:07, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Why?

Had a question. Why aren't prolific editors like you administrators on Wikipedia? (By the way thanks for reducing the over-linking on the Cottalango Leon DYK nomination).Xender Lourdes (talk) 19:46, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

I have been asking myself the same question. The Wikipedia:Requests for adminship process can be rather intimidating. It is something I have been seriously thinking about, and your kind words are encouraging. Overlinking is one of my bugbears, but when I looked at my earliest edits, I was doing it myself! Edwardx (talk) 19:57, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

I have seen the section and have had the opportunity to go through innumerable RfAs that have been put up in the past years (I am a prolific reader). What I see is that you have a good span of experience to be in administration. If you think you have the one week time to go through the RfA process I can invest my time into nominating your request. Xender Lourdes (talk) 01:50, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Don't be put off by that poll. Actually, give it time and hopefully others will look into your editing and give you a good score. I see good content creation, good AfD numbers, a long history here, and a nice manner at talk pages. Seems like you have the right stuff and would pass easily. It's not a guantlet for everyone. Unless you have some skeletons that would come up, I guess it would be a cakewalk for you. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:49, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

 Like what Xender Lourdes and Anna Frodesiak said. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 13:32, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Xender Lourdes, Anna Frodesiak and North America for your kind words and thoughts. Edwardx (talk) 21:31, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Meetups/UK/Black Cultural Archives

Hi Edward, I've added a note on remote participation to the event page in case people can't make it but still want to edit. Does this addition look reasonable to you? Is there more to add? Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 14:30, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Richard. That looks good to me. Edwardx (talk) 14:48, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Brexit hysteria

Hello. Not sure if you are interested in editing the worst idea ever. I have just added a reference, but I can't load the weblink because I've already read too many of their articles online (so I am literally reading the paper I bought earlier today). Perhaps you would be able to load the weblink and add it to the reference? Thank you. Zigzig20s (talk) 18:18, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Perhaps editing the article itself might be an even worse idea. I expect it to be a battleground. I'm worrying what might happen to all the hard-working oligarchs who call London home. Edwardx (talk) 19:39, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Probably self-deportation (a known unknown), but there are also unknown knowns.Zigzig20s (talk) 07:11, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Billionaire!

Sonny Kahn. Perhaps you'll want to expand his article and create another article about his company.Zigzig20s (talk) 10:46, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Are you able to find out more please? I've created articles about his co-founders as well.Zigzig20s (talk) 12:44, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Added some more and started the company! Edwardx (talk) 13:40, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. I've added a bit more too. There should be much more to add about their buildings and the co-founders. Galbut sounds like a wonderful philanthropist.Zigzig20s (talk) 14:22, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Tom Cobley Tavern

The article Tom Cobley Tavern has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Probably better off merging with Spreyton. I doubt this will ever expand beyond a few sentences.

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. Jolly Ω Janner 04:01, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Fair enough. I've expanded the article and removed the tag. Edwardx (talk) 12:00, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

lol!

Known unknowns?Zigzig20s (talk) 17:33, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

More and more people will be letting us know their views over the weeks and months ahead. Edwardx (talk) 19:36, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Tim Bevan

Possibly a member of the Bevan family, as he attended a Quaker school. Co-producer of Hail, Caesar!. Are you able to find a reference please?Zigzig20s (talk) 19:32, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Tried before. I'd say he almost certainly is connected, but could find nothing about his parents or ancestry. It is a mystery! Edwardx (talk) 19:35, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Edwardx

I am most keen to discuss the recent Tom Gilbey information that I added to your original page that you then took down.

Hello, Edwardx,

I have reviewed the above nomination. In order for it to receive final approval, you must supply a QPQ review.

Tom Gilbey

Hello Edwardx

can you kindly contact me about the Tom Gilbey page please?

Many thanks

David Edgel — Preceding unsigned comment added by David Edward Edgell (talk • contribs) 11:01, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

• Dear David, I am sure that your additions are well-intentioned, and the information you have added is interesting. In the edit summary, you write, "Information from primary source (Tom Gilbey), during series of one to one interviews conducted August 2015-Feb 2016." Alas, Wikipedia is based mostly on secondary sources. See WP:PRIMARY for more. Even where we use primary source information, it needs to have been published in a reliable source. See Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources.

Phrases like "universally recognised among the fashion cognoscenti" are not appropriate language for an encyclopedia, see WP:PEACOCK.

With regret, I am going to have to undo your additions again, but I will try to find time to expand the article in an encyclopedic manner. Edwardx (talk) 12:22, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Dear Edward Many thanks for your note of explanation. I would greatly appreciate your involvement in making the page as complete an encyclopaedic entry as possible, as laid down by Wiki. I also have some fantastic and exclusive photographs from TG's archive which work in conjunction with the copy. Perhaps you can contact me directly to see how we can drive this project forward. e: [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Edwardx I have taken out previously incorrectly reported information regarding Sally Riley that you have used, and which is factually incorrect. Would you kindly cast your eye over the editing please. Thank you. DE — Preceding unsigned comment added by David Edward Edgell (talk • contribs) 17:05, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your very kind and encouraging comments. I'm resisting having a peek at the new articles, I'll let you get on with them. >MinorProphet (talk) 18:21, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Please do have a look. You are actively encouraged to expand them, and there is plenty more to add. I am rather a magpie on WP, starting lots of things, but rarely finishing anything. Edwardx (talk) 18:29, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Palm Beach, Aruba

Do you think the hotels and casinos in Palm Beach, Aruba are still a thing? Worth looking into. The Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort could probably do with an article.Zigzig20s (talk) 22:31, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

For sure there is more that could be done there, but I'd rather do London hotels that I could also photograph. I've only been to Aruba airport, on the way to/from Venezuela, asI recall. Edwardx (talk) 12:34, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

We could do hotels and casinos. Just ping me.Zigzig20s (talk) 00:41, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Ivo Jarosy

If he was born in Berlin, isn't he German-born as opposed to Austrian-born?Zigzig20s (talk) 00:18, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Well-spotted. I did that just to check you were paying attention (yeah right). Fixed now. Edwardx (talk) 00:24, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

He may also be Austrian as his father was.Zigzig20s (talk) 00:34, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

His stepfather was Austrian. Do we know about his birth father? Edwardx (talk) 01:35, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Good point; I skim-read it. Actually, wasn't he born in Prussia?Zigzig20s (talk) 01:47, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

1921 - Berlin was Germany by then. Edwardx (talk) 02:07, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Merged an article of yours

I have merged your article on Aristophil into Musée des Lettres et Manuscrits. It's a little embarrassing for Wikipedia - the BBC looked at the latter and didn't see anything about the scandal, failing to realize you had covered it at an article on the company. But unless there is a lot more out there about the company, I think it's best to cover it at the article for the institution that served as its public face.

Using betteroffout.net as a reference

Looks like a primary source to me.Zigzig20s (talk) 13:19, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

I would prefer a higher quality source like a non-red top newspaper. If you look at Endorsements_in_the_United_Kingdom_European_Union_membership_referendum,_2016#References,

you will see many such sources. Nonetheless, I will try to find better sources for the people that I have added. Edwardx (talk) 13:30, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Can you find references about the likelihood of suicides among Europeans in the event that Brexit actually takes place?Zigzig20s (talk) 17:24, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Anthony Hidden DYK?

Anthony Hidden is probably DYK-worthy now. With regret, I find DYK a tedious process, so leave it to you to consider whether to nominate. I am up for doing a DYK check on some other DYK nominee, if you point me at it. I seem to recall DYK requires that sort of quid pro quo. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:55, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Okay, I see you've done one now! Edwardx (talk) 13:06, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, Mjroots. It's okay if you can't - you did almost all of the work, and I have plenty of DYK credits. Nice hook, by the way. Edwardx (talk) 20:20, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Credits sorted. As I said to Tagishsimon, if you have access to The Times online archive, there is plenty of material available to expand the article. Mjroots (talk) 12:42, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ken Owen (journalist)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Ken Owen (journalist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. TF ^{{ Contribs } { Edit Quest! }} 15:15, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. A refamiliarization with the speedy deletion criteria might be productive. Edwardx (talk) 18:35, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Are you able to photoshop the two nobodies out of this picture please? It seems a little invasive. I would hate to be immortalised in front of such a place.Zigzig20s (talk) 09:49, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

It would involve a great deal of work to remove them to a reasonable standard - have you ever tried using Photoshop for what you propose? They are just walking past and it looks like a perfectly respectable restaurant chain. Even if they knew they were in the photo, and it is most unlikely that they will ever know, I find it hard to imagine that they would object. In any event, no law or Wikipedia policy is being broken here. However, I might have another photo that I could use. Edwardx (talk) 11:54, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Edwardx: A recent edit you performed at DYK has been reverted. You may want to check it out. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 16:03, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Very nice, but I've already clicked through to it from someone else's talkpage - "won't get fooled again". Edwardx (talk) 16:15, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Hammersmith

Quite a photographic spree!Zigzig20s (talk) 23:20, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Interesting what you discover and learn when you start to photograph and then document your local areas in a bit more detail. Edwardx (talk) 12:01, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Perhaps you could take a picture of the Creative Artists Agency office building too...Zigzig20s (talk) 12:05, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

They are based at "5th Floor, 3 Shortlands, Hammersmith". So, it is just an office in a boring modern tower. If I pass that way, I might... Edwardx (talk) 11:15, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 21:34, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Such a good hook! I want to promote it, but it has no QPQ. Yoninah (talk) 21:34, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Yoninah. Flattery will get you everywhere, but the hook idea was the work of Philafrenzy. QPQ now done. Edwardx (talk) 22:02, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! Yoninah (talk) 22:05, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

...should probably have an article. Lots of stores.Zigzig20s (talk) 22:32, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Done. Probably have a photo somewhere... Edwardx (talk) 22:46, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Great. It's hard to find reliable sources about it. Couldn't find anything in the FT, and The Guardian has a few articles but only peripherally.Zigzig20s (talk) 22:47, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

I wonder who owns it?Zigzig20s (talk) 22:48, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

DYK for Joan Bates

On 7 April 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Joan Bates, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Joan Bates was a queen before she was a princess? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Joan Bates. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Gorkana

Gorkana could perhaps have an article, but how to make it not sound like an ad?Zigzig20s (talk) 21:42, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Never heard of them before, but "Gorkana PR Products" sounds like something you need to be a bit careful about writing about, as other editors may be sceptical about NPOV. Plus the company itself may later try to massage the article. Perhaps see what is out there via Gooogle News? Edwardx (talk) 22:02, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Familiarity with Gorkana is now a requirement for media and communications jobs apparently. I might as well give up and marry up!Zigzig20s (talk) 22:12, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Aggad

If you can find a third Aggad, we can create a disambiguation page!Zigzig20s (talk) 22:58, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

How about Foued Mohamed-Aggad? Edwardx (talk) 23:36, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Well, he would have to have an article, and I don't think we should be creating such articles. It is somewhat curious though. Is there not someone else?Zigzig20s (talk) 23:44, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

You could start Aggad Investment Company. Edwardx (talk) 23:47, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

I thought you were interested in the topic. I was trying to encourage you!Zigzig20s (talk) 00:15, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
