Gazal world (talk) 18:09, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gazal world: Thanks! I was a little nervous about creating my first article adapted from a public domain source—glad it worked out :) AleatoryPonderings (talk) 18:11, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am sorry, but I unreviewed the page. There seems some copyvio. Can you please fix or explain it ? Dont't worry. The page will be reviewed later. --Gazal world (talk) 18:15, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gazal world: Happy to explain. The text is adapted from this source (flagged in the sources section of the article) which is in the public domain in the United States, since it was published in 1899. By my understanding, all works published in the United States before 1925 are in the public domain, and can be used for any purpose. When I checked the page on the Earwig copyvio tool, it picked up this source as well, which is definitely in the public domain because it is a law from the 18th century. Hopefully this clears things up? AleatoryPonderings (talk) 18:19, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I checked it now. Thanks for explaining. I have reviewed the article again. Sorry for inconvenience. Keep doing good work. Happy editing. Regards. --Gazal world (talk) 18:21, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much, TimothyBlue! This was a fun one to work on—thanks for giving me the opportunity to work on it. Are you also digging through CAT:NN to find old questionable articles? I know there's a drive on at the moment. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 19:27, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It was fun to go through. I've always loved docudramas and pseudo documentaries from the 50s, 60s and 70s and Bigfoot had a lot of those from the 70s The Legend of Boggy Creek, The Mysterious Monsters, etc. How I found it, I was actually just going through the new pages feed for AfD (I just pick a random day) and saw Specs (creature) and discovered more from there. Hope all is well.   // Timothy :: talk  20:17, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again :). Hope you're doing well. I had a small request if you have time. There is a user Leesaaisath on my talk page that is discouraged and thinking about leaving. They received a few dings from users and I nominated an article for deletion. I tried to encourage them, if you have time I thought you might be able to offer a word of encouragement and advice also, in hopes of retaining a potentially good editor with under-represented language skills. Again hope you're doing well.   // Timothy :: talk  14:52, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@TimothyBlue: Sorry if the ping is annoying; wasn't sure if you were watching. Thanks for thinking of me, and I hope you are doing well! I responded on your talk—hopefully it's somewhat reassuring for them :) AleatoryPonderings (talk) 15:08, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My recent Draft was not verified, plz help the person i had mentioned is really a professional football coach i had given sufficient References plz help.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darzubair (talk • contribs) 16:00, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi Darzubair! Looking at the draft article, I can see three potential problems:

1. You did not give inline citations, which is required according to the biographies of living persons policy.
2. You may not have clearly indicated how the subject of the article satisfies our notability criteria, in particular the notability criteria for football players.
3. You may not have cited reliable sources. Please make sure that sources you use are generally considered reliable. If you have a question about the reliability of a source, you can ask at the Teahouse or the reliable sources noticeboard. If you use the reliable sources noticeboard, you should first search the archives to make sure your question hasn't been asked before.

If you've made sure all these criteria are met, your article should be ready for mainspace. Happy editing! AleatoryPonderings (talk) 16:55, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

May remove this PROD, haven't decided if I want to spend the time editing the article, but found at least AllMusic, CMJ, The Washington Post, and Billboard, thanks. Caro7200 (talk) 18:07, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• @Caro7200: Thanks for letting me know! If the sources are there, feel free to contest the prod. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 18:09, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Caro7200: Did you still want to work on it? Happy to deprod it myself to avoid having the prod expire if you think there's enough sourcing. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 06:10, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, yes, thanks, I will take another look at it this afternoon. Thank you. Caro7200 (talk) 12:54, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, added some refs. I also saw some newspaper articles that I couldn't actually read. It needs work, but I try not to totally rewrite articles. Feel free, obviously, to add a "close association" template, or whatever, thanks. Caro7200 (talk) 14:39, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Caro7200: Thanks for your work! I'll take a look and see what tag(s) make sense. Always appreciate when someone deprods and substantially improves the article :) AleatoryPonderings (talk) 14:42, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So you like Pigmeat Markham? Listened to "Here Comes the Judge" yesterday, on an old mix CD I came across. Interesting old userpage. Caro7200 (talk) 15:15, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tbh I don't think I ever actually listened to him? I was just interested in old music/entertainment at the time, I think. A very interesting figure, definitely! AleatoryPonderings (talk) 15:19, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, AleatoryPonderings,

I was just working with a page you tagged and found that you were a longtime editor/admin who was returning to work on the project. So, I thought I'd welcome you back! I'm sure many things have changed while some of the old problems remain. I see few old-timers return after leaving years ago so thanks for doing so and connecting this account with your previous identity. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:01, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thanks @Liz! It's been a very long while, indeed. Some things feel exactly the same; some things entirely different. In any event, I'm glad to be back. Thanks again for your note :) And sorry for messing up that speedy—I never really worked much with CSD even when I had the tools, so I'm not super familiar with the intricacies of policy in that area.

A tag has been placed on Photogenic requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

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".
