Wednesday March 16, 7pm: WikiWednesday Salon and Skill-Share NYC | |
---|---|
You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our monthly "WikiWednesday" evening salon (7-9pm) and knowledge-sharing workshop at Babycastles gallery by 14th Street / Union Square in Manhattan. We will include a look at the organization and planning for our chapter, and expanding volunteer roles for both regular Wikipedia editors and new participants. We will also follow up on plans for recent (Art+Feminism!) and upcoming edit-a-thons, and other outreach activities. We welcome the participation of our friends from the Free Culture movement and from all educational and cultural institutions interested in developing free knowledge projects. We will also vote on nominations for the global Wikimedia Foundation board. After the main meeting, pizza/chicken/vegetables and refreshments and video games in the gallery!
We especially encourage folks to add your 5-minute lightning talks to our roster, and otherwise join in the "open space" experience! (One likely talk this month will be on the Wikidata project.) Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) 17:59, 10 March 2016 (UTC) |

QCs
Hi, It has just come to my attention that you recently adjudicated on two AfD discussions; Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Bowsher and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles Sherrard (barrister) and in both cases you ruled in favour of delete. In both cases the nominator quoted WP:LAWYERS "A lawyer who has received an appointment that indicates pre-eminence within the profession, such as Queen's Counsel, shall be treated in the same manner as a person who satisfies criteria 1 of WP:ANYBIO." which actually provided cast iron evidence of why both articles should have been retained as both these people were QCs. The nominator knew they were QCs and argued incorrectly that a subject needs to satisfy more than criteria 1 of WP:ANYBIO to avoid deletion. Your decisions have resulted in the nominator nominating a whole bunch of AfDs on similar grounds, pissing off at least one other editor. I think you should explore ways in which you can walk back your decisions. Graemp (talk) 07:34, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
- If there is new evidence (i.e., that they are QCs), then it should go to WP:RFU. Also, WP:LAWYERS is a failed proposal, so the mere fact they are QCs would not mean automatic inclusion; they would still need to pass WP:ANYBIO / WP:NOTABILITY. MBisanz talk 09:51, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
