citations
Okay so when using the web citation templates, when it asks for name, ect, that is for the website or the author? That whole template has me a bit confused Dread Skott (talk) 18:08, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
- Hey Dread Skott, yeah that stuff is confusing. Often you can figure it out by looking at the template documentation, which is supposed to explain it (i.e. go to template:cite web or whatever). name= is for the author's name (or alternately you can use last= and first= for the name). I think the name of the website goes in its own |website= parameter. You can also just play around with it filling in the values and previewing, then save when you like how it looks! BTW you know about WP:RS though right? Some random website doesn't cut it, it has to be something that gets vetted by an editor (like, I don't know, huffington post, or E! news). Let me know if I can help with anything! delldot ∇. 20:57, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
Critical Response
When including the critics responses to productions of the work of a playwright, would it be appropriate to have the name of the play as a header, the location and date of the production as a subhead then bullet the names of the reviewers and their publications with links to the actual review?
Thank you for your guidance!
Maura MauraJunius (talk) 18:42, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
- Hey MauraJunius, good to see you're still improving it! Tough question. I don't know what the actual convention is, fortunately there's WikiProject Theatre full of folks who work on these types of articles. They don't have a guideline for playwrights but WikiProject Theatre/Article Structure has a guideline for a Response section. It's not detailed enough to answer your question though. In my opinion, it would be best to have a general header like Critical reception, then maybe subheaders for each play if there's enough info to fill out a good sized subsection. Otherwise I'd just write it out in different paragraphs. A bulleted list could work, but it might be better to just write it out in prose--I think bulleted lists are not preferred. Then I would definitely link to the reviews but I would do it in the references section--i.e. put the reference with the link between <ref></ref> tags at the end of the relevant sentence. I looked at A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant which is a featured article, meaning the community has deemed it among the best articles. I look at FA's in the relevant area when I'm trying to figure out how to write something. Here are more theater FA's. Anyway look at the Pageant article's Reception section, that's the way I'd format it (of course you're dealing with more than one play). Anyway, I hope this helps, let me know if I can clarify anything! delldot ∇. 23:18, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
Category:Characters that are apart of the Marvel Cinematic Universe
This category clearly meets the requirements of speedy deletion, the same editor has recreated the same categories under albeit under slightly different title variations on multiple occasions and each time the concensus is the same. It's actually disruptive behavior at this point.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 03:06, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
- I hear you TriiipleThreat, there's no way we're keeping this one, but I was loath to close the CFD discussion as speedy delete because there were other pages being discussed at the same time. I thought it might actually be more efficient to let the thing run its course. But I have no problem with speedying either. I think the way you typically express your opinion is to comment with a speedy delete in the deletion discussion rather than tagging the page. You can weigh in on the other cats that way too. Peace, delldot ∇. 03:15, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for helping to make the article Neonatal infection get even better with your recent edit. I just found out that it is in the que to appear on the Main page in the "Did you know..." section in about a week. If you would like to help make it even better, please feel free to polish it up with me. Thanks again and Best Regards,

FA review for Sexuality after spinal cord injury
Just want to give you a heads up that I'll give comments for this article tomorrow. I hope all is well! Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 07:38, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion - NPlot
Hi, you have deleted the article on NPlot. The reason stated indicates misunderstanding of the subject (refer to the Talk page; - update - didn't even manage to write anything on the Talk page because the article was deleted before I could do anything, so I will put the argument about contesting deletion on my talk page). Can you please revert the action so that the article is available for eventual improvement. Thanks, Ajgorhoe (talk) 11:53, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hey Ajgorhoe, sorry for the speed of that speedy! Sure, I can undelete it so you can work on it. How about somewhere in your userspace like User:Ajgorhoe/NPlot at least until it's got a few references for verifiability. You're right that the A7 web was not the right justification so that was my mistake to go with that, but wouldn't you agree that it should meet the General notability guideline by showing it's been written about in reliable sources? Thank you for bringing this up, I'm sure your contributions will be valuable. delldot ∇. 15:21, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hi delldot, thanks for your response. It would be useful for me if you save the article to User:Ajgorhoe/NPlot because I will not be able to work on it soon. I planned to add a broader set of information about .NET libraries because I think that software libraries are poorly covered in general and this would also be useful to attract other contributions in the area (to move things from a standing point). But my stock of time is limited and I already spent this weekend's stock on studying formalities, in particular to figure out how to start and evolve work without parts being removed before they get close enough to their final form.
- Of course I agree that articles should meet notability guidelines, verifiability, accuracy etc. Exactly for this reason the amount of work invested in this short piece of information was rather large, but further work would be needed (not in terms of deletion, if I try to make my point) and I don't think I should feel solely responsible or "called" for this mission. Wikipedia is a collaborative project and people can't claim parts of it. In order for an article to reach maturity and good quality, it is necessary that more people get involved and it takes some time and iteration. In the particular case, the article would have most value when connected to other related information (which would advance the whole area) and this should be built here. But this will not happen (it hasn't by now with exception of some specific areas such as numerical libraries) if a modest start is not possible. Regards, Ajgorhoe (talk) 17:45, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- Sure, I will undelete it as soon as I'm home in front of a computer, rather than on my mobile. Thanks Ajgorhoe for the time you've put in so far and I'm sorry for not recognizing that right away. I see your point about having something there as a basis for future work. How about adding just a reference or two to get it up to a minimum standard, then moving it to article space and soliciting help on the relevant WikiProject talk page? Or even soliciting help while it's still in the user space? Maybe we can find some active editors in the field as well, and leave them personal messages. I don't mind helping with some of this, but adding the references is probably going to be difficult for me due to the aforemand unfamiliarity with the topic. Peace, delldot ∇. 21:27, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for your advise. I'll have to leave it aside for some time, but later the undeleted article will be useful and I'd try to improve it according to your suggestions. I didn't think of soliciting help on the relevant WikiProject talk, and it might be a good idea, especially with a broader work on libraries which I would like to see pushed forward. I will probably come back for some advice later. Regards, Ajgorhoe (talk) 23:21, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Delta Dawn (murder victim)
Hi. Can you give Delta Dawn (murder victim) a look-over/copy-edit? Paul Benjamin Austin (talk) 19:07, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- Sure Paul, what do you have in mind? A GA-type review where I say what I think is missing in terms of comprehensiveness and everything? Or more of just a straight copyedit/prose check? You want me to bring up issues I find on the talk page, or just fix stuff myself? delldot ∇. 19:28, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- Both review and bring up issues and if you can fix stuff yourself where you can, that would be good. Paul Benjamin Austin (talk) 19:34, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- Cool, will do. delldot ∇. 19:41, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Assigning categories
Thanks for all of the work you did to carry out Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2015 December 28#Category:Populated places by year of establishment subcats. I would hope that a bot could do some of the heavy lifting but it appears like a task that had to be done manually. Liz Read! Talk! 18:43, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- Aw, thank you so much for that Liz! It's rare enough to have someone acknowledge grunt work like that (which actually I enjoy way more than is probably healthy). When I saw the orange notice I literally said "oh dear" out loud because I was sure it was either someone letting me know I screwed something up or that there was a more intelligent way to have done that. delldot ∇. 18:54, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- To be honest, I use to spend a lot of time in CfD discussions when I first started regularly editing in 2013. So I thought when I became an admin last summer, I thought I'd be doing a lot of work in CfD field. But while I am comfortable closing discussions, I find the instructions to carry out actions like mergers so confusing compared to other deletion areas that I've worked in more straight-forward admin activities. If you'd ever be willing to walk me through it, I'd appreciate it!
- Oh, and I noticed all of the work you were doing because I regularly tag empty categories and some of those categories you deleted were empty and kept appearing on the database report list every morning but were left untouched because they were involved in a CfD discussion. So, now they be gone! Liz Read! Talk! 20:14, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
