2 Rough consensus[edit] Shortcut: WP:ROUGH CONSENSUS Administrators must use their best judgment, attempting to be as impartial as is possible for a fallible human, to determine when rough consensus has been reached. For example, administrators can disregard opinions and comments if they feel that there is strong evidence that they were not made in good faith. Such "bad faith" opinions include those being made by sock puppets, or accounts created solely for voting on the deletion discussion. If a rough consensus holds that the nomination was made in bad faith, the page may be speedily kept.

If the major stakeholders have not been notified of the proposed deletion or given time to respond, reliable consensus determinations will rarely be possible.

Consensus is not determined by counting heads, but by looking at strength of argument, and underlying policy (if any). Arguments that contradict policy, are based on opinion rather than fact, or are logically fallacious, are frequently discounted. For instance, if it the entire page is found to be a copyright violation, a page is always deleted. If an argument for deletion is that the page lacks sources, but an editor adds the missing references, said argument is no longer relevant.

Wikipedia policy requires that articles and information comply with core content policies (verifiability, no original research or synthesis, neutral point of view, copyright, and biographies of living persons) as applicable. These policies are not negotiable, and cannot be superseded by any other guidelines or by editors' consensus. A closing admin must determine whether an article violates these content policies. Where it is very unlikely that an article on the topic can exist without breaching policy, policy must be respected above individual opinions.

Per "ignore all rules", a local consensus can suspend a guideline in a particular case where suspension is in the encyclopedia's best interests, but this should be no more common in deletion than in any other area.

Hello, EGS-zs8-1, an article you either created or significantly contributed to, has been nominated  to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page as part of Did you know. You can see the hook and the discussion here. You are welcome to participate! Thank you. APersonBot (talk!) 04:05, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On 19 May 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article EGS-zs8-1, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that EGS-zs8-1 is the oldest and most distant galaxy ever observed? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/EGS-zs8-1. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, 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.

We at Wikipedia love evidence-based medicine. Please cite high-quality reliable sources. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. A list of resources to help edit such articles can be found here. The edit box has a build in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. WP:MEDHOW walks through editing step by step. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:57, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. We have compiled a list of guidance for students and new editors:

1. Use high quality sources for medical content. This is described at WP:MEDRS. High quality sources include review articles (note this is not the same as peer reviewed), position statements from national and internationally recognized bodies (think CDC, WHO, NICE, FDA, etc), and major medical textbooks. Lower quality sources may be removed.
2. References go after not before punctuation (see WP:MOS)
3. We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
4. Do not use the url from the inside net of your university library. The rest of the world cannot see it.
5. If you use textbooks we need page numbers.
6. Please format your references as explained at WP:MEDHOW or like the ones already in the article. This is simple once you get the PMID / ISBN.
7. Every sentence can be referenced. We reference more densely than other sources.
8. Never "copy and paste" from sources. We run copy and paste detection software on new edits.
9. Section order typically follows the instructions here at WP:MEDMOS
10. Please talk to us. Wikipedia works by collaboration and this takes place on the talk pages of both articles and user.

Again welcome and thank you for joining us.

P.S. Please share this with your fellow learners and instructors.

Thanks for your attention to science articles. As "Doc James" noted above, with regard to medical editing, there are distinct requirements of science editing that are worth noting. In particular, WP articles are not reviews—perusing primary literature, and adding lines to update based on editor interpretation—but are, rather, reports of our editors on the content of others' (scholars') reviews, monographs, and other quality secondary sources. Our aim is to report the preponderance of scholarly opinion on each subject (alongside shorter inclusion of significant minority views), and not in any fashion to try to decide ourselves what that preponderant view is, or should be. I would also note that it is important to be as complete as possible in recording your sources, especially when they are web-only, because when the URL links break (go dead), as is inevitable, the likelihood a future editor can repair the situation depends entirely on how much other information is provided. For more information, please see WP:VERIFY and WP:OR, and skim these policies for relevant content with regard to science editing. Hope this helps you to appreciate these general and specific requirements. Cheers. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 16:25, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for short communications so far. I have been travelling. I will use the article talk page.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 13:09, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Andrew, no apologies needed, also please allow me 4-5 days to respond to your questions in the article talk page. (busy in the meantime) The edit summary box only allowed me to only enter short text notes, which can seem curt, so I thought it better to discuss on the talk page and get your views. Thank you, --CuriousMind01 (talk) 23:57, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No rush at all of course. Wikipedia has no deadline. --Andrew Lancaster (talk) 11:01, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just thought I would say that even though we aren't agreeing on much right now I appreciate your polite demeanor in the face of disagreement. Springee (talk) 15:19, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Springee. You are welcome. I always try to be civil. I consider differences of opinion, as natural, and are learning opportunities, and are never a reason to disrepect you or anyone. CuriousMind01 (talk) 13:21, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You are successful in that regard. I understand you have a string belief in what you are advocating. For what it's worth, I see nothing wrong with asking others to clarify there views etc. Thanks for the collaborative spirit. Springee (talk) 13:39, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, I was thinking about creating a NPOVN discussing asking basically about "reverse notabilty" (common term notable, not wiki NOTE). Would you like to collaborate on the question? Springee (talk) 13:49, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Springee. Yes. Thank you,CuriousMind01 (talk) 15:04, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I think we are on generally opposite thoughts on this so I'm hoping we can craft a very neutral question. I'm working on it but honestly it's not at all easy to think of a suscint way to ask or describe the problem. I hope to have a draft question in my sandbox in the next 24 hours. If it's OK with you let's edit it there. I'm thinking about mentioning the F-650 RfC as an example but only if you are OK with it and after the RfC is closed. Thus if we use it the posting will get delayed a bit. Is that all OK with you? Springee (talk) 01:38, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Once again we find our selves disagreeing. I'm going to again thank you for a good back and forth even if I haven't been able to persuade you to change your mind! Springee (talk) 17:55, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Barnstar of Diligence

Thank you for getting involved in the West Montrose article where there were so many disputes as to what content is relevant, what sources are reliable, etc. etc. etc. It took a long time and you stuck with it. I can understand why so many others ask you to get involved in articles (feedback) that need an unbiased, incisive, helpful editor to cut through the disputes.

Beginning on November 28, 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative (Safety and Support and Anti-Harassment Tools team) will be conducting a survey to en.wikipedia contributors on their experience and satisfaction level with the Administrator’s Noticeboard/Incidents. This survey will be integral to gathering information about how this noticeboard works - which problems it deals with well, and which problems it struggles with.

The survey should take 10-20 minutes to answer, and your individual responses will not be made public. The survey is delivered through Google Forms. The privacy policy for the survey describes how and when Wikimedia collects, uses, and shares the information we receive from survey participants and can be found here:

As we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time. For the co-ordinators, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:35, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings,

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
• updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.
