Hi, I have noticed you occasionally taking an interest in this topic.
There was some interference last week.
This week I am dropping you off a couple of "to do" items.

Hi J. This ip has started this thread because they are unwilling to place the bare url tags at the top of the article. You can see the requests about this on the ips talk page and at this thread User talk:Derek R Bullamore#Link rot. Proceed as you wish and thanks for your work here at the 'pedia.

@66.97.20.206: I would be happy to address any bare urls that are appropriately tagged at the top of the article with the {{bare urls}} template. Thanks Jmertel23 (talk) 21:24, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome J. BTW I've been noticing your progress as you learn how to deal with these and I have to say good work on your part. Not that you need it but please feel free to ask if any questions come up. I may not be able to answer all of them but I might be able to point you in the right direction :-) Cheers.

Hi, the draft article on William Martin Leggett referred to him by his forename as he was known in Canada by his birth surname Leggett, but subsequently in England and Australia (apart from a very brief period) by his adopted name Campbell. His Australian descendants are Campbells. Using "William" throughout skirts this difficulty. I've amended the article. Regards Cvening (talk) 23:10, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:Miss USA 2019 delegates requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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 deleted without delay.

I saw on the template you have placed on this article's talk page that this article needs an infobox. On Chinese Wikipedia, the infobox template used is "中国乡级行政区." The problem is, that template doesn't seem to exist on English Wikipedia. Searching up "Template:中国乡级行政区" on Chinese Wikipedia, I am unable to translate it into English.

It boggles me just how different the different languages of Wikipedia are from each other. An article in one language might not exist in another, same for templates, and so on. Originally, before I even started editing Wikipedia, I thought that the language buttons on the left side just used software such as Google Translate to machine-translate the article, and that every article existed in the same certain set of languages. Fast forward to more recent times, when I first began to read Wikipedia in other languages when I saw the discrepancy.

But back to the point, what should I do in situations like this, where a template doesn't exist on a version of Wikipedia where it is required? Do I need to create it myself? I have minimal experience with templates, and so am cautious to create a new one. Or is there a place where I can request that others create templates? Any helpful output requested, thanks in advance. 𝕎𝕚𝕜𝕚𝕎𝕒𝕣𝕣𝕚𝕠𝕣𝟡𝟡𝟙𝟡 (talk) 12:51, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I saw that you're helping to maintain the page about "Junior Blind of America." Thank you! I actually sit on their board and they are excellent organization. That said, I did want to let you know that they changed their name a couple of years ago to Wayfinder Family Services (https://www.wayfinderfamily.org/), since they have broadened their focus beyond "vision." If you deem that valid information and worthy of an update, would you please consider updating the page sometime? I'm a very, very inexperienced contributor and have no idea how to update an entry with something like a new name, etc. Thank you for considering!

Hello J. I hope you are well. You made a good call here about removing the stub tag. When you do that please take a moment to go to the talk page for the article and update the status on any wikiproject boxes that may be there. You can see how I did that for the article in question. It isn't a big deal if you forget this but I know that you like to be thorough. Thanks again for your work here and cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 18:20, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@MarnetteD: Thanks for the reminder! I use the Wikipedia:Metadata gadget that shows me the assessment in the article header, and because the article was assessed as start-class in the WP Biography template, it showed that way in the header for me. This is a good reminder to check to ensure that all the WikiProjects are assessed the same. Thanks again! Jmertel23 (talk) 21:38, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome. Yeah I noticed the talk page had both stub and start assessments. I can't remember if I've seen that before so that was a rare bit of confusion :-) Happy editing. MarnetteD|Talk 21:44, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

...at the Up (film series) article. Always appreciate the hard work your team does. Cheers. 2601:246:C700:9B0:7573:9C20:A653:9660 (talk) 04:20, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

...at the Life cycle assessment artcle. Kudos again. One favour to ask—when setting up the ReFill tool, click on the check boxes that provide the most full array of fields, especially the access-date field. A full access-date field is important to article quality in the long term, and sets a good example for follow-on editors. And having the other fields included in the markup of the citation, even if empty, is a convenience—because it provides a ready space to put something else in (author, title, etc.), when it is found. THANKS again for your help. All the more if you can use the more complete citation field options as we go on. Cheers. 2601:246:C700:9B0:14EF:786C:2299:AB67 (talk) 16:39, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback! I actually prefer not to use the access date field unless I personally verify the content - and I typically only verify the citation details in these cases. But I can definitely make sure to include it when I do verify the information! Jmertel23 (talk) 18:00, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again, mate. Vis-a-vis including the access-date field, perhaps include it, and leave it blank (urging us all on to verify). Cheers. 2601:246:C700:9B0:A57B:85B4:7889:AE7D (talk) 19:57, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Damon Runyon's short story "Dancing Dan's Christmas" is a fun read if you have the time. Right from the start it extols the virtues of the hot Tom and Jerry This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true.

Hi Jmertel23. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encylopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 21:48, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jmertel123, Can you please clarify you need sources/citations to which part(s) of the article exactly? Because for example, his filomography is linked to the imdb pages of each series/film. So what else exactly can be more effective? Also, I have many sources but in Arabic language. Will they be accepted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Angiemsk (talk • contribs) 15:12, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Angiesk: I would be happy to clarify. The issue is that the sources used on the page are not reliable - please see WP:CITEIMDB. Similarly, please see WP:CIRC regarding using other wiki articles as sources. It is importance to show that the subject of the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guidelines. It is fine to use non-English sources, as long as they meet the criteria described in WP:GNG. Hope that helps! Jmertel23 (talk) 15:43, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, why was this article draftified within minutes of its creation? Don't you give people time to develop their articles? Yoninah (talk) 00:41, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• @Yoninah: Agreed. In the meantime I have lodged a complaint with an experienced Admin (@DGG:). See User talk:DGG#Draft:Seven Nations (Bible) for a listing of my complaints against @Jmertel23: and requesting reversal of this very hasty and misinformed decision. Thank you, IZAK (talk) 01:24, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not treating this as a complaint, but just as a request to fix the problem. I've revised it a little to show the sources in the usual manner, and accepted it. I would advise against AfD, for there are probably a few hundred secondary sources, though most will be in languages I am unable work with. DGG ( talk ) 02:21, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@IZAK and Yoninah: In response to both you comments here and on IZAK's and DGG's talk pages: I apologize that my action appeared to you as a violation of WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF. That was most certainly not my intention. I never doubted that the topic met WP:GNG, but Wikipedia is built upon verifiability of claims. By moving the article to draftspace, my intent was to provide you with time/space to develop the article into one that appropriately verified the included information without the threat of deletion. I never said that you would need to wait 6 months to move it back to mainspace - in fact, I encourage moves back to mainspace once the core citations have been added, so that others can more easily help to grow the article. Jmertel23 (talk) 12:12, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Will you please explain why you passed the above draft, which I've subsequently draftified? One independent source of low quality is nowhere near sufficient to show GNG. John from Idegon (talk) 01:00, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@John from Idegon: Because even so much as a quick google search shows many reviews of the product. It easily passes WP:GNG. I do see that is has since been moved back to mainspace. I typically only move articles to draftspace when they are either completely unsourced or have nothing but IMDb, social media, etc. as their only listed references, but when there are likely more sources available. Articles that truly don't pass WP:GNG shouldn't be moved to draftspace - they should be marked for deletion. Jmertel23 (talk) 12:12, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is NPP, not AfD. It doesn't matter whether the subject is notable. The article as you are reviewing it needs to show it. If the subject is notable but the article doesn't show it, then it should be draftified. We make a product. You don't put a car that is missing a hood on the showroom floor. If you aren't comfortable with draftifying, please at least just pass it over and look later. Passing articles that do not show notability is not the way to go. John from Idegon (talk) 23:20, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, please disregard User:John from Idegon (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs), he is trolling me and has now apparently expanded his trolling to anyone who even tangentially supported me. WP:EDITING, which is official policy here, is quite clear on the behaviors expected from editors and John is failing that here in spades. WP:STUB is still active and in use, and the article at present has more than met the criteria for being kept as a stub to be expanded.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

...of the Draft:AKKA Technologies article was without any substantive basis, my colleague. One wonders if you took the time to do any check, independently, to see if the company was notable (as opposed to judging it based on its minimal text, in the stub). No, AKKA Technologies is a French-based multinational that employed more than 20K and posted revenues of >1.6 billion $US in 2017-2018, and it has purchased companies in the U.S. recently.

If you need persuasion, go to the French wikipedia article, copy the first three lines, paste it into a Google search, and when the search result appears, click on the link to Translate this page—as I have done for you here. The issue with the article is not the notability, it is that it was only a stub, and poorly sourced. The rich non-company sourcing at the French article can be tapped to start, and thereafter, the business literature in the US can be used to finish building the foundation. Once again, the issue here is not notability; it is—not speaking of you, here, but of the state of things in the relevant Wikiprojects—ignorance at Wikipedia of international business in general, and of multinationals based outside the US, in particular.

Hi Jmertel23. You were kind enough to improve the categories on some articles I wrote on Persian poems recently. There are now six articles on poems by Hafez, namely:

• Sīne mālāmāl
• Mazra'-ē sabz-e falak
• Goftā borūn šodī
• Zolf-'āšofte

Thanks for your comments. I was glad that I finally had some time to contribute to Wikipedia and fill gaps on research topics I am familiar with. But am now so discouraged that I am close to giving up contributing. I am a university employee and wrote about a large 13-year collaborative research effort I have been involved with on the managing side. Only someone who is familiar with this issue can cover it well. Why should that be a conflict of interest? I included published references to support almost every sentence. I appreciate that the first version was too long. The topic deals with very complex and broad collaborative research and cannot be split into several articles.

Thank you for fixing the references on 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Vermont, particularly for the ones for articles with multiple authors. For speed, I have been simply using the "cite news" option on the "Templates" menu in the default editor, and that template pop-up does not provide an option for multiple authors. I appreciate seeing how to do it now with "last2", "first2", etc. Thanks - Dyork (talk) 16:23, 23 March 2020 (UTC) (and greetings from elsewhere in Vermont)[reply]

would not be enough to tag it as a translation from a different language wikipedia article ?

btw someone commented that lanzalonga is not english, so now "katana" should be deleted from the english language wiki because it's japanese ? "glaive" also isn't english, it's from french

btw in Tudor english Lanzalonga was written in english language directly from the original italian as "Lanza Longa" or also translated as "Long Spear" - I do not care for which version of the name should be used on wiki, they are all the same

https://www.hroarr.com/manuals/fiore/omsg_lanza.pdf

for details on pole weapons, sorry it's a quitely long article

http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/tag/GIALDE/

The Enciclopedia Italiana di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti (Italian for "Italian Encyclopaedia of Science, Letters, and Arts"), best known as Treccani for its developer Giovanni Treccani or Enciclopedia Italiana, is an Italian-language encyclopaedia. The publication Encyclopaedias: Their History Throughout The Ages regards it as one of the greatest encyclopaedias along with the Encyclopædia Britannica and others.[

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treccani

from a blog

https://tophat.games/blog/the-militia-of-medieval-communes

Shields and spears were no longer in the hands of a single soldier: the spear was now held with both hands, having stretched out to 13 feet or more, becoming a weapon called "lanzalonga" (literally, “long spear”). The shield also became larger, rising up to 6 feet, wider and capable of fixing itself to the ground.

@Cunibertus: These are fine references. If you could add them to the article, it would be fine to move back to mainspace. Jmertel23 (talk) 14:48, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jmertel23. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Atif Tauqeer, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The few sources indictate that he's a published journalist in a major medio outlet, so I think that's enough for A7. Needs to go to AFD. Thank you. GedUK  15:04, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Bessborough House, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Ponsonby. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi can you see this article Attack on the Al-Habboubi Square (2020) . Hamaredha (talk) 21:27, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Ahmed Yusuf (Gamaliya), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations 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". 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 deleted 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. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 18:08, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article Ahmed Yusuf (Gamaliya) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 22:13, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm SiberianCat. On 7 January 2020, you moved a page I had created, Asterix and Obelix: The Silk Road to Draft: Asterix and Obelix: The Silk Road because the film had not yet commenced shooting (WP:NFF). After delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic, shooting is now underway in France (commenced on 12 April 2021). Can you please restore/approve/un-draft the page, as the film is no longer in pre-production. Or can I simply approve the page myself? I submitted the page for review, resulting in an automated template response advising me to wait up to 5 months. By the way, the English title of the film has been changed to Asterix & Obelix: The Middle Kingdom (in case you're wondering why the title is now different). Thank you.

Please do not add the {{Use mdy dates}} template without taking account of WP:CITEVAR and WP:CITESTYLE – if you are going to continue to do this, you are going to need to start using the cs1-dates parameter of the template (see template docs) at many articles so that you don't just change the ref date style at the article in violation of WP:RETAIN. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:09, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note that this didn't seem to be an issue for perhaps most of the articles to which you added the template – either the "simple" version of the template matched the established date ref style at the article, or the article had a hodgepodge of ref date format styles (and thus didn't have an "established" format style). But it was definitely an issue for some that already had an established ref date format style that the {{Use mdy dates}} template will "override" unless the cs1-dates parameter is used. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:58, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the technical improvements you made to the Jelica Vazzazz article. The categories you added to this article will come in handy when adding them to other similar articles I am working on and/or considering putting up. I put together that extremely simple stub so that it would actually be up online on Wikipedia as a motivation to keep doing more work on it, rather than just sitting on the material and coding that I have been collating and putting together, so yes, as per your recommendations, I plan on adding at least somewhat substantively (a couple of paragraphs?) to this article over the next few days. Vazazz seems to be a pretty important sportsfigure whose international reputation hasn't yet become commensurate with her actual contributions. QuakerIlK (talk) 13:34, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jmertel23, I appreciate your concern here. I have self-reported the COI so there is a track record at the time of article creation (in addition to your statement). The article is written using primary sources and should act as a good seed for future growth by the rest of the scientific community. Let me know, or edit, any statements if you see bias. Prof. Muller has over a decade of highly visible work which is not yet captured by this article, but can be extended immediately if necessary.

I am working to increase visibility of world renowned scientists on Wikipedia---famed scientists in physics and engineering are currently under-represented.
