DYK for James Smart (police officer)

On 2 December 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article James Smart (police officer), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Chief Constable James Smart flooded police courts with over 17,000 cases to prove how impractical it was for home owners to light their own stairs? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/James Smart (police officer). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, James Smart (police officer)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

You are a remarkable editor in many ways. You would be a good administrator, in my opinion, and appear to be well qualified. You personify an administrator without tools and have gained my support already!

Article rename

Hello, you recently moved St Johns Shopping Centre to St John's Shopping Centre, Liverpool. Please can you indicate where the punctuation has come from? It isn't present on official name or branding. The Liverpool variant is the only one, that I can see, using that name styling specifically and therefore, i'd have thought holding the parent title would be sufficient, or at least, an WP:RM would have been advisable. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:36, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bungle: consistency with the commons category, St John's Shopping Centre, Perth and St John's Market. I have moved it back. Sahaib (talk) 18:59, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The commons category is also wrong, however this merely picked up the erroneous naming format of the time. The commons cat could/should perhaps just be renamed also. You didn't respond to the WP:RM suggestion, although I am on the fence whether it's worth pursuing, but i'd have thought it perhaps should have been considered initially.

Disambiguation link notification for December 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of McMaster University people, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ajax. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 19:57, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Amer Ghalib.

Orphaned non-free image File:William Shaw (Illinois politician).jpeg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:William Shaw (Illinois politician).jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:41, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Lord Garmadon

Hello, Sahaib. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Lord Garmadon".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:36, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

Hi Sahaib, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! – Joe (talk) 10:55, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Prods on academics

Hello Sahaib -- I notice that you've prodded a number of academics recently, at least three of which have been contested: Jennifer Hicks very clearly meets WP:PROF via citation profile, and I'd say probably Elena Gutierrez-Farewik and possibly Jakub Szefer too. It's usually best to send academics to Articles for deletion (and tag them with the academics and educators deletion sort) unless Google Scholar shows hardly any evidence of citations; anyone with >1000 citations in total or a single paper with >100 citations really needs a discussion, and in low-citation fields potentially much less than that. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 23:41, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Espresso Addict: it might be best if I avoid reviewing these types of pages but I think the problem with these articles is that all of them cite their own university(s) and when that is one of the only sources, it doesn't really show that they are notable. Sahaib (talk) 06:51, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Academics are specifically exempt from GNG. They need to pass WP:PROF, and if they do so, then their university profile/university-hosted CV is considered acceptable to write a short article on them. Until you understand how PROF works, then you should avoid patrolling articles on academics. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 17:39, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:December 2009 sports events in Russia

A tag has been placed on Category:December 2009 sports events in Russia indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:30, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
