Oh, it's really my fault. So sorry for my stupid actions. I didn't know about that before. Sorry for my bad grammars Lam —Preceding undated comment added 07:10, 25 April 2018
Stubs
I regret that you are not fond of leaving stub templates on stub pages, seeing that most of your articles created are stubs. I understand your sentimental connection to stub pages that were created by you. You are no longer welcome on my talk page. Kind regards. DoctorSpeed (talk) 13:50, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
- @DoctorSpeed: I'm happy to see appropriate stub templates on stub pages: I'm less happy when someone adds {{stub}} at the top (wrong place - see WP:ORDER) of a page which already has a specific stub template in the right place, as you did to Lecrín (not an article I'd created).

Kim Timby
Thank you PamD, for sorting the Wikiprojects on Talk:Kim_Timby. Another editor DGG inserted the "News Release" template "news release|1=article|date=July 2018" and I have written to him asking him why he did so. Can you see anything in the article that might lead one to read it as a 'press release'? Thank you for your opinion and guidance on this. Jamesmcardle(talk) 10:05, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
- @Jamesmcardle: I watch DGG's talk page and that was what led me to the article - I'm waiting with interest to read his reply to you as it doesn't strike me that way, though I suppose that if you had been a paid editor commissioned to do a piece about her it might have come out much the same way! I've looked at the Ecole du Louvre website hoping to find the sort of profile of an academic which one can usually find, but failed: it would have been a useful "External link".
- I've just found a book by her listed in Worldcat. Worth adding to the bibliography, as books carry much more weight than journal articles. If you can find any reviews of it whether in scholarly or other sources, add them ... googling on "Timby" and "Lenticular" finds some useful-looking stuff like this one. Good luck. PamD 10:16, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
- @PamD: Thank you for getting back to me so quickly...and for the link to the Leonardo review...how had I missed it?! Yes, "3d and Animated Lenticular Photography: between utopia and entertainment" is listed in the bibliography in another edition "Between Utopia and Entertainment: A History of 3D and Animated Lenticular Photography". Perhaps as yet Timby has not produced enough books, but she is one of vey few researchers dealing with the history and social impact/uses of the lenticular image and of colour printing in magazines, work I've found very valuable to my own research. Not enough credibility is given to exhibition curatorship...perhaps I'd better add a section? Should I shorten the article? Perhaps in an effort to set out how the intellectual progression of this research topic from anthropology and history I have become long winded? Jamesmcardle(talk) 10:32, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
- @Jamesmcardle: I think splitting the book out shows it off better, and adding ISBN provides a link to Worldcat and other sources. I see you've used angled quotes for the titles of publications: Wikipedia doesn't. It can be useful to use the {{cite journal}} template, to format things in Wikipedia's chosen way. I think before making any major changes it would be good to wait for DGG to explain his thinking, though if you've got good sourced stuff about exhibition curatorship, especially material which discusses her rather than the exhibition, it would be useful to add. PamD 10:46, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
- @PamD: Thank you - I learn something every day on WP (though not much of the coding sinks in, I'll remember to use {{cite journal}}). Amongst the reviews of the exhibitions I will be able to find references to her role and will add as you advise, but I'll call it a night for now and see in the morning what DGG has to say. All the best, Jamesmcardle(talk) 10:52, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
Nomination of Southern Villages (Southern Highlands, New South Wales) for deletion
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Southern Villages (Southern Highlands, New South Wales) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 15:41, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
NPR Newsletter No.12 30 July 2018
|
Hello PamD, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
- June backlog drive
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.
- New technology, new rules
- New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
- Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
- Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.
- Editathons
- Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.
- The Signpost
- The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here.
Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 00:00, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
The Signpost: 31 July 2018
- From the editor: If only if
- Opinion: Wrestling with Wikipedia reality
- Discussion report: Wikipedias take action against EU copyright proposal, plus new user right proposals
- Featured content: Wikipedia's best content in images and prose
- Arbitration report: Status quo processes retained in two disputes
- Traffic report: Soccer, football, call it what you like – that and summer movies leave room for little else
- Technology report: New bots, new prefs
- Recent research: Different Wikipedias use different images; editing contests more successful than edit-a-thons
- Humour: It's all the same
- Essay: Wikipedia does not need you
The Telegraph
Hello PamD - I wanted to drop you a note about my undoing your edit at The Telegraph, so you didn't think I was rude. I understand your reasoning, but that's an issue with SIAs of this type in general and not just this one in particular. There was a suggestion at the (lengthy, probably inconclusive) RfC at Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation#RfC: INTDAB links to non-dab pages that would address the issue you raise, but it's going nowhere. Now the heat has died down on that RfC, I'm not sure what to do next - probably nothing! Regards, Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:17, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Shhhnotsoloud: Thanks for your note. It's a mess, then. A link to The Telegraph ought to show up as a link to a disambiguation page, whether for editors with the gadget which turns it orange, or for bots looking for links to dab pages, because that link will be an incorrect link which ought to be something else for the sake of the reader. If it goes to an SIA page, no such detection occurs. Perhaps The Telegraph should link to the Telegraph (disambiguation) and thence to the dab page, but that would inconvenience the reader by giving them an extra step to work through. Perhaps the gadget which detects links to dab pages should also detect, maybe in a different colour, links to SIA pages. I still reckon that SIA page is pretty much a dab page but am not going to waste energy arguing it. I'm starting to feel tired of Wikipedia and some of its structures, perhaps need to back off from editing for a while. PamD 08:58, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, it is a bit of a mess, and name pages have the same problem. Please stay with us! Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:17, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
