Dolph Ziggler[edit]

The IP edit to Dolph Ziggler here isn't supported in the reference. The ref doesn't mention the Royal Rumble at all. The detail may be correct, but a new ref is needed for it. I reverted it along with the vandalism, but it seems the 7 edits are still pending, and that we bumped into each other. INeverCry 06:26, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Your reversion of the IP edit was completely correct, apologies for missing the lack of sourcing. I was there entirely to revert the image vandalism by the editor after the anon IP and didn't look further back. Euryalus (talk) 06:28, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
That same editor has vandalized the article with 2 accounts, Salah20002222 and Salah2222. INeverCry 06:38, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks, both blocked for repeated vandalism. Euryalus (talk) 11:56, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

OAAA OBIE Awards[edit]

Hello,

I have created the page "OAAA OBIE Awards" and it has been deleted. The reasoning provided is proposing there is not enough sources and that the award show is not a real award. This award show is highly prestigious in the out-of-home advertising industry. I work for the Outdoor Advertising Association of America and we would like to have this page created and published. Can you please provide me with further insight as to why this page was deleted and how I can make changes to have this page re-posted?

Thank you.

Hi, and thanks for the message. As a starting point I need to point out that Wikipedia strongly discourages people from writing articles about themseves, their employers or anything directly related to them, as they are likely to have an actual or perceived conflict of interest. If these Awards are notable enough for an article, it is likely that someone else unconnected with them will also think so and will create the article themselves. Note you are not prohibited from creatin the article just because you work for the organisers of the awards; but there is a risk it will be re-deleted or heavily changed.
On the article itself - it was an expired procedural deletion - that is, an apparently uncontroversial deletion because its failure to meet a specific criteria was evident and uncontested over a seven-ay period. The issue with the article was notability. To be included in Wikipedia, the topic of te article must be the subject of significant independent coverage in reliable secondary sources. In this case the only references for the Awards were primary sources - that is, weblinks set up by the Award organisers. If you wished to recreatethe article you would need to include eferences for the major facts in it, sourced from (say) mainstream media outlets, reliable fact-checked specialist journals and the like. This cannot be trivial or passing mentions like a paid advertisement of a simple list of winners - it needs to be significant coverage with some level of detail.
Sorry if all the above sounds overly bureaucratic. In case you do wish to recreate the article and have enough reliable secondary sources to do so, I've saved the latest deleted version at User:Mbb1184/OBIE so you have something to work from. Euryalus (talk) 19:53, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Need Stuff on Page[edit]

Need userpage up... Never requested it deleted. (JoeCool950 (talk) 06:04, 1 February 2014 (UTC))

Need to undo deletion. If I wanted it deleted, would have put a templete up, so it needs to be back up. (JoeCool950 (talk) 06:40, 1 February 2014 (UTC))
Just give me a link that has the stuff on there, so I can copy it back up, or put it back up. (JoeCool950 (talk) 06:43, 1 February 2014 (UTC))
Userpage needs to be restored. Thank you (JoeCool950 (talk) 19:54, 1 February 2014 (UTC))
You requested your userpage be deleted here. You seem to have a long history of asking for your userpage to be deleted then changing your mind. Have restored it again. Euryalus (talk) 20:01, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
That's true,or putting up a template, and then changing my mind. (JoeCool950 (talk) 20:06, 1 February 2014 (UTC))

March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive[edit]

It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:

  • This drive will introduce a new component to it; a point system. In a nutshell, older nominations are worth more points than newer nominations. The top 3 participants who have the points will be awarded the Golden, Silver, or Bronze Wikipedia Puzzle Piece Trophy, respectively.
  • Unlike the December 2013 Backlog Drive, earning an additional barnstar if you reached your goal has been removed.
  • The allowance to have insufficient reviews has been lowered to 2 before being disqualified.
  • An exception to the rule that all reviews must be completed before the deadline has been created.

Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.

More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.

I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!
