@Spiritletters: - you've still got 2 wikipedia references, and Discogs is a non-reliable, non-independent source. The band's own site can be referenced for some things, but so that you're aware, it won't help prove that they're notable (as it obviously can't be independent). Your first source is dead-linking, and it looks like it would be quite key, so that would be worth checking. Nosebagbear (talk) 10:53, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
My reply
1.Thank you for your response. However. Discogs is notorious used throughout wiki pages as the sole reference for thousands of pages. Why is it singled out as a issue here?
2. The first source that is dead-linking was not dead linking on the original draft date for this article was submitted and wiki is aware of this. It was suspiciously deleted by the san diego reader with malicious intent to harm the drafting of this page. The San Diego Reader must be involved with wiki in some way as this publication has maliciously attack, slandered and attempted to defame The subject of this draft.See /info/en/?search=Michael_Hemmingson publishing section regarding The Toven. Obviously this was Michael's last published story was regarding The Toven and he passed away three days later. Jay Allen Sanford is the ring leader and has been for years. In fact, it was him that deleted the link you refer to as key. We plan to get to the truth.
Again I asked, since link one was deleted how do we address this with the reader who committed a unethical and despicable act by deleting it?01:58, 10 March 2020 (UTC) Spiritletters ( talk)

Hello, Nosebagbear. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Rotimi Segun".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 18:49, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Concerning the deletion of the "Garrett relation" article, what would need to change to make it meet the Wikipedia guidelines?
The comments suggest that the post is original research, which is false. C.f. the 7 first (of many more) links provided as source:
1) Garrett, Timothy J. (2011-02-01). "Are there basic physical constraints on future anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide?". Climatic Change. 104 (3): 437–455. arXiv:0811.1855. doi:10.1007/s10584-009-9717-9. ISSN 1573-1480. 2) Garrett, T. J. (2012-01-05). "No way out? The double-bind in seeking global prosperity alongside mitigated climate change". Earth System Dynamics. 3 (1): 1–17. Bibcode:2012ESD.....3....1G. doi:10.5194/esd-3-1-2012. ISSN 2190-4979. 3) Garrett (2011). "How persistent is civilization growth?". arXiv:1101.5635v1 [physics.soc-ph]. 4) Maddison, Angus (2007). The world economy volume 1: A millennial perspective volume 2: Historical statistics. Academic Foundation. 5)Garrett, Timothy J. (2014). "Long-run evolution of the global economy: 1. Physical basis". Earth's Future. 2 (3): 127–151. arXiv:1306.3554. Bibcode:2014EaFut...2..127G. doi:10.1002/2013EF000171. ISSN 2328-4277. 6) "The long run evolution of the global economy - Part 2: Hindcasts of Innovation and growth" (PDF). www.earth-syst-dynam.net. Retrieved 2019-01-17. 7) Nolthenius, Richard (March 2018). "Civilization as a Thermodynamic System: Connecting Energy and Economics" (PDF).
Sure some links are faulty and would require updating, yet the research is peer-reviewed and making its way to economics. C.f. for example the following paper that cites Tim Garrett:
"Economics for the future – Beyond the superorganism" https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolecon.2019.106520 by Nathan J. Hagens https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921800919310067#bib0210
Correlation does not imply causation, yet many hints suggest that GDP is unfortunately facilitated by energy, c.f. in particular the paper above (and more sources cited in that paper) but also discussed at length in Tim Garrett's papers.
Tim Garrett is also working together with Steve Keen, an economist working on energy, for more interdisciplinary, c.f.: https://www.patreon.com/posts/model-start-to-26875256
This partnership also led Steve Keen to coin the following quote: "Labour without energy is a corpse; capital without energy is a sculpture."
Economics touches numerous fields, in particular climate change these days (mostly via the energy channel). Interdisciplinary is thus a necessity and could shed light on blind spots that the discipline of economics may have. Energy is one such blind spot Tim Garrett's work helped uncover. In that sense, the Wikipedia page was a very helpful resource. (I noticed the deletion of the page no less than 15 days later as I refer to it regularly.)
It is also discussed that the article is self-promotion, which I disagree with in the same way that I do not see the Euler's formula as being a self-promotion of Euler. Or a more recent example, the Keeling curve.
If the name is the issue, I'm sure one could work toward finding an alternative naming. In any case, I am willing to help resolve any issues.
Best, Gordonschuecker ( talk) 00:39, 15 August 2020 (UTC) mathematician and economist.
Yes, please write up the article you proposed for The Signpost. A basic description of the process, goals etc would be great. I've read most of the 3 pages you linked to, so I purposely did not write "a simple description". You might consider getting 3-4 *short* reactions from people who discussed the matter on those pages, but please don't start a "here are the two sides of the issue" type of a discussion, for one thing there are likely to be several sides of the issue. A short paragraph from somebody at T&S might be ok, but that's up to you. Please give me an extra couple of days before deadline to review and edit it - perhaps make some suggestions. Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. Thanks. Smallbones( smalltalk) 03:06, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
Part II to "Correlation of energy and GDP is causation as suggested by numerous papers and seeking to help restore the Wikipedia page of the "Garrett's relation""
You would need much more secondary coverage that covered this (as opposed to small facets) in depth, most likely including secondary coverage (whether than be (meta)reviews or mainstream news coverage).
Doing a little research, I have found plenty of secondary coverage, c.f.:
"Modelling civilization as ‘heat engine’ could improve climate predictions" https://physicsworld.com/a/modelling-civilization-as-heat-engine-could-improve-climate-predictions/
"Energy Could Hold the Key to Predicting Global Growth" https://www.institutionalinvestor.com/article/b14zbd705jv9cw/energy-could-hold-the-key-to-predicting-global-growth#.UXhZRaWkZUs
And there are a lot more on Tim's pages, c.f. here: http://www.inscc.utah.edu/~tgarrett/Economics/Media.html
and here: http://www.inscc.utah.edu/~tgarrett/Economics_modeling.html
Wikipedia rarely covers new topics
Please note that the concepts have been around for over ten years now.
we much more summarise things already considered in significant detail by multiple researchers.
Checking on Google Scholar, one can find ample citations, for example 28 for "Long‐run evolution of the global economy: 1. Physical basis".
See for example especially this paper: "A Biophysical Perspective of IPCC Integrated Energy Modelling" https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/11/4/839
with the following quote from its abstract: The biophysical economics perspective is that GDP and productivity growth are in fact emergent parameters from the economic-biophysical system. If future energy systems were to possess worse biophysical performance characteristics, we would expect lower productivity and economic growth, and therefore, the price of reaching emission targets may be significantly costlier than projected.
Or
The Dynamics of Human Society Evolution: An Energetics Approach https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.04400
If one digs further, I'm sure many more could be found.
Would it be possible to establish a roadmap to bring the post back online? Say - x article citations needed - y paper citations needed - Rewrite parts that are particularly problematic? - Change the name of the Wikipedia article? (Although I stand by my opinion that this would make the Wikipedia article more difficult to find, in the same way that I wouldn't know how to find the Keeling Curve if using the name of the author would have been problematic as well.)
If you or any of the persons having expressed concern over the article could provide some guidlines, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I realise this was a couple of years ago so apologies if you already know this. Please refrain from using purely numeric date formats on Wikipedia, as you did on Stellina. A date written as 01/02/03 means 1 February 2003 to a European, 2 January 2003 to an American or 3 February 2001 to a Japanese. Rather, use one of the date formats that is standard across Wikipedia: 18 July 2024 for articles on British/European topics, July 18, 2024 for articles on American topics, otherwise just keep it consistent throughout the article.

Hi Nosebagbear, I've noticed that you decided to remove the CSD tag I placed on Drunk History Australia. I realise that Drunk History actually exists, but the article contains several instances of unfinished text in the "Episodes" section.

What kind of experience do you recommend getting before being able to get the userfication going? I'm unfortunately quite busy, would love to contribute, but I'm not sure where my expertise could be used anyway? If I remember correctly, climate change topics in general are especially thorny?
Is there any possibility to get the userfication going with kind of your "supervision" to make sure the resulting Wikipedia page meets all the quality criteria? I've also contacted Richard Nolthenius and he would be willing to help too. Though he has the same issue than I have in having a "single purpose account" for now.

This is Richard Nolthenius here, aka SalviaStellarum. I don't know Gordon, but we've now exchanged an email. What we have in common is an interest in the observed economics/energy consumption relation discovered by Garrett, and which I decided needed a name, and gave it the name "The Garrett Relation", with no prompting from Tim. Indeed, I've never met Tim or talked with him, but we've now exchanged emails over the past couple of years. It's highly unfortunate that despite a series of peer reviewed publications from Garrett and now with the help of economist Steve Keen and mathematician Matteus Grasselli ( https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0237672), and my own informally published look at confirmations in the data, that the Wikipedia article was so summarily taken down for unclear reasons that apparently have nothing to do with the merits of the science. I admire Wikipedia's dynamic updating of information on a topic, and let the best science win. I don't think taking down "The Garrett Relation" article serves the betterment of knowledge. If conventional economists have intellectual ammunition sufficient to wreck the relation, let them unload on it in the article itself, in the sunlight and fresh air of good scholarship. And on the subject of userification and "single purpose", it would seem to me that anyone relatively new to Wikipedia will find themselves here and editing or creating because of a single subject of interest. I don't pretend to be a generalist contributor to wide ranging Wiki articles. I too am quite busy; my duties are to Cabrillo College and my students, primarily.

Hi Nosebagbear, regarding the no consensus assessment on the above AfD, the article suggests that the subject is the CEO of the Quaker Oats Company, a role which does not exist as it is a division of PepsiCo which has a different CEO. There is no online source that supports this CEO claim, while there are several that state the subject is in fact the General Manager of this PepsiCo division. Consensus might instead be reached around notability and substantiation of the CEO claim. The article is not a credible source of information and the information in it is inaccurate. One of the 6 keep votes counted was submitted by the original author of the article, reducing the number of credible keep votes to 5, and credible delete votes to 6.

Hi there - just checking, did you complete the deletion on Ioke (programming language) after closing the AfD? The page is still there, and I don't see any indication that the softdelete was undone? - The Bushranger One ping only 08:43, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello, why were all of my edits at Fred Kirschenmann erased? The areas that were at issue were lists of his his awards and his appearance in a film. I’m not sure they fell under the category of copyright violation. I also don’t understand why there is still a request for deletion on the page. I don’t see how it is not encyclopedic. If there was controversy about him in any mainstream news source, I would have added it. So far in my research he truly is what I wrote: one of the most celebrated and pioneering organic farmers in the United States. This is not some PR stunt, it is how he is regularly described in mainstream major US newspapers and media. Thank you. Thriley ( talk) 13:55, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello Nosebagbear,
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

10 | Utopes ( talk) | 3,958 | Patrol Page Curation |
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

I'll be honest: I don't think the prospects are good for an RfC passing on using RfA as a mechanism for administrator review. I think opposes will again come from those who prefer a separate framework for administrator review, those who think without prior resignation, the process is toothless, and those who think anyone doing this voluntarily is likely to pass, making the whole process a waste of time. The key questions to ask are what problem is being solved, how significant is the problem, how effective and efficient is the proposed solution, and is there a net benefit, given the solution's resulting impact and costs, including opportunity costs? isaacl ( talk) 15:08, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

I see that you have unblocked User:Bilto74811 based on this discussion at ANI [1]. I have been repeatedly harassed by this user (see [2], [3], [4]), he was not banned for only six months, but indefinitely for disruptive editing [5], and I find the closure premature. I was not even aware of the discussion and I find it highly irregular that a blocked user was allowed to post directly to ANI to request an unblock. Furthermore, he's right back editing the articles he was banned for being disruptive at [6], [7].-- Ermenrich ( talk) 15:38, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Many thanks for responding to me on this. I did attempt to contact the original editor, Hogyn Lleol, many years ago with those Google Docs background documents but did not get a response to that at the time. Hence I would be none the wiser if he would be interested. If he were then I imagine it would be best for him to take it on and I would be happy to provide information as required.
Failing that you mentioned: 'but for other changes, I can instead run you through how to make edit requests and the best means of doing so, if that is of interest.'
Yes it would be of interest and thanks for the offer. I will also take a more detailed look at the general guidance offered for style, referencing sources etc. Do you require an email address or do we conduct conversations here on this page? The reason I am concerned is that the entry is referenced by a surprising range of contacts both personal and professional and hence wish to get it rectified.

Here is fine if you want to ask me any questions. Nosebagbear ( talk) 19:48, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
Hello Nosebagbear, would you mind giving Bilto74811 (whom you unblocked following a decision at AN) a few points on not bludgeoning discussions? I'm specifically concerned about this rfc, where you can see that almost all posts have been made by Bilto in the forms of walls of text. I tried to tell them about bludgeoning [8], but they rejected my advice [9]. I'll note the problem is not limited to Talk:Moses, but seems to be the general way that Bilto handles all discussions, which of course drives people away (see also Talk:Christianity#Lede mythology parity and any number of discussions at Talk:The Exodus.-- Ermenrich ( talk) 12:38, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
Hello Nosebagbear,
Sorry to bother you, but I am not very good at dealing with admin matters on other users, but I have a concern now that I see others expressing their discomfort with Bilto74811. I concur with @ Ermenrich:'s assessment of the situation as I was in the Moses Talk page he refers to and I eventually checked out of those conversations because of the way Bilto74811 interacted with me and others there. Quite a lot of personal insults from his direction towards me and anyone who did not share his agenda - that everything religious has to be labeled "myth" (see the talk pages Ermenrich referenced). The sad part is that I was arguing for "legend", and he treated me like I was some sort of fundamentalist. He has continued his insults and side remarks for at least 4 days days even after I was not longer talking in the talk pages from 19 April 2021 (my last comment [10]) to today 23 April 2021 (his last comment [11] - in the current rfc section [12]). Why mention me after I had left the talk page on the previous section on the talk and after 4 days had passed?
Search for how many mentions by him of me there are in that time frame. As can be seen, even after I stopped interacting with the talk page completely, he referenced me about 20 times in his interactions with others in a derogatory or condescending fashion much of the time and in pinging me in that way as well. He even made some weird attempt to force or pressure a vote from me when I was already checked out of the talk page because he was not getting support from anyone and was getting impatient. [13]. It makes no sense. Essentially he was literally going to force his disputed edit and impose his view without consensus - despite me telling him about WP:NOCONSENSUS Wikipedia policy the day before in the talk page in very last comment [14]. And in fact he did just that - he violated wikipedia policy the next day [15]. This was already despite already 2 talk sections (at that point) not supporting his edit. As you can see, I had to revert him and got into an edit war over it.
All of this happened just a 2-3 days ago. So its very recent.
Very odd and I would say abusive or obsessive behavior if not some type of bullying is involved here and ignoring Wikipedia policy. Seems to have WP:OWN issues on the Moses article and talk, the Exodus article and talk, and perhaps now in the Myth article if you look at the history of those pages. He does not WP:DROPTHESTICK like everyone else does and he certainly WP:STONEWALLs discussions as you can see with the last 3 sections on the Moses talk [16] with the amount of commentary and opinion he generates over one word - "myth". Never had this kind of obsessive experience on wikipedia before.
Please note that I have never interacted with Bilto74811 prior to a few weeks ago (March 30 2021). He went to my talk page at the beginning [17] and then he took it to the Moses article (summary of events in paragraph above). What can we do about this? Can you escalate this since you unblocked him? Its unacceptable on so many levels and does show significant lack of restraint when dealing with diverse editors on wikipedia. This is not normal.

Welcome to the eighteenth newsletter from the Growth team!
The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.
" Add a link" is now being tested in production and is nearing release on our four pilot wikis (Arabic, Czech, Vietnamese, and Bengali Wikipedias). We'll be doing final tests this week and next week, and then plan to deploy to the four wikis either during May 24 week, or May 31 week. After two weeks, we will analyze the initial data to identify any problems or trends. We expect that this feature will engage new kinds of newcomers in easy and successful edits. If things are going well after four weeks, we'll progressively deploy it to the wikis with Growth features.
We are working on project to allow communities to manage the configuration of the Growth features on their own. In the past, communities have needed to work directly with the Growth team to set up and alter the features. We plan to put this capability in the hands of administrators, through an easy-to-use form, so that the features can be easily tailored to fit the needs of each community. While we developed it initially for Growth features, we think this approach could have uses in other features as well. We'll be trying this on our pilot wikis in the coming weeks, and then we'll bring it to all Growth wikis soon after. We hope you check out the project page and add any of your thoughts to the talk page.
