Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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 removed without delay.

Hi Phil! Hope you are well and happy. Long time!
I wonder if Haikou Tower is really underway. I will check. The Guoxing biz district is really getting on. The image shows a few of the many buildings now on Guoxing.
Best, Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 04:38, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the move. Can you also move the talk page? Thanks. Vaselineeeeeeee ★★★ 20:18, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
Found it! See the port 100m southwest? They are making that to move supplies there I guess. It's new. Anyhow, no pics of the island yet, unfortunately, but I can trace one from other pics and start the article. Cheers, and thanks for the commons feedback on the Haikou Official Nafflem. :) Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 06:03, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
There is Haikou New Port which is old. There is now Haikou Port New Seaport which is new. (They were thinking of naming it "Haikou New Port Sea Port of Haikou Port of the Sea Port Corporation Concern Limited Company Group", but there is already a port named that.) :)
Anyhow, Haikou Port New Seaport may be part of South Port, the port west of Haikou. South Port, by the way, is the one that serves both Hainan Western Ring Railway and Hainan Western Ring High-Speed Railway. No wonder everyone is so confused.
I'm off to drink a bottle of port. A sudden craving. :) Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 04:23, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Could sure use your input to help get that wrapped up. I worry it will end up in dozens of infobox. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 21:11, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello Philg88,
Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from Chinese to English Wikipedia?
This would involve evaluating a translated article on the English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original Chinese article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:
There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including Chinese , using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from Chinese. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.
If you can help out, that would be great. Here's a sample of the articles that need checking:
All you have to do, is compare the English article to the Chinese article, and mark it "Pass" or "Fail" (templates {{ Pass}} and {{ Fail}} may be useful). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then marking it "Pass", that's even better, but it isn't required.)
If you can help, please let me know. Thanks! Mathglot ( talk) 22:26, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

Did you know about Restrictions on geographic data in China? Holy moly. I have been adding coords to articles and photos for years. I had no idea. I just noticed a difference between openstreetmaps and another googlemaps mirror's coords, and links brought me to that article. I sure hope I'm not in trouble. I only meant to help people find that concert hall etc. Thoughts? Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 18:28, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you commented on (2 RfCs, actually, one less than six months ago and another a year ago). The new RfC is at:
Specifically, it asks that "religion = none" be allowed in the infobox.
The first RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was "unambiguously in favour of omitting the parameter altogether for 'none' " and despite the RfC title, additionally found that "There's no obvious reason why this would not apply to historical or fictional characters, institutions etc.", and that nonreligions listed in the religion entry should be removed when found "in any article".
The second RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was that the "in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the Religion= parameter of the infobox.".
Note: I am informing everyone who commented on the above RfCs, whether they supported or opposed the final consensus. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 04:24, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello!
I was using the article "Poker Probability (Texas Hold'em)" as study material for my high school project on combinatorics and its usage in various fields. The problem is it got deleted on 13th June http://deletionpedia.org/en/Poker_probability_(Texas_hold_%27em) Could you please give me access to a copy of the deleted article?

Thanks for supporting my run for administrator. I am honored and grateful. ) Cullen328 Let's discuss it 00:09, 24 July 2017 (UTC) |
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Gipmochi is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gipmochi until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
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. Kautilya3 ( talk) 12:46, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

With this edit (Revision as of 08:19, 31 January 2016) you removed the inline attribution requited by the guideline WP:Plagiarism. The Earwig's Copyvio Detector detects a 91.5% likelihood that most of the text was copied from the DNB article.
Can you remember, or look in your contribution history to see, if you have altered any other article to remove the attribution? If so please fix them. -- PBS ( talk) 12:59, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for adding coordinates in your edit (
Special:Diff/615249910)! The only bad news about it is that your coordinates appear screwed up by Chinese obfuscation, namely
GCJ-02(Google Map?). (Wikipedia's geodata all use
WGS84.) Please consider cross-checking these coordinates on satellite imagery or with OSM. If the coordinates you got appear wrong, you can try feeding it through
this gadget (or
its web version). Thanks again. --

Can you tell me what this map says? I think it shows Yelu Dashi's moves from the falling Liao dynasty to Kedun to Emil to Balasaghun to Samarkand(?) and his new empire at the time of his death. It is valuable because his movements are hard to explain in prose. I hesitate to label it because I can't read it. The thing I guess is Samarkand or Qatwan has a zhong in it and 1142 instead of 1141. Thanks. Benjamin Trovato ( talk) 21:33, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I am working on the wikiproject Bristol cleanup listing and started looking at the "dubious-discuss" tag on Martin Pring. I note you added the tag and a comment on the talk page back in Sept 2016. No one has argued with your comment that it should be the English East India Company, rather than the Dutch East Indies Company. You suggest you have sources to support it - could you just change it?— Rod talk 20:02, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Did you intend to remove the subsection heading that I added? It's there to make it easier to edit the section from the WP:RM page. Dicklyon ( talk) 16:50, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi, Phil, it seems you were the person who was handled to relocation of this template from {{ Human-centric}} to {{ Anthropocentric}} following a request from an IP editor to do so. I wanted to ask that this be reverted back to "Human-centric" (even though this is kind of a weird and maybe clumsy way of saying the same thing)... This is because although I completely agree that "anthropocentric" is the scientifically correct term be be using here, a sizable proportion of Wikipedia's readership just ain't gonna know what big long words like that which they have never seen before actually mean. "Human-centric", which makes me cringe a bit even to type it, strikes me as the word we really need to be using here: it isn't in any sense truly incorrect, it is just more "pedestrian" and I think that "anthropocentric" is overly recondite for template use. And yes, I know there is a link to the word "anthropocentric", but the odds of a casual reader not recognizing the tern & bothering to clink on that link I think you will agree are next to zero, and so the tag will be ignored. I have witnessed other editors actually type "human-centric" more than once when referring to this kind of problem, and have never yet seen anyone type "anthropocentric" on a talk page anywhere to express the sentiment summarized by this template. Could we get it turned back to "human-centric" again, even if it sounds wrong to the ears of scientists and other professionals? Our audience is not us, and we need to accommodate them as often as possible when it is reasonable to do so. I think this is probably one of those times. Thanks for considering my request!

Hi Philg88,
I'm writing to ask whether you would consider having a look at the article. I'm aware that you've been involved with a few PRs before. I've given it a major rewrite and complete overhaul. I began working on the article late October when it looked like this and somehow ended up rewriting the whole thing and aiming for potentially FA. This isn't a process I've been through before, but I have been reading the reviews here in preparation, and am familiar with FAC demands. I would very much appreciate a fresh set of eyes and happily address any concerns you may have.
Thanks! Pseud 14 ( talk) 13:34, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi Philg88. Just want to note that i have changed your two edits yesterday to Erith and Bess of Hardwick, as they were wrong. Henry VIII granted the former to the Dowager Countess of Shrewsbury who was alive at the same time as he ~ Bess's husband, the 6th Earl, died fortythree years after Henry. The 4th Earl was indeed also called George Talbot, and his second wife was also Elizabeth; confusing, i know. Happy days, Lindsay Hello 09:51, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
