Recent edit reversion

[edit source ]

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. ~~~~ S Philbrick (Talk) 13:41, 26 April 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Outline of Spain

[edit source ]

Hi Earth: A few quick comments --

  • On captions, you should only have a period at the end if it's a complete sentence. If it's a sentence fragment (like "View of the city of Ceuta.") then it shouldn't have a period. There are a lot of sentence fragments with periods here!
  • Check for missing articles: List of reptiles of Spain, for example, could go in your fauna section.
  • Get rid of the big blank spaces. For example, right now (on my computer screen anyway) there's a big gap after "The kingdom of Spain is a member of" in the "International organization membership". The picture of Gibraltar is causing this. Can it be moved somewhere else?
  • Lots of film directors and artists, but no notable novelists or poets?
  • I'd suggest reversing the "Spanish inventors and discoverers", putting it under "Spanish inventions and discoveries" rather than the other way around.

MeegsC (talk) 10:17, 27 August 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Done Thanks a lot for this! I've been thinking a lot about the article recently, to a point that I'm very very very [sic ] anxious about the FL nom. I will not nominate it until you, @The Transhumanist: and @Trailblazer101: give me the Green tickY.
Also, is there a tool to check for missing entries? I only added your reptiles proposal. Thanks! Earth605 (talk) 09:51, 28 August 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
[edit source ]

Above, you asked about tools for finding missing entries, that is, for making a list of all entries related to Spain that are not in the Outline of Spain.

The only way I know of for doing that is as follows:

  1. Make a list of all entries you can find on Spain, in a sandbox page. That would also likely include at least some entries that are in the outline. Those are hellishly time consuming and tedious to remove by hand, so...
  2. Use the list comparison feature of AWB (AutoWikiBrowser ) to compare the two lists (the outline page and the sandbox page) and have it make a list of all links unique to the sandbox page.

The hard part is gathering all the links you can in the first place to your sandbox page. Gathering links is the main activity of building an outline. Here are some suggestions:

  1. Install the userscript User:The Transhumanist/SearchSuite.js. It provides menu items to modify the search results, including alphabetization and wikification (it inserts the link brackets and list bullets for you), though you might have to use the old vector skin for it to work properly. It also can strip out everything but the links. Then you can use copy/paste to place them in a sandbox page.
  2. Using that script, do some searches, and copy/paste what you find that is relevant to the sandbox page...
    1. Search using the following search query:
      • intitle:"Spain"
    2. If that produces way too many irrelevant articles, you can try:
      • intitle:"of Spain"
    3. and...
      • intitle:"in Spain"
    4. and here's another...
      • intitle:"for Spain"
  3. To gather links from Category:Spain and its subcategories:
  4. Gather links from Spain-related navboxes (navigation templates)
    • Use AWB's make list feature to gather links from those templates (it has many link-gathering options to choose from). Come to think of it, you can gather links from categories with it too.
    • Copy and paste the list it created to your sandbox and add link brackets to them. Notepad++ or WikEd work great for doing this.
  5. Look over AWB's make list feature for other ways to gather the links you desire.
  6. Other places to look for links include:
    1. See also sections of articles
    2. External links sections of articles (for the outline's external link section)

Concerning related lists, in most cases there is no need to enter the links they contain into the outline. You can link to the lists instead:

Such links look cleaner if you pipe out the "List of" part, like this: Women's football clubs in Spain, which looks like this in the outline's editing page: [[List of women's football clubs in Spain|Women's football clubs in Spain]]

(Remember, you can remove the links from the list of lists above that already appear in the outline using AWB's compare lists feature.)

Keep in mind that there are also more general lists that have sections on Spain, such as List of deserts#Spain.

Rather than having a section in the outline for lists (it's bad form), it is best to include the links to such lists wherever they are most relevant in the outline, just like article links.

Be sure to include a link to each of the other Spain-related outlines:

Look over the other country outlines to familiarize yourself with their layout. Most of them match in format, including the order in which they present subjects, to facilitate easy comparison. The user can display two country outlines side by side to see how they differ in each area.

I hope the above suggestions help. Good luck. — The Transhumanist 11:47, 3 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Thanks for the suggestions! Could take a moment to review, and see if it complys with the FLC?
My BIGGEST fear is that it is not going to pass the FL nom. Earth605 (talk) 05:41, 8 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
@Earth605: A couple outlines have made featured list status. You could review their approval process to boost your confidence. During the approval process, FL editors will tell you what needs to be done to the outline to pass. All you have to do is comply. Good luck. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 11:13, 10 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
So, do you give the Outline the checkY? Earth605 (talk) 12:08, 10 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
@Earth605: Is the outline comprehensive? See the list above. Each item on the list should be marked "Done" or "N/A" (followed by the reason it shouldn't be included in the outline). The "Dones" are included in the outline. I should have run the list through AWB's list compare feature first, as that would have cut down on the amount of work checking the outline for links. Similar lists to the above can be made for intitle:"in Spain", intitle:"of Spain", and intitle:"Spain", using the userscript "SearchSuite", and those should definitely be run through AWB. SearchSuite can show search results as a list of links ready to be copied and pasted somewhere. That's how the above list was created for this thread. — The Transhumanist 22:16, 10 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
I took a look around by creating another link list (see below). It is clear that there are a lot of Spain-related articles missing from the outline. It is way too premature to nominate it for FL. — The Transhumanist 00:51, 11 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
I finished examining the list. I eliminated your huge years column. Many years are missing, and it is just impractical. It also doesn't have visual appeal. @The Transhumanist: Earth605 (talk) 09:53, 21 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
[edit source ]

A cursory look at the below list reveals there are a lot of article links missing from the outline.

I casually scanned the list and made some marks here and there: I've bolded some links that apparently are not included in the outline yet, and ticked others that I checked and found in the outline, so as not to duplicate effort in future passes of the list. The ticks were getting distracting, so I started removing links I came across that were already in the outline. (See this page's history).

Warning: This list has not been filtered through AWB's list compare feature, which can be used to strip out the links already in the outline (which would probably save a lot of time). — The Transhumanist 23:15, 10 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

General advice

[edit source ]

In the featured list department, they might suggest or even require that you remove "Spain" from headings, but that's not the way it is done in the outline department. You could politely explain that it is standard for outlines to include the subject name in headings for two main reasons:

  1. Many outlines are similar, especially so for country outlines. It becomes possible to forget which outline you are looking at, especially when comparing two outlines side by side.
  2. Outline sections are often the target of links. Having the subject included in the heading makes it clear what topic you've jumped to.

Just in case, — The Transhumanist 12:41, 3 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Thanks for the advice! Earth605 (talk) 05:29, 8 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi there, I have had to revert most of your additions to this set (your version here) because of the following reasons:

  • Per WP:DYKVAR, there should never be more than four biography hooks or more than two sport-related hooks in one set to maintain variety, and they should not be next to each other. This restriction can only be overturned with explicit consensus at WT:DYK, which only tends to be given out for special occasions. See WP:DYKSO. Eight of nine of your hooks were biographies, and all nine were sport-related.
  • When promoting, you must always pay attention to comments at the nomination. At Template:Did you know nominations/Ian Matakis, it was noted that the "image should definitely not be used per WP:DYKIMG". You promoted it with the image.
  • Similarly, you clearly did not look too hard at Template:Did you know nominations/OK-N, or you would have seen that the nominator wished it to be a double nomination with Champions of the Future, an article that has not yet been reviewed at DYK.

As I said, I have reverted your additions to the set, with the exception of one swapped nomination which is now in the queue. Feel free to re-build that set, but this time, please pay attention to the nominations, the promoting advice, and the prep-builder instructions. Thanks, ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:34, 29 August 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

One more thing: you may find it easier to use the WP:PSHAW script rather than manual promotions, because then you avoid any chance of incorrect formatting, as happened at Template:Did you know nominations/Bhupendra Silwal which you did not properly close. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:38, 29 August 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Yeah, I just installed the script like three minutes ago after doing the prep set. Earth605 (talk) 10:39, 29 August 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Thanks then!
This is unrelated, but why has my nom not been promoted yet? Can I ask somebody to do this? Earth605 (talk) 10:39, 29 August 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Hi Earth605, if your nomination has not been promoted yet it is likely that promoters find it uninteresting compared to others. There is no guarantee that DYK nominations will be successful, because we receive far more than we can handle. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:44, 29 August 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Theres issues with the entire dyk template

Wikipedia ads template edit

[edit source ]

@Earth605: Hi, I'm just wondering why you replaced the "Be bold" ad in this diff instead of just adding the Spain ad in one of the empty slots? signed, SpringProof talk 04:28, 23 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

The Be Bold ad is a still ad and wasn't very good. Also, in the template's talk page, there is a list of gif ads. I named the file according to the list. Both files have the same name except for .gif and .png.
If you want to create a gif version of the ad, go on! Earth605 (talk) 04:32, 23 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
@Earth605: I see! I don't know how to create a gif, so that's out of the question, haha. Anyone with {{Wikipedia ads|21}} would now get the Spain ad instead of the Be Bold ad. Not sure if that would actually be anybody. I've gone and removed ad 21 from {{Wikipedia ads generic}}. signed, SpringProof talk 04:50, 23 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Thanks! Earth605 (talk) 04:53, 23 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
@Earth605: Actually, it seems like there are other still ads in the template, so I'm going to move the Spain ad to another slot and replace the Be Bold ad. It doesn't look like being a gif is needed. The talk page doesn't have all of the ads. They're at Template:Wikipedia ads. signed, SpringProof talk 05:01, 23 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

A few more Outline of Spain comments

[edit source ]

Hi Earth: One thing I'll mention is that the FL process will require you to add references to a number of things you assert — for example:

  • 31st most populous country
  • Second largest country in Western Europe
  • Second highest country in Europe
  • ISO country and region codes
  • Time zones
  • etc.

Also, it's not clear what the measurements are beside the neighbouring countries (i.e. where it says "Portugal 1,214 km"). Is that the length of the shared border? MeegsC (talk) 21:45, 4 October 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Please re-review. There are two sentences in two citations which use the word, but fail to demonstrate the required WP:SIGCOV. There is no independent standard for WP:NRIVALRY articles.

Full disclosure, this article is part of an active SPI re a banned user who creates unsourced college football rivalry articles. UW Dawgs (talk) 21:03, 31 October 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Oh, ****. I did not know about the SPI thing... I'm not really into searching sources that are very off-topic to me (I specialize in editing and writing articles about Spain). I'll give it a try though:
[1] (New York Times) [2] (Wisconsin Badgers) [3] (newspaper)

LLM decline

[edit source ]

Hello, regarding Draft:Fine and Dandy (horse), I don't know why you chose the "AI-generated" decline notice. Sure there were some uncited statements, but this method of citation is perfectly acceptable (albeit annoying for the current internet age) to use the newspaper name and issue/page in plain text. Accusing folks of their writing being AI-generated can be seen as an insult. Make sure you know the obvious tells of AI generated text (url having chatgpt in the source, source not supporting the text, especially with promotional language) before marking it as such. Here is an example I just found: Draft:Sociologica. -- Recon rabbit 16:04, 5 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I declined it from personal experience, as I promoted an AI article once, and the admin's rationale was that two refs were made up, when I came with your reasoning. Thanks though! Earth605 talk 17:27, 5 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Review

Hello, a user created an article that I will publish soon. Although I am happy about it, they moved the article to draft because it was created by an AI machine. I rewrote the article. If you have free time, can I send it to you? Kajmer05 (talk) 19:50, 15 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Voltio - notability

[edit source ]

I was pinged and I see you've insisted that this company is notable. I was going to put an AfD on it but I thought you might be able to point to sources that meet GNG/WP:NCORP criteria quickly, in which case I'll take that notice off. I've done an analysis of the sourcing in the article. Since this is is a company, GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on and/or about the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject.

What that means in plain language is that, purely from a notability perspective, we want to see sourcing where the journalist has written something original based on independent opinion/analsys and not just regurgitating information from the company or from interviews. Not saying that if an article dares to include a quote it cannot be used to establish notability, but when we take out that quote, there must be sufficient in-depth information and original content remaining to meet the criteria.

Here's how the sourcing stacks up:

There isn't a single source that contains independent content. Can you find something that meets GNG/NCORP criteria? HighKing ++ 13:44, 22 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
  • This source that you called "a profile of an insurance company" meets GNG and NCORP. What is better than a company talking about a company?
This is another company talking about it They talk about electricity in general. Not PR. I mean, they mention other carsharing companies! Earth605 talk 06:01, 27 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
  • Saying "these sources meet GNG/NCORP" without pointing to the specific paragraphs/content which you believe contains sufficient in-depth independent content is far too vague.
Nevertheless, the first source is from an insurance "partner" company (advertising car insurance) with a profile of Voltio. The source contains zero "independent content" because all of the information is from the Voltio website. Where is the independent content? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you appear to want to rely on this source because ... it is a "different" unconnected company to Voltio. This is not a correct interpretation of GNG/NCORP. Additionally, even if the content was arguably independent, which is isn't, there are what ... 7 sentences? ... about the company? This source fails both ORGIND and CORPDEPTH.
The second source is another "partner" company which promotes an electric car charging network and also has no "independent content", simply regurgitating PR about the company joining the "Convenio de Colaboración" with Madrid. You can find the same PR in multiple other articles all sourced back to Voltio and/or the Comunidad de Madrid. This is also not "independent content".
I've looked at all the sources already and I've also tried to find sources myself, including research report. I cannot find any. If you wish to propose other sources, can you identify those paragraphs or parts that you believe meets ORGIND (independent content)? HighKing ++ 18:54, 27 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

New page reviewer granted

[edit source ]

Hi Earth605, 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:

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! signed, Rosguill talk 15:53, 14 February 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

NPP and speedy deletion

[edit source ]

Hi there, and welcome to NPP! I noticed you recently nominated List of US Navy Ships for speedy deletion. then marked it as reviewed. It's best not to mark articles tagged for speedy deletion as reviewed, in case an administrator declines the tag. For example, they might decline a G4 if the article isn’t similar enough to the one previously deleted. That doesn’t necessarily mean the article meets inclusion standards—it just means it doesn’t qualify for speedy deletion. Conversely, if an article is nominated for deletion at AfD, it’s fine to mark it as reviewed, since the discussion will determine notability. If it passes AfD, it’s good to go; if it fails, it’ll be deleted. I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello Earth605,

New Page Review queue November 2025 - May 2026

Backlog update

At the time of this message, there are 15,282 articles and 32,951 redirects awaiting review.

After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.

2024 and 2025 NPP Awards

JTtheOG was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.

Hey man im josh and MPGuy2824 won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.

Overall in 2024, one Platinum, two Gold, eight Silver, 12 Bronze and 45 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 66 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year. In 2025, one Platinum, ten Silver, 13 Bronze and 38 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 38 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year.

BoyTheKingCanDance , Rosiestep , SunDawn , and Vanderwaalforces were inducted into the NPP Hall of Fame for having two separate years of 2,000+ article reviews.

January–February backlog drive

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to JTtheOG , who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

May backlog drive

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026.

PageTriage

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.
