Ways to improve Ben Hornok

Hello, Masohpotato,

Thank you for creating Ben Hornok.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Hello there, I am a new page reviewer. I do not think the person meets the criteria for WP:NPOL. You are also adding bare URLs Please follow the guidelines in WP:CS. The article may be deleted if you cannot show that the person is notable. You may want to check for relevant news articles] about Ben Hornok.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Lightburst}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Lightburst ( talk) 00:20, 19 August 2023 (UTC) reply

I am confused as to what you mean. Wp:NPOL states "Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels." [are notable]. Hornok is a member of the Wyoming House of Representatives (a legislative body at the statewide level), and thus is notable. I have removed the notability issue tag from the article.

Why did you remove the picture? KingTheD ( talk) 03:24, 29 August 2023 (UTC) reply

The state of Oregon copyrights its pictures. Same with New York. You cannot upload pictures taken by them, as that goes against Wikipedia's policies. Masohpotato ( talk) 03:25, 29 August 2023 (UTC) reply
Well then at least say that in the edit description. It's not that complicated. KingTheD ( talk) 03:30, 29 August 2023 (UTC) reply
Just as you can use the picture of a member of the U.S. Senate or U.S. House of Representatives published by the government, you can use the picture of a member of state government published by the state government. KingTheD ( talk) 03:32, 29 August 2023 (UTC) reply
First, I put a message on your commons talk page, because that is where this was happening. I don't think the edit description matters too much. As for your second message, I'm not really sure what you mean. See https://oregon.gov/ODOT/about/documents/ODOT-Library-Copyright.pdf for more on copyright law. It does not matter that it was state government that took the picture, it is still not allowed. Masohpotato ( talk) 21:54, 29 August 2023 (UTC) reply


At Mike Kirkland (politician), you wrote that his residence is Scottsboro, Alabama, citing this source. However, his bio there only lists Scottsboro as his district office, not his residence. Do you have a source to support that he lives there? Thanks. Magnolia677 ( talk) 19:30, 9 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Yes this news article says he is a member of a church in the city. http://jcsentinel.com/feature_story/article_9f9cd1b6-05ac-11ec-8bc0-07de15f74250.html Masohpotato ( talk) 23:50, 9 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Thanks for your contributions to Andrei Murariu. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Jessica Fay moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Jessica Fay, is not suitable as written to remain published. Right now the person does not appear to pass WP:NPOL. we needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. ( ?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed ( verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Jessica Fay. This is known as a " cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Liz Read!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on List of years in Oregon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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 deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Deletion discussion about Progress Ridge Town Square

Hello Masohpotato, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Progress Ridge Town Square, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Progress Ridge Town Square.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|North8000}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
