Hi Tokyogirl79, sorry if we're playing "edit conflict tag"(why doesn't wikip have an article on this:)) with Fish Cheeks, i found it in this deletion log and reckon it definitely deserves saving. ps. i have also recently created an article on Tan's book which contains it, The Opposite of Fate: A Book of Musings. pps. should we add fishy to Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/27 as an upgraded article? ppps. should the article be italicised, in line with other stories/books? pppps. i think thats enough postscripts Coolabahapple ( talk) 05:55, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I wanted to move the List of awards and nominations received by 5 Seconds Of Summer to List of awards and nominations received by 5 Seconds of Summer because this is the correct spelling of the band's name (with a lowercased o in "of"). However, this was not possible, because the title List of awards and nominations received by 5 Seconds of Summer contains a redirect on the band's article and the page has been protected by you... It would be great if you could help. UltraRainbows ( talk) 16:37, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Tokyogirl79, would you like to be on the Arbitration Committee? They are accepting nominations through 23:59, 15 November (UTC). I think you would be a great arbitrator -- you are a crack admin, very experienced and very wiki-knowledgeable, very fair, but never afraid to make the right tough call when necessary. I encourage you to nominate yourself. If, of course, your time would permit participation in ArbCom. Softlavender ( talk) 08:27, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi Tokyogirl79,
I'm completely new to Wiki and page creations. I recently created the page for Ruckus Garvey (who is actually me), and was surprised when it got deleted, especially for the reasons given.
As i don't see anyone creating a page for me anytime soon, please let me know how I can get this back up?
Thanks

Hello,
Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

Hi ReaderofthePack.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi ReaderofthePack,
As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).
Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.
Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.
It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

Hi Tokyogirl, i have just created an article on a cute book - The Dog Who Had Kittens (yes i know i need to add a plot summary, ditto all my other recent book articles ), its won some awards but none of them have wikiarticles, just wondering if i should add them to my "Things that need to go on wiki" pile or maybe the organisations that run them?

The Challenge Series is a current drive on English Wikipedia to encourage article improvements and creations globally through a series of 50,000/10,000/1000 Challenges for different regions, countries and topics. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are invited to participate.
This may be at no more than a tangent to the recent discussions about criteria for speedy-deletion of self-published books, but there is an interesting exchange about their cataloguing - or lack of it - in the NY Review of Books: [1].

Hello, Tokyogirl79. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
I did work on it ( here). It's a work in progress. Obviously, I can't do everything on my own, so I'm hoping when the article is restored, there can be more users who can work collaboratively in making it better. So I think it's worth another shot. I also don't mind if it immediately heads to another AfD. Lots of things have changed since August 1, and the Wikipedia community should be able to reassess the article at least one more time since that date.

Hello Tokyogirl79, how are you? First of all, nice choice, I grew up listening to Ace of Base. I just wanted to make a note in regards to the page of Gianni Nunnari. I was fortunate enough to meet him and create a mild level of friendship with the guy. I read some of the comments and talks in regards to his page in the past, and I agree with you when you say even negative facts must be shown. But, this page on him does not reflect at all what he represents. First of all, the lawsuit has been settled for over a year. In his wiki page it seems it's still an ongoing thing, that can hurt his business, don't you agree with me? This guy has made over $2 billion dollars at the box office, and there is no mention of that. He developed some of the greatest success in Hollywood, also, barely any mention of that. I go in some other producers on wikipedia, and there are dozens of lines "promoting" there successful career (half of the success Gianni had) and barely any negative facts. Gianni's page consists of 6 total lines, where one is purely a biography and 4 are about the lawsuits. May I ask why is that? There are 54k articles on Google about Gianni, where only 2k talks about the lawsuit and nearly half estates it was settle. How come that does not reflect on wikipedia? I'm just trying to understand how this work and since I noticed you are "assigned" as his page editor, thought you could be the best to answer. Thanks for the time and I hope you have a happy thanksgiving. PS: he just had a beautiful baby daughter, I hope she gets to read something great about her father one day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hollywoodmovies ( talk • contribs) 03:22, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi Tokyogirl, thanks for sorting out the whole CommanderShinzon problem. Had no clue (s)he was completely fabricating this whole extra world around Constructus. I think (s)he was just a fan who was a bit crazy (not that I'm excusing their behaviour). However, I'd like to discuss your to the Constructus article. I can testify (with my somewhat good knowledge) that a lot of that article can be saved. The Ziggurat was legitimately a artbook and CD, I've tried to buy it on Discogs. I can dig around for some extra sources but basically what needs to be said is that the only album released or created by Constructus is The Ziggurat. Finally, is the album notable enough because of it being Constructus' only album? It marks a turning point in Watkin/Anita's careers. Thanks! DAY TALK 00:02, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi Tokyogirl79. Hope you're doing well. You've helped me before with some BLPs, so perhaps you can do so again. Would you mind taking a look at Tarick Salmaci when you get a chance? It appears that the subject of article might be editing it himself and recently has been engaged in a bit of edit warrin. FWIW, I'm happy to discuss things with him on the article's talk page, but so far the response has only be to revert. The edits being made have accidentally damaged the format if the article and normally I would fix them, but I'm not sure if that's allowed under WP:NOT3RR since I'm not sure they would be considered a case of "obvious vandalism" per WP:NOTVANDAL. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 06:40, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi Tokyogirl79, i've recently created some mother goose book (heres one, Mother Goose's Little Treasures) and noticed there is no mother goose category (also pinging BrownHairedGirl, as a cat expert.), nor a "List of Mother Goose" article even though there are a lot of mother goose books out there (including some on wiki, thanks in part to yours truly ), do you think a mother goose cat and/or a list article would be appropriate? thanks, Coolabahapple ( talk) 05:03, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
AFAICS, there is already an embedded list at Mother Goose. It may not be complete, but unless it expands significantly I don't see any need to break it out from the main article.
As to a category, there are several similar categories at Category:Works based on fairy tales, such as Category:Works based on Beauty and the Beast.
I don't see any problem in principle with a Category:Works based on Mother Goose, provided that it has a useful size. The guideline at WP:SMALLCAT isn't a fixed minimum threshold, but in my experience 5 articles is usually regarded as the minimum viable size for a category.
Hope this helps! -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 09:29, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Tokyogirl
I saw that some months back you gave page protection to the Seasick Steve page regarding a new biography. . Though i do not do much editing anymore (I found out that I was not really cut out for it) but still enjoy reading articles, mostly on bands and artist on Wikipedia. There are a number of pages which I return to and one of those is the Seasick Steve page which I was at a few days afo. I saw to my suprise that someone had put a new section in the main article about an unauthorised biography with the name of the book and the authors name . I couldn't really see how an unauthorised biography could warrant its on section on the main page of an artist. I went to the talk page and saw there was much discussion about it, some pretty contentious. What bothers me is that this seems to be pretty blantant advertising of an unauthorised biography on a internationally known artists Wikipedia page which is currently for sale. I don't know if this was done by the author or people associated with the author but to me the bottom line is, it is still advertising. The only rwo references for the book are The Arts Desk which was written by the author himself where he apparently works and the other just a blog by musician from another band in the Gaurdian. It all seemed a little suspect to me but my main concern is the obvious advertising of this book. I was wondering if you could have a look at the page and see if you agree. Thanks for time Aircastle Aircastle ( talk) 11:56, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
However, my main concern is that it meets Wikipedia guidlines, which it apparently does. I really appreciate your clear explanation. All the best Aircastle ( talk) 10:07, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
I Tokyogirl79. Would you mind taking a peek at this edit and this edit made to Becky (television personality) when you get the chance? The information is not inaccurate per se, but I am wondering about the citing of Japan Today. JT is basically a news aggregator which does not really generate much of it's own content, and it also publishes lots of PR/fluff/tabloid stuff as well. I wouldn't put it in the same class as The Japan Times or any of the other more established English dailies published in Japan, so it's not clear how reliable it is considered to be for Wikipedia. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 10:59, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank for your restoring this page to my sandbox. The reason I waited several months before updating and re-submitting is to allow time for more secondary sources to accrue. As I understood the original rejection, it was rejected on the grounds that there were insufficient secondary sources.
Cats on the internet is a large phenomenon that is already addressed on Wikipedia. There are several precedents of internet celebrities on Wikipedia that are cats, e.g. Grumpy Cat, Lil bub, Maru, and Colonel Meow. The latter has 317k followers, while Artemis & Apollo have 105k followers and therefore are arguably in the same category. I therefore do not see why you and User:Anarchyte appear to have an absolute objection to an article on Artemis & Apollo.
I strongly disagree that Instagram is not a valid source for phenomena occurring within Instagram. Instagram is a part of the real world, it is a significant thing in its own right, and the most authoritative source of information about what is happening in Instagram is Instagram. I am at a loss to understand how this simple logic can be disputed. Nevertheless, I gather that there is a policy that on Wikipedia Notability requires secondary sources, and I shall endeavour to meet that requirement before re-submitting. I shall also study your articles on Notability before re-submitting.
If the article is rejected again, then I shall raise this is a general issue in the Forum, as it seems to me to be a flawed policy not to regard objectively measurable data on internet (e.g. the number of followers of an Instagram page) as a reliable source of information about that part of the internet. (E.g., if I look at Grumpy Cat's Instagram page and see that he has 2 million followers, and then I read in a published secondary source, Marie Claire magazine, that he has only 173,172 followers, then Wikipedia's policy is to regard that the latter as more authoritative than the former? This seems mistaken to me.)
