You do, don't you? ;) Drmies (talk) 02:10, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for keeping me updated on this. On another note I created an article about the spree killer Philip Smith yesterday that you might find interesting. I currently have access to HighBeam and found a huge feature from the Birmingham Evening Mail published on the day he was sent to prison. I've used it as the basis for the article, but am looking for free online sources to back up as much as I can. It could also do with a few images, I guess. Take a look anyway and let me know what you think. Paul MacDermott (talk) 16:12, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
The article Dulcita Lieggi has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. – hysteria18 (talk) 15:29, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Dulcita Lieggi 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/Dulcita Lieggi 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 template from the top of the article. – hysteria18 (talk) 19:07, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
Hello BabbaQ. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Miss Asia Pacific World, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article is not substantially the same as the deleted version. A new deletion discussion is required. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 04:33, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi BabbaQ, I noticed a comment you posted at Bleubeatle (talk · contribs) regarding the removal of PROD tag from Eldar and Nigar, in which you stated their individual articles should be deleted, as the pair are a duo act. I should point out that you are technically incorrect. Ell & Nikki are really solo artists, and where only forged together as a duo act for the sake of Eurovision. :To put it into context, take for example Ant & Dec. They are a duo (formerly pop singers, turned TV presenters), and have an article as a duo, but also have articles as solo people Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly. Therefore Eldar & Nigar would be fine as the duo article, while keeping Eldar Gasimov and Nigar Jamal as articles to show their individualities. Wesley☀Mouse 13:22, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
BabbaQ, I have had a word with Cooper, and think that there could be more to all of this then we actually think. In the past, I have noticed Bleubeatle's behavioural pattern being of a polite, quiet, caring editor. But recently that behaviour has done a 180-turn for the worse. Now either the user is going through some personal problems, or there really is a language barrier causing misunderstandings. Either way, I nominated myself to write a sincere letter to Bleu on his talk page. In that letter, I have suggested that the heated debate be cooled down by all sides, myself included, and checking to see if he would like all of the heated sections to be hidden from the general viewing eye (this can be done, and would't cause to much problems, as people may still see that part in the page history if they wish). If he agrees to this, then would you also be ok in hiding the heated sections, and then we can try and get the discussion back on the right cooperative track? P.S. Have you seen the ESC 2012 article? GA review is in progress and it is looking promising for the project to get its first ever GA-class on Eurovision by Year articles. If that does happen, then it would be a good argument to have Ell & Nikki separated from the song article too. Wesley☀Mouse 18:05, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
WikiProject Eurovision: This is a reminder to all members of Project Eurovision, that there is still an ongoing RfC discussion taking place at the project talk page. It is vital that everyone participates in this discussion, as it concerns the future manual of style and article layout in regards to Eurovision Song Contest by Year and Junior Eurovision Song Contest by Year articles. This is your ideal opportunity to contribute suggestions and ideas on a major issue, which will reflect on the way these articles will be written in future. Thank You!

Hello,
Because you participated in the previous AFD for Ankheg, I am notifying you that it has been nominated for AFD again. 129.33.19.254 (talk) 14:18, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi BabbaQ, With all the goings on with you know what, I thought you may like to have something else to have a gander at and take your mind off issues. As you know, the project newsletter was revived this month, and I am already in preparations of writing the next edition. I've done some tweaking improvements of style/layout of the newsletter to give it more appeal and "grab-ability" to everyone (my aim is to get project members hooked on the newsletter, and read with interest). Anyhow, would you be so kind and have a glance at the draft version, and let me know if there is anything else that could do with being included, or if there is something in there that isn't really needed. Thanks Wesley☀Mouse 14:04, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
That looks like it has potential to be expanded. I'll take a look in a day or two and see what I can find. While I'm here, do you know anyone at WP:CRIME who does copy editing? I'd like someone to go through my Philip Smith article before I put it forward to GAN, but it's been up at the Guild of Copy editors noticeboard for some weeks now without any takers.

Bienvenue! Willkommen! Welcome! Please be warm-hearted in encouraging everyone to do their best to contribute to all Eurovision-related Wikipedia articles, and welcome our new members to the project. It is easy for editors to get into conflict with each other, and things can get very nasty on the most trivial of issues, whether that be on the language of songs, the names of certain countries, or how we deal with incidents at the contest. In such circumstances it is worth remembering one thing: we are all here to build an encyclopedia, and the contribution of Eurovision to human knowledge can only be given justice if we work together and make articles, not drama!
Happy editing!

I am posting here to ask for editors to look at Wikipedia:In_the_news/Recurring_items and to comment at the talk page to discuss/vote on an amendment to the ITN/R list. I am posting this message on a number of editor's talk pages to encourage debate.
In connection to an ongoing debate on which items can appear on the front page under "In The News", "Recurring Items" are nominated events which require very little debate in the nomination process.
I propose the following amendment to the current ITN/R list. In addition I will put this on the talk page of as many editors as I can find who are contributors to ITN/C
At Wikipedia:In_the_news/Recurring_items, I propose the following amendment to section 3:

hi, ive noticed you've been doing some very simple voting "keep passes WP:GNG" given previous concerns about your keep arguments I do wonder if you even read the AfD or the article in question or simply turn up and say "keep passes WP:GNG" with no thought.

I did wonder if there might be an article on this, but must confess I hadn't got round to looking so thanks for letting me know about it.

On 21 March 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Gemma McCluskie, which you created or substantially expanded.

I'll take a look, although it might be a few days before I can do anything. I should also add that I'm not familiar with the case so I'll need to read up on it. Paul MacDermott (talk) 15:34, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
I had a quick read this evening and it seems fine. One or two thing we could perhaps consider for a future FAC nomination might be to expand the lead as I'm not sure if everything in the main body is covered there, and remove some of the refs. But apart from that it seems to read well, and I see it passed a GA reassessment not long after the execution, so overall it seems to be fairly detailed and well organised. If you're thinking of an FA nomination it's definitely headed in the right direction. I'll read through it again when I get a chance and perhaps make a few adjustments.

WP:HARASSMENT has a specific definition. Any future claims of harassment that do not meet that definition can lead to a block. Your personal incivility and false accusations are merely escalating a situation, and cannot be condoned (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 15:39, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:
I was responding to personal attacks by the user Twatfots after trying to avoid further contact for a few days. The user continued to write about me to several users even after that. In the end I reacted to this [1], [2],[3] and I am the one being blocked for harassments, as you can see I tried to reason with the user and tried to make us move on from previous arguments. The user has been told by several users to move on but has continued to make a smear campaign against me. I wish to be unblocked and will not have any further contact with the user in question.
Decline reason:
See below. (Considering the full history of this issue, I think a 24 hour block is on the minimal side. There is certainly no question of reducing it.) JamesBWatson (talk) 17:22, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi BabbaQ, I thought I'd drop a few notes on your talk page with some help on writing articles :o)
First of all, it may be best for you to do a bit of reading, starting with the Wikipedia manual of style, which will give you a lot of information about how Wikipedia prefers its articles to be written. It's not as hard to follow as it might look; quite a bit of the information there probably won't be vital for you at first.
Second, I recommend you make a user sandbox - which is just an area you can use to practise in, and to make notes in, and to get things ready in. If you click this red link: user:BabbaQ/Sandbox, that will let you create that page (it gives you an edit window to start work in). Anything, anywhere, on the help and information pages which gives you an example, try it out in your sandbox until you're familiar with it.
For your article, the next thing you want to do is start collecting as much information as you can about it. Google searches (particularly in Books and Scholar) will be your best friend for this! Once you've found the information, the next most important thing is to start writing up each fact in your own words (very important, this), and make a note at the same time of exactly where that information came from. Build in the references as you go along; I'm going to copy in, down below this, a whole heap of help on doing references, which was produced by one of our best teachers (Chzz).
Here's another place that you'll find incredibly useful - citation templates which you can copy and paste into your sandbox, between <ref></ref> tags; you just fill in the blanks from your sources into the template, and you'll end up with nicely formatted inline citations :o) It all helps. Remember to add a references section to your sandbox (make a new line, and put ==References== on it, and type ((reflist)) on the next line, so that you can see how your citations look as you do them. Remember to save your page often! You don't want to lose your work.
Hopefully this will give you a good start and make life easier for you. Pesky (talk …stalk!) 08:32, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
These require two parts;
Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref>
== References == ((reflist))
(an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections)
To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:BabbaQ/reftest and try it out.
Chzz was born in 1837. <ref name=MyBook> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> Chzz lives in Footown.<ref name=MyBook/>

Hi there BabbaQ! I've just come across one of your articles, and noticed that you had to create titles for your url links manually, or were using bare urls as references.
You might want to consider using this tool - it makes your life a whole heap easier, by filling in complete citation templates for your links. All you do is install the script on Special:MyPage/common.js, or or Special:MyPage/vector.js, then paste the bare url (without [...] brackets) between your <ref></ref> tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for pdf documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well. Happy editing!

You almost always vote keep but almost never provide evidence of searches and state your explanation in very short sentence. In this Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cristina Siekavizza , I really wonder if you even looked at the article. The subject is about Guatemala but for some strange reason you mention coverage in Argentina? Did you actually search Argentinian press or merely blind voted?

Hi there, thank you for your contributions to The Human Centipede (First Sequence). When the article was first started in October 2009 is was but a tiny stub that was immediately tagged for deletion, but thanks to the efforts of wikipedia editors that tiny acorn has grown into a great oak tree of an article. The Human Centipede (First Sequence) is now a Featured Article and on the 17th June 2010 the article received its 1,000,000th page view! The article routinely receives over five thousand views a day and is in the top 1,000 most viewed Wikipedia articles!
On Halloween 2011, the article was the Main Page Featured Article!
The Dr. Heiter Award was created to reward editors who have made positive contributions to the article. It can be presented by any wikipedia user to anyone who has helped the article grow. This might be by adding new content, fixing any errors or reverting vandalism.
Thanks! Feed!
I would like to draw particular reference to your moral boosting support and encouragement. When people are calling for my head on a plate (not that I'm bothered) it's cool to know there are still people like you out there.

I know you've been told this before but please take this in good faith - using keep arguments in XFD like 'GNG is met' [8] or 'Clearly notable' [9] are generally seen as unhelpful, remember that XFD is not a vote and that one well thought out argument can be worth a hundred one line comments. Please read WP:ATA.
The same goes for assertions that there is no reason for deletion, when there plainly is [10] [11] (respectively the reasons are that the article is a WP:HOAX and that it is non-notable).
Also please note that the essentially ad hom argument that the nominator is blocked/a sockpuppet/banned etc. ceases to apply when good faith editors have begun a legitimate discussion (especially when a good faith editor has seconded the nomination) per WP:SK. Please do bear this in mind or your xfd !votes are liable to be ignored. Thanks, Bob House 884 (talk) 12:02, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

In addition, the article has been edited a number of times after the alleged vandalism. I also reviewed your concern that large sections of the article were removed; however, it appears the sections were incorporated into other parts of the article that provided better a flow. I understand your interest in reverting the Cameron Scott edits; however, ignoring the sockpuppet issues, the version that he created and was followed up by other's edits and appears to be a tighter version of the article. If you wish to revert the edits or remove the Cameron Scott edits, please get consensus onthe talkpage. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Hi BabbaQ,
AFD isn't a battleground or a courtroom, that means that rather than being adversarial in nature (so you win by defeating people who disagree) its consensus based (so you 'win' by getting your opponents to agree with you). It's generally not a good idea to try to use policy to defeat peoples arguments, and instead you should probably try to politely address their concerns, for instance in the Alex Hilton Afd it may have been a better approach to respond to Tony's comments by giving him examples of substantial media coverage rather than attempting to dismiss them by quoting policy. That way, future voters would have been able to assess the evidence more effectively and Tony might even have been willing to change his mind. It also helps to keep good faith and stops you avoiding a charge of wikilawyering.
It might be worth reconsidering WP:GHITS as well. The arguments which the GHITS policy is supposed to prevent are ones which use GHITS as a sole or very significant determinate of notability. For example "X recieves 100,000 GHITS therefore it is/is not notable". Its fine to use it pragmatically or as a probable indicator of worth in relevant circumstances, we just have to avoid inferring this 'therefore' element of causation and trust in people's ability to use it properly (e.g. its a good yardstick for judging the notability of a primarily internet based commentator, but not very good for very specialised or non-internet things, such as an element of Roman culture. Its definately not as clear cut as you are trying to present it.

Thanks, I'll have a look. One note of caution, though - since you're notifying people who commented at the AFD, make sure you also notify those who recommended Delete. To notify one side of a debate without doing the same for the other could be considered canvassing. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 18:53, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
Hello. It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on others' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2011_April_6#Colin_Hatch. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large.

Hi, I've noticed that you've made a lot of contributions to discussions, at ITN and elsewhere, without providing much of a rationale for supporting/opposing/deleting/whatever. Consensus is based on the strength of the argument, not the number of people making it, so comments like "Support - big deal. itn" don't add much to the discussion. When admins judge consensus, we have to "weigh" !votes and very short comments with little rationale are weighted much less than a convincing argument that explains your viewpoint. Something for you to bare in mind. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:09, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes, the Henslee / Howarth case is a tough call as it is very new. As an arrest has already been made, I would wait and see if the case is still in the news after a few weeks. I think you were lucky with the Joanna Yeates case as even I was surprised by the amount of attention it received by the media. The Carlina White case that you had mentioned to me had no notability problems as it is an older case that had only recently been solved. That is why I often bring up WP:PERSISTENCE for judging "news" cases. By waiting, there is the possibility that another editor may start such an article, but if an AfD is raised, then it is that editor's headache. I have also been working on 2011 Tucson shooting, in which notability was established immediately because notable people (who already had articles here) were involved. KimChee (talk) 19:43, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
No problem, Gimmebot is functioning normally, though the talk headers did need some cleaning up. Once an article becomes GA (or FA) the DYK and AfD information becomes buried under "Article milestones".

If an article is not new (less than 5 days old), then the expanded prose (text minus headers, captions, infoboxes, tables, etc.) of the rewritten article must be 5x longer to qualify for DYK. For biographical articles that previously lacked references or citations, the article must be expanded 2x to qualify. All other rules are the same (i.e. work must have been done within the last 5 days). I hope this answers your question. KimChee (talk) 00:18, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

The section you keep restoring is a pro-SD segment from Björn Söder, who attacks Malmö and its population on a daily basis, stating that the people of Malmö should live in fear of the shooter without the media reporting on the shootings. And since the Wikipedia editing page states that users should "maintain a neutral, unbiased point of view", there is no point in adding Söder's pro-SD talking point in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.102.150.186 (talk) 20:21, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Eldar Gasımov, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a ((hangon)) tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 21:22, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi again I have just started to read about a very interesting and notable crime case from Australia in the 1890 its about Sarah and John Makin who murdered infants that they had been paid to look after from young women who couldnt take care of them. According to the text it was because of this case that legislations about childcare was changed in Australia so it has had an effect on the country politically and socially. So I was wondering if you would like to make atleast a stub about the case in question, if you have the time. Some sites about the case is found here and here. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:42, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

The article Disappearance of Joanna Yeates is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Disappearance of Joanna Yeates 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 good 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 template from the top of the article. ƒox 21:45, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Im not saying I will , but If I was to nominate the Oba Chandler article for FA do you think it stands a reasonable chance of being Supported for it?. I personally find that the overall prose,length and sourcing are up to FA standards and when looking trough the arguments for not promoting it in an earlier FA nomination, the problems raised that time has been taken care of since. But I dont know maybe im bias because I personally find the article very good.Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:28, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Just by way of an FYI ... you may have felt LibStar's comment to you to be insulting, but LibStar has a point - your vote on the Clemente AfD shows a startling lack of knowledge on how the AfD process works, and some of your votes in other AfDs more of the same. I urge you to familiarize yourself with the standard notability and inclusion criteria, as well as deletion policy and the accompanying guide to deletion, before participating in further AfDs. One consequence of not doing so is likely what you're finding in LibStar's comment: that people will discount your opinion as uninformed, and your arguments will carry little or no weight in future AfDs.

You should try to take that into account in that AfD. You have responded way too many votes, and as far as it seems, it is not going to change anything. Everyone has the right to vow their opinion, you shouldn't be trying to push them to think the way you do, because that is impossible. What seems funny to me, is that you pointed this very same 'policy' to Libstar in the Mike Clemente AfD, and you weren't able to respond what he actually wanted. Please, stop doing that. It's just an advice from my part. P.D. Don't take comments personally, most people want to help you, not the contrary. Diego Grez (EMSIUB) (talk) 18:54, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

I would like to give you a advice if you are in the mood to make a new crime article, ten days ago DNA evidence finally officially freed Cornelius Dupree who had been in jail for 30 years for a crime that he didnt commit, he was already out when the DNA answers came. He has also been the subject of tv-documentaries because he was known to be innocent of the crime he was in prison for but the district attorney didnt want it to got to court etc etc etc.. Perhaps an interesting case. Just a suggestion.--BabbaQ (talk) 02:11, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Some of us try hard to ensure that items of interest that is specific or limited to the US or UK, or other English speaking nations, or the perspective of these nations on global news events is not given undue weight.

A tag has been placed on Linda Norgrove requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead.

On 16 April 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Jenny Silver, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that singer Jenny Silver debuted with the Swedish dance band Candela, when it was signed to Bert Karlsson's label Mariann Grammofon? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Hi. Thanks for nominating the article for GA. Unfortunately I don't believe at this stage it is ready for the process as there is still much work to be done on it. The case is ongoing and the article's length is fairly short for a GA. My advice would be to withdraw it, do some more work, expand it and wait for further events to develop, then perhaps nominate it again in six months or so. A good idea in the meantime might be to request a peer review as this is always a useful way of getting feedback and deciding in which direction an article should go. You might also want to take a look at some similar articles which are currently GAs as these will give you some good guidelines on the type of information which should be included in the Sian O'Callaghan article.

BabbaQ, prior to your block I recommended that you take a close read of WP:AADD. i note you're back again simply voting "keep per person X" or similar. it appears to me that you may not be reading the actual article for deletion. please make an effort to make a decent argument rather than blindly voting keep because you like it. LibStar (talk) 07:40, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
the best way to argue keep is to show evidence of sources. this one had strong consensus for delete. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pol-primett. LibStar (talk) 12:55, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
This is what the Main Page should link to, I've heard. :) Without any help, it will be deleted very, very soon. So hereby: some help would be most appreciated.

Hi BabbaQ, I thought I'd just pop over to your talk page and let you know that The Human Centipede (First Sequence) is currently a featured article candidate! I know it's a horrible horrible movie about terrible things, but I like to think the wikipedia article is pretty good, and it would be really cool if it made it to featured article. I'd really appreciate it if you could pop over to the review and let me know if there's anything I could do to improve the article.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Tala Raassi 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/Tala Raassi 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 good 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 template from the top of the article. Divide et Impera (talk) 02:17, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
I don't know if you caught my earlier suggestions, but I'd like to ask once again that you check out Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. I'm sure you make your points out of good faith, but you should know it adds nothing, and in fact really just distracts from the discussion, when your vote rationale is along the lines of "sources exist" or "simply notable".--Yaksar (let's chat) 02:15, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello, BabbaQ -- I am just finishing up copy-editing the article Devadasu (1953 film). Toward the end of the article there is a link to Indo-Asian News Service. I looked at the article to see whether there was an en-dash between "Indo" and "Asian" in the article's title, but I saw that there wasn't. There is a hyphen. I'm wondering whether it should be an en-dash. If so, I guess the title should be corrected. I don't know whether that would involve a page move. Can you look into this? If it does get changed to an en-dash, I will try to remember to change it in the Devadasu article so that it matches the article title. Corinne (talk) 01:13, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for the message. I'm assuming you are referring to Lena Andersson (singer), which is the more recently edited one, not Lena Andersson (author), but slightly confused as neither of these articles shows your name in the edit history. If that is the right article, my advice would be first of all to try to supply plenty of careful references to published sources as it is about a living person - otherwise anything not directly referenced may well be deleted by an administrator. This is absolutely essential when writing about living people. These references need to be inline, that is to say, there should be a numbered reference at the end of any statement about the person to show where the information has come from. In these references, the format should be (first) name of the author of the writing you are referring to, if available - second, title of the article - third, title of the magazine, journal or book in which it appears - fourth, publisher - fifth, date, volume number etc, - sixth, page. (in that order). The references can easily be moved around the article by copying and pasting, and it's okay to have the same reference twice if you are referencing two different facts in different places within the article. I'm sorry I don't have any original sources of my own about this subject, nor do I know anything about her, but I hope this guidance helps? Best wishes, Eebahgum (talk) 19:30, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Greetings WikiProject TAFI members!
Over the past two weeks, there has been extensive discussion on introducing bot automation to assist with maintenance of the Today's Articles for Improvement project. A bot has now been approved for trial and will carry out the weekly duties. The bots first run will occur around 00:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC) (midnight on Sunday).
If you have been assisting any of the weekly maintenance tasks, please refrain from doing so this week. The bot needs to be tested and proven it can do the job, and it only gets one chance per week. The tasks will include:
Updating the accomplishments and archiving selections is still done manually, along with daily tasks such as adding approved entries to the articles for improvement page. These will become automated in the near future.
We hope the bot proves to serve well, and by carrying out the routine housekeeping tasks we can boost the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the project. MusikBot thanks you for your service in helping with the weekly tasks in the past, and for your cooperation during this trial period :)

Hello: I have completed the copy edit you requested on the GOCE page of your article on Michael Blanc. I found that several of the references you cited were no longer accessible on the Web. I tried to find alternatives. There are still a number of statements in the article which lack citations; these are marked [citation needed]. Perhaps you will have more success that I did trying to find citations. If you're happy with the edit as it stands, please let me know and I will advise the GOCE the copy edit is complete. Kind regards, Twofingered Typist (talk) 21:21, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
Hello BabbaQ: I have finished my copy edit of Christine Schürrer and have the following suggestions:
These are Dead links: 1, 3 (possibly), 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 15. You will need to find new citations for all.
“Early life” section has no citations at all. Most of the “Murders and Arrest” section is not cited. Why is the ex-boyfriend not named?
I think that this section from “Murders and arrest” should be merged into the” Early life” section but you need dates to establish the right order.
“ Schürrer arrived in Sweden during the summer of 2007 and settled in Södermalm, in central Stockholm. She later found an apartment in Skarpnäck, a suburb of Stockholm. During this period Schürrer tried to commit suicide for a third time.[1] She was admitted to Södersjukhuset hospital with only minor cuts on her arms and was later released. She had previously tried to commit suicide because she felt betrayed by a Swedish man leaving her after a two-week romance in Greece.”
You write: “…preliminary investigations become publicly available the moment a lawsuit is filed” but there is no mention on a lawsuit in the article. Do you mean that material is publicly available once someone is charged with a crime?
You don’t explain how the police came to view Schürrer as a suspect, nor is there any explanation of her defense.
I hope my suggestions to improve the article are helpful. I'll advise the GOCE that the copy edit is complete.
Kind regards Twofingered Typist (talk) 13:16, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

One thing I learned when I was in real estate was not to be lazy. I did all the fixing up on houses myself. I ran my real estate firm out of my house. I learned the sales techniques myself. I became very good at selling real estate. My income was ten times that of the average real estate salesperson. Sales can be a very lucrative field, IF you learn the sales techniques. In fact I am convinced it is the highest paying job there is, IF you know the skills. I only have a high school education, but I learned sales techniques and had the income of lawyers and doctors.

I see on this article that most paragraphs do NOT have an inline reference. So I ask myself, "How did that happen?" One should never put something in an article unless it came from a source. So, if its in an article - the information came from somewhere. So then whoever put in the information should also put in the reference source. A paragraph should never come with no reference. Use my latest article for an example how references should be done. All paragraphs have a reference at the end - many have references within the paragraph. When I see someone put in information in an article I am "watching" and there is no reference, I just simply remove the information (edit summery is "no reference for material"). Here is an opportunity for you to learn some great Wikipedia skills of referencing - chase down where each reference source is for all the paragraphs not referenced. If you put in the effort, then the Universe will give you the answers and skills. Now as an old man I should know this = its worked for me.

A tag has been placed on Vagina Grande requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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. 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. - McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 14:09, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi BabbaQ Thanks for taking time to review the article Johan Matton and your comment ""Keep"" in the deletion discussion has been relisted and it would be great since you already took the time to read through the article if you wanted to post your verdict again under the relisting section since the above will be ignored. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Johan_Matton_(3rd_nomination) Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:F1E6:ED00:A65E:60FF:FECF:3F73 (talk) 19:23, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
I'm glad you liked the article. I must confess that so far, I haven't seen either the Disappeared episode (it's not available for free, unlike Disappearance of Leah Roberts, where the corresponding episode can be viewed for free on YouTube, which benefited the article) or Ben's Vortex. But I will at some point, obviously because it's necessary to improve the article as otherwise allegations made in both of those productions are sort of covered only secondhand in otherwise reliable sources.
I do plan to do more of these (I had liked the response to Sneha Anne Philip and Disappearance of Rebecca Coriam, neither of which was on Disappeared, although they could well have been if that program continued, and when I hit a soft spot in my workflow where I didn't have many fresh pictures of National Register of Historic Places listings to start or improve articles on, I turned to more missing persons cases (see, also, Lloyd Gaines) to fill my itinerarial void (as well as other Unsolved Mysteries-type articles tied to anniversaries like Death of Elisa Lam, which unfortunately did not run on the appropriate anniversary date this year (but still got a lot of hits when it did as there is a lot of interest in the case). For less fresh cases, I prefer to wait till zero- or five-year anniversary dates, as those tend to generate more interest (and, of course, there is the faint hope that having a Wikipedia article might help generate the tip that solves the case somewhere). And it keeps these from overwhelming my workload. Daniel Case (talk) 23:19, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your message of 12:24 UTC on 28 July. I am afraid that I seriously doubt that merely ignoring that user's behaviour is likely to be a practical long term option, as, in view of the degree of persistence he has already shown, I seriously doubt that it will ever subside.

Hey there, I've been working on your copy edit request for the article Malena Ernman. I'm doing the best I can to make the "Operas" and "Concerts" sections more clearly written, but honestly they really, really need references. It would be best to have a reference for each performance (detailing where the performance was and with whom she performed), but at the very least these sections need a reference to a list of her significant roles, or something. I think this is necessary for the Biographies of Living Persons requirements, and it would also help me understand the information better. The best way to rewrite this section would be to present the roles chronologically (it seems like some of them are mentioned twice, and I can't tell if it's a duplicate or if she actually performed them on two separate occasions). Any sources you can add to verify and give detail on her performances would be greatly appreciated. —2macia22 (talk) 20:00, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

I have also added the link to the page on Swedish Wikipedia on the side, this is easy to do if you ever need to do it in the future.
I work a lot with foreign sources, and in the citations, I find it helps to include the fields |language= and |trans_title = . In the field |trans_title = you write the title of the work translated into English. This can help for people who are interested in the subject, but may not know the foreign language, to understand the subject a little bit more.

Please take a look at the article Per Holknekt that I have created. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Good work on Holknekt, Babba! Incidentally, to me, the Svea is above all the polar explorer S. A. Andrée's first hydrogen balloon.[17] Yes, I may well be the only person alive who has heard of that Svea, it's a deeply obscure thing — it didn't even take him anywhere near the North Pole — but I immersed myself up to the neck in that stuff when I wrote the article on Andrée's polar expedition, so I remember it indelibly. :-) Andrée used the name Svea for reasons of typical late 19th-century patriotism. Why Holknekt used it for his magazine, well... beats me. Bishonen | talk 22:58, 20 June 2015 (UTC).

Thanks. I think winner should be featured on main page with adding of it being 60th event. as for predictions, I personally think Italy will win. It is a huge song. 1. Italy 2. Sweden 3. Belgium 4. Russia 5. Australia 6. Spain Australia's Guy Sebastian will also score very high as well simply because they are for the first time. But my personal favourites (will not win I'm sure) are Azerbaijan's Elnur Hüseynov, Armenia's Genealogy, Israel's golden boy Nadav Guedj and particularly Montenegro's Knez whose song "Adio" is just wonderful. These stand out as melodic, exotic and simply beautiful.

BabbaQ, Kosovo was removed several times from Eurovision Song Contest 2016 per basis of WP:Twitter, and the fact Project Eurovision agreed that Twitter as sources are a severe WP:REDFLAG avoidance in the eyes of Wikipedia. As I pointed out at User talk:Jjj1238#Kosovo, Wiwibloggs use the headline "rumour mill" which makes it WP:CRYSTAL speculation. The wording in the tweet is dubious in itself. Just so we are clear: I actually KNOW #Kosovo will participate in next years @Eurovision #ESC2016 event. I can’t tell you how yet though
. Perhaps Kosovo are looking to be an interval act, like Australia were in 2013 and 2014. Or Kosovo are sending a singer to participate for Albania again. The tweet is just too ambiguous and making an exceptional claim. Even WP:Twitter discourages the use of them as sources. Wes Mouse | T@lk 23:19, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

I will watch it direct tomorrow. It is on much earlier time in Montreal in the afternoon. By the way, I have watched MF for 7 years and almost always was wrong in predicting the result except for "Euphoria" that I predicted will win. That was the only time. I just hated last year's Sanna Nielsen's "Undo" as I told you it was a mediocre song and just loved Yohio in "Heartbreak Hotel]". But Sanna won and did quite well even in final voting in Eurovision. But absolute favourite from recent years was strangely enough Swingfly with "and My Drum]" , a very sexy lyrics song. I also adored Behrang Miri's "Dansa Sawa]". He had a great video with it. I would love Jon Henrik Fjällgren to win, a wonderful tune, plus that he is Colombian who was adopted by the Sanni, so even more exotic to represent Sweden. I just adored him when I saw him Talang Sverige last year. Except that his song doesn't have much lyrics in the song, does it... Just a few words in Swedish or Sanni I am not sure. Plus his stage presentation is just awful. He should change these flying angels.... or whatever they are. He did a video which was so much nicer here. Anyway we will see after voting. werldwayd (talk) 21:10, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Chloé (Belgian singer) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

Hi BabbaQ,
I looked over the article Tina Leijonberg that you created. I did just some general copyediting and fixed a couple of typos. I had a question about two items. When you mention "singer at Stockholms stadsteater" is stadsteater the name of the theater? If so that should be capitalized, and you would need an apostrophe between m and s in Stockholms. Also the word "balet", is that the way the word is spelled there? I noticed in the name of the school it has the same spelling. (Balettakademien in Gothenburg) If so that is fine. The article was well done and nicely referenced. Please do let me know if you have any more articles that you would like me to look over. Thanks, and have a great Sunday!

Hi BabbaQ, can you please explain the purpose of making edits like this and this? All you are doing is adding blank lines and breaking the WP:MOS guidelines about placing <ref> tags after punctuation. 97198 (talk) 00:15, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for asking me to look at this article. I do not have time to do a full review, but thought I would make a brief reply here. It's an interesting well-referenced article, and I'm not sure how far you want to take it. To me it would be more interesting if the Life section were split into, say, a Life section (for description) and one in which the diagnosis was discussed further, say, Medical diagnosis (for discussion). And some of the paragraphs are a bit short and could be merged. In addition the whole article could do with a copyedit. I hope you make good progress with it. --Peter I.

Hello BabbaQ! If articles have been expanded, it would be better if you update the project assessment ("class") yourself rather than to remove the assessment done. There's definitely no "WP:COI" in this. A significant expansion will usually mean +1 class, although stub -> C may also happen. The reason why I point this out is that there's a backlog of thousands of untagged articles for WP:Sweden which I see as higher priority do deal with than reassessments, for those of us who focus on assessment and project tagging.

I will certainly take a look at that. Meanwhile I dedicate to you "Jul Jul Strålande Jul". I know there are so many versions of this song. But I chose a version from a young Swedish singer I truly appreciate called Jonathan Fagerlund. You can find it here here. Merry Christmas. By the way, if you really know that I created the English Wikipedia page of Jul, jul, strålande jul after hearing it from Jonathan.

BabbaQ, I can see your outrage. I feel your pain
We all know that DYK has gotten very picky. One contributor deals with this by creating his articles in his sandbox for weeks, and thus his taking it mainstream and beginning the seven day nomination window is almost anticlimactic. Rather than being defensive about all this—your record speaks for itself—it might be best just to internalize the lessons so that it all goes smoothly in the future.

Hey Babba, just a quick note to let you know I am considering quitting Wikipedia. I love editing on here and feel that I shouldn't go; but after the way I've been treated, spoken to, and devious tactics from a user, I have decided to consider whether I should continue here or just allow the bullies to push excellent contributors out of the Wikipedian world. It is a shame that people can be like that and are using stealth bullying methods so that they don't becomes noticed and force editors to quit. Who knows what will happen. Wes Mouse | T@lk 13:24, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
I've been pushed way too far now, and so I've quit. Just been called a "she", a "liar", and that the RfC is now "a canvassing to close the TfDs". Can't be doing with these kind of bully Wikipedians. Sooner or later they will trip themselves up and karma will bite their asses hard. Been nice knowing you Babba, and who knows I might return. Wes Mouse | T@lk 18:05, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

"Good Morning" BabbaQ:
Thanks for all of your contributions to improve Wikipedia!
13 December is the day when Swedes perplex the rest of the world by showing up way too early in the morning dressed in white tunics, candles in their hair, singing and bringing saffron buns and breakfast in bed to nice people. Hope you have a bright day!

Blue Hall was promoted to the prep area, and changes were made to the hook after promotion.
Also, something needs to be done about Blue hall, which redirects to Legislative Assembly of Quebec. Perhaps you could make a disambiguation page for Blue hall? Best, Yoninah (talk) 12:11, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi BabbaQ: You missed a couple of things when you did the review at Template:Did you know nominations/2014 Colorado student protests on November 5. For one thing, the article was a bit stale by then and did not say the protests were "currently" happening. The last reference was from October 3. I've changed it to past tense on the Main Page. For another, you didn't notice that the title was a redirect, and apparently did not look at the article's history. The nominator had actually created a different article on the same topic, which he later redirected to that one (and that one had later been moved to a different title). So you actually reviewed work by different editors; I have now given DYK credit to those who did the most work on the article. One of the DYK requirements is newness, so you should always look at the article history when reviewing an article for DYK. There is rarely such a complicated situation as this, but in future if you spot that other editors have done substantial work on a nominated article, please mention that in your review or simply add credit templates for them; nominators don't always know how to add more people, or more editors do substantial work on an article between nomination and review.

Hi BabbaQ,
Thanks for the comments in Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Fredrik_Thomander. Based on a question on my Talk page, I've rewritten a draft of the article. Your source from the Swedish national library was helpful. Do you have any others to suggest? Does Draft:Fredrik Thomander now look mainspace-ready to you?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Makode Linde, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Berns. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I've been working on another of your copy-editing requests. I'm sorry I wasn't around to help out with the other article earlier in the month; I'm busy at work and have been too tired to do much on the site for a few weeks. I did Death of Sigrid Schjetne but there was a question I had over the inclusion/relevancy of a link to Missing White Woman Syndrome on the page and wondered whether there might need to be expansion in the article on how the case relates to that particular phenomenon. Thanks! LS1979 (talk) 13:09, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
This case has been in the news for a few weeks now, so I was kind of wondering when it would appear on Wikipedia. I think it will probably pass the notability test because of the coverage, but think we should look carefully at what information we add while any legal proceedings are ongoing.

It's great news, but there could be a problem. Another editor has expressed their concern to me via email about the number of Daily Mail references used in the article. They're worried it could cause a storm when the article appears on the front page. I've said that I'll attempt to change them for better ones, but it may not be possible to replace them all. I wondered if you might be able to help with this, and perhaps ask one or two others to look for stuff.

By the way, are you Swedish by any means? In case you are wondering, I do speak Swedish, and not just English. Arbero (talk) 11:52, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

In Young and spoiled you wrote, "The series follows young adults who are curled by their parents." I'm not sure exactly what you meant to say, but I'm pretty sure it's not what you wrote. Did you intend to say they're "coddled"? Or, based on the title, maybe just that they're "spoiled"? MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 21:56, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps the fact that it is a small article may be an obstacle for its approval as a DYK listing. But it would give me great pleasure.

Hi, well, I tweaked but you need to provide at least rough translations in English of her books and other writings, and try to explain their significance.
Also, I don't understand what this line -- "In 2012 her book became a play at the Dramaten in Stockholm" -- is supposed to mean.
Don't forget that something always gets lost when translating one language to another so try to "think outside the box". Good Luck. Quis separabit? 00:06, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello BabbaQ!
You mentioned that I may have removed a comment(s)? I do apologize if that was the case, it most likely was an edit conflict, not a willful action on my part. I have been on wikipedia for a while now and never have I, nor would I, remove comments. I would like you to link me to the relevant revision page so I can better understand your concerns and reassure myself that I did not remove any comments on purpose.
Best Regards, Klopsikon
On 28 March 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Filippa Lagerbäck, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Swedish fashion model Filippa Lagerbäck has hosted the Italian version of Candid Camera on RAI? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Filippa Lagerbäck. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Softengine requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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 "Click here to 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. 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Wgolf (talk) 20:58, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Babba, instead of removing all the class ratings of articles like you did with Talk:Ryan Dolan, you could easily reassess it for all projects. Importance ratings are a different matter and in my opinion are best left to individual project assessment team members. This article was rated Stub and I have rerated it as a Start class but I think it is hardly even that. The class rating applies to all projects equally, so is the same for each project. If you are not aware of it, a stub is just one or two sentences by way of introduction to a topic, while a Start-class article has some more substance with a few paragraphs but is still quite short. You can easily do this in future or ask for a reassessment from the individual project, such as the Ireland project at: Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland/Assessment#Requesting an assessment. Articles whose assessments have been removed are not very easily found by interested editors unless they follow some of the assessment logs, such as Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Ireland articles by quality log, otherwise they go unnoticed and may not be reassessed for a long time. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 21:57, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

This is an article I prepared in Swedish. Correct any language mistakes before I launch it in Swedish Wikipedia. Don't worry about the redlinks. They will work once they are in Swedish page:
Oliver Ingrosso (född Oliver Salvatore Gustavo Wahlgren-Ingrosso, 30 december 1989 i Stockholm, är en svensk skådespelare (också känd under namnet Oliver Wahlgren-Ingrosso) och discjockey / musikproducent (som Oliver Ingrosso).
Karriär
Han debuterade i filmen Ciao Bella, i rollen som Enrico. Ciao Bella är en svensk ungdomsfilm regisserad av Mani Maserrat-Agah från 2007. Han krediterades i filmen som Oliver Wahlgren-Ingrosso
Oliver Ingrosso släppte sin första Progressiv house ep-platta iTrack med Tim Berg (Avicii) och Otto Knows och han har samarbetat med stora namn som Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Swedish House Mafia, Adrian Lux, Mandy och Adam Beyer. Sedan dess har han rest runt världen och bland annat spelat tillsammans med omåttligt populära Swedish House Mafia där den 2005 äldre kusinen Sebastian Ingrosso varit och fortfarande är hans läromästare. Nu har han med jämna mellanrum spelningar i Toronto, New York, Brasilien och Spanien.
Familj
Han är son till artisten Pernilla Wahlgren och dansaren Emilio Ingrosso, och bror av Bianca Wahlgren-Ingrosso (född 1994), Benjamin Wahlgren Ingrosso (född 1997) och Theodor Wahlgren-Lennholm (född 2007).

Thanks BabbaQ for the help. You are truly a treasure. The guys on Swedish Wikipedia put notes longer than the article itself after cutting the article into half its size. It was a draft and I wanted to add many references before they put all these notes. But still, hopefully the article will be saved. I just loved Oliver in his film role as Enrico that I saw this week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDZtQ8B0YF8 That kept the ball rolling. The film Ciao Bella is in Swedish, English, Italian and Persian. Then I listened to tons of stuff of his music!!! Come to think of it, I am pretty good in Swedish, ain't I, although I don't even know Swedish at all LOL/ See the article as is now after all my additions. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Ingrosso On this joyous occasion I also added a disambiguaton page in Swedish for Ingrosso... See it here: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingrosso This is a happy day for me indeed. Ijust love swedish artists. Yet to think that Oliver Ingrosso so important as Swedish artist go and Swedish Wikipedia had nothing on him after all these years... Now that it has been rectified. Next will be an English of this, promise, where readers will be ten times more!!! Watch the film ok? I thoroughly enjoyed it. And just to tell you how happy I am feeling about this Oliver Ingrosso article, see the song I am listening to: South Sudanese singer Yaba Angelosi feat. Slick Nick in "[Faya Faya]" I know its a crappy video, but the music makes me go crazy and all worked up LOL werldwayd (talk) 13:06, 20 January 2014 (UTC) werldwayd (talk) 14:06, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

I have now edited what you called a "challenge". There are more racey materials about her, but since this is a biography page, and most quotations I found are in blogs and forums / message boards and trashy sites, I have refrained from adding them. Questions about her real identity, about her assumed name (Jennifer Paris) about being an escort etc But they don't seem very reliable. Her being transgendered has been established by so many sites I added that. BTW there is a Facebook site as well but since it is fan-based I didn't add it. But see for your own pleasure. https://www.facebook.com/YasminePettyfans Quite interesting article. But what's with you and big breasts? Almost all the female characters you add have these big boobs?

Hi BabbaQ,
I was wondering, when you have a spare moment, if you would be so kind as to have a look at article New Year's Eve in London. I attended the display in London on New Year's Eve, and thought I'd check to see if there was an article on Wikipedia, which there is. It was in a very poor state with raw references and no images. So I did some copyediting to improve it better, with a hope of doing enough work to submit a potential DYK. Anyhow, I'm wondering whether to add a tracklisting for the accompanying music for some of the years. However, that information is only found on Soundcloud, and I'm not too sure if soundcloud can be used as a source. Thank you in advance. Wes Mᴥuse 14:31, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

BabbaQ, I have noted issues with your DYK reviews of Template:Did you know nominations/The Memoirs of Cleopatra and Template:Did you know nominations/Double Rainbow (song) today, and since this seems to be your standard review, it will apply to others that I haven't yet located. Basically, they are not adequate, and cannot be given QPQ credit.
Reviews need to be complete: the criteria are at the top of the template when you're editing it, but beyond size and newness you need to check the hook for neutrality, accuracy (it has to be in the article) and that it is sourced and matches what's in the source; the article paragraphs all need to be sourced and none of these sources can be bare URLs, the article itself needs to be neutral and if a bio needs not to violate the WP:BLP rules, and there shouldn't be close paraphrasing, copyvios, or plagiarism. As I've noted, T:TDYK#How to review a nomination says that reviews should begin with one of the 5 review symbols that appear at the top of the edit screen, and then indicate all aspects of the article that you have reviewed
. You'll need to do this with all current and future reviews. Finally, please be sure that your nomination include wikilinks to your reviews, not just names for them. It's important to include these. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:54, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
The article Daria Shashina has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Launchballer 20:57, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi BabbaQ,
Thank you for notifying me of the reversions of the mergers I enacted. Is there any reason you are requesting that other editors carry out these mergers rather than doing them yourself? You don't need to be an administrator to perform a merger; you can merge Miss Asia Pacific World 2014 into Miss Asia Pacific World as easily as I can.

I have now re-edited the two articles you suggested recently. They reminded me of a delightful song by the Canadian Egyptian twin brother singers called Tadros in this song: [20] LOL. By the way, when I lived in Cyprus, there would be tonnes of Swedish tourists in Aya Napa and almost every Swedish tourist would be reading this tabloid of scandals, crimes, and sexy pin-up girls basically. I distinctly remember the paper called Aftonbladet was splashed with so much yellow colour I've never seen in any other publication. The Cyprus magazine stores would import and put it every day in their stores during the summer season. werldwayd (talk) 01:53, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi BabaQ. I replied at the DYK nom page.

Babba,
You know how I am always looking into ideas on modernising ProjectEurovision, right? First I revamped the newsletter, then gave the entire project a facelift by changing the dullish blue to a more warmer beige, as well as updating the portal area. And then the navigating tabs. Well I'm thinking of even more ideas, but wanted to put them across to you first to see what you think. How's about the Project's very own DYK on the project home page?

Hi there. I noticed in your DYK-nomination for Stekenjokk (currently in Queue 6) that you had credited all of the editors that had edited the article after the creation, a total of four other editors that did minor fixes. I don't know if this was deliberately or not, but I wanted to let you know that only editors that has made significant contributions to the article (after it was created or after expansion was started) should be given a DYK-credit. To me it looks like all of the other four credits should be removed, what do you think? Mentoz86 (talk) 17:14, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Please be more careful when reviewing DYK noms. After seeing your review of Template:Did you know nominations/Last Judgment (van der Weyden), in which you didn't even check that the concern raised by another editor had been addressed, I had a look through your contribs, and I didn't have to go far to find several more problematic reviews (such as 1, 2, 3, all within the past few days). As a DYK reviewer, you have a responsibility to ensure that the content we're displaying on the main page meets expected standards. Read over the rules; when you review a nomination, make sure that every single criterion is met, and be clear about what you've checked – "good 2 go" doesn't inspire others with confidence that you've performed a comprehensive review.

Ok... the Refai article is ready. Plus she is now mentioned in famous Lebanese in Sweden as I just listed her at List of Lebanese people in Sweden. You know I am Lebanese, or you didn't know. So this Nour El-Refai fascinated me. Her parents divorced just months after arriving in Sweden, she was just a year old, she was "Femen" before there was FEMEN... exposing herself as a political act and she was sexually assaulted, but went on to be a star a few months later having roles in films. Man! And she was in Melodifestivalen. You may not know this, but I follow Melodifestivalen diligently every week until the very final and check all the songs. I don't know about you, but you can't go wrong with Melodifestivalen. My favourite from recent years is Swingfly's song "Me and My Drum" which I put on every time I feel down and in just two seconds, all my worries are gone. It's better than anti-depression medecine. Just a crazy song. Have you noticed the sex lyrics they sing, OMG LOL... The performance here. This should have gone to Eurovision!
My favourite song these days of all the things I have listened to these couple of weeks and discovered out of the blue is this Faroe Island singer Eivør Pálsdóttir in a magical and gorgeous 2010 cover called "Dansaðu vindur"]. But then, I discover days later it was the winning Melodifestivalen song in 1996 called "Den vilda" (here the Melodifestivalen performance) by the Swedish band One More Time that they sang later in Eurovision. Here the Eurovision live with great orchestra, male backing vocals and a piano solo [21] .. Just fantastic! werldwayd (talk) 17:52, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, the addition of controversies section in Miss Universe 2013 by you, seems to be a personal axe that you are grinding, that she tweeted about no power is factual, Olivia Culpo:Miss Universe 2012 also took pictures at the Taj Mahal, was that not a much bigger controversy, yet you did not update that on her page, may I ask why, becausue she is an American? Kindly stop the personal smeering of Miss Universe 2013 by placing unsourced and non conroversial material on the page --ThePageantGenie (talk) 12:22, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

I have now finished cleaning up the text that was incidentally very interesting. And since we are talking "Swedish trees", here is a song about Swedish trees. It's from Swedish singer Vincent Pontare in the delightful "Baby Hurricane" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB5onaN6nJk ... As for embracing the coming tough winter and snow on us, you in Sweden and me in Canada (that's where I live), this sunshiny song from a Swedish band called I'm from Barcelona from Jönköping actually. Song is called "Always Spring" accompanied by the magnificent arrangement of Jönköping Sinfonietta http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JY9uMaPgH8 .

I have now edited the article for Elisa Lindström. I celebrate every time I come by a Swedish talent. I have created pages for a great number of Swedish artists and music. See pages I have created brand new including the page for Elisa's LOL, and a list of subjects that were there but I greatly developed further in English Wikipedia. I even attempted some few Swedish language pages. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anv%C3%A4ndare:Werldwayd I dedicate to you a song called "Father's Lullaby" from a Swedish artist I like very much called Jonathan Fagerlund http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2Y0I5ALyMk . werldwayd (talk) 12:48, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
