Ways to improve Parkview Library

Hello, Derek J Moore,

Thank you for creating Parkview Library ↗.

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

{{Quote|1=There don't seem to be many references indepednent of the library that lend notability to this locally important topic. Most of the reference related to the context of reading in South Africa more broadly, which could be helpfully added elsewhere. I also wonder about the relevance of national literacy rates in Parkview, which seems to a be relatively affluent part of Johannesburg. Are there figures on local literacy being problematic?}}

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 <code><nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Klbrain<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. Remember to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>.

Klbrain (talk) 09:00, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

:<code><nowiki>{{Re|Klbrain}}</nowiki></code> Thanks for the helpful feedback and additional guidance. They are much appreciated. Parkview is a highly affluent area. Wealth and literacy should not, however, be conflated. The library also serves several high-functioning state schools, with children drawn in from various socio-economc groups.

Thanks for your contributions to Council on Higher Education ↗. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because '''it does not appear to be finished'''.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited SADiLaR ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page OER ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)

Reusable assignment ↗ moved to draftspace

Hi, I've moved this article to draftspace because I believe it is a better candidate for the WP:AFC ↗ process given that two of the citations in question appear to be to yourself. This is not automatically against Wikipedia policy, but I would recommend reading WP:SELFPUB ↗ and WP:SELFCITE ↗ to understand Wikipedia guidance on doing this safely.

Ahead of the AfC review, I would also recommend trying to find more sources that use the WP:COMMONNAME ↗ for the phenomenon that you're describing, along with more sources that involve editorial review - blogs and student newspapers don't really contribute much towards WP:NOTABILITY ↗. BrigadierG (talk) 21:33, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

:Hi BrigadierG. Okay. I’ll check the citations. Thanks for the advice. I recently have been granted access to the Wikipedia Library. I’m not sure if that is at your reccomendation. But I hope to up my citation quality now. Thanks Derek J Moore (talk) 04:26, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for creating Johannesburg Emergency Water Supply ↗.

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

Kloof Street Public Library ↗

Hello! I have seen that you created the article Kloof Street Public Library ↗.

Johannesburg Emergency Water Supply ↗

Hello, Derek J Moore. I see that you are actively editing this article ↗, but you don't seem to be working to resolving any of the issues with it, rather you are adding to them by simply updating current events. Could i suggest that you work on actually defining/describing the subject of the Johannesburg Emergency Water Supply, in such a way that it is both encyclopaedic and not a largely opinion piece (apparently) aimed at local users of the water supply. I'd suggest that you need a structure which first defines the problem and the reasons for it, then describes official/potential solutions, and finally gives current events as a small part of the article. If i can help in any way, please don't hesitate to ask, here or on my talk page ↗, as i would be happy to help improve the article ~ '''Lindsay''''''H ↗'''ello ↗ 13:19, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

:Hello Lindsay. Thanks for the advice and assistance. Its likely that in the next few weeks, a new picture about the water emergency is going to emerge. I will try to keep this up to date. So that readers can see what is happening with the water supply and perhaps hold city officials to account. Again, my thanks. Derek J Moore (talk) 19:03, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Luno (cryptocurrency company) ↗.

Wikimedia South Africa Engagement

Good Day Fellow Wikimedian

I write to invite you to a Wikimedia ZA birthday celebration which will take place on 22 February 2025 at the Goethe Institut in Parktown, Johannesburg and Code Bridge in Cape Town as well as online if you will not be able to join in person.

Wikimedia South Africa is a chapter founded on 25 February 2012 after being approved as a chapter by the Wikimedia Foundation on 26 March 2011. Our chapter seeks to promote local awareness of the projects and their proper academic use, encourage translation efforts into local languages and support the creation of local free knowledge and media

We are always looking to support South Africans or Africans in the promotion of free knowledge and to promote the enhancement of local knowledge in local languages on wikipedia and online for the benefit of all.

As a chapter engagement is an important strategic initiative and we would encourage you to check out the chapter on the links below.

Hi Derek J Moore. Thank you for your work on Bookdash ↗. Another editor, Justiyaya, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol ↗ and left the following comment:

{{Bq|1=The article is probably notable but tonally it appears to be quite promotional. Sourcing is not great either, with Timeslive.co.za being a newspaper but appearing to be written by the subject themselves. Would draftify if it was within the time limit.}}

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Tangible Africa ↗

48px|left|alt=|link= ↗

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as :Tangible Africa ↗, is considered to be vandalism ↗ and is prohibited ↗. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox ↗. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the '''loss of editing privileges ↗'''.

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 ↗.

Proposed deletion ↗ of Social impact publishing ↗

Hello, Derek J Moore

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Coeusin, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed ↗ an article that you started, Social impact publishing ↗, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria ↗, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article ↗.

If you wish to contest the deletion:

# impact publishing}}&action=edit Edit the page ↗
# Remove the text that looks like this: <code><nowiki>{{proposed deletion/dated...}}</nowiki></code>
# Click the {{Clickable button|Publish changes|color=blue|link=no}} button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to '''explain''' why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page ↗ and '''improve''' the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means ↗.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with <code><nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Coeusin<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. And remember to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>. Thanks!

Deletion discussion about Vredehoek library ↗

Hello Derek J Moore, 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, Vredehoek library ↗, 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/Vredehoek library ↗.

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 <code><nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Wasianpower<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. And don't forget to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> . Thanks!

Speedy deletion nomination of Middelburg Mpumalanga Map

Hello, Derek J Moore,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Guessitsavis, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged Middelburg Mpumalanga Map ↗ for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain ''any'' encyclopedic content. You may find our guide for writing quality articles ↗ to be extremely informative. Also, you may want to consider working on future articles in draft space ↗ first, where they cannot be deleted for lacking content.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can '''Mpumalanga Map}}&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion ↗''' but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Middelburg+Mpumalanga+Map&subtype=delete|deleting administrator}}.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with <code><nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Guessitsavis<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. And, don't forget to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> . Thanks!

{{divbox|gray|3=This draft is not adequately supported by reliable sources ↗. Wikipedia's verifiability policy ↗ requires that all content be supported by reliable sources ↗.

Reliable sources include: reputable newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and books from respected publishers.

Unacceptable sources include: personal blogs, social media, predatory publishers ↗, most tabloids ↗, and websites where anyone can contribute.

Replace any unreliable sources with high-quality sources. If you cannot find a reliable source for the material, it should be removed.|}}{{divbox|gray|3=This draft is not written from a neutral point of view ↗. Wikipedia articles must be written neutrally in a formal, impersonal, and dispassionate way. They should not read like a blog post, advertisement, or fan page. Rewrite the draft to remove:

''promotional language'': see Words to watch ↗;

''personal commentary'': opinions or direct addresses to the reader;

''informal language ↗.''

Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources ↗ that discuss the subject.|}}{{divbox|blue|3=The draft leans toward the promotional ("earned him recognition and respect within government and development circles")

However, the primary issue is that sourcing needs attention. See WP:BLP ↗. Statements, starting with the date of birth, need to be sourced or removed.

Sources don't always verify statements, for example, the recognition section is unsourced, the sources for his aunt and uncle don't verify the relationship, the source for "YES programme offers a "business-led" approach to social challenges" goes to an application page making no such claim, etc.}}

'''Next steps'''

Edit Draft:Ravindra Naidoo ↗ to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.

Thanks for your contributions to Blood's inner rhyme ↗. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because '''it needs more sources to establish notability'''.

Please note that pages in draft space, such as Draft:Claude Stroller ↗ are '''not''' allowed to be categorized alongside finished articles in mainspace, per WP:DRAFTNOCAT ↗.

You can provisionally list categories in your draft without affecting content categories by using one of the methods described here ↗.

As the page has had to be pulled out of categories twice in three hours, ''do not'' readd it to categories again, because draft and sandbox pages are not allowed to be in content categories.
