US NC Templates

You made several edits in these templates. I am going to review these edits but I can see several that need to be reverted. For example you inserted Doris Brown Heritage in place of Doris Brown. That was not her name in most of her competitive career, she didn't marry Ralph Heritage until after winning most of those championships. Heritage was not published in those results. Also you eliminated lower placing American Champions. In the days when international athletes were allowed to enter the US Championships, they could be called champions but the true American champion was the first US citizen. Those names are still relevant. Trackinfo (talk) 19:28, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

@Trackinfo, thanks for reaching out. I wrote a script (User:Habst/getWikiWinners.js) to automatically generate these types of templates based on reading the historical results from Wikipedia, and I created a page List of USA Indoor Track and Field Championships winners to keep track and create the missing ones. We of course need for it to be correct, though, so open to feedback like this.
  • Re: Doris Brown Heritage --  Done. I think that if she is most known by a different name, then her Wikipedia page should be moved to that name per WP:COMMONNAME. The script always links to the Wikipedia name for the person, and the policy WP:NAVNOREDIRECT says that redirects shouldn't be used in navboxes. That being said we can get around this by using a piped link, so I did that as a temporary fix.
  • Listing top US finishers -- Should already be  Done. The script automatically can detect if the winner is a foreign guest and will keep going down the results until it finds the top American in each event, so this should already be done. In that case both the winner and American champion should be listed along with the top U.S. athlete's place. Are there any cases you found where this wasn't performed correctly?
P.S. The days in which international athletes were allowed to enter U.S. champs actually never ended. As recently as the 2024 United States Olympic trials (track and field), Lindon Victor was allowed to compete as a guest in the decathlon. They did it so that the meet was "international" and could be listed on the 2024 World Athletics Combined Events Tour and would provide extra ranking points so that it would be more likely the top 3 U.S. finishers would qualify.
Thanks, --Habst (talk) 20:22, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
Re: Heritage. This is a timing issue, sometimes a billing issue with married women. Sydney McLaughlin, Marie-Josée Ta Lou, Chase Ealey, all can take a new name and format it the way they wish, change the master name of the article so it links, but that doesn't change the name they competed under before the change. Trackinfo (talk) 04:56, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
Re:Victor Yes, a lot of these guys know each other and communicate. I know Victor, note who took his picture. He trains here. He likes to drop into competitions to work on a few events, he didn't take it seriously. He couldn't qualify for the Olympics from it. A few decades ago, these hot shots would come to the USA to run against and beat the Americans on their home soil. Eventually that is why they were no longer allowed in, taking lanes away from Americans. Trackinfo (talk) 05:17, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Women in Green's "Around the World in 31 Days" GA Editathon – October 2024

Hello Habst:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Road races map

Could you help me with adding two missing Platinum label races (London Marathon and Amsterdam Marathon) to the world map in 2024 World Athletics Label Road Races? I am not entirely sure how it was set up (perhaps the different colors could be briefly explained in the map caption?). – Editør (talk) 12:14, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

@Editør, thanks, I set it up by first creating the table on the page using User:Habst/getWaTour.js, then after I double checked that everything in the "Venue" column was a blue link, I used User:Habst/mapLocations.js to create the map. The 3 different colors are for gold, platinum, or platinum+gold (e.g. for two different races that are held in the same city).
I added London and Amsterdam with these edits. --Habst (talk) 12:38, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for adding the markers and explaining the colors. – Editør (talk) 12:46, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

2025 Update from Women in Green

Hello Habst:

2024 has wrapped up, and what a full year it was for WikiProject Women in Green! Over the past year, we hosted two edit-a-thons, one themed around women's history and another on women around the world. We also managed to achieve most of our 2024 annual goals, nominating 75 articles for GA, reviewing 64 GA nominations, nominating 8 articles for FAC, peer reviewing 3 articles and reviewing 10 FAC nominations. Excellent work, and thank you to everyone involved!

For 2025 we have a new set of goals for nominations and reviews. In particular, we would like to see more articles on our Hot 100 list being improved and nominated for GA this year. If you take a look at the list and see an article you are interested in contributing to, feel free to add it and yourself to our Hot 100 project discussion. You might even find someone interested in collaborating with you!

This year, as with every year, we hope you will join us in helping improve our coverage of women and women's works on this encyclopedia. Every contribution helps. We'll see you around!

Help with drafts

Hey @Habst!

A few months back, I had created articles on various high school track meets I thought were significant, including Brooks PR Invitational, HOKA Festival of Miles, and Nike Indoor Nationals. They were draftified as I mostly sourced them to the event host which does not show notability.

I saw you had improved the Athlos article. If you'd like and if you think these meets pass notability guidelines, I was wondering if you want to split up the work for making properly sourced mainspace articles for these three championships? Since NON has an article, NIN probably should as well. Brooks PR and HOKA Festival of Miles I feel are worthy of articles too since they represent significant high school and/or pro meetings.

If not, not worries. Cheers! KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 14:48, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi @KnowledgeIsPower9281, OK, I'll take a look at those. I think they should be notable and doing a WP:Newspapers.com search I can see a few sources already. --Habst (talk) 15:05, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
Hey @KnowledgeIsPower9281, thanks for starting the work on this. I improved Brooks PR Invitational and moved it to mainspace. Here are some tips for the rest:
  • The lede should be more than one sentence and should be encyclopedic, i.e. avoid terms like "major" or WP:PEACOCK words unless they're sourced to a reliable third party not affiliated with the event like a newspaper.
  • A table of editions should be added with sources for each, because that's typical in most meet articles and it's important to at least get the date of establishment. For example Brooks PR started as an indoor meeting but that wasn't in the draft at first.
  • Usually least one newspaper source should be included with significant prose (i.e. paragraphs and not just results listings), you can apply for free Newspapers.com access at WP:Newspapers.com to search for and create clippings which is helpful for this.
Can you try to revise the other two articles with this in mind and I can look them over? --Habst (talk) 15:52, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Hey @Habst! Thank you for the feedback! I'll get these done when I can and I'll give you a ping when they're improved! KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 00:44, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Wiki page describing "PetScan Link"

Hi - I did not find a Wiki page describing "PetScan Link" ... how to use, how to create, etc. [Related to discussion on Masters Athletes that competed in the Olympics] PlainDonut (talk) 01:39, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi @PlainDonut, PetScan is described here: Wikipedia:PetScan
You can create PetScans by going to https://petscan.wmcloud.org/, filling in which categories you want to intersect, and then copying the link. You can also use this template which formats it in a sidebar box: {{PetScan}}.
I inserted the PetScan we discussed in the CfD into Category:American masters athletes. --Habst (talk) 14:10, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Request for page creations

May i kindly request page creations for Raleigh Geiger and Laurie Gomez Henes? Geiger was the coach of the NC State XC and TF teams for decades. Henes is the current coach at NC State. Both have more than enough accolades to qualify as important.


I would attempt to start the pages but their legacies are too daunting.


Thank you. CannisRoofus (talk) 18:22, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi @CannisRoofus, I appreciate the request but have been kind of busy lately. If you make a draft, I'd be happy to review / approve it, though. --Habst (talk) Habst (talk) 21:08, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
Hi @Habst, i completely understand. it looks like you've been super busy. i'll try to cobble together a draft of the pages in the next few weeks and pass them along for review. Thank you

Ismael Mahmoud Ghassab

Where is he mentioned in https://www.newspapers.com/article/ventura-county-star-ferndale-farewell-jo/166214997/ ? LibStar (talk) 02:03, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi @LibStar, he's mentioned by name at the end of the article. With a WP:newspapers.com account you can do a text search of clippings.
Speaking of Ghassab, I think you are doing too many PRODs in too short time -- 55 of them in the last five days by my count. The issue with doing that many so quickly is it takes time to check for sources for each one so some might slip through the cracks. --Habst (talk) 12:52, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
you have 7 days to decline each prod. LibStar (talk) 22:17, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
And you don't seem to get involve in non-athletics sportspeople. LibStar (talk) 22:22, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
@LibStar, there have been 65+ PRODs by you in the last seven days. That would be impossible for any one person to verify each of those in only seven days. I would focus on other topics as well, but there are too many for me to do that. Why not limit to only a few per day? --Habst (talk) 13:45, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
There are literally 100s if not 1000s of prods and 1000s of AfDs a week. You seem to be picking on me. I will continue to prod as I see fit, you are welcome to deprod. You have a full 7 days to act. LibStar (talk) 13:57, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
I also prod organizations, should I stop doing that too? You have no interest in non-athletics sportspeople or organizations. I have never seen you deprod those. LibStar (talk) 14:00, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
@LibStar, I disagree with many of those PRODs, but you are the one that came to my talk page so I was responding to what I noticed as an uptick mostly from you. And I do occasionally deprod other subjects, for example at Special:Diff/1251323326. But when there are so many and they're all time-limited, I have to focus on the areas I'm more knowledgeable about. At some point, one person making hundreds of PRODs in a few weeks becomes too much for the community to verify. --Habst (talk) 14:19, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
You remind me of an editor who wanted AfDs to be 2 weeks. You have never deprodded or participated in an AfD I've nominated for a non-athletics sportsperson, organisation, or other topics I regularly nominate like people , bilateral relations and embassies. I will continue to nominate, you have not dissuaded me. LibStar (talk) 14:23, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
What would be the issue with AfDs being two weeks? Anyways, you're free to continue, I'm just letting you know that many of your PRODs will be contested because it's unlikely that someone can do a thorough source search on that many in such a short timeframe. --Habst (talk) 14:39, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
There are literally 100s if not 1000s of prods and 1000s of AfDs a week. You basically want this established process to stop for your convenience. Only a fraction of my prods are athletics people which seems the sole topic you're interested in. Are you going to comment on the AfD for a university architecture school I nominated today? Please do. LibStar (talk) 14:43, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
@LibStar, the process should be followed efficiently and too many PRODs that can be contested with a thorough search can jeopardize that. I might disagree with your mentioned nomination as well, my editing time is limited so I focus on what I know most about given the volume of time-sensitive tasks. --Habst (talk) 14:57, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

Procedural Keep?

Hi! Thanks, as always, for your detailed insight on the AfDs. If I may make one suggestion - and this is as a fellow editor, zero to do with being an admin and closer of some of these. I think it's time to retire the procedural case argument. While you're right that N:EXIST is the basis for an argument to keep, I don't think any of these has been closed procedurally. You and others make your excellent cases and that's how they're closed. Am I missing something in your PKeep? Thanks either way. Star Mississippi 03:12, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

@Star Mississippi, sorry for the delayed response, I was in a country where Wikipedia was blocked but am more available now. I hear you and understand what you're saying. I was referring to a similar case from last year where 109 PRODs were procedurally kept on similar grounds, but I acknowledge that PRODs and AfDs are different and the recent AfD volume has been less than the Seefooddiet PROD volume. I can see that the nominator in all my PKeep cases has been advised by an admin to slow down the rate of AfDs which I appreciate, and I likewise appreciate you reaching out as well. I won't make that argument again unless the volume is similar to the Seefooddiet case (i.e. hundreds in a few hours). --Habst (talk) 12:08, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
and then I was offline for a while. No worries at all.
I think volume: whether a bundle or quantity we as a community can't keep up with is different. I've definitely closed some bundles as PKeep/Trainwreck because there is no path forward in that discussion.
That said, I also agree with the comment at Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Emil_Kalous that we need a better solution since these discussions are wasting significant community time as all of you (whether or not you actually agree on retention) spend significant amount of time digging for the data behind your !votes and it's not sustainable given the quantity of stubs Lugnuts created. Have a good day and safe travels. Star Mississippi 14:02, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks!

OCR

The discussion is closed, and this was off topic anyway, but you said:

I have the full text of the study cited, and it seems to say the opposite? ... Because a digit is considered a non-word, this would indicate a lot more word errors such as the subject's name.

There is a misunderstanding here. A real word error is an error where the OCR gives a real word that is not the correct word. Their example is "hear" instead of "bear". The reason these are higher than non word errors is exactly because of what I said OCR software is doing: it looks at the whole word shape. It also uses dictionaries. So if you have an elided word that should be bear, the software may not notice the elision under the b, because it looks like the valid word, hear. However if you had a word like betwixt with the same elision, hetwixt would be meaningless, so the software will probably get that one right, rather than presenting the non word, hetwixt. Names, for this purpose, are real words. Dictionaries used by OCR would generally contain names as "real words". Cheers. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:13, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

@Sirfurboy, thanks. I think that there are two assumptions I would disagree with: one, that names like "Ali Khamis Rashid Al-Neyadi" or their parts would be in the word dataset; and two, that none of those component words could be misinterpreted as another word if elided. I think we would need an Arabic language expert to say for sure. --Habst (talk) 17:57, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

NEXIST

As ridiculous as many of these Olympian AFDs may be, personally, I'd suggest to try to avoid making NEXIST "keep" arguments for all of them, especially ones where nothing of any substance can be found (e.g. Lê Quang Khải or Farouk Ahmed Sayed). For ones like Mohamed Ould Khalifa, where there's some coverage we can point to, or if they have major accomplishments (e.g. multi-time Olympics with medals at major competitions), it could be warranted, but all I can say is that there's many editors who don't like others !voting "keep" without SIGCOV; I was once brought to ANI over doing the same (here, although it was in part due to civility as well as casting "keep" comments w/o sigcov). Just a suggestion. BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:36, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

@BeanieFan11, thank you for the comment. I hear you and I'll take that into consideration. --Habst (talk) 22:45, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
I'd just like to give another reminder that its probably best to focus on ones that have some level of coverage, rather than ones for which almost nothing can be found, like e.g. Raja Faradj Al-Shalawi – There's a not insignificant number of users who strongly dislike "keep" votes without SIGCOV. Remember that if they're redirected they can be brought back when SIGCOV is found; it might be useful for us to start contacting newspapers, Olympic committees, etc. to see if they're aware of SIGCOV on the athletes.

@BeanieFan11, thank you for the reminder. OK, I will not !vote keep on subjects with only the usual World Athletics / Tilastopaja / Olympedia sources, unless the WA/Tilastopaja list other non-one-time Olympic accomplishments or Olympedia has a bio written. I agree with you about contacting papers – maybe there should be an extra category for the Sports Cleanup Contest for converting articles that were soft-deleted or redirected with new SIGCOV --Habst (talk) 13:01, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

ATH Euro Club

Hello. i have questions about European Champion Clubs Cup (athletics)

1- Will these competitions no longer be held from 2019 onwards? Has it been cancelled altogether?

2- Where can I find the full results of these competitions? I searched a lot. I couldn't find anything.

2006 European Champion Clubs Cup - Can you create articles for all years?

http://www.gbrathletics.com/ic/ech.htm - incomplete

https://www.tilastopaja.eu/beta/results/12873979 - need to login

https://www.tilastopaja.eu/beta/users/join.php - Unfortunately registration is disabled at this time.

3- I tried to become a member but it was not possible. Are you a member? Are there results from all years now? What is the reason why the competitions are no longer held?

Thanks a lot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmaaxw (talk • contribs)

Hi User:Cmaaxw, thanks for getting in touch. I don't know the current status of the European Champion Clubs Cup for athletics. It seems like it stopped after 2019. If you can find a source saying it's been cancelled, please add it to the article.
I also don't think that there's a source for full results anywhere, you would have to check local newspapers or contact European Athletics. gbrathletics has all medalists until about 2007.
I don't really have the bandwidth to create articles for each year right now, but if you create them as drafts, post them here and I can approve them.
I am a Tilastopaja member, I have it for free through WP:Tilastopaja but you need an account at least 6 months old with 500 edits to apply for that. The Tilastopaja results have every year from 2005 to 2019 but they vary a lot, sometimes they are nearly complete but sometimes only a few winners. Let me know any specific year and I can send you the results. --Habst (talk) 13:38, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Diamond League Shanghai

A tag has been placed on Category:Diamond League Shanghai indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Brandon Downes (talk) 23:18, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

@Brandon Downes Thanks, I think these should be moved via WP:CfD/S (under WP:Twinkle menu XfD -> CfD/S) in the future, that way the Wikidata item gets moved as well. But I did it manually for now to Category:Shanghai Diamond League so it's OK this time --Habst (talk) 00:23, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
Agh apologies I did tag you over on discord asking which one would be best but deleted after I thought I had found the correct one, looks like I didnt but thank you. Brandon Downes (talk) 00:26, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
