Question
One question, are art galleries and art centers considered museums? Well I recently did an article about an art center in Al Ain. I used the museum infobox for the article, since other articles about art centers on Wikipedia use this infobox, an example are the articles on Arlington Arts Center and Woodruff Arts Center. Bkissin who accepted my draft placed the Wikiproject Museums banner on the talk page and placed the "Museums in the United Arab Emirates" category. I plan to do an article on the Nairobi Gallery in Kenya, and I wonder if I should place the museums infobox for that article.- Seb { 💬  Talk  + 📝  Edits  } 00:29, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

 * A museum is normally distinguished by a permanent collection of objects. The AlQattara Arts Centre apparently has "a small museum in which archaeological artifacts are stored", so would seem to qualify. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 14:43, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

 * By the way, I found an image on Flickr that has a license compatible with Wikipedia, should I place this image in the article Al Qattara Arts Centre?- Seb { 💬  Talk  + 📝  Edits  } 21:30, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

 * That should be fine if you follow all the "rules"! —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 21:39, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Thank you very much for adding categories to the Al Qattara Arts Center article, could you do the same for the Skifa Kahla article? Skifa Kahla is a fortification in Mahdia, Tunisia. In the Al Qattara Arts Center article I added two sources in Arabic, they explain a little about the construction of the Al Qattara fort, its construction dates back to the Iron Age.- Seb { 💬  Talk  + 📝  Edits  } 17:11, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

 * I added categories and did some tidying. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 18:21, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

 You appear to have a close connection to the subject on Wikipedia that raises concerns about a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged.

Anyone with a conflict of interest must avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing articles related to you, your family or colleagues, your organization or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Note that you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure. Even if you are not being paid, you are expected to disclose any close connection with the subject of the article, using the connected contributor template.

 * For information, I have published with IGI Global in the past, but not since 2011, ten years ago. I am unlikely to again with the controversy around the company. I have never been paid by IGI Global and I have never paid them any money (e.g. for publication). I do not know anyone in the company and I have not contacted them since 2011. In my recent edits of Draft:IGI Global, I have added a "Controversy" section with references, that I believe makes the company "notable" in Wikipedia terms. In the past, some Wikipedia editors have been actively hostile to the company, accusing it of being a "vanity publishing" company and using this as a reason for it to be removed from Wikipedia. However, given that I have never paid any money to the company, this is not my experience. In any case, this is orthogonal to arguments for or against whether it should be on Wikipedia. In fact, I believe the number of independent references generated by the controversy means that it should be on Wikipedia. And I believe that the fact that I have not been in contact with the company for ten years means that I am sufficiently independent for there not to be any serious WP:COI. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 12:47, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of POL Oxygen

The article POL Oxygen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: "Page has existed since 2005 and it is still only a single paragraph."

Exhibition catalogues
Hi, I noticed you did some editing at Exhibition catalogue (thank you!). Personally I feel that 'exhibition catalogue' really refers to the type produced to accompany exhibitions at galleries and museums, rather than the trade show type also discussed in that article. I posted on the talk page about moving that stuff to the trade show article. What do you think? Talk:Exhibition_catalogue Ascendingrisingharmonising (talk) 15:36, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Virtual Library museums pages and deleted article Virtual Museum of Computing
Hello Jpbowen. I am Diannaa and I am a Wikipedia administrator. While normally it's okay to copy from one Wikipedia article to another (as long as proper attribution is provided), it's not okay to paste content from a deleted article into an extant article. That's because the attribution has been lost - the list of contributors in the article history is a record of everyone who contributed to the article, and we need that list to fulfill the "attribution" part of our Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. Sorry but I have had to remove your addition to Virtual Library museums pages for that reason. — Diannaa (talk) 01:12, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Dept of Biology
Hi @Jpbowen, wondered if you could give your wiki thoughts on this draft: Draft:Department of Biology, University of Oxford. I work for the Uni so I have a COI, but the Department was just launched to replace the old departments of Zoology and Plant Sciences, so I have taken content from there and been as objective as possible when creating the page. 48jkb35m (talk) 16:11, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

 * @48jkb35m the issue seems to be that the department is so new that there are no adequate independent references yet. Has the opening of the department been covered in newspapers, magazines or journals? These would help. otherwise, it would be best to include information on the new department under sections in the pages on the two old departments until the new department has sufficient independent coverage. I hope this helps. 86.187.225.140 (talk) 19:13, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Greetings!
Hi there Prof. Bowen. I came across a bunch of documents with your name on them, outlining microprocessors, their pinouts, and instructions sets -- all formatted neatly in ASCII and with scripts to create PostScript and PDF outputs. These have come in handy many times over the last few years as I work with some vintage equipment, and when I found out who you actually were I had to stop by and say hello, and thanks for your excellent work from circa 1985!

Portrait of Count Stanislas Potocki by David
Hello Jonathan! I saw that you have made some really valuable contributions to WP Visual Arts and I am looking for editors interested in collaborating on Portrait of Count Stanislas Potocki, a painting by Jacques-Louis David from 1781. The article has been mostly abandoned for the last two years and I would love to bring it to GA or FA level, though due to academic writing commitments, I might be unable to do it on my own any time soon. And feel free to recommend someone else if this is not something you would be interested in participating. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Many thanks.

Your contributed article, University don

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, University don. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Don (academia). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Don (academia). If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. -- NotC hariza rd 🗨 13:19, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, DavidBFox. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article David Fox (game designer), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.  Yinta n  23:05, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Attention span

Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 28 January 2020 and 12 May 2020. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Rylie.Dean001.

Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT (talk) 14:58, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

This is in conflict with another article
Screenager Wijiwang 22:23, 23 July 2005 (UTC);

Span of Attention Span, eventually by age?
How long is the average attention span? I've heard a minute 30, or 30 seconds or 15 even. I think the article should say what the commonly accepted one is (if there is differing opinion) and state why others are considered Gohst 14:19, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * An article like this can at least give some clues about age related to attention span. Like Attention span = age-years x 3 to 5 minutes; 6 years x 3 to 5 minutes = 18 to 30 minutes attention span. --SvenAERTS (talk) 17:34, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Irony
Does anyone else think that the length of this article is ironic? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Musungu jim (talk • contribs) 19:52, August 31, 2006 (UTC)

Music psychology
It was mentioned that television viewing may result in a reduction in one's attention span.

I would like to pose the hypothesis that listening to specific types of music distracting to the listener would reduce their concentration and attention span as well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.255.54.120 (talk • contribs) 05:41, September 25, 2006 (UTC)

1 second long attention span, pardon?
The second paragraph of the "attention span" article states that, while on the computer, people have a 1 second long attention span. The very fact that I could type this response refutes that. Furthermore, I can't seem to find any sources that legitimately support this allegation. Instead of a "citation needed" for that statement, maybe it should be taken down altogether.

Does anyone else agree? Maybe I just can't find the facts that support what's said, but it seems like vandalism to me. Thanks.

Gnarled Fingers 23:31, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

my (admittedly) unhelpful edit was remoevd... but really now..
well.. the portion titled: "Attention Spans of People in Sports" is quite bad in every respect. this is not my personal opinion, it's just poorly written and of little to no use to anyone reading this.74.13.201.10 (talk) 03:54, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Lincoln–Douglas debates of 1858
The information included in this article about the Lincoln–Douglas debates of 1858 is just plain wrong. First of all, the debates ran for three hours, not the eight or ten hours that this author mistakenly claims. They also weren't one solid 'thing', since they were a series of speeches. From the perspective of attention research, at the very minimum, you would have to count each separate speech as a separate thing. This means that the absolute maximum length you'd be considering was 90 minutes -- a range of lecture length familiar to nearly all modern students.

There is no evidence that the "sustained attention" to the debates was what modern researchers would call sustained attention. In fact, the cultural rules would have allowed the audience to get up and leave, or to whisper quietly to their neighbors, or to stare vacantly into space, whenever they wanted -- all signs of inattention.

The subject of the debates was of literally life-and-death importance to many of the listeners, which also matters. The audience was self-selected for the people who were the most interested in the topic, which was essentially "Will my country be destroyed by civil war next year?" A modern equivalent might be watching television reporting around 9/11 -- and there were certainly some "modern" people with supposedly "decreased" attention spans who were absolutely glued to their televisions for many hours at a time during the crisis.

In short, while the named source does contain the claims reported here, these claims are so obviously and demonstrably false that they deserve no mention. I have, accordingly, reduced the claim to facts that won't actually embarrass the author of the claims (even though he may deserve the embarrassment) and won't mislead our readers, such as the fact that the author believes attention spans have been reduced.

Legacy (American TV series)

Legacy is an American western drama series starring Brett Cullen which aired on UPN for eighteen episodes from 1998 to 1999. The series is set on a Kentucky horse farm soon after the American Civil War. Cullen's character of Ned Logan is the 42-year-old widowed patriarch of the family. The series focuses on domestic and romantic crises, such as the arrival of 17-year-old orphan Jeremy, and Sean Logan's interracial affair with the daughter of a former slave.

Overview
A family-run horse farm nestled among the rolling bluegrass country provides the picturesque backdrop for Legacy, a family drama series that chronicles the proud and close-knit Logan family as they struggle to maintain their deep-seated family values of hard work and integrity in a society increasingly driven by money, power, and self-indulgence.

"My grandfather came to this country 100 years ago and built an incredible life for his family out of nothing. This land means everything to us... He left us a legacy – to give others less fortunate than we are a chance to turn their lives around.' – Ned Logan."

In Legacy, Ned seeks to pass on the "legacy" of his Irish ancestors – to build a solid foundation of love and support for his family while giving others less fortunate a chance to make better lives for themselves. Beyond stables of horses and acres of farmland, Ned must keep sight of his family, whose lofty ambitions, romantic entanglements, and mischievous adventures ensure the Logans notoriety within social circles. Eldest son Sean (Grayson McCouch) is a handsome, charismatic young man with a promising future and a secret love that could threaten his dreams; Clay (Jeremy Vincent Garrett), the passionate, yet hot-tempered son, who often feels that his father's compassion for others does not extend to him; Alice (Lea Moreno), an upright and conflicted teenager forced by her mother's death to play the maternal role in the family, but still searching for her own identity; and Lexy (Sarah Rayne), the youngest and most willful of the offspring, who often demonstrates wisdom beyond her years.

Adding drama to the family's already delicate balance is Jeremy (Ron Melendez), a street-wise and troubled 17 year-old orphan from New York who is taken in by Ned Logan. With a history of dishonesty and petty crime, Jeremy finds himself a fish out of water as he builds both relationships and rifts with the rest of the family.

Speedy deletion nomination of Petricola pholadiformis
A tag has been placed on Petricola pholadiformis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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 admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Nomination of Shafer's Wager for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Shafer's Wager 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 Articles for deletion/Shafer's Wager 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 notice from the top of the article. Meatsgains (talk) 21:27, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

December 2016
I am not a representative of Wikipedia or an administrator, but I did notice your questions on the recently-concluded AfD on Shafer's Wager. Having been involved in numerous AfD discussions, I would like to offer the following observations: I hope this is a useful comment. I saw your questions and believe you deserve an answer, even if it is a highly-unofficial one. Thanks. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 23:56, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
 * "I codified ...Shafer's Wager ...and I wanted to preserve it in Wikipedia..." This kind of statement will always be a red flag to other editors. Aside from the obvious markers for conflict of interest, it also will strike many editors as some combination of trying to use Wikipedia as a soapbox or as a web host for your ideas.  Some editors will even go farther and think this means it is a thing you made up one day that will never be notable.
 * "Do I need to get the New York Times to mention it?" It certainly wouldn't hurt.
 * "What does it take to create multiple reliable sources for something I came up with?" You can't just create reliable sources. Even if you did, anything you created about your concept wouldn't be independent.  Does that mean you are doomed?  No.  If you want Wikipedia to notice it, you need to get other people to notice your idea first.  If you publish Shafer's Wager some where (or, more likely, lots of somewheres) and then other sources pick it up and it becomes part of a conversation, then it will generate the third-party sources that are needed.  There isn't a way to have a hypothesis or similar intellectual concept simply added to Wikipedia.
