Draft talk:Dhruv Vikram (actor)

You moved Dhruv Vikram (actor) to Draft:Dhruv Vikram (actor). Thank you for your involvement, however I feel this article would have been better suited with my PROD tag on mainspace.

The reason for this is that I believe that the article did not satisfy the requirements for it to be moved to draftspace. Namely, it did not meet the requirements laid out at Wikipedia:Drafts#During_new_page_review. The topic had potential merit, did not meet the required standard, however there was active involvement by an editor who is clearly very active, and had no COI issues. A simple web search will reveal that the actor is probably notable. I ask you to reconsider, therefore, in this case or stipulate your ideas as to why you disagree.   Kadzi  (talk) 16:48, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Dr. Kadzi, Hello, yeah the actor was notable from google queries, but the article itself was a mess thus I used criteria 1 and 2 mentioned in Wikipedia:Drafts#During_new_page_review which states that “ articles can be moved to draft space if it doesn’t meet the required standards but has some merit hence a better alternative to deletion. Or what do you suggest? Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 16:54, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
I agree that the article was messy; however in order to draftify it should have met the three points stipulated in the guidelines.

"1. the topic has some potential merit, and 2. the article does not meet the required standard, and either 3 or 4."

As an objection it further stipulates in Wikipedia:Drafts#Requirements_for_page_movers that this article should be moved back to mainspace and an AfD tag applied for it to be discussed there. Thank you   Kadzi  (talk) 16:58, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Dr. Kadzi, I guess I should have checked the page history, since you have asked, I am moving the article back to main space. Since it may not survive that long in main space, I better add BLP unsourced tag for any editor to consider improving the article to meet WP:STUB and have reliable sources. Thanks for the notification. Regards Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 17:02, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
Dr. Kadzi,   Done Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 17:07, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
Cheers. To be fair, a few simple edits should save this one that I'll try to make in a few minutes, however I just thought it would be a shame to let an notable individual get stuck waiting to be approved in draftspace where it was ready to go with a few edits. Thanks for your help .   Kadzi  (talk) 17:08, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
Update I've done the bare minimum that should keep it live now, hopefully the article creator and/or others will contribute in due course.   Kadzi  (talk) 17:14, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
Dr. Kadzi, Happy to help, the articles looks a little better. Cheers Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 17:45, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

I have completed the task Fisha Malik (talk) 12:34, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

I think I edited the right thing in the page of Kunal Kamra

Kunal Kamra is running agendas against Hinduism and the BJP government. It's the fact, you can clarify if you wish. So I request you to add that line which is a fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jagdish.tripathy31 (talkcontribs) 07:14, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Jagdish.tripathy31, We have strict policies on biographies of living persons. Your edits were:

How's it going?

Are you working on the paragraphs? Atsme Talk 📧 00:56, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Atsme, Yeah of course, I wrote a draft on paper. I am yet to copy it on my computer, I’ll be done in the next day or so. Regards Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 06:25, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

other users talk pages

Is there a reason why you set up auto-archiving on someone else's talk page or was there a request by this user? Or this one and this one Praxidicae (talk) 17:17, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, you probably shouldn't be archiving other editor's talk pages without their permission. Primefac (talk) 17:24, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
Primefac Praxidicae, I came across this today. If I got it wrong, were the user requesting the talk page to be achieved? If I got it wrong you may revert at will. Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 17:32, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
That template is an interesting one, and I'll be completely honest I'm not sure if that's a "please help me archive" template or a "this page is getting long, so it should be archived" notice template. Either way, in the case of RafaelPPascual they did not add it so even if it is a "help me archive" style template they might not actually want help. I do note that that entire family of templates is up for discussion (i.e. whether to delete or not) so I wouldn't be basing any major editing on them. Primefac (talk) 17:37, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
Primefac, Got it Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 17:39, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
Please just stick to actually improving content and don't mess with maintenance areas. Archiving active users talk pages is very much frowned upon, especially considering these are very experienced users who can do so themselves. The tags that put them in that category should be ignored since it was done by other editors. Praxidicae (talk) 17:36, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
Praxidicae, I mostly deal with maintenance areas though like delsort, I’ll stay away from that category , Yes, but don’t ask me to not mess with maintain everything work after a single mistake! Please check your tone. Do you mean i should stay away from areas like Delsort and Page curation (because that’s what I do here). I will accept criticism for my mistakes, but seriously!!:( Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 17:44, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
You lack the experience to dabble in the areas you're involving yourself in. There is no tone here, but you can interpret that how you want. Praxidicae (talk) 17:45, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
Praxidicae, which area specifically? (apart from the achieving thing). I remember days ago you came to my talk page telling me about warnings, without evaluating the situation, and yes I find your tone offensive. Happy editing Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 17:52, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Metal Max Xeno: Reborn 2

Which criteria would be best. Fisha Malik (talk) 10:22, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Fisha Malik, I don’t think that meets any CSD criteria, seems controversial. If you doubt it’s notability, better take it to AFD. Regards Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 10:35, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Tanvi hegde, I have added two CSD tags over it please see Fisha Malik (talk) 17:38, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Fisha Malik, Got deleted Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 18:05, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Regarding this edit

Why, exactly, did you revert a blocked user's unblock request? GeneralNotability (talk) 13:00, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

GeneralNotability, I was using an anti vandal tool, I might have misunderstood the diff between revisions,, I should have taken a close look and fix it. Regards Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 14:31, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Bill Wackermann

I am attempting to delete inaccurate and repeated damaging information, from former Wilhelmina fired employees from my Wiki Page. These hostile negative edits are meant to inaccurately damage my character and reputation.

I would like your help.

Hello Ngangaesther, most of the times when your article gets reviewed, it is connected to our sister project wikiidata. To learn more about Wikidata, read WP:WIKIDATA. That’s not a bad thing, it just means your articles are good and have been reviewed. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Cheers Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 06:27, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

NPP trial

I see that Spencer awarded you temp reviewer rights. Why didn't you advise me of it? Is Spencer aware that you were still taking my course at User_talk:Atsme/NPP_training?? Atsme Talk 📧 19:54, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

No I was not informed of this in the request that was emailed to me. User:Synoman Barris, I am going to go ahead and remove the rights for now. Pending satisfactory completion of the course, please request permissions at WP:RFP/NPR. My apologies for the inconvenience, but I do believe that the course will be quite beneficial for you. @Atsme: Thank you for bringing this to my attention and my apologies for the oversight; I reviewed what I had been given, and while I felt like the rights were appropriate given what I reviewed, I do agree that NPP training completion is very appropriate in this setting. Best, SpencerT•C 20:16, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
Atsme, I am sorry for not informing you of my request to Spencer, Are there any problems with my reviewing?I was planning on pinging you after taking the next task, actually I emailed @Spencer:and told him that I wanted to the temporary rights. I guess maybe I am not appropriate for this, I will not hold any grudge if you plan on stopping the training due to my misbehavior. I guess I should have notified you earlier. I fucked up once again :(. Regards Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 21:40, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
My advice is for you to finish the course, and when you finish each session, go ahead and set-up the next one. I will be reviewing your work right behind you. Your answers should be succinct overviews hitting on the key points. After you complete the PAG session, the next 3 sessions will be very important, particularly Communications and most importantly Deletion. Megan, as our NPP Tutorial states: Reviewing needs a near-admin knowledge of deletion and notability policies. Learn the flowchart so that it becomes 2nd nature to you. Ping if you have any questions. Atsme Talk 📧 23:09, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
SB - while I'm here, I noticed this thread - thought I should comment. NPP review is massively more difficult to do well than counter vandalism work. It took me over a month to complete Barkeep49's NPP course, with both of us working quite intensively on it, and I did not request the permission until he told me that he thought I was ready. I would strongly counsel you to take the same approach with your trainer - please don't rush this, take your time and build up experience before attempting to fly NPP solo. (Courtesy ping to Atsme.) GirthSummit (blether) 10:31, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
Girth Summit, Thanks for the advice Girth, i had made a mistake and I regret it. I will make sure i finish the course until Atsme tells me i am ready. I am actually thankful for her kindness and endurance. She is a good trainer just like you. Cheers Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 17:06, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Unexplained content removal

Hi SB - I came across this interaction this morning (while investigating diffs from a current student, who had edited the page before you). You reverted with the edit summary 'unexplained removal' - but the person who you reverted (twice) actually provided a reason for removal in their edit summary both times, indicating that the company is no longer involved in the production of these films. Now, the editor didn't provide a link to a source confirming that what they were doing was correct - but it wasn't unexplained. In a situation like that, bearing WP:BITE in mind, I wouldn't mind a revert, but you should be clear about why you are doing it, and perhaps reach out to the new editor and ask them to provide a source on the article talk page. Please be a bit more careful about that sort of thing. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 10:25, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Girth Summit, Hello Girth, actually I was using SW viewer when patrolling the recent changes, I guess I didn’t see the edit summary by the editor. The SW viewer provides automatic edit summaries hence the ( unexplained content). Next time i will be carefull im such situation and i will actually see the diff from the actual Wikipedia page before reverting. Thank you for reminding me Girth. Cheers Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 17:03, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
Synoman Barris, OK, understood. As I think we discussed before, I'm not too familiar with SW viewer, but I'm slightly alarmed that you would be doing RC patrolling with a tool that doesn't show you the edit summary (like, ?!?!). Edit summaries are an important communication/collaboration tool, they shouldn't be ignored when evaluating a diff. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 17:24, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
Girth Summit, I will have to reconsider using SW viewer, i’ll go back to my way of reverting. I was never WP:BITE by another editor when new hear. It wont be fair if i treat other editors differently. I respect each and evey editor here including vandals( since they have more experience in this project) than I do. The last thing I want to do is to discourage any editor. Cheers Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 17:29, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
Synoman Barris, thanks. You decide how you want to edit, bearing this incident in mind - I'm sure you'll make the right choices. GirthSummit (blether) 18:07, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
