NPP Awards for 2023 edit

For over 360 article reviews during 2023. Well done! Keep up the good work and thank you! Dr vulpes (Talk) 02:50, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sam Williams edit

I restored Sam Williams (record producer) to what I believe is a valid version that existed mid-2023, and advised Laura that as she has Williams as a client, she must declare a paid relationship and limit her input to proposing changes on the Talk page of the article. The history of this article is a horrible mess because back in 2023 an editor (since blocked) was attempting to hijack the article to make it about a different person by the same name. David notMD (talk) 10:21, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

OK, thanks for the explanation. Wikishovel (talk) 10:24, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Starry (musician) edit

Hi. Thanks for reviewing it. Do you think it qualifies for AfD?   — Jeff G. ツ 10:52, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, yes I think so. All I can find in an online search in English is about the same as the current sources: a mix of interviews (WP:PRIMARY) in RS like Daily Trust, Daily Nigerian and Nigerian Tribune, and puff pieces on music blogs. The RS also pretty consistently describe her as "upcoming", "budding", etc. She's put out a single EP, with no charts in evidence, and the sources cited for regular radio rotation are quite weak: one is a wobbly mobile video clip of something on a laptop in a radio station, taken by the article creator: [1]. Wikishovel (talk) 12:03, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. See also User talk:Jeff G.#Starry Wikipedia.   — Jeff G. ツ 15:10, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Jeff G.@Wikishovel Kindly see this for the chart cite [2] it also talked about the radio play Princeisrael2728 (talk) 17:36, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Princeisrael2728: Which chart is that, exactly?   — Jeff G. ツ 17:48, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Number 1 on iTunes Princeisrael2728 (talk) 17:52, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Please see WP:Record charts, especially the "deprecated charts" section. Topping a single-retailer chart like iTunes isn't considered to confer notability on Wikipedia. Wikishovel (talk) 18:00, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Should I edit out that part ? Princeisrael2728 (talk) 18:34, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
That's up to you, but the overall problem with the article is that it doesn't yet show how she meets the guidelines for notability: please see WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. Wikishovel (talk) 18:51, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
I have checked this .. Rotation airplay on Hot FM should also count I think. That's also part of notability and there is actually a cite for it as well Princeisrael2728 (talk) 19:13, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Jeff G.
@Wikishovel I am still waiting for your opinion on this. Princeisrael2728 (talk) 14:06, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
My opinion is unchanged since my first reply: she's not yet notable enough for a separate article. Wikishovel (talk) 14:13, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Wikishovel can I send you more cite for rotation airplay Princeisrael2728 (talk) 16:42, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
No, just add them to the article if they're WP:Reliable sources. Wikishovel (talk) 17:12, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Princeisrael2728: I agree with Wikishovel on this.   — Jeff G. ツ 12:30, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Jeff G. @Wikishovel ok.. I will add the airplay sources Princeisrael2728 (talk) 14:10, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Dear Wikishovel, I hope you are doing well. I wanted to inform you that this editor, whom you reverted, has returned to edit the same articles, Church of Bangladesh and Samuel Sunil Mankhin. I am pinging User:Joyous!, who protected the articles last time. I hope this helps. With regards, AnupamTalk 13:34, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Orhan Awatramani edit

Hi Wikishovel!! This is regarding the new article on Orhan Awatramani. I see, in the Personal life and Controversy part, there were some change made by you about the his relationships. He was rumored to be in relationship with Janhvi Kapoor, later they revealed they are just friend. Also he not a reality show contestant, he was only seen in Bigg Boss season 17, but he was not contesting. So can we make some changes in the article? Pirateinthesea (talk) 15:28, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, please have a read of WP:RUMOUR: Wikipedia doesn't repeat unsubstantiated gossip and speculation. If Awatramani confirms in a WP:Reliable source that he's dating someone, then we can document that.
That's interesting about Bigg Boss though: please do correct the error. Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 15:46, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hey, thanks for sharing the resources, I am still new to Wikipedia and learning about editing and all, sure I'll go through it. And one more thing about the title, are braces are not allowed in the titles? I am asking because his real name is Orhan Awatramani but he is popularly know as Orry only. So can't we have that in the title? Pirateinthesea (talk) 16:55, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
They're used for WP:Disambiguation, and though there are several people called Orry, there's only one article about someone called Orhan Awatramani.
But if you're saying that his WP:COMMONNAME is Orry, then we could move the page to something like Orry (influencer) or Orry (internet personality) etc. Wikishovel (talk) 17:10, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Draft:Sheep language edit

Hi,

Just to let you know I removed your WP:G3 tag from the above draft as although it may look like vandalism I do believe it is an actual attempt at an article; sheep counting language is a real thing. The draft is of course a duplicate that is not needed, but not eligible under G3 for deletion. CoconutOctopus talk 18:59, 6 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

@CoconutOctopus: hi, you're right, it wasn't vandalism. I can now see similarities of some of those numbers to Welsh. OK, time for an apology to that editor: I rushed to judgment because of their prior history of vandalism. Thanks! Wikishovel (talk) 03:29, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Destruction of Pundravardhana edit

Hello, Wikishovel,

When you see a misplaced article consider that maybe it's better to move it to Draft space rather than main space. Just a suggestion. Have a good week! Liz Read! Talk! 08:38, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

That would have been better, you're right. When I see a missing lead section, I usually just write a short one, but for that article, not a clue. Indian history is just too vast to comprehend sometimes. Wikishovel (talk) 08:41, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Biafra Liberation Army edit

In case you didn't know, the subject-area (Ekpa) has had a lot of socking:[3], see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Biafra Republic Government in Exile. The current BLA article does have 2 maybe somewhat RS sources, hopefully independent, that mention the article subject, but it's not good per WP:N. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:31, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, hadn't spotted that AFD, but yes secessionist groups are always a hotbed of POV, socking, and all the rest, so I'm keeping an eye. I added those first two sources that actually mention the group: they seem to be from RS (the newspapers have WP articles at any rate), but their wording seems not quite neutral - not sure what's the best course there.
Ekpa's bio currently lists his work as "activism", but as he recently announced formation of a rebel army, that's going to need a change of wording. Wikishovel (talk) 08:44, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, but him announcing stuff doesn't necessarily make it so. We'll see what happens. I may afd the BLA,, don't think PROD would work here, but thanks for adding sources that mentions the group, I like your thinking. They seem to be mostly "Ekpa says", though. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:52, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Certainly talk is cheap, and he seems to be a bit of a self-publicist pol, but there must be a better word than "activist" for someone effectively declaring war on Nigeria. Wikishovel (talk) 08:57, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
"Agitator" has some coverage in sources, but "activist" is common[4]. I think the Ekpa-article can be greatly improved, my problem is that it's hard to judge African sources for RS-ness, and I don't read Finnish. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:41, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Some more Ekpa-WP/Commons history: [5][6] [7] (2 threads), [8][9]. Challenging, somewhat. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:10, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oh, and apparently there is Ekpa's org [10] and then another org [11] with a similar name. That'll simplify things, not. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:55, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oh, marvy... Wikishovel (talk) 08:57, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
And the BLA declares their logo to be in the public domain, [12] that's generous of them. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:27, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your contributions to Luna MC. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Hello edit

Good evening. I am from the Republic of Kazakhstan, which is a post-Soviet country. I wrote the first article in English Wikipedia about the Kazakhstan petition site, which gave a breath of air to freedom of speech and democracy in Kazakhstan. The site raised topics such as stripping the first president of immunity and renaming the capital, which were completed successfully. The article indicated all authoritative sources and evidence of significance. I have a big request for you, please check my article. I hope my article has the right to exist.

User:DaxServer reverted the last move of Perfect Master. Doug Weller talk 12:11, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

March 2024 edit

 

Your recent editing history at Perfect Master (Meher Baba) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

But can't this English language article be stopped from being deleted? Dog Starkiller08 (talk) 14:30, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Each of the Wikipedias has their own guidelines for what's notable enough for a separate article, so sometimes an article will get deleted from the German Wikipedia, but not the English one, und so weiter.
You're welcome to join the discussion of course, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nicole Starrett. Wikishovel (talk) 14:38, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Can't we stop this English language article from being deleted? Dog Starkiller08 (talk) 14:53, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes, but it also has rules and guidelines, agreed by consensus, which all editors must observe when editing. If any of the notices about this on your user talk page are unclear, then you might like to ask for help at the WP:Teahouse. Wikishovel (talk) 09:56, 8 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival edit

Please stop your deliberate nonsense of speedy deletions again and again, this is not the first time you are doing this and failing in your attempts. This article is originally created by me it has no resemblances whatsoever. I dont even know it was created earlier. What is your problem with India related articles? The article created earlier was misinformed. This is the correct article. Stop creating false alarms. Fostera12 (talk) 13:11, 9 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please have a look at previous versions of Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival and Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards on archive.org. It is nearly identical, apart from somme of the press releases being newer. I and others nominate pages for speedy deletion as part of Wikipedia:New pages patrol when they meet speedy deletion criteria, so there's no need to feel singled out. You simply made an honest mistake, that's all. We all make them, every day. Wikishovel (talk) 13:29, 9 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I have not created that article, the name is different, cant you see? Fostera12 (talk) 13:30, 9 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
That's right, they were created by other editors, several times. But the WP:CSD#G4 criteria still apply, on this article that you've created. Wikishovel (talk) 13:31, 9 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

what is your problem, it was not notable in 2019, now it is notable Fostera12 (talk) 13:33, 9 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please let an administrator decide that. Please. You're going to get blocked if you keep removing the speedy deletion tag. Wikishovel (talk) 13:34, 9 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Administrator will delete as you have lobbied enough already. This is against fair practice. You first check this version and tell me why it should be deleted. Fostera12 (talk) 14:14, 9 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Whom have I "lobbied"? That's a rather serious accusation, without evidence. You, on the other hand, have been posting to several other editors' talk pages (DaxServer, Doug Weller, SpacemanSpiff, GSS and C1K98V) asking them to take action against me on some vague grounds of wrongdoing, or otherwise intervene in the deletion nomination.
You also told me at your user talk page that I shouldn't post there anymore, yet you're still posting here. That doesn't seem very fair. Wikishovel (talk) 14:19, 9 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! I'm standing on the shoulders of giants though. Slightly in awe of the memory capacity of some other editors, who can somehow remember "I've seen this one before" on the most obscure content.

Decline / reject before speedy edit

Hi, Wikishovel and thanks for all you do here! Would it be possible for you to decline or reject drafts before tagging them for speedy deletion so that they get immediately removed from the queue while waiting for administrator action? Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 13:13, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Now that you mention it, it seems obvious. And yes, happy to help: I'll sign up for AfC review before tagging any more drafts, and will work on reducing that backlog. Wikishovel (talk) 13:50, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

AfC reviewer edit

Hi Wikishovel, I just saw your application at WT:AFCP and wanted to inform you that you no longer need to go through a separate application process for AfC participation. All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for reviewing Articles for Creation drafts.Thanks! – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:11, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes it was right there in the Gadgets section of Prefs all along, and ready to use. Seems pretty intuitive. Wikishovel (talk) 18:05, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks a lot for helping out at AfC. Just a heads up. You might have to deal with a lot of editors lining up in your talk page, asking for detailed explanation on getting a decline. So you can have a page like User:The Herald/AfC Essentialities and put it up on your talk page notice.
Another thing is you might have to face multiple requests of submitters asking to re review their draft. Even though it ain't per se wrong, it is unfair for the older submissions. So, you can use Category:AfC pending submissions by age/8 weeks ago to start the reviews and move up. It will help to keep the backlog in check better. Thanks again for helping out. Good luck and happy editing. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 18:35, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

New section edit

Hi! @Wikishovel.. why you move the draft page when i already created the new one and have been added more reliable sources than the page you moved? Its much better than that.. why not my article? Leklu (talk) 12:46, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

The original page was created in 2020. We can't just move that page to draft, and create a new one at another spelling. You're very welcome to improve the article at Kim Seung-hun‎, with WP:Secondary, WP:Reliable sources, but in its current state, both the existing article and the second version you created would be unlikely to be kept following an WP:Articles for deletion discussion.

Snazzysugarplum/Violence and intersectionality edit

Hello, that was not a "sandbox in the main space" it was in the correct space. I have reverted the changes, you may notice in the sandbox there are lines and italics used as I edit? but not in the article. furthermore I am a student in a course, which you can tell if you look at my user page. you deleted content, that had not been graded. so my talk is gone, and I am not sure how to get that back so my professor, which whom I have had a difficult term, can grade and see...I worked very hard on this and was proud of my work. please just check in with students before deleting work. I had asked for help about how to move materials to the main article page and was just going to leave it and had emailed my professor that there was work to be graded and then it was deleted. so great... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snazzysugarplum (talkcontribs) 21:43, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

I haven't deleted anything. You know this because you've moved it back to main space. There is already an article called Violence and intersectionality, so there's no need for a second article on the same subject called Snazzysugarplum/Violence and intersectionality. Another editor will shortly move it back to your user sandbox where it belongs. If you want to merge content from there to the existing article, then you're free to do so.

CSD G5s edit

Hello, Wikishovel,

Please read Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G5. Creations by banned or blocked users carefully. CSD G5 is not a criteria for being the work of a sockpuppet but for being the creation of an editor who is evading a block. The editor you identified as the sockmaster was only blocked today so these articles were not created while any of these editors were blocked so there was no block evasion going on. This is usually the case when a sockmaster is first identified because they are only now getting blocked. Any pages created by future sockpuppets would qualify for CSD G5s but not for a recently indentified and blocked account. But don't feel bad, G5 is one of the trickiest criteria, you have to see when the sockmaster account was created, when they were blocked, when the other accounts were created and blocked and the date of creation for the article. Everything has to line up properly. Thank you for your diligence though. Liz Read! Talk! 05:29, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

I see what you mean, thanks. That "master" is also quite likely not the actual master, but until the real master is identified, we're stuck. Wikishovel (talk) 05:37, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Liz: in cases like these, is it against guidelines to move the articles created by socks (though presumably not by the first account) to draft? Wikishovel (talk) 06:05, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Killing of Joanna Simpson edit

Hey, I saw that you changed the Killing of Joanna Simpson article back into a draft earlier in the month. It has since been published again- have you had a chance to look at it since? I'm not experienced enough to say whether it is ready to be in the public sphere, but it has some pretty glaring issues. Any thoughts? Because it is such a new page, I thought it might be better to come here than use the Talk section on the page. Hope that was ok. Thanks :) Mr Blumenthal (talk) 17:58, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, it's improved since it went to draft. I've removed a very long quote of a phone call transcript, which made the article a bit too long and difficult to navigate, and also fixed a few headings. My main concern is still the sources used. Hello! magazine is a junk celebrity gossip tabloid, and not a WP:Reliable source. The article also relies quite heavily on some YouTube channels like Crime Analyst, and an ITV show about the crime. ITV News is a reliable source, but their sensationalist entertainment output is not. Thanks for asking, hope that helps. Wikishovel (talk) 19:21, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for getting back to me. I can totally see the advances you have made. I'll try to keep chipping away at it to clean it up from incorrect syntax and poor sources. Mr Blumenthal (talk) 13:39, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024 edit

Hello Wikishovel,

 
New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

 

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

The Crimean slave trade edit

Thank you for your action regarding the article The Crimean slave trade. I voted to delete the article rather then merge. There was not much to merge except the title itself, since the article is essentially an essay of bias appologetism for this particular form of slavery. However, I almost regret my vote know; because it means that the article The Crimean slave trade is still there. I am concerned, since it is an article of bias appologetism. The topic the Crimean slave trade and slavery in the Crimean Khanate is in fact already redirected and included in the Black Sea slave trade article (neutrally and referenced). It would be best if this article is in fact deleted. The author have proven themselwes to have a bias agenda. I am not sure how to deal with the issue, but I thought I should mention my concerns to someone who may know better. Aciram (talk) 18:23, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I was referring to the Draft:The Crimean slave trade; since it was created by the user, it was bias from the beginning and can not be reverted back to a good version.

Speedy deletion nomination of Wacca (disambiguaton) edit

 

A tag has been placed on Wacca (disambiguaton) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.

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. Dsuke1998AEOS (talk) 17:03, 3 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I see that you've often fixed the ref issue and I've done a lot of the others, but it's becoming tiresome - how long should community patience last, and what is the best next step if Edgar continues not to hear? or do we just grit our teeth and keep on fixing?

Speedy deletion declined: User:Mridul200820 edit

Hello Wikishovel. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:Mridul200820, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: New editor. Let's see what they write about things other than themself. Thank you. Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 10:55, 14 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Page mover granted edit

 

Hello, Wikishovel. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Primefac (talk) 15:14, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Parallel edit

Thanks for the redirect on Parallel (tool). Didn't see the existing one. Still looking for a good text reference; wouldn't have occurred to me to use the McMaster Carr catalog as a reference. LDC (talk) 22:10, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Lee Daniel Crocker: hi, happy to have helped with this. Unfortunately the existing article is almost completely unsourced, and the McMaster-Carr catalog reference is unsuitable and needs to be replaced. The second reference is a bit unclear, but we should be able to clarify it with a bit of digging. I'll have a go at improving the references today, and would be grateful for your help in finding more and better sources. Wikishovel (talk) 06:01, 17 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Just an FYI: the language of this draft is Belarusian, not Russian. (You can tell by the presence of the 'і' character, which does not appear in Russian.) WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:25, 17 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Many thanks! I'll be more careful next time. Wikishovel (talk) 15:26, 17 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sorry for tripping things up over Ucodelite edit

As I explain on the AFD page, amidst checking various shenanigans regarding Ucodelite, I missed that the AFD on it was new and not part of a recreation of the page as it was at deletion. My movig it to draft space was not meant to trip up your efforts. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 13:39, 18 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Not a problem, and it was easily fixed. Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 13:51, 18 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Needed your assistance edit

I saw your message regarding the copyright content you discover @Every woman in this village is a liar. I need your assistance. Please don't be angry. Usimite (talk) 07:07, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I'm not angry, and am sorry if my post at your talk page sounded angry. The copyrighted text simply needs to be removed, that's all. Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 07:09, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Please help me remove it or guide me on what I need to do. I'm willing to learn and contribute to the wikipedia.
Usimite (talk) 07:12, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I've already removed the copyrighted text, and all that's left is for an administrator to hide the copyrighted revisions in the article's revision history. So you don't need to do anything at this point. Happy editing! Wikishovel (talk) 07:14, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
thank you very much.
Please assist me link Every Woman in This Village is a Liar to wikidata. I don't know how to do that.
Usimite (talk) 07:20, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
That needs to wait until the article is reviewed. Wikishovel (talk) 07:26, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Alright. Thank you very much.
Usimite (talk) 07:31, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Wikishovel, I saw you removing references on this. pls I wanted to ask if I should stop added references to it.
Usimite (talk) 20:28, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

No, please go on adding WP:Reliable sources. What I removed was just duplicates of the same reference, posted to multiple websites. Wikishovel (talk) 21:36, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ramgopal Suthar edit

Why you are removing my content everytime I post? I am adding citations but before saving my Article you made changes and conflict arises. Vishwakarma-anie (talk) 18:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

So far, the new section you've been re-adding has had no sources at all, and written in a highly promotional tone. And next time you move another editor's user page, you're going to get blocked from editing by an administrator. Wikishovel (talk) 18:31, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Really sorry, I am new to wikipedia. Now I have added various sources and citation in Ramgopal Suthar article, please dont Nominate for deletion, The sources are in Hindi but they are genuine and reliable as they have a large audience.
Thank you. Vishwakarma-anie (talk) 04:49, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's already been nominated for deletion. You're welcome to contribute to the discussion, but you must stop removing the deletion discussion notice from the article. Thank you. Wikishovel (talk) 04:51, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
User:Wikishovel please look at the resources, they are reliable, genuine and represents the true information about Ramgopal Suthar. Vishwakarma-anie (talk) 05:04, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
User:wikishovel, can you please remove that "Nominated for Deletion" section as I have added citation and resources into Ramgopal Suthar. This politician's supports are reading the article and sending messages about that error section.
Please look into the issue and remove that.

Draft:Stefano Frizzo Stefenon edit

Hi, I chose U5 for this speedy delete as it was deleted yesterday under U5. Check editors talk page. Equine-man (talk) 09:33, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, yes User:Stefanostefenon88 was eligible yesterday for speedy deletion under WP:CSD#U5, but Draft:Stefano Frizzo Stefenon is not in user space. Wikishovel (talk) 09:35, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ah, I need more coffee. I missed that. Thanks for pointing out! Equine-man (talk) 09:37, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
No problem. I need more coffee too, come to think of it. :-D Wikishovel (talk) 09:38, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Isotropic bands edit

Hi, I see you caught one of my students plagiarizing. This has not happened in my experience doing Wikipedia assignments before. It looks like all copies have been deleted from Wikipedia. Is there anyway for me to get a copy of what they posted to see if any disciplinary action is warranted at my end. Thank you for your efforts and any other advice on how to handle these situations would be greatly appreciated. I apologize for the students misbehavior and not catching it sooner. Jparcoeur (talk) 23:15, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, the administrator who hid the revisions with copyright is Nthep. The source copied was this web page. I'm not a Wikipedia admin (thank heavens), so I'm not sure what the policy is on copies of hidden revisions, but you could contact Nthep at their user talk page, or email them to ask about that. Thanks for your diligence, and I hope this doesn't go too badly for the student involved: a lot of people nowadays tend to assume "free to read equals free to copy", so I find myself explaining the difference nearly every day to new editors. Wikishovel (talk) 08:11, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, as I talk to the student I am suspecting that it was already plagiarized to a great extent the student may have just drawn attention to it by reposting parts with his edits. Jparcoeur (talk) 12:37, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
My Wikipedia expert got me the deleted text and unfortunately much of it was cut and pasted. It looks like some of this was removed and a good portion is being close paraphrased from https://med.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Anatomy_and_Physiology/Human_Anatomy_(OERI)/09%3A_Skeletal_Muscle_Tissue/9.04%3A_Muscle_Fiber_Contraction_and_Relaxation. I see you watching in the talk page and thought you should have the source to see if it needs to be reverted. It would be sad as it was an improvement. If it does go back, I'll get a different student to take a crack at it in the fall. Jparcoeur (talk) 17:55, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Would you be interested? edit

Hello, Wikishovel,
I don't know if you remember me, but we both participated in a discussion on the talk page of Black Sea slave trade, and I appreciated your effort in that issue (the problematic user has reappeared there, but I trust they will not be succesful, since the matter seem settled). A similar issue has recently came up. Since you were interested in protecting Black Sea slave trade against attempts of bias, you may also be intrested in the talk page of slavery in al-Andalus; nothing has yet been done, but it likely will be.
A user who have shown what I believe to be bias have been allerted to the article: [17] The first user have adressed valid concerns which I have adressed, but M.Bitton have shown bias in other articles in this topic issue, and from what is said, I am concerned that this article will be subjected to bias editing. You will see my concerns on the article talk page. Since posting that, another user has allerted me that M.Bitton may have been on ANI for bias editing, but I do not know if that is correct.
Perhaps you could be persuaded to put the article in your watch list, and adress future bias editing by M.Bitton? I would have done it myself, but I must be honest enough to say that my health is not good enough to engage in such a thing, and I have been blunt enough to explain why in the talk page. But I am still concerned enough to want to at least attempt to do something to protect the article. Of course, there is no need for any action at all at present; but since I know you to be interested in the subject, I would be grateful to know that a non-bias and serious contributor with respect for a non bias view had the article under watch. If you are not intereted, perhaps you can recomend another user to contact? Thanks. All the best, Aciram (talk) 11:24, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hello, and thanks for asking. I'm sorry to hear about the health concerns, and I wish I could help, but unfortunately am completely lacking in the expertise (and patience) needed for a task like that. Have you considered asking at a WikiProject talk page, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject History, or Wikipedia:WikiProject European history? Wikishovel (talk) 11:36, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
