2011 Ohio explosion incident

I was on the fence about adding the 2011 incident to List of explosions because of the lack of injuries and deaths and no standalone article, but there were also a significant number of structures affected, more than in some other entries — I know that this invokes WP:OTHERCONTENT but the parameters for the list are vague. See also the notability discussion that I started right after the incident. Mapsax (talk) 22:00, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

I think your argument is good for the history of that town, as someone who also contributes in local history articles, but as for the explosions list, I do have doubts over its notability in a longer-term article especially due to relative weight of details. I previously made a WP:BOLD purge of non-notables based on similar criteria that you acknowledged because the article was bloated at the time. Honestly since you have been kind enough to raise these concerns to me I do not have the mood to risk going into an edit war over this, but I do have to notify you in advance that this entry would probably be reverted if the page gets bloated again in the future. Borgenland (talk) 01:54, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
There wouldn't be an edit war since I never reinstated that entry (and I try avoid those, as I should).
I note that you've done some edits lately purging entries with fewer than 5 deaths. While that's a bit arbitrary, it would be a good start for a parameter, with consensus of course. Mapsax (talk) 00:28, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Will open one then. Borgenland (talk) 14:30, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Wait, there was already a discussion but it was open-ended. Apparently I was the last to comment. Borgenland (talk) 14:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
So I see. You know, reading through that, I found that the incident in question is in fact listed on List of pipeline accidents in the United States in 2011, so I suppose that that will suffice. Mapsax (talk) 00:54, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Magomed Omarov

Hello, I hope an article can be created about this public figure Magomed Omarov (Russian politician) since I understand that he was arrested for his involvement in the recent attacks and will subsequently be not prosecuted but executed by the Kremlin under the precept of "Russian treason" would work a lot for American politics to create an article for it.

Kenya finance bill protests

I know you are of interest. You are welcomed to help in improving the article. Wår (talk) 06:12, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Made copy-editing for that. Mostly focused on 2024 Parliament of Kenya attack‎. Borgenland (talk) 07:07, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
That was great. I saw it then. Thank you. Wår (talk) 09:14, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

[AfC] Bini - Karera

Hello! I'm currently working on a new article for Bini's song "Karera" as it is listed under Tambayan's articles for creation. While working on the infobox song template for the song, I got confused by some of the parameters (genre, songwriter/writer, composer, and lyricist in particular). The song was composed by three people from FlipMusic, but Bini members Colet, Mikha, and Stacey wrote the rap parts of the song. I'm currently stuck on whether I should include the three group members in the composer parameter of the infobox or have them in the lyricist parameter. For the genre part, I know that the song is a pop song, but I'm also thinking about whether the song has other specific genres. Could you please share your thoughts on this, to help clarify some confusion? AstrooKai (talk) 12:50, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

When it comes to music I’m more of a national anthems person (lyrics and music only), with rap as my greatest enemy. But given my understanding of things the BINIs are better placed in lyrics. As for other categories rap is under WikiProject Hip hop. Borgenland (talk) 13:46, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
I see. I'll also ask other users to see their feedback, thank you. AstrooKai (talk) 15:58, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Revdel suggestion

You claimed that Valenzuela400's edit contained a copyvio, and you have reverted/modified the edit. Have you asked on some discussion area to suppress or hide the revision (revision deletion) made by Valenzuela400? JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 00:10, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I had just run the test and found that there were possible copyvios (45.7%) but apparently of another source. But since the edits appeared to have been made over a long time I am no longer sure which revision to start with. Borgenland (talk) 01:04, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Just warned them off about their editorializing. See this other example also that was called out by another editor: [1]. Borgenland (talk) 08:58, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello Borgenland. On top of that, Valenzuela400's contributions remind me of a concern by Explicit that they posted on my talk page at Commons. I already posted a similar concern at the meta talk page of User:Just Step Sideways, but so far they haven't responded. ICYDK, Judgefloro (talk · contribs) was a highly prolific Filipino contributor at Commons, but was blocked due to continued uploading of copyrighted public buildings and monuments of the Philippines as well as near-duplicate files that are possibly not aligning to the project scope. This is in addition to his act of resorting to socks to continue their uploads there between 2021 and 2023 (like c:User:JFVelasquez Floro and c:User:Beeveevee). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 11:48, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
My impression of them was that they were merely challenged as regards to copying material from articles and WP:NEWSPAPER issues. They had pledged not to repeat again after warning but some aspects of problematic editing remain, particularly WP:QUOTEFARM in Arnolfo Teves Jr. and WP:NEWSPAPER (personally peeved in in inserting "person said" at the end of quotes). Borgenland (talk) 12:06, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Regarding the WP:NEWSPAPER issue, they made some edit at Manila Bulletin over the issue being faced by the broadsheet publication's noted I.T./cybersecurity contributor. I suspect his composition of the section may not be encyclopedic in tone. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 13:16, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
I agree it is disproportionate and WP:UNDUE for the mother article. Borgenland (talk) 13:18, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello. Did Valenzuela400's edit for the Manila Bulletin article fixed the issue, or not? JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 13:16, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
They just split the issue into two disjointed ends of the section. I think it should still be reduced to just one paragraph. Still suspicious about copyvio and WP:NEWSPAPER about the use of the word Mr. to refer to Samaniego. I think offending user needs to be told off on when to use a personal title. Borgenland (talk) 13:52, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
@Borgenland I reverted it. Creating a new problem is not a solution so it must be reverted. His contribution at the article should be checked by other editors. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 22:36, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
I gutted it further. It is becoming apparent that the offending user does not know how to distinguish between a newspaper article, a press release, and an encyclopedic article. Borgenland (talk) 15:21, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Brilliant work

Fabulous work on the UK general election page, you kept the whole thing well linked! No Swan So Fine (talk) 10:33, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! My apologies also for the disambiguations, I was rushing to tally the early-morning surge. 10:36, 5 July 2024 (UTC) Borgenland (talk) 10:36, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

[Bini] WP:NEWSPAPER content

Hello, @Borgenland. This is regarding your recently opened topic about potential WP:NEWSPAPER content in the Bini (group) article. Can you please explain what kind of revisions can be made to address this issue? So that I can familiarize myself with the procedures and contribute when possible. Thanks! AstrooKaiTalk 08:18, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

There is content that should look less like it was taken from a newspaper. While under normal circumstances this applies to copyvios, in the case of Bini it is kind of formatted similarly like a series of collated news reports with tons of redundant items. For example at one point Cherry on Top was described three times as their upcoming pre-debut single in one chapter alone. What I propose to do is to reduce the number of instances to make the article more readable. Borgenland (talk) 09:30, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
Okay. I'll try rephrasing the texts and see if it helps in aiding the issue. AstrooKaiTalk 10:08, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

2024 Iranian presidential elections

Your reactions to the IP editor seem to be unduly harsh , WP:DONTBITE. They clearly do not know much about wikipedia (as evidenced by the fact they said "im american" when the IP tool easily shows their in Iran) and their edits seem to be done in good faith AlexBobCharles (talk) 14:38, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Apologies. When I first saw the IP's edits I suspected it was a sock of Baratiiman given their similar incoherent grasp of English. Then when said editor made false and racist aspersions as to my identity I totally lost faith. Finally the fact that they deliberately misspelled my name in the last edit reminds of an infamous sock of @/DirceuMag who was banned for POV pushing and WP:SOAPBOXING in previous election articles and who had a habit of deliberately misspelling my name and making long rambling edit summaries similar to the IP, in addition to falsely claiming questionable and partisan sources to be official.

Bini: Citation correction

Hello! I just want to inform you that I have corrected your recent edits on Bini (group) and Biniverse: The First Solo Concert, particularly the "diversify ref" edits. The citations were not formatted correctly, so I have converted them. You can see the difference here:

If this is a mistake, feel free to let me know. Thanks! AstrooKaiTalk 07:06, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! For proper explanation I was trying to find independent sources aside from Bini’s home network. Borgenland (talk) 07:10, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Understandable, I'm glad to hear that. I was also planning on doing the same thing as I think that the articles are a bit more reliable on the publications by the home network, though there are some circumstances where only the home network covers certain topic. But thank you for that. AstrooKaiTalk 07:14, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello! Just added extra authors to CDN as it was not immediately visible on the website itself. Borgenland (talk) 15:01, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi! Yes, I have seen them in my watchlist. Thanks for adding them! AstrooKaiTalk 15:07, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Eva Lasting

Hello. On the page Eva Lasting you said that you added the Update template to the cast list because there are names missing from season 2. My question to you is: if you know that names are missing from the list then why not add them yourself instead of using the Update template. I have not seen the season so I am unable to know if new cast members joined the series and the reference I added about the season 2 date doesn’t mention new cast members [2]. Telenovelafan215 (talk) 17:08, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Apologies but I haven’t had the time to read through the credits and edit heavily on the page due to prior commitments. And to prove in good faith that such new characters exist and at the risk of spoiling the plot there is Jose’s mother, former lover, and love child for example.
