Reporting

I observed your post to Harrison; please see WP:REPORTPAID for instructions on how you can report off-wiki evidence of undisclosed paid editing. 331dot (talk) 20:30, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Short descriptions

Thank you for adding Short descriptions to articles.
However, many of these descriptions have started with a lower case letter and some have been too long – the current guidelines at WP:SDSHORT advise a limit of around 40 characters.
The full guidelines are at WP:SDCONTENT — GhostInTheMachine ^{talk to me} 14:51, 18 November 2025 (UTC)

Was going to come here about your short description changes, but @GhostInTheMachine beat me to it. Please be more careful to avoid edits like you made here. Thanks. Longhornsg (talk) 22:36, 18 November 2025 (UTC)

Noted, thank you. Deriannt (talk) 09:30, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

You must stop just copying one of the categories into the Short description. While the categories may be valid inspiration for a suitable Short description, they are never valid without adjustment — GhostInTheMachine ^{talk to me} 18:09, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

Can you expand on your reasons for draftifying Allatra?

Hi @Deriannt, I noticed you recently draftified Draft:Allatra after tagging the article with a number of issues, including UPE.

I've not looked into this article sufficiently to know whether the tags are justified, but could you help by providing an explanation for your taging choices, as per WP:TAGGING? You might find the policy advice helpful in this case:

> Don't perform "drive-by" tagging.Tags must be accompanied by either a comment on the article's talk page explaining the problem and beginning a discussion on how to fix it or, for simpler and more obvious problems, a remark using the reason parameter (available in all templates, regardless of whether it appears in the documentation) as shown below. At the very least, tagging editors must be willing to follow through with substantive discussion. WP:CTAGS Salimfadhley (talk) 17:34, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for asking. I tagged based on off-wiki evidences. Deriannt (talk) 18:21, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

@Salimfadhley this from EU Reporter is an interesting one I found. Deriannt (talk) 19:38, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

"EU Reporter" is a pay-to-play press outlet associated with Kremlin interests. Here is reliable reporting to that effect. Noospherix (talk) 20:22, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

Okay, so are you implying that AllatRa is working on behalf of the Kremlin? Deriannt (talk) 20:25, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

I meant specifically what I said: that "EU Reporter" is a pay-to-play outlet that has been in the past associated with Kremlin interests. Noospherix (talk) 20:26, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, but this doesn’t invalidate the article on Allatra — it would amount to original research. Deriannt (talk) 20:28, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

That "EU Reporter" story is the equivalent of a paid press release. It is not 'original research.' Noospherix (talk) 20:30, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

Question re Short description templates

In passing ... Why do you start by adding a blank short description template? Is this due to the specific app or editor that you use? — GhostInTheMachine ^{talk to me} 15:10, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

Can you please provide a diff? Thanks. Deriannt (talk) 15:17, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
