Why

Why did you delete my editing of the article about Fox Reynard, which mentioned the story of Ukrainian writer Ivan Franko? I provided the link as required by the rules, I don't understand how this link is not an authoritative source, it was published according to all the canons of scientific literature. Or maybe you just think that Ukrainian literature should not be represented in the global context? Князівна (talk) 08:59, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

@Князівна, Of course, Ukrainian literature sources are generally reliable. However, I found that source to be unreliable, so I undid your edit. If you believe that your edit was supported by a reliable source, please feel free to add it back. Happy editing! 𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 ^{𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜} 10:24, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Request on 07:30:35, 30 October 2023 for assistance on AfC submission by Kristinak98

• Kristinak98 (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Planforge (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello DreamRimmer!

I have viewed, that you have declined my draft of the "Planforge" article. Please review the draft again, as it is an exact translation to the last version of the german article to "Planforge": https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planforge

(Except the rebranded developer name "Planforge GmbH" - it was not reviewed yet in the german article - it still says "ONEPOINT Projects GmbH" but I have already updated it in the german article, too, as this is not right anymore. Source: https://www.planforge.io/en/imprint)

Thus, I don't understand, how the draft could not be accepted, as the exact same german article I translated it from, already exists on wikipedia for a long time. Furthermore, as it is a translation, it would be wrong, if I now wrote it completely different than the german one, right?

Thank you and best regards

Recent changes

• The Structured Content team, as part of its project of improving UploadWizard on Commons, made some UX improvements to the upload step of choosing own vs not own work (T347590), as well as to the licensing step for own work (T347756).
• The Design Systems team has released version 1.0.0 of Codex, the new design system for Wikimedia. See the full announcement about the release of Codex 1.0.0.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 November. It will be on all wikis from 2 November (calendar).
• Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [3][4]
• Starting November 1, the impact module (Special:Impact) will be upgraded by the Growth team. The new impact module shows newcomers more data regarding their impact on the wiki. It was tested by a few wikis during the last few months. [5]

Future changes

• There is a proposed plan for re-enabling the Graph Extension. You can help by reviewing this proposal and sharing what you think about it.
• The WMF is working on making it possible for administrators to edit MediaWiki configuration directly. This is similar to previous work on Special:EditGrowthConfig. A technical RfC is running until November 08, where you can provide feedback.

November Articles for creation backlog drive

Hello DreamRimmer:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 1300 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Your rejection of Kunitama

I am quite confused about your rejection of the draft Kunitama. It has 4 sources that definitely count as

• in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
• reliable
• secondary
• independent of the subject

of which the bulk of the article cites from

And a few for specific claims related to local Kunitama.

And it is quite radically improved over the previous rejection which only had two sources.

References

How did it not fit these criteria? Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 03:52, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

@Immanuelle, I didn't come across significant coverage in the source you provided. The first source only had a brief paragraph about the topic, and I haven't found a source that delves into this topic in depth yet. If my explanation isn't meeting your needs, you might want to consider seeking advice from other reviewers at WP:AFC/H or WT:AFC. – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:18, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

@DreamRimmer, while I agree that the first source is not in-depth, it is an encyclopedia article. Having an entry in an encyclopedia is an extremely strong indicator of notability. Indeed there are many people who believe that wikipedia should have an article on every topic that is covered by another encyclopedia. -- asilvering (talk) 12:29, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

I heard you needed a little WikiLove, so here you are :) Look forward to meeting you some day!

Tech News: 2023-46

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Four new wikis have been created:
  • a Wikipedia in Moroccan Amazigh (w:zgh:) [10]
  • a Wikipedia in Dagaare (w:dga:) [11]
  • a Wikipedia in Toba Batak (w:bbc:) [12]
  • a Wikiquote in Banjar (q:bjn:) [13]

Problems

• Last week, users who previously visited Meta-Wiki or Wikimedia Commons and then became logged out on those wikis could not log in again. The problem is now resolved. [14]
• Last week, some pop-up dialogs and menus were shown with the wrong font size. The problem is now resolved. [15]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 November. It will be on all wikis from 16 November (calendar).

Future changes

• Reference Previews are coming to many wikis as a default feature. They are popups for references, similar to the PagePreviews feature. You can opt out of seeing them. If you are using the gadgets Reference Tooltips or Navigation Popups, you won’t see Reference Previews. Deployment is planned for November 22, 2023.
• Canary (also known as heartbeat) events will be produced into Wikimedia event streams from December 11. Streams users are advised to filter out these events, by discarding all events where meta.domain == "canary". Updates to Pywikibot or wikimedia-streams will discard these events by default. [16]

Hi, can you specific what the bug it is? Thanks a lot for testing my script. -Lemonaka‎ 08:03, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Lemonaka, I apologize for the delayed response as I completely forgot about this message. Firstly, thank you for the amazing script. The issue I encountered was when I used it to report a user. Initially, I chose TPA and then opted not to leave a warning on their talk, but the script left my signature on their talk page. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:51, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

@DreamRimmer Done, fixed. Due to some nasty reasons from functionaries, I'm banned from ANI, will you test it again if possible? -Lemonaka‎ 14:10, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm not well-versed in these topics, but I've been keeping an eye on this LTA for some time. They consistently attempt to insert incorrect and misleading information into articles about Indian castes, dynasties, Turkish dynasties, and Muslim dynasties and tribes. I'll continue watching these articles. Unfortunately, I don't have enough information about the page you mentioned, so if you think the last stable version was different, you can ask other experienced users on its talk page for help. – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:53, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

@DreamRimmer I saw your note on Draft:Bhati (clan) - is any of this the same incorrect or misleading info? Or have you not checked it yet and just wanted to flag it as a possible concern? -- asilvering (talk) 19:37, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

@Asilvering, recently, some LTAs have been consistently injecting a Gurjar perspective into articles about Indian and Muslim dynasties. Unfortunately, these LTAs have created several hoax articles about Gurjar clans by directly copying names and content from legitimate dynasties and clans. This specific article follows a the similar pattern, relying on the works of Gurjar writer Javaid Rahi as its sources.

About Santadas Kathiababa article

Namaste 🙏 There is a Wikipedia article on Santadas Kathiababa but a Google search does not find the Wikipedia article. Work on improving this article bro. Santadas Kathiababa was a spiritual teacher, cleric and philosopher of the Nimbark community in India. Brother I request your help to improve the article. You correct and refine this article Killz Gough (talk) 06:46, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

@Killz Gough, The page you're referring to hasn't been reviewed yet, which is why it isn't indexing in Google or any other search engine's results. Articles that haven't been reviewed aren't indexed by search engines for 90 days. After this period, the article remains in the NPP queue, but search engines can start indexing it. – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:33, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted

Hi DreamRimmer, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:45, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Calleigh Duquesne

Hi. I noticed you posted a copyright violation tag on the article Calleigh Duquesne earlier today. However, I think the copyright violation went the other way. The website with the very similar content was created sometime during July 2007, with content that had been already on Wikipedia for a while at that point. Tvx1 23:50, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

@Tvx1, I couldn't find information on whether Wikipedia or the website published the content first. That's why I added a tag, as cases without clear copyright licensing information and publishing dates should be treated as possible copyright violation. I wasn't certain about the violation, so I just tagged it with a non-free tag. In cases where I am sure, I follow the cleanup-revdel or G12 processes. An AfDed article should be marked as reviewed to remove it from the NPP queue. I was unsure, so I only tagged it, thinking someone with more information could take appropriate action. By the way, how do you know that the content was first posted on Wikipedia and later on that site in July 2007? – DreamRimmer (talk) 01:54, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Is not that difficult to find a tool to check a website’s age. Using one I found that the website was created during July 2007 and the edit history of our article already shows the disputed content by May of that year. Tvx1 12:21, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

In my opinion, relying on information from random websites might not be the best idea. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:48, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Review my first article

Hi I have attempted to create my first article Kadak Singh. This is a Hindi film featuring very prominent actors, including national award winners and has been directed by an acclaimed filmmaker. Looking forward to your feedback and an approval.

Regards Filmy World (talk) 15:13, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Done. The film appears to pass WP:NFF, so I have marked it as reviewed. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:31, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Much to learn. Thanks a bunch! Filmy World (talk) 16:14, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

My name, Nidadavolu Malathi

Hello, Re: the name, Velcheru Narayana Rao, on my page, Nidadavolu Malathi as his spouse. Yesterday, in response to your message stating, I violated some rule, I have responded why I wanted it removed. Once again, I suggest my name on his page is not uncalled for. It gives the falls impression that tw two are still couple. Also, just now I noticed that my name is not mentioned on his page, apparently, for the same reason--there is no relationship. I hate to mention it, but there may be some bias here. Thanks for the opportunity to explain myself.

Bhajan Lal Sharma

Dear DreamRimmer,Hello,plesae restore old reference in the Bhajan Lal Sharma because those reference was the evidence of his notability and my old reference are clearly indicates this subject's notability.😊~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 13:48, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

It's concerning to see this kind of message from an NPP. – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:07, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

So I'm sorry, but I just want to know why all the old references and content were removed from the article that I provided at the time of creating the page, I don't think anyone should be able to remove more of the content from those old versions. Has been removed, removing information from the page without any reason also comes under the category of vandalism, if you want, after the last time you edited this page, see what edits other people have done while updating the pages. did?:( ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 14:29, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Pinging @HJ Mitchell, I've assumed good faith many times, but now, seeing these types of messages and responses, I doubt your understanding of related policies. – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:44, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

I think, thank you for pinging @HJ Mitchell for about that, on wikipedia my contributions are useless in your eyes , perhaps, I just came to ask you a question to you, yes, I made a mistake unknowingly but not misused the rights, however I consider it in my best interest to leave here, although I will have nothing to do with it.😊~~ αvírαm|(tαlk)±

No one told you to leave Wikipedia. I saw your request on an admin's talk page about protecting Bhajan Lal Sharma because he's now the Chief Minister of Rajasthan. You really want to keep it protected because lots of users are making changes, but honestly, I haven't seen any vandalism there. Just a reminder, Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia open for everyone to edit. And remember, creating a page doesn't mean it's yours – it's always changing, especially when it's about current events. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:20, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Also, note that I haven't accused you of misusing your rights, but I am concerned about repeated instances of poor judgment and limited knowledge of policies. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:24, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

I know Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit, I requested to protect that page later, but someone else had already requested to protect it on the security page, so I Have created a page, but anyone can make changes in the article, I have no problem with it nor will I, I am happy that the person on whom the article has been created is now going to serve as the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, I made a mistake. Asking you questions on this topic, but it would be better for me to leave from here, please forgive me, but I have seen minor vandalism on that article recently, I know that it takes hard work of an editor to create an article. And it also takes a lot of time, the only reason was that considering you a good friend, your members had come for the talks, but now it is better for me to go.

I have only a limited understanding of the correct policies, if I continue to contribute in the future, I will definitely try to learn a lot from more experienced Wikipedians than myself, thanks for mentioning my error here. ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 16:32, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
