Zhengyi railway station moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Zhengyi railway station, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

A bit bitey

This was a bit bitey. In general, tagging a page for speedy deletion less than 15 minutes from its creation is considered too fast. But then to also tag with PROD and AUTO? All are valid, but any one of them would have been sufficient. All three, and so soon after creation, is a bit too much. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:15, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

• Sorry, that was my first time with AfD, and I'm still trying to figure this out. What should I do now? Ganbaruby (talk)
  • Learn the lesson and move on. Read the guidelines at WP:CSD and at WP:NPP. In general, allow a new page at least 15 to 30 minutes of idle time before considering it for speedy deletion (unless it is a blatant copyright violation or blatant attack page; Wikipedia has zero tolerance for those). And if you think a page is eligible for speedy deletion, tag it as such. At that point, the other tags are irrelevant. If it is not eligible for speedy deletion, but needs improvement, tag it for the reasons it needs improvement. Again, restraint is the key here: a page may meet 4 or 5 different maintenance template criteria, but choose the one or two most pressing needs so as not to overwhelm the page's creator. The idea is to help a new author to write better content, and not discourage them from ever writing again. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:01, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

"Non-existent word"

Really? That's what you call a typo? If English is your first language, or even if it isn't and you're editing ENGLISH Wikipedia, this does not pass the smell test. Israel is purportedly a Jewish state, because government and "average Israeli" alike break every damn rule in the Torah. The article I edited is proof thereof.

If you don't like the word, make a reasonable argument why it should not be included. 174.115.79.25 (talk) 22:30, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

First of all, I would like to apologize for the revert. Although I don't specifically remember performing the revert, I must've misread the word, and I apologize for my carelessness. However, I am still concerned about WP:NPOV, Wikipedia's core neutral point of view policy. The phrase "Israel is a Jewish state" implies some sort of connection between the pig farm and whether Israel is a Jewish state. The word "purportedly" adds a negative, accusatory tone to the subject. This article is not the appropriate place to discuss whether the existence of a pig farm for human consumption invalidates the notion that the state Israel is Jewish; rather, it should discuss Lahav, the farm, and the immediate controversies surrounding the farm only. I've reworded the relevant sentence to something I feel we could both agree on. ◢ Ganbaruby! 05:34, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Editing that neglected the source of the Hinatazaka 46

If you go to the next will be asked as a vandalism. Since it is a senior in the number of edits, I will be suspended if I send it back. You do not need a reply.--Syun respect for music (talk) 05:09, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

@Syun respect for music: I'm sorry, but I am not sure what you want me to do here. Could you be more specific as to what the problem is? ◢ Ganbaruby! 05:18, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

You can not understand why your editing is correct than the indication on the CD. --Syun respect for music (talk) 05:43, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

@Syun respect for music: I'm really sorry, but I still am not sure what you're trying to say. If it's regarding this revert, it's because only the name of the single should go in the "name" parameter. "Italiano" is not part of the single name nor does not help the reader gain a better understanding about the subject. I hope this answers your question. ◢ Ganbaruby! 04:23, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

If it is mainstream, all Nogizaka 46 singles must be re-edited. I think it should follow the actual CD notation rather than the rules. It is a personal opinion. --Syun respect for music (talk) 05:23, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

@Syun respect for music: Ohh, I think I know what you're talking about. Are you referring to the the "off vocal ver." text in the track listing section? I prefer it this way, since the "off vocal ver." is a secondary piece of information about the song (see template documentation). To be sure, I've asked a question on WikiProject Album's talk page, and if consensus is reached, we'll go by that. ◢ Ganbaruby! 06:19, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

@Syun respect for music: It seems like you were right. The pages have been changed accordingly. ◢ Ganbaruby! 18:36, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

@75.111.203.5: Ok, I think there was a misunderstanding. I took the word "legendary" to mean "well known" or "famous", which led to my decision to revert your edit. I've reworded the lead sentence to make it clearer. Thanks for letting me know. ◢ Ganbaruby! (talk) 05:26, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

POV-pushing(?) regarding the status of Taiwan in certain articles

There is currently a discussion at WP:AN/I regarding [1]. The thread is Possible shared account/paid editing?. 194.207.146.167 (talk) 12:50, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your help

Hi Ganbaruby, Thank you for your message and advice! I have added the word "classically" to the article of Emily Watson since acting training at the accredited drama schools in the UK is a classical training in acting. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me as I would be glad to discuss my work on Wikipedia with you!--Coreyar (talk) 03:34, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

• I can see that you have removed some words from my contributions to some actor pages, but I would like to add the word "classically" as mentioned above back to these actors' articles.--Coreyar (talk) 03:35, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
  • @Coreyar: No problem! I was just concerned about the word "classical". Does this word carry special meaning in this context? ◢ 　Ganbaruby!　 03:36, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
    • The word "classical" refers to the traditional British way of training actors at their accredited drama schools, which mostly consist of the same classical exercises and training format - in voice, movement, Shakespeare, etc. They all have a similar classical format in training culminating in the final showcase which the graduating actors perform for British industry producers/agents/directors/etc. I had no intention whatsoever in using the word "classically" to add puffery to any articles, but it has its relevant meaning in the UK drama school world. The word "classical" distinguishes British drama training as opposed to e.g. American acting training where most acting schools follow a certain method or technique (e.g. Meisner, Method, etc.). Even universities like NYU teach its students method/Meisner/etc., whereas classical training at British drama schools do not focus their training on such techniques.--Coreyar (talk) 03:41, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
      • I would like to add though that the classical training at a lot of British drama schools has references to the Stanislavski system, but it really depends - most British drama schools do not emphasize a certain technique or method.--Coreyar (talk) 03:45, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
        • @Coreyar: I didn't know that. Feel free to add it back in. ◢ 　Ganbaruby!　 06:02, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
          • Thank you, Ganbaruby! I really appreciate your help! Would you mind joining in my discussion with User:Justlettersandnumbers since this editor has literally deleted everything I have just contributed to Wikipedia for the first time without even giving me a chance to explain myself. This editor has even added red links back to an article I edited, which in itself is against Wikipedia policy, and has removed even more information than what the article originally had in the first place before I started editing it and did not give me any hance to explain myself before reverting literally all of my edits. I would very much appreciate your contribution to this discussion, since you are a much more experienced editor than I am!--Coreyar (talk) 13:20, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
            • P.S. could you please explain how I could revert back all of my edits of all articles that I have edited so far, since I think it would be more fair to do so and then discuss afterwards what should be edited or removed in order to give me a chance to explain myself to User:Justlettersandnumbers?--Coreyar (talk) 13:23, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
              • P.P.S. User:Justlettersandnumbers has literally labelled everything I have edited as "inappropriate edits" without even discussing it with me first, for example I edited one word on the article of Middlesex University where the place Hendon was mentioned and all I only did was refer that word to the Wikipedia page of Hendon.....I do not see how referring one word in an article to its own article as an "inappropriate edit"....? I find that very strange and that User:Justlettersandnumbers is literally allowed to delete every edit I have made without discussing it first with me and automatically labelling and accusing me of "inappropriate edits" without giving me the chance to explain myself like I did with you who made me feel very much more welcome as a new editor :) --Coreyar (talk) 13:29, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
                • • It seems like Justlettersandnumbers (talk · contribs) has made the article of Drama Studio London sound like a "distance learning" school when it is really a top 20 FDS accredited drama school in the UK that you have to audition for and can only attend in person, but he makes it look like that is not the case and has literally removed every piece of information of the article and added red links back and is not allowing me to edit the article at all which is also against Wikipedia policy as he is claiming ownership of the article without even discussing it with me or allowing me to edit the article.--Coreyar (talk) 13:40, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Uploading every alternative cover for Japanese idol groups' singles

Is extremely excessive. Do not be surprised in the future if all these extra covers you have taken the time to upload are deleted or nominated for deletion for stretching the fair use criteria, because this many on one article, some with only minor differences in the posing of the girls, is already debatably doing so.

Reliable sources were provided

Your revision of the edit to the page of David_Clarke_(Australian_politician) which stated that a reliable source had not been provided was mistaken. Four separate sources were provided and the third literally uses the term "Nazi" to refer to Urbanchich in the title (and also in the URL, for what it's worth).

Can you identify a problem with the reputability of any of the sources listed? None of the sources were removed in your edit so it's not clear which (if any) of the sources you consider problematic.

Upon a second look, I've realized my revert may have been too hasty, so I apologize about that. However, I would like to note that Mark Aarons, the writer of the article, is an outspoken critic of Urbanchich. To adhere to WP:NPOV, I've reworded the sentence in question according to my understanding; please let me know if my sentence is not correct.

RE:- Recent edit to Ghatwals and Mulraiyats

I saw that you did not allow the Recent edit to Ghatwals and Mulraiyats as it did not have any citations from reliable sources. The information that was on the page before hand was too heavily dependant on references to primary sources. So I brought the relevant information from the hyperlinked Wikipedia pages and applied it to the Ghatwals and Mulraiyats page. This is the reason that no citations were added.

Also much of the current text very confusing and unclear so I have worded it in a more user friendly manner. Please can you re-review my edit with this information in mind.

Kind regards - P — Preceding unsigned comment added by Howdoyouphil (talk • contribs) 11:25, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

@Howdoyouphil: Rewording for clarity is not the problem; it's that you removed all the sources. Although primary sources are not ideal, they are still better than no sources at all. Each Wikipedia page must be properly sourced and cited without exception to fulfill the verifiability guideline, one of Wikipedia's core policies; saying that a link contains the citation is not good enough. Please reference the referencing for beginners tutorial in your future endeavors. ◢   Ganbaruby!   (talk to me) 19:08, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

School of the Prophets article

The School of the Prophets article was likely originally written by someone familiar with the Mormon faith. However, we feel that the time has come for this article to be written by an actual member of this School of the Prophets. I have been an active member since 1982, and thus feel far more qualified to write this article than the original writer. Please work with me if you see anything that needs to be adjusted. Thanks!

Reverting to the wrong edit is a vandalism.

@倉下月海: Sorry, but I have no idea what you mean. My edit to Hinatazaka46 was merely a rewording/elaboration of the same information that I'm assuming you wrote. Please be specific about what issues you find in my edit. ◢   Ganbaruby!   (talk to me) 19:31, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Dear Ganbaruby,

I noticed you edited and removed my Edits to Cameron Crazies. I removed 2 citations because they were simply incorrect. I also cited Kenny Dennard's video with a tape of the Original Airball. Kenny Dennard was one of the starting forwards along with Gene Banks at the game. That game featured UNC going into the 4 Corners (a stall ball technique) for the entire first half. Rich Yonakor lost patience and threw up the original airball. I was in Cameron that day when we started the Airball chant.

Because you edited my corrections without contacting me first, I would greatly appreciate your restoring it.

Here's another citation you can add.

https://www.wralsportsfan.com/unc-and-duke-1979-from-air-ball-to-black-sunday-/17386092/

"“Air Ball” and the 7-0 game"

"Yonakor, after not taking a shot since pre-game warm ups (nor had any of his teammates), put up a shot that missed everything, and I do mean everything.

These were the days before Duke’s loud and creative student cheering section had become known as the “Cameron Crazies.” But the students’ presence made an impact just like today. When Yonakor, known to his teammates as “Chick,” put up that first timid Tar Heel attempt from the field, a derisive cheer erupted from the front rows of the Indoor Stadium.

“Air ball, air ball, air ball,” they chanted. I believe that was the moment the “air ball” chant, which is common today, was first born. I have heard Mike Gminski say on television he believes that was the first time the cheer was used. And I know I had never heard it before."

Please, in the future, contact me first about edits.

Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jml2621 (talk • contribs) 05:21, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

@Jml2621: Thanks for the heads up. A little bit of digging showed that the year should be 1979, so the article has been updated. That being said, many other things you added were unsourced, so those will not be restored by me. Additionally, YouTube videos are generally not to be used as sources. The link you provided above from WRAL is considered a reliable source, so you should've cited that one instead. ◢   Ganbaruby!   (talk to me) 06:10, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Ganbaruby. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! – Juliancolton | ^Talk 15:59, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Your edit of D.C. Anderson entry

Ummmmm, why would you remove factual material on Wikipedia? Look up D.C. Anderson on IMDB EVERY CREDIT THERE IS FACT CHECKED BY IMDB Please reverse your edit. It was done in error. While you are there, do me a favor and add to the discography SARASOTA released 2/02/2020 (Check Spotify, YouTube) DavidCAnderson (talk) 04:44, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

@DavidCAnderson: You were reverted because the information you added was unsourced, and it is ultimately your responsibility to add sources whenever you make a claim. Please reference this guide to see how you can do that. Citing IMDb is problematic because information there is user-submitted, so I would find other sources backing up your claims. When you do so, please remember to italicize the title. On a separate, your username suggests that there might be a conflict of interest. If you have any affiliation with D. C. Anderson, please read the policy on COI editing, disclose your connection, and edit cautiously. ◢   Ganbaruby!   (remember to ping!) 05:15, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

You are IMPORTANTLY mistaken about IMDB. - yes it is user submitted but all credits are vetted before they can appear on the site. DavidCAnderson (talk) 13:53, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Source for SPECIFIC D.C. Anderson CD’s THAT HAVE BEEN RELEASED ON LML MUSIC is at www.LMLMUSIC.com. Source for further D.C. Anderson CD’s can be found on Spotify. Apple Music etc. DavidCAnderson (talk) 13:55, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

@DavidCAnderson: The current consensus on Wikipedia is that IMDb should not be used as a source. The same goes for online music retailers and streaming services. The LML Music source is allowed if only used for the discography section and not for promotional purposes. ◢   Ganbaruby!   (remember to ping!) 15:53, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello Ganbaruby. What you did is known as appeal to a perceived authority to justify your conclusion or censorship. It is a philosophical fallacy of reasoning. Perhaps you are a bit touchy because of the wet markets in your native home land.

If you think about what has been said on a philosophy page it fits with the animal rights movement. Your lack of broad understanding and quick to revert attitude exhibited on other pages too in this case inhibits the animal rights movement.

The animal right to not be treated as property has practical implications for human health which is not often appreciated. Covid-19 for example is likely to have originated in a wet market. In a wet market live animals are slaughtered and sold for consumption. The wet markets came about to inhibit starvation of millions of people under communist rule. In the wet markets, of which there are many in the world, cages are stacked one above the other. Animals in the lower cages are often soaked in bodily fluids such as faces, urine, puss, and blood, excreted from animals above them. That is how viruses can jump from one animal to another. If the animal is slaughtered and sold for consumption the virus has an evolutionary opportunity to jump the species barrier. Many viruses that affect humans have their evolutionary origins in animals. Influenza comes from birds and pigs. HIV/AIDS from chimpanzees. Ebola likely came from bats. There is some evidence Covid-19 came from a bat via a pangolin before infecting a human. — Preceding unsigned comment added by R A Curtis BSc (BioSc) (talk • contribs) 09:59, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

@R A Curtis BSc (BioSc): Please understand that you were not reverted because your edits are not true, you were reverted because they violate Wikipedia's policy on no original reserach. The bulk of your edits are unsourced, subjective observations that do not belong in an encyclopedia.

Music of Vanuatu Reversions 2020-03-23

Hello, ◢   Ganbaruby!  , I have a question on why you reverted the Music_of_Vanuatu page repeatedly today. I read your comment on the Talk page for 61.68.185.222, and I wondered specifically which parts of the Manual of Style you were considering violated. I'm new to editing Wikipedia myself, but have found lists of musicians useful in the past when researching a genre, instrument, or national music scene. I think the list of musicians that 61.68.185.222 kept adding could be a valuable addition, but I'd like to work with you to find a way that we can make it fit the MoS.

Should it be a separate page, linked within the Music_of_Vanuatu page, similar to the List of New Zealand musicians?

Thank you for your time reading this, and I look forward to discussing it with you further. Kohrmy (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:38, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

@Kohrmy: The biggest reason here is that none of the list entries have their own articles because they aren't notable, and the list itself isn't verifiable. Its inclusion will bring several problems down the line. How do we verify if these musicians actually exist? Who decides if a musician should be included or not? Since these are musicians, there's also a possible BLP issue too. WP:SOURCELIST and WP:LISTCRITERIA go into a lot of detail what should or should not be included in lists; I encourage you to take a look at it, and let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. ◢   Ganbaruby!   (remember to ping!) 02:27, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
