Question from Vitaium (03:05, 1 November 2021)

Hello Berrely! What is the difference between disruptive editing and vandalism? --Vitaium (talk) 03:05, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Vitaium, disruptive editing is editing in a way that doesn't improve the encyclopaedia, whilst not obviously vandalising. Something to not that, while disruptive editing is not always vandalism, vandalism is always disruptive. You can see some example of disruptive editing at WP:DISRUPTSIGNS — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 18:00, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Question

Hello, sorry for bothering, I found and added new references for Orbit Culture page, could you check if the template message can be removed now? BlackSiren77 (talk) 07:03, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Question from Vitaium on Wikipedia:Redirect (12:33, 3 November 2021)

Hello Berrely! Is it possible to create a redirect to special page using:

#REDIRECT [[Name of the special page]]

? --Vitaium (talk) 12:33, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Vitaium yes it is. Twinkle also allows you to add the relevant categorisation templates with its tag function. — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 16:49, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Question from Vitaium (06:28, 4 November 2021)

Hello Berrely! Should i use WP:DRV or WP:REFUND if the page is speedily deleted under the criteria F7, F9, F11, U5, A7, A9, A11, G3, G4, G10, G11 or G12? --Vitaium (talk) 06:28, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

@Vitaium, DRV is generally for XfDs like AfD, whereas refund is for speedy deletions. So, in this case, you should use REFUND. — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 17:58, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Klezmer

This edit:

The edit summary seems completely out of whack. Did you use some automated tool? Loew Galitz (talk) 22:00, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

One of he errors is that in "copied from" in mentions the target article, rather than the source article. Basically, it says that "Klezmer" was copied from "Klezmer".

The same shit I see in many of your recent edits. No big deal, but better fix it. Loew Galitz (talk) 22:12, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Loew Galitz sorry, I was using a tool and seems it only supports the source page. Regardless, the "this edit" link still links to the infringing diff, and the revision link still links to the correct revision. It may be a bit confusing, but the links are there, so I don't think it's necessary to do another batch of null edits. I also added a more user friendly attribution template to Talk:Secular Jewish music. Apologies for any confusion (Note: Those edits were part of a large scale contributor copyright investigation, see WP:Contributor copyright investigations/Epson291 for more information). — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 06:33, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Question from Argelmdr (23:15, 9 November 2021)

Hello Berrely! It's so nice to e-meet you! I am very new to this so bear with me, when creating a page, how long does it usually take to get approved from draft to a page? --Argelmdr (talk) 23:15, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Argelmdr welcome to Wikipedia :D. As drafts are reviewed in no specific order, a review can take up to the amount of time that is on the review template. — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 06:59, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Question from Mizunaki (19:50, 11 November 2021)

Hi, I'm an MBBS. I want to majorly focus on how to learn and contribute more about human genes information, DNA data analysis researches and cell mutation. --Mizunaki (talk) 19:50, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Mizunaki and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm very grateful that a subject-matter expert like you has decided to help contribute. For a guide on getting started with editing, I highly recommend reading Help:Introduction, which has useful advise. You may also find that reading the information on the page of our medical "WikiProject", Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine, might be helpful. Finally, if you intend to add content with medical citations, you should read Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine), which explains are relevant policies there. I hope this helps you, and once again, welcome to Wikipedia. — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 16:35, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Question from Vitaium on Wikipedia:Edit requests (04:46, 13 November 2021)

Hello Berrely! How to make an edit request if a page is protected but the talk page is also protected? --Vitaium (talk) 04:46, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Vitaium, you are currently extended confirmed, so you should never have this issue. However if you do, you would make the request at WP:RFPP/E and press "Request edit". — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 10:23, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello Berrely! Where should i request a block for other reasons (other than vandalism, username policy violation, or sockpuppet)? --Vitaium (talk) 10:25, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Vitatium, you can request administrator intervention additionally on an admin's talk page, or as a last resort, WP:AN and WP:ANI. For a list of active administrators, see this tool and select "administrators" or Wikipedia:List of administrators/Active. — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 10:28, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

Question from Vitaium on Wikipedia:Content assessment (14:58, 21 November 2021)

Hello Berrely! What is an unassessed article? --Vitaium (talk) 14:58, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

@Vitaium, an usaasessed article is an article that hasn't been given relevant content assessments such as WikiProjects, Stub-B class, etc. You can use a tool like WP:RATER to help with this. — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 10:33, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
