The Bots Edit

Recently your bot (don't recall it's name) edited a page on Naruto Uzumaki this edit reverted my content that in no way was vandilism. So I please ask could you do some validity check on my and the Bots part. Akiba2 (talk) 07:54, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Copyvios API

Hi Rich. I'm investigating why my copyvios tool is exhausting its daily quota for Google searches. According to the logs, a substantial number of API queries (over 7,000 from Thursday to Saturday) are coming from someone identifying themselves as you. You are welcome to use this tool for checking articles, but could you reduce the frequency? Our daily quota of Google searches (shared by all users of the tool) allows only about 2,000 article checks per day. I think a safe upper limit for you is 500 checks per day, working out to about one check every 3 minutes, assuming continuous usage. Can you do this? — Earwig talk 03:18, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

@The Earwig: Yep, sorry... there was an initial burst, from now on it will be max of 200 per run, which is done every 12 hours - RichT|C|E-Mail 18:19, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Review Togni draft

Hi Rich, Thanks for your view of the Togni draft. Can you clarify where there is still a copyright question? I place a rewrite of the article in the Temp section here, which I believe resolved the concern. Thank you for your help! (Dzanueh (talk) 19:02, 25 October 2020 (UTC))

Pinging @Justlettersandnumbers: as they added the copyvio template, they can determine if the temp article solved the copyvio issue - RichT|C|E-Mail 19:09, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the ping, Rich_Smith! The rewrite is not useable, it still contains substantial taking from the same websites – please see, for example, this. @Dzanueh:, everything you write in Wikipedia must (with a few very rare exceptions) be entirely in your own words.

I didn't know about the fact that Уnglish version of the article about Lyudmila Pavlichenko exists. The problem is that I really don't understand fully how Wikipedia works, because I am not an English speaker and I just have a special task to write an article dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Great Victory. I was trying my best to translate it from Russian to English and now I really don't know what to do, because it seems to me that I just cannot write something original. There are a lot of topics, but all of them are already exist on Wikipedia. My article has another topic, not just "Lyudmila Pavlichenko", so can I have an opportunity to be published? :(

Nickname of town

I am Rcawhick. I grew up in Walled Lake and the town IS nicknamed Waltucky. Why is this vandalism? That makes no sense. A brief discussion on the I grew up in Walled Lake Facebook page will confirm this. I am proud MY family moved from Kentucky to Walled Lake. It has been nicknamed this for decades. I even have a license plate with it. I noticed Taylor Michigan has the nickname TaylorTucky on the Wikipedia. Why is that allowed? I do not understand the hostility. I just wanted to contribute and celebrate my towns heritage. This makes no sense.

I would appreciate a reply. have a good day — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rcawhick (talkcontribs) 18:53, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

@Rcawhick: Original research is not allowed without a source to back it up, per WP:NOR. Also your edit broke a reference. Also, ClueBot is a robot that acts on its own, it did not revert you because I told it to... coming to moan at me will not help - RichT|C|E-Mail 19:04, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
