Question from Trevor TDK (19:58, 7 May 2024)

Hello! Would I be able to create a Wikipedia page about an upcoming album that has information about it from the artist themselves? Just want to make sure if I have to wait or not. --Trevor TDK (talk) 19:58, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello Trevor TDK, you would need to find reliable sources not from the artist themselves as well. Could you tell me the name of the artist? Please note, I will be taking a wikibreak for a few days due to certain IRL commitments that must take priority, but I'm sure one of my talk page stalkers will be happy to answer any additional questions that you might have, or provide advice for you. Happy editing! Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Online) 02:25, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

The artist is Falling in Reverse. Trevor TDK (talk) 03:26, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

@Trevor TDK, Like Yoshi said. You need to provide a reliable source for the information. Did you get a WikiWelcome message that shows help for learning the basics of Wikipedia? If not, I can give you one. But, word of mouth isn’t a reliable source as it can’t be verified. Thank you, Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 18:30, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

On adding section to an article

Hi Yoshi! I hope you are well. I wanted to ask something about a topic. I want to add a section in (an unrelated) Wikipedia article about something. So how should I do it. I know that I'll have to go on the talk page of the article first. But I am not sure of the whole process how to do it. Could you guide me how? Thanks Knightknight12345 (talk) 11:35, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, @Knightknight12345. Yoshi is currently on WikiBreak due to personal reasons. What is the article and what do you want to add into the article? Thank you, Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 18:34, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

thanks for responding. But I've decided not to edit the article right now.Knightknight12345 (talk) 18:35, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Incorrect contribution (request for help)

Dear Yoshi24517, I am Oksana Gekk. I am writing to you because you have already made edits to this contribution https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Teodor_Currentzis&diff=prev&oldid=1193234321 I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this contribution is generally untrue.

On January 2, 2024 there was no concert given by Teodor Currentzis at the Saint Petersburg Philharmonia. According to the official website of the Philharmonia, there were three concerts by other performers at the Philharmonia, but not Currentzis. https://www.philharmonia.spb.ru/en/afisha/?ev_y=2023&ev_m=1&ev_z=&ev_v=

Moreover, the only source for this contribution is tabloid media – Slipped Disc, a blog primarily focusing on classical music industry gossip, as it is mentioned here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lebrecht

In turn, Slipped Disc refers to a Facebook post, thus violating the prohibition to use self-published sources about a living person unless written or published by the subject.

I would kindly ask you for your help with editing of this contribution.

Many thanks in advance!

Best wishes, Oksana. Oksana Gekk (talk) 16:01, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Oksana Gekk, I may have edited the page, but that was due to vandalism. I removed the vandalism. What I was watching was a recent changes feed. Once I take action on the edit, it moves to the next page, so I do not see any edits that happen afterwards. If you think it is wrong, you may remove it, but be prepared to support your statement. Not quite sure why I'm being asked about an anti-vandalism edit I made 4 months ago. Hope this helps. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Very Busy) 20:02, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

ANI for Talk:Yasuke

Snuff films and "alleged"

Hi, I'm new to Wikipedia and english isn't my first language so I hope I'm doing this right, sorry if this is meant to be in the article talk page instead, I didn't want to start an edit war. Snuff films are alleged according to the article itself, as the lead concludes with "According to the fact-checking website Snopes, there has never been a verified example of a genuine commercially produced snuff film. Videos of actual murders (such as beheading videos) have been made available to the public, generally through the Internet; however, those videos have been made and broadcast by the murderers either for their own gratification or for propaganda purposes, and not for financial gain and thus do not qualify, by definition, as a 'snuff film'." It is also stated in more detail that snuff films are not known to exist in the "Reality" section of the article.

If you like I can keep the word "alleged" out of it but was the rest of my edit (making it clearer that they are explicitly made and sold for profit, and removing the arguably redundant statement that they are often graphic) okay and I can revert it or do you think it was better before? Up to you, you don't have to give a reason.

Thank you. Sorry if I did this wrong. -unsigned comment by IP 2A02:C7E:3188:4C00:3982:B0EF:78AA:B84C

Hello IP, I feel you can do the same edit, just without the word alleged. Your explanation makes sense, just if you add the word "alleged" it makes your edit seem a little weird. Hope this helps! Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Very Busy) 22:53, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! Have a great day. 2A02:C7E:3188:4C00:3982:B0EF:78AA:B84C (talk) 22:54, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello Yoshi24517

Please stop restoring the lines I'm deleting. It's all fake news/propaganda from a very famous communist Italian web page Fanpage.it, they cannot be trusted as they have, multiple times, spat out idiocracy to undermine public opinion of the Right. Please abstain from ever linking them as a source to any political article, thanks!

- Wery W3ryfrate (talk) 22:00, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

W3ryfrate, it was because you deleted content without explaining why. See the gentle warning on your talk page. Had you left an edit summary, I probably would have left it alone. Most editors will revert if they see deleted content without an explanation. Please try to leave an edit summary with your edits, it helps explain what you are doing. Happy editing.

Nostalgia for the Soviet Union

This is 2 months late, my apologies, I have been busy with other stuff in my life [and when I wasn't, I forgot about this lol], but was just here to say that your reversion of my edit on the page "Nostalgia for the Soviet Union" seems to be a mistake. I did not actually do a mass-removal of content, I just organized it by SSR, using excerpts from this page, making it show as a large decrease in bytes in the edit history. Geo (talk) 20:50, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hello, @GeoColdWater. Yoshi is a bit busy with IRL things as well. It looks like your revision was totally acceptable but you should use edit summaries to help relay the information for the content changing. Thank you, Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 21:57, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Ah alright, I will use edit summaries in the future for edits like this. I presume I can bring back my edit to the page now? GeoColdWater (talk) 21:24, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

GeoColdWater: Since Cowboygilbert says it's fine, I say go ahead. Sometimes I like to have 2nd opinions before I make a decision. CG has given me that opinion. Go right ahead!

Question from Knightknight12345 (14:43, 2 July 2024)

Hi Yoshi! Hope you are well. I have a question. Can I replace the sources in a Wikipedia article. Like if one source describes a thing better than the other can I replace that source? --Knightknight12345 (talk) 14:43, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello Knightknight12345. That is a tough question. This one, I will have to talk to another colleague of mine. Courtesy ping Cowboygilbert or GrayStorm, to see if they know. I await their response, or if somebody else is stalking my talk page, they're free to answer as well. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Very Busy) 23:07, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, @Knightknight12345. What kind of source is there? It’s generally acceptable if there is a maintenance tag in place of it like {{better source needed}}, {{non-primary source needed}}, etc. If you want, you can just slap it right next to an existing source. One extra source never hurts someone if you have good faith and following the reliable sources policies! Thank you, Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 23:24, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

thanks for the response. I wanted to add a new source as it contained limited information about a sentence in the article. Like only a line was written. I wanted to add a source describing subject matter in detail Knightknight12345 (talk) 15:46, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hello. Your article is not published because no one has moved it to the mainspace. Since you are autoconfirmed, you can move the page directly to the mainspace, or you can resubmit it to articles for creation by clicking the button that says resubmit (note that articles for creation currently has a lot of submissions, and it might take 4 or more months for your article to be accepted). Before you do either of these, you should ensure your sources compliy with our reliable sources and notability guidelines. I noticed that at least a few sources are not independent of the subject of the article. I reccomend finding new, reliable, indepedent sources that feature significant coverage of the subject of the article. Happy editing!

Question from GalacticPediaNerd (17:32, 19 July 2024)

My page is being deleted by some speedy deletion tag abuser for being promotional. His name is AntiDionysius. How do I fix the page? I wasn't even trying to promote Kanel Joseph; I'm trying to write a page to provide information to Wikipedia users about him. Please review my edit. --GalacticPediaNerd (talk) 17:32, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

First off, GalacticPediaNerd, I will not help you if you are going to be combative towards people who are trying to help you. If you continue to attack other editors who are acting in good faith, I will remove you from my mentee list, and recommend a block. Second off, calm down and read everything he has said. Again, he is trying to help you. Courtesy ping: AntiDionysius Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Very Busy) 01:09, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm a new editor who hasn't published an article yet because I know it's not complete and won't be for several months. However, someone flagged it for deletion, which is confusing to me because I never published it. It's just confusing. It would make sense if I published it to review, but it was taken down immediately, and my writing was essentially wiped out when I could have worked on it or added references. I'm not mad; I'm confused. Which is allowed because I'm new here. But I apologise for earlier. Maybe I overreacted. I wasn't thinking. It felt like I was being targeted, at the time I didn't know how Wikipedia even worked because as you now this is one of my first ever articles in the process of being made, or me contributing to Wikipedia at all in 7 months. Also, I was told that I was "promoting" Kanel Joseph, which I most certainly was not; the reason why I created the page was because as you know if you search up other YouTubers, they will have a wikipedia text supplied by Google algorithms. So I decided to put my fast typing skills to work and create a new page for Kanel Joseph, but it was almost taken down immediately. Please consider that. GalacticPediaNerd (talk) 01:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

A block and a removal from mentee list is insane. I'm new. I'm still learning; I'm not perfect. GalacticPediaNerd (talk) 01:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

GalacticPediaNerd, thank you for calming down, and apologizing. I'm more than willing to help you now. I have pinged him over here, so he can give his thoughts. As I understand it, you wrote a draft article in draft space, and it was speedy deleted under the G11 criteria, which means that an administrator thought it was unambiguously promotional. It also means it would need a fundamental rewrite to become encyclopedic. Now, that necessarily is not a bad thing, it just means the article needs to be have more of a more neutral tone, or written in a tone that does not sound like it is promoting Kanel Joseph. If you need help with this, WP:NPOV is a good page to read, as it describes our neutral point of view policy. Now, I did not se ethe text of the page before it was deleted, so I'm not able to know what was on the page, but I would also recommend looking for some reliable sources to show how they are notable. I hope this helps, and happy editing. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Very Busy) 01:38, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from GalacticPediaNerd (03:41, 23 July 2024)

GalacticPediaNerd, hmmm, that depends. Are they articles that are not connected to the subject in anyway, and are subject to rigorous fact-checking? If so, I would start making a draft first to get everything together and plan it out first. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Very Busy) 18:40, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Sklevridge (17:14, 4 August 2024)

Hello Sklevridge,

Many articles have sources in languages other than English. What I think you could do, is after you machine translate it, paraphrase it and put it into the article you are working on, but when you cite the source, be sure to include a parameter in the cite web template that says |language=fr. Hope this helps! Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Very Busy) 04:48, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Myth-Science of the Gatekeepers

Hello Yoshi,

I am representing the Rainbow Serpent nonprofit organization and we are checking in on a multitude of rejected wikipedia pages. Our biggest page, Myth-Science of the Gatekeepers, seems like a good place to start! We're hoping you can provide a little more direction as to why these pages were rejected - i.e., what exactly is missing in terms of citations.

Thank you so much, Ariel ArielB RS (talk) 20:55, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

If that’s the case, you would need to have an article made about him first, and with that comes finding sources that show he is notable in some way, and has had news or online coverage of him somewhere. WP:NOTABILITY can be a guide here. WP:RS can help show what kind of sources to use.

Secondly, since he is your father, you do indeed have a conflict of interest here. As such, I would recommend that if you want to create an article, create it in the Draft space, where you can work on it. This way, you can also submit it through the articles for creation process, which I would highly recommend you do due to the conflict of interest.

Hope this helps. Yoshi24517 (mobile) (talk) (Very Busy) 00:05, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

I will get down to this soon. He was an actor with the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, and with many other Irish theatre companies, and appeared in English films.

His plays are listed in the Abbey Theatre Archives wesite as Michael Dunne and mícheál ó duinn.

I have professional photos, his portfolio, theatre programmes etc. and much more information. He toured the American east coast with The Young Ireland Theatre Company. His grandson Tal Michael Dunne has his own Wikipedia page. Mick Dunne (talk) 00:40, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Changes to Alight

Hi, why did you roll back the updates I just made to the entry for Alight? The information on that entry is very dated, and the new details I added are mostly from the organization's updated website. GiovanniGF (talk) 20:14, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi there GiovanniGF,

On mobile right now so apologies for any spelling mistakes. You also deleted a bunch of well sourced content with your edit as well. Could you try to incorporate the current info as well? In addition, you seem to rely on the same website a bunch. I know it looks like its Alight’s but I would like to ask you if you can also find some reliable sources from other websites as well, that could reflect the same information. I understand you mean well, but we try not to rely on primary sources too much. If after you search, cannot find any other sources that could possibly reference the same data, then you can use the primary source as a reference. I hope this helps! P.S., try not to put external links and references in section headers. Thanks, and happy editing. Yoshi24517 (mobile) (talk) (Very Busy) 21:04, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, I will try to find additional sources. And just a note that the content I deleted was outdated - many of the countries currently listed are no longer served by the organization. GiovanniGF (talk) 13:10, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Nothing removed

You claimed I removed content. I added that Telles was found guilty on all charges and explained the addition. Titanic4151912 (talk) 19:30, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Well Titanic4151912, I invite you to review this diff, where you deleted 1,000+ bytes without explaining why. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Very Busy) 19:33, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

inhad pressed the enter key one too many creating a large gap. I also was watching the virdict live on August 28 and therefore added that he was found guilty on all charges on August 28. That's where I accidentally pressed the enter key too many times. Titanic4151912 (talk) 19:37, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Titanic4151912, Ah, I figured as much. That happens to me a lot. I would suggest for you to redo your edit, but it seems to have already been made, with supporting sources. Apologies for that, I'll remove the warning, as it has now been explained to me. Happy editing. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Very Busy) 19:45, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Seanstatguy (01:02, 3 September 2024)

Hello! Do you know how to add the flags of people in Wikipedia pages? If so that would be very appreciated. --Seanstatguy (talk) 01:02, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello Seanstatguy, and welcome to Wikipedia! Could you be a little more specific when you mean to add the flags of people? Do you mean like flags of a person's nationality, such as American (USA flag) or French (France flag)? Let me know, so I can better assist you! :) Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Very Busy) 01:54, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
