Hi S0091! It's good to talk to you again! I hope you're having a great day and that life is treating you well. :-) I'm leaving you a message to let you know that I declined your tagging of User:Anonymous28510 for CSD under G10 because it did not appear to be a blatant attack page. If I'm incorrect or if I'm missing something, please let me know as soon as possible (ping me in your responses here so that I'm notified) so that I can take care of the matter as quickly as I can. Thanks :-) ~Oshwah~ 19:39, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Nevermind... I just noticed what you probably saw in the content on that user page. Sorry; please disregard my message and my decline. :-) ~Oshwah~ 19:42, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

@Oshwah: Yeah, because of their previous edit to the article I read their user page more carefully. It was buried in there for sure. Thanks for leaving a note and wish you a great day as well. :) S0091 (talk) 19:54, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

I am, or rather was, already an editor here but have lost my login details and been forced to re-register. I am a professional editor of many years' experience, specialising in Italy/Italian/Art History/Renaissance. I see a lot of substandard Ital-glish on here and try to correct it when I can.

@EGLogan: Thank you for your contributions! If you remember your previous user name, it might be a good idea to note that on your current user page and the old one so you do not run into WP:SOCK issues. Accusations of sock puppetry happens on occasion when people create a new account because they cannot log into to their old one and noting the the new user name is a preventative measure to make it clear why you are editing under a different user name.

Regarding editpage of https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Imran_Khan_(Bollywood_actor)

Hi S0091!

https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Imran_Khan_(Bollywood_actor) The details mentioned in this page is outdated regarding Anil pal , imran khans father ,

some news websites are also mentioning that he is no more a software engineer .

https://www.lehren.com/news/bollywood/featured/7-bollywood-stars-who-chose-to-keep-their-mother-s-surname-20190122

he used to wrk with yahoo and is now retired as per his personal linkedin page

according to wikipedia , linkedin is considered as a reliable source sometimes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:External_links/Perennial_websites

I mean to say after checking the profile pic of the linkedin profile and alos the workexperience and the education this is not a fake ptofile incase you want image of anil pal with imran khan:

you can see the same man in the pics of avantika and imran wedding

https://www.weddingsutra.com/blog/avantika-and-imrans-wedding-photographs/

isnt the above facts reliable enough?

Recent Edit

I changed "Percy" to PBS (Percy B. Shelley's initials) because Percy refers to his son in all period diaries and letters as well as biographical works. The poet Shelley never used the name Percy. He referred to himself as Shelley, and in Byron's, Mary Shelley's, Claire Clairmont's, and others' letters, journals and correspondence of the time, he is ALWAYS Shelley. "Percy" was his son. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.154.8.76 (talk) 23:15, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

Help?

I'm pretty new to the whole 'reverting vandalism' thing. How do you handle folks who seem determined to? I saw the ability to report, but I guess I'm not sure how far it has to go before it should be reported? Any advice would be welcome and appreciated, since this seems to be your specialty. :D OwnstheBeagles (talk) 00:10, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi @OwnstheBeagles: I am pretty sure I know the editor you are referring to and have just reverted them and placed a sterner warning on their talk page. They seem like a troll, see WP:DENY. Please refer to WP:VD for Misplaced Pages's vandalism policy. Typically you report when it is obvious vandalism and they have received a level 4 warning but they continue. S0091 (talk) 00:16, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

They were just blocked. S0091 (talk) 00:17, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

@OwnstheBeagles: Anytime! I also find WP:IDT helpful. While not policy, I think the examples of what is and what is not vandalism are more clear than the policy. S0091 (talk) 00:24, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

That bit on editing tests is especially useful, thanks! I imagine it gets easier telling which from which with practice. :D OwnstheBeagles (talk) 00:32, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

@OwnstheBeagles: It does but even the most experienced makes mistakes sometimes so keep that in mind as well. Also. if you are going to revert vandalism, be prepared for the occasional nasty comment. Go through my talk page history for some lovely gems. :) S0091 (talk) 00:43, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

question so I can learn from my mistakes

Hey! you reverted my comment under Alex Pall on the The Chainsmokers' page. Just curious what was wrong with it or how I could have made that text better so it would not have been reverted and so I can learn for the future. Thanks so much for your feedback! — Preceding unsigned comment added by IMme4u09 (talk • contribs) 04:55, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi @IMme4u09: Misplaced Pages must take extra care with biographies of living people thus any content added regarding a living person must be strongly sourced, especially claims that could cause harm to the person. Alex Pall cheating on his girlfriend, in my opinion, at least skirted WP:BLPGOSSIP and WP:GRAPEVINE. In addition, TMZ is typically not considered a reliable source as it is a tabloid and the news.com article attributed The Sun as its source, which has been deemed unreliable (see ). If you do believe the content is encyclopedic and does belong in the article, first you must provide stronger sources. Once you have better sourcing, I highly recommend starting a discussion on the The Chainsmokers talk page so you can gain consensus from other editors before adding the content. See WP:TP for guidance on using talk pages (i.e. don't forget to sign you name with the four tiles ~~~~). Thank you for asking the question! :) S0091 (talk) 14:27, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Got it, thank you. I only cited TMZ because that is the actually video of Alex Pall. I didn't to post a third party, I actually wanted it to be the interview. Should I still not use it? I can also put this question on his talk page if that is better. Really appreciate all your feedback! — Preceding unsigned comment added by :::IMme4u09 (talk • contribs) 16:27, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

@IMme4u09: I honestly think it is best to discuss on the talk page. However, before you start the discussion, please read WP:TP so you follow the correct format. You have "broken some rules" here, which is understandable for a new editor like yourself but some editors are very particular about it. Best of luck! S0091 (talk) 16:45, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Duke

Look at the University of Chicago's lead and compare it to the lead in the Duke article. Are you really suggesting that including a few rankings is boosterism when other schools' leads are so elaborate? This double standard is utterly ridiculous. Selective enforcement completely undermines the credibility of Misplaced Pages.

Hi @Srwadia: You added the content to the reference section and to a reference that is dated in 2015 (sames as the IP did, which was reverted both by me and another editor), not the lead or the body of the article. Please ensure any content you add follows Misplaced Pages's policies. As for double standards, see other stuff exists. I do not believe any editor would have an issue if content added is reliably sourced and follows WP:MOS. Please also try to remember to sign your posts. S0091 (talk) 01:06, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt response. I'll add my content to the lead with appropriate citations later. You definitely earned that kitten!

@Srwadia:, Perfect! If you have any issues once you add an appropriate source, just start a discussion on the article's talk page to gain consensus (see WP:BRD). I do appreciate the message (and the kitten) and wish you the best. :) S0091 (talk) 01:17, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Yes, but just because the article does not meet all the guidelines does not mean the article should not exist, simply that some of the content within the article needs to be rewritten in a neutral tone. S0091 (talk) 18:27, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Editing Gloucester City AFC wiki page

Hi,

I think you have redacted / undone the changes I made today on the Gloucester City AFC wiki page, specifically in the 'Formation and the early years' section. As currently written, the Wiki page disagrees with the club's very detailed history on its official website. That is why I made the change. On the balance of probabilities, the official website is likely to be more accurate than the Wiki page. Much of that section is without any references.

So my polite question (in trying to ensure Wiki agrees with the official website) is why did you remove my updates? Was it simply due to copyright? I thought it was good practice to accurately reference all Wiki items. Alternatively did you remove my comments because I literally exactly cut and paste the sentences word for word? If I wrote the information from the official website in my own words (without a complete cut and paste), would the edits be allowed to stand?

If the section is left unchanged, it is misleading if not incorrect. I look forward to your helpful advice on this matter.

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:F70F:7200:B7:6797:63F8:D6DF (talk) 21:03, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi! Yes, the reason your edits were removed was because of the copyright violations which is a serious issue. I actually understand why you thought copy/pasting was ok after running a copyvio check. It found about 95% of the content in the History section likely was copy/paste from the site. This was after I removed your edits so I presume they have been there for some time before yours. The other issue is the source itself as it fails WP:SOURCE so is not considered a reliable source (I know, so many rules). For example, Coco-Cola's website is not consider a reliable source (outside of standard information like who the CEO is, etc.) because there is no independent oversight/fact-checking of the content.

To answer you other question, yes, if you paraphrase then it would not be a copyright violation. What would be fantastic if you could actually find independent reliable sources on history of the organization and use those. I am also going to leave you a Welcome message with link to policies and other guidance. I am glad you are asking these questions, although I understand if you find the answers frustrating.

Thanks for your very helpful comments. You have raised some massive points here. Firstly, thanks for clearing up that one cannot simply cut and paste material into Misplaced Pages from an external source without violating copyright. I won't do that again. However, as you say about 95% of the content in the History section was likely directly taken (just reworded) from the Gloucester City website's history page. Whilst I fully appreciate your example that the Coca-Cola website is not an independent resource, this ruling causes a problem when it comes to football club history information. In reality, in almost all cases the club's website is going to be the most accurate source. For some really large professional clubs, you may find alternative sources of information about the club history. However for most clubs (certainly those of the size of Gloucester) when once does a search of web resources about the club's history, the only pages that come up are the official site and Misplaced Pages. You occasionally get other pages but they are clearly just quoting from one or both of these sources. One has to take the accuracy of the official website in good faith. In Gloucester's case, one can see a detailed section that looks very free from bias imho. Its main source appears to be the book quoted on the Wiki page (Clark, Timothy R. D in collaboration with Kujawa, Rob (2009). The Complete Record of Gloucester City AFC 1883–2009), which itself was probably produced using old newspaper articles, some dating back to the late 19th Century. Neither this book nor the very old newspaper articles are available online. So the next most logical thing is to trust - in good faith - the club's official history page. Frankly, if one is not prepared to trust it, then most of the Gloucester History section on Misplaced Pages might be considered invalidated, and perhaps not even suitable for publication on Misplaced Pages. However, if you fail to accept the club's website as acceptable, then the VAST majority of football club pages on Misplaced Pages should be without a history section. There surely has to be some sort of compromise (don't you agree)? Finally, the reason I chose to edit Gloucester's History section is because I believe as it currently appears, it DOES NOT accurately reflect the club's official website (which as I have said is the only possible online source that can be used as a reference). Whereas the official site admits that the current Gloucester club is really the third iteration of the club (although still chooses to link the modern day club with one that was created in 1883), the Misplaced Pages page as written conveniently ignores this important information. It is quite common for fans of a football team to claim the club's history back to a date that is earlier than the truth. Whereas Gloucester still claim their club was founded in 1883, their history page at least acknowledges that the current club was not technically this same club. So..the conclude, if the Wiki page is not updated to reflect this information, it will remain misleading/incorrect. I look forward to your suggestions on how it can be corrected, bearing in mind that the material I disagree with in Gloucester's History section on Misplaced Pages has no reference at all. I was just intending to replace incorrect, unreferenced material with information taken from the official website, albeit I should not have quoted the information word for word. Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:F70F:7200:B8D6:B4F6:AC92:E984 (talk) 10:38, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

I have made my second attempt at updating the History section. I have used my own words, and been significantly more succinct. So I don't believe I have violated any copyright rules on this occasion (no more than any of the rest of the History section that long predates my amendment). Since you did not want me to use the Gloucester official website as my source, I cannot add one. However, most of the History section likewise has no references that would meet the high Wiki standards. The page is now significantly more accurate after my amendment. I have plenty of experience of football club histories. There is no way the club itself would acknowledge that two earlier versions of it existed and folded if this were not true. Clubs generally want to advertise their history as being continuous and unbroken from the earlier date possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:F70F:7200:FC63:D29B:AA77:B044 (talk) 14:53, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

I will not be the one to review your edits again for transparent impartiality as I think another editor should evaluate them (who reviews Pending Changes edits is random). I cannot address all you concerns right now but will in a couple days or so but in the meantime thank you for addressing the issues raised. S0091 (talk) 00:27, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi IP, One clarification for the 95% I mentioned, the main issue is not with using club's site as a source. It is because the content is copy/pasted from the site, thus a copyright violation and technically should be rewritten. I see your edits were accepted so I hope that addresses your concern about the incorrect information that was in the article. The club's site does actually have sources for some of the content, such as newspaper clippings and does not appear to make wild self-serving claims so while it may not the best (there is some conjecture), it's not the worst either. I also a agree a source is better than no source as it allows the content to be fairly evaluated. If you happen to make any additional updates that are not accepted, I suggest starting a discussion on the article's talk page so you can gain consensus for the proposed change(s). Feel free to leave me message anytime if you have questions. Thanks again for the discussion here. Frankly Misplaced Pages could use more editors like you. Wish you the best.

Belarusian Social Democratic Assembly

on the official website of the Belarusian Social Democratic Assembly party https://bsdg.by/ there is a note. in this note, the founder of the party, Shushkevich, sharply criticizes Lukashenko’s policies.

@Govindaharihari: Thanks for letting me know. If I recall correctly, both edits were marked as "Pending Review" so I accepted both.

About the PS4 Software Category.

Hey! So the reason why I had articles like Blockbuster, Lightbox, etc is because of the applications on the PS4. I didn't really mean to cause distress. I was kinda plannin' to have other PS4 Software on there but I realized that there isn't really a lot of articles about that. So that is why I had a bunch of articles there.

@WildcatIsNotAGroup: I thought that might be the case but it is not appropriate to do so unless the article contains content and sources supporting the category. Please also know you are not causing distress but you should discontinue adding categories that do not meet WP:CAT requirements. You are new here so it is understandable and I hope you stay around to contribute. I will leave you a welcome message with some helpful information. Thank you for responding and if you have questions, feel free to drop by anytime. :) S0091 (talk) 21:53, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Big Enough (Kirin J. Callinan song)

I noticed you accepted a revision of this page recently. Unfortunately, the revision you accepted contained a release date change which was not backed by the iTunes source present on the article (allowed per WP:AFFILIATE). Hopefully this helps with future reviews. Jalen Folf (talk) 20:12, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi @JalenFolf: I reviewed this source ] which is the reference used in the body of the article but missed that the June date relates to the album not the single. Thank you for catching my mistake and bigger thanks for letting me know. Apologies for the trouble. S0091 (talk) 21:23, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Nassirahmed1987

Hi, regarding User talk:Nassirahmed1987, I'm not entirely sure – I'd say "vandalism" is a bit unspecific for promotional external link additions. You may freely ignore this message, it is just an expression of thought. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:43, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: Yeah, more on the spammy side in hindsight. Thanks for the note. :) S0091 (talk) 00:47, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

My contribution towards "Sam Pitroda" are TRUE and have nothing to do with vandalism or representation of any incorrect facts. Sam pitroda being summonnned by Indian court on National Herald Scam is a BIG news in India. He was given the summon at his residence in the US and this is not a new thing in India. I suggest you do some research on this case and educate yourself prior to out rightly rejecting it. The intention of Wikepedia is to provide both positive and negative aspect of personalities. This forum is not for advertising one's highness. Please revert my changes as they are CORRECT and as per the 'LAW' and maintain the sanctity of the forum. If you need more information you are either to contact me or use the wikepedia on national herald case. I have NOTHING against Sam Pitroda personally! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truth198003 (talk • contribs) 14:19, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

It's not a good idea to interfere with editing an article you understand nothing about.90.154.71.46 (talk) 21:25, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi IP, you have been reverted by three other editors, not just me. The per WP:BRD and WP:ONUS the required course of action is to start a discussion on the article's talk page so consensus can be gained from the community. Being an expert is no matter here. S0091 (talk) 21:45, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

S0091, See Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Sandro78/Archive and Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1020#Please_restore_the_stable_version_of_MacCullagh_ellipsoid_and_Galois_axis for details on this user. Starting a discussion isn't a path forward as long as he's evading a block. - MrOllie (talk) 21:54, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

@MrOllie: Ahh, I see. Thank you for the information. I am sure you have already noticed they have added content again. S0091 (talk) 22:03, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Misplaced Pages.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Rutgers Football

Hey, I was just curious about head coaches that have had multiple stints because in other cases, they would have their records including the previous stint when shown as head coach, but if I'm wrong, that's perfectly fine.KENGRIFFEY24FAN —Preceding undated comment added 18:55, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi @KENGRIFFEY24FAN: that's actually a great question and one I do not have an answer to. I suggest posing this at the article's talk page so other editors can participate in the discussion. I honestly believe it is a discussion worth having. I do see now where you were coming from with your edit and will strike the notice I left you. Of course you are free to remove it entirely. Thanks for the note and wish you the best. S0091 (talk) 00:07, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

You are most welcome.

Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:40, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi @Fylindfotberserk:, this was the first time I ran into a situation where I could not revert an edit because it would add back a blacklisted source. It took me a few minutes to figure out which one was blacklisted and the approach to take. I now understand I need to check the reference section to see if I broke anything before I publish the changes. Appreciate your help! S0091 (talk) 17:50, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks man. Actually after I clicked revert, I warned the user only to find that it was not restored because of the blacklisted site. I was trying to find some reliable sources to replace with the blacklisted ones in the meantime. But what you did is OK. There are too many sources in the article already. Let others add it if think it is necessary. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:56, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

People have been notified about the Census2011.co.in many times, but still they put it. I regularly remove it from district and town/village articles, replacing them with good sources, but for the whole state, it is cumbersome and time taking for me. I've a lot of other articles to check today. Thanks again. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:59, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions on Jeff Van Drew

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
