Can I be blocked from wikipedia

Can you explain can I get blocked from wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annoymous604 (talk • contribs) 21:09, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Annoymous604, in general the answer would be yes if there is a reason for it but what makes you think that you could be blocked?! Perhaps your question is better located at the Teahouse. CommanderWaterford (talk) 21:16, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi will I be blocked if I keep doing copyright infringement — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annoymous604 (talk • contribs) 21:29, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Inter Discount

My friend, there's literally a wikipedia page for Walmart, why would there be a problem for the second biggest electronics retail in Switzerland? Btw the page is already present on the german and french wikipedias. SamZane (talk) 18:50, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

SamZane, your page had been without sources and read like an advertisement so I tagged it for speed deletion and Administrator Jimfbleak seemed to be of the same opinion so he deleted it. On your talk page you have an explanation. CommanderWaterford (talk) 18:59, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

amir khoshbin

More resources and documentation have been added, including IDs and valid links to the article(amir khoshbin)and The sources used were also edited and most of the sources can be cited in English which I hope will resolve your ambiguities about the article.

Mohammadkazemm, did you resubmit it for review? CommanderWaterford (talk) 19:00, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

:amir khoshbin

hi .in Articles for deletion/Amir Khoshbin You mentioned that some sources do not have the name of the person in question, so I added related links and ID cards, photos and more sources to prove ... Also, some links were modified ... I hope the reforms are convincing for you thanks Mohammadkazemm (talk) 19:07, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Request on 15:51:27, 13 February 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Flashthomsom

I've recently published an article on Carmel School Madhupur which isn't published because I have not added any reliable resource but i already added the school website and other link about the school website.

Hi @Flashthomsom:,I left you a comment while rejecting: Please have a look at Wikipedia:Notability (schools), your own school web site is not a reliable source because it is self-published. You could also ask for further help at the WPTeahouse. CommanderWaterford (talk) 16:03, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

I've added the board website where it's clearly shows all the name and details about Carmel school Madhupur. Jayantamitra980 (talk) 17:45, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Dear,

I have edited my page Henk Borgdorff, following the instructions I received: CoI added and references to external sources (ORCOD-iD and Google Scholar). Do I answer the objections?

Draft:Elizabeth Mincoff-Marriage

Hi, I noticed you put the page Elizabeth Minncoff-Marriage back into draft (fair enough as it was basically a blank page!) However, I thought I'd followed the steps from Wikipedia:Translation to request a translation from its current page in German to an English version. Ie: create the page, add

in the article and submitting it. What had I done wrong? Any guidance greatly appreciated :) Richjones91 (talk) 17:38, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Richjones91, it was a blank page (which is not an article by definition) only with the tag. If you would request a translation from the german version you would need to start the article, at least creating a so called stub WP:STUB OR you can request a translation from the Wikipedia:Requested articles (see also here: WP:TRANSLATETOHERE ). Hope that helps. CommanderWaterford (talk) 17:44, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Richjones91 (talk) 17:46, 14 February 2021 (UTC) Sorry, just to double check. If I was to add some basic information into that draft page, enough to class it as a stub, and then add that tag? Richjones91 (talk) 17:52, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Richjones91, exactly, let me know as soon as you done it, please.CommanderWaterford (talk) 17:58, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Help & advices

Hello

Thanks for reviewing my article. I intend to create multiple pages of artists and will be in need of your review and help to improve my contribution conformity with Wikipedia.

You can check the new draft (Tony Jazz) I have submitted for proposal if you have time.

Thanks in advance !--Art&football (talk) 22:46, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Art&football, as a rule of thumb I do not review articles again which I previously have rejected (for neutrality reasons), I guess one of the other reviewers will have a look over it shortly, please be patient there are more than 4,000 drafts on the queue. CommanderWaterford (talk) 22:58, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Notability Template

Hi, thank you for reviewing the article "Aimee Ng." Based on your suggestions, I have since added new content to it, and wonder if the article now fulfills the wikipedia requirements.

Im not using vandalism, even used sources for both articles


why u trying to stop my work?

Hi @Dantasu:, I am not stopping your work at all nor did I marked it as vandalism, you are simply creating BLP articles without providing inline citations and are marking them in your first version directly by yourself as being "unsourced and needs sources" - I put them into Draft so you can work on your drafts calmly. Please have a look at Help:Referencing for beginners and WP:MINREF, a biography needs inline citations. CommanderWaterford (talk) 23:21, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Space industry in India

Can you move Space industry in India back to the main space? It easily meets the criteria of WP:DYK now, since it has more than 1,600 characters. Raymond3023 (talk) 04:24, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

WikiProject Musicians

Hi Commander! Regarding your recent edits to Talk:Said Senhaji and Talk:Phil Jones (musician), {{WikiProject Musicians}} is a redirect to {{WikiProject Biography}}, so you've effectively added {{WikiProject Biography}} twice to these talk pages. Both of these talk pages have now been fixed. Could you please only add {{WikiProject Biography}} with the proper parameters in the future? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 18:22, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

P.S. Adding {{WikiProject Musicians}} adds the page to Category:Biography articles without living parameter, which is what drew me to the pages. GoingBatty (talk) 18:23, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
GoingBatty, I see, did not know that, I apologise. It was showed to me as a template wrapper. Will not happen again. CommanderWaterford (talk) 18:27, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
My use of the word "redirect" wasn't correct - you're correct that it's a wrapper. However, Template:WikiProject Musicians states that the template should always be substituted. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 19:05, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

FAC: Love for Sale

Hi. Found your name on my watchlist and wanted to ask if you can comment on or review my FAC, Love for Sale (Bilal album). It has been stale for a few weeks, and there are ambiguous or reluctant takes on the sourcing in the article that could use further discussion. The criteria for featured articles is WP:FA?, if you choose to do so. Thanks. All the best. isento (talk) 11:33, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Moving preliminary page to the mainspace

Hey CommanderWaterford. I was wondering why you re-directed a page from my sandbox to the mainspace. As you could probably tell, it was quite literally in its preliminary stages, and was not even close to ready for others to tag, categorize, read, etc. The page was User/Murphanian777/Preliminary football at Notre Dame. I'm sure there was a good reason, but I was hoping you could explain your reasoning. You have my best, Murphanian777 (talk) 15:36, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Murphanian777, you accidentally published your sandbox as a mainspace article, I moved it into the mainspace assuming you wanted to have it there, let me know if I should move it back to Draftspace. CommanderWaterford (talk) 15:40, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
Ah okay, how strange. Thank you then, and yes, I would prefer it back in draftspace at this time. 15:47, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

article removed? I don't understand

Hello, I am trying to add a page about the DiSSCo research infrastructure, first it was on the list for deletion because of a "copyright infringment", ok so I completely rewrote it, in a style not in any way promoting, in my own words, with a lot of independent resources etc and it is still deleted?? I put a lot of effort in in getting all the resources. I was fan of Wikipedia but am getting very disappointing now. Can you please undelete so I can discuss in the forum how the article can be further improved if further improvements are needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Waddink (talk • contribs) 20:04, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
Waddink, your article was deleted by @Jimfbleak: because of a Copyright Infringement reported by @Sphilbrick:, you will need to ask them, also have a look at WP:COPY. CommanderWaterford (talk) 20:14, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

The copyright infringement report was for the 15 Feb version, deleted also Feb 15, after which I wrote an entire new version of the article Feb 16 (no new copyright infringement reported) but that was deleted Feb 17. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Waddink (talk • contribs) 20:19, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Waddink, your draft has been rejected by me 15 feb at 09.47am, the Copyvio was reported on your second draft at 3pm and today it was deleted by Jimfbleak and I am more than confident that there was a good reason for doing so but you will have to ask them. CommanderWaterford (talk) 20:23, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your suppprt, I have left a message for Jimfbleak. I have no clue how on earth this new draft could be a copyvio since I did not copy any text. Also I think the article gave a nice compilation of information about the subject that cannot currently be found anywhere else on the internet. Anyway, I will wait for a response from Jim because I think this is a misunderstanding. I still do not understand why you rejected it on the basis of missing independent resources though as I had included several. But that is fixable as there are plenty available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Waddink (talk • contribs) 20:38, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Short description character length

Hey I just wanted to say I appreciate you adding short descriptions, but can you please be mindful of the number of characters? Per WP:SHORTDESC, short descriptions should be around 40 characters. The description you added here, for example is 101 characters long. I took a look at your history and noticed this was a pattern. Please take note of the screenshot on WP:SHORTDESC which demonstrates how little space is given for these short descriptions in the user interface. Thank you. TarkusABtalk/contrib 20:56, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

TarkusAB, Hi Anthony, thanks for noticing. CommanderWaterford (talk) 21:00, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
@CommanderWaterford: I see that you've amended your style to be somewhat shorter, which is appreciated. But I wonder if you would also consider going back and fixing some of the longer examples you previously created, rather than just powering through to additional articles? Someone is going to have to shorten all of the multi-hundred-character "short" descriptions like [1], [2], [3] (and many, many more). Thanks. -- FeRDNYC (talk) 00:12, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
FeRDNYC, sure, I already made a query with the longest. CommanderWaterford (talk) 07:27, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Refill problems

Hallo, Thanks for working on the bare URLs of Jennifer Yu Cheng, but there were a couple of problems:

  1. Refill2 broke the URL of the first reference. Please check for error messages after you've used Refill2, as the edits are your responsibility. (I've fixed this one - it mangled the URL of https://www.ctfeducation.com/about-us/leadership-team/ into https://www.ctfeducation.comabout-us/leadership-team/, ie lost a "/" (you might like to report this to the maintainers of Refill2?)
  2. References to web sites need to have an "Access-date". I understand that there's an option in Refill2 to include this, so please select that option. It's important to know when a website was used as a reference, because sites can change over time and it may be necessary to check for that version of the site using the Internet Archive, if someone wants to follow up the sourcing of the article. Thanks. PamD 10:50, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
Ah of course, no indication of the access-date, so nothing to use... though here I've added today's date as the article was only created today. The broken URL is more of a problem. PamD 10:59, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Couple of tips

Hi CommanderW - just a couple of tips.

  • I see DGG pointing out a copyvio you missed earlier on. Do you know how to use Earwig's tool for this? If not let me know and I'll figure out which script you need to install.
  • I just came across an article you'd tagged as 'uncategorised'. There's nothing wrong with adding that tag - I mean, it was accurate - but for me it's the most useless of all the tags. It's just as quick to add a category or two and be on your way!

That's all, hope you're keeping well. GirthSummit (blether) 15:59, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Girth Summit, good to hear from you, hope you are doing well. Thanks for noticing, Earwig is in daily use, today tagged several ones, unfortunately I must have missed that one. Stay well. CommanderWaterford (talk) 16:04, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
CommanderWaterford, OK cool - I came here for the other thing, then noticed DGG's comment further up so thought I'd mention it. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 16:07, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Questions regarding more references for a film article

Hi, thanks for your comment on my submitted draft. I'm a bit new at this but I wish to improve, you mentioned that there's only one reliable source that covers the topic. I have found a couple of mainstream news/magazine websites reporting the shortfilm. But they are in another language, which is not English. Are they allowed to be cited as references? Thanks a lot! — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZeroApocalypse (talk • contribs) 10:21, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Pending change that you recently approved

Hey CommanderWaterford, you recently accepted an edit by an anonymous IP [4] on Brendan Eich. I believe the reason this page was originally protected was to prevent that exact edit [5]. --Elephanthunter (talk) 17:45, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Elephanthunter, I only saw "Pinknews" as a source with only 1 ref referring to this controversial statement and it appeared to me pretty unreliable, so to be on the safe side I let it remove it but you are right, did not see the reason for protection. Sorry. CommanderWaterford (talk) 17:50, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
Elephanthunter, PS: Discussed this with the Sysop who protected the page and another one and both agreed on me. Better sourcing is needed. For now we will leave it deleted. CommanderWaterford (talk) 18:43, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
did not process the questionableness of the source We need maybe a WP:RSN thread? I simply reverted to @Jorm:s version. As always, there should be discussion when there is uncertainty. And this feels uncertain. Sorry for the confusion. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:48, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
Deepfriedokra, I agree, seems like the best solution. CommanderWaterford (talk) 18:50, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
Ack! And @Jorm: just reverted. This has gone pear-shaped. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:53, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
Deepfriedokra, :-) Yeah, saw it also :-) Looks much better now, 2 RS. I would be fine with that. CommanderWaterford (talk) 18:55, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

My recent edit being reverted

So the only issue was lack of citation? --scheuerman2 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 20:27, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Scheuerman2, "She is, ironically, believed by a great many people to be one of the largest racists and self-haters in modern history." Yes, you will need to source such statements, of course. You might have a look at our Policy for Biographies of living persons WP:BIO. CommanderWaterford (talk) 20:31, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Just wanted to make sure that was the only issue and nothing else, thank you. I have sources I'll cite and I'll rephrase it for the sources

I also miss him. I think currently he is not from Myanmar, but may be he is a Burmese living in Thailand. Hintha is a leading editor for Myanmar project. When military junta banned Wikipedia in my country, he is in active. Now looks like he is busy. Taung Tan (talk) 17:02, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Zameen (novel)

Hi CommanderWaterford. Just to let you know that I have removed the notability tag added by you in Zameen (novel).

More things to tell about this band his 4 albums and almost 500 gigs all around Europe, Morocco and Venezuela. There is also a song on a big movie soundtrack. Please don't delete it and tell me how could I get it improved. Added a few more links (more to come) and will also add pictures. The page exists in French wikipedia but the band is more international and our community doesn't really read French this is why i began this page here.

Thanks for getting back to me, waiting for the next review then!

Hi CommanderWaterford, I would like your candid advice on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheman_Shaik. It has been tagged with Afd because of a low Google Scholar score (h-index=5) and lack of strong general notability, but I believe as a computer scientist and inventor the subject deserves an independent article. The subject has 6 patents in the computer science field with USPTO. I have removed 4 inventions that are non-patented. ThanksWisdomwiki 40 (talk) 19:20, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

WP:Teahouse#How do I change the importance of a Wikiproject?

Hello, CommanderWaterford. I hardly ever comment on the English of people who do not have it as a native language, but here I am doing it for the second time in a couple of days! I only do it when I think the person is at risk of being misunderstood because of it. Your comment next to anything mentioned before the importance of a Wikiproject Rating for a Draft does in no way speed up its review doesn't make a lot of sense as it stands: I'm guessing that "next to" is meant to say "contrary to"? "Next to" does not have that oppositional sense: here it could only mean "as well as", or "following just after". I too have been puzzled by the suggestion that putting a WikiProject on the Talk page can help to get a draft reviewed: I guess that the idea is that it brings it to the notice of the members of that WikiProject, and they might take a look at it; but it doesn't seem likely to improve things often. --ColinFine (talk) 23:12, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

ColinFine, thanks for paying attention. In my assumption he tried to speed up the process of the review itself. Anyway the draft very unlikely will pass in its current state. CommanderWaterford (talk) 23:16, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I just saw you reverted my edit. I am sorry I didn't give an explanation. I actually changed it to the way it was before, since Frisians are an ethnic minority in the northern Netherlands and northwestern Germany, check here and here. Best regards --Kneppelfreed (talk) 18:06, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

A mark of appreciation for your amazing works. I love kittens, so this.

Request on 19:56:10, 26 February 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Real Meanings


I am not trying to be funny. It is you that imagine the term "wink wink nudge nudge" is humorous. In fact it can present itself in a very offensive manner. Additionally this entry helps those researching literary terms (such as "phenomenological directedness") receive help they never otherwise get from their peers, who shut out all discussion with the use of archaic (excessively intellectualized vocabulary) to those entering the world of academia for the first time at an advanced level. It is no less than disgraceful to romanticize one way or the other about common everyday language especially when it is connected so immediately to meanings carried by unqualified (power mongering) pretendant "bearers of the torch". My description opens the door for people to learn what an everyday term is capable of meaning in higher end (generally widely inaccessible) vocabulary.

Now, if the entry I proposed makes you smile, well that is a good thing, because that means that you yourself learned something today.


Real Meanings (talk) 19:56, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Real Meanings, I see, anyway in your draft sources were missing. You will need to provide sources for your draft and afterwards you are free to resubmit it. Please have a look at WP:YFA, of help might also Help:Referencing for beginners, thanks. CommanderWaterford (talk) 20:01, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

My Draft:Laura Byrnes

Hello sir, So my draft about a friend of mine who is a racing driver has been rejected twice now. First time, they asked me to remove the citations, which I did, but now you told me it needs citations. What am I supposed to do? Thx and have a nice weekend, Alex AB43racer (talk) 20:52, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

AB43racer, your draft has been declined previously by the Reviewer Gpkp 6 days ago for the same reason I declined it today - you need to provide inline citation in a biography of a living person, please read the comment I left you on the draft: "Please have a look at Help:Referencing for beginners and WP:MINREF, a biography needs inline citations."

Suzanne P. Clark Moved to Draft Space

I recently published a page for Suzanne P. Clark, which you were the first to review - I was hoping you could help me with the page's recent move to draft space, and my account being banned. She is clearly a notable subject, and I worked hard to contribute a useful article by the Wikipedia publishing guidelines, from WP:NCORP to WP:NPOV and WP:BLP (WP:RS I might add, as well). I don't understand why the page was flagged, moved to draft space, and I was banned - there are plenty of less notable figures from the chamber who have Wikipedia pages, particularly male figures. My goal was contributing to WP:WOMEN, and this feels like blatant sexism against inclusion of a prominent American businesswoman. Can you help? 37.179.164.49 (talk) 23:35, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Looks like you have been paid for creating this article, you better discuss this with the admin who blocked you at User_talk:MER-C. CommanderWaterford (talk) 23:41, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Tagging pages for deletion

Hello, Commander,

I was just looking at an article you PROD'd and noticed that you hadn't notified the page creator of the fact you tagged a page they created. I don't know if you utilize Twinkle but I encourage you to do so. Once you set up your Twinkle Preference, the program will automatically post a notification on the talk page of the page creator for any form of deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/CFD/TFD/etc.). It makes the process very simple and so I encourage editors who are unfamiliar with it to give it a try. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 17:40, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Liz, I am using Twinkle and (although it is not mandatory) it is always pre-selected to notify the page creator, it makes sense, strange. Thanks for noticing. CommanderWaterford (talk) 17:44, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
No problem. I have probably posted a similar message on 100+ editors' talk pages. It's a common oversight if you don't have the "Notify creator" box checked. I'm probably a bit sensitive about this because the only time I was brought to WP:ANI was a few years ago for failing to notifying an editor who created a category before deleting it. So, I know how upset page creators can be when they don't know what happened to the pages they have created. Thanks again for all of your work. Liz Read! Talk! 21:11, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
(talk page watcher)FWIW, last week TWINKLE would not let me apply pending changes. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:14, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
