Irere source review

Hello. I had started a source review for the FAC on Irere (Alexander McQueen collection), and I was unaware that you had already done one. I had still posted my review as I noticed something that I wanted to point out to the nominator, but I hope that I am not stepping on your toes. Apologies for that, and I would be more than happy to remove my comments if you would like me to. I just wanted to reach out and personally apologize. I should have done a better job with checking the FAC first, and you have done a wonderful with your review! Aoba47 (talk) 00:44, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for checking in. I don't see any conflict between our comments and I always appreciate more eyes on things. Best, voorts (talk/contributions) 00:47, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for the response. I always like to check in with these kinds of things, and I always try my best to admit when I make a mistake (especially a silly one like this). Hope you have a great rest of your week! Aoba47 (talk) 00:52, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
It's flooding here in New York, so the rest of my week is staying dry. Also, if you have a chance, I'm awaiting a source review and spot check for an FAC of mine. voorts (talk/contributions) 18:48, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Voorts. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

  • Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
  • You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
  • If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
  • Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
  • Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
  • Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 13:23, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Shostakovich v. Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Shostakovich v. Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp. you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

plagiarism

I suggest you be very careful tossing that word around to allege an editor has committed fraud, especially when the evidence you cite finds "violation unlikely" across the board.[1] Editors have been taken to wikicourt for less than that. soibangla (talk) 16:39, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Copyvio revdel

Hi,

Thanks for removing the copyright violation at Active Club Network. When requesting revdel as you did here, please use the URL of the source of the copyright violation and not the URL to the copyvio tool. I am guessing you may have just copied from the URL from wrong browser tab, but I've left this message just in case you aren't familiar with filling out the revdel request.

Cheers -- Whpq (talk) 17:41, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

@Whpq Yes, that was an error. Thank you. voorts (talk/contributions) 18:26, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Whpq the copyvio detector found "violation unlikely" across the board, yet this editor accused me of fraud. a reasonable person might characterize that as a sanctionable smear. soibangla (talk) 18:13, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

The copyvio detector is a tool. It is not a pass/fail test. I reviewed the material and determined that there was copied material and close paraphrasing. I have seen no accusation of fraud on the part of person reporting this, so your accusation is unfounded and you should apologize. -- Whpq (talk) 18:19, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
Voorts said my work "has a good amount of plagiarism."[2] Plagiarism is the fraudulent representation of another person's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work.
"copied material and close paraphrasing" does not necessarily mean copyvio, as the tool indicates soibangla (talk) 18:27, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

blanking your page is certainly your prerogative

perhaps you're just very tidy by nature, and that's fine

personally, I wouldn't do it in the midst of a controversy that involves me

just sayin', proceed to revert as you please soibangla (talk) 21:24, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

2020 Venezuelan Operation Gideon

Thank you ever so much for that; sometimes, in the thick of things, it's hard to see the forest for the trees, and you cut right through the fog with an excellent suggestion! Most appreciated; if I can ever return the favor (medical editing or featured content), pls do not hesitate to ask! Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:10, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

No problem. May your low beams guide you through the fog so that you can prune the trees of this vast forest. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:30, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
