Ravi Krishnan

Hi there, I could not see the notice on the page but was hoping you could tell me why it was inappropriate. Ravi Krishnan has worked in Indian sport for nearly 30 years, and should be recognised as one of the bigger names in the industry. See Peter Hutton (head of sports at Facebook) and Manoj Badale, both Krishnan’s contemporaries and former colleagues as examples. Happy to make modifications and hopefully can get the page reinstated. Thanks Rohanav (talk) 10:25, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Rohanav. The page was written in a promotional way and was a copyright violation of http://conference.massparticipationworld.com/blog/ctshowcase-team-member/ravi-krishnan/ Is this a paid contribution? Paid contributions, or other conflict of interest contributions, need to be created in draftspace and submitted through the articles for creation process. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 10:37, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. Understood. The image is actually an image that belongs to me that I had sent to Mass Participation Asia. This is not a promotional activity and it is certainly not paid, and there is no conflict of interest. I did take bits from his bio. I will attempt to address your concerns. Do you advice I submit it directly again or through the draftspace? Thanks again for taking the time to reply. Regards

Rohanav (talk) 03:46, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Rohanav. It would probably better to create it in draft. I'm happy to have a look once it's ready. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 10:11, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Another request

Hey John, can you review https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arya_Rajendran Shahoodu (talk) 18:36, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Shahoodu, I've already marked it as reviewed. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 18:51, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Ekiben Hitoritabi

Hi, you left a notice on Ekiben Hitoritabi that there were too many disambiguation pages linked, but I am not seeing any auto alerts for disambiguation pages and I linked the station pages as carefully as possible. Is the problem the pipe links when there is more than one station of that name?

Tzippurah (talk) 16:56, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Tzippurah. It was the DPL bot that added the tag not me.[1] The problem is as you though where there are more than one station with the same name. For example, there are two stations called Matsuyama Station: Matsuyama Station (Ehime) and Matsuyama Station (Fukuoka). The best way to resolve this is using Dab Solver (link). It highlights the problem links in red. If you click on the red text it will give you a list of similarly named items to choose from. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 17:31, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Help Request

Hi, i am a new wikipedia editor. One of the page i created List of the youngest mayors in India is repeatedly vandalised. i am not familiar about wiki anti-vandalism policy. Can you just have a look at it. Thank you (Ashique2020 (talk) 08:22, 27 December 2020 (UTC))

Hi Ashique2020, I've reverted to page back to the last version you edited. I would suggest you place a request for page protection at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 08:38, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Help request of moving page

Hi, can you please help us to move the page 2020–21 Amateur Division Two to 2020–21 Algerian Ligue 2. This is, it correct name (talk page). Thank you for reading me and best regards. --Fayçal.09 (talk) 12:30, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Deletion of Daniel Moore Bates

While I typed why it shouldn’t be deleted in the talk page for DMB, I’ll go over it quickly again, the only thing I copied from the non public domain source was the formatting of starting with early life then going to his career followed by his wife kids and eventual death Bigmike2346 (talk) 19:37, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Bigmike2346, please see copyvio report. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 19:48, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Give me until the end of the day and it will be fixed Bigmike2346 (talk) 19:49, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Look, is it better now Bigmike2346 (talk) 20:16, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

And how do you get to see the copyvio for the articles made? Bigmike2346 (talk) 20:16, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

@Bigmike2346: That looks fine now. I've removed the speedy delete tag, an admin will remove the {{copyvio-revdel}} tag as soon as they have changed the visibility of previous versions. A bot checks new pages for copyvios and then this is flagged on the New Pages Feed. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 20:30, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Question

Hi. Thanks for this [2]. How do I add category 1860s to the page, and is it the proper cat?Wil1andar (talk) 21:32, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Wil1andar, I see you have worked out how to add categories. I'm not sure 1860's is an appropriate category but have added some more suitable ones. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 21:44, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

I agree with you and I thank you for your assistance. As you can see in the edit history I learn...Wil1andar (talk) 21:49, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

@Wil1andar: No problem, always happy to help out. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 21:53, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Real professional, work. Kudos!Wil1andar (talk) 00:13, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Translator

There is a portion on my contributions page -translatewiki.net . Shall I apply there to become a Wikipedia page translator creating an account adding my wikipedia user name, password and email? Wikifulness (talk) 05:38, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Wikifulness. I've not come across translatewiki.net before so can't really help you. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 09:16, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Review needed

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Priya_P.V&venotify=created#References Can you review it Shahoodu (talk) 09:32, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Shahoodu. I'm not sure the page is compliant with the notability guidelines. WP:NFOOTBALL's guideance is that the person should have played in or managed in a "fully professional league" or a "Tier 1 International Match". Unfortunately, the Indian Women's League is listed as a "fully professional league" at WP:FPL and U14 team are not Tier 1. I would suggest you expand the article and make the focus her being the first woman coach from Kerala to hold the AFC A-licence. With suitable references that may then pass the notability of WP:GNG. (Notability is extremly complex!) Regards. --John B123 (talk) 10:00, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

John, She coached a professional team in the top divison womens league of India. I hope that makes her notable Shahoodu (talk) 10:25, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

​ The trouble is the Indian Women's League isn't considered a qualifying league. WP:FPL possibly needs to be updated as the only women's leagues that are included are from England, Japan, Spain and the US, but that is something that would have to be taken up at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 10:46, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

See this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Football/Women%27s_football_task_force/Leagues#Active_top-division_leagues_and_national_championships I think Indian Womens league is also a part of it Shahoodu (talk) 12:29, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

​ That's a list of active leagues, Indian Women's League is listed at WP:NOTFPL as not being fully professional. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 12:37, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Ok Understood it. So should I make the article mainly pointing on first AFC license women holder from kerala,so you can review it Shahoodu (talk) 12:40, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

​ That would probably be the best way forward. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 13:10, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

https://scroll.in/field/827563/aiff-launches-india-s-first-professional-football-league-for-women John, sources say, this is the first professioanl womens league in India. So can you update the list based on this Shahoodu (talk) 13:33, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

​ As I said before, the contents of the lists need to be taken up at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 13:46, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Ok John. Thankyou Shahoodu (talk) 13:49, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Priya_P.V&venotify=created#Coaching_career Hope its ready. Can you tell me any changes required if needed? Shahoodu (talk) 16:21, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Shahoodu That looks better. Regards --John B123 (talk) 16:35, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Article

What did you think of my Jose Borregales article? Can it be nominated for anything? Regards. -AirCrow (talk) 06:17, 29 December 2020 (EST)

Hi AirCrow, the article looks fine. Not sure what it could be nominated for? Regards --John B123 (talk) 08:14, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Like a good article or something or a did you know. AirCrow (talk) 18:37, 30 December 2020 (UTC)AirCrow

Hi AirCrow, the article would need to be developed further to be suitable for a GA assessment - see Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Assessment (it's probably a C class at the moment). What fact from the article would you think would be suitable for DYK? Regards --John B123 (talk) 18:47, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

I think the Jose Borregales article should be on did you know on the main page. It could be Did you know Jose Borregales was born in Venezuela?" AirCrow (talk) 00:07, 31 December 2020 (UTC)AirCrow

New article

Hi Shahoodu, it needs to be added to some categories but otherwise looks ok. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 12:11, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

John, I have added category. I hope its ready for review Shahoodu (talk) 12:30, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Shahoodu, marked as reviewed. Regards --John B123 (talk) 13:33, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello John B123 Sir, Kindly review the subject. Kind regards RV (talk) 13:59, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi RV, all done. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 14:21, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Valerio Matanò

Hello, John B123. I saw that you were responding to a speedy delete article about Valerio Matanò on WP:CSD G11. I cleaned the article of advertising content and insignificant facts. I really want to ask you to remove the speedy delete template or replace it with the advert template. Thank you in advance. Emilia Buonarroti (talk) 14:40, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Emilia Buonarroti, it still reads as a promotional piece to me. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 14:47, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the answer John B123. Help me how to make the article look non-advertising, please. I would be very grateful. Regards. Emilia Buonarroti (talk) 14:51, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Emilia Buonarroti, I don't really have the time to do that, but I could move it to draft where you can work on it until it's ready. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 14:57, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

John B123, I made new edits to the article. Maybe you have the option to change to the template {{advert}}, since the person has significance. Regards. Emilia Buonarroti (talk) 15:08, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

​ Apart from the fact he was born in Milan, the article is a list of his achievements. Compare that with the way say Andrea Rossi (entrepreneur) is written. It contains far more of his life than just his successes. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 15:26, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I read the article about Andrea Rossi. Thank you, John B123. I added information to Matano's biography. See if everything is correct, please. Regards. Emilia Buonarroti (talk) 17:45, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

​ That's looking a lot better. As you have already mentioned the inventions/patents, I don't see the need to list them all in "Patents and inventions". Regards --John B123 (talk) 18:17, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much John B123. I finished the article. I really hope that now you can remove the template. Regards. Emilia Buonarroti (talk) 19:17, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

​ That's fine now, I've removed the template. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 19:22, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much, dear John B123! Have a nice evening! Regards. Emilia Buonarroti (talk) 19:25, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Help with merge

Would you help me to merge Battle of Baiji (2014) to Battle of Baiji (2014–2015)? I tried making a merge request but it’s largely ignored due to the obscurity of the article, i want to know if you would help so i would merge the information before i tell you to delete the first article. Ridax2020 (talk) 17:40, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ridax2020. I can but am a bit busy at the moment. I'll try and get it done in the next couple of days. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 18:20, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

I just wanted to know if i have the green light, so i’m gonna start merging the article. Thanks Ridax2020 (talk) 18:54, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ridax2020, I don't see any problem with that as there have been no objections since you posted the suggestion on the 16th. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 18:57, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

The merge is completely done. Delete Battle of Baiji (2014) whenever possible Ridax2020 (talk) 13:52, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ridax2020. I've redirected Battle of Baiji (2014) to Battle of Baiji (2014–2015) to preserve the page history. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 14:08, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Tauperlitz

What? This is a translation, still being worked on, from the german wiki.

To put it into my draftspace just because it hasn't got references on, less than 2 hours after it was created is a little ridiculous.

Instead, maybe you should have just tagged it. Chaosdruid (talk) 21:25, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

@Chaosdruid: There are many unreferenced stubs created every day which never progress any further. Most editors who intend to work further on new articles tag them with {{in creation}}, {{under construction}} or {{in use}} so others can see that this is just the start of the article rather than what the creator thinks is an acceptable article. --John B123 (talk) 21:40, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Grammar Pedantry Syndrome

John B123 Sir, Kindly review this subject. Happy new year 2021 ! Thanks and regards RV (talk) 06:37, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

John B123 Sir, Just to update, the subject is moved to the Draft place, and I agree with the user's advice (DGG). Hence ignore the topic. Thanks RV (talk) 07:39, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

A doubt

Since one article I created was first moved into draftspace by you, I have a doubt...What is the difference betweem red link and draft? I actually didnt understood from the essay Kashmorwiki (talk) 12:35, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Kashmorwiki, a redlink is a link to an article that doesn't exist, for example No article here. A draft is an article in draftspace that is not ready for publication. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 12:44, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

So if I create an article via red link method, anykne can review it other than the crrator? Is it like that? Kashmorwiki (talk) 12:46, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

​ That's right. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 12:48, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Pedantry

John B123 Sir, Hi! Kindly see if the page is okay. Kind regards RV (talk) 13:03, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi RV. At the moment Pedantry redirects to Pedant which links to the entry on Wikionary. I think you'd need to expand the article further to justify replacing the Wikionary link. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 14:32, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Should I submit it[[3]] for a review, Will it help. Kindly confirm. ThanksRV (talk) 14:54, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

​ You can submit it for review but I'm not sure how that will help. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 14:58, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Sir, I was asking. Regards RV (talk) 15:02, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Aashid

@JohnB123 I received your notice regarding deletion of the page and have read all the notability policies of Wikipedia and have recreated the article.I asked the permission of an user named @Chetsford The subject that I have written is about an South Indian who became one of the youngest published author in India.Hopefully you would get a glance at it and change your mind.

Grover no 1 (Talk)

Hi Grover no 1. In my opinion the article doesn't meet the notability requirements. I don't see anything on Chetsford's talk page about permission, but do note he advised you to submit the article to WP:AfC when you informed him you had recreated the article. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 10:14, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
