Declaration of Ukrainian State Act

The title of the article Declaration of the Ukrainian State Act is not correct and does not answer the content of the adopted act. The Ukrainian state existed in the years 1917-1920. On June 30, 1941, an act on its restoration was adopted.
Relative to File:Акт відновлення Української Держави (з автографом Ярослава Стецька).jpg. (File: Act of the Restoration of the Ukrainian State (autographed by Yaroslav Stetsko).jpg). The text of the adopted Act, published in various newspapers, differs from the original that has been preserved in the Archive.

@Ejensyd: English Wikipedia policy requires that information be attributed to reliable sources. Is there any chance can you can provide a link to one or more of the newspapers that use this name? It isn't a must that it be online, but it is nice for verification and will allow me to help you create the citation. If it's not online, we can still create a citation for it, but the citation is a must. That said, further research seems to indicate that you are correct about the current title being erroneous, as I cannot find any sourcing for it, either. The title that I'm finding is "Proclamation of Ukrainian Statehood," [1] but that's only one source. If you can get me those newspaper citations, I think a page move to "Act of Restoration of Ukranian Statehood" is in order. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 17:55, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Anna, Illinois - "Ain't no n*****s allowed"

First of all, sorry for calling your edit as "vandalism". I did not see the Failed Verification tag.

The racist phrase is in the citation. Page 1208:

Residents of Anna, Illinois, still apply the acrostic "Ain't No Niggers Allowed" to their town.

XYZt (talk) 04:40, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, for some reason that didn't show when I searched for it the first time. And no worries about the edit summary: you were stating that the page had been vandalized, not necessarily that my edit had been the culprit. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 07:52, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish Voice for Labour

Hi, I noticed that you added content to this article on behalf of an IP. The sentence "There is no stated requirement of religious practice, cultural connection, ancestry, knowledge or identifiable connection to Judaism" is not in the source. The Management & Membership section is sourced from primary soures which aren't WP:RS or is in the source. The phrase "50 Hamas operatives" is also not in the source. The sentence "JVL has strongly defended Marc Wadsworth's conduct for which he was ultimately expelled from the Labour Party" is also sourced from a primary source, however, this content is already included in the article. Based on all this, I will remove this content from the page. Regards. Tanbircdq (talk) 18:31, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.12 30 July 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. (Purge)

Hello Compassionate727, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

June backlog drive

Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

New technology, new rules
  • New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
  • Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
  • Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.
Editathons
  • Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.
The Signpost
  • The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 00:00, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing on Live & Direct (P Money album)

Please inform me on the Live & direct page on whether my adding of sources was correct or if there is a better way to do it KING 81 (talk) 22:24, 4 August 2018 (UTC) KING 81[reply]

@KING 81: Hi! Thanks for providing those sources! To answer your question, your presentation is adequate for the specific issue I was referring to (establishing notability), although there are some other problems. The major one is that our verifiability policy requires readers to be able to attach specific statements in the article to specific sources, and unsourced statements may be challenged and removed, so dumping them all at the end isn't sufficient. The way to fix this is to create inline citations at the end of each statement, containing the information of the source that supports it. Any method that contains enough information for the reader to figure out which source is which is sufficient (you likely learned a couple different methods for making inline citations in school), but most editors like to enclose the entire source in <ref></ref> and place that at the end of the statement, because it's really easy to do. That creates a little number like this,[1] and clicking on it takes the reader to corresponding entry in the source list. Once you've done that, you simply place {{reflist}} at the end of the article under your "References" header, and you have yourself a fancy, properly-formatted list of references supporting the various facts in your article.
The other (relatively minor) issue is that our verifiability policy doesn't allow bare URLs for citations, because sometimes they randomly die, and then you're hosed because you don't have any information at all. I've expanded all those references for you (it's not at all difficult to do), but it's something to keep in mind going forward. Please let me know if you need me to clarify something or have any other questions! —Compassionate727 (T·C) 21:11, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have undid your redirect on the At That Point article because it does not meet the Wikipedia criteria of speedy deletion and I do not like it how you continue to redirect the article when it NEVER deserved a redirect it deserved improvements and you feel that the article should be nominated for speedy deletion then please make an understanding discussion on the talk page because redirecting it back will cause an edit war.

Wikimedia Photo Request

Can you please upload some photos of Teairra Marí on Commons because I attempted to but I was blocked by Commons over a copyright violation even though I credited the owners so I think that it is because I am not an auto-confirmed user but anyways can you please at least upload 5 photos of Teairra Marí because she deserves more attention on here and there are no photos of her from Commons.
