LuK3, then please make a new table counter for senior snooker tournament wins, I do not see how a player after retiring can still add titles to their professional non-ranking wins, while those tournaments are participated by amateurs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.166.127.90 (talk) 14:02, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I do not know much about snooker. However, if you want to discuss a new table, I would suggest taking it to the talk page and request it to be created for you. -- LuK3 (Talk) 15:32, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've checked the talk page for Jimmy White, everything seems to be from years ago so I figured nobody would see what I write on the talk page, so I wanted to get the attention of those who cares by editing the main page, maybe they could make sense of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.166.127.90 (talk) 01:24, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the Ben Shapiro bit because it was irrelevant to the paragraph about the book's impact on the LGBT community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8805:4000:1506:29D0:F669:C312:BF11 (talk) 03:06, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing the edit of 103.134.43.219. This user is adding slang words and hateful comments on Maria Nur Rowshon's page. Is there any way to stop him/her to edit this page? --Nahid Hossain (talk) 15:31, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your note. If they continue to vandalize the article, you can report the IP to WP:AIV so an admin can block them. Thanks! -- LuK3 (Talk) 16:09, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019

Hello LuK3,

Backlog

Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Coordinator

A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.

This month's refresher course

Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.

Deletion tags

Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.

Paid editing

Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
  • Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
  • Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.
Not English
  • A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.
Tools

Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings.

Stop icon

Your recent contributions at User talk:86.132.105.99 appear to show that you are engaged in edit warring; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not override another editor's contributions. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
The user is allowed to remove the warnings, see WP:BLANKING. You should not keep reverting his blanking, see WP:Don't restore removed comments. David Biddulph (talk) 15:46, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

David Biddulph, I appreciate the warning. It was my assumption that, according to WP:3RRNO, talk page and warning blanking by a blocked IP would constitute obvious vandalism. -- LuK3 (Talk) 16:07, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, somehow I accidentally undid you on this page. Ignore the change notification please. Meters (talk) 17:57, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, appreciate the note Meters! I saw the notification and was just about to shoot you a message. Thanks! -- LuK3 (Talk) 18:00, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have not been on in a while, and I forgot the screen update lag issue I have. A real pain when I click on something and the action is actually for what displays there after the screen updates. Meters (talk) 18:04, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that you placed a protected icon on the page but I don't see where anyone actually protected it. Is it semi-protected? Dharmalion76 (talk) 20:20, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dharmalion76, I'm looking at the logs for the page and it looks like pending changes was applied on February 24, 2019. -- LuK3 (Talk) 20:24, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm pretty sure that expired 24 April 2019. Was it extended? Dharmalion76 (talk) 20:28, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Dharmalion76: From what I gather from the protection log, I believe auto-accept is still in effect for autoconfirmed so any editor below still needs their edits approved. -- LuK3 (Talk) 20:34, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for explaining that for me. I'm still learning some of this stuff. :) Dharmalion76 (talk) 20:35, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome, please let me know if I can help with anything else! -- LuK3 (Talk) 20:36, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Marc Morano wiki page

You have allowed multiple leftwing talking points, unsupported by facts to remain on the Marc Morano page; despite your claim that Wiki tries to keep information on its pages neutral. Allowing statements such as "climate denier" and "pseudoscience" in describing Mr. Morano and his positions to remain on the page clearly demonstrates Wiki's leftwing bias. You're supposed to be providing an encyclopedia-like format; not one for leftwing activists to insert their opinions as is clearly being done on the Marc Morano page. And I have no affiliation with Mr. Morano whatsoever.

As an example and from the page:

Marc Morano (born 1968)[1] is a former Republican political aide who founded and runs the website ClimateDepot.com, which presents pseudoscientific views on climate change.[2][3] ClimateDepot is a project of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), a Washington, D.C. non-profit that promotes climate change denial.[4][5]

If you truly adhered to an encyclopedia format, then all that should be allowed in that sentence is:

Marc Morano (born 1968)[1] is a former Republican political aide who founded and runs the website ClimateDepot.com.

But due to your obvious leftwing bias, you have allowed statements such as "which presents pseudoscientific views on climate change." and "non-profit that promotes climate change denial." to remain.

Those statements are opinions; they are not facts. Why not allow facts such as THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS HUMAN-CAUSED CLIMATE CHANGE to be posted? I'll tell you why...because Wiki is run by a bunch of leftwing lunatics who pretend to be neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JustTheFactsAndNothingButTheFacts (talkcontribs) 23:50, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@JustTheFactsAndNothingButTheFacts: I suggest taking this issue to the article talk page and discuss your proposed changes. I also suggest maintaining civility and stop with the personal attacks. -- LuK3 (Talk) 23:59, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jehielwilliams7000, I reverted your addition because you didn't have the appropriate reliable sources to attribute the information to. I suggest reading our page on inline citations to help you in adding a citation. If you need any more help please let me know! -- LuK3 (Talk) 21:43, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Karl Pilkington Birthdate

Hi, why are you reverting edits providing Karl Pilkington’d birthdate? ArthurWithCommonSense (talk) 22:54, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@ArthurWithCommonSense: IMDB is not considered a reliable source, according to Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites#IMDb. In addition it looks like you are evading a block. -- LuK3 (Talk) 22:59, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Luk3: Hi, Luk. First off, I haven’t got a clue of what you’re talking about. I am not evading any blocks. Secondly, if you skip to the 1:20 mark on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjvWVYlhH8k, you will see that Karl himself claims to share a birthdate with Bruce Springsteen (who was born on the 23 of September). Now, I’m not an expert, but I believe Karl would know when his own date of birth is. What do you think?

Welcoming new users

Hi. You are doing a great job reverting vandalism, but you sometimes miss some. Before welcoming new users, please consider taking a few moments to investigate if they are truly deserving of a welcome. 1 edit is not enough for a welcome, and vandals should be reported rather than thanking them for their edits. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:01, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kudpung, hope all is well. Thank you for the note. It is a force a habit to throw a welcome up on their talk page but I will be more diligent moving forward. Thank you again! -- LuK3 (Talk) 11:58, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A beer for you!

Many thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page. Denisarona (talk) 12:47, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What the Health page has been vandalised and you are allowing it

Please stop undoing my constructive edits. I am trying to restore the page. It has clearly been edited as someone labelled the film as an "agenda" and is citing only criticism against the film instead of the multiple doctors who praise the film and the hundreds of scientific journals backing it.

(edit conflict) Your edits here and here violates Wikipedia's policy on adhering to a neutral point of view and original research. In addition, you accused me of an "anti-vegan agenda", according to your edit summary. That is why your edits were reverted and warned. -- LuK3 (Talk) 02:45, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm CASSIOPEIA. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to UFC 243— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 02:43, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CASSIOPEIA, looks like you warned the wrong editor. My only edit on that article was a vandalism revert. -- LuK3 (Talk) 02:47, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi LuK3, I am so sorry. The message above was not for you but for other editor. Somehow, either I click the wrong line or Huggle did pick up the line I placed (it happened a number of times before). Either way, mistakes is all mine. My apologies again. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 04:47, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What the Health page has been vandalised and you are allowing it

I didn't accuse you of an anti-vegan agenda, obviously - I was referring to the person who made the original edits. That should be obvious. LOOK at the What the Health page, someone has made a total disgrace of it and you are allowing it by reversing my edits - if Wikipedia's rules call for neutrality, then claiming that What the Health promotes a "vegan agenda" and going on about how it has only been criticized without offer the alternative viewpoints where many physicians praised the film and responded to criticism, that to me is not neutral, that is unabashedly anti-vegan, which again you are allowing.

Please respond to this, and either restore the page to its ORIGINAL state, or I will request a 3rd party.

This is the vandalized state you are allowing:

"What the Health is a 2017 film promoting a vegan agenda.[1]

The documentary has been criticized by a number of medical doctors,[2][3] dietitians,[4][5][6] and investigative journalists[7][8] for what they describe as confusing causation with correlation, cherry picking science studies, using biased sources, distorting study findings, and using "weak-to-non-existent data"." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.57.138.108 (talk) 03:02, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After looking through the page history, I have re-added the previous neutral lede. However, if you do re-add your own views, it will get reverted. Thank you. -- LuK3 (Talk) 03:08, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
