Unfortunately I had to remove most of the content about the biodiversity park as it was copied and pasted from a newspaper. Please do not copy and paste in the future, it's not acceptable on Wikipedia.

Cheers. --John B123 (talk) 17:46, 28 February 2019 (UTC) Typical wikipedia, some "editors" are only interested in deleting everything. Keep up the good work.

Seven layers of fun because you deserve it. To give a Dobos torte and spread the WikiLove, just place {{subst:Dobos Torte}} on someone else's talkpage, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 23:25, 25 May 2019 (UTC) @User:7&6=thirteen - Thanks, most kind of you. --John B123 (talk) 06:47, 26 May 2019 (UTC) An iced tea for you Thank you for your advice on those edits; hope you don't find it bad as I added back article title in en translation to a ref; thought more readers will understand it better. (; Wish a toast with you, some iced milk tea very popular over here. Omotecho (talk) 13:49, 11 January 2020 (UTC) @Omotecho:. Thanks, that's kind of you. --John B123 (talk) 14:28, 11 January 2020 (UTC) A cookie for you! Good evening sir, i noticed your help on Nicolas Dalayracs article and thank you for the fixes made there, i would fix them too, but converting everything to meet with the templates and its parameter here needs a heck of knowledge though! Have a nice sunday evening, greetings from Germany. Abani79 (talk) 18:52, 12 January 2020 (UTC) @Abani79: Thanks. Sorting it out did cause a bit of head scratching!

I kindly request for review and leave a feedback for further improvements. They are Avik Bhattacharya and Josiane Zerubia. Thank you. @Amkgp: Hi, thanks for the brownie. I've had a look at the other two articles and they both look fine. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 17:40, 1 June 2020 (UTC) Thank you ~ Amkgp ✉ 17:42, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Ki Chung Kim Philosopher

Dear John B123,Dear John B1 Please do not delete the Ki Chung Kim Philosopher page. The citation you found in word press is my word press blog. I have shut down the Blog. Please put up my article! Thanks,Cdblachford (talk) 01:10, 29 June 2020 (UTC) Charles D. Blachford

@Cdblachford: The problem was that the text in the article was copied from the August 1976 edition of Black Belt (magazine). --John B123 (talk) 15:42, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Dear JOhn B123, I wrote the Black Belt article in 1976. You are right - they would have copyrights. I will re-write Ki Chung Kim's philosophy and re-submit. Cdblachford (talk)Cdblachford (talk) 19:15, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

@Cdblachford: Re-writing in your own words is fine. I would suggest you start the article at Draft:Ki Chung Kim and then when it's ready it can be moved to mainspace. I'm happy to have a look at it when you feel it is ready. Regards --John B123 (talk) 19:54, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

John B123

Thank you for your help. The article looks a little better "to me." I started the article as "draft ki chung kim." I will continue to improve it. Next step is citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cdblachford (talk • contribs) 16:00, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Martín Insaurralde

Hi, thanks very much for patrolling and rating Martín Insaurralde! Your work is greatly appreciated by all of us

Could you let me know what you think makes the article C-class rather than B-class? Any pointers to work on would be awesome!

Cheers, Naypta ☺ | ✉ talk page | 19:02, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

@Naypta: Hi. Martín Insaurralde is probably one of the better translations I have seen, well done! Although adding a class isn't an essential part of the new page curation, I like to do it at that time. Generally new articles will be start, stub or C class. Assessing as stub, start or C class articles can be done almost "at a glance", but assessing as B requires more depth. As there are so few new articles that are B class, I have to confess I don't usually carry out the assessment for B class.

I've checked the article against the B class criteria for biographies [1] and reassessed as B class.

On a side note, although you have correctly given attribution in the edit summary, it's recomended that attributation to the original article article is also given on the talk page using {{Translated page}}. Regards --John B123 (talk) 19:49, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

RE: Translating

Hi! Thank for your message, but you are wrong. I haven't translated it from the Spanish Wikipedia, I have used principally "África Pratt, entre el destape y su "rollo" con Jon Finc" [2], and I cited it. Greetings. Tajotep (talk) 19:17, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

@Tajotep: Hi. Apologies, my mistake. We have had so many new pages translated from Spanish lately without attribution that I didn't look closely enough in this case. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 19:27, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Oh, don't worry. I appreciate your labor. Thanks :) Tajotep (talk) 19:31, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Boipariguda

Hello,

I have just added an article on Boipariguda after some research. I see some blocks in the article mentioning the Boipariguda article doesn't have any link to any other article in the wiki. I have added all the possible article links available. what else you are looking for?

Also, you are looking for news links- please note that the place I have added is a pretty remote place there are not many materials for it. I have added the govt resources available.

Please let me know if this is OK! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Checkright (talk • contribs) 16:18, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

@Checkright: Hi. The article need more references - news or websites that mention the district. A google search does show results for Boipariguda. Regards --John B123 (talk) 16:26, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

@John B123:I have added all the resources that are available. It is unfair to say that the article doesn't link to any existing Wikipedia article which it does with existing articles. And of course, I will add any resources that will be available. As I said above there are not many credible references available. The current credible material is from govt agencies which I have linked already!

Google search refers to sites that are mostly spam(example - census2011 website which is currently blacklisted!) there are many govt sites that come up as results but I have linked to the most relevant one.

@Checkright: Hi. Whilst some may be from spam sites, there are others that are not, for example the Times of India. --John B123 (talk) 16:41, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

@John B123: Sure. Times India is not a spam website. Did you go inside the search results to check what it says?- Nothing about Boipariguda, There are random articles about the place which for a fact doesn't relate to Boipariguda. Times of India is a news website that will come up for every search term because how they have set up their SEO. Let's encourage people to write new pages. There is a lot of scope to add new pages that don't exist for India!

I live just live 50km from Boipariguda. Let's have content which is a fact rather than material based on the news which mostly is not fact!

@Checkright: The article needs more references for verification, if you can't provide that then the article could well be deleted. --John B123 (talk) 16:52, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

@John B123: while I appreciate that you keep an eye on the articles created. You are defeating the purpose of Wikipedia(WP:5P2)! There are sources added from the Govt of India websites. If you are particularly looking for a new website, this article will no longer be neutral. I am feeling like WP:5P4 is not being followed in this case.

@Checkright: I feel I have replied to your questions with respect and civility and tried to be as helpful as I can. I find your accusations that I have violated WP:5P4 insulting and uncalled for. I suggest you involve an administrator if you think my requests that the article comply with WP:VERIFY are unreasonable. --John B123 (talk) 17:08, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

@John B123: You are doing a great job but I have put forward my points as to why I can't add additional resources. Even then the request to add external resources doesn't justify the article. My apologies if you think I have insulted in any manner to you, my intention is not to do that. We are all here to share information. I see there are many places that are not covered in India for which we will struggle to get credible information. My reference to WP:5P4 is for - 'Act in good faith, and assume good faith on the part of others'. Have a good rest of the day.

(talk page watcher) Checkright, I think what you're asking about is the Orphan tag on the article. That tag means that no other Wikipedia articles link to the article. It has nothing to do with how many wikilinks are in the article. Schazjmd (talk) 17:24, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

@Schazjmd: Thank you. I am sure there will be a lot of link to this article as this place has 260 villages under it!

Review request

Hi, John B123 Could you review/patrol Bharat Biotech. Also, I have added categories to stub Virendra Kumar Tewari as suggested by you last time. Thank you ~ Amkgp 💬 18:58, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

@Amkgp: Hi. Thanks for your contributions. Both marked as reviewed. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 19:05, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm Spicy. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Bharat Biotech, and have marked it as unpatrolled. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you.

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Spicy (talk) 20:25, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

John B123 can you re-review/patrol Bharat Biotech. I find that the reviewer is indeed new. If the reviewer overlooks New York Times, BBC world, WHO, The Hindu etc and top peer-reviewed journals like Lancet and others plus verified US patents, and then tags 'self-published' then I can't help and I do not find it useful to comment on the review of an experienced editor without any convincing rationale. ~ Amkgp 💬 00:24, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

For your information Bharat Biotech is a leading vaccine producer in the world. I created the page as a part of Wikipedia:WikiProject COVID-19. They are currently in the first stage of Human trial of proposed vaccine COVID-19, permission granted by Government of India. I do not find what is the problem if we approach a reviewer. See User_talk:Amkgp#Note. Everything is supported by reference and many more are available. Thank you. ~ Amkgp 💬 04:36, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

As you're aware, since I explained this on your talk page, my issue is not with the notability of the article but the inclusion of blatant promotional language sourced to the company's own website. Spicy (talk) 09:21, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

@Amkgp: - You cannot simply remove tags because you disagree with them, especially whilst discussions are taking place.

@Spicy: - We seem to have been working on the article at the same time, and towards the same goal. I'm happy that the issues have been resolved now, do you concur? Regards --John B123 (talk) 16:37, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

I think the major issues have been addressed, so I'm comfortable with you re-marking the page as reviewed. Thank you for taking another look at it. Spicy (talk) 16:38, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

@Spicy and John B123: Thank you everyone for your critical analysis and contributions ~ Amkgp 💬 16:59, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Review

Can you please review last page which I created? It is notable book. Krishna's flute (talk) 11:42, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

@Krishna's flute: I assume this is Muhammad Bin Tughlaq: Tale of a Tyrant. The article would benefit from a plot section and "Urmi Chanda-Vaz, writing for scroll.in, noted that book is "gory story" and considered it as "formulaic and shallow" failed verification - I think you have given the wrong ref here. Regards --John B123 (talk) 15:46, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

thanks for bringing attention. I gave reference. I will try to add plot section. Krishna's flute (talk) 07:10, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Deletion of page Renato Feder

Hello,

the page Renato Feder was translated from the Wikipedia in Portuguese, but the Portuguese version itself will soon be deleted, as it has been suggested "elimination by consensus" and the majority of the users participating in the discussion want the page to be deleted. Thus, I think that the English version of this page should also be eliminated.
