hello

why did you change my sex worker edit did ı do wrong? Volkan1881 (talk) 14:54, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

You restored an old version of the article from April 2020, wiping out over two years of edits with zero explanation. DanCherek (talk) 14:58, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

then teach me the rules Volkan1881 (talk) 15:01, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

You need to stop restoring years-old versions of this article without explaining your edits. Each of your edits has been contested, so you need to open a discussion at Talk:Sex worker and seek consensus for your large-scale changes first. DanCherek (talk) 15:04, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

ok now you say do i need to report in talk page? Volkan1881 (talk) 15:06, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Start a new discussion, explain the changes that you want to make and why you want to make them, and then wait to see if anyone else wishes to comment. DanCherek (talk) 15:08, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Question from Nourah.Alkhaldi79 (22:23, 2 August 2022)

Hello! Dan Cherek Exactly, I want to learn the correct way to upload audio files and images and the correct way to work within the wiki community. --Nourah.Alkhaldi79 (talk) 22:23, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Nourah.Alkhaldi79, welcome to Wikipedia! Audio and images are always appreciated, especially if the article lacks them. One important thing to keep in mind that most images or other files on Wikipedia need to be either in the public domain or released by the copyright holder under a compatibly free license, and that this would mean that anyone will be able to use and modify the image (with attribution), even commercially. If you are the copyright holder of an image or file and you're okay with that, please see Help:Files for a more detailed guide on uploading and using image files (most likely the image will be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and then it can be used here).

In other cases, if the image you wish to upload is not under a free license, but meets all of Wikipedia's fair use criteria, then it can be uploaded directly to the English Wikipedia (not Wikimedia Commons) with a fair use rationale. This can apply to things like book or album covers, movie posters, etc. But, please note that you will only be able to locally upload a non-free file on your own after you are autoconfirmed, which happens after you've been registered for four days and have made at least 10 edits.

Hope this helps, and I'm also going to post a message on your talk page with some additional links about Wikipedia that you may find useful! DanCherek (talk) 22:29, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Question from Emstuandsoforth (10:39, 3 August 2022)

I want my page to be called ANDSOFORTH how do I change that? --Emstuandsoforth (talk) 10:39, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Emstuandsoforth and welcome to Wikipedia. There are a couple concerns here:

1. You appear to be writing about your own company. That is an example of a conflict of interest (COI) editing and you will need to provide a required disclosure about your connection to the company before proceeding further. There's already a message on your talk page detailing how to do that and the community expectations that come with a COI.
2. Your username seems to imply shared use of the account ("Em Stu AndSoForth"). Wikipedia's username policy disallows usernames that imply shared access, because usernames should not be shared between more than one individual. I would suggest visiting Special:GlobalRenameRequest to request a new username that avoids this issue.

Though the two concerns above take precedence, I will briefly point out that in accordance with the naming conventions for article titles, we usually don't put titles in all-caps for stylization. So if your draft was an article, it would probably be titled "Andsoforth" or "AndSoForth". DanCherek (talk) 11:48, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Feedback requested

Hi Dan! A couple days ago, I started working on CopyPatrol after becoming aware of it through your RfA (which I am glad to see is going swimmingly), and I wanted to ask for your feedback on this case which I handled. I removed the copyright-violating text and instructed the editor that material must be presented in one's own words; the copyvio has since been revdel'd by an admin. The editor presented a re-phrased version of the material in question: the abstract of the journal which is the subject of the article. While I personally was satisfied with the re-wording, part of me is wondering if it still falls afoul of close paraphrasing due to the structural similarity between the article section as it currently stands, and the abstract. Do you think anything more needs to be done? Dylan620 (he/him · talk · edits) 14:13, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your help, Dylan620! I agree with you, the rewritten text is still a little similar to the source. In addition, there was some awkward wording ("Of particular interest are investigations that investigate") and some sentences that didn't actually really mean anything when you read them more closely. Based on that, I rewrote it some more and trimmed a bit; let me know what you think. The editor's username also suggests that they have a significant conflict of interest with respect to the journal, so I've left a note on their talk page about that. DanCherek (talk) 16:26, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

That makes perfect sense to me, and your rewrite is a considerable improvement. Thank you so much! Dylan620 (he/him · talk · edits) 17:08, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022

New Page Review queue August 2022

Hello DanCherek,

Backlog status

After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.

Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Coordination

MB and Novem Linguae have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. MPGuy2824 will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.

Open letter to the WMF

The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.

TIP - Reviewing by subject

Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.

New reviewers

The NPP School is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here.

Reminders

• Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
• If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.
• If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
• To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Saturn-Shuttle

I added the "Performance" paragraph to the "Saturn-Shuttle" page after seeing this in the same description on nasa.fandom.com. I simply wanted to update the wikipedia entry. Bigmanhelperhouseman (talk) 22:16, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Bigmanhelperhouseman! It would be great if you could add one or more reliable sources that support the statements about the Saturn-Shuttle's performance. This might be something like a newspaper article, a scholarly publication or book chapter, etc. Unfortunately, because the nasa.fandom.com is also a wiki and anyone can write whatever they want there, we can't really consider it a reliable source of information. Thanks, DanCherek (talk) 22:26, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Congrats

Hey - I'm jumping the gun a bit here, but I don't think I'm going to jinx anything. Congratulations on what has been the least controversial RfA I can remember witnessing. Enjoy the new buttons :) Girth Summit _(blether) 08:03, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

+1 from me. If you're as conscientious about mop stuff as you are about copyvio tagging, you're going to be a great admin. Nthep (talk) 09:52, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Three minutes! That's impressive. :P firefly ( t · c ) 10:46, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks all! Tamzin, I like that the kinehore image has become the one you see when you hover over the RfA with navigation popups, like it's being cast over everything. Maybe we should propose standardizing that for every RfA at the next round of reforms? DanCherek (talk) 13:16, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

It seems unlikely more than seventy opposes will be made in the next three hours. You handled this RfA well. Welcome to the jungle, and congratulations for the community recognizing your trustworthiness. BusterD (talk) 16:11, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Question from CheyenneDeBolt (16:10, 9 August 2022)

Hello, I am finishing up with a draft I am creating and I would like to change the name of the draft. Is that something that I can do? --CheyenneDeBolt (talk) 16:10, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi CheyenneDeBolt! I assume this is about Draft:Shelem. Are you trying to change the name of the draft but keep it in draftspace? DanCherek (talk) 16:15, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

I've actually submitted it. Since there is another Shelem page, I would like to be able to specify that this this page is about Shelem (rapper) vs. Shelem (card game). CheyenneDeBolt (talk) 16:17, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Cool, that makes sense. This is called "moving" a page and you can do it by following the steps at Help:How to move a page and adding (rapper) to the end of the text field. Try it out and let me know if you run into any issues! DanCherek (talk) 16:20, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you! CheyenneDeBolt (talk) 16:34, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Question from CheyenneDeBolt (17:41, 9 August 2022)

Hello, could you help me understand why my sources on the Shelem page don't meet reliability requirements? Most are news articles or links to his music repertoire. He is the subject of all the articles used. Would you mind looking over page for Shelem and help me understand how to improve? --CheyenneDeBolt (talk) 17:41, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Of the 14 unique citations in that draft, 3 of them gave me a "Sorry, the page you're looking for cannot be found" message so I was unable to evaluate those. 7 are just links to his music (like Apple Music), and those don't contribute to the case for notability at all because the sources aren't independent and they don't contain significant coverage of Shelem. Of the remaining citations, the NPR one is better, but the TED talk video, his TEDx bio, and the local news interview again don't really constitute significant coverage in reliable and independent sources.

• Congratulations, Dan! Great to have you on board with tools at your disposal. My only advice is to NEVER be reluctant to ask another admin for their opinion on decisions you are uncertain about. I became an admin in 2015 and there are admins I still go to on subjects I'm less well-versed on, like templates and files. Whatever the area of admining, there are probably half a dozen admins who work on that area on a regular basis and it's often best to run a situation by them, mention how you plan on handling the situation and ask them what they think. In general, I think I'm a cautious admin but it never hurts to ask the pros for advice. It's how you learn and become a better admin. Good luck! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:36, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

  Thank you for the advice, Liz! I definitely agree that it's better to start slow and learn as I go. Hope to see you around! DanCherek (talk) 23:49, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to admin-corps

I was the first one to comment on your RfA, and I thought it would be nice to be the last supporter. But I was 20 minutes late. Anyways, welcome to the admin-corps.

If you have any questions or doubts, please feel to ask me, or any admins. Most of the admins are very co-operative, and helpful, not all of them though. The only thing currently confuses me is hist-merge. See you around :-) —usernamekiran (talk) 19:02, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

A baton for you!

A baton for you!

Congratulations on a successful RfA. Between you, Firefly, and myself, now all three records tracked at RFX200 and RFX300—highest unopposed, unanimous, and raw support—are held by 2022 RfAs, which is quite something given that there have only been 5 successful RfAs this year! Stats geekery aside, I know you'll be an amazing admin. I'm sure you'll have access to counsel from admins much more experienced than me, but do know that I'm around. :) As you take my place as the juniormost admin, I thought I'd recognize that in some way by passing this baton on to you. Maybe when the next successful RfA occurs (which may be sometime soon, but  Kinehore), you can pass it along. (The image for this isn't ideal, but as far as stylized running-baton images go, it was this or some naked dudes.) Mazel tov, new administrator. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 19:41, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! You're right – I had seen the stats pages but hadn't made the connection that all three of those were from this year. Makes me wonder where that trend is going in the future. And I like the stamp very much DanCherek (talk) 20:00, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

3 RFA records broken in this year... Thingofme (talk) 02:05, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

*Grumbles that Tamzin has overlooked that Sdrqaz's RfA was the only successful one this year without a question on recall, which is the most important metric of all – maybe because it was Just Right?*

I'm pleased to see that you've begun your adminship with a revision deletion – I hear that it is the most auspicious way to start it all off. All in all, congratulations! Even if it does come ten months later than I'd like and I didn't get to ask a question about large-scale revision deletion ... All the best on this new journey, Sdrqaz (talk) 02:59, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

@Sdrqaz: I believe you have the record for least-opposed RfA for someone who doesn't take binary pronouns. (Trivia, not social commentary! I don't think (almost) anyone opposes on pronouns; the correlation is either coincidence or an indirect causation.) I think you might also have the username with the highest Scrabble score per character for any RfA candidate... at the very least you're in the bottom sixth for voweliness. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 04:16, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Hmm, should we create Category:Wikipedia administrators who may or may not be open to recall? Thanks for the well wishes! DanCherek (talk) 11:58, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

No, because it would fail WP:USERCAT for utterly lacking collaborative function and being a joke/nonsense category. But I'm pretty sure you knew that and were joking, in which case carry on ... * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 02:52, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Yes, just a joke, of course :) DanCherek (talk) 03:06, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Congrats, and the advice

Congratulations on your successful RFA! Carrying on a tradition, allow me to impart the words of wisdom I received from Katie after my RFA passed almost seven long, exhausting, and questionable years ago:

Remember you will always protect the wrong version. (I got nothing here. It's inevitable.) Remember you must always follow the rules, except for when you ignore them. Without exception, you will pick the wrong one to do. (See #5.) Remember to assume good faith and not bite. Remember that when you are applying these principles most diligently, you are probably dealing with a troll. (You'll attract many more of those now, because mop. They must like to drink the dirty water in the bucket.) Use the block ability sparingly. Enjoy the insults you receive when you do block, because really, what else is there to live for? Remember that when you make these errors, someone will be more than happy to point them out to you in dazzling clarity and descriptive terminology. It will not be a personal attack because we are admins and, therefore, we are all rouge anyway. Finally, remember to contact me if you ever need assistance, and I will do what I am able. — TheresNoTime (talk • she/her) 21:15, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Copy Patrol

Hello @DanCherek, Good day Congrats you're an admin now. I'm glad you assist me previously twice. I want to take up new role and replace you. Would you mind guiding me with the copy patrol tool. I have slight low experience with copyright violation and revdel. Thanks C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 04:51, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your interest. I have some concerns, though, about relatively recent copyright issues (like the CCI) and the fact that we seemed to have some difficulty communicating in this conversation. (I am still not sure whether you were saying you copied those episode summaries or not.) For those reasons I recommend spending some time getting experience in other areas of Wikipedia before working in copyright cleanup, which can be tricky to navigate. DanCherek (talk) 12:21, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

@DanCherek Yeah I agree with you. But I have learnt from my mistake and I'm grateful to Moneytrees for giving me a chance. But I have dealt with some revdel here. Also, I believe I'm quick learner, and I'm competent to handle copyright query in more sensible way. Please assist me atleast, if I feel is it's not my cup of tea, then I will not focus in these area. Thanks C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 12:36, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

I appreciate the enthusiasm, but I do not feel comfortable committing to this at this time due to the concerns noted above – particularly our confusing conversation on your talk page where you seemed to suggest that one instance of demonstrated copying was reverse copyvio, and proposed presumptive removal of text from another article (that was later found to not have any issues). Thanks, DanCherek (talk) 13:55, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

RD

August songs

Dan, I hope you still like flowers and music, especially when flowers and sky come like the Ukrainian flag ;) - I have a sad case on DYK today, Ruslana Pysanka. She was ITN before, in the RD group, Recent deaths. That is a field where I sometimes need help, and wonder if you'd be willing. It's easy: nominations appear on WP:ITNN, they need supports (3 and more) and no oppose, and then are placed at the beginning of the group {{In the news}}, discarding the last one. Crediting those involved is super-easy: just a click on the word behind the name, that's it. At the moment I have Zofia Posmysz there, marked ready last night, but not moved. Perhaps because older ones should be handled first. Perhaps because I received a credit today already. One consideration is that every entry should last for 24 hours. Perhaps do nothing right now and just look and see if that is a field where you might want to work occasionally - weekends and vacation time make it slow, while it normally functions well, I must say. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:07, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Gerda! Thanks as always for the stunning photos. I will think about ITNN, but no guarantees nor am I going to add it to my watchlist at the moment (I did that for about 15 other maintenance pages last night and it's a little overwhelming, so need to try to get the hang of things first ). Maybe when things settle down a bit. Good luck with the nomination, the article is excellent! DanCherek (talk) 14:00, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you! The article's excellence is due to Poeticbent (expert of language and history), whom I can't get into the credits because he gave up long ago, so no "updater", but also didn't "create" in the strict sense we use it here. I'll see what I can do, and am not even sure he'd ever look back to here. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:27, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

User:Kyle Langdon-Weyrich/sandbox

Dear Dan Cherek, I am creating a bio page and I saw that you deleted it. Why? The bot said that it was deleted because it references Amazon when that company is not included in the article. Bottom line how much do I have to pay for this free service? Thank you. Kyle Kyle Langdon-Weyrich (talk) 17:42, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Kyle, your page was deleted because it contained promotional text copied verbatim from [1]. Just because you haven't cited something as a source doesn't mean you can copy from it freely – it's still a violation of our copyright policy because the text hasn't been released under a compatibly free license. It looks like you are looking to advertise yourself, which is not permitted on Wikipedia. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged — see our guideline on autobiographies. This is because it is difficult to write a neutral, verifiable autobiography, and there are many pitfalls. And please don't pay anyone for Wikipedia editing, that's an easy way to get scammed and isn't going to get you what you want. Thanks, DanCherek (talk) 17:51, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Neil Douglas

Source is https://www.highschoolofdundee.org.uk/uploads/tinymce/Neil%20Douglas%20Tribute.pdf, not the Scotsman. Perhaps you could clean it up if problematic, rather than just deleting it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7E:4CCF:8E00:D9F8:1D89:26DD:5ADA (talk) 22:59, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

That PDF clearly indicates that they took the text from the Scotsman article, so that's what I decided to attribute. Even if it did originate from the High School of Dundee, it's not okay to copy-paste from other websites to Wikipedia. Feel free to summarize the information in your own words. DanCherek (talk) 23:06, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Sameer Wankhede

I am not getting why you deleted it. The AfD was more than 1 year ago and most of the participants who voted for "Delete" wrongly predicted that the subject won't get any coverage after the controversy that was going on at the time. All of this has been proven wrong and the subject is still getting coverage.[2][3] It is not even uncommon to re-create the article once the subject has gained more notability. A similar example would be this article which was created less than 2 months after the AfD[4] because the subject was more notable now.

It will absolutely end up being kept if an AfD is ever initiated. You should restore the article and its talk page. --Yoonadue (talk) 04:18, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

It looks like you copied and pasted 90% of the article from the deleted version, which breaks our attribution requirements for the dozens of editors who contributed to the article before the AfD. Whenever you are looking to restore the old version of an article deleted at AfD before expansion, WP:DRV is the correct venue. DanCherek (talk) 12:34, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
