C-JeS[edit]

Hi! Wikipedia is not a fanclub. You wrote sentences like "she feels like Cjes is a family". This is not encyclopedic material. Please refrain from writing blog entries into an encyclopedia. Referenced or not, there are things we don't accept stylictically. WP:NPOV. And your sentences were also grammatically incorrect. Teemeah 편지 (letter) 13:00, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

On late August 2014, C-JeS Entertainment also managed to signed actress-singer Hwang Jung-eum after a fierce competition.[4][5] She stated that C-JeS artists make her feels like a real family.[6]


Hi,

Ok first of all, there were no grammatical errors in my deleted paragraph. On the other hand, may I point out that "stylictically" was incorrect?

And second, there should be nothing wrong in quoted/wrote "feels like a real family". That was based on real interview with the actress herself, as translated from tv daily by the reference source. That wasn't writing blog entries, you don't write a blog like that. And it was also an encyclopedic material, as it informs readers as to why she chooses to join C-JeS and how she is viewing C-JeS and it's artists, the same purposes as to why there are also writings like "He reportedly chose C-Jes after working with Song Ji-hyo in movie New World." and "Baek has directly said in the interview that C-JeS was established solely because of JYJ." on the page.

Plus I realized that you also deleted "after a fierce competition" part of my first sentence, where it was actually also a true statement given by an industry insider taken and translated from a verifiable Korean news material. Feels free to ask the admin(s) about whether or not my contribution is allowed to. Until then, I see no reason why the paragraph must be deleted. Thank you.--180.245.167.215 (talk) 04:15, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

you mean..[edit]

Sorry to bothering you. I read some Copyright Policy on wikipedia that you directed. And first of all, I am sorry that I didn't check Copyright Policy before uploading. But I don't know exactly what they say.So they mean.. If I want to upload photo of living people , that photo must be a free license? I dont know what is the meaning of the free license. Limited permission from author that only is allowed to use that photo in wikipedia doesn't work in wikipedia? It is not allowed in wikipedia? Even I got permission, but the photo must be a non limited photo to use? Or.. Its a matter of demonstrating procedure? Sorry again. Beahye (talk) 22:48, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I see you have just added a reference for Zhang Yimou's date of birth, the Farquhar reference. However, when I checked it I got "Error 404 - Not Found" as it is an obsolete URL, so I've searched the site and found it in the archive. It also appears that his birth date is disputed, with some sources giving it as 1951, so I have included a source for 1951 too, from Britannica -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:44, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Mangaplus.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Mangaplus.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Come hang out with us![edit]

Hi! I wanted to let you know that we have created an IRC channel for "countering systemic bias one new editor at a time", aka closing the gender gap! Come hang out at #wikimedia-gendergap. We hope this channel can serve as a safe haven to hang out, talk about Wiki, brainstorming, women in Wikimedia, article alerts and foster friendships. I hope you join us! (And if you need any IRC help, just let me know!) See you there! SarahStierch (talk) 20:24, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on File:Emreme1.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a Word document or PDF file) that has no encyclopedic use.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. 小龙 (Timish) # xiǎolóng de xìnxiāng 21:19, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Aydilge.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Aydilge.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 23:46, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Stories Project[edit]

Hi!

My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who make and use Wikipedia have so much to share.

I'd very much like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project, or if you know anyone with whom I should speak.

Thank you for your time,

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)[edit]

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi t | c 17:34, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ölü Bölgeden Fısıltılar (2012)[edit]

Hi! Thanks for your reply! For the article Ölü Bölgeden Fısıltılar, I generally need help fleshing out the information with the sources given in the article as well as searching for anything else that might be out there. I also have a bit of a language barrier when it comes to the user that created the article. I think he might speak Turkish, but I'm not sure. Almost all of the coverage the film has received has been in Turkish, so that's the main reason behind my assuming this. The big thing is that he keeps re-adding information to the article that is already in the infobox or otherwise redundant to the article.

Hi!

G.O. MBLAQ edit[edit]

Hey! I got your message about my edit on G.O.'s wiki page. Sorry for not having read up on wikipedia's policy of how to edit pages on living people, I'm still relatively new to editing here. However, I do have a quick question about the edit, since I know it to be true. Would a reliable source be a news site in Korea and/or a quote from G.O. himself? If so, how would I go about citing that? Any help you could provide would be great! Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Twist3dBushido (talkcontribs) 20:39, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your advice really does help! Thank you again! I have another quick follow-up question, though. If G.O. was interviewed with MBLAQ on a blog's variety show where he revealed this information along with the other members, is that still considered not a valid source?

@Piotrus: Thank you. I'm not sure I will try again :) The rules seem to be a lot less flexible than in my home wiki (this article is FA there), and since I am not a native speaker, there will always be complaints about grammar. Teemeah 편지 (letter) 11:20, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As a native English speaker myself, I think you are doing quite fine here. But getting a FA level here is next to impossible without substantial help from native speakers. That's why I mostly abandoned FA and focus on GA level those days... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:23, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus: Indeed, that's my conclusion, as well. I'm not sure it's worth the energy to translate my featured articles to English when they could at best be GA here. I have a couple that are nowhere near GA in enwiki (mostly Korean history related articles) and I was thinking about improving them based on my huwiki articles but I am not sure people wouldn't pick on grammar and stuff. Btw, can I place {{Good article}} in to the article? :) Teemeah 편지 (letter) 11:32, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure if the the template is added manually or by a bot, you may want to check the documentation. I'd recommend translating your work here, as English Wikipedia articles are read by many more than any others. Are you familiar with the page history view tool? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:34, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus: Yes, of course. I'm on old fox in wiki, in my 9th year now (though I am of course more comfortable in my home wiki environment). I don't really mind how many people read my articles :) If I did, I wouldn't write articles for huwiki at all, since the number of people interested in Korean stuff is not really high there. I write because I like learning about these things anyway. But it's easier to write in my native tongue than in English. :) I wrote smaller articles for enwiki and did a lot of smaller corrections and sourcing but this article was my first major length "trial" and so far I am not really satisfied with the result :) Teemeah 편지 (letter) 11:42, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DramaWiki and blacklisting versus reliability[edit]

Hi. First, I want to compliment your rewrite of the English Wikipedia article "Korean Drama". It is for the first time a solid introduction to the topic.

While you were working on it you took the time to reply to something I'd written in the talk page, while I was writing the first version of the "history" section, when I suggested that Wikipedia blacklists the site DramaWiki (whose URL I can't give here as a result: wiki dot d-addicts dot com) because Wikipedians were "pissed off" that DramaWiki does a better job than Wikipedia on the things it does. (Non-random example: Wikipedia *still* doesn't have a page for Eyes of Dawn.)

Your reply essentially pointed out that DramaWiki isn't a reliable source because it's a wiki. Well, actually, I've been finding out, by watching K-dramas' onscreen credits, that DramaWiki really *isn't* reliable. (Neither it, nor English nor Korean Wikipedia, credit Bu Seong-cheol, director of Star's Lover and My Girlfriend Is a Nine-Tailed Fox, with co-directing about half of You're Beautiful, but according to the onscreen credits, he did. Also none of the three has a page about him. This is just the latest of about half a dozen such finds I've come across.)

However, what you're ignoring is that unreliable references get deleted; they don't get blacklisted. Blacklisting a site, so that it's impossible to link to it from a Wikipedia page, is only done for abuse of Wikipedia. So what abuse did DramaWiki perpetrate that led to its blacklisting?

As it happens, during the discussions that led me to stop editing Wikipedia articles, I found out. And here it is:

DramaWiki got too popular.

No, I'm serious. This was early in the site's history; it probably wasn't then the invaluable resource it has since become. So yeah, I was wrong as to *what* Wikipedians got "pissed off" *about*, but not about what happened. DramaWiki was blacklisted because there were hundreds of links to it, in some cases multiple links in a single article, and this was interpreted as "spamming" Wikipedia *even though the links were established as the independent work of many contributors*.

Of course, the fact that DramaWiki is a sub-site of a massive copyright infringer made it easier for the people involved to ignore the idiocy of their position.

See English Wikipedia's November 2008 blacklisting of DramaWiki.

Now, the inability to link to it, and give proper credit, hasn't prevented people from plagiarising DramaWiki; besides the previous Eyes of Dawn article see my survey of 24 dramas' articles which found DramaWiki plagiarised in one fourth. (This survey is way down from the point that link lands you at; it has its own heading, beginning "Plagiarism".) It would, of course, be easier to catch improper reliance on this unreliable source if such plagiarism could be acknowledged with references.

An attempt to overturn the blacklisting was rejected in 2011, no longer on the grounds of spam, but explicitly on the grounds that the parent site is a copyright infringer. Still, it was originally blacklisted because Wikipedians were jealous, just as I said.

Hi. That's your own opinion. I'm not going to try to convince you. I'm tired of trying to convince people to read wikipedia's rules before they comment. I've been a Wikipedian for nine years and know this system in and out. I will keep on writing Wikipedia from reliable sources, and couldn't care less about Dramawiki being on a blacklist. Cuz you know those data are all available on reliable sites, too. You just need to spend time looking for them (and learn to read some Hangul). Teemeah 편지 (letter) 14:37, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Sorry to take so long to reply. I got mad when I first read your answer and didn't want to keep it up, but now see that I can be sorta dispassionate.
I'm not saying DramaWiki should be cited as a reliable source. I am saying that I found some evidence when I did my survey that people do try to cite sources instead of just openly plagiarising, and being unable to link to DramaWiki impedes that, which in turn makes the rampant plagiarism harder to spot. (I'm not talking about their data. I found in 24 Wikpedia articles six cases where Wikipedia was explicitly quoting DramaWiki's *text* synopses, and in every single one I found proof that DramaWiki was first. If 1/4 of Wikipedia's K-drama articles plagiarise DramaWiki, that's about 100 articles plagiarising a single site. Which Wikipedia explicitly blacklists on the grounds that *it* infringes copyrights!)
Separately, because numerous pages link to Hancinema, which also has its own Wikipedia article, but no pages can link to DramaWiki, which doesn't, Wikipedia is essentially taking sides between competing anglophone K-drama wikis. Tsk tsk.
As for reading rules, one reason I'm not editing Wikipedia any more is that I got fed up with reading rules whose worth nobody saw fit to explain to me. In the last weeks before I gave up I probably read around 100 Wikipedia pages about Wikipedia's rules. As I said at the time, this site has a pretty horrendous problem re newbies.
Oh, and Hangul. Um, I don't know how K-dramas are delivered in Hungary, but the forms in which I see them don't translate the senior crew credits usually shown near the beginning of each episode. What I said about Bu Seong-cheol comes from reading Hangul.
Finally, thanks for the pointer to the original author of "The Rise and Fall of the K-Drama Empire". Now to see if I can find the pieces With S2 doesn't offer.

Seoul Metropolitan Subway - updated number[edit]

Hello Teemeah,

Thanks for editing the Seoul Metropolitan Subway page. I checked the link today and the link isn't working. The IP address link is from the statistics website of the Korean government, nice job! But please fix the link when you can. I'd love to see what other information is there. Thanks~ ₪RicknAsia₪ 01:00, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was reverted under Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials The license is not clear and valid. The photo was also shown to have been in use on other websites. Mikepellerin (talk) 19:09, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The photo you just changed it to has a clear copy and trademark on the image. It was cropped. [1] Just because an image is in commons doesn't mean it's cleared to be used on wikipedia itself. Mikepellerin (talk) 19:36, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Mikepellerin: Did you check the licence on the Wasabcon website? No, you didn't. That site has been donating pictures to Wikipedia for a long time now and they also use the Korean CC licence. It has also been checked by Commons admins several times previously. Instead of just judging quickly, how about you actually make the effort to find out why a photo is licenced as such? Having been posted previously on an other website doesn't mean it is not free licence. We get a bunch of photos from Flickr and other repositories as well.

Check:[edit]

Understand, I'm not fighting or arguing with you. I'm a Hottest! I would love to have updated versions of pics for 2PM, but it's not that easy. I once uploaded selca's (posted by the boys) and was told they were not original! I was told I didn't have permission because they were posted on twitter. I obtained private photos from JYPE, but those were deleted because the license was not clear, and they may be non-nuetral. I was also told that all of the photos need to be changed at the same time. Ie: If you change Jun K., you need to change the rest of 2PM.

A (Hottest) friend is working on uploading fancam grabs. We are hoping this will work. If you can help update the pics with clear licenses, It would be awesome.

I'm sorry we argued, as it's obvious we are both "Hottests!"

Picture of EXO Baekhyun[edit]

Hi Teemeah, I was adding pictures to the page K-Pop World Festival and saw you did some work with EXO's pictures in Wikimedia Commons. You uploaded Baekhyun's File:EXO Baekhyun.JPG (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EXO_Baekhyun.JPG) but maybe forgot to add it to his Wikipedia page Byun Baekhyun. I started to add it, then saw your previous work! All the best!--Bonnielou2013 (talk) 03:04, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again Teemeah, just got your response on my talk page and had a giggle. Fair enough. Since I'm not an Administrator, nor a fan, I didn't read the Baekhyun page to notice the value. I take it you are not an Exotic. I like k-pop and I'm not a teen, also! Had to marvel at the amount of photos available on WC for K-Pop World Festival! I just celebrated a year since my first WP page, and adding images still makes me sweat! I certainly didn't want to have a sasaeng fan after me (on WP yet!), since I only like one of their songs much anyway (Miracles in December)! But, if I can vote, whether the page is worthy or not, every other member has their picture up, and with EXO-M bailing out, it might be your best chance to add it! Thanks and keep up the good work!--Bonnielou2013 (talk) 14:06, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and[edit]

Hello. I know we've had a few differences in the past but let's both assume good faith on the part of the other and move forward, is that cool? I think we both take the other one's words wrong a lot of times, and I've been harsh and overreacted on some occasions. (I'm so terrible at expressing myself online.) We've got a lot in common in terms of areas of editing interest and will undoubtedly cross paths frequently. We can celebrate our first victory at getting the JYJ members' articles to better titles! I was a huge fan of theirs for years (still am, of course, just don't follow them closely anymore). Anyway, I just wanted to say that. Thanks for all you do on Wikipedia and I value your opinion even if I don't always agree with it - collaboration is a good thing! :) Shinyang-i (talk) 05:19, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Shinyang-i: it is natural to have differences in opinion and I am also not very good at holding back when I believe something I do is right. I'm not sure I will do any bigger job on enwiki anymore, it's too much time and effort and too many clashes with too many people. I will stay in my home wiki and scribe articles nobody reads anyway :) I will resort to smaller changes and correction in enwiki. Good luck with the Kpop articles. I give up on them. Teemeah 편지 (letter) 14:34, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Feeling your pain totally. I, too, kind of just want to stay in my corner and work on articles no one seems to care about (they're kpop, but they've been sitting dormant for years and read like, well, like articles written years ago). I am having a lot of trouble finding my comfort zone in this Wikipedia editing experience. Online expression is so, so hard, and the kpop articles were virtually unmonitored by outsiders for so long it's hard to do anything that feels like progress. Efforts to get things more in line with the rest of Wikipedia feel like sabotage and attacks to many editors, and it's all just really ugly. I think if it weren't for the fact that Wikipedia is the first stop for nearly everyone when obtaining info on a subject, I would abandon it. But having terrible information out there or blatant advertising...I just can't handle it. So I'll persevere but yeah...it's a constant emotional roller-coaster. Good luck on your editing endeavors, whatever you choose to do. :) Shinyang-i (talk) 00:23, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

F.T. ISLAND[edit]

Hi, if I write articles on fnc and ftisland in a neutral point of view, would it be accepted? Not accepted by you but rather in wikipedia's context.

I don't have multiple accounts by the way, I used to edit FTISLAND's career in 2014 which is like few months ago but stopped editing frequently. I merely helped re-edit another user's edit with sources.

In my opinion, this is a major happening as the company said something bad about hongki which fnc shouldnt. This is more or less a dispute from the fnc.

Well, if its not accepted by wikipedia then i shall do nothing and let the article remain as it should. By the way, its not whether you accept it or not but rather am i violating wikipedia uses.

Have a good day ahead. Expecting a reply :)

Hi. I was wondering if you'd be interested in setting up Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Turkey), based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). Now it's not a contest in itself, it's designed to motivate people to inspire others to improve content and build something which demonstrates the hard work going into the country which is visible. The focus is more on quality improvements but new articles are welcome too. Eventually a Turkish National Contest could be created to fuel it, like Wikipedia:Awaken the Dragon, in which contestants can choose to keep the Amazon vouchers themselves to buy their own books for more articles or put them into book fund to help editors further improve Turkish-related topics by giving them the books they want. It will begin though as purely an improvement drive. If interested, or you think anybody else might be interested, alert them and sign up on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Turkey talk page at the bottom. Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:12, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Akiyama Tokuzō[edit]

On 2 October 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Akiyama Tokuzō, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Akiyama Tokuzō, once referred to as the "Japanese Escoffier", became Master Chef of the Imperial Court of Japan at only 25 years of age? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Akiyama Tokuzō. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Akiyama Tokuzō), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite[edit]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 03:06, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Images for One Ok Rock[edit]

Hi Teemeah! Long time no talk with you! Hope you are well. I have a question, if you have time to look at some images recently uploaded for One Ok Rock and the band members pages, by the same new user (Jean Ackermann). They are uploads from Instagram. You can find all under Jean's contributions. [5]

They are on a list of Review by new users - but I wanted to ask if Instagram shows a license somewhere? If so, that would be one more place to pull WP photos from, like Flickr! If they are not licensed, I know that you are skilled in this - so I wanted you to take a look at them. The band is getting a lot of attention right now with a new album and US tour - and I didn't want us at WP to have bad images up for them! Thanks, and talk to you later.--Bonnielou2013 (talk) 20:48, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Bonnielou2013: Hi Bonnie. Instagram is not a good place to get photos from. They are all copyrighted. They need permission from the photographer just like any usual photo. Instagram doesn't have an option for free licensing. These photos are all simply copyright violations, unfortunately. Teemeah 편지 (letter) 11:36, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Teemeah - I knew they looked too good to be true. I saw you tagged them...so I will remove them from WP. Thanks again and Happy New Year!--Bonnielou2013 (talk) 01:07, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Special Box[edit]

Hi, I'm Domdeparis. Teemeah, thanks for creating Special Box!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Hi as it is it is impossible to know if the album meets the criteria in WP:NALBUM please add some more sources to prove it passes at least one of the 6 criteria. Thank you

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Domdeparis (talk) 14:16, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Teemeah. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Single Box, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

  1. edit the page
  2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
  3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Domdeparis (talk) 12:29, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you![edit]

Thanks very much for the beer! ^_^ I hope you succeed in getting We Are X promoted to FA. If you do, let me know we can try to work together to get it up to FA in the English Wikipedia too. I'm already trying to get it on DYK? at the moment. ISD (talk) 10:43, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article Pickwick (brand) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Thanks. I see some mentions in passing in books, but I am struggling to find some sources that provide in-depth coverage and assertion of notability (I found a short paragraph in Michael Levy; Dhruv Grewal (29 January 2015). Proceedings of the 1993 Academy of Marketing Science (AMS) Annual Conference. Springer. pp. 143–. ISBN 978-3-319-13159-7. but it doesn't suggest importance, IMHO). I'll ping User:Northamerica1000 for a third opinion (and in either case, you are welcome to remove the prod notice, we may or may not decide to take it to AFD for a wider discussion later on). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:19, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Piotrus: I'm sure there is coverage in Dutch since it has been the leading tea brand of the Netherlands, but I don't speak Dutxh to be able to determine which article covers them from what aspect.

KPOP ULZZANG[edit]

HI Teemeah, I'm a Korean. There is no relation between Gyaru-fashion and ULZZANG. I've first a story like this in Wikipedia. I am embarrassed to article. Moreover, there is no such thing as a Gyaru-fashion in the ulzzang cam pictures. It began with a A handsome competition(In the early 90s haduri selca)And DAUM cafe. Since then, not selfi, korean people say called selca. This is known to all Koreans, and Koreans will be embarrassed to see this article. The Please restore it again. ulzza.com source is almost accurate(The source was written by a KOREAN 안여정(an yeo-jung.[6] It would be nice to ask if you have Korean friends around. Celebrity Nam Sang-mi is most famous of ulzzang. ulzzang Not a given style, simply talks about handsome and beautiful things. It seems that you know something wrong in foreign countries? Korean Dictionary ulzzang[7] ME Editing K-pop article[8] (talk) 3:43 26 MAY 2018 (UTC)

I don't really care who wrote the article, that's not a realiable source that you linked. Find a relable source that states the same. Blogs and stuff like that are not acceptable sources. You changed the source link that was a reliable source (an article in a peer-reviewed journal) to something nobody can confirm to be a reliable source. That's a community page, same as a blog or a forum, anyone can claim they are experts on a topic, that won't make them reliable sources just because they post photos themselves as ulzzangs. I suggest that you read Wikipedia's rules on reliable sources: WP:RS. It doesn't matter of "everyone in Korea knows it" if it is not recited in a reliable source. Teemeah 편지 (letter) 18:27, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, being a Korean won't make someone a reliable source for Wikipedia. I'm Hungarian, does that make me a reliable source for everytghing related to Hungary? Of course not. Just because something was posted by a Korean national, it won't be neither true nor relaibale automatically.... Teemeah 편지 (letter) 18:29, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply. But what is a reliable source? This is not a scientific paper.That book, too Be merely one's own opinion. However, Korean social phenomenon is very well organized in Korean portal site. ulzza.com is the closest article and it's an English document, so I made a change. It is a professional ulzzang blog. Wikipedia is often cited as a source of blog-shaped articles. It is not wrong. And Korea's big popular boy band is H.O.T (1996), but at the time, I did not use ulzzang word. Wikipedia articles have a considerable sense of incongruity. If it is not a reliable source, is it ok to change and it to a Korean article source? [9] [10] It's about story of ulzzang star.(Daum cafe, nam sang-mi, etc) ok. So I will change it to a reliable source of Korea.

Ruler names of Joseon[edit]

Hi, will you continue the good work, or is it done with Gwul/Jeonggyeong? I guess that you are able to read Korean, so I'd like to know which are your sources. Are there any english ones that everyone would be able to read? I'm asking as editor of de-WP, where we are severely lacking in information on the Gija mythical dynasty. Regards, --Enyavar (talk) 15:39, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Enyavar: yes I will continue, I wasn't at my computer this weekend. I don't have sources, I'm merely renaming the wrongly named articles someone else wrote. The transcription is bogus, so all of them need to be corrected. The sources are given in Korean. There are hardly any English language sources on this period, that would detail the kings. There is no such requirement that sources have to be in English. Some things are simply just not available in English. English doesn't run the world ;) Teemeah 편지 (letter) 18:33, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, English just facilitates the sourcing. Since I shouldn't quote sources that I haven't read/understood, using your corrections like here needs to remain unsourced for now. So I was just asking. Later, I will correct the names in the table once you have finalized the stuff. Thanks! --Enyavar (talk) 18:42, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Enyavar: it's sourced, it's just sourced in Korean. For example this page lists the Gija Joseon kings. It's an excerpt from an ancient document, and is published by the Korean Classical Translating Agency. The problem with the articles is not that they are unsourced, but that they are named in the wrong way, the creator of the articles named the kings according to their personal names (like, today's first name), and not according to the name by which they ruled. I'm using the original articles in Kowiki to transcribe the ruler name, but one of the Korena language sources also lists them by these. Teemeah 편지 (letter) 19:02, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Enyavar: it's done, I also corrected the template. Teemeah 편지 (letter) 20:27, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, you are really fast! I hope my request didn't rush you. If you can spare some time, could you please look at de:Liste der Herrscher Koreas#Gija to check that I have not made a major error? Also, on that same page there is a list of (also mythical) monarchs of the Dangun dynastie, complete with chronology. Do you have any idea where that list might come from, the page history says the names and the dates were just added by two different persons, the latter of whom was seemingly familiar with Korea. --Enyavar (talk) 10:05, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Enyavar: I have no idea where the Gojoseon kings list comes from, to be honest. My sources only mention a few kings whose name was known [11], and kowiki article on Gojoseon and Gija also say that the successors are largely unknown and the first known king after that is already Bu of Gojoseon (알려지지 않음 [not known]→ 부왕 [King Bu]) We can safely say that whoever wrote that list probably made it up... I would trim it down to the kings that can actually be sourced:
  • 1. Dangun (BC 2333? – ?)
  • ? Gija (BC 1122? – i. e. 1082?)
  • ? Bu (BC ? – ?)
  • ? Jun (BC ? – BC 194)

Teemeah 편지 (letter) 17:19, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm utterly fascinated by en-WP now. There was once a huge argument that led to a clear separation of articles: The "real" list was kept clean of mythical kings; they were all listed in a separate "legendary list". Then, someone decided that legendary rulers are fiction and should not be mentioned at all. Which is why today, there are many redirects (Heuldal/Gareuk/etc.) of fictious rulers to a non-fiction list, where they are not mentioned at all, because they are fiction. Hilarious!
After a cursory glance, my new guess is that these names (Go-Joseon and Gija-Joseon) were all either made up in 1675 AD (Gyuwon Sahwa), or 1911/1975 AD (Hwandan Gogi). So while they are not true facts, they do have some history of their own and should at least be recorded somewhere as what they are (myth/fiction).
I think that the best way to go on would be: Restore the List of legendary monarchs of Korea to article status. Then, move the many redirects to there, and move the fictious lists also there. Mention in all the 41 stub articles that they are about a legendary/fictious person. Afterwards, keep only the four rulers in the "real" list like you described. Also maybe we should copy this discussion over to the list(s) that we are discussing, so that everyone learns about these concerns. Do you agree on some of these points? --Enyavar (talk) 19:10, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to invite @Oppashi: to this conversation, because he currently studies Koreanology at university, so I'd like to see someone who actually has access to academical point of views chip in on this. I'm not 100% familiar with the ancient period yet, and I'd need to read through more sources myself to be able to safely do this. The Gija Joseon kings appear to have sources available, but now I am shaken in my previous assumption that they are valid. I'd need to review the sources more thoroughly to determine if they list "legendary" kings or real kings. My history books on Korea do not mention names apart from that four above. Oppashi, what do you think? Teemeah 편지 (letter) 10:43, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edits on the Bohemian Rhapsody article[edit]

Hi,

I don't know how to link you on the Bohemian Rhapsody Wikipedia page itself, but I wanted to let you know that some changes you've done on my submitted information are wrong.

1. The bit about Live Aid and Jim Beach are true, its stated by Live Aid promoter Harvey Goldsmith in that BBC documentary. I specifically time-stamped the cited video to add context. 2. Your source for Queen's performance at Rio via the rockinrio.com site does not state that they had performed in Rio before; only that they had played in Brazil in the past. There are no Queen concerts in Rio prior to January 1985.
