She was Neumanová when she married. Only after marriage she became Pinterová. Pommée (talk) 21:31, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
- Pommée as per MOS:NEE and WP:MAIDEN she is identified as born Neumanová but the page is named after her as Pinterová and she is referred to within the article that way. You can see an example of it at Virginia Woolf. ☕ Antiqueight chatter 11:59, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Welcome back!
[edit]Hope the passing of slightly depressing 2020 gave a refresh. And great to see new articles arriving :-) I enjoyed dipping my toes back in the creation waters last year, so I've also launched a couple this year, and am working on the next already. See you 'round, SeoR (talk) 10:53, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- SeoR Thank you!! I'm hoping I can keep going this year. I wore out by August last year and was ded. Here's to 2021 (or something). Cheers. ☕ Antiqueight chatter 17:50, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Women in Red metrics
[edit]I have just noticed you have been adding your new women's biographies to our monthly metrics lists. There's no harm in doing this but we have a bot which picks them all up and adds them automatically. The only ones it might be useful to add are articles about women and their works which are not biographies, although I frequently go through the new creations and add all those I think are pertinent. In any case, it's good to see how many articles you keep creating - 50 for February alone. Great stuff! --Ipigott (talk) 12:34, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Ipigott You know, I think knew that once but I'd forgotten. And I hadn't realised it was 50 for Feb but it is! Mind you, that was a concerted effort to catch up on those missed in January. So I don't expect March to have more than 31 or so.... ☕ Antiqueight chatter 23:33, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Most of us would consider one new article a day to be hugely ambitious but you seem to consider it pretty average.--Ipigott (talk) 07:29, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- Ipigott - well, it was my aim for last year but the later half of the year got the better of me. So this is attempt number two. ☕ Antiqueight chatter

article on Emily Overend Lorimer
[edit]Hi there, in your very informative article on Emily Lorimer you mention her eduction. I'd like to add this bit to my article about her in Polish Wikipedia but seem to be unable to find any sources to confirm her studies both at the Dublin Trinity College and then at Somerville. Do you think you might help me here? I will greatly appreciate it. Greetings from another side of the Wiki language divide :-) --DaLoetz (talk) 11:05, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hi DaLoetz, That was from this reference, I think... the Dictionary of Irish Biography mentions her in Somerville. It's been a while. [1]

Thank you. I hope it's accurate. Rather than adding to it directly (as they would have a conflict of interest), if you have any other citations for information that should be added, or corrected, you can drop it here or at her talk page. ☕ Antiqueight chatter 11:22, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Ann Riordan.jpeg
[edit]
Thank you for uploading File:Ann Riordan.jpeg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Ann Riordan.jpeg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Ann Riordan.jpeg. 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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:12, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

The Rambling Man, with 1825 points from 3 featured articles, 44 featured article reviews, 14 good articles, 30 good article reviews and 10 DYKs. In addition, he completed a 34-article good topic on the EFL Championship play-offs.
Epicgenius, a New York specialist, with 1083 points from 2 featured article reviews, 18 good articles, 30 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
Bloom6132, with 869 points from 11 DYKs, all with bonus points, and 54 "In the news" items, mostly covering people who had recently died.
Gog the Mild, with 817 points from 3 featured articles on historic battles in Europe, 5 featured article reviews and 3 good articles.
Hog Farm, with 659 points from 2 featured articles and 2 good articles on American Civil War battles, 18 featured article reviews, 2 good articles, 6 good article reviews and 4 DYKs.

Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (one contestant in round 3 lost out because of this). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

WikiCup 2021 September newsletter
[edit]The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, 
The Rambling Man and 
Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being 
Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are .svg){kind=small}
Gog the Mild, 
Lee Vilenski, 
BennyOnTheLoose, 
Amakuru and 
Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. .jpg){kind=small}
Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

Cambridge Scholars Publishing
[edit]This is one of the worst predatory publishers out there. I don't know why you say it's not listed in Beall, because it certainly is (on the updated list). Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:31, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
- Because that's what it says on the wiki page about them. So give a citation for your position and update their wiki to say that or undo the revision on the page - evidence is required and when I looked them up here, it suggested that they are at best dubiously predatory. ☕ Antiqueight chatter 20:42, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021
[edit]
Hello Antiqueight,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
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 or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

Golani Family copyright violation
[edit]Hi, in 2016 you marked Golani Family as a possible copyright violation and listed it at WP:CP. I'm currently looking at this listing and can't find any sources. I just wanted to ask if you found a source you believed it was copied from, or whether you thought the text just looked suspicious. If the prior, would you mind linking the source? Many thanks — Berrely • Talk∕Contribs 19:38, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
- I don't remember at first glance. I'll take a look tomorrow and see if I can find out. Usually it would be that I found a specific text it matched. ☕ Antiqueight chatter 02:11, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
