Speedy deletion nomination of Rumon of Tavistock

Hello Ggdivhjkjl,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Rumon of Tavistock for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

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

Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:09, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, we have to remove this article. However, you may want to write it again in your own words! -- Luk ^talk 10:18, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article Rumon of Tavistock recreated with additional info & re-phrasing. Please note that it's been marked with several stubs & a refimprove box precisely so that others can improve upon it. There are numerous articles already on Wikipedia with less information included in them. Ggdivhjkjl (talk) 14:23, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Stennett, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Minister (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:15, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Fixed so it points to the right article. Ggdivhjkjl (talk) 00:56, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Shasn moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Shasn, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. – Broccoli & Coffee ^{(Oh hai)} 22:51, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I've added some more sources but I did originally include stub tags so that other people would know to add more details and information to it. There are lots of much shorter articles on Wikipedia as well as longer articles with fewer references. I know YouTube isn't the best source but considering how the channel Extra Credits has its own Wikipedia page too I think it fair to mention its owner's involvement with the game.

Avoiding cut-and-paste moves

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Red Book of Endangered Languages a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 13:05, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jamiebuba (talk) 16:19, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I won't be expanding it. That's why I added the stub tag to it, so that other people would know it needed that. I just translated the bulk of it from the existing article on the Swedish Wiki as Wikipedia has always encouraged users to do. Ggdivhjkjl (talk) 16:27, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:56, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I came across this while doing new page patrol, and had to move it to drafts because there is no evidence that the subject is notable. Notability per WP:GNG requires significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. This article only cites the manufacturer Arla's website and one of their press releases, neither of which contribute towards notability. I actually came pretty close to requesting for this to be speedily deleted, but on second thoughts felt it would be fairer to give you an opportunity to try and find more and better sources. Once you've done that, you can submit the draft for pre-publication review by clicking that blue 'submit' button. Thank you, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:00, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As I said to Jamiebuba the other day, I was only following Wikipedia's direction to translate existing articles from Wikipedia pages in other languages. I will not be expanding it. Wikipedia has always used stub tags to indicate that new articles need expanding.

It is a shame that willing contributors to this platform are now being bullied off it by actions like the one you just took. Such actions are detrimental to Wikipedia's original intent and harmful to the overall project. I've previously started multiple articles without sufficient sources which others have then come along and added sources to because I included the tags necessary to encourage them to do so. Your action makes it impossible for those people to find new articles with which they can help out.

Unless such attacks on those of us who follow Wikipedia's explicit instructions on how to lay the foundations for its expansion cease then we will simply stop helping. Most of the time I never even bother to log in unless I can't do something without logging in. I have already stopped donating to Wikipedia because of these increased attacks on freedom of knowledge. If you want to maintain your attacks on freedom of knowledge, then go right ahead and delete every article voluntarily translated from this platform.

Ggdivhjkjl (talk) 10:31, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ggdivhjkjl Hi, I'm sorry that you feel bullied, that is not @DoubleGrazing's intention. Articles that are taken to mainspace should be properly sourced per Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Verifiability. If you look at Draft:Anund Sture, you had not properly added a source per Wikipedia:Inline citation which is required for articles with such content and articles in Wikipedia:Mainspace. In any case, when creating such articles it is advised to submit it via Wikipedia:Drafts so as to have input and proper review to avoid deletion or disruption in future after being approved. While some reviewers may chose to improve an article, some other reviewers are ladened with more responsibility of doing so much that it is easier to just move the article to draft while giving you advise on how to improve it like Doublegrazing did.

While we appreciate your efforts to help build Wikipedia and do NOT take it for granted, we strive to keep the standard of articles available to readers. In case you do consider to continue creating articles, I would advise submitting it through draft. I hope you take it in good faith. Jamiebuba (talk) 18:46, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nyatsimba Mutota moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Nyatsimba Mutota. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Cremastra (talk) 23:30, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's this kind of BULLYING that caused me to cease helping Wikipedia. Had you spent less than 1 minute on that article you would have seen the bibliography giving its sources, as translated from existing articles in 3 different languages. Stop harassing people who build and improve upon the article if you actually care! Ggdivhjkjl (talk) 11:53, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you feel that way, but "Bibliography" sections are for works by the subject or for further reading, not for references. (Look at James Joyce, as an example). Generally speaking, you should also use inline citations. You can't expect everyone to know where your sources are when you don't put them in the widely-expected place for them, given the "References" section is empty. Cremastra (talk) 13:22, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I followed Wikipedia's instructions on the Translation page. Do you have any idea how long it takes to translate an article from 3 languages and edit it into something readable? Or do you only care about suppressing the history of African royalty for racist reasons?

There are plenty of existing articles which only include a bibliography. A bibliography is not for works by the subject. It is an extended list encompassing both directly and indirectly referenced works, whereas a reference list only contains the former. But to keep a racist bully happy, numerous inline citations have now been added, along with a tag to add more information by translating the Shona article.Ggdivhjkjl (talk) 13:30, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
