Why
Why did you delete my editing of the article about Fox Reynard, which mentioned the story of Ukrainian writer Ivan Franko? I provided the link as required by the rules, I don't understand how this link is not an authoritative source, it was published according to all the canons of scientific literature. Or maybe you just think that Ukrainian literature should not be represented in the global context? Князівна (talk) 08:59, 24 October 2023 (UTC)


 * @Князівна, Of course, Ukrainian literature sources are generally reliable. However, I found that source to be unreliable, so I undid your edit. If you believe that your edit was supported by a reliable source, please feel free to add it back. Happy editing!  𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛  𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜  10:24, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Request on 07:30:35, 30 October 2023 for assistance on AfC submission by Kristinak98
Hello DreamRimmer!

I have viewed, that you have declined my draft of the "Planforge" article. Please review the draft again, as it is an exact translation to the last version of the german article to "Planforge": https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planforge

(Except the rebranded developer name "Planforge GmbH" - it was not reviewed yet in the german article - it still says "ONEPOINT Projects GmbH" but I have already updated it in the german article, too, as this is not right anymore. Source: https://www.planforge.io/en/imprint)

Thus, I don't understand, how the draft could not be accepted, as the exact same german article I translated it from, already exists on wikipedia for a long time. Furthermore, as it is a translation, it would be wrong, if I now wrote it completely different than the german one, right?

Thank you and best regards

 * Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more.
 * Starting November 1, the impact module (Special:Impact) will be upgraded by the Growth team. The new impact module shows newcomers more data regarding their impact on the wiki. It was tested by a few wikis during the last few months.

Future changes
 * There is a proposed plan for re-enabling the Graph Extension. You can help by reviewing this proposal and sharing what you think about it.
 * The WMF is working on making it possible for administrators to edit MediaWiki configuration directly. This is similar to previous work on Special:EditGrowthConfig. A technical RfC is running until November 08, where you can provide feedback.

November Articles for creation backlog drive
 Hello DreamRimmer:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!

Your rejection of Kunitama
I am quite confused about your rejection of the draft Kunitama. It has 4 sources   that definitely count as


 * in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
 * reliable
 * secondary
 * independent of the subject

of which the bulk of the article cites from

And a few for specific claims related to local Kunitama.

And it is quite radically improved over the previous rejection which only had two sources.

How did it not fit these criteria? Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 03:52, 8 November 2023 (UTC)


 * @Immanuelle, I didn't come across significant coverage in the source you provided. The first source only had a brief paragraph about the topic, and I haven't found a source that delves into this topic in depth yet. If my explanation isn't meeting your needs, you might want to consider seeking advice from other reviewers at WP:AFC/H or WT:AFC. – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:18, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @DreamRimmer, while I agree that the first source is not in-depth, it is an encyclopedia article. Having an entry in an encyclopedia is an extremely strong indicator of notability. Indeed there are many people who believe that wikipedia should have an article on every topic that is covered by another encyclopedia. -- asilvering (talk) 12:29, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Hello @Lemonaka, I apologize for the delayed response as I completely forgot about this message. Firstly, thank you for the amazing script. The issue I encountered was when I used it to report a user. Initially, I chose TPA and then opted not to leave a warning on their talk, but the script left my signature on their talk page. – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 12:51, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

 * I'm not well-versed in these topics, but I've been keeping an eye on this LTA for some time. They consistently attempt to insert incorrect and misleading information into articles about Indian castes, dynasties, Turkish dynasties, and Muslim dynasties and tribes. I'll continue watching these articles. Unfortunately, I don't have enough information about the page you mentioned, so if you think the last stable version was different, you can ask other experienced users on its talk page for help. – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 04:53, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

 * @Asilvering, recently, some LTAs have been consistently injecting a Gurjar perspective into articles about Indian and Muslim dynasties. Unfortunately, these LTAs have created several hoax articles about Gurjar clans by directly copying names and content from legitimate dynasties and clans. This specific article follows a the similar pattern, relying on the works of Gurjar writer Javaid Rahi as its sources.

Hi DreamRimmer, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! <b style="color: teal; font-family: Tahoma">HJ Mitchell</b> &#124; <span style="color: navy; font-family: Times New Roman" title="(Talk page)">Penny for your thoughts? 21:45, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Calleigh Duquesne
Hi. I noticed you posted a copyright violation tag on the article Calleigh Duquesne earlier today. However, I think the copyright violation went the other way. The website with the very similar content was created sometime during July 2007, with content that had been already on Wikipedia for a while at that point. Tvx1 23:50, 28 November 2023 (UTC)


 * @Tvx1, I couldn't find information on whether Wikipedia or the website published the content first. That's why I added a tag, as cases without clear copyright licensing information and publishing dates should be treated as possible copyright violation. I wasn't certain about the violation, so I just tagged it with a non-free tag. In cases where I am sure, I follow the cleanup-revdel or G12 processes. An AfDed article should be marked as reviewed to remove it from the NPP queue. I was unsure, so I only tagged it, thinking someone with more information could take appropriate action. By the way, how do you know that the content was first posted on Wikipedia and later on that site in July 2007? – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 01:54, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Is not that difficult to find a tool to check a website’s age. Using one I found that the website was created during July 2007 and the edit history of our article already shows the disputed content by May of that year. Tvx1 12:21, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, relying on information from random websites might not be the best idea. – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 12:48, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Review my first article
Hi I have attempted to create my first article Kadak Singh. This is a Hindi film featuring very prominent actors, including national award winners and has been directed by an acclaimed filmmaker. Looking forward to your feedback and an approval.

Regards Filmy World (talk) 15:13, 2 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Done. The film appears to pass WP:NFF, so I have marked it as reviewed. – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 15:31, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Much to learn. Thanks a bunch! Filmy World (talk) 16:14, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

My name, Nidadavolu Malathi
Hello, Re: the name, Velcheru Narayana Rao, on my page, Nidadavolu Malathi as his spouse. Yesterday, in response to your message stating, I violated some rule, I have responded why I wanted it removed. Once again, I suggest my name on his page is not uncalled for. It gives the falls impression that tw two are still couple. Also, just now I noticed that my name is not mentioned on his page, apparently, for the same reason--there is no relationship. I hate to mention it, but there may be some bias here. Thanks for the opportunity to explain myself.

Regard, Malathi Malathi Nidadavolu (talk) 17:28, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Bhajan Lal Sharma
Dear DreamRimmer,Hello,plesae restore old reference in the Bhajan Lal Sharma because those reference was the evidence of his notability and my old reference are clearly indicates this subject's notability.😊 αvírαm  | (tαlk) 13:48, 12 December 2023 (UTC)


 * It's concerning to see this kind of message from an NPP. – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 14:07, 12 December 2023 (UTC)


 * So I'm sorry, but I just want to know why all the old references and content were removed from the article that I provided at the time of creating the page, I don't think anyone should be able to remove more of the content from those old versions. Has been removed, removing information from the page without any reason also comes under the category of vandalism, if you want, after the last time you edited this page, see what edits other people have done while updating the pages. did?:(   αvírαm  | (tαlk) 14:29, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Pinging @HJ Mitchell, I've assumed good faith many times, but now, seeing these types of messages and responses, I doubt your understanding of related policies. – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 14:44, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I think, thank you for pinging @HJ Mitchell for about that, on wikipedia my contributions are useless in your eyes, perhaps, I just came to ask you a question to you, yes, I made a mistake unknowingly but not misused the rights, however I consider it in my best interest to leave here, although I will have nothing to do with it.😊  αvírαm  | (tαlk) ±
 * No one told you to leave Wikipedia. I saw your request on an admin's talk page about protecting Bhajan Lal Sharma because he's now the Chief Minister of Rajasthan. You really want to keep it protected because lots of users are making changes, but honestly, I haven't seen any vandalism there. Just a reminder, Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia open for everyone to edit. And remember, creating a page doesn't mean it's yours – it's always changing, especially when it's about current events. – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 15:20, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, note that I haven't accused you of misusing your rights, but I am concerned about repeated instances of poor judgment and limited knowledge of policies. – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 15:24, 12 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I know Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit, I requested to protect that page later, but someone else had already requested to protect it on the security page, so I Have created a page, but anyone can make changes in the article, I have no problem with it nor will I, I am happy that the person on whom the article has been created is now going to serve as the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, I made a mistake.  Asking you questions on this topic, but it would be better for me to leave from here, please forgive me, but I have seen minor vandalism on that article recently, I know that it takes hard work of an editor to create an article.  And it also takes a lot of time, the only reason was that considering you a good friend, your members had come for the talks, but now it is better for me to go.
 * I have only a limited understanding of the correct policies, if I continue to contribute in the future, I will definitely try to learn a lot from more experienced Wikipedians than myself, thanks for mentioning my error here.  αvírαm  | (tαlk) 16:32, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
