Clarification of wording of Barbara's topic ban
Sandstein has closed the User:Barbara (WVS) ANI discussion with a topic ban worded "is topic-banned (WP:TBAN) from medical articles". Following discussion with Sandstein regarding the scope of that topic ban (User_talk:Sandstein), it is felt that further wording is required. Therefore it is proposed that the wording of the topic ban is amended to read:

"By consensus of the community,, also editing as , is topic-banned (WP:TBAN) from health and medical topics, including anatomy and sexuality, broadly construed, and is also banned from interacting with (WP:IBAN)."

Ways to improve Chae Je-gong
Hi, I'm Boleyn. Pldx1, thanks for creating Chae Je-gong!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add your sources.

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.

Boleyn (talk) 20:44, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Dear User:Boleyn. Maybe your tags will contribute to the improvement of the Chae Je-gong article. Or maybe not. In any case, you are more than welcome to apply the "sofixit" mantra: don't hesitate to work harder and provide by yourself more facts, more references, more categories and more whatever. You can even remove everything that is not sourced and doesn't belongs to the common knowledge. Happy tagging ! Pldx1 (talk) 22:12, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Pldx1, I can't fix every unreferenced article that comes through New Page Patrol, but that doesn't mean I can't help. In this case, I reviewed the article (ticked it off at acceptable for Wikipedia so it can now be indexed by Google) and politely asked you to add your sources. I hoped you would remember where you had got your information from and so it wouldn't be too big an issue for yout oadd it there - I'm happy to add it if you let me know what the source was. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 06:50, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Dear Galactic Patroller. You are describing tagging and thereafter discussing as a 'polite' mode. Perhaps you should consider a 'more polite' mode, i.e. discussing first, and then only tagging if necessary. For your "sofixit" assignment, Google_search(채제공 초상 蔡濟恭 肖像) will give you some hints, while Google_search(Chae Jegong – On the Day of the Awakening Insects) will be inspiring. Happy improvements ! Pldx1 (talk) 08:43, 12 April 2018‎

Pldx1 (talk) 14:42, 14 April 2018 (UTC)


 * User:Pldx you seem to be unclear how New Page Patrol works. NPP reviews all new pages across all topics. It is unreasonable to expect reviewers to fix everything they find wrong for they are likely not even experts on or interested in the random topics they look at. Please provide the requested sources or the page could face deletion. Legacypac (talk) 17:12, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Chae Je-gong


The article Chae Je-gong has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "No sources. The creator was asked on talk to provide them but declined."

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 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 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.

Apology
I should have said this several days ago: I am sorry for insulting you and your arguments on Pbsouthwood's RfA. I was out of line, regardless of how I felt about them, and it truly was a waste of words anyway. I hope you can forgive me. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 15:11, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Dear User:Compassionate727. What you wrote was The tool is only as useful as the brain power put into interpreting it, and I'm inclined to believe that the latter was missing here. In other words, you were not arguing that I could miss of brain power, but only guessing that I could have invested more of the said brain power into interpreting... Anyone is entitled in her opinion, and your's was politely stated. In any case, I appreciate your concern for good will. Have a nice week ! Pldx1 (talk) 16:08, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Since Gauss and Hilbert spent most of their mathematical careers in Göttingen, they probably sometimes ate and drank at the historic Schwarzer Bär.

Evidence length
The Arbitration Committee has asked that evidence presentations be kept to around 500 words and 50 diffs. Your presentation is over 900 words. Please edit your section to focus on the most relevant evidence. In order to determine the material that would be most useful for the case, you may wish to consult the guide to arbitration If you wish to submit over-length evidence, you must first obtain the agreement of the arbitrators by posting a request on the /Evidence talk page.

Hi Pldx1,

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. ''Your statement at the aforementioned case request comes across as incredibly inappropriate. It's not uncommon for users to appeal to the English ArbCom in good faith when they feel they don't have a recourse on their local project, and invoking imagery of colonialism when such an innocent situation arises defies WP:AGF, WP:NPA and WP:NOTFORUM. This type of conduct borders on being pointy. That's absolutely unacceptable, particularly for a formal venue such as ArbCom. Please refrain from making frivolous commentary going forward. Thank you.'' Swarm  talk  09:11, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Yangjae Station Graffiti Incident moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Yangjae Station Graffiti Incident, 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 " " 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.

Image source problem with File:MyLoveFromAnotherStar Camelia Tunnel.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:MyLoveFromAnotherStar Camelia Tunnel.JPG.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:18, 29 January 2019 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ron h jones (Talk) 20:18, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Template
So just so you understand, when a template gets deleted (as Template:TvN Monday-Tuesday Drama was) one of things that we do to be helpful is to remove the places it is being used. If you want to keep re-adding it to your page, knock yourself out. But the template doesn't exist anymore so not sure what you are hoping to achieve. -- Zack mann  (Talk to me/What I been doing) 21:25, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Comments vs statements
"Comment" and "Statement" have different specialised meanings at Arbcom. Posting a comment is a one-off observation; posting a statement makes you a part of the case, and means that should the case be open you get regular "the case in which you made a statement…" automated talk page updates. It's not such a major distinction nowadays as the caseload is so much lower there's no longer enough committee-generated talkpage spam to be a nuisance.

I have no particular pride in what the header is called, but I consider whether the clerks are allowed to rewrite other people's posts an important meta-issue. This is something they've never claimed the right to do before—five of the seven cases last years committee dealt with violated this "rule" about headers and nobody raised any concerns—and they're doing so this time on the argument that private discussions on the clerks-l mailing list have the authority to dictate Wikipedia policy, which is a horrible precedent to set. There's a lengthy thread here if you want to see the back-and-forth about it. ‑ Iridescent 08:21, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Joking aside, I recently helped Ansel Adams, a page with 550,000 pageviews per year, achieve GA status.

Next, I am working to raise Momentum to GA status - it is level 3 vital and has 630,000 views per year. But sometimes I choose to do something less important because it gives me satisfaction.

Sleeping Admins
The problem with an admin who sleeps for an extended period of time and then wakes up roughly is that Bayesian inference, that is, adjusting the assumptions to reflect what has actually been observed, is that the admin may be a black bear. It is well known that bears sometimes hibernate, and that their behavior is often unpredictable and dangerous. This is undesirable, because the usual assumption is that the admin is a great ape, and great apes do not hibernate. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:30, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Discrimination
I never said that the portal was being discriminated against. That's a reckless inflammatory miscontruction of anything I have said.

It's further insulting to call my effort on the page (as well as the infobox and other features) "fake" because it doesn't meet your elevated standards.

Deleting things is the easy part of maintaining an encyclopedia. The hard part is providing content. But there is never enough content to satisfy people. The work is unappreciated -- and now it's being insulted and lied about.

Apparently being respectful of other contributors is no longer a value around here.

- Keith D. Tyler &para; 00:00, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Dear User:KeithTyler. Using an inflammatory language like insulting, insulted and lied will not change the main fact: this object was not a portal, i.e. a tool providing a navigation into a given topic. From creation, 2007-09-21 03:32:00, till now there was 12 years long for someone to WP:SOFIXIT this draft. But nobody has done anything, and we were left with a draft with SIX articles, unchanged from 2008. This was not a main page for anything. Being respectful of the readers and not pretending that something is a navigation tool when it is not, should be a value. Pldx1 (talk) 07:39, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
 * If you don't think that WP:EQ should be among the subset of guidelines you choose to uphold, I guess there's not much I can do to convince you to respect others and their work. But calling others' effort and work "fake" (with, i might add, emphasis) and misrepresenting their statements is not germane to improving the encyclopedia, regardless of whether or not you like their contributions. It discourages contribution. Perhaps that's what you want. I don't see how it's beneficial. - Keith D. Tyler &para; 00:00, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

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

Hi there, the specific concerns I have with this article primary center on the absence of secondary sources. I generally give the benefit of the doubt where I can validate what an article says, but that is not the case here. I consider it possible that the issue is my ignorance of Korea, though, so I have added some wikilinks and minor copyedits, which I believe improve it. Feel free to ask any questions you may have, as I dislike deleting information and would like to help you. What I would like to see is some discussion of why this possible hoax is notable enough for the english wikipedia. The sources for this should preferably be online and in english, although neither is *required*; I emphasize this as it comes up frequently in the translations I work with. It just makes it easier to demonstrate notability. My usual response, by the way, to people who want to delete articles about Moroccan generals or whatever is to point out that wikipedia has articles on individual episodes of Pinky and the Brain, and do they really think that actual history is less important because it is in another language? I see something that is almost a reference, in the discussion of criticism, but the name and year were not enough for me, at least, to find it. The Google hits I got for both the publisher and this reference seemed to mostly be celebrities, but I realize that this is frequently the case with names that are common. The article came to my attention because it lacks categories; let me know if you need help giving it some. Likewise, if this was translated from the Korean wikipedia, this would help establish notability, but a template that would be required for copyright purposes isn't present. Let me know if you need help with that. If on the other hand the uncategorized bot scooped up an article that is still in progress, which does happen, feel free to remove the template, and keep working on it, and hopefully addressing some of these issues. Also, I mentioned translations -- we have an effort underway at WP:PNT and do not, as far as I know have anyone working on Korean; consider this an invitation if you are interested.

 * Just found the list of your body of work on your user page and am now assuming the above article is still in progress, but the offer of any help you may need still stands, as does the invitation to come help at PNT. Elinruby (talk) 23:10, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Gyeogam Yurok, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. --John B123 (talk) 17:58, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Gyeogam Yurok moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Gyeogam Yurok, is not suitable 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 " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. And so that you can address the issues which have been brough up multiple times. 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.

Non-free rationale for File:Fair use Tojeong.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Fair use Tojeong.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 17:00, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

It appears that this item has been returned to mainspace without much, if anything, in the way of improvement. There appear to be no sources and as such, and having previously been returned to draft for that reason the item may be liable to deletion unless sources can be added quite urgently. Wikipedia relies very much on reliable sources and articles which lack referencing are always going to be difficult to get accepted.

NB. The item has been tidied to be more in line with Wikipedia's coventions and / or the manual of style. Eagleash (talk) 11:10, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Dear User: Eagleash. Articles about an obviously notable topic are ever kept. Nevertheless, have a good luck at AfD if you ever try ! Pldx1 (talk) 13:03, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Articles without citations are rarely kept. I could have sent the item to AfD especially in view of the 'move-warring' (also noted in the thread above) but I gave you the chance to add citations, which you have done (after a fashion). However these have not been added correctly and the page is still flagged at 'new page patrol' as having no citations. referencing for beginners might be something you could read up on? WP:IMGLOC may also be something you should take a look at. The images are vastly oversized; Wikipedia is not a picture book and images are not typically left-located. It will be up to the reviewers at Commons to decide whether the images actually are public domain. Eagleash (talk) 15:37, 3 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Dear User: Eagleash. You seem annoyed by these pictures. You can ever check your luck and require their deletion at Commons. But, for your information, these images are there since 2013-02-07, with all the required copyright requirements. Concerning your remark about seniority, I remain amused: a newbie, being only there since 8 years, 7 months and 19 days lecturing someone who is here since 23 October 2009. Perhaps could you read up some more of the proverbial letter soup ? Pldx1 (talk) 16:11, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I am not annoyed by the images but they are however, misplaced, oversized and in contravention of WP:IMGLOC generally. I made no reference to seniority merely referred you to the guide to adding references as you seem to need to gen up on this. As you know seniority has no relevance on Wikipedia and length of service does not necessarily equate to useful contributions. Submitting a sub-standard article with basic errors does not reflect well on an editor generally, especially if it looks to experienced reviewers (who try to assist you), like the work of a 'newbie', as you put it. Finally I'd really rather appreciate it if we could consider this matter done with and move on. I have plenty of other new articles to consider. Eagleash (talk) 17:31, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Shadowless Pagoda (1957).jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Shadowless Pagoda (1957).jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 20:30, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
