Hello, TsipiMagen. In John Rawls you changed all "Rawls's" to "Rawls'", but either way is defensible: MOS:POSS. So, if you have a strong preference for "Rawls'", please take it to Talk. Wikiain (talk) 23:24, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Mostly I have a preference for a consistent format within a single article. It's confusing to see both Rawls' and Rawls's within the same paragraph. Beyond that, I can live with either form. TMagen (talk) 12:11, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Likewise - and that is the advice of MOS:POSS. The article mostly had Rawls's and I've changed the few Rawls' to Rawls's. Wikiain (talk) 23:24, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Discussion involving transgender issues
You may want to be aware of and possibly join in: Village pump (policy)/Archive 121. Skyerise (talk) 07:03, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

MOS:IDENTITY is being revisited: How should Wikipedia refer to transgender individuals before and after their transition?
You are being contacted because you contributed to a recent discussion of MOS:IDENTITY that closed with the recommendation that Wikipedia's policy on transgender individuals be revisited.

Two threads have been opened at the Village Pump:Policy. The first addresses how the Manual of Style should instruct editors to refer to transgender people in articles about themselves (which name, which pronoun, etc.). The second addresses how to instruct editors to refer to transgender people when they are mentioned in passing in other articles. Your participation is welcome.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and 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 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 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 Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 03:05, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

AfroCine: The Months of African Cinema Continues….
Greetings!

Thank you very much for signing up to participate in the Months of African Cinema global contest/edit-a-thon, and thank you for your contributions so far.

It is already the middle of the contest and a lot have been achieved already! We have been able to get over 200 articles created in over seven (7) languages! The figures soars to up to a thousand, if Wikidata entries are included. Furthermore, there have been about 5 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians in different countries across the world to create articles about African(a) cinema!

We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!


 * Article suggestions can be found here. You can also add to this list.
 * Some notable reliable sources for African cinema can be found here. Again, this list needs expansion.
 * Interested in Wikidata translation? check out the Occupation Drive, which is being led by Wiki Loves Women, in support of the contest and the project!
 * Please remember to list articles you have created or improved in the Article Achievements section of the contest page, so that they can be easily tracked.

Thank you once again for being part of this global event!

Kind regards.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 22:50, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Mizrahi feminism moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Mizrahi feminism, 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.

 * Hi and thanks :) Is there any way to indicate that maybe 20% is translation and the rest was me? TMagen (talk) 18:01, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I added the translation template because you stated in your first edit summary that you were translating the article. I guess you just have to use your judgement as to whether the template should be added, and I know no way to qualify it. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:17, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

File:Love Trilogy-Chained.png
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

License tagging for File:I Still Hide To Smoke.PNG
Thanks for uploading File:I Still Hide To Smoke.PNG. 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, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Carmen Elmakiyes


A tag has been placed on Carmen Elmakiyes, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Cabayi (talk) 07:30, 3 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Most other times I'd tag the article for improvement. However, given that she's a candidate in an election happening next week, that she fails WP:NPOL as an unelected candidate, and the focus of the article is on her political attributes, it's clearly an advert. After the election things will be different, as will your urge to create the biography I suspect. Cabayi (talk) 07:35, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * No - it isn't an advert. I don't even consider her standing for election to be very important, she is not in a realistic position to be elected, and I do not intend to vote for her party myself (so I wouldn't do a political advert). The Israeli electorate does not read English wiki, and she has had a Hebrew wiki article for several years now - with most of the exact same information as in this article. Her notability is not as an elected candidate, but because she is one of the leading social activists in Israel, and is in the news continually - and has been since 2012. She is primarily a Mizrahi social activist, not a politician, and THAT is the focus of the article, not "political attributes". She has been either the leading figure, or one of a small group, in several "burning" Mizrahi social issues since 2011, and that made her notable long before this election - which she became a part of only a few weeks ago. The proximity of this article to the election is entirely coincidental - as I have only started seriously editing in English for the past 6 weeks or so - and I have a list of Israeli feminist, filmmakers, poets, and social activists I am working my way through.


 * As for improvement - as someone who has been translating articles from English wikipedia for many years - what isn't encyclopedic here? There are no superlatives (unlike many wiki articles) no opinions (likewise) nothing unsourced, the sources are mostly major media venues and government protocols... Nothing in the article is likely to be factually contested (for the reasons I listed, and also because they aren't generally considered divisive. So if you could be more specific, and not wrongly assuming this is an article about a politician, that would be very helpful. TMagen (talk) 07:48, 3 April 2019 (UTC)


 * As I said, it's down to the timing. Had this been created before the election was called I wouldn't bat an eyelid. After the election I would have little problem with it. Creating it now, during the campaign, for an unelected candidate, that's a problem. Cabayi (talk) 07:55, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I understand your reasoning,, but I have removed the tag because I don't think it's unquestionably promotion. I think it merits a deletion discussion. Deb (talk) 08:07, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the removal, but it someone else agrees that the timing is an issue, I am okay with putting it in a sandbox until next Wednesday when the election results are in. It really wasn't an intentional act, just unfortunate timing. TMagen (talk) 08:11, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay, it's now at Draft:Carmen Elmakiyes for the time being. Deb (talk) 11:49, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks & TM, that resolves my issues. We really ought to have some kind of Purdah process, but this looks a good outcome. Cabayi (talk) 21:14, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Just to clarify for a passer-by, is the idea and  that you agree she's likely notable but that, given the timing of current events, it's best to keep her out of mainspace to avoid the appearance of promotion? That's what I'm getting from the above conversation, although perhaps it's not so clear that everyone agrees on the subject's notability. ~ Amory  (u • t • c) 11:16, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I think it's more to avoid a dispute at the moment. If and when she is elected, she'll become notable by default. Otherwise, we can have further discussion. I haven't said that I think she's notable now, only that the article isn't eligible for speedy deletion. Deb (talk) 11:26, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

 * I am aware of the draft's existence. Please note also that I am the main author of Draft:Rachel Jones - the original contribution is minor, and I wanted to write about the director, and was informed that a draft already exists. Because it was already submitted for consideration, and I am less familiar with enwiki rules than hewiki (where most of my experience is) I contributed to the draft rather than writing my own article. Was that a mistake? Should I just take my contributions and write a new article? TMagen (talk) 19:11, 12 September 2019 (UTC)


 * , that's fine for Rachel Jones to modify the existing draft. I was just wondering if that was done for Advocate or whether you wrote it regardless of that draft's existence.  AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 19:21, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

 * But regarding Rachel Jones, I am concerned about the template of undisclosed paid contribution. TMagen (talk) 19:24, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , you can do the scrubbing of the Jones article for neutrality then and then add to the connected contributor paid template on the talk page that you checked the article. Then the UDP tag can be removed. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 19:27, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

Unblock please
331dot, This is the message:

You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia. You are still able to view pages, but you are not currently able to edit, move, or create them.

Editing from 85.115.44.0/22 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s): Server-multiple.svgThe IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

However - my IP is 77.125.44.172

What is going on? TMagen (talk) 16:28, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * The fact that the IPs are different would suggest that you are using a VPN or proxy, you will need to turn it off in order to edit. 331dot (talk) 16:45, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not - I just restarted my computer and didn't open any programs other than my browser in order to check it. The only VPN I ever use is my work VPN, and it doesn't mask my IP anyway. TMagen (talk) 16:53, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * 331dot I also restarted my internet so I'm on a diff ip address now, and I'm still blocked... 77.126.118.74 TMagen (talk) 17:03, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * The 85 IP comes up as a Forcepoint-Cloud-ES webhost. Have you changed any aspect of your editing habits since January 21(when you last edited before today), such as your physical location (I don't need to know specifically where you are)? 77.126.118.74 is also not blocked. 331dot (talk) 17:05, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * 331dot - Okay, now we're getting somewhere - That IS work related... Though I am not connected to work right now (I'm home) and also I'm not sure why my work-related address should be blocked either... What can I do about this? Is there any way to unblock the ip or make an exception? It's a well-regarded international company, not a hack farm or anything shady. TMagen (talk) 17:12, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It's going to be a couple hours before I can look at this further, if you want you can make another unblock request and someone else might be able to look at it sooner. 331dot (talk) 17:18, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * 331dot, thank you, I can wait. I'd rather not open multiple conversations. TMagen (talk) 17:27, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * As you have an extensive edit history, I've given you an IP block exemption for 6 months. If this problem recurs, we can look at it again. 331dot (talk) 21:55, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * 331dot, thank you! TMagen (talk) 22:42, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

331dot - as you can see this has happened again. I'd appreciate an unblock... Cheers, TMagen (talk) 11:49, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Every IP you have pointed out so far is part of Forcepoint, they seem to have several different networks, so going through each one and reducing the blocks is impractical. IPBE is better here. The problem is, I only have you editing from one of those ranges ever, which means I can't verify if it's appropriate to give IPBE in first place. Are you sure you are disabling this software properly? Because if so, you should be on a residential range very easily. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 16:38, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * (aka DQ) Yes, now I'm getting a block from home as well. Message reads: "Editing from 85.115.44.0/22 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):..." Not the same IP, still blocked. So can I get a block exemption? TMagen (talk) 17:06, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Every IP you listed is using Forcepoint VPN, there was no regular IPs. It's blocked because it's a VPN, and people use that to hide sockpuppets, as it hides their real IP and location. Policies like WP:PROXY and NOP govern this. I would normally take your editing history into account and just give it on that based on hewiki but you are indefinitely blocked there. While I can't fully understand why, there is a clear allegation that you used User:Tempest 88 in violation of their sock policy, and now potentially in violation of our policies without us knowing. So your good standing to apply for IPBE (a block exemption) doesn't exist at the moment. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 17:18, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I understand your position, however I am connected to IP 77.127.98.41, not the one listed. Why would my work IP appear to you when I am at home? TMagen (talk) 10:39, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, the first Forcepoint IP was not a VPN but our company's on-premises server. TMagen (talk) 10:40, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Every edit that you have made is coming from the Fairpoint servers, not 77.127.98.41. If you were editing from 77.127.98.41, you would not have a block affecting you. There is no VPN/Server on that IP. If you can make an edit from home, like that 77 IP, then i'd be happy to consider IPBE for work after dealing with the potential sock issue.
 * And if you work at Fairpoint or a subsidiary, then yes, it would not be a VPN/proxy for you, but it would be for everyone that doesn't work at that company. I hope that provides clarity. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 21:14, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Please unblock IP

 * 157.167.3.2 is not blocked. Is there a specific IP (or range) mentioned in the block message?

Usually, the message will look something like this (in this example, I'm using Opera's built-in VPN):

 * User:Sandstein - how are my synopses violations? I wrote them, I didn't copy them!

<div class="user-block" style="padding: 5px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; border: 1px solid #a9a9a9; background-color: #ffefd5; min-height: 40px"> You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission.

 * See my detailed explanation at: : ":, see WP:CLOP. You copied whole sentences and turns of phrases, which is a copyright violation. In the first example, from, this is no longer apparent since somebody has now removed the text you copied from that wiki. But your copyright violation that I removed here can still be seen here. For example, among many other examples, you copied the first two sentences verbatim, without marking them as a quotation: "It has been two months since Mahit Dzmare and Three Seagrass foiled an attempted military coup on Teixcalaan—though they may have started a war to do it. Dzmare is back on her native Lsel Station, among her people but unsure if she still belongs there."

Unblock please
I was blocked summarily without any opportunity for discussion, which is extreme. The long version:

I was blocked because user:Sandstein does not believe I intend to honor copyright, and required that I convince him otherwise, but he is not answering my emails. Allow me to present my case:

The first incident, which you can see above, was about the synopsis of The Starless Sea. This was 100% my bad, and was published by mistake. When I'm editing I often copy paragraphs onto my desktop for reference, and I saved it thinking I had already edited that section. I am sorry for that.

But here is a copyright analysis of The Bone Shard Daughter - there is no part of what was erased that is actually a copyright violation. Nothing was erased from the original, it is my synopsis.

https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&title=The+Bone+Shard+Daughter&oldid=1019075674&action=search&use_engine=1&use_links=1&turnitin=0

Regarding Desolation - the first two sentences are close to the original, but the rest of what what was removed isn't, and so this is a disproportionate response. The two sentences are easily fixed.

https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&title=&oldid=1019474531&action=search&use_engine=1&use_links=1&turnitin=0

In any event, I am now familiar with the Copyvio Detector tool, and I commit to using it for any future edits, to avoid mistakes or misunderstandings, because I really do take this issue seriously.

TMagen (talk) 11:11, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , it is good to hear that you aim to take copyright more seriously in the future. But above you continue to assert that you did not commit copyright violations, and characterize my block as "excessive and mistaken".
 * This is only true in part. It appears that my removal of your addition to The Bone Shard Daughter was a false positive because it matched text in a website that seems to copy its content from Wikipedia. Sorry about that. But at least your edits to The Starless Sea and A Desolation Called Peace were copyright violations because they copied somebody else's content verbatim. Not every copyright violation, particularly not close paraphrasing, can be detected by an automated tool, so don't rely on that. Instead, write all content in your own words. Don't copy anything, use only brief quotes and mark them as such.
 * I'm unblocking you for the time being, but will keep an eye on your edits and will re-block you if I see you commiting another copyright violation.  Sandstein   11:35, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I appreciate it very much, and promise you that I will take proper care with this. TMagen (talk) 12:12, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Question about African Cinema Global Contest deadline
Hello TMagen! Seeing as you are one of the contest's juries, I thought you'd be the right person to ask.

Will the contest end when the target of 1000 created articles is reached, or at the end of this month?

Thanks for your time! Moonswimmer Mooonswimmer
 * Hi Mooonswimmer :) I'm so glad you are participating in AfroCine! I have not been active in this year's contest, and I probably should not have been listed on the jury... I think Jamie Tubers can answer your question. Cheers, TMagen (talk) 12:56, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Afrocine Jury Process
Hello TMagen, thanks for showing interest in being a jury member of the Afrocine contest. The review process starts soon and I am the head of the jury process. I would love to have your email address for easy communication in assigning articles to you. Send a mail to swiftlampard@yahoo.com for more details. Many thanks.

Proposed deletion of Kim Michele Richardson


The article Kim Michele Richardson has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Does not appear to meet the Notability standard. Also, since May 2021, a warning that the major contributor to this article has a close connection with its subject. Strong possibility of COI or paid editing occurring; current discussion at Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest; thread: Kim Michele Richardson"

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.

Bechdel test and Wikidata
Hello TMagen! I found this and I am very interested in the topic. How is it going with adding Bechdel test status to the wikidata and showing the result in film cards on Wikipedias? Did you or somebody else made films sortable by Bechdel test criteria? I don't work with cards a lot, but the function you described is essential :) And if so, where can I find relatable information? Thank you for any answer, Franzekafka (talk) 17:30, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
