False claims
You have accused me of "unexplained content removal". I explained my edit perfectly clearly and linked to the policies and guidelines I was following. Did you somehow fail to notice that? Or do you just like reverting edits and do not care whether your "reason" is accurate or not? 217.195.251.12 (talk) 04:41, 11 October 2023 (UTC)


 * I highly recommend you stop edit warring. You are dangerously close to being blocked. Also calling other editors "incompetent" can be construed as a personal attack.  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 04:42, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
 * You are edit warring. You have reverted my edit for literally no reason, while falsely accusing me of not explaining it. That is a disgusting way to behave. 217.195.251.12 (talk) 04:45, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello.
Hi, I'm trying to create a page on Wikipedia and it won't let me. I was wondering if you would create the page "I Love You, I'm Trying", or if i could just use a draft, but i also can't upload a image for the infobox album template. Is there any way you could help? ItsKaiaFrr (talk) 18:40, 7 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!
 * The reason you cannot create an article is because you are not autoconfirmed, which is gained after having an account for 4 days, AND having 10 edits. I won't be creating the article page for you, because depending on what you write, it could just be speedy deleted. What I suggest you do, is start an article in the Draft namespace. People will usually not touch stuff there, except for egregious policy violations, like BLP, or other stuff like that. That way, you can work on your article for as long as you'd like. The only catch is, if there has not been an edit to your draft in 6 months, it gets deleted as an inactive draft. The location of where you would put your draft would be here at Draft:I Love You, I'm Trying. Regarding not being able to upload an image, not being autoconfirmed is the same reason. You can go through the files for upload process, just make sure the image you use has no copyright issues, and is able to be used in the public domain. Happy editing!

 * Thank you! ItsKaiaFrr (talk) 19:06, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok, you're right I'm allowed to make the page now! Thanks so much. ItsKaiaFrr (talk) 17:06, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I've created the page. If I have done anything wrong or cited anything incorrectly please tell me! ItsKaiaFrr (talk) 04:31, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Far Out (website); wp:promotion issue
Regarding this edit that you reverted, this user replaced it again. I had to revert theirs again today.

Persons who use Wikipedia as a platform for wp:promotion and are linked to a brand, are not allowed to contribute on an encyclopedia, it is in our rules/ This user along with this ip  added exactly the same promotional content on the same day. Iennes (talk) 16:50, 19 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello ,
 * I mean, I'm not sure why I'm being told this, I only saw it through recent changes patrolling (RCP), I mean, not to be rude, but it kind of sounds like you're lecturing me on our policies. As somebody with almost 32,000 edits, I would know! Just my two cents. Thank you for the notification, but I'm just unclear what it is you are trying to tell me.  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 21:21, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

I am trying to surprise my friend on her birthday so please for just one day don't remove it please. I will remove it tomorrow myself Urworstnightmare is here (talk) 19:00, 30 October 2023 (UTC)


 * We cannot allow that. We are not going to set a page to something just because you want to. Other people are going to read that page and get really confused. Thank you.  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 19:02, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Your friend has our best wishes, but Wikipedia is not your playground. It is an encyclopedia and should remain as such. If you would like to contribute in an encyclopedic manner, please do, but do not use it for such frivolity. Kind regards, W. Tell DCCXLVI ( talk to me!/c ) 19:03, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

October 2023
Hello, and thank you for removing vandalism from Percy Jackson & the Olympians. We appreciate this, but unfortunately your edit was not successful in restoring the article to its pre-vandalised state. For future reference, it is better to deal with vandalism by checking the article's [ page history] to determine how it appeared before it was vandalised. You can then restore the whole article, or the relevant part of it, to an appropriate earlier version. If you simply delete the visible vandalism then any content removed or overwritten by the vandal is lost. See How to deal with vandalism for details. Thank you.  -  Sumanuil  '''.

 * , hello, just a reminder to please do not template the regulars. I've been around for a while, almost 10 years in fact, over 32,000 edits. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing. A nice gentle talk page message would have been fine! Thanks. Regarding the edit, that's the only one that popped up in Huggle.  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 22:54, 23 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Admittedly, the vandalism was inside of a reference in the middle of a bunch of legit edits, but we all need a reminder now and then. And there's also an essay that says "do template the regulars".  -  Sumanuil  .  (talk to me) 23:02, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I will mention that when doing RCP with Huggle, as soon as you revert an edit, it immediately goes to the next edit for review, so that's the reason why some vandalism already on the page goes missed at times.  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 23:04, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Hello IP,
 * We don't know that. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, so we can't assume that will happen yet. Unless you have a reliable source that says it is going to be defunct, then we can't say anything about it yet. Hope this helps.  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 20:08, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Sandboxes
Hi Yoshi

Just got a message about editing Module:Module_sandbox/sandbox etc.. This is the right place when running test cases that need templates with respective sandboxes isn't it? As I understand it you can't use the main Wikipedia sandbox for that kind of testing. Is that OK?

Thanks 5.64.158.190 (talk) 18:50, 28 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey IP:
 * I don't know if you saw it or not, or maybe I was too late, I reverted myself because I accidentally reverted before seeing it was a sandbox. I retracted your warning already like 10 seconds after my edit, but I guess I must've missed you seeing it. That's my apologies. I said "oops sorry!" in my edit summaries, not sure if you saw those.  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 18:52, 28 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Oh right, yeah I saw it, sorry! Wasn't sure if you were a machine or something! The setup's odd because the Module:Sandbox is to be used as a namespace, so you need Module:Module_sandbox, but then this sandbox has its own Module "sandbox", then for the testcase templates you need a sandbox Template and a sandbox Template's sandbox, then an ordinary sandbox to reference it in. Mind boggling! Anyway, sorry for the confusion. Thanks.5.64.158.190 (talk) 19:03, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Hello ,
 * As it says in the giant yellow box when editing or viewing this page "please cite your sources in the page or article you edited." Bringing them here doesn't help. You need to cite your sources IN your edit. Bringing them to me doesn't help very much as it does not explain anything. Best of luck.  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 04:29, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Question from Ibibionation (23:41, 3 November 2023)
Hello, I want to upload a profile or article on Wikipedia --Ibibionation (talk) 23:41, 3 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I would suggest you read this Wikipedia article about creating your first article on Wikipedia to get a feel of what we are looking for. You can always create a draft if you think you want to work on your article, but you feel it is not quite ready for article space yet. I highly recommend you start your article as a draft unless what you write is notable in some way, has references/reliable sources to back it up, and written in a professional tone, written for an encyclopedia. Otherwise, start it as a draft. Hope this helps, and happy editing!  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 00:22, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Question from GPG Communications (10:23, 4 November 2023)
Hi Yoshi, I am currently drafting an article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Government_People_Group) on the Government People Group.

I am closely related to this organisation and have made every effort to use purely factual and nuetral language. I was hoping you may be over to look over my work and maybe add any pointers of where I could have done better.

Equally if you think I have been nuetral, endorsing the language used in the Talk page, would allow me to delete the "this article needs to be checked" thing at the top. Thanks for your help :) --GPG Communications (talk) 10:23, 4 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello ,
 * Thank you for disclosing as per our COI policies! I appreciate you for that. However, there is another problem with your account, as your username seems to represent part of an organization, as your username implies shared use, which we cannot allow as per our username policy. We only allow a single individual per account. I would highly suggest you change your username to represent you individually, and not as an organization, otherwise you may be blocked until you change your username. Seeing your recent edits, the COI declaration on your user page should still stand. Please take this advice and do with it as you see fit. Happy editing. Let me know if you have any more questions.  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 16:19, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Just saw that you said you were requesting a username change. That's great! Thank you! Regarding your draft, I would read the comments left, and try to incorporate their suggestions. Hope this helps!  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 16:21, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Hey, Yoshi! After reading through your Wikipedia information for Eagles/Panthers football player Brett Toth, I have an edit. You said: he currently serves in a similar role at Temple University.[3]. He is no longer at the ROTC Program at the Temple University Army ROTC Program in Philadelphia, PA. He has since done two things. He is no longer in the Army as he got out in August of 2023 and he has moved to Carolina as he is now a Panther. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:4040:A055:3000:5914:3D3D:B63E:E9D9 (talk) 13:03, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello yes, I was at Allenwood penitentiary and knew David Hammer. He murdered Andrew Marti in the cell beneath me.

In my book is the proof I was there. I know the Hammer story intimately, and if given time can do the research and provide the citations and references you are seeking.

 * Since you said you know him yourself, that means that statement has no proof other than from you yourself. What this means, is your statement is original research. What this means, is that your statement is a statement for which no reliable source exists for it. We can only really publish stuff that has a reliable source for it. If you can find a reliable source that proves that statement, you are welcome to put it in the article. See this article for more information on what I am talking about, because this can be confusing at times. If you need help on wanting to know what a reliable source is that you can use, this article is a good start. Hope this helps!  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( On Vacation ) 20:24, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Message from IP 189.202.90.161
I posted this somewhere else but I don’t really underhand how this page work so I wanted to dent the reply to your message here.

I removed the content cause I am John Yurnet (Mechawolf) and there was never any incident with Ivelisse ever. Also the information you posted about Lindsey snow and myself is all wrong so I removed it. She doesn’t want that information in her Wikipedia and neither do I. I hope that makes sense and you understand 189.202.90.161 (talk) 00:05, 28 November 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.202.90.161 (talk)
 * Hi IP. She nor you does not get to say what goes on her article page. If it's sourced, it can stay. Just because she doesn't want it does not mean you or her can remove it. If you disagree with it, you can start a discussion on the talk page of the article to get consensus to remove it, but until then, it has to stay. This is an encyclopedia. I hope you understand.  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Very Busy ) 00:16, 28 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I do underhand that a lot of the information about myself is wrong including ring names and when I debuted. This is An encyclopedia with a lot of wrong information… I never had any altercation with Ivelisse and there’s no source to back that claim up either I don’t know where that came from. I was just showed all this and instead of being exited I was embarrassed by all the negativity posted about myself on my own Wikipedia. It’s not right specially when I don’t even know how any of this stuff works. Never seen any of this stuff in my life 189.202.90.161 (talk) 00:27, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Question from A8 Real (04:48, 9 December 2023)
my article's name is "User:A8Real" How to change it ? --A8 Real (talk) 04:48, 9 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! That page you are talking about, is not an article, per se, it is your user page. That is the page to tell a little bit about yourself. Unfortunately, it cannot be changed, the only way to do that would be to request a username change. If you would like to do that, let me know, and I can direct you to the proper place to request a name change. Articles don't have a prefix in front of it (for example, like User:). Hope this helps, and happy editing!  Yoshi24517  ( Chat ) ( Online ) 07:15, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Question from Sameer.Indian (06:22, 10 December 2023)
Hi, I have an upcoming Hindi Movie, currently it's in post production stage. I want to write Wikipedia about it. Can you help me do it? --Sameer.Indian (talk) 06:22, 10 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! That's great! If I understand correctly, you would like to make an article about it. That is possible, if there is significant coverage about your upcoming movie. We require some reliable sources that talks about your upcoming movie. In addition, we have some general notability guidelines specifically for films that we must follow to create an article about a film. These guidelines can be found here at this page here: WP:NFILM. That will tell you everything you need to create a film-based article.
 * Now, you mention that this is your movie, which means you may have a possible conflict of interest. What this means, is that the person writing the article knows everything about the article in question, and may write about the subject of the article in a positive light, which is something we try to avoid. Wikipedia has a policy to write all articles with a neutral point of view, to avoid bias. I would recommend reading the conflict of interest page I linked above to help you understand what we mean by this.
 * In the meantime, if you really wanted to start an article, and you have sources as I linked above, then it would be best to start it in the Draft: namespace. That way, you can work on your draft, for as long as you want, and other editors tend to not touch drafts, unless they absolutely have to. The only caveat is, if drafts have not been edited for 6 months straight, they get deleted. So if you start a draft, you must continue to work on it.
 * Hope this helps, and happy editing! If you have any other questions, you can ask me here, or go to the Teahouse, which is a good place for newer editors to ask questions. Happy editing!  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 07:24, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

J V Durden Article
You recently removed my editing from the above article due to the lack of citations.

Thank you 81.5.129.49 (talk) 20:55, 29 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi IP. We cannot allow that because that would be original research. Since this is an encyclopedia, our readers need to know where we get our information from. We cannot take your word for it, because we don't know if you are telling the truth or not. Think about it this way: You expect us to believe you are their daughter? Everything needs a source. WP:V explains this further. Now, if you can provide those reliable sources, that would be great!

Question from Ediscola (07:51, 30 December 2023)
Hello --Ediscola (talk) 07:51, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Why the Chinese stated-owned rating agency (China Chengxin) must be on the list??
Wouldn't you mind telling me why it is not allowed to alter, modify, or delete any information related to China Chengxin, a state-owned Chinese company under any circumstances?

Could you please explain to me why any attempt to do so even if I wrote down my reason for doing this, such as editing or removing that Chinese stated-owned company from the article, is considered disruptive editing, regardless of whether the information is outdated (note: the list is completely outdated) or unavailable in English (i.e., only simplified Chinese available) on the company's website??

174.115.165.23 (talk) 01:00, 30 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Because its a list of countries and their credit rating. None of us are not sure of your reasoning as to why it should be removed. Just because its in a different language does not mean it can't be included. We have references in many, many articles that are in a different language. We just make a note that its in a different language. Also, I would suggest retracting your threat, as you are already edit-warring, and would likely lead you to get blocked.  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 01:05, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Do you think all English Wikipedia readers would accept an outdated list of countries in this article (i.e. from 2012), which is over 10 years old? Would English readers be able to refer to, check, and read the company's website in simplified Chinese characters to verify? Thank you. 174.115.165.23 (talk) 01:14, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * So we would put that the reference is in Chinese. That's all there is to it.  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 01:18, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I am pleased that you mentioned references. Does the list provide any references?  The website is entirely in Chinese, so how can we verify the accuracy of the country information provided?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.115.165.23 (talk) 01:22, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Certainly I can explain a little bit. In the reference template, we can add a parameter that says, which makes it say in the reference list that it is "in Chinese". We will usually use translation software to verify it.  Yoshi24517  ( Chat ) ( Online ) 01:26, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * A translation engine is just a robot. Its technology is not mature enough, so just because it gives you a translation doesn't mean it's correct and reliable.
 * I have already checked the website carefully using a translation machine. I found that all the information (i.e. the table listing the country ratings in this article) was out of date and completely incorrect.174.115.165.23 (talk) 01:34, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Can you find a more up to date version?  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 01:36, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Late edit: After some digging around, I did find a more up to date version. See here:, this one references 2022-23. It's the same website. You can update the article with this one. Just make sure to update the reference with this one. Hope this helps!  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 01:42, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Let me answer your question.
 * All the ratings have been drastically changed.
 * All the information and figures in the table of countries with credit ratings provided by China Chengxin from the article are completely wrong and outdated. Not a single figure or rating in the table in the article is correct.  I don't understand why you or another editor didn't allow me to remove it.  The inclusion of that table is misleading and unnecessary. And it is not my responsibility to correct them all into a correct number.  As soon as I found out that this figure is not true, update and the website is not a reliable source and widely accepted, it should be removed from this article.  What is your specific reason for keeping this Chinese company in this article?
 * As the company's website doesn't provide a full list of countries with a credit rating, I couldn't edit the table in the article one by one. Therefore, as the data in this article is older than 2012, it should be removed as no one wants to edit it.  Also, the rating agency's website only offers the Chinese version, which is a good reason why the company is not well enough known globally to be included in the Wikepeida article.
 * China Chengxin is not only NOT recognised by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (NRSRO), it is also not an acceptable rating agency in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
 * You mentioned that this site provides up-to-date information for me to edit.  However, this site only provides a list of credit ratings of Chinese companies or enterprises, no country credit ratings have been given. 174.115.165.23 (talk) 02:24, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Did I not link the countries page? I thought I linked the countries page.Yoshi24517 (mobile) (talk) ( Online ) 02:32, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Edit: Oh I see, so when I was on the page, I guess it just redirects to default page. Translate the page, there is a section on sovereign countries. Sorry about that! Yoshi24517 (mobile) (talk) ( Online ) 02:34, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Is that a little-known company from China and misleading table something you intend to keep in the article forever even no one has edited it since 2018?
 * Who's going to maintain Wikipedia's article's credibility, reliability, and accuracy while you refused to let me remove that table and the Chinese company?
 * Do you still think that the company is appropriate to be listed in the article alongside highly reputable companies like Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch?
 * What you did to me have caused significant harm to the credibility of Wikipedia and have discouraged editors from actively participating in the platform. As a result, I have lost faith in the reliability of the information presented on Wikipedia and would caution against its use in the future. I would not recommend anyone I know to use it.  174.115.165.23 (talk) 03:52, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I was just trying to get you to update it with a newer stats, but I guess since it is really that outdated, thats fine, I guess we can just remove it. After thinking about it for a whole, you make a lot of sense. I will go and revert myself. Apologies for all the hassle. I still would suggest you retract your threat on the article talk page. Just a note, if anybody else reverts me, that’s on them, I’m sure they will have a reason for doing so, and will be their edit and not mine. Happy editing.

dark honeybee page
Hi Yoshi, I have now put reasoning behind my edits of the dark honeybee page. it is full of inaccurate information written by somebody highly biased against the dark bee. I have only deleted content I know to have factual errors. When I ahve more time I will try to improve the page BlackBeeEnthusiast (talk) 01:19, 30 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, thank you for taking the time to reply, but why are you deleting sourced information, linked to reliable sources? I spy many reliable sources there, such as an academic journal as one of them.  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 01:21, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes but the interpretation of what is written in those resources is incorrect. BlackBeeEnthusiast (talk) 12:08, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Just for some context relating the actions of Yoshi24517; I have observed in the past that it is not uncommon for someone on the Beekeeping in Ireland page to just delete the Sources (listed in the References section)! For reasons I'm not clear on, many beekeepers in the British Isles which promote the A. m. mellifera do not like scientific articles. For example, BlackBeeEnthusiast uses the name "Black Bee", they are referring to the A. m. mellifera, whenever research I believe published in 2020, using Irish and British A. m. mellifera, showed that the bees we not dark (black) but in fact distinctly coloured.

 * Ah., thank you for the explanation, that helps a lot. I'm sure this is going to be a long edit war, but I am not going to partake in it. thanks for letting me know. (P.S. you linked me wrong, you linked my username as an article, not the User page, but its irrelevant, because I get notified when my talk page is edited anyways. :) )  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 18:44, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Anthony Dias Blue
Hello - My name is Toby Blue and I have been attempting to edit my father’s wiikipedia page. He died on 12/25/23 and the citation is from the family. Can you please confirm and publish? 2603:8000:B000:42A4:301A:445:606:51A6 (talk) 05:22, 30 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello IP, do you have another source from a reliable source that also proves he died as well? What we can accept as primary sources depends as well.  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 18:45, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

115 central park west entry
hi, I am new to trying to edit, so I can understand getting some feedback. I linked to an auction site because the photo in the link showed Lansky's bank statement from 1936 with the address on it. I thought that was good source reference. Ethics and finance (talk) 08:51, 30 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, I would try to find a standalone picture. Linking an auction site does not really help, and can be seen as linkspam. I would try and find another picture, that is in the public domain, or you have permission to upload in the public domain. Hope this helps!

Gateshead
Hello

Apologies, I am new to Wikipedia. I did not mean to remove your edit, I meant to simply add my own and the Demographics tab for Gateshead disappeared. I noticed there wasn't much about the Orthodox Jewish community in there and wanted to add some information and sources.

Thanks

Living Person Page Edits
Hi,

You responded to my edits on a living person's Wikipedia page. The person in question is my boss, who is upset that his birth year is wrong. What sources would I need to get this change approved? 136.167.106.251 (talk) 20:52, 8 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Anywhere that can be used as a reliable source, that shows that he was born in 1956, and not 1957. The sources must not be connected to him, they must be independent of them. Hope that helps.  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 20:54, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Stormont castle
I had seen someone remove the information of it being home to the northern ireland executive. You later reverted it and i’d like to ask why as “Stormont Castle” isn’t home to the northern ireland executive but rather a castle on the stormont estate 149.50.166.47 (talk) 23:08, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello how do you edit in Wikipedia --Man Citywide (talk) 20:41, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from CharlesBNB (23:42, 17 January 2024)
Hello Mentor, is there a way to expedite the review process for my pending page so that moderators or volunteers can assess it sooner? Thanks!! --CharlesBNB (talk) 23:42, 17 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Did you create a draft and send it through the Article for Creation process? If so, there is no way we can expedite the review. It could take minutes, or it could take weeks. If you saw, there are 3,000+ submissions awaiting review as well, so other drafts along with yours are also awaiting review. All you can really do is wait patiently. Sorry about that! However, you will be notified on your user talk page, the results of the review, when your draft gets reviewed. Hope this helps, and happy editing!  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Online ) 23:58, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your prompt response @Yoshi24517. I understand.CharlesBNB (talk) 00:00, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
