I am taking it to mean that you do not stand by your revert of my tagging and will be replacing the citation needed tag. The sentence that follows the one in question is indeed cited, but that source fails verification. If you do not want to do as my tagging suggests, then fine, but the referencing in that article mostly fails RS and the attention of other editors needs to be drawn to the article. Please note that both the Holocaust and the Armenian genocide fall under the contentious topic guidelines. Thank you. Elinruby ( talk) 00:07, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

I was RC patrolling and found a bunch of pretty explicit Japanese Nationalist and Yamato Supremacist content on Soh Ohba and tried to remove it but an IP just put it back up. Its not strict vandalism so I can't just take it back down without violating 3rr. I am still relatively new to wikipedia and am not very well versed in the nuances of WP:DUE, WP:NPOV, etc and honestly I don't have the emotional energy to deal with this properly, but just ignoring it would damage the integrity of the project. I am reaching out to you because of your presence on the Nazi Affiliation task force, and as its subject area is tangential to these issues I am hoping that you are more knowledgeable and better equipped (and willing) to deal with this. — FenrisAureus ▼ (she/they) ( talk) 04:28, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, dropping by because another editor recently drew my attention to this discussion, specifically the portion about image licensing. I wanted to clarify that PD-US is not a requirement for all images on the Commons; rather it’s one of many legitimate licenses for the Commons. It means that an image has no US copyright restrictions whatsoever. But some restrictions are compatible with use on the Commons and thus other WMF sites, like several Creative Commons licenses. Many Flickr images can be imported for instance despite not being in the public domain, because the person who retains copyright has licensed them for CC reuse. In general problems only arise if the license cited is not accurate to the image; my understanding is that if the Commons offers a license to apply to an image, that’s because the Commons has deemed that license sufficient basis for hosting such images. Hope that’s helpful. CCing The History Wizard of Cambridge who may wish to know. Cheers, Innisfree987 ( talk) 13:19, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

I wanted to raise one point, as I see that you are involved in the re-write of the Holocaust in Poland article. I think that in the Background section it should be mentioned that for a time Poland was a shelter to Jews who were being persecuted and expelled from other parts of Europe. I raise this issue not to sugar-coat the history of Jews in Poland, but this was a legitimate reason why so many Jews ended up in Poland by the end of the middle-ages, eventually leading to the later events of the 20th century. However, I don't want to jump in and start re-writing the section and instead allow others to clean up the text first, but I do think this fact explains why such an exodus from western Europe to Poland happened in the first place, and there are numerous sources which cover this topic.

Hello, Buidhe,
I don't think that this AFD discussion was a good candidate for a NAC closure. Opinion was divided and it could have been closed as "No consensus". I realize that you are an experienced editor but in the future, try to pick AFD discussions to close that don't seem like they might be contested, where it is obvious what the closure should be. This seems like a close call to me. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 17:37, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template.

Hello Buidhe,
Backlog
Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.
Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.
Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.
You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.
Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).
Reminders
Buidhe, do you happen to remember this edit at Conversion therapy? The mention of "and in the Commonwealth from 1961..." without prior context for Commonwealth seemed odd, and made me wonder if it was perhaps copied from another article which contained the context. In any case, I'm guessing we mean the British Commonwealth here, because what else could it be? but that still seems odd, as that doesn't really localize its usage very much. Can you clarify that sentence in section § Aversion therapy? Thanks, Mathglot ( talk) 02:45, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Buidhe,
You created this article but it has recently grown into a sprawling, overly long article. Do you have any interest in spending a little time to cut it back to a manageable size or split it into two articles? The recent edits by a new editor have been large ones so a check into copyrighted content might be warranted. Thanks for considering this request. Liz Read! Talk! 19:36, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
Ok, then, as the tagger, you should certainly respond to questions as to what, specifically you would cut to make it shorter? I'm sure you've put a lot of thought into it. I'll be listening ... I'm sure you would agree that drive-by tagging, no matter how justified, does nothing for the project.
But I would also point out, as I did during the GAR, that it is now not much longer than Aliens and Back to the Future, both of which were promoted to FA in the last year. And your tag followed extensive editing during the GAR that got shot in the foot by the GAN crew over issues having nothing to do with it, which included splitting off the original production and themes sections as separate articles.
Yes, I know, the metric in question is prose size these days, not total byte count, as someone else brought up during the GAR, by which it should still be cut. But ... I still feel like I'm being punished for properly researching the article, cutting it down in response to criticism of its length that I admit had a point, and then being told that still isn't enough.
I have been thinking, though, and since you're the tagger, you are the perfect person to ask, I think: do you think a separate "reception of ..." article would work? We don't seem to have any yet for individual films, much less individual works (I think), but that section does, I allow, take up more than most articles, and I had thought about trimming it.
If you don't know, or don't think you can confidently answer, just say so, and I'll see what the good people at WT:FILM might have to say ... Daniel Case ( talk) 21:49, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Your Opinion is More Important than You Think Barnstar | |
Your suggestion that I cut some of the material in The Exorcist's litigation section not only led me to do it, but then to take yet another pass through the article (the third, I think!) and find more material to cut or trim, getting the article further down in size than I had thought I could. Thanks! Daniel Case ( talk) 03:33, 24 June 2023 (UTC) |
Also, I will be polling the talk page for the article on whether anyone has any objections to a separate "reception of ..." or "reaction to ..." article. I was going to go to WT:FILM but then I looked at the category again and saw that I had missed Reactions from India and the Indian diaspora to Slumdog Millionaire, created in this discussion, which concerns the response of one portion of the audience (albeit a pretty big and important one) to the film. It's been there since 2009. Daniel Case ( talk) 04:07, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
I was trying to add some new sources I removed one because most credible Soviet-Russian say 3.9 million died, which is close to what western scholars say.

You recently deleted the "Gallery of previous editions" for the book "Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries." I just wanted to point out that the use rationale for a non-free book cover is that it is needed in order to identify the book. However, in this case there are 10 editions of the book and they all have different covers. So the 10th edition cover can't be used to identify any of the other editions of the book. The gallery of previous editions solves this problem, and thus it doesn't seem to me to be an unreasonable use of these non-free images. The gallery also included other information on the various editions such as their ISBN numbers, as they are technically considered separate books. Fracton ( talk) 03:34, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Lightburst, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, James Mace Ward, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.
If you wish to contest the deletion:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

I was RC patrolling and found a bunch of pretty explicit Japanese Nationalist and Yamato Supremacist content on Soh Ohba and tried to remove it but an IP just put it back up. Its not strict vandalism so I can't just take it back down without violating 3rr. I am still relatively new to wikipedia and am not very well versed in the nuances of WP:DUE, WP:NPOV, etc and honestly I don't have the emotional energy to deal with this properly, but just ignoring it would damage the integrity of the project. I am reaching out to you because of your presence on the Nazi Affiliation task force, and as its subject area is tangential to these issues I am hoping that you are more knowledgeable and better equipped (and willing) to deal with this. — FenrisAureus ▼ (she/they) ( talk) 04:28, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, dropping by because another editor recently drew my attention to this discussion, specifically the portion about image licensing. I wanted to clarify that PD-US is not a requirement for all images on the Commons; rather it’s one of many legitimate licenses for the Commons. It means that an image has no US copyright restrictions whatsoever. But some restrictions are compatible with use on the Commons and thus other WMF sites, like several Creative Commons licenses. Many Flickr images can be imported for instance despite not being in the public domain, because the person who retains copyright has licensed them for CC reuse. In general problems only arise if the license cited is not accurate to the image; my understanding is that if the Commons offers a license to apply to an image, that’s because the Commons has deemed that license sufficient basis for hosting such images. Hope that’s helpful. CCing The History Wizard of Cambridge who may wish to know. Cheers, Innisfree987 ( talk) 13:19, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

I wanted to raise one point, as I see that you are involved in the re-write of the Holocaust in Poland article. I think that in the Background section it should be mentioned that for a time Poland was a shelter to Jews who were being persecuted and expelled from other parts of Europe. I raise this issue not to sugar-coat the history of Jews in Poland, but this was a legitimate reason why so many Jews ended up in Poland by the end of the middle-ages, eventually leading to the later events of the 20th century. However, I don't want to jump in and start re-writing the section and instead allow others to clean up the text first, but I do think this fact explains why such an exodus from western Europe to Poland happened in the first place, and there are numerous sources which cover this topic.

Hello, Buidhe,
I don't think that this AFD discussion was a good candidate for a NAC closure. Opinion was divided and it could have been closed as "No consensus". I realize that you are an experienced editor but in the future, try to pick AFD discussions to close that don't seem like they might be contested, where it is obvious what the closure should be. This seems like a close call to me. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 17:37, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template.

Hello Buidhe,
Backlog
Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.
Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.
Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.
You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.
Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).
Reminders
Buidhe, do you happen to remember this edit at Conversion therapy? The mention of "and in the Commonwealth from 1961..." without prior context for Commonwealth seemed odd, and made me wonder if it was perhaps copied from another article which contained the context. In any case, I'm guessing we mean the British Commonwealth here, because what else could it be? but that still seems odd, as that doesn't really localize its usage very much. Can you clarify that sentence in section § Aversion therapy? Thanks, Mathglot ( talk) 02:45, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Buidhe,
You created this article but it has recently grown into a sprawling, overly long article. Do you have any interest in spending a little time to cut it back to a manageable size or split it into two articles? The recent edits by a new editor have been large ones so a check into copyrighted content might be warranted. Thanks for considering this request. Liz Read! Talk! 19:36, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
Ok, then, as the tagger, you should certainly respond to questions as to what, specifically you would cut to make it shorter? I'm sure you've put a lot of thought into it. I'll be listening ... I'm sure you would agree that drive-by tagging, no matter how justified, does nothing for the project.
But I would also point out, as I did during the GAR, that it is now not much longer than Aliens and Back to the Future, both of which were promoted to FA in the last year. And your tag followed extensive editing during the GAR that got shot in the foot by the GAN crew over issues having nothing to do with it, which included splitting off the original production and themes sections as separate articles.
Yes, I know, the metric in question is prose size these days, not total byte count, as someone else brought up during the GAR, by which it should still be cut. But ... I still feel like I'm being punished for properly researching the article, cutting it down in response to criticism of its length that I admit had a point, and then being told that still isn't enough.
I have been thinking, though, and since you're the tagger, you are the perfect person to ask, I think: do you think a separate "reception of ..." article would work? We don't seem to have any yet for individual films, much less individual works (I think), but that section does, I allow, take up more than most articles, and I had thought about trimming it.
If you don't know, or don't think you can confidently answer, just say so, and I'll see what the good people at WT:FILM might have to say ... Daniel Case ( talk) 21:49, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Your Opinion is More Important than You Think Barnstar | |
Your suggestion that I cut some of the material in The Exorcist's litigation section not only led me to do it, but then to take yet another pass through the article (the third, I think!) and find more material to cut or trim, getting the article further down in size than I had thought I could. Thanks! Daniel Case ( talk) 03:33, 24 June 2023 (UTC) |
Also, I will be polling the talk page for the article on whether anyone has any objections to a separate "reception of ..." or "reaction to ..." article. I was going to go to WT:FILM but then I looked at the category again and saw that I had missed Reactions from India and the Indian diaspora to Slumdog Millionaire, created in this discussion, which concerns the response of one portion of the audience (albeit a pretty big and important one) to the film. It's been there since 2009. Daniel Case ( talk) 04:07, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
I was trying to add some new sources I removed one because most credible Soviet-Russian say 3.9 million died, which is close to what western scholars say.

You recently deleted the "Gallery of previous editions" for the book "Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries." I just wanted to point out that the use rationale for a non-free book cover is that it is needed in order to identify the book. However, in this case there are 10 editions of the book and they all have different covers. So the 10th edition cover can't be used to identify any of the other editions of the book. The gallery of previous editions solves this problem, and thus it doesn't seem to me to be an unreasonable use of these non-free images. The gallery also included other information on the various editions such as their ISBN numbers, as they are technically considered separate books. Fracton ( talk) 03:34, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

If you wish to contest the deletion:
