Hello!Would you like to delete the redirects?
The redirects were created long ago and are in the ‘gray area’, since the names are between original research and the information found in reliable sources. I believe redirects mentioned, as well as Kapau a Nuakea just confuse.
The page about Nuʻakea was created by me when I didn‘t understand notability measures, so if you like, delete the article. Wikipedia isn’t a genealogy site; what’s known about Nuʻakea are her parents’ names, partner’s name and the fact she had a famous child. One’s notability cannot be made from another one’s. Miha ( talk) 17:08, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
I understand all should follow the rules. Unfortunately, I can’t present evidence the redirects are ‘harmful’—they’re just pointless. Kapauanuakea is a name found on the (amateur) genealogy sites, so I changed the title in 2021, since the ruler is known as Kapau-a-Nuʻakea in historians’ works. Kamauliwahine’s name is written without a dash in modern historiography. Miha ( talk) 18:31, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
P. S. I didn't change the title on my own; rather, another user moved the page when I requested. Should the redirects stay? Not harmful, but not useful. Miha ( talk) 18:35, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
Dear DanCherek,
Yes content is copied from Greenwich University Karachi official website as reference is given by mentioning website url, it is not an advertisement, it is introduction of University, how the student or any person will get the info about the university if the content is not written well so that's why i copied the material from their Website. so i request you please do not remove the content as it is perfect content and undo the content. 110.34.36.18 ( talk) 07:27, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
Your stint at Greenwich will be challenging, inspiring and rewarding because you will be pushing the boundaries of knowledge at one of the best private sector universitiesbelong nowhere on Wikipedia. That's promotion, plain and simple, designed to attract applicants to Greenwich, and that's just not the purpose of the Wikipedia article. As it turns out, every subpage of the university's website has "© Copyright Greenwich University 2022. All rights reserved." at the bottom, which means that it can't be copied to Wikipedia anyway. Sorry, I won't be restoring the content. DanCherek ( talk) 11:43, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Dan. Hope all is well. A belated congrats on your well-deserved adminship! As you seem to be the most active REX editor, just thought I'd leave a note that for the foreseeable future I have access to the collections of cornell university libraries pretty much daily. If you happen to see portions of a book or resource that they hold requested, feel free to ping me and I'll try to help out. They also have very good ILL relationships with various universities, but especially fast for ones held by those in the ivy league, so I may be able to request some scans through that as well.

Dan, I hope you still like flowers and music, especially when flowers and sky come like the Ukrainian flag ;) - I have a sad case on DYK today, Ruslana Pysanka. She was ITN before, in the RD group, Recent deaths. That is a field where I sometimes need help, and wonder if you'd be willing. It's easy: nominations appear on WP:ITNN, they need supports (3 and more) and no oppose, and then are placed at the beginning of the group {{ In the news}}, discarding the last one. Crediting those involved is super-easy: just a click on the word behind the name, that's it. At the moment I have Zofia Posmysz there, marked ready last night, but not moved. Perhaps because older ones should be handled first. Perhaps because I received a credit today already. One consideration is that every entry should last for 24 hours. Perhaps do nothing right now and just look and see if that is a field where you might want to work occasionally - weekends and vacation time make it slow, while it normally functions well, I must say. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 13:07, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Sir! I want to clean up that article, by re-paraphrasing those closely paraphrased sentences. In this, I want your help. -- Haoreima ( talk) 04:54, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
Can you confirm how "revdel" was actually warranted on this article? I don't see any copyright violation in the text as it existed. I used my own wording to preserve the meaning and content and there was no exact same match between the Wikipedia wording and the article content. A revdel can be used only if a good chunk of content was directly lifted but I don't see if that criteria was met. Pranesh Ravikumar ( talk) 09:10, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
a good chunk of content was directly lifted. I compared the text you added at 13:28, 30 August 2022 to page 354 of Modi's India: Hindu Nationalism and the Rise of Ethnic Democracy (2021) and found significant copying from that source, including the following (overlapping text in bold):
"In September 2019, during the campaigning for state elections in Maharashtra, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the law enforcement agency under the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, in charge of combating economic crime in India, registered cases against NCP leaders, including Praful Patel, Sharad Pawar, and Ajit Pawar. Similarly, D. K. Shivakumar, a popular Congress leader of Karnataka, was arrested in another income-tax-related case as the BJP attempted to regain power in Karnataka. In 2020, when the Congress government was shaken by factional tensions between Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot, not only did the BJP try to attract potentially dissident Congress MLAs by all sort of means, but the ED summoned Gehlot's brother in an alleged fertilizer scam case that dated back to 2007."

Hi. I am contacting you per WP:ADMINISTRATORABUSE, "If a user believes an administrator has acted improperly, they should express their concerns directly to the administrator responsible and try to come to a resolution in an orderly and civil manner."
On 5 September 2022 I contacted you in the talk page of Wikipedia talk:Requests for permissions requesting your review of the permission you granted to Protonk as a pending changes reviewer. Also requesting at least your admonition to said editor due to gross violation of the civility policy. Given your inappropriate response, brushing aside my complaint and even expressing support for the other editor, I feel compelled to complain and try to resolve the dispute with you hereby.
The user Protonk criticized me in the Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Pending changes reviewer thread, writing, "it is...worrisome that you have been here for as long as you have with as many edits as you have and you talk to people like this. I would not want to work with someone who behaved like this". Apparently they didn't like that I pointed out policies and guidelines regarding in my opinion baseless accusations against me by an adiministrator, in which I did not use any fool language at all and remained civil, although highly demoralized.
I posted in Protonk's talk page, seeking an explanation about their criticism directed at me. Ironically, Protonk, despite the aforementioned criticism towards me about how I was talking, decided to reply to me in this manner, "User:Thinker78, you came to my fucking talk page moaning about some shit ANOTHER editor said and accusing me of not understanding things and when I (only one in a line of too patient Wikipedians) tried to explain to you that your problem was you love to lecture other editors about shit you don't understand (policy, editing, logic, just to name a few) you demonstrated in the most obtuse way possible that you weren't interested in listening."
I was interested in listening, but I was trying to make a point that Protonk was in their own view of things, lecturing me, but at the same time criticized me for "lecturing" others. Then Protonk just asked me if it was a joke, and then I thought they were not interested in discussing things and was just wasting my time. I have to point out that Protonk did state previously that I was wasting someone else's time, so there shouldn't be an issue for me saying the same thing about them. I stated that Protonk was displaying poor analytical skills, which is my opinion based on my understanding that Protonk misunderstood issues that I could have explained at length if I was given the opportunity to, instead of first being dismissed as a prank and being told off by gross rudeness the level of which I have never done in Wikipedia.
For some reason, after bringing to your attention such rudeness and gross profanity, you, DanCherek, an administrator in Wikipedia, decided to instead rebuke me for unrelated issues. You also brushed aside said incivility and even showed support for the other editor.
My expectation was simple enough. Simply to conduct a neutral review on your decision to grant a permission, due to such display of incivility. Or in any case, to admonish said editor for violating the civility policy, given that it was your decision to grant them advanced rights. One would expect an editor with advanced rights would have better standards of behavior, better judgment and cohesion in their arguments. It doesn't seem it is good judgment or good cohesion in arguments to be criticizing someone for "talk to people like this" for pointing out policies and guidelines while at the same time failing to behave with basic civility. It doesn't seem it is good judgment or good cohesion in arguments to be telling someone they wasted someone else's time and not understanding policies and guidelines, while at the same time snapping furiously when told a similar thing.
It would have sufficed at least a response reminding the other editor about the civility policy and that it is unacceptable such level of rudeness in Wikipedia. And thereon if you decided to, if you had any concerns about me you could have also reminded me of whatever it was your opinion that I was failing in. I did not expect such partiality and wanton disregard for the civility policy, which I consider worrisome, specially coming from an administrator. Thinker78 (talk) 04:55, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
From CopyPatrol, I found this diff which is word for word of this patent.

Hi DanCherek, you deleted the article City as the Artist's Subjectivity. Section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion... ( https://www.bookarts.uwe.ac.uk/pdf/newspdfs/140.pdf). Yes.

{{paid|user=Nsalzayed|employer=InsertName}}
. Be sure to read the policies and guidelines on
paid editing and
conflicts of interest.Here at Wikipedia, we care about what reliable, independent sources have written about a given subject. It's by judging the extent of coverage in these
reliable sources that we assess whether something is notable enough to have an article. By contrast, press releases are usually worthless in terms of notability and they also aren't reliable sources of information, as companies can write whatever they want in a press release. So even if it's written in your own words, basing an entire article on press releases is not going to be acceptable for a Wikipedia article, nor is using promotional wording like "an innovative homegrown concept".I did a quick search for sources on Shop Raha, and it doesn't seem like it's received any coverage in independent sources, just its own press releases and websites. Unfortunately, that likely means that it does not have the extent of coverage to warrant a Wikipedia article at this time. You're welcome to continue working on a draft, but I thought I'd just give you a heads up about that.

I have recently joined Wikipedia since there are a series of revolutionary protest happening in Iran that is led by women, so I wanted to be able to add missing pages. I started with one that related to the hijab protest but it was flagged as a conflict of interest risk. What can I do to avoid seeming someone like that? I am a sole contributor and not registered with any political party or such. I'm just trying to help documenting current historical changes.

Hi Dan - my article about my 1990'z zine Dragazine Magazine was not accepted. Can you help me to understand what is missing or what I can improve? -- Lois Commondenominator ( talk) 00:11, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello DanCherek,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!

Hello!Would you like to delete the redirects?
The redirects were created long ago and are in the ‘gray area’, since the names are between original research and the information found in reliable sources. I believe redirects mentioned, as well as Kapau a Nuakea just confuse.
The page about Nuʻakea was created by me when I didn‘t understand notability measures, so if you like, delete the article. Wikipedia isn’t a genealogy site; what’s known about Nuʻakea are her parents’ names, partner’s name and the fact she had a famous child. One’s notability cannot be made from another one’s. Miha ( talk) 17:08, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
I understand all should follow the rules. Unfortunately, I can’t present evidence the redirects are ‘harmful’—they’re just pointless. Kapauanuakea is a name found on the (amateur) genealogy sites, so I changed the title in 2021, since the ruler is known as Kapau-a-Nuʻakea in historians’ works. Kamauliwahine’s name is written without a dash in modern historiography. Miha ( talk) 18:31, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
P. S. I didn't change the title on my own; rather, another user moved the page when I requested. Should the redirects stay? Not harmful, but not useful. Miha ( talk) 18:35, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
Dear DanCherek,
Yes content is copied from Greenwich University Karachi official website as reference is given by mentioning website url, it is not an advertisement, it is introduction of University, how the student or any person will get the info about the university if the content is not written well so that's why i copied the material from their Website. so i request you please do not remove the content as it is perfect content and undo the content. 110.34.36.18 ( talk) 07:27, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
Your stint at Greenwich will be challenging, inspiring and rewarding because you will be pushing the boundaries of knowledge at one of the best private sector universitiesbelong nowhere on Wikipedia. That's promotion, plain and simple, designed to attract applicants to Greenwich, and that's just not the purpose of the Wikipedia article. As it turns out, every subpage of the university's website has "© Copyright Greenwich University 2022. All rights reserved." at the bottom, which means that it can't be copied to Wikipedia anyway. Sorry, I won't be restoring the content. DanCherek ( talk) 11:43, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Dan, I hope you still like flowers and music, especially when flowers and sky come like the Ukrainian flag ;) - I have a sad case on DYK today, Ruslana Pysanka. She was ITN before, in the RD group, Recent deaths. That is a field where I sometimes need help, and wonder if you'd be willing. It's easy: nominations appear on WP:ITNN, they need supports (3 and more) and no oppose, and then are placed at the beginning of the group {{ In the news}}, discarding the last one. Crediting those involved is super-easy: just a click on the word behind the name, that's it. At the moment I have Zofia Posmysz there, marked ready last night, but not moved. Perhaps because older ones should be handled first. Perhaps because I received a credit today already. One consideration is that every entry should last for 24 hours. Perhaps do nothing right now and just look and see if that is a field where you might want to work occasionally - weekends and vacation time make it slow, while it normally functions well, I must say. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 13:07, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Can you confirm how "revdel" was actually warranted on this article? I don't see any copyright violation in the text as it existed. I used my own wording to preserve the meaning and content and there was no exact same match between the Wikipedia wording and the article content. A revdel can be used only if a good chunk of content was directly lifted but I don't see if that criteria was met. Pranesh Ravikumar ( talk) 09:10, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
a good chunk of content was directly lifted. I compared the text you added at 13:28, 30 August 2022 to page 354 of Modi's India: Hindu Nationalism and the Rise of Ethnic Democracy (2021) and found significant copying from that source, including the following (overlapping text in bold):
"In September 2019, during the campaigning for state elections in Maharashtra, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the law enforcement agency under the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, in charge of combating economic crime in India, registered cases against NCP leaders, including Praful Patel, Sharad Pawar, and Ajit Pawar. Similarly, D. K. Shivakumar, a popular Congress leader of Karnataka, was arrested in another income-tax-related case as the BJP attempted to regain power in Karnataka. In 2020, when the Congress government was shaken by factional tensions between Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot, not only did the BJP try to attract potentially dissident Congress MLAs by all sort of means, but the ED summoned Gehlot's brother in an alleged fertilizer scam case that dated back to 2007."

Hi. I am contacting you per WP:ADMINISTRATORABUSE, "If a user believes an administrator has acted improperly, they should express their concerns directly to the administrator responsible and try to come to a resolution in an orderly and civil manner."
On 5 September 2022 I contacted you in the talk page of Wikipedia talk:Requests for permissions requesting your review of the permission you granted to Protonk as a pending changes reviewer. Also requesting at least your admonition to said editor due to gross violation of the civility policy. Given your inappropriate response, brushing aside my complaint and even expressing support for the other editor, I feel compelled to complain and try to resolve the dispute with you hereby.
The user Protonk criticized me in the Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Pending changes reviewer thread, writing, "it is...worrisome that you have been here for as long as you have with as many edits as you have and you talk to people like this. I would not want to work with someone who behaved like this". Apparently they didn't like that I pointed out policies and guidelines regarding in my opinion baseless accusations against me by an adiministrator, in which I did not use any fool language at all and remained civil, although highly demoralized.
I posted in Protonk's talk page, seeking an explanation about their criticism directed at me. Ironically, Protonk, despite the aforementioned criticism towards me about how I was talking, decided to reply to me in this manner, "User:Thinker78, you came to my fucking talk page moaning about some shit ANOTHER editor said and accusing me of not understanding things and when I (only one in a line of too patient Wikipedians) tried to explain to you that your problem was you love to lecture other editors about shit you don't understand (policy, editing, logic, just to name a few) you demonstrated in the most obtuse way possible that you weren't interested in listening."
I was interested in listening, but I was trying to make a point that Protonk was in their own view of things, lecturing me, but at the same time criticized me for "lecturing" others. Then Protonk just asked me if it was a joke, and then I thought they were not interested in discussing things and was just wasting my time. I have to point out that Protonk did state previously that I was wasting someone else's time, so there shouldn't be an issue for me saying the same thing about them. I stated that Protonk was displaying poor analytical skills, which is my opinion based on my understanding that Protonk misunderstood issues that I could have explained at length if I was given the opportunity to, instead of first being dismissed as a prank and being told off by gross rudeness the level of which I have never done in Wikipedia.
For some reason, after bringing to your attention such rudeness and gross profanity, you, DanCherek, an administrator in Wikipedia, decided to instead rebuke me for unrelated issues. You also brushed aside said incivility and even showed support for the other editor.
My expectation was simple enough. Simply to conduct a neutral review on your decision to grant a permission, due to such display of incivility. Or in any case, to admonish said editor for violating the civility policy, given that it was your decision to grant them advanced rights. One would expect an editor with advanced rights would have better standards of behavior, better judgment and cohesion in their arguments. It doesn't seem it is good judgment or good cohesion in arguments to be criticizing someone for "talk to people like this" for pointing out policies and guidelines while at the same time failing to behave with basic civility. It doesn't seem it is good judgment or good cohesion in arguments to be telling someone they wasted someone else's time and not understanding policies and guidelines, while at the same time snapping furiously when told a similar thing.
It would have sufficed at least a response reminding the other editor about the civility policy and that it is unacceptable such level of rudeness in Wikipedia. And thereon if you decided to, if you had any concerns about me you could have also reminded me of whatever it was your opinion that I was failing in. I did not expect such partiality and wanton disregard for the civility policy, which I consider worrisome, specially coming from an administrator. Thinker78 (talk) 04:55, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

. Be sure to read the policies and guidelines on
paid editing and
conflicts of interest.Here at Wikipedia, we care about what reliable, independent sources have written about a given subject. It's by judging the extent of coverage in these
reliable sources that we assess whether something is notable enough to have an article. By contrast, press releases are usually worthless in terms of notability and they also aren't reliable sources of information, as companies can write whatever they want in a press release. So even if it's written in your own words, basing an entire article on press releases is not going to be acceptable for a Wikipedia article, nor is using promotional wording like "an innovative homegrown concept".I did a quick search for sources on Shop Raha, and it doesn't seem like it's received any coverage in independent sources, just its own press releases and websites. Unfortunately, that likely means that it does not have the extent of coverage to warrant a Wikipedia article at this time. You're welcome to continue working on a draft, but I thought I'd just give you a heads up about that.

02:11, 13 September 2022 (UTC)The Wikipedia user Samrudhdavid has consistently vandalised the Budget section of the Brahmastra Part One (by repeatedly putting in incorrect and unverified information), so could you please prevent him from editing any further in this page?

Hi, Mr. Cherek. I appreciate the advice on copyright you wrote. I didn't know if I had copied too much from the Wild Singapore reference because I was worried about getting the species details wrong. I will try to be more careful and paraphrase with my own creative words next time. Again, thank you. 😊 🙏 -- Mat Kiyan ( talk) 04:20, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
Hello,
Can you help me by explaining how to request a histmerge? I created a draft article
Draft:Finalmente L'alba on September 2, 2022. 11 days later another Wikipedian by the name of
User:Hildreth gazzard created the article
Finalmente L’alba without realizing I’ve already created a draft article of the same name. I would like to request a histmerge please. Therefore, what do I need to do?

Hello Wikipedia -- Aaujifrash ( talk) 09:22, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
Hello. I have mostly edited articles related to semiconductors and I have come into contact with an irrational editor called Artem S. Tashkinov. I fixed a factually incorrect assertion on the 7 nm process page that asserted that the Intel 7 process is 7 nm, when in reality, it is 10 nm and I provided sources explicitly stating it. Intel 4 is actually a 7 nm process but this editor keeps undoing it while providing no sources to support their claims. On their talk page, I provided them an extensive list of sources with quotes but they refuse to accept it. What should I do? Thanks. LeaveMeB ( talk) 17:14, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Greetings DanCherek, As a new editor, I made an error in the file name of a photo file I uploaded. It would be helpful to have this name corrected. Since it was uploaded recently it is likely to have had little or no use. The reason for the file name request is shown on the file's page. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Edward_Eaton_Mason_reflecting_at_San_Francisco_Bay_Bridge_2011.jpg Thank you for your offer to mentor.

The rose pic was taken on 11 Sep 2021, and this year was full of music that day, Tag des offenen Denkmals, not only singing in church and rehearsals for Verdi's Requiem, but two concerts at special places pictured, one a synagogue (pictured on its wall). Today three DYK: a piece we'll perform on Sunday /thank you for the music!), a violinist we heard in June playing the Berg Concerto (with my brother in the orchestra), and a Youth Orchestra shaped by a conductor who recently died. Almost too much of a good thing. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 14:13, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I've noticed that you blocked most socks of the Wikipedia bandit, and I'm very thankful for it. However, one of the pages I reverted, The Strange, couldn't be restored to its original state due to a Kickstarter link, and such link is on the blacklist. Since it fit the article, would you be kind enough to put it back? Thanks in advance. LilianaUwU ( talk / contribs) 06:21, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey mentor, i have a question......how do I write an article on Wikipedia that can be published publically -- MAhIRTiwari ( talk) 03:22, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
The next newsletter is ready. If you have time, please do a c/e review. Also, any comment on the length. Kudpung keeps telling me it is way too long. No one else has mentioned that. It can be read in 1-2 minutes. There is nothing important we are trying to communicate here, so I think it will be read by people who are interested in staying abreast on NPP and skipped by others, regardless of if it's this length or a lot shorter. I could have cut out the examples of bug fixes, but didn't want to slight the people that did them (and wrote that paragraph). MB 01:26, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello DanCherek,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
