I have just received a citation on one of my recently created pages for something that doesn't make sense and has nothing against the guidelines.

Hello Ramaksoud2000. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various
deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at
page reviewer talk.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. -- samtar talk or stalk 18:58, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
I disagree that this photo should be deleted. In addition to having personal permission from the photographer and his client, Lila Azam Zanganeh, I have also cited the photographer's name on the article: Marcelo Correa. I am happy to provide more proof of Mr. Correa's copyright, but do not see why it is necessary, particularly when his client's website states that the images can be used provided that his copyright is listed: Photos of Lila Azam Zanganeh. Please take this information into account or provide me with additional steps I can take. Thanks!

Hi! Thank you for approving and moving my article on Gene Keyes to live status. I noted it has a C Rating, but I really have no idea what I can do to increase its rating to a B or A level. I did as thorough research as I could and included many footnotes to substantiate the article. In any event, I am open to any specific advice you may have.

Hi there. The mugshot I uploaded, taken Nov. 1, 2016, by the Flowood Police Department, was widely distributed, probably to every paper in the state. Clearly that agency's intent was to maximize distribution. It appeared in a number of larger papers and blogs that I checked. I checked the MS copyright law, and it is extremely liberal. Very few things are exceptions to their blanket open records act. The exceptions are mainly for health and employee records, for instance. The state statues, all sections of which I read, does not indicate any restriction.

Hi there, I was wondering if you would be willing to share your input here on these files at FFD. Thank you! Jon Kolbert ( talk) 20:11, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
Dear Team Member,
Being humble, I request you to please help me know how come the article and its content is not notable. Would request you to read the article completely once for the humble concerns. I know there are scenarios where the products of a company are really notable within their most interactive systems. Here too, the same issue exists where the products are widely popular on social medias. In respect of intellectual rights, its a general practice where none allows the copy and redistribute of contents. Hence, even being notable, you will find least articles out on their social media platforms.
Would request you to help and guide and further consider the request once again. I really want to learn from you, but this is something very important in which I seek your utmost support. And yes indeed, no other website can provide such level of notability which WIKIPEDIA itself can provide. Being true, want to hear back from you positively.
Best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sauravbhardwaj ( talk • contribs) 20:13, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

The article MV Lady Mary Joy 3 has sources from ship-listing websites like Marinetraffic and Vessel Finder.

the section of law pertaining to the USMMA Congressional Board of Visitors was amended several years ago.

I don't see a better place to post this so I am putting it here. It does appear that this file should be deleted. My assumption that an art work in a public place can be copied and distributed without restriction appears to be wrong. Sorry. I wonder how Google is able to publish unedited street views.
Please read and try to understand Wikipedia:Privacy policy. You should never reveal the actual name of an author who uses a nick name. Maintaining anonymity is one of the highest privileges of Wikipedians, and this should never be compromised. Therefore, the box in the article says Cryptically "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject." and is not as blunt and open as your wording, although it actually means the same. -- NearEMPTiness ( talk) 06:34, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

I saw your message about the photo of A.M.W. Stirling. That was eight years ago, and things were looser then about permission, but as I recall, I had emailed the De Morgan Foundation for permission, which they granted with attribution. I'm not sure a formal template even existed at the time to verify the obtaining of permission.
I've not been involved with the day-to-day business of Wikipedia for a couple of years, and sadly lack the time to immerse myself in reviewing procedures. I don't know whether there are folks currently devoted to preserving content who might want to obtain permission from the Foundation. Thanks, Cynwolfe ( talk) 16:46, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Suresh (1928-1979) was a notable actor of Bollywood, who acted as a Hero in several films in 1940s and 1950s and as a supporting artiste in major films later on. He produced his own film also. I am still editing his page for filmography. Vkjoshi123 ( talk) 07:23, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
@Ramaksoud2000
I am giving details of a few films uploaded on Youtube,(among many others) where he is cited as a Hero and producer of a film, and is shown acting, viz (1)"Diwana" (1952) opposite Suraiya,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbIh6Xlyq9A,
(2)'Yasmin' (1955) opposite Vyajantimala,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9a55IyzGoU,
(3)'Dastan' (1950), opposite Suraiya, as a co-hero, with Raj Kapoor,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt8cCFjTUV8
(4)'Ganga aur Suraj' (1980) as producer, starring Sunil Dutt, Shashi Kapoor, Reena Roy,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgiJFcWppj0
to name only a few.
He acted in over 55 films, no mean achievement.

@Ramaksoud2000
What further proof is required when his films, with citation, approved by the Censor Board of India have been given as evidence. You can watch his name in the Title Role as hero and producer. After all he was of a generation when, there were few actors of his caliber and he died early in 1979. Vkjoshi123 ( talk) 08:13, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
Regarding your comment on Yobot's page: Subst date does not work inside references. It is very rare that some adds it though. That's why AnomieBot added a date inside the template instead of fixing it. The Yobot followed and reacted differently on the same error. Thanks for the heads up. A rare problem though. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 05:39, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

I received e-mail permission from the group that markets the book, The Nazis Next Door to use their cover page photo of Eric Lichtblau.

If this explanation is not adequate, please let me know. Thank-you, dcw2003
Thank you for reviewing and approving my new article on Charles Sanford Olmsted. It was really an expansion of a Stub with a misspelled title to a full article with a new correct title.

I just made another entry for the Dry Creek Airport that you had previously deleted. The new entry is almost identical to another airport that is published in Wike - Spruce Creek Airport.

You were recently listed as a party to a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Magioladitis. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Magioladitis/Evidence. Please add your evidence by January 17, 2017, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Magioladitis/Workshop.

I noticed you removed a sockpuppet's edits. I understand it is the right thing to remove sockpuppet's edits but that edit wasn't violating anything. I'm not a sockpuppet and I made edits to the festival section by adding many festivals that weren't included last month. I'm not sure who the sockpuppet is but I don't think it's necessary to delete that since it wasn't only the sockpuppet's edits, I made constructive edits to that section too. According to the guidelines of Wikipedia it says, "it isn't necessary or desirable to try to revert every single article edit the sock puppet has ever made" and I don't think it's necessary to delete that information since it's informative.

Hi there, I noticed you've done a number of relists at FFD lately. Just wanted to point out the admin instructions for FFD, particularly that at FFD, a nomination to delete with no subsequent contributions results in a delete, not a relist.

I've been thinking about additional image related reports that your bot might be able to generate and I think I have come up with another one.

Second, the consensus is not strictly determined by the number of votes. Per

When closing, a summary of the arguments should be given (see

We now have 805 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at
PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Good day. Regarding my recent insertion of images onto the CFB North Bay page, that were deleted, you cited, "I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license." I made it abundantly clear in the uploading and in the credit lines that these images (a) belong to the subject--22 Wing/Canadian Forces Base North Bay--and that (b) I, an officer on this base, uploaded the images with the Base Commander's permission. That is I uploaded the images on behalf of their owner, with his full permission. I expect that you are probably not Canadian nor are familiar with how permissions work with respect to images belonging to units of the Canadian Armed Forces, so I understand your confusion in this matter. (a) The images come from the air base's archives. (b) The Wing Heritage Officer on each Royal Canadian Air Force base is the Base Commander's representative of its history and heritage to the media and the public. (c) To carry out his or her mandate, each Wing Heritage Officer is permitted by the Base Commander to use images from their archives, towards telling the history and heritage of the base. For example, this year is the 75th anniversary of the Royal Air Force setting up its Trans-Atlantic Training Unit at North Bay; the Second World War flying school taught Allied airmen from as far away as Australia the tricks of trans-Atlantic flying and how to deal with emergencies that crop up along the way. My office shall be employing a host of images from the base archives on-line, in standard media, and in public displays to commemorate the school and its accomplishments. If you want proof of who I am and what I have asserted, Google Captain Doug Newman North Bay. If you wish you can also e-mail the air base for confirmation, or e-mail me raymond.newman@forces.gc.ca. In the meantime, reinstate the images please. They are our images provided by us.
If you have any further concerns please contact me to discuss before you delete or alter anything. I shall do everything I can to placate these concerns to your satisfaction. Thank you. Yours respectfully, Doug Newman, Captain, 22 Wing/Canadian Forces Base North Bay 22WHERO ( talk) 15:06, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello Ramaksoud2000. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various
deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at
page reviewer talk.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. -- samtar talk or stalk 18:58, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
I disagree that this photo should be deleted. In addition to having personal permission from the photographer and his client, Lila Azam Zanganeh, I have also cited the photographer's name on the article: Marcelo Correa. I am happy to provide more proof of Mr. Correa's copyright, but do not see why it is necessary, particularly when his client's website states that the images can be used provided that his copyright is listed: Photos of Lila Azam Zanganeh. Please take this information into account or provide me with additional steps I can take. Thanks!

Hi! Thank you for approving and moving my article on Gene Keyes to live status. I noted it has a C Rating, but I really have no idea what I can do to increase its rating to a B or A level. I did as thorough research as I could and included many footnotes to substantiate the article. In any event, I am open to any specific advice you may have.
Thanks

Hi there. The mugshot I uploaded, taken Nov. 1, 2016, by the Flowood Police Department, was widely distributed, probably to every paper in the state. Clearly that agency's intent was to maximize distribution. It appeared in a number of larger papers and blogs that I checked. I checked the MS copyright law, and it is extremely liberal. Very few things are exceptions to their blanket open records act. The exceptions are mainly for health and employee records, for instance. The state statues, all sections of which I read, does not indicate any restriction.

Dear Team Member,
Being humble, I request you to please help me know how come the article and its content is not notable. Would request you to read the article completely once for the humble concerns. I know there are scenarios where the products of a company are really notable within their most interactive systems. Here too, the same issue exists where the products are widely popular on social medias. In respect of intellectual rights, its a general practice where none allows the copy and redistribute of contents. Hence, even being notable, you will find least articles out on their social media platforms.
Would request you to help and guide and further consider the request once again. I really want to learn from you, but this is something very important in which I seek your utmost support. And yes indeed, no other website can provide such level of notability which WIKIPEDIA itself can provide. Being true, want to hear back from you positively.
Best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sauravbhardwaj ( talk • contribs) 20:13, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

I don't see a better place to post this so I am putting it here. It does appear that this file should be deleted. My assumption that an art work in a public place can be copied and distributed without restriction appears to be wrong. Sorry. I wonder how Google is able to publish unedited street views.
Please read and try to understand Wikipedia:Privacy policy. You should never reveal the actual name of an author who uses a nick name. Maintaining anonymity is one of the highest privileges of Wikipedians, and this should never be compromised. Therefore, the box in the article says Cryptically "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject." and is not as blunt and open as your wording, although it actually means the same. -- NearEMPTiness ( talk) 06:34, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

I saw your message about the photo of A.M.W. Stirling. That was eight years ago, and things were looser then about permission, but as I recall, I had emailed the De Morgan Foundation for permission, which they granted with attribution. I'm not sure a formal template even existed at the time to verify the obtaining of permission.
I've not been involved with the day-to-day business of Wikipedia for a couple of years, and sadly lack the time to immerse myself in reviewing procedures. I don't know whether there are folks currently devoted to preserving content who might want to obtain permission from the Foundation. Thanks, Cynwolfe ( talk) 16:46, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Suresh (1928-1979) was a notable actor of Bollywood, who acted as a Hero in several films in 1940s and 1950s and as a supporting artiste in major films later on. He produced his own film also. I am still editing his page for filmography. Vkjoshi123 ( talk) 07:23, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
@Ramaksoud2000
I am giving details of a few films uploaded on Youtube,(among many others) where he is cited as a Hero and producer of a film, and is shown acting, viz (1)"Diwana" (1952) opposite Suraiya,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbIh6Xlyq9A,
(2)'Yasmin' (1955) opposite Vyajantimala,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9a55IyzGoU,
(3)'Dastan' (1950), opposite Suraiya, as a co-hero, with Raj Kapoor,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt8cCFjTUV8
(4)'Ganga aur Suraj' (1980) as producer, starring Sunil Dutt, Shashi Kapoor, Reena Roy,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgiJFcWppj0
to name only a few.
He acted in over 55 films, no mean achievement.

@Ramaksoud2000
What further proof is required when his films, with citation, approved by the Censor Board of India have been given as evidence. You can watch his name in the Title Role as hero and producer. After all he was of a generation when, there were few actors of his caliber and he died early in 1979. Vkjoshi123 ( talk) 08:13, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
Regarding your comment on Yobot's page: Subst date does not work inside references. It is very rare that some adds it though.

I just made another entry for the Dry Creek Airport that you had previously deleted. The new entry is almost identical to another airport that is published in Wike - Spruce Creek Airport.

I noticed you removed a sockpuppet's edits. I understand it is the right thing to remove sockpuppet's edits but that edit wasn't violating anything. I'm not a sockpuppet and I made edits to the festival section by adding many festivals that weren't included last month. I'm not sure who the sockpuppet is but I don't think it's necessary to delete that since it wasn't only the sockpuppet's edits, I made constructive edits to that section too. According to the guidelines of Wikipedia it says, "it isn't necessary or desirable to try to revert every single article edit the sock puppet has ever made" and I don't think it's necessary to delete that information since it's informative.

Second, the consensus is not strictly determined by the number of votes. Per

When closing, a summary of the arguments should be given (see

We now have 805 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at
PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Good day. Regarding my recent insertion of images onto the CFB North Bay page, that were deleted, you cited, "I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license." I made it abundantly clear in the uploading and in the credit lines that these images (a) belong to the subject--22 Wing/Canadian Forces Base North Bay--and that (b) I, an officer on this base, uploaded the images with the Base Commander's permission. That is I uploaded the images on behalf of their owner, with his full permission. I expect that you are probably not Canadian nor are familiar with how permissions work with respect to images belonging to units of the Canadian Armed Forces, so I understand your confusion in this matter. (a) The images come from the air base's archives. (b) The Wing Heritage Officer on each Royal Canadian Air Force base is the Base Commander's representative of its history and heritage to the media and the public. (c) To carry out his or her mandate, each Wing Heritage Officer is permitted by the Base Commander to use images from their archives, towards telling the history and heritage of the base. For example, this year is the 75th anniversary of the Royal Air Force setting up its Trans-Atlantic Training Unit at North Bay; the Second World War flying school taught Allied airmen from as far away as Australia the tricks of trans-Atlantic flying and how to deal with emergencies that crop up along the way. My office shall be employing a host of images from the base archives on-line, in standard media, and in public displays to commemorate the school and its accomplishments. If you want proof of who I am and what I have asserted, Google Captain Doug Newman North Bay. If you wish you can also e-mail the air base for confirmation, or e-mail me raymond.newman@forces.gc.ca. In the meantime, reinstate the images please. They are our images provided by us.
If you have any further concerns please contact me to discuss before you delete or alter anything. I shall do everything I can to placate these concerns to your satisfaction. Thank you. Yours respectfully, Doug Newman, Captain, 22 Wing/Canadian Forces Base North Bay 22WHERO ( talk) 15:06, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
