Hi Van, I am not sure what you are saying here. I asked for an RfC feedback on one issue only, viz., whether the Nussbaum quote is fit for the lead. I am not sure what your proposal is. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 17:36, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
Hey Vanamonde93, I have seen your recent warnings on other user pages regarding the sock of Wikiexplorer13 ( talk · contribs). I have no objection to that but do wish to inform you that there is another IP hopper who is back now. The reason behind this is two-fold, (a) to differentiate between Wikiexplorer13 ( talk · contribs) and Taiwan (though their modus operandi is the same the IPs they use differ) (b) to ask for suggestions to avoid another mess. I believe you have been sort of involved with this one in the past. You can find more details here User:Mfb/Taiwanese articles. The IP has already disrupted a few pages related to Taiwan Sky Bow, Tuo Chiang-class corvette, AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-kuo and Sky Sword. Based on past experience, the IP will hound me into other pages I edit namely India, Pakistan and Afghanistan related. Any advice on how to deal with this given the area has already seen enough disruption from other sources? In the past we have requested semi-protection for these pages but that takes some time. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Adamgerber80 ( talk) 14:40, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi, believe you or not, this and this is a formal violation of 1RR. Whereas I sincerely support your edits, someone may report you (that is not a joke, unfortunately). I stop editing so far to diminish the amount of pretexts for wikilawyering. Let me know when you finish. In future, when you plan to remove some text (which is automatically considered a revert, alas), it is better to coordinate our efforts to avoid formal 1RR violations.-- Paul Siebert ( talk) 06:17, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors June 2018 News
![]() Welcome to the June 2018 GOCE newsletter, in which you will find Guild updates since the February edition. Progress continues to be made on the copyediting backlog, which has been reduced to 7 months and reached a new all-time low. Requests continue to be handled efficiently this year, with 272 completed by the end of May (an average completion time of 10.5 days). Fewer than 10% of these waited longer than 20 days, and the longest wait time was 29 days. Wikipedia in general, and the Guild in particular, experienced a deep loss with the death on 20 March of Corinne. Corinne (a GOCE coordinator since 1 July 2016) was a tireless aide on the requests page, and her peerless copyediting is a part of innumerable GAs and FAs. Her good cheer, courtesy and tact are very much missed. March drive: The goal was to remove June, July and August 2017 from our backlog and all February 2018 Requests (a total of 219 articles). This drive was an outstanding success, and by the end of the month all but eight of these articles were cleared. Of the 33 editors who signed up, 19 recorded 277 copy edits (425,758 words). April blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 15 through 21 April, focusing on Requests and the last eight articles tagged in August 2017. At the end of the week there were only 17 pending requests, with none older than 17 days. Of the nine editors who signed up, eight editors completed 22 copy edits (62,412 words). May drive: We set out to remove September, October and November 2017 from our backlog and all April 2018 Requests (a total of 298 articles). There was great success this month with the backlog more than halved from 1,449 articles at the beginning of the month to a record low of 716 articles. Officially, of the 20 who signed up, 15 editors recorded 151 copy edits (248,813 words). Coordinator elections: It's election time again. Nominations for Guild coordinators (who will serve a six-month term for the second half of 2018) have begun, and will close at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible, and self-nominations are encouraged. Voting will take place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June. June blitz: Stay tuned for this one-week copy-editing blitz, which will take place in mid-June. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Corinne, Jonesey95, Miniapolis, Reidgreg and Tdslk. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

I honestly thought someone would more reasonably look into the deletion of E-money's page. He's a very notable person and worth of mention on Wikipedia but because he lives a very non-social/media life, it's difficult to talk about him on Wikipedia because they don't accept news from blogs -- not realizing that in Nigeria blogs are the top visited news sources much more than newspapers. https://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries/NG
I have considered appealing this directly to Wikipedia body but not sure it's worth my time. I am just visiting the site now and noticing the notifications. This is not a good approach, people should apply contextual judgment to articles. Make some research to validate if an author's claims are true. A successful businessman should not have to participate in the stock market or mentioned on Forbes to be recognized. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Opatachibueze ( talk • contribs) 14:26, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi Vanamonde93. While I was watching my Edit count section via the tool on the link, I recalled that when I was still a newbie on enwiki, on October 20, 2016, I received a message with a notification about the speedy deletion of MilosHaran. I did not know in that time where should I ask for more information, due to Wikipedia's rather confusing bureaucracies. The thing is that I did not create that page, and I do not know who or what MilosHaran is. Since I am not its creator, I would like to have MilosHaran removed from the list of pages created by me, as showed by the tool on the link above. I can ask for this at the Village pump but it is probably better to talk with you, since you are the administrator who deleted the page. Ktrimi991 ( talk) 23:02, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

On 18 June 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Leyla Express and Johnny Express incidents, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after Cuba seized the freighter Johnny Express, Manuel Noriega helped negotiate the release of the captain? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Leyla Express and Johnny Express incidents. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Leyla Express and Johnny Express incidents), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi Vanamonde93, this page was created as Kleeb Lamduan, moved to Kleeb Lamduan by Paul 012 without discussion, moved back by me without discussion (which is my mistake as I didn't see his previous move) and now moved back again with my attempt at discussion ignored. I left a contested deletion message at talk:Kleeb lamduan which you have now deleted, and left a message at User talk:Paul 012 which I am yet to receive a response to. I will repeat what I said in both locations - all the sources I can find use Kleeb Lamduan, including all those cited in the article, so per MOS:CAPS, that's what we should use. As I contested this deletion, I would have appreciated at least some sort of message as to why you were go ahead and do it anyway, instead of just completely ignoring me.

I nominated Ringo Choi Wai Wing for speedy deletion at 09:29, 18 June 2018. I think you must have deleted it because you deleted the article's talk page at 12:24, 18 June 2018 (talk page of a deleted article). By 13:05, 18 June 2018, the article creator had re-created it and since then, at 16:41, 18 June 2018, another editor has requested it be speedily deleted. It's been a busy day for Ringo!

Hello,
I am E. Whittaker, an intern at Wikimedia with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Hi. I saw that you also added the prose in List of Presidents of the Bharatiya Janata Party for first three candidates. As a suggestion, you can also add to the description for the candidate if anything important happened to BJP party during someone's presidency like BJP forming government.

The third round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Contestants managed 7 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 120 good articles, 1 good topic, 124 DYK entries, 15 ITN entries, and 132 good article reviews. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 458 GA reviews, in comparison to 244 good articles submitted for review and promoted. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process; several submissions, particularly in abstruse or technical areas, have needed additional work to make them completely verifiable.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2018).
Hi Vanamonde-- thanks so much for the help with the Mississippi special election I was working on. Wanted to flag you on an older article I'd created with, Sarstoon Temash Institute for Indigenous Management. I'm getting a bunch of Harv errors there too, but I'm having trouble fixing the issue even though I'm now aware of it. Do you have any suggestions or tips for fixing them moving forward? Thanks! Nomader ( talk) 22:22, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
I'm going to reply here to your comments at AE so as not to make my report longer. Honestly, given the scope of the problem I don't see how I can make it any more concise. If you got any suggestions, I'd welcome them. As to your points, Icewhiz acknowledgement of his "error" was to call misrepresenting a source to attack a subject "a mild case of OR". This shows that he doesn't take these kinds of issues seriously. As to the source, this is a far-right anti-semitic source, which is itself misrepresenting Chodakiewicz for its own ends. So then the question becomes, why is Icewhiz using a far-right anti-semitic, clearly unreliable source in a BLP, especially since he claims to object to such sources?
For the Musial diff, I guess that's a matter of interpretation, but Icewhiz's edit makes the statement more extreme than it was.
However, please take a look at the Krajewski issue. There's a reason why I put that up first. Volunteer Marek ( talk) 05:45, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your caution. Yes that is what I intended to restore. The user who turned up there has been tracking my edits and been filing a dubious report against me. He removed the note I added asking for sources, he then removed it giving another dubious reason. Obviously he does not want it there. Can you review the edit and add it there? I have not violated the topic ban and have not edited any India-Pakistan conflict pages.-- NadirAli نادر علی ( talk) 03:22, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi! I've just reverted several of this user's contributions because they added blatantly fake information to articles, and in some cases, deleted correct information to add their bogus content. I glanced at their talk page and block log, and noticed you were the last to block them (they've already been blocked three times) with the explanation "Persistent addition of unsourced content. The previous block was for two weeks; the next is likely to be indefinite, unless the editor amends their ways." I would highly recommend indefing them at this point, as glancing through most of their previous contributions shows not a single helpful/truthful edit. Cheers, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 15:10, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello Vanamonde93, I want to know the reason why the page 'Brij Raj Oberoi' was marked for speedy deletion. As per the criteria mention A7 and G11. The indication of importance was mentioned as the person is a hotelier and has been mentioned in other Wikipedia article. And the article was properly cited from reliable resources of newspapers like Fortune, The Hindu etc. And it was not a promotional article as many newspapers have talked about him. Could you please tell me in detail why the article was tagged for Speedy deletion? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alfie 09 ( talk • contribs) 11:52, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
-- Alfie 09 ( talk) 13:12, 24 June 2018 (UTC)::@ Alfie 09: Sure! As you mentioned the article had promotional language I am willing to work on it again and make sure it meets the guidelines. However, I would need your help in understanding what part you feel as promotional as I don't see anything which is promotional in the article. There is a ambiguity in understanding the guideline in what is written and what is followed, as this article Twaron is just cited from the person website and other links doesn't even exist now. So I would really need a help into understanding this.
@ Vanamonde93: You have been very helpful and patient to answer my queries. I am really thankful to you as it helped me alot. Alfie 09 ( talk) 12:29, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Vanamonde93, this page was created as Kleeb Lamduan, moved to Kleeb Lamduan by Paul 012 without discussion, moved back by me without discussion (which is my mistake as I didn't see his previous move) and now moved back again with my attempt at discussion ignored. I left a contested deletion message at talk:Kleeb lamduan which you have now deleted, and left a message at User talk:Paul 012 which I am yet to receive a response to. I will repeat what I said in both locations - all the sources I can find use Kleeb Lamduan, including all those cited in the article, so per MOS:CAPS, that's what we should use. As I contested this deletion, I would have appreciated at least some sort of message as to why you were go ahead and do it anyway, instead of just completely ignoring me.

I nominated Ringo Choi Wai Wing for speedy deletion at 09:29, 18 June 2018. I think you must have deleted it because you deleted the article's talk page at 12:24, 18 June 2018 (talk page of a deleted article). By 13:05, 18 June 2018, the article creator had re-created it and since then, at 16:41, 18 June 2018, another editor has requested it be speedily deleted. It's been a busy day for Ringo! Is it time to salt him, not forgetting the original version, Ringo Choi? Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 17:55, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

How CAN we lift the "consensus required to restore challenged edits" restriction from that article and others? The admin who placed it is (self) indef blocked. Any discussion of removing it always falls through because of someone's veto. Volunteer Marek ( talk) 14:01, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Please check: I noticed yesterday that Barry McDaniel died on 18 June, searched for references and nominated him for RD under 18 June. Was that the right place? Anything else I ned to do to raise attention? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:33, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello,
I am E. Whittaker, an intern at Wikimedia with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Hi. I saw that you also added the prose in List of Presidents of the Bharatiya Janata Party for first three candidates. As a suggestion, you can also add to the description for the candidate if anything important happened to BJP party during someone's presidency like BJP forming government.
And I also recently nominated List of Sunrisers Hyderabad cricketers for FL rating. Please feel free to leave comments here. Thanks. Sagavaj ( talk) 05:45, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi Vanamonde93, thanks for the tags for Newberry Volcano. In the future if you notice such inconsistencies, could you make a note on the talk page or send a message to the primary editors of the page? Sorry, I didn't see your tags until just now. ceran thor 14:40, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

The third round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Contestants managed 7 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 120 good articles, 1 good topic, 124 DYK entries, 15 ITN entries, and 132 good article reviews. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 458 GA reviews, in comparison to 244 good articles submitted for review and promoted. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process; several submissions, particularly in abstruse or technical areas, have needed additional work to make them completely verifiable.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

How exactly are these wonderful news-pieces generated? I've found countless such cases in TOI's reporting but am at dark as to the method behind it.....Some sort of automated-program (even they ought be better)? ∯WBG converse 06:49, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2018).
Hi Vanamonde-- thanks so much for the help with the Mississippi special election I was working on. Wanted to flag you on an older article I'd created with, Sarstoon Temash Institute for Indigenous Management. I'm getting a bunch of Harv errors there too, but I'm having trouble fixing the issue even though I'm now aware of it. Do you have any suggestions or tips for fixing them moving forward? Thanks! Nomader ( talk) 22:22, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
I'm going to reply here to your comments at AE so as not to make my report longer. Honestly, given the scope of the problem I don't see how I can make it any more concise. If you got any suggestions, I'd welcome them. As to your points, Icewhiz acknowledgement of his "error" was to call misrepresenting a source to attack a subject "a mild case of OR". This shows that he doesn't take these kinds of issues seriously. As to the source, this is a far-right anti-semitic source, which is itself misrepresenting Chodakiewicz for its own ends. So then the question becomes, why is Icewhiz using a far-right anti-semitic, clearly unreliable source in a BLP, especially since he claims to object to such sources?
For the Musial diff, I guess that's a matter of interpretation, but Icewhiz's edit makes the statement more extreme than it was.
However, please take a look at the Krajewski issue. There's a reason why I put that up first. Volunteer Marek ( talk) 05:45, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your caution. Yes that is what I intended to restore. The user who turned up there has been tracking my edits and been filing a dubious report against me. He removed the note I added asking for sources, he then removed it giving another dubious reason. Obviously he does not want it there. Can you review the edit and add it there? I have not violated the topic ban and have not edited any India-Pakistan conflict pages.-- NadirAli نادر علی ( talk) 03:22, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi! I've just reverted several of this user's contributions because they added blatantly fake information to articles, and in some cases, deleted correct information to add their bogus content. I glanced at their talk page and block log, and noticed you were the last to block them (they've already been blocked three times) with the explanation "Persistent addition of unsourced content. The previous block was for two weeks; the next is likely to be indefinite, unless the editor amends their ways." I would highly recommend indefing them at this point, as glancing through most of their previous contributions shows not a single helpful/truthful edit. Cheers, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 15:10, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello Vanamonde93, I want to know the reason why the page 'Brij Raj Oberoi' was marked for speedy deletion. As per the criteria mention A7 and G11. The indication of importance was mentioned as the person is a hotelier and has been mentioned in other Wikipedia article. And the article was properly cited from reliable resources of newspapers like Fortune, The Hindu etc. And it was not a promotional article as many newspapers have talked about him. Could you please tell me in detail why the article was tagged for Speedy deletion? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alfie 09 ( talk • contribs) 11:52, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
-- Alfie 09 ( talk) 13:12, 24 June 2018 (UTC)::@ Alfie 09: Sure! As you mentioned the article had promotional language I am willing to work on it again and make sure it meets the guidelines. However, I would need your help in understanding what part you feel as promotional as I don't see anything which is promotional in the article. There is a ambiguity in understanding the guideline in what is written and what is followed, as this article Twaron is just cited from the person website and other links doesn't even exist now. So I would really need a help into understanding this.
@ Vanamonde93: You have been very helpful and patient to answer my queries. I am really thankful to you as it helped me alot. Alfie 09 ( talk) 12:29, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
