I saw your message on my talk page. I literally, did not have anything other than those words, to tell him. You just don't know what havoc he is creating. (see [1] and [2]. Please be patient and read everything in the links I provided. I had created a page, Annwesha Hazra, and he was the first to put a deletation tag, and claimed it to be advertising Annwesha. Well I had already declared that I have a coi of Annwesha Hazra, because I am paid to make a page for her. But this Possibly (user) is saying that I am advertising about her. Now you can also go up to that page, and read everything out there. I say, that there is not a single word there, that suggests that I am advertising about her. And he is just getting on my nerves. So I had to say that. I hope you will help me to the most extent that you can. Thanking you. Mynameisparitoshmandal ( talk) 14:12, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi Vexations, Thank you for adding an archived link to Jan Frydrych re: the Award Alliance. It seems that Award Alliance is a company that fabricates glass trophy awards [3] and other promotional memorabilia. I'm not sure this is an actual award that the artist received, or if it is something he designed in conjunction with the company. Ping me if you want to discuss.

The "article" is a horrid mess. Appears a ref close was missed, so a lot of intended content ended up in ref #12. After you reverted, someone else deleted #12 entirely. I have no intention of editing this any more, but I expect it to be either draftified or Speedy deleted by an Admin.

Hello Vexations,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

Hello,
Its been some time since I've decided to write an article or edit on Wikipedia, due to school and volunteer work, and general laziness. Since you're a senior editor I've come here. I've been looking through WP:RA but its hard to find an article to write about, at least compared to the last time I went there to find a topic to write about. I was wondering if you could give me a few leads or topics to write on, just somewhere to start off, since I've tried to write an article but to no avail. Senator LEVI 17:18, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi. Hope you will be doing well. I just saw that you have put a tag of "Speedy Deletion" on the article I wrote (Suraj Beera). Can you please highlight the areas which you think looks promotional? The content is backed by several references including some renowned and independent sites. He has done several successful commercial projects and is a famous entrepreneur and has got a lot of coverage in several notable channels. If still there is something that looks like an advertisement, please highlight it so that I can make edits. I tried my best to make it neutral but your feedback will be really helpful on the areas which you think looks promotional. Thanks Billyatthewheels ( talk) 17:04, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Vexations ( talk) 14:07, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
Widely recognized as one of the preeminent theorists and outstanding international practitioners of online textological critique, Vexation’s methodology considers the anthropomorphization of the noosphere as an autologic lens for exploring the human condition. They interrogate both the mechanism of appearance and the creation of taxonomic structures, allowing to present themselves in an openly discursive way. Vexations’s groundbreaking work involves a questioning of language, as well as a reinvention of the enunciatory modality of speech. Their far-reaching projects query notions of authorship, ownership, and originality that might otherwise go unnoticed. Vexations is a leading practitioner of acute technology-based interventions with compulsory real-time participatory stakeholder engagement. They work across narrative, adopting archival material to disrupt our perception of objectivity, perspective, and truth. In a complex, research-oriented practice, occupying the space between modes of production and investigation, Vexations challenges the ephemeral nature of collective manufacture of epistemological discourse by foregrounding post-capitalist processes of origination. Assuming iconoclastic positions in regards to authority and history they provide a highly contemporary counterpoint when juxtaposed against colonialist ethnography, rejecting Western conceptions of representation.What do you think?

Hello, I am experienced wikipedian and in the past ten years I have created Knihovna umění project in Czech Wikipedia and Art Library Project on Wikimedia Commons. It serves as the basis for translations into other languages. As a scientist by profession, I am used to exploit printed sources for my articles on artists. You can call it an old-fashioned approach, but these sources are much more reliable than internet. This applies also to the list of representation in collections. How can you possibly verify the list by in-line citations, when most collections are (to my sorrow) not accessible on internet?-- NoJin ( talk) 20:00, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi Vexations, unless I'm missing something, I'm not sure what the threat was that you removed here? I don't know if you have been following the threads on twitter, where I have felt somewhat 'under attack', but I do think this new editor is trying to do the right thing and so while I disagree with some of their characterisations of my editing, I'm certainly not wanting to add fuel to the fire here by not allowing them to discuss it. Can you have another look, and/or explain what I'm not seeing there? Thanks! Melcous ( talk) 14:25, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Vexations,
I was looking at the contributions of a sockpuppet and found he worked on this article. Looking at the log for the article, it's very confusing because it has been created and deleted many times. The current version was reviewed by you so I just wanted to ask if you had seen the page log when you reviewed this article and were you satisfied with it? Thanks in advance. Liz Read!

Vexations,
A month late, but I have now gone through the list you posted on the WikiProject Anime and Manga talk page about a month ago and reviewed the ones that hadn't already been reviewed, except for Delicious Party Pretty Cure, which requires some more cleanup before I'm ready to mark it reviewed. I plan to come back to that one later. Bensci54 ( talk) 17:58, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello Vexations. Hope you are well. Perhaps you can help out again? I have to tell you that User: Graywalls came back to the Tellus Audio Cassette Magazine page and tagged it as Copypaste at its origin when created by User:Tellus archivist (who long since left editing here - a pity) (NOT ME / NEVER WAS ME). I looked back and indeed User:Tellus archivist - self-identified as the blogger "Continuo" - from where the Copypaste claim is directed - was the person who wrote the first draft of the history of Tellus. That would seem to mean to me that, since Tellus archivist/Continuo wrote the text and started the Tellus page with it, there should be no copyright issues. Is that right? Seems logical to me. If so, would you try to reverse the tag and explain the situation to Graywalls on the talk page? I do not wish to get anywhere near the Tellus page now - or Graywalls ever again. Thank you in advance for whatever you can do on this. Valueyou ( talk) 10:36, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
Could you perhaps take a look at Draft:Jade Mountain Illustrating the Gathering of Scholars at the Lanting Pavilion? I noticed its existence a week ago, found it very promising even though (as is to be expected in drafts) with deficiencies and oddities, and did some work to it. I couldn't accept it but didn't want to decline it; so I did neither. I hoped and indeed expected that my critical comments would lead to its improvement to a publishable state and to its quick acceptance.
No such luck. Thanks to this edit by its creator, it now contains additional oddities, notably:
Which is referenced:
I get the distinct impression that the single username that's been the creator/reviser represents more than one person.
I am ... vexed. I have a vague sense that I should now step back from this draft and let some other reviewer take over. Perhaps ... you? -- Hoary ( talk) 03:30, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Vexations. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Deborah Anzinger".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 19:47, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Category:Rwandan music video directors indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself. Liz Read!

Hello Vexations - This [20] has appeared again as a draft, but should have been salted long ago. I know you are very busy, but perhaps you remember the AfDs that were riddled with COI, UPE, sockpuppetry, disruptive editing, block evasion, etc. AfDs: [21], [22] and were a huge time-sink.
Is it possible to notify an admin active at NPP to nip it in the bud, and if so who would you recommend? Or how to report it before it reaggregates? Thanks in advance.

Hello Vexations, hope you are doing well. I came across this draft you started on Laddie John Dill. It took my interest as I remember his work well from California in the 60s and 70s. I've made some improvements, and altho it is still a short article, it now clearly will pass NARTIST and GNG. Would you mind if I moved it to article space?

Thanks for helping to solve the puzzle of the AfD for the stub that used to be Bibi Khanum. I'm afraid I don't agree with your decision to now do a straight redirect of "Bibi Khanum" to Bibi Khanoom Astarabadi, though.
The most famous Bibi Khanum in history is Saray Mulk Khanum (c.1341–1408), the original "Bibi Khanum" who was a direct descendant of Genghis Khan (hence called "Khanum"). Popular legend is that Timur, founder of the Timurid Empire, commissioned the building of the famous Bibi-Khanym Mosque and named it after Saray as his favorite consort (hence the term "Bibi Khanum" or "Bibi-Khanym" later becoming an honorific meaning "lady queen" or "favorite wife" if I understand correctly). Saray's own Wikipedia bio suggests that she's the one who commissioned the mosque.
I regret not piecing that together during the AfD discussion, but it's not my area of history (and I'm sure someone else could explain it better and more accurately) and I thought it might complicate things, so I didn't delve any further. But now that I know this after about 30 minutes of reading on the Internet, I think it's wrong to keep the Bibi Khanum redirect pointing to Astarabadi – if it's the alternate spelling you are after, how about creating a redirect from "Bibi Khanum Astarabadi" instead? Perhaps "Bibi Khanum" could be a disambiguation page instead? Or just leave it deleted for now?

Hi Vexations, I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join the new page reviewing team. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; the new page reviewing team needs help from experienced users. Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, most pages are easy to review, and habits are quick to develop). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR. If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page or at the reviewer's discussion board. Cheers, and hope to see you around, ( t · c) buidhe 17:37, 10 June 2022 (UTC) |

Vexations’s groundbreaking work involves a questioning of language, as well as a reinvention of the enunciatory modality of speech. Their far-reaching projects query notions of authorship, ownership, and originality that might otherwise go unnoticed. Vexations is a leading practitioner of acute technology-based interventions with compulsory real-time participatory stakeholder engagement. They work across narrative, adopting archival material to disrupt our perception of objectivity, perspective, and truth. In a complex, research-oriented practice, occupying the space between modes of production and investigation, Vexations challenges the ephemeral nature of collective manufacture of epistemological discourse by foregrounding post-capitalist processes of origination. Assuming iconoclastic positions in regards to authority and history they provide a highly contemporary counterpoint when juxtaposed against colonialist ethnography, rejecting Western conceptions of representation.What do you think?

Hello, I am experienced wikipedian and in the past ten years I have created Knihovna umění project in Czech Wikipedia and Art Library Project on Wikimedia Commons. It serves as the basis for translations into other languages. As a scientist by profession, I am used to exploit printed sources for my articles on artists. You can call it an old-fashioned approach, but these sources are much more reliable than internet. This applies also to the list of representation in collections. How can you possibly verify the list by in-line citations, when most collections are (to my sorrow) not accessible on internet?-- NoJin ( talk) 20:00, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi Vexations, unless I'm missing something, I'm not sure what the threat was that you removed here? I don't know if you have been following the threads on twitter, where I have felt somewhat 'under attack', but I do think this new editor is trying to do the right thing and so while I disagree with some of their characterisations of my editing, I'm certainly not wanting to add fuel to the fire here by not allowing them to discuss it. Can you have another look, and/or explain what I'm not seeing there? Thanks! Melcous ( talk) 14:25, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
The information about Avner Avraham is reliable, very accurate information, with proper and verified references - when it comes to Hebrew. You can see this even if you do not speak Hebrew !!

I can’t find out how now, you once mentioned an editor had an x number of Articles they created to be unreviewed, my question is please what tool did you use to know the number of articles created by a particular user that are yet to be reviewed? Celestina007 ( talk) 11:19, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi Vexations, clearly I missed something with my review on this one. I thought winning an Emmy and being a nominated for another along with his body of work was enough. For my own education, do my mind explaining why you moved it back to draft so I can improve my reviews in the future? S0091 ( talk) 23:13, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
Hello, Vexations,
I was looking at the contributions of a sockpuppet and found he worked on this article. Looking at the log for the article, it's very confusing because it has been created and deleted many times. The current version was reviewed by you so I just wanted to ask if you had seen the page log when you reviewed this article and were you satisfied with it? Thanks in advance. Liz Read!

Making this page a redirect is harmful, not helpful. 179 of the 180 Seinfeld episodes have their own page - what does anyone gain by making this the one and only episode without it's own page? Jericho735 ( talk) 00:30, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

Vexations,
A month late, but I have now gone through the list you posted on the WikiProject Anime and Manga talk page about a month ago and reviewed the ones that hadn't already been reviewed, except for Delicious Party Pretty Cure, which requires some more cleanup before I'm ready to mark it reviewed. I plan to come back to that one later. Bensci54 ( talk) 17:58, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I wanted to ask you if "double sculpture" is a category we have or need - or maybe it is a one-off? I came across the term when writing an article called Mephistopheles & Margaretta. Thank you in advance! Bruxton ( talk) 20:57, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.

Hello Vexations, 90 days ago I upload the entry which I wrote about Noam Omer and I still don't see it via google search, how is that ? could you please help ? Tzahy ( talk) 18:20, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello Vexations. Hope you are well. Perhaps you can help out again? I have to tell you that User: Graywalls came back to the Tellus Audio Cassette Magazine page and tagged it as Copypaste at its origin when created by User:Tellus archivist (who long since left editing here - a pity) (NOT ME / NEVER WAS ME). I looked back and indeed User:Tellus archivist - self-identified as the blogger "Continuo" - from where the Copypaste claim is directed - was the person who wrote the first draft of the history of Tellus. That would seem to mean to me that, since Tellus archivist/Continuo wrote the text and started the Tellus page with it, there should be no copyright issues. Is that right? Seems logical to me. If so, would you try to reverse the tag and explain the situation to Graywalls on the talk page? I do not wish to get anywhere near the Tellus page now - or Graywalls ever again. Thank you in advance for whatever you can do on this. Valueyou ( talk) 10:36, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
Could you perhaps take a look at Draft:Jade Mountain Illustrating the Gathering of Scholars at the Lanting Pavilion? I noticed its existence a week ago, found it very promising even though (as is to be expected in drafts) with deficiencies and oddities, and did some work to it. I couldn't accept it but didn't want to decline it; so I did neither. I hoped and indeed expected that my critical comments would lead to its improvement to a publishable state and to its quick acceptance.
No such luck. Thanks to this edit by its creator, it now contains additional oddities, notably:
Which is referenced:
I get the distinct impression that the single username that's been the creator/reviser represents more than one person.
I am ... vexed. I have a vague sense that I should now step back from this draft and let some other reviewer take over. Perhaps ... you? -- Hoary ( talk) 03:30, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello Vexations - This [20] has appeared again as a draft, but should have been salted long ago. I know you are very busy, but perhaps you remember the AfDs that were riddled with COI, UPE, sockpuppetry, disruptive editing, block evasion, etc. AfDs: [21], [22] and were a huge time-sink.
Is it possible to notify an admin active at NPP to nip it in the bud, and if so who would you recommend? Or how to report it before it reaggregates? Thanks in advance.

Hello Vexations, hope you are doing well. I came across this draft you started on Laddie John Dill. It took my interest as I remember his work well from California in the 60s and 70s. I've made some improvements, and altho it is still a short article, it now clearly will pass NARTIST and GNG. Would you mind if I moved it to article space?

Thanks for helping to solve the puzzle of the AfD for the stub that used to be Bibi Khanum. I'm afraid I don't agree with your decision to now do a straight redirect of "Bibi Khanum" to Bibi Khanoom Astarabadi, though.
The most famous Bibi Khanum in history is Saray Mulk Khanum (c.1341–1408), the original "Bibi Khanum" who was a direct descendant of Genghis Khan (hence called "Khanum"). Popular legend is that Timur, founder of the Timurid Empire, commissioned the building of the famous Bibi-Khanym Mosque and named it after Saray as his favorite consort (hence the term "Bibi Khanum" or "Bibi-Khanym" later becoming an honorific meaning "lady queen" or "favorite wife" if I understand correctly). Saray's own Wikipedia bio suggests that she's the one who commissioned the mosque.
I regret not piecing that together during the AfD discussion, but it's not my area of history (and I'm sure someone else could explain it better and more accurately) and I thought it might complicate things, so I didn't delve any further. But now that I know this after about 30 minutes of reading on the Internet, I think it's wrong to keep the Bibi Khanum redirect pointing to Astarabadi – if it's the alternate spelling you are after, how about creating a redirect from "Bibi Khanum Astarabadi" instead? Perhaps "Bibi Khanum" could be a disambiguation page instead? Or just leave it deleted for now?

Hi Vexations, I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join the new page reviewing team. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; the new page reviewing team needs help from experienced users. Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, most pages are easy to review, and habits are quick to develop). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR. If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page or at the reviewer's discussion board. Cheers, and hope to see you around, ( t · c) buidhe 17:37, 10 June 2022 (UTC) |
