Hi Kuru, you kicked out the praebook reference. I checked but cannot find another one. Shall I delete the "may be"-information on the scientist? -- Tschips ( talk) 17:26, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
Happy First Edit Day! Hi Kuru! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of the day you made your first edit and became a Wikipedian! The Herald (Benison) ( talk) 02:41, 8 January 2024 (UTC) |
Good day to you @ Kuru, Thank you for your previous edits to the /info/en/?search=Chanel page. I have COI with Chanel and have spotted inaccurate information on their page.
The current Chanel article states that Chanel have continued to do business in Russia since the start of the war with Ukraine, which is is incorrect. Chanel have stopped doing business in Russia and have even gone as far as to stop selling to Russian buyers outside of their borders.
This has been widely reported in the following places:
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/04/07/opinion/companies-ukraine-boycott.html
https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN2L12C7/
Would you be able to spare some time to update this paragraph so it is accurate? Many thanks, Occasionalpedestrian ( talk) 15:35, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
Greetings Kuru,
Systumm has again promoted Bar Greenzaid (a clearly non-notable YouTuber) to mainspace without any improvements, despite your final warning. I think this type of behaviour is not acceptable from an already disclosed paid editor. Thanks. Maliner ( talk) 18:33, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello, sir. I'm here to discuss Vipulanantha College, and the details I've shared are from their school book, Vipulam. As a former student near the school, I can attest to the accuracy of the information. It's common for schools in northern Sri Lanka to lack citations. If you need clarification, feel free to ask. Rather than removing new edits and promoting the outdated version without modern updates, I hope you understand. Thank you. Zeus2107 ( talk) 13:52, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
Good afternoon,
I received an unsolicited email from a group advertising its experience "for crafting impactful narratives" and offering the "prospect of immortalizing your story on Wikipedia." Out of curiosity, I asked for a specific user to validate the quality of the content this group can produce. In their reply, I was sent a link to this page along with a separate link to acewritingexperts.com. Not sure if you are affiliated with this effort, but if you are not, I thought you would want to know that this claim is being made. Dpapandria ( talk) 19:35, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
Quick follow up:
There's a few threads in there that I need to follow up on when I get some free time, but there's clearly paid editing involved in there. Sam Kuru (talk) 12:50, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
Hey I saw that you edited my draft:deuce mayne. Thank you I appreciate it. I have cleaned up the errors. Is it possible for you to move my article to the mane space? Thank you Indie.expo ( talk) 03:35, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
Happy adminship anniversary! Hi Kuru! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of your successful request for adminship. Enjoy this special day! The Herald (Benison) ( talk) 02:41, 25 January 2024 (UTC) |
I had submitted a page based on an up and coming entrepreneur Tyler Dusty? I sourced him to TikTok And instagram where he has gained quite a following over the years and also added the articles where I had originally found him. It did not let me submit a citation to NY times though which was weird. Have never made a Wiki article before so I thought It would be cool since no one has made one for him yet, whats the reasoning for the deletion? I am Also not really familiar with how the platform works, maybe I submitted something wrong? Charlesdecar ( talk) 17:46, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for editing my draft Melvin Sims III, means a lot. If you have any other suggestions or methods of helping out beginners, would be happy to hear! NeiraMiley ( talk) 06:10, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi Kuru. Thanks for taking the time to review the edits I have to William Erbey's Wikipedia page. However, I'm not sure I understand why they were rejected. Could you expand on your comment "rmv redirect links to a blacklisted seo site" please? The edits were made to add in objective information, based on a reputable source of information (MSN). Thanks very much. Best, Denvercopito ( talk) 10:14, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much, Kuru, for your continual hard work in ridding Wikipedia of promotional material to make it what it is supposed to be - you’re the best! |

I see that you deleted a page Ground News, presumably about https://ground.news, a.k.a. Snapwise Inc. DBA Ground News. That appears to be a notable and indeed useful site, about which it would be useful to make a basic page, which I would be prepared to do. Since you deleted the previous page ( G5: Creation by a blocked or banned user in violation of block or ban), I thought I would check with you first if there was anything I should watch out for, in order to avoid wasting effort! PJTraill ( talk) 19:27, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello. I recently added about Hank Leiber being reassigned to the minor leagues with Baseball Reference Bullpen wiki as my reference. Thats in the first paragraph in MLB career section. Why was the citation not adequate? Baseball Reference is pretty reliable and I cant find it anywhere else. Well, any suggestions? I can delete it, but I think the citation was appropriate. Thank you for your time and have a good day. Theairportman33531 ( talk) 13:41, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi Kuru, after some discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation and the Wikipedia Discord regarding COI/promo wording potentially blurring people's assessment of notability, I wanted to take a stab at some G5, G11, and G12 deleted pages. I came across Spacebit and Draft:Bitget (the latter I actually use to handle cryptocurrency sometimes), and I think they could meet notability with proper work, so I want to take a stab at them. As the deletor, do you have anything I should be alert for and material that could help point me in the right direction, before I recreate them? TLA tlak 03:22, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
Hey Kuru, those images are mine in that I paid for the photographer and the photos all over the internet already, including my website. Same goes for all of the other ones, they're publicly available on webistes and I own them. So can I post them? Fordsavage ( talk) 16:35, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
Are you able to see if the current page that was just created is similar to the one you G5'd in December? CNMall41 ( talk) 02:08, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi, noticed your comments on this page. I've just completed the draft and tried to avoid any advertorial / press release material, removed promotional content, etc. (as this was the primary topic of concern at previous AfDs). What do you think would be the next step? Should I bring it to the teahouse for discussion or would you be able to move it to the main space? Thanks TLA tlak 06:34, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

I suspect that the Steve Franker, whom you banned for 48 hours after engaging in an edit war to change content without sources [4], is using another account [5]. Please compare the edits of both accounts, they are very similar and identical [6] and [7]. Durziil89 ( talk) 17:35, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is User:Baregill demanding real-life info of another editor. Thank you. I'm just letting you know as this is connected to the comment on your talk page that was deleted, as well as the recent demands at Talk:Dnyaneshwar Vidyapeeth Nil Einne ( talk) 02:57, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi Kuru! We're conducting a series of participatory workshops with Wikipedia editors, administrators, researchers, and Wikimedia employees to discuss, and hopefully improve, Wikipedia's structures for online research (see meta research page). In an effort to get the right people in the room to discuss these topics, I'm reaching out here to see if you are interested in participating as an active administrator. We'd work with you to ensure this workshop can fit into your schedule, but are targeting end of April/early May. I'm happy to discuss any of these topics further here or on our talk page. Zentavious ( talk) 14:24, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
I discovered yet another section of The Times of India beyond the two sections of Times of India which I added earlier to your list. This time, it's within the lifestyle subsection, referenced a whopping 185 times. This is huge, If I include drafts it is going to 193 times. Here is the list. Here is a article in lifestyle subsection which contain a disclaimer, all sources does not contain disclaimer. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/spotlight/globsyn-business-school-a-legacy-continuum-of-accomplishments/articleshow/90440692.cms
Two other News publication with small number of citations.
While filtering out sponsored content, I came across sponsored articles from The Economic Times and ZEEBIZ that aren't categorized but are simply mentioned. "Disclaimer - The above content is non-editorial, and TIL hereby disclaims any and all warranties, expressed or implied, relating to it, and does not guarantee, vouch for or necessarily endorse any of the content."
Here are them:

User Jingiby pushes ideological bias against ethnic Macedonians. Everything related to republic of North Macedonia and Macedonians is edited by ethnic Bulgarian from Republic of Bulgaria.
For example about "Georgi Pulevski" the word "Macedonian" is removed constantly by him. The person fought how Macedonians are separate ethnicity but when u try to put his ethnicity it is removed by the Bulgarian editor. It just says he is Mijak (which is ethnographic group of Macedonians). This is like saying someone isn't american he is Californian.
Idk who to ask for help. Every Macedonian is complaining about this user for editing everything related to us. Would be really helpful if u could help our small ethnicity against bias. 46.217.67.206 ( talk) 01:15, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
