Hi Nizil, on a number of Rajput clan pages (Jethwa, Jadeja possibly others) there is a user who is adding a pre-written paragraph about Rajputisation regardless of whether it applies to the specific clan or not using the same sources in each (again regardless of whether it is related or not).

Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
== ITN recognition for [[Hasu Yajnik]] ==


Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]]. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].</small>

== Nomination of [[:Tasnim Mir]] for deletion ==
<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Ambox warning orange.svg|48px|alt=|link=]]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article '''[[:Tasnim Mir]]''' is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to [[Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] or whether it should be [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted]].


I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. [[User:Sturmvogel 66|Sturmvogel 66]] ([[User talk:Sturmvogel 66|talk]]), and [[User:Cwmhiraeth|Cwmhiraeth]] ([[User talk:Cwmhiraeth|talk]])
The article will be discussed at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tasnim Mir]] until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

{{ping|Redmu3212}}, thank you for engaging in discussion. First, I am not Wikipedia administrator and I have not deleted Eidgah article either. So you should contact the concerned person for it. Ragarding title, Janmasthan and Janmabhumi are the same thing. Both mean 'place of birth'. So there is no point in changing the name. "Janmasthan" is kept because the official website of the temple call itself "Janmasthan" temple. Anyway both are same thing so it is irrelevant. If you have any compelling argument for changing name, engage in the discussion on talkpage where others will participate. I think the name change is unnecessary.

Regarding "still exist" which you keep adding, it is already clear that it still exist so there is no need to write it. It is already mentioned in the next sentences that the new temple complex was built adjacent to "mosque". So it is self-evident that it is still there.

== Regarding Niruben Amin Page ==

Hi Nizil Shah,

I am approaching you with regards to a few statements noticed in the Early Life section of Niruben Amin page. Regarding two statements that say, “She was married but later separated from her husband” and “During her final college year, her husband died under suspicion of suicide,” I had talked with the author (Peter Flugel) of the academic source provided for these statements. I had recently e-mailed him asking to change or remove them from his scholarly works in good faith, as they seem to be against her real-life story.
Well, he has replied that he will consider doing so in future publications. He cannot do anything about old publications, perhaps as that needs republishing, which is a time-consuming affair. So, can you consider removing these two statements from her page? Can the due and undue weight policy of Wikipedia, specifying that a viewpoint held by small minority even if proved is considered non-substantial, be applied here?[[User:Dipalig|Dipalig]] ([[User talk:Dipalig|talk]]) 10:58, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

:{{ping|Dipalig}}, thank you for contacting me. These two sentences does not fall under undue weight policy because it is not about viewpoints. Flugel had told you that he will "consider" your opinion but has not accepted it or have not published it either. We can not cite such conversation as a reference. You had only asked him to {{tq|to change or remove them from his scholarly works in "good faith", as they seem to be "against her real-life story."}} I don't understand why did you asked him to remove it in "good faith". Are two sentences which you have mentioned true? [[User:Nizil Shah|Nizil]] ([[User talk:Nizil Shah#top|talk]]) 14:13, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

::Really appreciate your prompt reply. However, I wish to inform you that you have misunderstood what I am trying to say. ‘In good faith’, here, means without accusing the author of his work (being humane) while convincing him to have faith in what I was telling him about Niruma’s life incidents and their impact on the followers. It is not humane to hurt the author’s work sentiments in order to convince him. While conveying to the author, I did not want to blame or accuse him, which means keeping good faith in him that he will understand my talks. Yes, we cannot cite such conversation as reference. However, I am sharing it with you only for your reference, as you have been reverting the removal of these sentences quite frequently by stating that the source is academic. I have also stated that the author shared his consent to consider not adding such statements in future publications. It is obvious that he will not go ahead and take the pain of removing from his existing works. So, if the author has understood and is willing to not use such statements in future publications, then why should we spread something non-substantial about a spiritual lady who is popular even after leaving the mortal body? So, I had requested you to consider removing ONLY those statements from Wiki page, nothing else! [[User:Dipalig|Dipalig]] ([[User talk:Dipalig|talk]]) 15:12, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

:::You have not answered my last question. Are these two sentences true? Please keep your answer short and clear. [[User:Nizil Shah|Nizil]] ([[User talk:Nizil Shah#top|talk]]) 16:31, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

:::: Those two statements are not true.[[User:Dipalig|Dipalig]] ([[User talk:Dipalig|talk]]) 17:18, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

:::::How do you know that these two statements are not true? Any sources or references? -[[User:Nizil Shah|Nizil]] ([[User talk:Nizil Shah#top|talk]]) 03:04, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

:::::: Ask anybody else who know the lady and you will not get these statements. This is mass view that these statements are not true. It is only Flugel Peter who is conveying these statements due to which we tried to approach him. Nowhere else you will find these statements made by anyone else (online and offline sources). It is true that we do not have any source that Wiki believes to be reliable. So, what can be done now?[[User:Dipalig|Dipalig]] ([[User talk:Dipalig|talk]]) 06:35, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

:::::: Mass view/belief can not be taken as an evidence of truth. Flugel had researched the topic and he may have unearthed facts which are unknown to people or are not believed as true by masses. This is what a good scholar do. Has Flugel accepted that these statements are false and he made up himself? He can retract these statements as a falsehood. I don't find that he ever accepted these as falsehood in an email communication with you. Without any reference which prove these statements are false or Flugel retracts them in his original publication, we should not remove these sentences just because these are not a mass belief. According to [[WP:CENSOR]], Wikipedia is not censored. I hope it clarifies.-[[User:Nizil Shah|Nizil]] ([[User talk:Nizil Shah#top|talk]]) 07:13, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
::::::: I have emailed Flugel and awaiting his reply. -[[User:Nizil Shah|Nizil]] ([[User talk:Nizil Shah#top|talk]]) 07:42, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

:::::::See [[Talk:Niruben Amin#Husband death]]. I have removed the text for now. He told me that there is no counter-evidence for it. But he suggested me to remove it "to prevent further aggravation and email traffic." So I have removed it. Please note that other editors may feel otherwise and can reinstate it. I have left note on Talkpage. I want clarify that he has not accepted those sentences as "false". So according to him, these are true. Regards, [[User:Nizil Shah|Nizil]] ([[User talk:Nizil Shah#top|talk]]) 13:33, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

:::::::Thank you Nizil Shah for considering this case. I am also grateful to the author. However, I just want to bring to your notice that of the two statements for which the issue was raised, only the one related to suicide has been removed. The other statement, {{tq|She was married.}}, is still there. Further your rephrasing still retain the meaning that she was married.[[User:Dipalig|Dipalig]] ([[User talk:Dipalig|talk]]) 14:13, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

::::::::Was she not married? Is it false? -[[User:Nizil Shah|Nizil]] ([[User talk:Nizil Shah#top|talk]]) 17:43, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

:::::::::Yes, she was not married.

WikiCup 2023 September newsletter

[edit]

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

  • New York (state) Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
  • Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
  • Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.

Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)
