Draft:Seth Brundle

Hello. I’d like to thank you for pointing out to me that the draft article I had made for Seth Brundle was copied from Wikia. I had no idea, I took the original Wikipedia article and made it a draft article to work on improving at a later date. Thanks for pointing this out and I have taken precautions to ensure the article will live up to Wikipedia’s guidelines. I’ll be rewriting the article from scratch as soon as possible. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by SeanTheYeti452 (talk • contribs) 22:16, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Charlie Crist

Hi, Diannaa,

I'm wondering if I could have another pass at my edits on Charlie Crist's page regarding some of the controversies in his gubernatorial campaign. I realize some of the formatting (and perhaps even wording) might have been close to the first Ballotpedia source, but I was under the impression that some of the material from the other AP news articles cited included some material *not* on Ballotpedia, correcting at least one of Rev O'Dozier's quotes as well as his form of address (removing a "the" in front of "Reverend," big deal, yes, but you know...), identifying his position within the Crist campaign, and also including the names of contributors Russell Whitney and Volodomyr Shcherban. I do understand the need to keep copyrighted material with its owners - I've been an editor in print publishing for a few decades now - so I'm happy to rewrite as needed, and apologize if I was a bit sloppy in entering the material on the first go-round (it was between copyediting articles for my day job) and tripped any alerts. Thanks for any advice for next steps. - grant 22:25, 11 October 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grantb (talk • contribs)

Hi, Diannaa - I've gone back and rewritten the Charlie Crist material more substantially, added a little more about other notable incidents from other news sources. Hope it works! Best, grant 19:44, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Grantb. The current version is okay from a copyright point of view. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:18, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Edits of Petra

Hello Diannaa,

please, can you advise me, in how I can propper update the Petra page with the information about the 3d documentation of Petra? All the edits I did regarding Petra are legit and coming from me, as a member of the Zamani Project, which actually did the spatial documentation of Petra. What must I do, that our edits are been approved? And how our images, which I uploaded, are been approved? Please advice. Thanks so much. Best Ralph Schroeder — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rscapetown (talk • contribs) 08:20, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in working on Wikipedia. There are a couple of problems with your submission. You cannot post copyright material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder, unless special licensing permissions are in place. That is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, and all content must have the appropriate documentation in place before that can happen. Please see Wikipedia:donating copyrighted materials which explains how it works. For the images, see Commons:OTRS.

The second problem is conflict of interest. Writing an article about your own organisation or that of a client is strongly discouraged, as it is difficult to maintain the required neutral point of view. According to our terms of use, paid editors and people editing on behalf of their employer are required to disclose their conflict of interest by posting a notice on their user page or talk page. I have placed some information about conflict of interest on your user talk page.— Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 09:39, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply Dianna. I read the CoI info you send me. I understand the issue, but if I can present reference (Papers, news articles and other media links) which support the information I am posting, that should be not biased information, or? If I put a notice on my talk page that I am a member of the Zamani Project, would it be then ok to publish my text? At this moment I only talk about the text, not the issue with the copyright of the images. Thanks.Rscapetown (talk) 10:46, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

The text is copyright too, so you can't add it to Wikipedia unless it's released under a compatible license. People with a conflict of interest should not be editing the article at all, but instead making requests per the rule at Wikipedia:Edit requests. If you are being paid to edit, our terms of use require you to place a notice to that effect on your user page. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:35, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Possible Copyvio at Fire hydrant

Hi Diannaa, Earwig's Copyvio Detector shows a high probability of potential copyright content in the Fire hydrant article. Regards Woodlot (talk) 14:25, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the report. Most of the pages listed are Wikipedia mirrors. The Wikipedia article hasn't changed much in the last 10 years. I did however find and remove a recent addition that's copied from elsewhere. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:53, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Question

Hi Dianna. Would you mind taking a look at this and this and make sure I didn't overreact. Personally, I'd like to know where my posts are being posted by others and it seems like really bad practice to do be copying pasting posts made by others onto other pages, but it might not be a WP:COPYVIO per se. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:13, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

It's not a copyvio per se, but rather a violation of the terms of our CC-by license. Also, it's confusing as heck, because it appears that an editor made the post on that page when they actually posted it on a different page. When people have to copy such material (such as at ANI or other noticeboards) they often highlight the copied comments with green using the template {{tq}} and state clearly that it's copied and where they got it from

Oh hey, another thing, the website justpacific.com probably does not own the copyright on the thesis and has no right to add it to their website. We should not therefore be linking to it in articlespace, per WP:ELNEVER. It's not clear from the rule whether or not it's ok to place the link on the talk page though — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:52, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for taking a look. I thought all that might be needed was PATT for the talk page comments, but wasn't sure. I did mention that in the post I left on that editor's user talk, but didn't think of {{tq}} or {{talk quote block}} at the time. Even so, I do think that simply copying an pasting even with proper attribution in the edit summary probably isn't a good idea without some clear way to let those reading the discussion understand that the comments they are actually reading were made on another page.

I never thought about the thesis link possibly being a COPYLINK problem; if that's the case then I believe relevant policy covers linking to any Wikipedia page, not just articles but it certainly means it cannot be used as a citation. One possibility would be to cite the thesis along the lines of WP:SAYWHERE I guess if it's consider a reliable source per RS and RSCONTEXT. That's what's currently being discussed at RSN, which is where the comments that were copied and pasted originally were made. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:32, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Just going to add that links to this thesis from the same website have also be added as citations/external links/"See also" entries to Kubuna and Vunivalu of Bau, but there may also be more articles where it's being cited. There's also some questionable references cited in the "Vunivalu of Bau" where it looks like the editor in question is trying to cite or add images files uploaded to Commons as references, which are possibly scans photo copies from the thesis or other publications. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:52, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Here's how to find out: There's a thing called Special:Linksearch where you can find all links to a site. There's 18 links to justpacific.com — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:09, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi again Dianna. Would you mind trying to explain to Saqiwa why he should stop doing things that lead to this kind of edit. Copying content from other talk pages onto his talk page might be something he's doing for record keeping purposes, etc., but it's not necessary. Even though it might not be a "copyvio", it does seems to be starting to cause problems with other editors which is not a good thing at all and might eventually outweigh whatever positive contributions he may be making to Wikipedia. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:44, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

ASSIST (student exchange organization) - copypastes from official website

Hello Diannaa, could you revdel the recent additions in this article please if you got a bit of time? Repeated copyright violations (and promotional COI editing) from the organization's own website at [1] and [2]. I left the user a brief message on the user's talkpage, but copypasted content got re-inserted. Thank you for your help. GermanJoe (talk) 08:45, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Copyvio edit

I was unable to put the URL in the edit summary or the copyvio-revdel template because the URL is blacklisted but this edit comes from https://www.censusindia.co.**/towns/kapadvanj-population-kheda-gujarat-802571 if you remove the ** and add "in". Dharmalion76 (talk) 17:07, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Done. Also, warned the user. Fun fact: dropping the https: prefix also works for these blacklisted urls. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:07, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

I didn't even think of that so now I feel pretty dense. Thank you again. Dharmalion76 (talk) 20:52, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• Following a discussion, a new criterion for speedy category renaming was added: C2F: One eponymous article, which applies if the category contains only an eponymous article or media file, provided that the category has not otherwise been emptied shortly before the nomination. The default outcome is an upmerge to the parent categories.

Technical news

• As previously noted, tighter password requirements for Administrators were put in place last year. Wikipedia should now alert you if your password is less than 10 characters long and thus too short.

Arbitration

• The 2019 CheckUser and Oversight appointment process has begun. The community consultation period will take place October 4th to 10th.
• The arbitration case regarding Fram was closed. While there will be a local RfC focus[ing] on how harassment and private complaints should be handled in the future, there is currently a global community consultation on partial and temporary office actions in response to the incident. It will be open until October 30th.

Miscellaneous

• The Community Tech team has been working on a system for temporarily watching pages, and welcomes feedback.

Copyvio at Ghrelin

Hello Diannaa: could you please do a copyvio review of recent edits at Ghrelin? New editor User talk:Suzanne Dickson is an accomplished scientist and publisher on this topic, but appears to be copying directly from her own publications, and inserting content and using her own sources for the article. I will be taking this up on the Ghrelin talk page. Fyi, her publications list on PubMed. Following your talk page here. Many thanks. --Zefr (talk) 14:30, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa - I assume you are referring to the photograph I added of Billy Drummond. I bought that picture for Billy Drummond's free use from the photographer Roberto Cifarelli but I'm not sure how to go about proving that. The same picture is his home page. We have no idea who took the current picture that is being used or where whoever created the page got it from. I am pretty sure it was taken at a rehearsal in Japan and was used for a temporary website we made around about the same time. Can you use home page pictures freely? It all seems very random. Tessa Souter (talk) 19:13, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

My message was regarding prose, not a photograph; there was some content that was the same as that at https://www.billydrummonddrums.com/discography-2, which is not released under a compatible license. I don't know which photo you mean, as the one currently in the article (File:Billy_Drummond_20080719.jpg) has been present at the Commons since 2008. Why are you describing yourself as "we"? Who are you working with? — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:36, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

I appreciate the thank you that you sent. I don't use Wikipedia often but I do try my hardest to edit pages that are incomplete. My proudest edits are to the King Company page (added that paradise Bay game would be discontinued) and to the Everwing Page (Facebook Game). The Everwing page was out of date since the game had changed so much. MK8 Master (talk) 01:59, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks!

I just started a draft of a wikipedia page yesterday, and overwhelmed by what I should and shouldn't do, decided to give it a start without having read all the rules in detail. I paraphrased most in my own words but had two sections where I lazily copied and pasted for paraphrasing later. I appreciate your prompt reply and edits, and succinct summary as to why you removed certain lines. I find that people like you help make the experience much easier for newcomers, and encourage more to contribute. I hope you keep doing what you're doing, contributing to a wonderful realization of truly free and open information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrmlhermitte (talk • contribs) 16:11, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Pictures fair use query

I'm currently editing List of most expensive books and manuscripts and there are a couple of 20th century documents that I was wondering if including a low res (75px) picture of the documents would count as fair use. The documents are

• Einstein's "God letter"
• Letter from Einstein to FD Roosevelt
• Letter from Francis Crick to his son
• A Notebook of Alan Turing's

Lisa Taddeo

Hi there. I apologize for any issues on Lisa Taddeo's page. I am unable to see the revisions but from what I remember the only things removed that I took from the nyt article are:

“

• who grew up in New Jersey and attended medical school in Bologna, Italy, where he met her mother,

• In Italy, her mother gave birth to her older brother, and the family moved back to New Jersey, where her father opened a family medical practice.

• two-bedroom farmhouse

”

These are fairly generic statements to constitute a copyright violation, but I suppose I agree I could have changed a few words around. That was my thinking at the time. Thanks for letting me know to change even general biographical quotes. Sorry for any inconvenience. Also, happy 10-year Wikipedia birthday Diannaa! I grieve in stereo (talk) 19:20, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi I grieve in stereo . Your addition was flagged by a bot as a potential copyright issue and was assessed by myself. Here is a link to the bot report. Click on the iThenticate link to view the overlap. There's no reason why this content could not be re-written in your own words, or omitted altogether, as it's not even about her - it's about other members of her family. "Quotes" have quotation marks, and should be used sparingly, per our non-free content rules. Thanks for the wiki-birthday greetings. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:30, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Copyright on handwritten documents

Sorry, just to clarify, what is the copyright status of handwritten letters and autograph manuscripts of books. As these works were never published, intended to be published, or publishable do they have the same copyright status as a normal book. Thank you. Hochithecreator (talk) 20:42, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Hochithecreator, (Speaking about US standards) Handwritten vs. typed vs. painted vs ... doesn't matter, as long as the work was "fixed in any tangible medium of expression". Writing it down certainly meets that requirement. Unpublished works generally have similar protections under copyright law as published works. In the US, unpublished works where the death date of the author is known are protected for 70 years from that date. If the death date or author is not known, or it's a corporate work, the work is protected for 120 years from creation. For more information, see c:COM:Publication. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 22:11, 8 October 2019 (UTC) (talk page watcher)

A case could be made that there's no way to get a free image of this object. On the other hand, the image doesn't tell us anything that couldn't be described in words alone, and everybody knows what a missile looks like. So: fails NFCC #1 and #8. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:32, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Fausto J Pinto

Dear @Diannaa: This article is on my watchlist. This morning I noticed the sole editor has been copying raw content from Fausto J Pinto's own page again and the earwig reported it about 93% copyvio. I made an attempt to do clean it and copyedit, remove the copyvio, fix the references and link it, but the editor has reverted it. I think they want the content from Pinto's page. Can you please add it to your many entries in your todo list. Thanks. scope_creep^Talk 11:36, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Anthony Kennedy and Deutsche Bank

I am the sole author of the prose that was copied. Also, the prose had been deleted from Anthony Kennedy's article and was more appropriate for another article.

The material on the Anthony Kennedy page had been deleted because the passage was more to do with relationship among persons at Deutsche Bank (Justin Kennedy, who is Anthony Kennedy's son, and others) and Deutsche Bank's unusual relationships with Donald Trump. I had written the passage, but it had been removed from Anthony Kennedy's page by SunCrow because "remove ridiculous footnote that has to do with Donald Trump and has nothing to do with Anthony Kennedy". I could not deny what SunCrow stated. The passage was more appropriate somewhere else.

You are very correct for this user to state that the passage had come from a previous article. However, the passage had been deleted from the article.

I'll state a more appropriate remark in future edits so that the location of the original passage will be included, even if the passage has been deleted.

Thank you for correcting me. 67.53.214.86 (talk) 22:09, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Copy-vios

Hello, you may not remember but a few months ago I asked for help with copy-vios at 2 or 3 articles about parks in Croydon, UK and subsequently, following your advice, dealt with others myself. What I have discovered is that several articles were started up to ten (possibly more) years ago by the same editor. I have a suspicion that they may have also edited from one (possibly two) other accounts but don't seem to have edited for 18 months or so. Is there anything we should do at this late stage such as WP:CCI? I cannot see any warnings for content CV at their TP... some in relation to images though. THanks. Eagleash (talk) 20:45, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello again Eagleash. If there's multiple (at least five) articles with unresolved copyright issues, a case can be opened at WP:CCI. However keep in mind that 10-year-old edits become very difficult to assess because of the proliferation of Wikipedia mirrors. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:03, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

OK thanks: At least 11 articles have already been dealt with; I don't like to think about how many others there may be! I think all the ones so far have been a direct lift from the Croydon Council website and / or the parks book (pub. 1988) as described in an earlier thread. Doesn't seem anything needs doing right now? I will continue to check other similar pages and clean up as necessary. Cheers. Eagleash (talk) 21:33, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Suspected copyvio

Appears that in Draft:White House Conference on Food, Nutrition, and Health the editors have copied content (the conference program) verbatim from the 1969 article in Nutrition Today: https://journals.lww.com/nutritiontodayonline/Citation/1969/00430/The_White_House_Conference_On_Food,_Nutrition_And.9.aspx. David notMD (talk) 22:29, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi David notMD. How did you determine this? The content is behind a paywall, and Earwig's tool shows little overlap. Can you remove the copyright content? — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:45, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

What is copied is from the first page of the article, which is shown at that URL. It consists of the titles of the sessions and the speakers and their university affiliations. Basically, a list, published in a journal. The editor takes a position that the conference was a federally funded event, and thus in public domain. David notMD (talk) 01:06, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

A chronological list is not copyrightable. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 04:59, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Continuing copyvios

Hi Diannaa, hope all is well. It looks like Syntellectus has continued adding copyrighted material to Gaia hypothesis, even after your warning. -- LuK3 (Talk) 01:29, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi, guys, this is [[user: Syntellectus] but is it really a copyright violation if the creator of this content on another website is myself? Besides, I've made citations of that article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Syntellectus (talk • contribs) 02:36, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Hi Syntellectus. There are three problems with what your trying to do.

1. Wikipedia cannot really use content verbatim from other websites unless the content has been released under a free license that Wikipedia accepts. So, even if you create content and add it someone else's website or even your own website, copying-and-pasting it word for word or even very closely is going to most likely be seen as a copyright violation. If you change the licensing of the source website, then perhaps it can be used on Wikipedia.
2. Most content you find on third-party websites is written in a manner or tone which might be fine for that particular website, but which is almost always not acceptable per Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. When you add content to Wikipedia, you're basically writing in Wikipedia's voice which means most people reading the content are going to assume it's being written by Wikipedia unless it's properly attribute to a particular source. So, when you use pronouns like "we" or say things like "it's believed" or any other words or expressions to watch, you might know who "we" refers to but the reader will not. So, just because you find something on a website that is licensed in a way that it can be used on Wikipedia, doesn't it mean you should use it word for word on Wikipedia.
3. The last problem has to do with Wikipedia:No original research and trying to cite your own work as a source. Wikipedia is really only interested in what secondary and independent reliable sources have to say about something; it's not interested in an individuals own research or theories unless they are things which have been discussed in secondary and independent reliable sources. Trying to cite your own work may also be seen as a conflict of interest; so, it's best to discuss your reasons why on the article's talk page first.

It seems like you're trying to make a major revision to the article Gaia hypothesis; so it might be better to be WP:CAUTIOUS and talk it through on the article's talk page to get feedback from others. It's OK to be WP:BOLD, but when you're WP:REVERTed, you're going to be expected to follow Wikipedia:Dispute resolution and Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle to try and establish a consensus in favor of the change you want to make. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:20, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Extended content

Not here to build an encyclopedia. Edits consist of wide range unwanted changes, from minor hoaxes to serious vandalism. For example: [3] DVD Player (Windows): Content randomly copied from elsewhere (table of releases from the Windows Media Player article [4] WebOS: Bombardment of irrelevant navboxes [5] DreamWorks: Major hoax, might have assumed good faith if it was the only instance [6] Production company: Content copied from elsewhere [7] List of United States over-the-air television networks: Childish content faking, reverted by User:Mrschimpf [8] International BBC television channels: Childish content faking [9] 2 Entertain: Fake contents [10] Lists of corporate assets: Childish addition of misleading phrases, reverted by User:Mrschimpf [11] List of Pixar films: Adding a fake name, reverted by unregistered editor [12] Film: Link hoax [13] Arms of Canada: Link hoax [14] Helmet (heraldry): Minor hoax [15] BlueStacks: Minor bad edit, nothing serious [16] 3 (disambiguation): Minor link hoax, reverted by User:Bkonrad [17] History of the flags of the United States: Minor mischief (removal of a link) [18] Monarchy of Canada: Harmless bad edit, reverted by User:GoodDay flowing dreams (talk page) 08:26, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Since you are still an uninvolved admin, I thought I'd better let you know before going to my next option, ANI. flowing dreams (talk page) 05:24, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Will Arnett was in Ratatouille. How is that a fake name? Some of your other diffs are similarly cryptic. Regardless, another admin has blocked 31 hr. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:01, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, but as the voice of Karl Horst not as a screenwriter. I thought since you've been an admin for 9 years now, you're experienced in these matters and a feeble attempt in WP:SNEAKY wouldn't fool you. Sorry if I was wrong. Also, the #1 item on my list is blatant vandalism. But the good thing is, this was the last time I would bother you. Have a nice day. 😊 flowing dreams (talk page) 06:22, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

I didn't notice that. Sorry for the mistake. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:21, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

flowing dreams: There was really no need to announce at ANI that I made a mistake. That's kinda mean and unnecessary. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:59, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Oh! I ... hurt your feelings? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. How careless of me. I'm a little surprised as to how you know about ANI. So, what do you think I must do to remedy that? Struck your name from the table? flowing dreams (talk page) 14:04, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Removed. flowing dreams (talk page) 14:11, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

I was notified via the notification system that you had wikilinked my name in the report you filed. Surely you must know how notifications work? since you used a noping template in this very thread. Thank you for removing me from your report. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:32, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Requesting friendly mopping service

Diannaa dresses up to mop up

Hi Di! So... Ekenney.21 has posted the entire script to Bee Movie on their userpage (compare with [19]). I'm concerned that the usual revert+CV template is maybe too BITEy to put on a new editor's userpage. So I'm going to post a message on their talk page about it, and I was wondering if you could do the admin-y parts? (Not sure if deletion or revdel is the right way to go here.) Or, if you think I should handle it the usual way (revert and CV template), let me know and I'll do that. Thanks either way! – Levivich 20:27, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

We also get the Shrek script, the Hamilton script, etc. Some of this is caught by edit filters. It's usually vandalism (as well as copyvio). Rev-del is done. Thanks for the report. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:44, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

LOL - thanks! – Levivich 22:01, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Clergy (film)

Hi, Diannaa. An IP edited the plot section on the article Clergy (film). As you can see here: [20] It's a COPYVIO. I reverted the edition, but someone needs to "fix" the article history. Regards.--SirEdimon (talk) 21:25, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Rev-del done. Thanks for reporting. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:47, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. You're great.--SirEdimon (talk) 22:04, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your message

I added the proper attribution to the pages I edited that should have it. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention! I wasn't sure about its placement though. I just put it at the end of the articles. I hope that was OK. When you have a moment, can you double check me? No rush, of course. I know you guys are swamped.

Sincerely, Dastultz (talk) 12:17, 16 October 2019 (UTC)Debbie

Hi Dastultz. Thanks for doing that. It's better to put it in the references section though, or you can include a template {{PD-notice}} as part of your citation like I did here. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:43, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Akane Yamaguchi

Hello. This article is too long, need to omit some unnecessary paragraphs, help summarize this article (and copy edit). Thanks you. Olascf (talk) 13:24, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Sorry I don't have time to help with this project. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:25, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Reverting the deletion of page

Hi, I read your reply on my page. So, can you revert the deletion of the page Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal? I will delete/replace the words which are similar to the words on the page Lalbaugcha Raja with my own words. It was only the History section of the page Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal which was kind of similar to the history section of the page Lalbaugcha Raja, though I did form different sentences than the one on the latter's Wikipedia page. Can you revert the deletion of Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal page? Prat1212 (talk) 20:25, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

I am not actually the person who did that. Someone else did, with this edit, saying that the temple is not notable enough for a standalone article. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:15, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Censorship of Pete Buttigieg article

Why go out like that? All claims were well sourced 172.58.230.201 (talk) 22:58, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

I have never edited that article and have never heard of the guy, so I don't have an opinion — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:04, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
