Good evening,

I have reverted some of the deletion you did about my changes and changed it somewhat so it is more in line about what you asked. The adress however i kept in it since business adresses are not protected.

You can check and see if it is acceptable for you in its current state

Thank you Ubdead575 (talk) 16:10, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

@Ubdead575: I removed your edit as Gamerant not a reliable source. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 368. Please find a more acceptable source. Business address irrelevant and unsourced. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 19:06, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for the check over.
I have deleted the career section as well since it was unsourced and deleted the bushfire relief charity section since that one was also only backed up by ign and dotesports, wich are both seen as the same reliability as gamerant according to the noticeboard.
May i ask however if the gamerant article along with the tweet, where the person who the page is about personally adressed the issue is considered reliable enough? Cause according to wikipedia the person acknowledging it is the strongest source you can have. Will add the tweet as seperate source otherwise.
Although tweets arent generally reliable sources it depends who does them and in what context. A news article tweeting is considerent reliable while the person who the wikipedia is about confirming the thing added is also rreliable Ubdead575 (talk) 20:17, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
@Ubdead575: I got a "no text channels" error when accessing https://discord.com/channels/114374562279456769/417122800835362820 This is getting out of my expertise. Please ask at the wp:Teahouse on this. You should add wp:DIFFs so that readers can find what you are referring to such as this diff.
Please check your spelling and caps. "bussiness" and "austrailian", for instance. wp:LINK to pertenent articles such as queerbaiting. You can (and should!) use wp:Show preview button to check your edits: links, formatting, spelling and grammar.
If you get a go-ahead from the Teahouse, I recommend adding a diff-url to your edit summary. Such as "See https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAdakiko&diff=1168601302&oldid=1168591907". Teahouse talk is often archived and will be removed.

Problem with Amhara genocide article.

I apologize for the content removal. Moreover, the Amhara genocide article has various problems in the article that need to be fixed (which include typos, grammatical errors and incorrect names for political parties, locations and militant groups). I initially fixed the page, however, a user by the name of Petra0922 consistently reverts my edits even when I highlighted and fixed the problems in the page. I have no intention in perpetuating an edit war on the Wikipedia page, but rather trying to fix and organize it.Agamino911 (talk) 11:48, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Brainlessly reverting my edits?

The simple matter is there is no clear evidence that Mehmed was Serb. You cannot spread false info, if you want to be objective than at least mention the Bosniak theory, he was not a Serb. Untiluntilu (talk) 12:21, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

@Untiluntilu: You removed sources which appear to support that fact and replaced it with unsourced content. Wikipedia goes by what wp:reliable sources state. Adakiko (talk) 12:23, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Unreasonable reversion of an edit

I just made a tiny correction to Lightning Strike, which had its "Strikes" and "Injuries" sections flipped around, and I made sure to explain it albeit half-hearted before publishing. And it didn't take 3 seconds before you took it down… You could've paid a little more attention to the change rather than the explanation and you would've noticed the mistake yourself. 2A0D:6FC7:509:BE60:178:5634:1232:5476 (talk) 09:59, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

I see you were attempting to move content. Please state so in your edit summary that you are in the process of moving content. It looked to me as though you just deleted 2k of text and sources w/o any indication of replacing it. I undid your last edit as it duplicated content. Please redo your edit with a more descriptive edit summary. Thank you Adakiko (talk) 10:05, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Request for protection template deletion

Hi. Do U have time to remove the {{pp-pc1}} tags from pages listed in the below website? As can 🅱️ noticed, there ®️ 20-something pages which had pending changes reset but the pending protection template remained. Please delete those tags, if U don't mind.196.177.140.119 (talk) 19:32, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Those pages are all wp:semi-protected from editing. One needs to be an wp:autoconfirmed user to edit it. You can request deprotection at wp:requests for page protection. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 00:50, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
Absolutely. Nevertheless, if U check those pages' history, U will realize that another user reset pending changes, but without removing the Pending Protection tag. This is Y they ® still being displayed on that website. Since I am an IP user, I am attempting to ask an wp:autoconfirmed user, like U, to remove those PC tags. Once U delete them, they will be vanished from the above website. Thanks.102.159.145.219 (talk) 01:00, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
One needs to be an wp:administrator to remove the protection. I am not one. I could remove the tag, but that wouldn't allow you to edit it. If I did remove the tag, a bot would replace it. Adakiko (talk) 01:02, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
I am not asking U to remove the protection. Instead, I came here to ask U to remove the tags. That's all.102.159.145.219 (talk) 01:17, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

@Diepanzerwaffles: I did not undo your edit. I undid the IP's edit for no explanation. The anon redid the content removal. You apparently duplicated content. See this edit summary Next time, please mention the article that you are referring to. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 18:44, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Lackthereof page edits were legit

I’m new to Wikipedia so I’m sorry for not including info re: exactly what I changed, but you’ve just undone all my work without a reason. I work with the person this page is about, and I’ve been fixing inaccuracies. I moved some names to the past band members section because none of them are active members apart from Danny Seim, I added Steve Taylor in the collaborations as that’s more accurate than Blue Like Jazz, and I fixed a link that had disappeared. All of my changes should have stayed so please revert to the version of the page as it was a few hours ago before you undid all my changes, thanks! 79.50.205.225 (talk) 14:52, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Please use an wp:edit summary (ES). You removed the Blue Like Jazz (film) link and citation without an explanation. Please cite a wp:reliable source to support your edits. See wp:citing sources. Also, since you apparently have a relationship with Seim, please read wp:conflict of interest. You can use the wp:undo function to restore your edits, but they will likely be undone again if you do not cite sources or leave and ES. If you have questions, the best, fastest way is to ask at the wp:Teahouse. Thank you Adakiko (talk) 21:34, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

You might want to visit my Thank Log. I do wp:recent changes patrol (e.g. vandalism patrol) and undo bad edits, unsourced edits, unexplained content removal, and often, vandalism. Wikipedia has wp:policy regarding wp:verifiability (e.g. citing sources), wp:content removal (note "unexplained content removal"), wp:conflict of interest, and a lot more. I get a lot of flack from them. May I suggest browsing my edit history? Take a look at these editors: Special:Contributions/50.26.186.175, Special:Contributions/72.135.248.71 edit history. Most of my 70,000 edits are RCP. Do you think my previous reply was WP:BITE? May I suggest reading WP:BITECLUB and / or asking at the wp:Teahouse about my "behavior"?

Speedy deletion

Hello, you marked Draft:Gift N Treat as needing to be speedy deleted as "patent nonsense"; was this an error? Patent nonsense usually means pages/articles that are written in gibberish(such as "ajfiihasiooiaghe", randomly hitting keys on the keyboard). 331dot (talk) 09:32, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

I have fixed several Self-closed tags, specifically <p />, introduced by you in User talk:LauraHammer, User talk:Ginigee, and User talk:81.103.188.4. A self-closed tag is a tag that opens and closes all at once. A few tags are permitted as self-closed, such as <ref name="blah" /> or <nowiki />. The <p> tag is not permitted to be self-closed. Instead, use <p> and close it with </p> at the end of the paragraph, or just before the next <p> tag. Cheers! —Anomalocaris (talk) 21:06, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Kurochka Ryaba

Hello. My Kurochka Ryaba edit was caused by the fact that this fairy tale is Belarusian in the degree no less than it is Russian or Ukrainian. If one adds Belarus to the list of Russia and Ukraine, one gets the full list of Eastern Slavic nations, hence creating redundancy. This was reflected in the edit summary. I also deleted the link to the BBC article which mentions the Kurochka Ryaba fairy tale only tangentially and doesn't mention Belarus at all, so it's probably should not be considered а suitable source. So the edit was warranted. 188.64.206.210 (talk) 02:12, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

I didn't understand your edit summary. Please try to be clearer especially when removing citations. Adakiko (talk) 02:32, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
Cpt. Runglish to the rescue! :)
  • What happened: Apparently, the 188.64.206.210 poster wanted to add Belarus to the list of East Slavic countries accustomed to the tale. And the BBC reference smells of WP:NEWS; one should cite whole books or look up related cultural claims.
  • How I circumvented the issue: I added Belarus as an additional country under a "citation needed" notion implying there is a good reference somewhere to be looked up. 81.89.66.133 (talk) 18:22, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi there! you said that for my edits i "didn't support my changes with a citation to a reliable source". That's false, I did. It would be kind of you to check it and fix the reverting by yourself. Have a nice day Lean Harvey Oswald (talk) 08:31, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

@Lean Harvey Oswald: Where is regarded as one of the most successful female rappers of all time supported? Adakiko (talk) 08:34, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
The whole "impact" section is essentially about that. Additionally, later on the lead section itself, there is the statement "Recognized by Forbes as one of the most influential female rappers of all time". Lean Harvey Oswald (talk) 08:40, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
You wrongfully reverted me again, while also not answering to my last message that I left here before your new revert. It is sourced in the Impact section, if the issue is that you want me to put the sources up in the lead I'll do that Lean Harvey Oswald (talk) 08:59, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
@Lean Harvey Oswald: My apology, this didn't get saved; probably mis-clicked then changes pages before verifying it saved.
That is a statement by one magazine. Your statement would suggest many regard her as such. The Impact section does not have any mention of "most successful". wp:SYNTHESIS. Adakiko (talk) 09:04, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
I would invite you to check the "impact" section a little more closely, because, what Billboard, The Hollywood Reporter, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek, The A.V. Club, NME, Essence, The Jakarta Post, Uproxx, iHeartRadio, Vanity Fair, The Guardian, BBC News, and Daily Trust defined her as a dominating commercial force in the female hip hop world. I would say that's pretty enough to support the statement that "some media outlets define her as one of the most commercially successful female rappers of her generation", I think this wording is neutral enough for the statement, what do you think? :) Lean Harvey Oswald (talk) 09:25, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Not sure if I agree with that, but I won't revert you again. See if anyone else does. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 09:31, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Assyrian people

Hello, I appreciate your attention to detail. I want to clarify that the edits made were not about removing content but about augmenting the existing information with more specific and relevant details. The symbols that appeared truncated were citations, which were appropriately referenced from general information pages such as "Assyrians in Turkey" and the "Middle Assyrian period."

It's important to note that Wikipedia encourages collaborative editing and a discussion-based approach, especially when considering substantial changes. In this case, the intention was to enhance the article by providing additional precise information, supporting the broader context of Assyrian history.

If you have concerns or queries, I'm more than willing to engage in a discussion and address any questions you may have regarding the edits. A collaborative effort can lead to a more comprehensive and accurate representation of the topic at hand. Thank you. Diklath (talk) 11:33, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi! Just adding a note re: my edit to the Louise distras page. The citation about her recent activism was from the daily mail but it’s directly referring to an interview she did with the daily mail, and as far as I’m aware she’s never discussed her activism anywhere else other than the daily mail and her own twitter page - so the daily mail is the most accurate citation.

Jungian archetypes

Hello Adakiko. This isn't a criticism, so please don't take it that way ~ i simply wanted to point out that when you reverted an IP here then put a message on their talk page here you actually ignored their concern and left the article with a non-existent word (the word you suggested they look up in a dictionary was not the word they were questioning, nor would it have made sense in the context). It took me a few minutes, but i did find the source of the error and corrected it. As i say, i'm not criticising, just pointing out that sometimes before reverting it is worth while taking an extra second or two and checking what has been added or questioned. Happy days, ~ LindsayHello 17:16, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

@LindsayH: Thank you for doing that research! No offense taken; please feel free to criticize! As a member of the wp:RCP, it would take a lot.

No grounds for the extraction. Realy ?

Hi,

You reverted the changes made by me and Fgnievinski, saying there is no grounds for the extraction. Did you follow the link given? At the time of your revert, the new article Tailings dam failure was created and two more people had already worked on the new article. I've also been given thanks for the extraction.

This Tailings dam failure article has also a category, a Wikidata item, a Commons category.

I have seen no explanation on the talk page. Maybe I missed something... If not, maybe you can revert your revert... Thanks. FrViPofm (talk) 10:48, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

@FrViPofm: I didn't revert you. Though, I agree with Kochas (talk · contribs) assessment and restoring your deleted content. Take it to the talk page and get wp:consensus. Adakiko (talk) 10:53, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
@FrViPofm Hi there. Anytime you just put the word "extraction" in the edit comment, and nothing else, kindly please expect speedy reverts. ;-) However, it's a different thing when you actually work on a split article based on extracted parts, epecially those moved in full. In this case, a link in the edit comment could be sufficient in the first place -- but now I think a basic explanation in the original article's talk page would fit. If no one has a better idea. — Kochas 13:53, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
@Adakiko: Sorry for the mistake.
@Kochas: Sorry. I'm not very skillful with the (maybe: raw) practices of the English wikipedia. I didn't know that

extraction could imply revert. I thought the inserted link would have talk by itself, rather then an explanation in the talk page.

Now that all is ok, who wold do the revert of the revert ? FrViPofm (talk) 14:07, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
Kindly move this whole discussion into Talk:Tailings dam. Then I can restore de split ("extraction"). fgnievinski (talk) 17:23, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

RDX movie collection

Well the edit was for factual correction and not by mistake. I understand you mentioned about the citation deletion which I did as the citation did not support your claim of Rs. 100 crore collection whatsoever. I had put a note about the same on the edit summary. We are unable to understand your magical figure of Rs. 100 crore collection and what facts you would furnish for the same. When it comes to the list of malayalam movies with highest box office collection, the figure for RDX is 84 crore rupees. Therefore, I would appreciate if you could give me any reason to believe your information and i would wait for you reply. Thanks Melwynsebastian (talk) 19:30, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

@Melwynsebastian: If you comment on something, please provide a link to it? I presume you meant RDX: Robert Dony Xavier?

ENDF history section

Why did you revert my edit on the ENDF history section? Previously someone said that my removal was unexplained so I explained it. Thank you. ሰይፍ (talk) 07:42, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

@ሰይፍ: The article states the ENDF was founded in 1907. A bit inconsistent with your edit summary. Adakiko (talk) 07:44, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
Even then, that should exclude conflicts such as the Ethiopian-Adal war that date to the 16th century ሰይፍ (talk) 07:48, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
@ሰይፍ: I would agree. There does not seem to be a citation for the founding of the ENDF. Perhaps the first thing to do is to establish that with a few wp:reliable sources. See wp:citing sources. Then fix things from there? Cheers Adakiko (talk) 07:54, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
Yes. AFAIK the ENDF was also only founded during the time of the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front after the end of the Ethiopian civil war. 1907 was the time of the Ethiopian Imperial army ሰይፍ (talk) 07:56, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
@ሰይፍ: Someone conflating the different Ethiopian forces? Might take a look at the ENDF's wp:page history. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 07:58, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Yuruaní-tepui

For the article Yuruaní-tepui I only changed one sentence of text for the first edit. I'm not sure if there was a glitch with Wikipedia but I never made all of those changes, I promise. Thank you for pointing this out. It is very strange as I was shocked to learn of this. Either I accidentally edited an old version or there was a glitch. All is fixed now.

2020 Russian constitutional plebiscite and the necessity thereof

Re: my edit, I understand an unsourced version is not ideal. That it is not nonsense (thus probably didn’t deserve a revert) can be seen by examining the Constitution itself, which provides for modification (except for the fundamentals outlined in Article 135) by qualified majorities of both houses of the Federal Assembly (the parliament), confirmed by the signature of the president and votes in parliaments of the subjects, in Articles 108 and 136; nowhere is a general vote by the citizenry mentioned. (In case more fundamental modifications are required, the state will essentially need to be reestablished, with a constitutional assembly and–indeed–a plebiscite similar to what happened in 1993, but no such assembly took place in 2020.) The parliament held a final vote on the amendments on 14 March 2020, the president signed them on 3 July, while the plebiscite on 25 June–1 July was just... there?

I could just quote Art. 108 itself (as the document is supposedly an authoritative source on what it itself declares to be the proper procedure), but when the claim is more about what it does not say than about what it does, this seems nonideal. As for other sources that mention the weirdness explicitly... perhaps Meduza (https://meduza.io/feature/2020/03/11/popravki-v-konstitutsiyu-prinimayut-po-ochen-protsedure-kotoraya-ranshe-nigde-i-nikogda-ne-ispolzovalas-ona-voobsche-zakonna)?

Please put new talk sections at the bottom. See help:talk pages. Thank you.
People sometimes like to verify content is valid and want to check its source. Also, they may want to find more information on the topic. For them, a citation is desirable.
Per Wikipedia's policy of wp:verifiability (specifically WP:BURDEN), significant content needs to cite a wp:reliable source. See wp:citing sources. Perhaps wp:SKYISBLUE applies...
The content before your here is also unsourced. Perhaps you could add a citation to that as well? Thank you Adakiko (talk) 01:40, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Adding picture

I have many photos belong to Zabihullah how can I add them. He can personally share with you too for DP for wiki Haqq Ashrafi (talk) 10:34, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

@Haqq Ashrafi: If you own the copyright to the photos, just upload them to commons. If Zabihullah Karimullah or someone else owns the copyright, and you have permission to upload it, proof of permission needs to be sent to the Volunteer Response Team. See Commons:Volunteer Response Team#Licensing images: when do I contact VRT?. For general information on photos, see Help:Pictures. Hope this helps! This is about the extent of my knowledge. If you have further questions, you should ask at the wp:Teahouse. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 12:36, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Drop the Dead Donkey

I saw the SPA reverting spoilers at Drop the Dead Donkey, but after speaking with Paul August (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) about it, I'm not familiar enough with the topic at hand to make the qualitative judgment required to revert them again. I just wanted to point you that discussion since I dropped your name, and you might be more duly familiar to take further steps. Best wishes! — Fourthords | =Λ= | 20:48, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

@Fourthords: Thanks for looking into this. I am not familiar with Drop the Dead Donkey. Not sure it's wort the time to pursue. Is the SPA a sock by chance? No similar edits to Donkey. Maybe doing the same thing to other articles under different accounts? Not sure how to search for evidence. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 21:22, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Dog Days of Winter

For the issue of the inaccurate information, the drug addiction was added to reflect the mention of a bong and as for the final scene with the death threats, that was not sourced because I calculated that such a measure was unnecessary. 100.15.83.54 (talk) 09:46, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia Pages--Taylor Swift and Elizabeth Olsen

Hello, Adakiko! I had a question. Whenever I try to leave information on either of the pages Taylor Swift or Elizabeth Olsen, my edits are deleted. I tried to add photos and information to both pages, but they were swiftly deleted. Why is that, and how can I manage to make sure my edits stay on the page?

Thanks so much, CallieCrewmanAuthor CallieCrewmanAuthor (talk) 19:43, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

@CallieCrewmanAuthor: The best thing to do is to ask the person who undid your edits. Ask on their talk page. See help:talk pages and wp:talk page guidelines. The revert on Taylor Swift was explained on the edit summary. Too many pictures on a page can make it a problem for some with low bandwidth to load a page and it can clutter up the page. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 20:36, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
Hello! I'm not sure who undid the edits. The person who did it never left a note on my talk page. What should I do in this case?
Thank you for your help! CallieCrewmanAuthor (talk) 21:18, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
@CallieCrewmanAuthor: Click on the wp:page history tab: "View history" at the top of the page. It will show you a list of all edits ever made (some may be inaccessible). You can undo another's edit(s), but don't wp:edit war. Best to ask what's going on, especially if done by an experienced editor. Good advice is given at wp:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle (BRD). Anyone can see an editor's contribution count (a crude measure of experience) by clicking on "User contributions" on the left column. The edit count is listed two lines under the title: "User contributions for ...". Yours has "A user with 97 edits. Account created on 30 September 2023", mine: "A user with 77,027 edits. Account created on 30 April 2020." I do wp:RCP, so my edit count is much higher than a "real editor" would have such as Rfl0216.
I undid your edit to Taylor Swift. Rfl0216 previously removed your edit, saying it belongs on the films page. Please discuss with Rfl0216 on talk:Taylor Swift. Use talk:Taylor Swift as it's about the content on that page and not about you or Rfl0216. Please don't edit war.
It would be better if you ask at the wp:Teahouse as you might get more pertinent answers from more experienced editors. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 01:51, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
All right. Thank you so much! CallieCrewmanAuthor (talk) 13:38, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Adakiko Please see explanation here [1] Mrdabalina (talk) 11:43, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

@Mrdabalina: May I suggest adding "See [[Talk:Child sexual abuse#Asia additions by sock Koreangauteng]]" which should compile to: See Talk:Child sexual abuse#Asia additions by sock Koreangauteng. It would save us both a lot of trouble. Thank you Adakiko (talk) 11:54, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
I apologize for the confusion these edits are quite old so they flew under the radar they have added quite a bit to this article so I removed only a small portion of it currently and added a talk page discussion to alert future contributors I am not sure if I should remove the whole lot but I started off with this reversal they have quite an interest in portraying Muslims/islam in a certain light and have added these same edits to various articles thought I am not sure if I want to wade into the other pages they have vandalized on. Thank you for responding. Mrdabalina (talk) 11:59, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
