I noticed you've been creating quite a few articles on Columbia College alumni in a short period of time. Is this part of a a school project or a GLAM partnership? Just curious. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 17:04, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @SpicyMilkBoy: No, it's not a school project or anything. I am just bored during quarantine and I was reading some of the old alumni magazines at home.

Hi, I'm wondering why you changed the category for the art historian and curator Karin Higa from Columbia University alum to Columbia College alum? The citations in the the article, and many other sources online state that her degree is from Columbia University. I wanted to reach out to you to ask about it before I revert. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of David J. Johns

[edit]

Hello CatchedY,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged David J. Johns for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

An article you recently created, Adam Cohen (government official), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hi there!

Full disclosure -- I'm Yana. I would really like to remove any reference to my birth date or the year I graduated Columbia from my wikipedia page. I am concerned about identity theft and industry ageism. Also, not for nothing, but my birth year is wrong. This article makes me older than I actually am, and that hurts my career. Would you be willing to help me remove those references? I would very much appreciate it as a fellow Columbia grad.

All my best,

Notice

The article Kenneth Handelman has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:GNG, and doesn't qualify for WP:NPOL.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Control copyright icon Hello CatchedY! Your additions to Thomas J. Christensen have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing.

[edit]

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Victoria de Grazia. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:26, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz, the page had been moved to draft 10 minutes after it was created without notifying the editor (and probably was just fine in mainspace). I thought we had gotten around the problem of immediately moving editors' work to draft. Anyway would you do a history merge from Draft:Victoria de Grazia, if needed, and delete the draft? Thanks.

Ways to improve Ivan Veit

[edit]

Hello, CatchedY,

Thank you for creating Ivan Veit.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Several references are primary or mentions. What is needed are references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS; that is your guide. You may also read WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources. A more comprehensive guide is WP:SOURCES ... Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion. Kindly do the needful. Thank you.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Whiteguru}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Hello CatchedY -- Thank you for contributing this article, the subject looks clearly notable under WP:PROF from their Google Scholar profile. However there's a problem with some copying from the sources ([1], [2]). Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously; even for basic material, you need to write in your own words, not cut and paste sentences and then edit a few words to make it different. Please completely rewrite the sentences that the copyvio tool is highlighting [3] as soon as possible, so that the article can be accepted.

Hello CatchedY -- Thanks for contributing this article. I believe the subject is likely to notable as an author under WP:AUTHOR and possibly also as an academic under WP:PROF. However the sources you have provided appear low quality, either associated with the subject or relatively trivial mentions in articles discussing another topic. What would be most useful is to list the major academic books written by the author (from the subject's university profile, CV/resume or WorldCat) and then find and add book reviews for them. Around four full reviews for at least two different books would be enough to demonstrate notability clearly. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 01:14, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrolled

[edit]

Hi CatchedY, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed' and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned prolific creators of articles where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! – Joe (talk) 15:50, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Joe! This has been a real honor for me. CatchedY (talk) 03:12, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please accept this olive branch and an apology


I did apologise formally at COIN but I would like apologise here too about my hastiness around some of your editing and questioning their notability. I have since understood more about the criteria for academic staff and see how it may have been hasty to call a lot of your articles online resumes/CVs. I do feel bad about how this may have made you feel about your hard work. I sampled a handful of articles you had written and saw ones like Adam Cohen which were clearly overly reliant on primary sources and assumed this applied across the field. I now that is not the case. Given your status as an ex-student of Columbia U, it was important to establish your relationship with the organisation. Even if you're not being paid or promoted to edit on their behalf, sometimes psychologically it can be difficult for one to be objective which is why we have the Conflict of Interest guidelines and ask people to declare. That said, I won't be mass nominating any of your articles etc. The purpose of the discussion was to find out if my assumption that many articles based on alumni sources for the alumni themselves would pass notability. I think if they're academic, then the answer is yes. If not then that's where there is legitimate space for discussion based on BLP or GNG guidelines. Once again I would like to apologise. >> Lil-unique1 (talk)00:55, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thank you for your message. I accept your apology and I will make sure to improve the quality of edits in the future. I also acknowledge that I've been creating a bit too many "stub"-level articles recently, which is why it has raised some eyebrows from experienced editors like you. I will take some time to refurbish and improve the quality of my contents of some of my older articles and make sure they pass notability guidelines. My other intention was to allow other more knowledgeable editors to fill in the blanks so that the articles' quality improve over time. For example, my article Sharon Block (government official) was created as a stub but is doubled in size and rated C-class.
The inclusion of the alumni sources, which I assume you were referring to the Columbia College Today magazine, is due to another unresolved conflict: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United States courts and judges#FJC information with an editor who has been reverting the Wikipedia categories from "Columbia College (New York) alumni" to "Columbia University alumni" based on a source whose usage has been contested (the former is a subcategory of the latter). The alumni magazine is only for clarifying and verifying that they attended the undergraduate liberal arts college at Columbia so I can categorize them into the right category and depopulate the Columbia University alumni category. CatchedY (talk) 01:25, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Vikram Gandhi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vikram Gandhi. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Infobox scientist?

[edit]

A few hours ago, you added an infobox to Susan C. Scrimshaw. The infobox included a residence parameter, which is no longer valid. (It was removed in Feb 2020.) No problem, it turns up in an error tracking category and so I fixed it. I have been fixing that infobox problem for some while, so there has to be some data or documentation somewhere that is still out of date. I have checked all of the "obvious" places, but still cannot find where. The question is then – when you added the infobox, what editor or template did you use that included the residence parameter? — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 07:23, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
