Brand post

[edit]

What does "brand post" mean? Geniac (talk) 22:40, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It means it’s sponsored PR article. No journalist involved its more like paid press release. Read the disclaimer in the article. Zuck28 (talk) 22:41, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you read the article properly it clearly states in the ending of it. “ Disclaimer: This is a company press release. No HT journalist was involved in the creation of this content.” Zuck28 (talk) 22:43, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I see that now. I had never heard of the term "brand post" before, and that term doesn't appear in the Verifiability policy page. Press releases are specified as an example of self-published sources, so I undid my edit. Geniac (talk) 04:04, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, and thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia! However, you should know that it is not a good idea to remove citations or information sourced through citations simply because a link to a source is not working, as you did to Gautam Rode. Dead links should not be deleted. Instead, please repair or replace the link, if possible, and ensure properly sourced information is retained. Often, a live substitute link can be found. Links not used as references, notes or citations are not as important, such as those listed in the "External links" or "Further reading" sections, but bad links in those sections should also be fixed if possible. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. DMacks (talk) 19:45, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for explaining this. I will keep this in mind. But I actually believe this information regarding his college name is unverifiable and incorrect. I know he never studied in this college that’s why I removed it. Zuck28 (talk) 12:40, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's definitely an important concern you have. I see User:Fylindfotberserk has replaced it with a different source that appears to support the information. This is not an topic with which I'm familiar. Do you have any reference for where else he studied instead? DMacks (talk) 17:25, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Finally it makes sense now. Someone updated it to “He was enrolled in Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, but took official sitting in Delhi College of Arts and Commerce” Zuck28 (talk) 10:44, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Definitely no objection to the general theme of NOSOCIAL. But in several cases, most noticeably [1], you also removed many or all of the category tags. Please check that one and any other pages where your reasonable changes to the 'external links' section might have had this mistake. DMacks (talk) 13:34, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for bringing this to my notice. The category tags were removed by mistake I apologise for this and will check my previous edits & keep this in mind in future.

There is another person called Lalnunmawia

[edit]

Lalnunmawia Chuaungo. I am too lazy to create the page but you can create the page. Lalnunmawia Chuaungo has documented some times by indian news. The editor that made your page a redistrict will change his mind because he required it to have more than one entry. and that person makes the page have more than one entry ThDON (talk) 20:52, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

You are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, then, if you wish to do so, respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Aaajit22700. Thank you. Belbury (talk) 15:35, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked as a sockpuppet

[edit]
Stop icon
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:Aaajit22700 per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Aaajit22700. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Izno (talk) 04:29, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting review of Block on My Account

[edit]
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Zuck28 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Request reason:

Dear Administrators,

I acknowledge the reasons for my block and understand the community's concerns regarding my image uploads. I recognize now that my actions, while well-intentioned, did not comply with Wikipedia's strict copyright policies. I regret any disruption my lack of understanding may have caused.

I have taken time to educate myself on Wikipedia's image use policies, copyright guidelines, and the importance of verifiable sourcing. I assure you that I fully grasp the reasons behind my block and am committed to adhering to Wikipedia's standards moving forward.

If unblocked, I promise to:

1. Only upload images that I have verified are properly licensed and within Wikimedia Commons guidelines. 2. Not engage in any form of copyright infringement or image misuse. 3. Seek guidance from more experienced editors when unsure about the appropriateness of content or edits.

Furthermore, I will adhere to the policies regarding notability, verifiability, neutrality, content and editing, and avoid behaviors that could lead to suspicions of COI editing, sockpuppetry, or abuse of multiple accounts.

I am eager to return to contributing value to Wikipedia and its sister projects constructively and responsibly. I appreciate the community's willingness to forgive past mistakes and offer a second chance to well-meaning contributors.

Thank you for considering my request for unblocking.

Sincerely,

Zuck28 (talk) 13:37, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This request was written by an AI(100% certain according to GPTzero). We don't consider AI written requests, because you are blocked, not an AI. We want to hear from you. 331dot (talk) 08:23, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@Izno: This has gone unactioned for a couple of weeks. OK to unblock?-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 01:01, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Deepfriedokra: I don't think either appeal meets the expectations for why the block was issued for this specific account. At least the back half of this specific appeal looks like ChatGPT to boot, and if I squint not very hard the first half does also. The first appeal looks like a plain denial of sockpuppetry which I think beggars belief, as I said at the SPI when I issued the block. Izno (talk) 01:22, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Deepfriedokra I appreciate your feedback on my appeal. I have reflected on my past actions and have dedicated my time to learn Wikipedia's rules and policies. I acknowledge my mistakes and assure you that I am committed to adhering to the guidelines moving forward. Despite being blocked from editing on English Wikipedia for some time now, I have continued to educate myself daily, particularly on topics such as image licensing and content.
I believe that I can contribute positively to the wp, and I assure you that I will not repeat the errors of the past. If you still feel that my previous actions warrant a continued block, I will respect your decision. However, I would be grateful if given the opportunity to contribute to Wikipedia once again.
Thank you.
Zuck28 (talk) 09:05, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why were you blocked? Jay 💬 06:19, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was blocked by @Izno because my behavior was seen as possibly using multiple accounts or having a conflict of interest, both of which are serious reasons for being blocked. Initially, I was thought to be a sockpuppet account, but I denied this and there was no confirmation from checkusers. Inzo blocked me because he believed I had committed an offense that warranted a block. I tried to explain everything in my replies, but unfortunately, it didn't seem to make a difference, so I eventually decided to stop trying.
Zuck28 (talk) 06:27, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Izno: By what you said at the SPI .. given the other interactions with the set of editors in this history as well as on Commons, which interactions are you referring to? I understand that you have suspicions, but do you have evidence of UPE/COI? And for which subject - Suresh Shyamlal Gupta? Jay 💬 12:06, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I used my vacation time to enhance existing Wikipedia articles, including one about Suresh Shyamlal Gupta. However, my edits were mistakenly identified as suspicious activities like sockpuppeting, multiple account abuse, undisclosed paid editing, and conflict of interest. I am confused about how to explain my situation and perspective.
Zuck28 (talk) 17:25, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jay, the timeline laid out at SPI was sufficiently convincing regarding the topic of Suresh Shyamlal Gupta, particularly the within-minutes reaction to nomination for deletion of files at Commons by uploading new files with license washing. There wasn't particularly strong evidence elsewhere, besides contributions at Draft:Gaby Guha, that indicated UPE/COI. Izno (talk) 22:19, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @Izno , @Jay
I was working on that particular article for more than 2 or 3 days in an effort to improve it, so that single edit was not a response to a deletion nomination, but a continuous effort on my part to enhance the article. I was unaware of the deletion nomination until someone informed me on my talk page. Initially, I had very little understanding of Wikimedia licensing and copyright, but now I can assure you that I have learned a great deal about image licensing and have successfully uploaded more than 50 pictures on Commons.
Regarding the Gaby Guha article, I acknowledge that it was during my starting phase when I had limited knowledge and made several mistakes. However, over time, I have learned a lot and improved my understanding of editing Wikipedia. As far as I know, the Gaby Guha article was not published. Recently, I created a new page for Baryl Vanneihsangi, where you can see my improved understanding and efforts to enhance Wikipedia. Zuck28 (talk) 22:29, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Izno: As the block reason is socking, and not UPE/COI, I'll keep Draft:Gaby Guha out of this discussion for now, though I did not get how that draft indicated UPE/COI. Going back to .. given the other interactions with the set of editors in this history as well as on Commons that you stated at the SPI, by interactions I assumed you are talking of Zuck28's interactions with other editors. Which interactions are those?
Regarding Belbury's comment below regarding evidence, it is not clear how many uploads there were, or was there only one. I see that Zuck28 has been updating Suresh Shyamlal Gupta from 10 February, and adding images to it, well before the 13 Feb incident. Jay 💬 10:45, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like my account was wrongfully blocked due to some misunderstandings and suspicions, but now this is clear that there’s no evidence about it, I believe my account should be unblocked and I request again to reconsider the decision.
There is no Socking, No COI/UPE, and even the most significant argument by @Belbury which caused the block to turn out to be not true. (Within minutes of action on commons, later they said it was more than 1 hour.)
Thanks
Zuck28 (talk) 05:36, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
10 minutes or 1 hour is not much of a difference. What matters is that Belbury found a connection, and I have asked him for timestamp details of your uploads of 13 February? Alternatively the blocking admin Izno may provide the evidence. Jay 💬 07:07, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure,I am waiting for the final decision. It’s been a long time, kindly finalised this as soon as possible. Zuck28 (talk) 15:30, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Izno , @Belbury It’s been more than a month since I am blocked due to a suspicious activity. Hereby I request you to kindly take a final review and give a fair decision. I am willing to accept the decision by the experienced editors and administrators. And I pledge to use my rights very carefully if I get unblocked.
thanks
Zuck28 (talk) 13:36, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @Jay
Both witnesses have provided their opinions, indicating a lack of concrete evidence regarding the alleged sockpuppetry. It is evident that the decision rests with you. Given the absence of proof, I kindly request to be unblocked.
Thank you.
Zuck28 (talk) 16:52, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jay, I have no private evidence. If you come to a different conclusion with the data presented at the SPI, and you think the appeal is sufficient, then you are free to act on it. Izno (talk) 16:23, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am still waiting for the final decision. Zuck28 (talk) 16:53, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Belbury: Can you provide the timestamp details of Zuck28's uploads of 13 February? I see File:Suresh Gupta AICWA.jpg uploaded at 2:04pm UTC. Your notice for deletion was at 12:55pm UTC. It is possible the other uploads have been deleted, and I can't see it in user contributions as I'm not an admin on Commons (but I don't suppose you are either, so you'll have to take help of a Commons admin). How did you find out about the 10 minute spaced upload? Was it from the image addition at Suresh Shyamlal Gupta?
@Zuck28: How is that you uploaded the files 10 minutes after the deletion notice at Aaajit22700's talk page? Jay 💬 08:22, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jay: I don't remember how I found it, but it looks like I may have misread the timestamps if it was one hour ten between the flagging of one flickrwash and the upload of another. Belbury (talk) 09:11, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea; perhaps it's just a pure coincidence or a misunderstanding. It's better to cross-check their claim. Even if it's true, it's not intentional, and I was totally unaware. This is not a valid reason because even if they nominated a picture for deletion, how will it affect me or how will I get informed about it?
Zuck28 (talk) 09:16, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously not here to contribute in a constructive manner. Highly recommend this user not to be unblocked. Melvin Hudson (talk) 08:21, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please give more details. I see that you started editing Wikipedia from today. Jay 💬 09:48, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jay, this user has been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that they're not here to build an encyclopedia. So their comment should be ignored.

@MP1999: Please note that these are not maintenance templates, your revert was not a minor edit even though it was marked as such, and this editor has been blocked since February 15 and cannot use a sandbox. Please ensure that if you are going to add such templates to user talk pages that you use them correctly. - Aoidh (talk) 20:04, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting review of Indefinite Block

[edit]
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Zuck28 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Dear Administrators, It’s been more than 6 months since I was blocked indefinitely on the suspicion of being a sockpuppet. I acknowledge the reasons for my block and understand the community's concerns regarding my activity on Wikipedia. I understand that my actions, while well-intentioned, did not comply with WP copyright policies. I have taken time to understand the image use policies & copyright guidelines. I am committed to following the policies very carefully while editing Wikipedia. I want to promise that I am not using multiple accounts to evade blocks or anything which counts as sock puppetry. I will only upload pics which are properly licensed and comply with guidelines. I have learned all the policies regarding notability, verifiability, neutrality, content and editing, and will avoid behaviours that could lead to suspicions of COI editing or sockpuppetry. Currently, I am on vacation and I eagerly want to contribute to Wikipedia constructively & responsibly. I request the community to forgive past mistakes and grant me a second chance. Thank you Zuck28 (talk) 4:10 am, 20 September 2024, Friday (27 days ago) (UTC−4)

Accept reason:

I'm inclined to accept, largely on the basis of the discussion between Jay, Izno and Belbury above. Please note that, due to the circumstances of both the block and this unblock, any editing that is suggestive of COI/UPE will be met with high scrutiny. For your own well-being, I recommend avoiding UPE-prone topics, such as biographies of living people or creating articles about active organizations. signed, Rosguill talk 15:03, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much Zuck28 (talk) 15:05, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]


No CU evidence of recent block evasion or sockpuppetry. However, note the user states "I am on vacation" meaning they are likely not editing from their regular IP address range(es). --Yamla (talk) 11:35, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

these kind of biography and wikis are considered as non Wp:RS. Zuck28 (talk) 06:55, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Instead of adding more templates to the article due of the presence of a terrible source, it is your responsibility as a responsible Wikipedia editor to delete unreliable sources from that page with good reason.
The Rajat Dalal page does not contain any negative sources, with the exception of one. Kindly work on your contribution style. Super Dud (talk) 02:48, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I tried to improve the page by removing unsourced data and unreliable sources but unfortunately, my edits were ignored and reverted that’s why I had to do this.
I respect your beliefs and thoughts, I suggest you participate in the deletion discussion to share your thoughts.

Image tagging for File:Edith Udhardt.jpeg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Edith Udhardt.jpeg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Non-free use of File:Danish.jpeg

[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Danish.jpeg. However, there is a concern that the use of the image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. Details of this problem, and which specific criteria that the image may not meet, can be obtained by going to the image description page. If you feel that this image does meet those criteria, please place a note on the image description or talk page explaining why. Do not remove the {{di-fails NFCC}} tag itself.

WP:COMMONNAME

[edit]

Read about WP:COMMONNAME, and why WP:OFFICIALNAMES are not used in Wikipedia. Also follow WP:BRD instead of edit warring. Thanks. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:22, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As per Wp:NAMECHANGES
Sometimes the subject of an article will undergo a change of name. When this occurs, we give extra weight to independent, reliable, English-language sources ("reliable sources" for short) written after the name change. If the reliable sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name, Wikipedia should follow suit and change relevant titles to match.
A primary google search indicates that majority of the reliable sources are using the new name “Gurugram” instead of Gurgaon, the term Gurgaon is used only for a small locality in the city now.
See 1.

Zuck28, you've done (and are still doing) solid work on the article — just wanted to say that. You might consider adding her height to the infobox (not her weight — that's never really cool to include). I also left a couple of notes on the Talk page: one suggesting the Hindi-script version of her name belongs in the intro (helps non-Hindi editors like me when searching), and another offering some context around whether caste should be mentioned.
Also — I took a quick look at some of your other edits. You do thoughtful, interesting work that clearly makes Wikipedia better.
IMHO, you solidified article, prior to the AfD – structured it with room to grow alongside Rathee's career. Recent improvements, built on your work, really reflects that growth. If it survives this AfD (fingers crossed), the work you've done becomes part of that trajectory. If not, it's worth keeping a copy of your latest version somewhere (I'm doing it, lol). Accessing deleted pages is up to admin discretion, and it's always good to have a backup.
And hey — even when editors disagree, they're not our adversaries. We're all trying to build the same encyclopedia, just from different angles (peer review is healthy). It works best when we stay on higher ground and respect one another. – Eurodog (talk) 14:40, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Eurodog, Thank you so much for writing this kind message. I have added her height on your recommendation to the infobox,(tried searching her weight but nothing has come up😂). About the name in Hindi-script, I noticed, @Arjayay has removed the Hindi text by citing WP:NOINDICSCRIPT, and I believe he’s a senior editor with better understanding of the guidelines than me, so I request him to kindly assist with his wisdom. Also, I am not sure about the caste thing, but I am aware that many Bollywood actors' article have their ethnicity and caste mentioned in early life sections.
I am happy someone noticed and acknowledged my work on Wikipedia, but I still believe I am in my learning stage, I like your style of editing, specifically the citation style, I tried to imitate this by using SNF template but failed.
As per your recommendation I have copied and saved the content. And I believe the article will survive, because of the honest and genuine editors like you exist here. Your argument is the strongest in the discussion with detailed evaluation and covering all the aspects of the discussion.
i agree with your statement, "We're all trying to build the same encyclopedia, just from different angles". I also believe in collaborative approach and ready to accept feedbacks and suggestions. If you have any subject you want to work on and need someone to collaborate, feel free to reach out and I will do the best I can.
Happy editing!

Hi Zuck28 —
      1. I'm trying to figure out what exactly "Tum Kya Mile" refers to in the IIA table. It may be a misattribution unless we can find a solid source connecting it directly to Rathee's performance.
      2. I do think the Hindi script version of her name should be restored — it's part of how she's identified in media covering her Hindi-language work, and helpful for searching across languages.
      3. Re: the CITEREF system — here's a trick:
        The syntax is:
        |ref={{SfnRef|Last name, Mon. DD,|YYYY|p=}} (or '|pp=' for page ranges or '|loc=' for other non-numeric inputs).
        When you want to use it in the references list, just remove the "Ref" part, like this:
        {{Sfn|Last name, Mon. DD,|YYYY|pp=25–26}}
      4. Lastly, I suggest, whenever possible, add archive-url and archive-date to your web citations (to save the citation from url rot) — these archive urls are usually found at Archive.org. If no archive exists, you can easily create one at https://web.archive.org/save. – Eurodog (talk) 05:03, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
        Tum Kya Mile is related to another person Shreya Ghoshal, Rathee is not associated to the song.

Speedy deletion nomination of Rajbir Singh

[edit]

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 Rajbir Singh requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. fr33kman 13:45, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zuck28 — I noticed the speedy deletion tag on the Rajbir Singh article. I'm not jumping into the discussion myself, but I just wanted to say: don't be discouraged. Academic notability — especially for vice-chancellors and UGC-affiliated figures — doesn't always come with headline coverage, but that's exactly why Wikipedia has WP:PROF. Professors aren't influencers, and notability isn't always Google-deep.
You've clearly done the groundwork: institutional leadership, national rankings, program milestones, student initiatives — it's well structured and policy-aligned. That already puts it ahead of many A7-tagged articles.
If you decide to follow up with the tagger, I'd say take a fencing approach — calm footwork, clean parries, and no wild lunges. Just lead with the sources and policy. A good touch is made with timing and precision, not force.
Whatever happens, you're improving fast – you're a solid contributor – and you're building serious chops as an editor. Keep your stance balanced, your citations sharp, and your confidence up. – 05:19, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
😅 Oops — just saw that the speedy deletion was already declined back on July 5. So, uh ... never mind the fencing metaphors — turns out you already parried that one cleanly! But hey, my admiration for your work still stands. You're doing great work. Onward! 🛡️🤺 – Eurodog (talk) 05:41, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding edits on St. Xavier's Hazaribagh page

[edit]

Dear Zuck28,

You have removed some notable alumnae from this page. How do you decide who is a notable alumni? As a matter of fact, some of them, are prominent individuals, albeit they don't have a wiki page of their own.

I suggest dividing the Notable Alumni section further into different sections like: Businessman, Academics, Administration, Politics et cetera.

Many alumnae have not been added yet. Would love to know your thoughts.

Regards,

ReddingtonMaverick :)

The Editorial Instinct Barnstar
For recognizing notability of the Sonia Rathee article and triggering a defense to keep it. – Eurodog/talk Posted July 15, 2025; 4:44 AM EDT (New York) / 2:14 PM IST (Mumbai) / 08:44 UTC

Saving the Sonia Rathee article started with you. You held the line throughout the improvement process and kept an objective, steady tone throughout the defense. You were fighting city hall. It was you who initially had a grasp of notability when googability and literal takes weren't working.

Your editorial instincts in arts and entertainment — demonstrated in the discussion and edits — are the kind that can easily be overlooked.

I genuinely believe that editors of all ilks, on all sides of these discussions (even when they seem curt, blunt, rigid, etc.), are here because they want to make Wikipedia better — and you clearly exhibited that sort of optimism, too.

Thanks for bringing that kind of energy to our work, even when faced with the likelihood of defeat. You stuck with the long game. You stayed in de-escalate mode. You embodied qualities that make editors last, and matter. Keep it up! – Eurodog (talk) 08:43, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for writing this kind message @Eurodog.
I appreciate all your substantial contributions to the article, your contributions were crucial to establishing the notability and saving the article. I like the way of your communicate and your kindness, I will be more than happy to help or join you if you need my assistance with anything in future.
I wish you all the happiness in your life.

Adding an image on infobox

[edit]

Hey there, hope you are doing good, it is stated that I want to add other photograph on the article of the writer Saadat Hasan Manto, because the existing one is un-flattering and does not depict his true features. The photograph I want to add is in this website [1] If not then this one [2].

So, my question is what is the status of these photographs, are they copyrighted, are they allowed to add? Which photograph is more suitable to replace the existing one? I've read we have to add it on wikipedia, then on the infobox, so guide me which one to add. And if neither are allowed then also tell me. I'll be grateful.

Page reviews for deleted page

[edit]

recently a page was deleted [2] and i noticed that you had mentioned the reason that Mohammed_Al_Habtoor doesnt has No significant coverage, unlike his father Khalaf Al Habtoor [3] has... Could you please help me publish this page as this page was rejected few times however i noticed this page was written in neutral tone and similar to other pages. However i can't argue on this point rather would request if you could help review this page and make it live. Looking forward to your help as i am not sure what i can change to make it more neutral as the person is successful business, Philanthropist and a good man.

Happy editing. Zuck28 (talk) 10:56, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

[edit]

You cannot remove a deletion notice if you made the article. ~Rafael! (He, him) • talk • guestbook • projects 14:46, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I discovered the topic through Women in Red. However, while I was expanding the article, you quickly added a speedy deletion tag. I found some sources that I wanted to include, but the article was deleted before I could add them. Regardless, thank you for your message. Zuck28 (talk) 14:50, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Zuck28 sorry, I did not know. Next time, remember to make it as a draft or add the {{in use}} template. And don't make it so promotional. ~Rafael! (He, him) • talk • guestbook • projects 14:52, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I will keep this in mind for the future. I want to ask can this article be undeleted so that I can continue expanding it or do I need to recreate it from scratch? Zuck28 (talk) 14:55, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You can contact @BusterD who deleted the article after I nominated it at their talk page. After that, move it to draftspace. ~Rafael! (He, him) • talk • guestbook • projects 14:56, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would have deleted this anyway. I suggest you find abundant sources, (at least three or four) before you create a draft about any subject. Seeing several reliable sources in draftspace will prevent most sorts of speedy deletion on your page creations. BusterD (talk) 15:35, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
At your request, I've created a draft at Draft:Connie Boucher. BusterD (talk) 15:38, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@BusterD Thank you for understanding the concern.
here are some sources I found. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Zuck28 (talk) 15:48, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have no interest in reading these sources now. I assumed good faith you had them; you're not known as a troublesome user. The reviewer on the other hand is always very interested in seeing sources, and will tag your page for speedy deletion without them. If you'd put those links in the original creation, I likely would not have deleted and the page might not have been tagged. Lesson learned? BusterD (talk) 16:35, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much! Zuck28 (talk) 16:36, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Zuck28 for more info that Wikipedia is not promotional, see WP:Yes, it is promotion. Thank you, ~Rafael! (He, him) • talk • guestbook • projects 16:39, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Connie Boucher

[edit]

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 Connie Boucher requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. BusterD (talk) 21:43, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Again? You recently undeleted it on my request. Zuck28 (talk) 21:44, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And you failed to source it before you restored the draft to mainspace. Not smart. BusterD (talk) 22:16, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, but now you can see there are 7 sources added already. Zuck28 (talk) 22:18, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

August 2025

[edit]

A page you created has been nominated for deletion as an attack page, according to section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Do not create pages that attack, threaten, or disparage their subject or any other entity. Attack pages and files are not tolerated by Wikipedia, and users who create or add such material may be blocked from editing. Fram (talk) 14:56, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Fram, this is a misunderstanding. It is not an attack page in any way. This is a neutral biography with reliable sources. Zuck28 (talk) 15:00, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've deleted it because, like yesterday, this is largely unsourced. I agree with Fram that this seems to be a page to accuse someone of crimes, so it is an attack page. Do not expect me to engage with you on the merits or restore the page at your request. As I said yesterday, when pages are properly sourced, nobody tags them for CSD. This is a behavioral issue, not a content-related one. BusterD (talk) 15:17, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I had added two sources already in the Early life section, and as I was planning to expand it more I had more sources for the data but it was quickly tagged and deleted. Zuck28 (talk) 15:20, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly like yesterday, you chose to publish a page without adequate sourcing. Yesterday I was really nice about it. Today, I'm ready to block you for it. DON'T CREATE BLP PAGESPACE WITHOUT ADEQUATE RELIABLE SOURCES! BusterD (talk) 15:25, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I understand your concern about sourcing but today in this case, the article was in its initial form and the two sources, Hindustan Times and India Today were enough to verify the content of the article. And it was clear that I was editing it to expand with more sources. I apologise and accept my mistake, that I forgot to add the {{in use}} tag and enough sources. But I pledge to not repeat the same mistake.
Thank you for your attention! Zuck28 (talk) 15:31, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Two sources solely about a 2015 arrest is not what anybody would describe as direct detailing or neutral sourcing. BusterD (talk) 17:28, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @BusterD, I accept my mistakes and apologise for the inconvenience. And I am promising you that it will never happen again, I have understood what is wrong in my editing pattern. I assure you I will always be careful about these mistakes and request you to kindly restore the article in Draftspace, so that I can continue the article, if you think this article should not be restored, I respectfully accept that decision too.
Thank you for understanding. Zuck28 (talk) 17:32, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Zuck28 why? I told you not to do that before, and said to write it in draftspace! ~Rafael! (He, him) • talk • guestbook • projects 23:18, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Stefan Wackerbauer

[edit]

Hello, Zuck28,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Cloventt and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, Stefan Wackerbauer, for deletion, because a consensus decision previously decided that it wasn't suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. If you wish to restore a page deleted via a deletion discussion, please use the deletion review process instead, rather than reposting the content of the page.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Cloventt}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

They are not. It's not just me. BusterD (talk) 08:54, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for clarifying. Zuck28 (talk) 13:26, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Researching historical women writers who used pseudonyms requires careful investigation across multiple sources, as many women adopted pen names to avoid gender bias and judgment (e.g., being labeled a bluestocking) and, ultimately, to get published.
