Gil Tamari

Dear Praxidicae,

I have added several reliable sources of German-language and English-language newspapers to the article Draft:Gil Tamari. I would like to know how many sources are necessary for an article.

Kind regards,

Canary Burton

Why do you revert to uncorrected version of https://en.wikipedia.org/Canary_Burton the instant after G makes corrections? Ganellia (talk) 21:46, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Because, as I explained multiple times, adding a note that she changed her name etc...is NOT A PUBLISHED RELIABLE SOURCE. PRAXIDICAE🌈 21:54, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Draft:HealthySure

Hey thanks for the quick review,

Removed the product part from the company page. Now it only has the following sections : Introduction, History (Founding and Funding), Growth and Other Initiatives. No promotional language used. Everything supported by proper citations

References include credible sites like Inc42, Time of India, Mint, CNBCTV18, Crunchbase, BW Disrupt and VCCircle. by the way I am trying to add a reference from yourstory.com but not being able to. I can see \.yours\.at in https://meta.wikimedia.org/Spam_blacklist. Is this some mistake?

Open to changes suggested by you to get this approved.

Thanks! 05:13, 23 July 2022 (UTC) Yashdama (talk) 05:13, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Eastern Institute for Integrated Learning in Management College

Hello there,

I saw you declined my Article ""Draft:Eastern Institute for Integrated Learning in Management College"" for reliable sources. But last time it was declined by RPSkokie. He also left a reason and the reason is ""The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Eastern Institute for Integrated Learning in Management University"". But on his last declined he didn't left any comment about the reliable sources. I want to say you that this is an Business School in Kolkata and all references source came Organically like TV interviews, Online article publish. All those sources are verified. Even I can see that the article is not like an advertisement. Also there is no affiliation or relation with ""Eastern Institute for Integrated Learning in Management University"". Can you please tell me what's wrong with this article about the Institute. Ghadamakhouls (talk) 16:32, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

CSD or PROD

Hello. I am MdaNoman from Bangladesh. I had tagged the page with CSD. But I thought that it should be gone under PROD. But you tagged as CSD. What is your comment in this regard?--Abdullah☆ (Talk) 19:40, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

The CSD tag explains it. PRAXIDICAE🌈 19:40, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Yes. But when we should go under PROD? --Abdullah☆ (Talk) 19:42, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

I don't do prods, so I'm not the person to ask. PRAXIDICAE🌈 19:43, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Oh, no problem. And also thanks for your answer.--Abdullah☆ (Talk) 19:44, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Dictionary authorship

Did you have to apply to Elon Musk to become the author of the dictionary of the MARS? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:54, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

No, I just asked my former co-worker, Scooter :) He's way cooler anyway. PRAXIDICAE🌈 19:59, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Sorry my finger slipped

What was your reason?

Hello Praxidicae, what was your reason for moving Portable musician back to draft because I would rather prefer an AFD discussion if your reason was about reliable source. Gabriel601 (talk) 14:51, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages talk:Deletion policy#Article re-created in mainspace after AfD consensus of "draftify"

Hi Praxidicae. Given your recent G4 tag at Omoba Central Model School, you may be interested in a new topic I have started at Misplaced Pages talk:Deletion policy#Article re-created in mainspace after AfD consensus of "draftify" to get some clear procedural guidance on these situations. (I agree the article should be deleted. For the life of me, I'm not sure the correct procedure, and I'm not sure G4 is correct - but I'll leave it for an admin to figure out at the actual article.) Singularity42 (talk) 17:16, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

G4 is still correct imo and I don't feel like engaging in another circular discussion at WT:Deletion policy. If someone moves an article that was sent to draft space via AFD without a proper review, it should be treated as a G4 or sent right back to draft space. Thanks for notifying me though. PRAXIDICAE🌈 17:18, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

It probably should be G4. Maybe that conversation will result in a modification of G4 to expressly allow for that. (And if the article is deleted now per G4, I won't weep...) Singularity42 (talk) 17:19, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

For the record, it was deleted under G12; the non-infringing content was identical to what was in the draft so I kept the G4 tag on as well. Primefac (talk) 18:05, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi. Can I know why are you going to delete the article of Anthony Lacavera? Ksmwiki 123! (talk) 21:58, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Plotinus Article

Hi

There are no copyright violations in the Plotinus article. I was very careful of that. Please name 1.

Daryl Prasad Darylprasad (talk) 14:22, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Then why was most of it copied from the linked source that is subject to copyright? PRAXIDICAE🌈 14:23, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

What linked source?. I have reworded scholarship and been very careful no to breach any copyrights. I have been very careful about that. It is re-worded material from scholarship. Darylprasad (talk) 14:30, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

This lays it out pretty clearly. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:34, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

That is not the section I was working on. I was working on the topic 'Biography' only. I have not touched any other topics. I did also add the 'Selected bibliography' topic. Those other topics have not been edited by me. Could you please restore the 'Biography' topic and the 'Selected bibliography' topic. I will work on re-writing the other topics. I have not edited any other topics. The text you have found in branch of copyright was not put there by me.Darylprasad (talk) 14:37, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

The topic 'The One' and 'Emanation by the One' are in breach of copyright and should be deleted. I wasn't up to them yet as I was finishing off the 'Biography' topic in my update of the Article. Darylprasad (talk) 15:08, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

I have removed all the old text that was in breach of copyright. I will re-write those topics soon. Darylprasad (talk) 15:16, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

The new version of the Article I just put up is not in breach of copyright. Darylprasad (talk) 15:18, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

The version of the article you just removed has no copyright breaches. I suppose you need to check it all out but the version 15:14, 29 July 2022‎ is clean. I hope you sort this out soon.

Regards

Daryl Prasad Darylprasad (talk) 15:22, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Prax, are you sure this is still copyvio? I'm not seeing anything. There's a site that mirrors en.wiki and a book on google books from 2017 that stole a bunch of wikitext that was added in 2009. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:41, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Feel free to restore it to whichever clean copy there is - I'm not feeling 100% today so may have missed something. PRAXIDICAE🌈 15:45, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Believe Music (need more information)

Hello Praxidicae, you deleted all my modifications on this page (https://en.wikipedia.org/Believe_Music), and said that i m a "spam". I respect your work, and respect all the things you've done for Misplaced Pages, but if you look in detail my modifications, you ll see : 1. I improved pages on French firms and Music industries before, 2. On this specific page, i justified and sourced all the modifications. Maybe i I should not have moved page to Believe (Company) ? Can i just restore my previous modifications ? Otherwise, can you give me more informations about any errors ? Thank You ! Salah May (talk) 14:18, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Abigail Thorn as a playwright

So, a user decided to add that Abigail Thorn was a playwright and you reverted it and left a comment that just says "Definitely not" (Revision as of 18:49, 12 July 2022). Is there a policy on Misplaced Pages that prevents that change? Because Abigail literally wrote a play called "The Prince" that is going to be shown in a few months (as seen here, last paragraph), and playwright is literally just "a person who writes plays" by all dictionary definitions I have seen by searching, so saying "Definitely not" seems a bit... harsh? AnAkemie (talk) 03:04, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

While I cannot speak for Praxidicae directly (and I do somewhat think the wording of her edit summary was overly critical), I agree that her revert was appropriate. Writing a single play does not make someone a playwright - it should be something that they are known for doing on a regular (or semi-regular) basis as part of "what they do". Your dictionary definition even agrees with us, in that the key word in a person who writes plays is plays (plural). Should Thorn start writing more plays and it becomes "her thing" then by all means the article can be changed to include it, but for now it should probably stay out of the lead and infobox. Primefac (talk) 07:49, 31 July 2022 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

@Primefac Well, thank you for your response. I actually wanted to go to the talk page but Praxidicae seems to have way more experience, so it seemed better to just ask the rationale directly.

Anyway, I am not that convinced by an artist becoming an artist when they do a thing more than once. For example, an anonymous artist is still known by their artistic capabilities even when we may only know only one thing they have done. I would argue if the person did it in a professional way, once is enough to be considered an artist on that area.

That is exactly why I asked if there's a policy on that, because I think both of our views are correct in a way; it's more of a personal opinion. AnAkemie (talk) 14:49, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

@AnAkemie: I think the relevant issue is more about relative coverage and characterization in reliable sources, rather than the dictionary definition of playwright.

If sources consistently define Thorn as a playwright, then the Misplaced Pages article should reflect that; otherwise it should not be used as a defining feature in the lead section. Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style/Biography § Lead section says: Well-publicized recent events affecting a subject, whether controversial or not, should be kept in historical perspective. What is most recent is not necessarily what is most noteworthy: new information should be carefully balanced against old, with due weight accorded to each.

Moved to draft

Hello User:Praxidicae,

I have moved the article Draft:Prince Anthony Bart-Appiah back to draft to properly write it. The person passes Misplaced Pages:Notability per the sources provided. Thanks Geezygee (talk) 17:41, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

It's still spam. You are not permitted to remove the tags on this account or any others you create. PRAXIDICAE🌈 17:48, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the review

By more reliable sources, what do you mean, I cited newspapers from my country Caramel2155 (talk) 14:45, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello Praxidicae, Thank you for your comment

Hello, I would like to contact you regarding your feedback on Farouk Hosny Foundation which is a non-profit organization that promotes culture and arts in Egypt. It has a great impact on the cultural arena in Egypt and I think it is worth writing about on Misplaced Pages. My email is (Redacted). please feel free to contact me. Dina Al-Mahdy (talk) 16:07, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

We will not contact you via email, and Misplaced Pages's inclusion policy has absolutely nothing to do with how "worthy" something is. We have articles on terrible things and terrible people. What matters is if a subject has been discussed at length in multiple third-party publications with editorial oversight. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v 17:49, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Paladins

Please explain why you're reverting my edits. The information is accurate and source I'm attempting to include is literally a post from a developer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sru111 (talk • contribs) 18:37, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Her words: "Once more unsourced cruft". You cite no sources and what you're adding doesn't help explain what the game or its setting is in broad strokes. We are a general encyclopaedia. Details should be put on a Paladins-focussed wiki, if one exists (and I'm fairly certain one does). —Jéské Couriano v^_^v 18:45, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

You've got to be kidding me, the original version has zero sources itself, does a poor job of explaining things and outright says things that are false like the game having a sci-fi theme. Why was that original one even allowed in the first place? I'll add sources I guess, but that's ridiculous. - Sru111
