Unhelpful following

You have followed me to two articles to refactor my research - John Trevena and Jennifer Mee and then templated my talk page inappropriately. I think this may be retaliation for my AfD nomination of an article you started, or a result of involvement on a recent proposal to delete the ARS. You also appear to have an association with others that I have had conflict with. Please discontinue your uncollegial WP:FOLLOWING and or WP:HOUNDING or you may be blocked from editing. Lightburst (talk) 20:15, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

I understand that you're upset about being warned for copyright violations, after previously being blocked for copyright violations. But I didn't start Tender Buttons Press, and I've never edited John Trevena (which is a redirect to Ernest George Henham), so there's obviously some basic confusion here. That said, I did recently copyedit Eric Tessmer after seeing it linked on the Nancy Wilson (rock musician) page. I'm glad you started the Tessmer article, and I hope it grows over time. But let's stick to Wikipedia policies on copyright, okay? Indignant Flamingo (talk) 20:24, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
Yes wrong article. Eric Tessmer is the article - along with your revert of my edit on Nancy Wilson. I have never been blocked for a copyright violation so that is a lie - I have been accused by your associate. I see what you are doing, I also see your strong opposition to ARS, and your close association with those I have had conflict with. It is transparent and disingenuous. And you are on notice. If you think you have a CCI case, please report it in the appropriate place. Lightburst (talk) 20:40, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
Your block log is here: [1] Note that the block reason is "Copyright infringement". I recently argued in favor of ARS at the recent proposal to shut it down. No CCI case is required to fix copyright issues when they are blatant and obvious, as was the case with entire sentences that you copied and pasted from sources. I have no idea what "on notice" means, but if you genuinely think that these actions need to be reviewed, I recommend filing a report at WP:ANI. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 20:58, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
Please read the entries here slower blocked from editing for a period of 36 hours for edit warring borderline copyvio. I was blocked for edit warring - after self reporting an edit war that involved several editors and myself adding in a properly attributed blockquote. I reported it to an admin who chose to block me- the block was excessive - since a block is not to be used as punishment - but is to protect the project - which I was trying to do. Administrators are not all created equal as you know - and neither are editors. I made the mistake of approaching the wrong one. So it has nothing to do with your following and accusations. Realize we are all here building an encyclopedia. Here is your entry from that item that I read Since you pinged me: I think that MfD is a bit petty, particularly given that one of the !voting editors was previously the recipient of generosity from admins who blocked their AfD socks and warned them about socking but didn't file an SPI. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 04:10, 22 and this other entry I can think of egregious examples of ARS involvement (e.g. Deep_voice_privilege springs to mind) Anyway, I have an encyclopedia to work on, and I think you do as well. WP:DTR Lightburst (talk) 21:35, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
Glad to hear that you're committed to improving the encyclopedia. Maybe someday you and I can conspire to bring Eric Tessmer to good article status. My talk page is open to you, should you wish to collaborate. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 23:11, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
I am very familiar with your brand of backhanded kindness "hey I am just here to help" ...by the way...here is a template warning for you WP:DTR and here is a kindly worded comment on the AfD about copyright problems and templating the offender. Oh, and here is a reminder of your block. And here is a revert of your "good faith edits" No thank you to your kind of help. I will keep creating content and collaborate with those who build the encyclopedia. Have a great holiday season. Lightburst (talk) 23:30, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
@Lightburst: I have never took part in the discussions on ARS, have barely had interaction with either you or Indignant Flamingo, but I have to say that I am rather appalled by your treatment of them. You have clearly taken to WP:BATTLEGROUND behavior without any sense of WP:AGF. Indignant Flamingo is a perfectly fine user, and if I see you harassing them or making these kinds of posts in the future, then I'll be certain to start a discussion about it. –MJLTalk 02:15, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
@MJL: You are free to do as you like. You should probably help build the encyclopedia and steer clear of drama that does not involve you. Happy holidays to you. Lightburst (talk) 02:56, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
@Lightburst: Please do not remove the copyvio-revdel template from Malford Milligan again. It's not an article deletion template. It's a request for an administrator to hide the revisions that have the identified copyvio in them. After a copyvio-revdel, the only difference is that when you look at the page history, non-administrators can't see the copyvio (the revisions with copyvio will have lines through them). For articles we're keeping that have a history of extensive copyvio, that's the standard practice to comply with our copyright policy. One more time: copyvio-revdel means we're keeping the article, and hope to improve it. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 03:41, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Yes, as you know I did not write that mess of an article - however you followed me there after I edited the page Dec 12. I did template it multiple times previously for lack of citations etc, and then added small tidbits like an infobox. My intent was to redo the article, when time permitted, however I looked at your contributions and saw that you not ownly followed me from Nancy Wilson, Eric Tessmer, and Jennifer Mee but you also followed me to the Malford Milligan article - so I TNT's the article. Regarding your CCI template, there were a total of 6 templates on the article and I removed them all because all problems are corrected, except for some weak sources that I used in the rewrite. I saw that you like templating so we will leave it there until some higher authority removes it. Lightburst (talk) 03:58, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

@Lightburst: By removing that copyvio template, you are having Wikipedia host the offending material within the article's history. Circumstances notwithstanding, you shouldn't remove that template even if you are alleging WP:HOUNDING. –MJLTalk 04:09, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Nomination of Sakamichi Kenshusei for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Sakamichi Kenshusei is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sakamichi Kenshusei until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. ミラP 04:30, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Page Blanking

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at HJ Lu, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you.

Hi, Splinemath. Redirecting a stub article to an article that already covers the topic is not "page blanking". "Page blanking" means leaving the page with no content (see WP:BLANK). That would definitely be disruptive! What I did is called "blank and redirect". You can read about it here, but basically it is a common way to handle articles that simply duplicate existing content in another article. In this case, HJ Lu duplicates content at Linux distribution, so I redirected the HJ Lu article title to the appropriate section of Linux distribution. Obviously you disagree with that. Usually we just discuss things on the article talk page if we disagree, and I would highly recommend that you do that in the future, rather than dropping disruptive editing warnings onto user talk pages. But hey, no big deal. Good luck expanding the article. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 04:09, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
You wouldn't mind taking the page to AFD, wouldn't you? ミラP 19:51, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
@Miraclepine:: I was hoping that the article creator would expand the article after reverting the redirect, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. If the article is nominated for AfD, I would participate, but in the interest of de-escalating potential conflict, I'm not going to nominate the article myself.

DYK for Akane Takada

On 30 January 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Akane Takada, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after a knee injury at the age of 12, ballet dancer Akane Takada waited more than a year to physically grow enough for corrective surgery? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Akane Takada. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Akane Takada), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Copyrighted material

Sorry, Indignant Flamingo. Due to adding the text from Anime News Network, my addition was removed a whole as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. Sorry about that.

Yoga Widya 1994 (talk) 05:31, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

@Yoga Widya 1994: Please stop copying text from sources into Wikipedia. Even if you change one or two words, it is still a copyright violation. For example, your edits here and here are also problems. The text is obviously copied from ANN, and your attempts to change one or two words have introduced grammatical errors. I have reverted those edits, too. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 21:07, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Maybe if you actually followed the group, you would know that they have new members. Because judging by your edit summary, you don't actually follow them at all.203.206.30.94 (talk) 09:51, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Maybe if you read the Wikipedia guide to citing sources, you won't be reverted for adding unsourced information to articles. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 10:02, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
[2]. Like I said, you would know this if you actually followed the group. Why would you waste your time editing a page of a group that you don't even care enough to keep up with? Stick to editing pages about subject that you actually care about.203.206.30.94 (talk) 10:37, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for providing a source in your edit summary. Maybe next time you can figure out how to add a source to the article itself. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 11:13, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Hey there, JayBeeEll. I guess I can see how you might find that hostile. I was bouncing around among three very different languages all day yesterday, which tends to make me a bit more direct in each of them, but hey, that doesn't matter, it obviously bothered you and that's the important thing, so I'm off to strike the second sentence now.

The Wikipedia Asian Month 2022 Barnstar

Invite to Join Wikipedia Asian Month 2023

You are receiving this message because you participated in the Wikipedia Asian Month 2022 as an organizer or editor.

Join the Wikipedia Asian Month 2023

Dear all,

The Wikipedia Asian Month 2023[1] is coming ! The campaign start within a flexible 30 days from November to December. Following with the changes of the rules made by last year, the wish to have more people get to know Asia and Asian related topic is the same! Click "Here" to Organize/Join a WAM Event.


1. Propose "Focus Theme" related to Asia !

If you are based somewhere in Asia, or have specific passion on an Asian topic, please propose your "Focus Theme" by October 25th. The WAM international team will select 5 themes. Please propose your focus theme through this link[2].

2. Enhancing existing articles can also count as part of campaign contribution.

Any edits, including creating new articles or adding new content to existing articles, over 3000 bytes in total would be able to get a reward. Last year, due to this change of rules, the Programs & Events Dashboard was suggested. However, according to community survey of 2022, Fountain Tool is still the best platform for tracking edit and points. You don’t need to create any Dashboard. For the tracking of editing existing article, the international team is currently designing a form. Will soon publish to the main page of WAM 2023.

3. More flexible campaign time

The contribution duration would remain 30days, but we extended the overall campaign timeline to 2 months. All organizers can decide when to start their WAM as long as the whole duration is within November 1st to December 31th. It means that you can participate in WAM based on the needs of your local community.

Timetable

  • October 1st, 2023 : Publish International Campaign Page of the Year
  • October 5th to 25th, 2023 : Call for focus themes of WAM 2023.
  • Before 29 October, 2023: Complete Registration [3] of Each language Wikipedia.
  • November 1st, UTC 00:00 to December 31th, UTC 00:00, 2023: Running the Campaign. (Find your local campaign for the actual event date.)
  • January 1st to March 15th, 2024: Auditing of each language Wikipedia.
  • March 30th, 2024: Deadline of reporting statistics and eligible editors to the International Team
  • April 1st to May 15th, 2024: The international team distributes Barnstars and Certificates to eligible editors of each event.

For your information, the main page of Wikipedia Asian Month is currently undertaking a reconstruction for archiving purpose. For the 2023 event please bookmarked this page. We hope you will enjoy Wikipedia Asian Month! If you have any inquiry, feel free to contact us by info@asianmonth.wiki [4]. We look forward to your participation.

Cheers!!!

Thanks for all your work and thoughtful comments, asilvering! I've clarified the text and added one more citation (an already cited source), so that should address that comment, but please let me know if you notice anything else. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 01:52, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

The article The Fall of Language in the Age of English you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:The Fall of Language in the Age of English for comments about the article, and Talk:The Fall of Language in the Age of English/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Women in Green GA Editathon June 2024 - Going Back in Time

Hello Indignant Flamingo:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!

Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Women in Green's October 2024 edit-a-thon

Hello Indignant Flamingo:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!
