Revdel

Hi Anarchyte, I was wondering if this version of Doom series is offensive enough to be purged. Thanks, and happy editing. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 11:32, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Looks offensive enough. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I've revdel'd it. Anarchyte (talk) 11:46, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for taking care of it! soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 14:06, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
Hi Anarchyte, I went through old discussion I had. I noticed that before being blocked, BatmobileFire (talk · contribs) also said some nasty things. Do you think it's worthy of revdel'ing? soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 21:03, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
I've removed the mainspace edits. If Dcirovic wants the vandalism hidden from their user pages, they can feel free to contact me or another admin for that. Anarchyte (talk) 09:07, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
Hi Anarchyte, is this anti-Semitic edit summary worthy of revdel'ing? soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 11:01, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
@Soetermans: Thanks for the note. I've removed it. Racism should never be tolerated. Anarchyte (talk) 11:46, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

By now you're my go-to revdel person. Here's a transphobic comment. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 17:15, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

It's now gone. Considered blocking the IP but it looks like they've already moved on. Anarchyte (talk) 04:11, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
A derogatory slur against Polish people. Would you mind? soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 14:25, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
Because it's from May 2020, I've revdel'd the addition and deletion and left the intermediary edits. This should be enough. Anarchyte (talk) 07:34, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
Hi Anarchyte, is it possible for you to revdel old revisions of my userpage? I've mentioned people by name from over 15 years ago, people I don't talk to anymore for whatever reason. With privacy and stuff, I don't think it's okay to have their names up there still. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 21:30, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
Not sure if it's worth revdel'ing, but with this edit that user suggests bisexuality is a mental illness. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 16:55, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
Doesn't rise to needing revdel here. Anarchyte (talk) 02:05, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
A homophobic comment, revdelicous? soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 20:26, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
I'd just call this vandalism, no need to revdel here. Anarchyte (talk) 03:47, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Regarding Ananya Chatterjee (Poet)

Dear Anarchyte, I have added more supporting references for the Wikipedia entry of Ananya Chatterjee (Poet) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ananya_Chatterjee_(Poet). I hope these will satisfy. Regards, Seeker2010 (talk) 05:57, 27 April 2023 (UTC) Seeker2010

Hi Seeker2010, thanks for the message. I can see that Umakant Bhalerao has also rejected your draft. This is because many of the sources you've provided aren't reliable or in-depth. Many of them are storefront links or excerpts from their books, which are not useful in proving notability. Unfortunately, it appears that at this time, Ananya Chatterjee is not notable enough for their own article. Anarchyte (talk) 11:12, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
But I have also provided multiple links like from The Telegraph, Outlook, Times of India, Oracle Blog, IPPL Journal, Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival website, the publishers' website, etc. which I think are all reliable. Seeker2010 (talk) 11:16, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
That's a good point, which is why I said many of them were unreliable, not all. The sources from The Telegraph and The Times of India are likely fine (I'm not too familiar with them personally to give a definitive answer). Outlook on the other hand looks unreliable, as it appears people can submit their own articles (see here). If this is self-publication, then that indicates unreliability. I note that one of the Outlook articles is just a poem excerpt. IPPL, publisher's website, etc are primary sources, which means they come directly from the party the article discusses. It could prove significance, but this isn't the same as notability. Anarchyte (talk) 11:30, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Draft:Daniel Bereznay

Hello,

I understand that there has been some discussion around whether or not Draft:Daniel Bereznay's Wikipedia page should be moved from draft to an actual page on the site. I would like to offer my perspective on this issue.If Daniel Bereznay's page meets these criteria, then there should be no reason why it cannot be moved from draft to a real Wikipedia page.

It is also worth noting that there are already pages on the site for esports drivers who are currently racing in the 2022 Formula One Esports Series grid, such as Brendon Leigh and Jarno Opmeer. These pages have primary references that are either the same or worse than those provided for Daniel Bereznay's page, yet they are still allowed to exist on the site. Therefore, it seems only fair that Daniel Bereznay's page should also be allowed to exist, provided it meets the same guidelines and standards as those pages.

In conclusion, if Daniel Bereznay's page meets Wikipedia's guidelines for accuracy, reliability, and verifiability, then there should be no reason why it cannot be moved from draft to a real Wikipedia page, particularly given the existence of similar pages for other esports drivers.

Thanks in advance! Tamás Szüts (talk) 13:12, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Tamás Szüts, thanks for reaching out. Draft:Daniel Bereznay was rejected because the references inside the draft were primarily citing primary sources, which don't typically help in establishing notability. He may be notable, though you will need to provide reliable sources to prove this. As for the existence of other articles, please see the essay called WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Basically, just because one article exists does not mean something else should. We are reviewing Draft:Daniel Bereznay on its own merits; whether Jarno Opmeer has an article is immaterial. Anarchyte (talk) 13:40, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
Thank you User:Anarchyte!
Would you be able to write some examples on how I could improve the citations for the Draft:Daniel Bereznay? I have used Brendon Leigh and Jarno Opmeer sites as standard of which sites I can take into citations and tried to improve the citations in the Draft:Daniel Bereznay. I have the citations from the official sites of McLaren, Mercedes-Benz in Formula One and motorsport.com. They are way better sites than, what is located on the Brendon Leigh and Jarno Opmeer sites. Tamás Szüts (talk) 14:06, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
@Tamás Szüts: Motorsport.com should be fine (I've seen it used in Featured and Good Articles in the past), but official sites are primary and discouraged for establishing notability. Try to find news articles from independent and reliable sources. For examples of how we classify sources as reliable, have a read of WP:RS and look at the examples of different website classifications on WP:RSP. Anarchyte (talk) 14:25, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
Thank you! I give it a try! Tamás Szüts (talk) 14:27, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Greetings. Saw that you declined the PP request on this article, as "content dispute". Not sure I understand. WP:VERIFY and WP:BURDEN are policies, hence this isn't really a content dispute. Onel5969 TT me 21:57, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

That is true, but protection still didn't appear to be necessary after one reversion. I didn't notice at the time that the article had already been moved to draft in the past. Protection also wouldn't resolve the issue unless full prot was used; the editor that restored the article has EC. I've restored the redirect. Anarchyte (talk) 05:25, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
And they've reverted your redirect. Onel5969 TT me 09:00, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
Yep. Did some digging and found this wasn't the first time they've done this and they've been blocked in the past for similar behaviour. I've started an ANI thread. Anarchyte (talk) 09:22, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – June 2023

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
  • As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

  • Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

  • The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.

Protection on Lil Peep's article

Heya

You protected Lil Peep's article back in Feb. 2018. This was just a couple of months after his death, which I assume was the reason for the persistent vandalism. I noticed this because I wanted to fix some minor spelling/grammar problems. Since it's been 5 years, could you lift the protection again? Thanks. Peculiarmoc (talk) 22:24, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
