A barnstar for you![edit]

The Original Barnstar
I really appreciate the work you been doing to reduce the Gender Gap on Wikipedia. Satdeep Gill (talkcontribs 06:24, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any comment regarding the above report? Also, why do you say you've been on Wikipedia since 2014 on your userpage? Technically, you've been registered since 2010, but your first edit wasn't until April 23, 2016. The statement is at best misleading.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:49, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Bbb23: I have put a clarification on the said page. I edited first on Wikipedia in 2014, but lost that account's credentials. This account was made in 2016. Have edited my userpage to reflect that. --Japleenpasricha (talk) 05:51, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Two follow-up questions based on your comments at the report. First, there are other editors I found when checking besides the ones listed on the report. Do you know all the participants? Second, of all the users, one, Shagun95, appears to be identical to your account. Did you create Shagun95?--Bbb23 (talk) 14:05, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Bbb23: Yes, I know all the participants. Shagun95 is not my account, she is my colleague and one of the participants at the Editathon. --Japleenpasricha (talk) 14:23, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Bbb23:, this is to inform you that I'm holding a Wikipedia Editathon today (we do these monthly) and there will be new editors and new articles created as well as existing ones elaborated. Informing you in advance so that a situation like last time does not arise. Thank you. --Japleenpasricha (talk) 05:30, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your recently moved pages[edit]

You have recently moved a large number of inappropriate pages into mainspace. From your previous conversation here, it looks like they were from an editathon. You moved them with the edit summary "draft is ready". In most cases, no, they're not. Many of the articles don't contain sufficient referencing to demonstrate notability, and most of them take a promotional tone with a lot of unnecessary fluff and adjectives, rather than the required neutral tone sticking strictly to facts supported by references. A lot of them also use extremely poor grammar and spelling, some to the point that it makes them hard to read.

I appreciate your good intentions, so I will give you some time to move any articles you believe are salvageable back to drafts. For any that will remain in mainspace, I will review the rest. Most qualify for speedy deletion of one form or another. But while I appreciate your good intents, as above, you clearly do not have the judgment to determine when an article is ready to be in mainspace. Next time, rather than moving a large number of articles yourself, please have your participants create drafts and submit them for review to articles for creation. The first time is an honest mistake, but a repeated instance of this would be grounds for a block. Seraphimblade Talk to me 17:46, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone through them. A couple are in decent shape, but the majority were not. Some were promotional, and while I could've G11'd them, I moved them back to draft instead. They'll need the fluff language and excessive detail toned down before returning to mainspace. Some will also need a check to ensure that their references are reliable, especially given that they're biographies of living people. However, several were mostly or entirely just copies of existing material, with at most a single word changed here or there. It's a common mistake new editors make, so please, when working with new editors, check for copyright violations and extremely close paraphrasing. Those I'm afraid there's no choice on; copyvios must be deleted. Seraphimblade Talk to me 18:16, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Seraphimblade: Thank you for your message. As you must have seen from my profile, I run a feminist civil society organisation and conduct regular Wikipedia editathons to help close the systemic gender gap, hence I can assure you that the articles created are not advertisements or paid content. I have worked on some articles and will work on the rest you mentioned, but I need some time. I'd request you not to delete any article or block any user. I'm trying to create a community of women editors in India and this then discourages them not to edit on Wikipedia. Thank you for your understanding. Japleenpasricha (talk) 04:09, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to block anyone in this instance. Like I said, I appreciate your intents. I moved the promotional articles back to drafts. They could have been defensibly deleted under G11, but if you're actively working on them, I'd rather give a chance to do that. The copyright violations, though, I'm afraid are non negotiable. Both I and other admins had to delete several articles for that reason. We cannot and will not knowingly host material that violates copyright anywhere on Wikipedia. However, and I'm afraid I'll be quite honest here, you exercised very poor judgment in moving many of these articles to mainspace that contained promotional material and/or violations of copyright, and when you do so, you take responsibility for the articles you put there. That's why I asked that in the future you have participants at editing sessions submit articles for review by experienced AFC reviewers rather than trying to do it yourself. Seraphimblade Talk to me 05:36, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest. There's a new bonus prize of $200 worth of books of your choice to win for creating the most new women biographies between 0:00 on the 26th and 23:59 on 30th November. If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!

Copyright infringement[edit]

I can see that you are a newish editor, but you need to know that Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously. You must not copy and paste text from sources you find on the web into articles as you did in the article Atri Kar. I have removed the infringing text, but the material you copied is subject to copyright, as is almost everything on the web, and when creating or expanding articles, you should completely rewrite the information from the source using your own words. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:01, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Cwmhiraeth: Apologies, I will be more careful in future. Thank you. Japleenpasricha (talk) 07:42, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
