Sairam

You protected the redirect Sairam in 2014. Could I trouble you to tag it as {{R from other spelling}} {{R from ambiguous term|printworthy}}? Narky Blert (talk) 16:20, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Zhong Fong

Hi Bearcat, One of my non-film articles, a character article (i.e. Literature) has been turned into a redirect to the author's page (David Rotenberg) by Onel, the editor who seconded Viztor's AfD of One Night. Does he really have the authority to do that without any discussion whatsoever in the process of reviewing the article. His justification was that the subject had no "real world notability". I have never read the novels in questions (five in a series, plus one appearance as a cameo in another novel by the same author) so all of my sources were secondary, and there must have been enough RS--at the very least he could have put a tag on saying requires more this or that. This is worse than speedy deletion. Long and short of it, how do I appeal this unilateral decision? ZarhanFastfire (talk) 20:32, 22 November 2019 (UTC) I have left a message on Onel's page politely asking him to restore the page so that there can at least be a discussion.ZarhanFastfire (talk) 23:10, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

I understand what you're saying, and as I said to Onel on his talk page, I'd have been open to advice e.g. changing the article into a series article so that it's more about the work than the character (I debated with myself on that point, and yes, I can see now I may have erred that way). The point is, all that work is basically gone. I can't remake the article as a series article if I can't access it. You can't assess it to agree/disagree if it's already gone. Or am I missing something? It seems to me this process puts the cart before the horse.ZarhanFastfire (talk) 23:39, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Article now re-created as Zhong Fong (novel series), which Onel has already reviewed. ZarhanFastfire (talk) 16:46, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Jason Mojica

Hey there. I saw that you deleted the page I created due to "improper cut-paste of a draft submission that's still pending AFC review." However, I submitted that draft before realizing that I was allowed to publish straight away. There was no way (that I could figure out) to go back and delete the draft. Are you able to un-delete the page, especially considering it already had additional contributions from others in the community?

Thanks,

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Hi Bearcat. Just curious if you think this edit is correct. I did it per MOS:BOLD but then noticed you were the page creator. Let me know. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 06:54, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Firdaus Kharas wiki

Hello Bearcat. I've just seen that you propose to delete my entry on Firdaus Kharas and am trying to understand why. While it does biographically explain Kharas in the way many Wikipedia entries do for other humanitarians, my entry has an academic-paper source and several highly reliable media sources. I believe it is objective and relates a very neutral point of view. I am thinking that the list of his projects and awards in the entry may seem a bit too self-promoting and perhaps should be removed. I'm looking for your advice on this and any other changes you think may be necessary. Thanks for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinlev (talk • contribs) 17:50, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

"Ivan, Ontario" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Ivan, Ontario. Since you had some involvement with the Ivan, Ontario redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 20:11, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

CJFR

I found CJFR radio station by viewing some of the Manitoba Stub articles (2,100+), as wanting to find more articles from Manitoba that can be raised from Stub to Start. I don't know how to delete an article, just to tag them if they're not notable. Jimj wpg (talk) 20:39, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Paid editing

Hello sir, I am contributing and reviewing Wikipedia under guidelines and policies for a couple of years and I wanted to ask you this anonymously. I was very curious and had a few questions and haven't got answered for those yet. I have not edited Wikipedia by getting payment from someone yet, but I have seen a few editors, you can say many editors who are editing by getting payments. And I also reported a few of them and put "Undisclosed paid" tag on a few. But my questions are still un-answered and I haven't even asked anyone yet. First I belong to a poor family and I need to start paid editing on Wikipedia, so I need guidance from you. What should I do, when I don't have any other skills to do? I can assure that I will never ever edit Wikipedia out of its guidelines and policies. But I had to get permission and answers before starting that.

I saw a few articles which were tagged by "Undisclosed paid" template, but I saw that they were poorly written and I wanted to help those articles by rewriting and cleaning-up to comply with policies. But I got afraid that the admins or reviewers will doubt me as one of the paid editors. So I wanted to ask, what should someone do with those tags? Can we remove that tag after cleanup the article If we can?

And what if someone is paid editing and do not undisclosed it? And what if the editor undisclosed those editing then the tag will remove or not? And what if the editor has written a article with Wikipedia policies but it was undisclosed paid editing, what will happen? And what is the method to fix that?

I know Wikipedia doesn't support paid editing and I am also against it but what if someone like me is forced by the society and financial issues to edit by paying? I just want to get answers for these and I will try to follow as I always do. And I wonder what if I wanted to help with removing the tags from Category:Wikipedia articles with undisclosed paid content? I know people are using Wikipedia as advertising and I am very against them. But what if a company, software, game, or a person's article comply every Wikipedia policies but it is tagged with "Undisclosed paid", what should we do?

I recently tried to fix the issues same with Desiree Gruber, I rewrite the article and remove the tag but a user put the tag back. What I do sir? Undisclosed paid editing is already on talk page. What more? --RockEditorLikeMe (talk) 13:20, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
