Hanja Kochansky

Hi, you reverted my changes to Hanja Kochansky's article because I didn't cite them. The changes were accurate though - she was a personal friend and she died on 10 January 2022. I can't find an online source to verify that though. Visit www.fictionontheweb.co.uk! (talk) 09:11, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

@Getareaction, we must not add death information unless it has been confirmed by a reliable source. Your addition was completely unsourced, which is why I reverted it. The link you provided has no information about her.

If you are a personal friend of hers and have evidence to confirm her death, you can contact the team of volunteers at info-en-q@wikimedia.org, providing a link to the page and details of the problem. Please refrain from sending any private information unless they specifically request it. – DreamRimmer (talk) 09:50, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Review request

Dear DreamRimmer, Hello, I recently created an article releated to WP:NPOL of Uttar Pradesh and after a long wikibreak, today I've created this article, so, please review my article, if you see any probelm in my article, then ping me Thanks. ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 17:46, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello and welcome back to activity after your wikibreak. I noticed some grammar problems in this article, which I fixed and marked it as reviewed. – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:06, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

I am unable to review it because most sources are in Kannada, which I don't understand. But don't worry, it's in the queue and will be reviewed by a reviewer soon. – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:16, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

WP:APAT - Question

Dear DreamRimmer,Hello, Can get autopatrollers right here; I do not know and I'm eligible for this rigt here, I've created 50+ article, I happy to work on here but If I created any article then I waiting for review many times, I do not why I have not autopatrollers right here and I needed to only mark as autopatrolled of our newly creation article. I ask only Question but We really do not request for this right here.I do not need to obtain this right.😊~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 15:34, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

@Aviram7, the autopatrolled right is typically granted to users who consistently produce clean articles. However, upon reviewing your articles, I found many grammar mistakes. Additionally, your articles are often stubs and primarily focus on politicians, particularly MLAs, making them very easy for reviewers to assess. Nevertheless, I don't want to discourage you. If you believe there are good reasons for having this right, you can try requesting it at PERM/AP. – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:40, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Hmmm... I always focused to created good article on Wikipedia, I know I'm not a native speaker of English language but I try to rectifying my mistake again, I very well know Hindi but I like to work on enwiki; I don't think I have any reason to obtained autopatrollers rights because They are denied 2 times my request on there from two different reasons; I will happy if I obtained WP:APAT but we happy without them, I know my article creation techniques and my created article are not included in the list of good article. 😊~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 05:51, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-11

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 March. It will be on all wikis from 14 March (calendar). [1][2]
• After consulting with various communities, the line height of the text on the Minerva skin will be increased to its previous value of 1.65. Different options for typography can also be set using the options in the menu, as needed. [3]
• The active link color in Minerva will be changed to provide more consistency with our other platforms and best practices. [4]
• Structured data on Commons will no longer ask whether you want to leave the page without saving. This will prevent the “information you’ve entered may not be saved” popups from appearing when no information have been entered. It will also make file pages on Commons load faster in certain cases. However, the popups will be hidden even if information has indeed been entered. If you accidentally close the page before saving the structured data you entered, that data will be lost. [5]

Future changes

• All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on March 20. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [6][7]

Review of new page

Hello! Thank you for reviewing my new pages. Could you review my another new page Askerbii Gerbekov -- Ricco Baroni (talk) 18:39, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

@Ricco Baroni, I'm sorry, but I am unable to verify these sources, so I cannot mark it as reviewed. Whenever you have an article with English sources, feel free to ask for a review, and I would be happy to take a look. – DreamRimmer (talk) 18:54, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

alright, i will put English sources more! Sorry! Ricco Baroni (talk) 19:54, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Unsourced articles backlog tally

No big deal but it seems as if the bot did not count sources added in March. Perhaps it was programmed to disregard edit summaries tagged for FEB24 after February 29? In my case, I would have moved into the next higher category. That was not the main purpose of the drive and since it appears no one else has mentioned this, it seems of no consequence for anyone. Thanks for putting this together. I think the participants did an admirable job. It seems to me it would be difficult to find references for many of these articles, especially the stubs on obscure subjects. Some of the ones I checked certainly fall into that category. Donner60 (talk) 22:03, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

@Donner60, apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Yes, the bot counted the summary points until March 1st and the reviews until March 8th. Everyone involved did an excellent job, and your contribution to this drive was truly remarkable. I want to extend my thanks once again for joining in and helping to make this drive a success. – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:34, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

• Proposal 2, initiated by HouseBlaster, provides for the addition of a text box at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
• Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by Barkeep49 and Usedtobecool, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
• Proposal 5, initiated by SilkTork, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
• Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by BilledMammal, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
• Proposal 7, initiated by Lee Vilenski, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
• Proposal 9b, initiated by Reaper Eternal, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
• Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by City of Silver, Ritchie333, and HouseBlaster, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
• Proposal 13, initiated by Novem Lingaue, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
• Proposal 14, initiated by Kusma, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
• Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by Thebiguglyalien and Soni, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
• Proposal 16e, initiated by BilledMammal, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
• Proposal 17, initiated by SchroCat, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
• Proposal 18, initiated by theleekycauldron, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
• Proposal 24, initiated by SportingFlyer, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
• Proposal 25, initiated by Femke, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
• Proposal 27, initiated by WereSpielChequers, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
• Proposal 28, initiated by HouseBlaster, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

@XEditKingTekker, Welcome to Wikipedia! You can view all your contributions here. If you want to confirm whether your contributions are still present, you can review each edit separately or just look for any Reverted tags. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:26, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from DhaferYoussefOfficial (16:02, 14 March 2024)

Dear DreamRimmer,

I am writing to introduce myself and the purpose of the creation of my account. I hope you are doing great!

I'm Dhafer Youssef, Vocalist and Oud player who would love to update his artist profile on Wikipedia.

To start with, I'd like to update the main picture of my profil and then update the biography, enrich my discography, add the prizes I won, add the collaborations I made...

Could you please advise about the main picture update? It seems that I'm not allowed to do it.

All the best, Dhafer --DhaferYoussefOfficial (talk) 16:02, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia isn't meant for posting artist profiles like other music streaming services do, and creating autobiographies on Wikipedia is discouraged. Please read WP:AUTOBIO for detailed information on why you shouldn't create one. Also, if you're notable, there's no need to worry; someone will likely create an article for you at some point. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:20, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Courtesy link Dhafer Youssef - FlightTime (open channel) 16:28, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

@DhaferYoussefOfficial, I noticed there is already an article about you on Wikipedia. Since another user sent you a conflict of interest note, please read it and disclose your COI on your talk page and on the article's talk page. Instead of directly editing the article, please make edit requests on the talk page of the article. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:36, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Ah sorry I just saw your messages after directly editing it... I didn't get how it worked.

Thanks for explaining.

I'm not sure to understand how to declare a COI? Should I just write it in the first place on the talk page? DhaferYoussefOfficial (talk) 21:51, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Also use {{edit COI}} - FlightTime (open channel) 22:04, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi - you removed my question to a responding admin after a little over 24 hours - is that the threshold for stale? The admin (@Secretlondon:) who initially responded to my report has not edited since I posed a follow up question. I am genuinely trying to understand why the username should not be considered "blatantly violent". Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 12:47, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

@Goldsztajn, your request wasn't removed as stale, but it was taken down because Euryalus declined it. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:55, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Apologies, between my question and your edit, I did not see the response. I'll ask Euryalus. Many thanks, Goldsztajn (talk) 13:29, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Review Request

Hi. Hope you are doing well. Two of my last articles: Pariah (2024 film) and Mirza: Part 1 - Joker don't show up their Wikipedia pages when I search them on Google. These are the two articles which I created by myself without submitting it for a review. I think this is happening because the pages have not been reviewed. I guess it was my mistake to not mark the pages for a review. I will do that from the next cases.

So will you kindly review these 2 movie pages and take the necessary steps as required.

Thanks BhikhariInformer (talk) 02:29, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Kannum Kannum Kollaiyadithaal

Just wanted to let you know that in the GA accepted version one half of an image was cut off the page [21] and the image was drastically huge. Is the image even needed when the production section is so short?

Also, the lead was full of references. Why was none of this addressed? DareshMohan (talk) 02:56, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

@DareshMohan, Thanks for the message. It's up to you to use an image in a section; I have no hard opinion on it. The article was MOS compliant, and using citations in the lead is not prohibited. – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:24, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

I'm surprised the article even passed GA. The refs are so badly formatted (such as missing website and date fields) and not all of them are even archived, thus there could be dead links. Ok the prose has no issues, but I can't fix the refs from mobile and IABot is down. DareshMohan, you got time? Kailash29792 (talk) 10:57, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

@Kailash29792, I am a little puzzled about why you are surprised the article passed GA. The reference format isn't really all that bad, and folks usually follow their preferred format. Most of the sources, I personally checked and found them to be good. You don't have to archive all the references; only the dead URLs need to be. If there happen to be any at the moment, I'd really appreciate your help with that. Also, each GA reviewer evaluates things based on their own judgment. So, if you've got any suggestions or advice for me, I'd be more than happy to hear it! – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:37, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: How do I use IA bot? DareshMohan (talk) 17:48, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

You can also check the optional add archives to non dead links checkbox too. Happy editing :) The Herald (Benison) (talk) 03:13, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi DreamRimmer and thank you for being my mentor. I want to write about a topic but found that it was in draft space, and the previous editor seems to stop editing for more than a month. Should I create my new version and submit via AFC or edti on the old draft? Looking forward to your reply. --MaximilienLuc (talk) 02:46, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hey. Yes, you can edit that draft itself and submit it for review. Just drop a message on the previous editor's talk page, just in case. If you make another submission, it will get declined per duplicate AfC submission rationale. Make sure you edit and submit it per all the guidelines of AfC. Also, if there was any old decline comments, address them too. Good luck and happy editing. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 03:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello DreamRimmer,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Request for expansion help and review of draft sources

Greetings @DreamRimmer

Hi, I am User:Bookku, On Wikipedia I engage in, finding information and knowledge gap areas in Wikipedia and promoting expansion of related drafts and articles. Came across your user profile (from WT:ICTF ).

Requesting your visit to My Choice (2015 film) (still a draft in my userspace). As per my initial visit to visit WP:ICTF, WP:ICTFFAQ, WP:ICTFSOURCES I did not find any contentious news site issues but just came across a discussion initiated by you at WT:ICTF

It was a feminist short film which was covered by media due to some controversial feminist aspects so it's unlikely to be case of paid news. But still I request your visit to the draft My Choice (2015 film) and help evaluate sources and let me know if you think any of collated news pieces have any thing doubtful.

Please note usually I do not edit film related articles and keeping up to date on related discussions would remain difficult for me. So detail proactive contribution from users active in film topic area would be of help.

Also help expand the topic areas if you find topic interesting. Wish you very happy Wikipedia editing.

Thanks and warm regards

Bookku (talk) 11:42, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the message. I'll check it out later and get back to you. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:01, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Shall wait for you thanks. Bookku (talk) 16:22, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Hindustan Times 1

I thought I write down difficulty on hand vis a vis WT:ICTF#Hindustan Times otherwise I will forget later. You may take call on the same as and when you get time.

For the draft My Choice (2015 film) Hindustan Times article Sorry Deepika Padukone, these are not the choices women need by ByJyoti Sharma Bawa, New Delhi is very very highly critical of the short film. I doubt any one will pay for criticism having such level of ideological opposition. As such this article does not have any disclaimer and has an author as you said. But a general advert iphone 15 is appearing before me - but I do not see any prima facie relation of I phone brand with the short film. So I just wish to confirm this want to confirm this won't be considered publishing paid brand post.

You can look into it as and when you get time and give your feed back.

Bookku (talk) 10:36, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Hindustan Times 2

Short film production related couple of detail seem clearer in following news piece like Deepika Padukone's role in short film is limited to "She bookends the film and is also giving the voice over". Which can be confirmed directly with Short film You tube link. Other couple of news articles in other sources are as if she is doing a lead role in short film but that is not so. Hence I would prefer to use this news piece if I get your concurrence. Shah, Jigar (14 December 2014). "After hits like Cocktail and Finding Fanny, Deepika-Homi join hands for a cause". Hindustan Times. Retrieved 2 December 2023.

Request

Hi DreamRimmer! Would you be able to help a mentee with a question they asked in Hindi at my talk page? I don't speak Hindi, and I would rather not rely on Google Translate to have a conversation. I imagine the best thing to do would be to direct them to hiwiki? (I got your name from WP:EMB.) Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 17:33, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

@HouseBlaster, thanks for giving me the opportunity to assist. I've responded to that message  :) – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:46, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

And thank you for doing so! HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 17:48, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Re: My Usurpation Request

Hello @DreamRimmer (sorry for taking this to your user page), but when I am well established enough, do I request another usurpation?
P.S. referencing this. LunaticBFF58 (talk) 05:16, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

@LunaticBFF58, your request was recently declined, so I don't think submitting a new one would be helpful. I've already explained the next steps, but if you feel you're eligible, please reach out to other renamers who handle requests on that page. – DreamRimmer (talk) 05:23, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Do I just submit another one (in a year or so) or do I reach out (on their talk page) to other renamers that have dealt with other usurpation requests? LunaticBFF58 (talk) 05:27, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Oh, I misunderstood your initial message. Yes, you can submit another usurpation request after a few months once your account is well-established (eg. 2-3 months of editing and 400+ edits). – DreamRimmer (talk) 05:35, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the infomation. :) LunaticBFF58 (talk) 12:01, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-15

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Web browsers can use tools called extensions. There is now a Chrome extension called Citation Needed which you can use to see if an online statement is supported by a Wikipedia article. This is a small experiment to see if Wikipedia can be used this way. Because it is a small experiment, it can only be used in Chrome in English.
• A new Edit Recovery feature has been added to all wikis, available as a user preference. Once you enable it, your in-progress edits will be stored in your web browser, and if you accidentally close an editing window or your browser or computer crashes, you will be prompted to recover the unpublished text. Please leave any feedback on the project talk page. This was the #8 wish in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey.
• Initial results of Edit check experiments have been published. Edit Check is now deployed as a default feature at the wikis that tested it. Let us know if you want your wiki to be part of the next deployment of Edit check. [25][26]
• Readers using the Minerva skin on mobile will notice there has been an improvement in the line height across all typography settings. [27]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 April. It will be on all wikis from 11 April (calendar). [28][29]
• New accounts and logged-out users will get the visual editor as their default editor on mobile. This deployment is made at all wikis except for the English Wikipedia. [30]

85 tiny edits very quickly

[31] In a rush for something? Tempted to block frankly for disruptive editing, but probably won't. Doug Weller talk 15:47, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

@Doug Weller, yes, this is disruptive. They are action-blocked from moving pages and files. I don't think they are taking this encyclopedia seriously. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:58, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Would you object to an indefinite block? Doug Weller talk 16:00, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

No, they have received enough warnings, yet their behavior clearly indicates they are NOTHERE. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:07, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Blocked. They then made similar edits to:their signature and I’ve rarely seen such odd unblock request. More time wasting. Doug Weller talk 19:21, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

(: – DreamRimmer (talk) 10:27, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello DreamRimmer.

I am new to this Online encyclopedia, (not new to html), So do you know how to create a page? I am currently trying to make a article on the Kuku malware, as i was affected by it, and there is no article on it already. ColourMaster16 (talk) 23:26, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

@ColourMaster16, welcome to Wikipedia! Please take a moment to read Help:Your first article for guidance on creating an article. Its simple wording would be very helpful to you. – DreamRimmer (talk) 10:46, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

CHU/S query

Hey, I posted a query at this request, since the requestor's rename reason covers the concern I had, do you think in a day or so, go head and process the request anyway? - FlightTime (open channel) 19:54, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

@FlightTime, you can proceed with the rename as there is no reason for us to decline it. Also, one suggestion for you: If the requested username is their real name, there's no need to seek their confirmation. Just go ahead and process the request. The instructions at the top of the request page and edit notice clearly warn them with the following note when they request a rename: Please understand the implications of using your real name before requesting a name change to it. – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:51, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-16

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

• Between 2 April and 8 April, on wikis using Flagged Revisions, the "Reverted" tag was not applied to undone edits. In addition, page moves, protections and imports were not autoreviewed. This problem is now fixed. [32][33]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 April. It will be on all wikis from 18 April (calendar). [34][35]
• Default category sort keys will now affect categories added by templates placed in footnotes. Previously footnotes used the page title as the default sort key even if a different default sort key was specified (category-specific sort keys already worked). [36]
• A new variable page_last_edit_age will be added to abuse filters. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made. [37]

Future changes

• Volunteer developers are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. Learn more.
• Four database fields will be removed from database replicas (including Quarry). This affects only the abuse_filter and abuse_filter_history tables. Some queries might need to be updated. [38]

Question from Hypersuperultra on List of Tales of Arcadia characters (04:20, 17 April 2024)

Hello, just wanted to ask what about this specifically is in-universe? I have a few ideas such as eliminating extra unnecessary pieces of lore but I'm not sure what else or if that's too much and I'm going overboard --Hypersuperultra (talk) 04:20, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Review Request

Hi Sir. Hope you are doing well. Can you please review my recent page Alaap (2024 film).

Thanks

BhikhariInformer (talk) 14:01, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

@BhikhariInformer, I don't think this film meets NFF criteria, so I can only review it after its release. – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:48, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Okay.

Draft Review

Please Review my draft Draft:Amit Pachori (actor) please give your opinion Thanks in advance. 2409:4071:D8B:767F:0:0:EFC8:670C (talk) 15:03, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

It appears notable under the WP:NACTOR criteria, but there are many unsourced credits in the filmography section. Please add reliable sources for them or remove them if you are unable to find sources. Once that's taken care of, I'd be more than happy to accept this submission. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:02, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Many Unsourced credits have been removed; some credits have Wikipedia pages, so they were not removed. 2409:4071:D1D:92DE:0:0:EF88:D501 (talk) 14:07, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Done – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:26, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
