LuK3, then please make a new table counter for senior snooker tournament wins, I do not see how a player after retiring can still add titles to their professional non-ranking wins, while those tournaments are participated by amateurs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.166.127.90 (talk) 14:02, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hello, I do not know much about snooker. However, if you want to discuss a new table, I would suggest taking it to the talk page and request it to be created for you. -- LuK3 (Talk) 15:32, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
- I've checked the talk page for Jimmy White, everything seems to be from years ago so I figured nobody would see what I write on the talk page, so I wanted to get the attention of those who cares by editing the main page, maybe they could make sense of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.166.127.90 (talk) 01:24, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing the edit of 103.134.43.219. This user is adding slang words and hateful comments on Maria Nur Rowshon's page. Is there any way to stop him/her to edit this page? --Nahid Hossain (talk) 15:31, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for your note. If they continue to vandalize the article, you can report the IP to WP:AIV so an admin can block them. Thanks! -- LuK3 (Talk) 16:09, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019
Hello LuK3,
- Backlog
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
- Coordinator
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
- This month's refresher course
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
- Deletion tags
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
- Paid editing
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
- Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
- Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
- Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.
- Not English
- A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.
- Tools
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.
DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

September 2019
Your recent contributions at User talk:86.132.105.99 appear to show that you are engaged in edit warring; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not override another editor's contributions. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
The user is allowed to remove the warnings, see WP:BLANKING. You should not keep reverting his blanking, see WP:Don't restore removed comments. David Biddulph (talk) 15:46, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
- David Biddulph, I appreciate the warning. It was my assumption that, according to WP:3RRNO, talk page and warning blanking by a blocked IP would constitute obvious vandalism. -- LuK3 (Talk) 16:07, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

I saw that you placed a protected icon on the page but I don't see where anyone actually protected it. Is it semi-protected? Dharmalion76 (talk) 20:20, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

- @Dharmalion76: From what I gather from the protection log, I believe auto-accept is still in effect for autoconfirmed so any editor below still needs their edits approved. -- LuK3 (Talk) 20:34, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Marc Morano wiki page
You have allowed multiple leftwing talking points, unsupported by facts to remain on the Marc Morano page; despite your claim that Wiki tries to keep information on its pages neutral. Allowing statements such as "climate denier" and "pseudoscience" in describing Mr. Morano and his positions to remain on the page clearly demonstrates Wiki's leftwing bias. You're supposed to be providing an encyclopedia-like format; not one for leftwing activists to insert their opinions as is clearly being done on the Marc Morano page. And I have no affiliation with Mr. Morano whatsoever.
As an example and from the page:
Marc Morano (born 1968)[1] is a former Republican political aide who founded and runs the website ClimateDepot.com, which presents pseudoscientific views on climate change.[2][3] ClimateDepot is a project of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), a Washington, D.C. non-profit that promotes climate change denial.[4][5]
If you truly adhered to an encyclopedia format, then all that should be allowed in that sentence is:
Marc Morano (born 1968)[1] is a former Republican political aide who founded and runs the website ClimateDepot.com.
But due to your obvious leftwing bias, you have allowed statements such as "which presents pseudoscientific views on climate change." and "non-profit that promotes climate change denial." to remain.
Those statements are opinions; they are not facts. Why not allow facts such as THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS HUMAN-CAUSED CLIMATE CHANGE to be posted? I'll tell you why...because Wiki is run by a bunch of leftwing lunatics who pretend to be neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JustTheFactsAndNothingButTheFacts (talk • contribs) 23:50, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
- @JustTheFactsAndNothingButTheFacts: I suggest taking this issue to the article talk page and discuss your proposed changes. I also suggest maintaining civility and stop with the personal attacks. -- LuK3 (Talk) 23:59, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

I suggest reading our page on inline citations to help you in adding a citation. If you need any more help please let me know! -- LuK3 (Talk) 21:43, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Karl Pilkington Birthdate
Hi, why are you reverting edits providing Karl Pilkington’d birthdate? ArthurWithCommonSense (talk) 22:54, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
- @ArthurWithCommonSense: IMDB is not considered a reliable source, according to Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites#IMDb. In addition it looks like you are evading a block. -- LuK3 (Talk) 22:59, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
@Luk3: Hi, Luk. First off, I haven’t got a clue of what you’re talking about. I am not evading any blocks. Secondly, if you skip to the 1:20 mark on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjvWVYlhH8k, you will see that Karl himself claims to share a birthdate with Bruce Springsteen (who was born on the 23 of September). Now, I’m not an expert, but I believe Karl would know when his own date of birth is. What do you think?
Welcoming new users
Hi. You are doing a great job reverting vandalism, but you sometimes miss some. Before welcoming new users, please consider taking a few moments to investigate if they are truly deserving of a welcome. 1 edit is not enough for a welcome, and vandals should be reported rather than thanking them for their edits. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:01, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hello Kudpung, hope all is well. Thank you for the note. It is a force a habit to throw a welcome up on their talk page but I will be more diligent moving forward. Thank you again! -- LuK3 (Talk) 11:58, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

What the Health page has been vandalised and you are allowing it
Please stop undoing my constructive edits. I am trying to restore the page. It has clearly been edited as someone labelled the film as an "agenda" and is citing only criticism against the film instead of the multiple doctors who praise the film and the hundreds of scientific journals backing it.

https://www.whatthehealthfilm.com/facts — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.57.138.108 (talk) 02:40, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Your edits here and here violates Wikipedia's policy on adhering to a neutral point of view and original research. In addition, you accused me of an "anti-vegan agenda", according to your edit summary. That is why your edits were reverted and warned. -- LuK3 (Talk) 02:45, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm CASSIOPEIA. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to UFC 243— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 02:43, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
- CASSIOPEIA, looks like you warned the wrong editor. My only edit on that article was a vandalism revert. -- LuK3 (Talk) 02:47, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
- Hi LuK3, I am so sorry. The message above was not for you but for other editor. Somehow, either I click the wrong line or Huggle did pick up the line I placed (it happened a number of times before). Either way, mistakes is all mine. My apologies again. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 04:47, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
What the Health page has been vandalised and you are allowing it
I didn't accuse you of an anti-vegan agenda, obviously - I was referring to the person who made the original edits. That should be obvious. LOOK at the What the Health page, someone has made a total disgrace of it and you are allowing it by reversing my edits - if Wikipedia's rules call for neutrality, then claiming that What the Health promotes a "vegan agenda" and going on about how it has only been criticized without offer the alternative viewpoints where many physicians praised the film and responded to criticism, that to me is not neutral, that is unabashedly anti-vegan, which again you are allowing.
Please respond to this, and either restore the page to its ORIGINAL state, or I will request a 3rd party.
This is the vandalized state you are allowing:
"What the Health is a 2017 film promoting a vegan agenda.[1]
The documentary has been criticized by a number of medical doctors,[2][3] dietitians,[4][5][6] and investigative journalists[7][8] for what they describe as confusing causation with correlation, cherry picking science studies, using biased sources, distorting study findings, and using "weak-to-non-existent data"." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.57.138.108 (talk) 03:02, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
- After looking through the page history, I have re-added the previous neutral lede. However, if you do re-add your own views, it will get reverted. Thank you. -- LuK3 (Talk) 03:08, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

- Hello Frankerthebest, according to Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, you as the creator of the two articles cannot remove the speedy deletion template. You have to include a credible claim of significance or else it will be deleted. I suggest reading Wikipedia's notability guidelines. -- LuK3 (Talk) 12:37, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Richard Pan vandalization
HI - saw you reverted some recent vandalization to Richard Pan's page - I'm a newish editor and unsure how to add to the biographies of living persons noticeboard about the repeat vandalization? I appreciate your knowledge & experience!
- Hello Kestrien, thank you for the note! I see you did undo that vandalism edit over at Richard Pan and warned that IP. Usually if they do continue with vandalism, I report them to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. WP:BLPN is more reserved for chronic and ongoing issues with BLP articles. For reporting vandals and spammers to the vandalism noticeboard, you can read Wikipedia:Guide to administrator intervention against vandalism.
- If you do want to get more into anti-vandalism work, I would highly suggest looking to tools like Twinkle or Huggle to help you with your vandalism fight. These tools can help you revert edits, warn editors, and tagging articles, among other uses. My talk page is alwaya open if you do have a question. Thanks! -- LuK3 (Talk) 21:54, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
New Page Review newsletter November 2019
Hello LuK3,
This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
- Getting the queue to 0
There are now 815 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards.
- Coordinator
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
- This month's refresher course
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
- Tools
- It is now possible to select new pages by date range. This was requested by reviewers who want to patrol from the middle of the list.
- It is now also possible for accredited reviewers to put any article back into the New Pages Feed for re-review. The link is under 'Tools' in the side bar.
- Reviewer Feedback
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
- Second set of eyes
- Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work, especially while some routine tagging for deletion can still be carried out by non NPR holders and inexperienced users. Read about it at the Monitoring the system section in the tutorial. If you come across such editors doing good work, don't hesitate to encourage them to apply for NPR.
- Do be sure to have our talk page on your watchlist. There are often items that require reviewers' special attention, such as to watch out for pages by known socks or disruptive editors, technical issues and new developments, and of course to provide advice for other reviewers.
- Arbitration Committee
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
- Community Wish list
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

Not publishing creators Patreon page
I was just editing a biography of a pro wrestler named Katarina Waters and I was told it didn't follow the guidelines. Why is this because the individual owns this particular page and is referenced via social media. Roddie83 (talk) 01:16, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
- Hello Roddie83, I removed the Patreon link because we don't usually include crowdsourcing-related sites, see Wikipedia:External links#Links_normally to be avoided. In addition, the placement of external links should not be in the body of the article but in its separate section. Please let me know if you have any more questions. -- LuK3 (Talk) 01:28, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
If that's the case, you include links for websites and publications that are crowd funding pages such as, on a subscription basis. Plus wikipedia itself includes crowd sources in terms of fiance's. Including an individuals Patreon pages should be related to such standards. Roddie83 (talk) 01:54, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

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!
Marcus Schrenker Page
Hi LuK3. I took the time to research the Marcus Schrenker page in depth and I want to comment regarding the accuracy of the page. There are so many inaccuracies that it is tough to even know where to start. I work in the criminal justice field and have learned to never rely on the media for an accurate story. I actually went into court documents and state records and discovered that the article actually has a lot wrong. I went through the trouble of correcting the inaccuracies and you basically moved it back to the inaccurate state? Let me give you a few glaring examples. For example, the article states that Schrenker was released from Florida Federal Parole. Parole was abolished on the Federal level in the 80s. Another example is his wife, his date of birth, his children. What is he doing now? It appears this is a static article about the past and an inaccurate one at that. Another example of an inaccuracy. It states His house in Indianapolis. Or, it states his aircraft. This is not true. When I researched the home in Indianapolis he wasn't an owner. In fact, at the time he lived in Florida. If you research the title of the home you will see his name wasn't on it. The aircraft he flew was owned by Heritage Aircraft LLC of which he wasn't a shareholder. I obtained these records by examining the Delaware corporate records. My point is this: If we aren't going to tell a true and dynamic story then this page just needs to be deleted. If the people that have authored it want to use it as a mud slinging event, or a hate blog, then this isn't the place for it. It needs to be fair and objective; dynamic and truthful. Stating that he is most known for something is opinion, not fact, and doesn't adhere to the Wikipedia biography guidelines. Schrenker is actually known for doing quite a bit after his downfall which you can read about on line. Another glaring issue. James Marc Schrenker (Tennessee) is a doctor and is not Marcus Schrenker. He goes by Marc and I think the authors of the redirect got it confused. Marc Schrenker is not Marcus Schrenker. Just my observations. I'm am frustrated with this page and feel that if we can't be fair and objective then maybe just delete it. It seems an issue of contention.

Hi there....
I apologize for not getting the reference. And I hope that I am leaving you a message in an appropriate way. I am experiencing a 'blacklisted' website, so I need to investigate how to reference what is actually happening in real time. Also, can I use Wikipedia as a reference? This is Jsolensky, btw
- Hello Jsolensky and thank you for the note. Your link might match a link on the spam blacklist. Your edits have to include a reliable source that is independent of the subject. For example, news channel CNN publishes a store of a Change.org petition would be considered a reliable source. Let me know if you have any other questions. -- LuK3 (Talk) 18:16, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
Rabbids Invasion is a Nick Animation Studio production
The video I posted is proof to Rabbids invasion being made by Nick Animation Studio. Yet everytime I add the series to the show page it gets deleted.

I have sent you a note about a page you started
Hello, LuK3
Thank you for creating California Senate Bill 206.
User:Doomsdayer520, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:
Thank you for this new article. However I wonder if the article's title should be changed to "Fair Pay to Play Act" since it has now been signed into law and is no longer an obscure senate bill. This is the pattern for most articles on laws/acts/statutes in Wikipedia.

- @LuK3: - Due to an old redirect sitting in the background, I was unable to do a simple "move" of the article's title, but have made a request to the tech team. It should be complete pretty soon. Thanks again for the new article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:58, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
New Page Review newsletter December 2019
- Reviewer of the Year
This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

- Redirect autopatrol
A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
- Source Guide Discussion
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
- This month's refresher course
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020
Hello LuK3,
- Source Guide Discussion
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
- Redirects
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
- Discussions and Resources
- There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
- A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
- A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
- A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.
- Refresher
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Mistake on revert
Hi LuK3,
I think you made a mistake in reverting my edit. My original edit did indeed include a link to twitter substantiating the backlash against Radio City, but was removed by a bot. I'm going to reinstate my edit, with a citation to the relevant twitter threads. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.38.122.5 (talk) 00:33, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hello, thanks for the note. Unfortunately, Twitter is generally not used as a reliable source in articles, see WP:Twitter-EL. I would suggest looking for an article from a reputable sources, like The New York Times for example. In addition, I would suggest reading Wikipedia:Neutral point of view#Due and undue weight in regards to your edit. I don't think it is appropriate to include an entire paragraph in the lead about this claim. Perhaps a sentence would work in Radio City Music Hall#Late 20th and early 21st centuries but not in the lead. Please let me know if you have any other questions. -- LuK3 (Talk) 00:42, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- LuK3, just so you're aware, the user added the info back into the "History" section, with reliable sources as you suggested.

Hello dear Luk3
Several sources have been added to the article. Please double check if we fail to remove or remove the article. Of course, this article is still up for progress If you do, remove the delete label.
Thank You --Hesamlv (talk) 16:02, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hello Hesamlv. Those references you added seem to be primary sources, or material related closely to the event. There needs to be secondary, reliable sources about the subject to establish notability. If you feel you addressed the sourcing issues then you can remove the PROD tag. However, if you do remove the tag, the article can still be listed at WP:AFD in which the Wikipedia community will decide if the article should be kept or deleted. Please let me know if you have any more questions. -- LuK3 (Talk) 16:13, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

March 2020 edit war
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
- @Analog Horror:, please see WP:3RRNO. Obvious vandalism and BLP violations reverts would apply here. -- LuK3 (Talk) 01:47, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- And please sign your entries. -- LuK3 (Talk) 02:05, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

regarding Flume (musician) edits ??
hi LuK3, i've received a message about an edit i (supposedly) have done to the "Flume (musician)" page. i regret to inform you that i had not made any edits to that page knowingly. Until i got this message i didn't even know who Flume (musician) was. so i'm not quite sure what has happened. I'll rule out some possible scenarios to narrow down the possible sources of the problem. I live alone and so only I use all of my computer equipment. I am well out of range of any errant wifi signal, being some 1.5km from the nearest neighbour. I have knowingly only made edits to 2 pages. the first of these was to a page i can't remember and it was well over a year ago. on that occasion i simply corrected some grammar. A word had been typed twice in a row in a manner that was plainly a 'typo' so i corrected that, by deleting one of the duplicated words. the word that had been typed twice in a row was 'where'. the second time was only a couple of days ago when i was looking at a wikipedia page that listed cruise ships. at the header for one of the tables the word 'ship' had been ommitted, so i put it in. again, it was a simple grammatical oversight. I do hope this helps you track down the source of the problem. I don't have a wikipedia account. i don't see that i change enough to warrant going to that length. cheers Roland — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.126.107.185 (talk) 12:26, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hello, I wouldn't worry about the message on Flume (musician). You might of gotten a warning because your ISP assigned you another IP of someone who vandalized that page. If you don't want to receive those messages, I would highly suggest creating an account. Thank you. -- LuK3 (Talk) 12:36, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Leewills (talk) 02:57, 28 March 2020 (UTC)Just one question:
When I first started making edits, one of the first things I attempted to do was change Emilia’s profile picture to something more recent, but every time I changed it, it ended up being reverted to the 2013 picture. Apparently that’s something that needs to be discussed (which is understandable), but as I’ve said before I’m still new to this and have no idea where I’d even go to begin a discussion on the topic so I’ve decided to just leave it alone. I do find it strange that that specific image hasn’t been changed to something more recent e.g. the full- bodied image from 2019 where she attends the premiere of the final season of game of thrones or even the picture featured in the filmography section where she attends the premiere of Solo. Not trying to be a bother, I just find it interesting that an old photo is still being used as her profile picture when there are newer options that better represent where she is at this stage in her career.
Leewills (talk) 02:43, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- Leewills, there currently is a discussion regarding the infobox image at Talk:Emilia Clarke#Infobox image. Right now it looks like there is an agreement to keep the current image. We have to take into account image quality. We can't have an image where the subject of the article is half cut off and blurry.

Question in regards to awards and nominations section
Would it be an issue if I were to place the awards and nominations section in-between the personal life and filmography sections? I ask this because I don’t want to waste my time doing so only for it to be reverted to the way it originally was. My reason for thinking of doing this is because I noticed that one of the biggest criticisms of my earlier edits was that I kept adding information that was already present in the article (particularly the bits that are located in the awards and nominations sections). The truth is that I did so because I hadn’t realized they were already present and that’s because when looking at Wikipedia articles I (and I assume many others) very rarely scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. It therefore crossed my mind that If I overlooked that section there might be others who do the same and it seems to me that that shouldn’t be the case for such an important part of the article since it highlights some of Emilia's biggest achievements thus far. I’m basically just wondering if its okay for me to move that section from where its currently located at the bottom and place it a little higher on the page, below the personal life section, so that it can have more of a chance of being seen by persons visiting the article. I’m very much aware that its common for this specific section to be the last heading in many articles but, I’ve seen a number of articles where it’s been placed above the actor’s filmography. Johnny Depp’s is a good example. I also initially wondered why the full table of her awards and nominations aren’t present in the article while other actors have theirs fully on display. I figured that it was probably done to avoid clutter. Would appreciate if you could confirm whether my assumption on this is correct as its something I’ve always been curious about. Leewills (talk) 03:59, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hello Leewills, so I think that, and this is my opinion, having the Awards section fits well after the Filmography section. It just seems logical to have awards after her works. Johnny Depp seems to be an outlier, I couldn't find any talk pages threads regarding the section placement. I would suggest opening up a thread on the talk page to see what other editors have to say. For your question about having the entire list of awards and nominations, we have a separate page for her awards and nominations because of the length. The section is a summary of the other article, highlighting her main career accolades which are located on the main awards page. -- LuK3 (Talk) 13:31, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
I see where you’re coming from and to be honest it’s not enough of an issue for me to start an actual discussion with other editors on the topic. Kinda just wanted to explain that I kept adding those things because they’re located in an area that I think is more overlooked than people actually realise. I overlooked it after all. I do think her invite to join the academy could be mentioned somewhere else in the article though (personal life seems appropriate) since its only mentioned once, while other honours eg. the bafta are in there twice. Congrats on the GA upgrade on her page btw. I’d like to think I played a small role despite my somewhat problematic edits. Leewills (talk) 17:46, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Leewills thank you for your explanation. This is where WP:BRD comes into play. You can be bold and edit an article to improve it however if someone changes it back be prepared to discuss it with the editor and get more editors to discuss it as well. That is what Wikipedia is all about. -- LuK3 (Talk) 19:23, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Luk :) I wanted to warn you that this IP is a troll, old knowledge from the Italian wikipedia which now vandalizes the English one with lot of Yellow card. Thank you :) --Dave93b (talk) 13:28, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Emilia Clarke
On 17 April 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Emilia Clarke, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Emilia Clarke performed the funky chicken and robot dances at her Game of Thrones audition? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Emilia Clarke. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Emilia Clarke), 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.

A message from GacmFeb23rd2013
Received this from wiki: "It has been requested that certain historical revisions of this page be redacted by an administrator under criterion RD1 (Blatant copyright violations), because the page's history contains significant copyright violations of http://www.fairplay-campaign.co.uk/stop_gambling/effective.html (Duplication Detector report · Copyvios report) that have been removed in the meantime."
I have looked at the "http://www.fairplay-campaign.co.uk/stop_gambling/effective.html" and do not see any similarities in the wording I have on the Gamblers Anonymous wiki page.
I have never heard of "fairplay-campaign.co.uk" prior to this issue, and certainly did Not plagiarize any material from that site. I have used all Gamblers Anonymous texts and group websites to gather citations and quotes. All writing has been from my own words.
And for the record "http://www.fairplay-campaign.co.uk/stop_gambling/effective.html" has nothing to do with Gamblers Anonymous or any of gamblers anonymous chapters. The site actually seems to be asking if GA is effective, and notes why GA is not effective.
The history of GA has also been removed and I do not understand what the history of GA has to do with "http://www.fairplay-campaign.co.uk/stop_gambling/effective.html". The history listed other locations in the world where GA has spread to since it's inception in 1957. Not sure how that is a copyright issue with "http://www.fairplay-campaign.co.uk/stop_gambling/effective.html".
Please reinstate the material we posted. It was not copied from anywhere. We would like to have accurate information on wiki for Gamblers Anonymous and that's all we are trying to do.
After another look at "fairplay", they are a gambling site. It states on their website, that "FairPlay Bets – Gaming is our passion", "Fairlay - Bitcoin Prediction Market and Exchange" among other gambling things they do. This is a gambling website. It has Nothing to do with Gamblers Anonymous, other than to try and disprove Gamblers Anonymous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GacmFeb23rd2013 (talk • contribs) 14:32, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
Luk3, the long quotation is the Definition of Compulsive Gambling for GA. I cut out some of the beginning of the definition and put the last two lines in quotations. It is longer than the version I put on the wiki page. Not sure a partial definition is correct or accurate either, but it's too long otherwise.
Luke3, please replace the history portion of GA. There is no copyright issue there. They are just like to GA websites across the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GacmFeb23rd2013 (talk • contribs) 14:40, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

You can create User:GacmFeb23rd2013/sandbox to format your addition before you submit them to the article as well. -- LuK3 (Talk) 14:46, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
GacmFeb23rd2013, it is not just a copyright issue, it is also a manual of style issue. Luk3, All the work I did was removed for a copyright issue with a gambling site "fairplay-campaign.co.uk".

Is it o.k to use this link? — Preceding unsigned comment added by GacmFeb23rd2013 (talk • contribs) 17:09, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- GacmFeb23rd2013, I would suggest not using that link for a reliable source. Normally, Wordpress and related blogs are usually self-published. You might want to include that link in the "External links" section. You might want to include the official website instead which links to all of the international chapters. -- LuK3 (Talk) 17:17, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
GacmFeb23rd2013 (talk) 14:13, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- GacmFeb23rd2013, thank you for the note. It looks like that website has copied the information from the Gamblers Anonymous article. I have reverted your edits because it does contain a lot of quotations from non-free sources. According to MOS:QUOTE, we should only use quotations sparingly. I would suggest writing new additions in your own words. -- LuK3 (Talk) 14:23, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- GacmFeb23rd2013, if you think your edits are ready, you can add them to the article yourself. However, I would highly suggest, again, to prep your addition in your sandbox or your else your edits will be removed again. -- LuK3 (Talk) 15:00, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Da.simm (talk) 22:21, 26 April 2020 (UTC) Yeah sorry about that LuK3. I only know what to put on this stupid article and keep off people who (as to quote you) blatantly harass other people like they're abusing someone. This user has taken off anyone who tries to edit and put accurate information on for an unexplained reason. So instead of him reporting me, you need to go talk to him and ask why he thinks this is okay. You wikipedians are always talking about how you try to take care of deletionists by blocking them, so I am kinda trying to help you out here! But if for some reason this isn't enough, well then let me tell you something you guys can go do.
Go ahead, vandalize.
- Da.simm, I took a look over your edits at Mason Ramsey. All of your additions are unsourced. Most information, especially information about living people, need to be sourced correctly or they will be removed. Denniss was correct in reverting your edits. Please include reliable sources in your future edits or they will be reverted again. Please let me know if you have any questions. -- LuK3 (Talk) 22:27, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

A message from 71.246.111.156
Hi Luk, I see that you reverted my change to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Dushinsky; the addition is based on an email sent by his management company to the tenants. So, it's not in published press, but is the official communication by his nominated representatives. Can we reinstate the change?
Thank you. 71.246.111.156 (talk) 15:57, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for your note. All information on Wikipedia articles, especially biographies of living people, have to based on reliable sources. An email from his management company would be considered a primary source which editors tend to avoid only in limited circumstances. I would wait until the story is covered in a reliable media outlet, for example The New York Times or CNN. You can take a look at WP:RSP to see a list of reliable sources that could be included in Wikipedia articles. Please let me know if you have any more questions. -- LuK3 (Talk) 16:06, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Revision Deletion request
Thanks for your identification of material needing Revision Deletion. As a minor point, and I might be all wet here, but I'd prefer to see the reversion followed by the request for Rev del, rather than the request followed by the reversion. The reason is that the revision deletion hides everything up to the the deletion, which means editors other than admins cannot see the details of your request. Frankly, I doubt that many are all that interested, so not a big deal, but if you revert first, then request Rvdel, other editors will still be able to see the details of your request. Does this make sense to you?S Philbrick(Talk) 23:08, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
- Sphilbrick, I'm assuming you are referencing Canadian National Exhibition. That was entirely my fault. I thought I reverted first then tagged it, when if fact it was the other way around. I'll be cognizant of that in the future. Thank you for the note. -- LuK3 (Talk) 23:33, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

A message from 77.97.19.208
Dear interfering person with no name,
How can the truth not be"constructive"?
You have edited out facts that are true which is nothing more than political censorship of the the very kind that you claim to deprecate.
How is that anything other than hypocrisy?
Is Wikipedia interested in the truth, or not?
JB 77.97.19.208 (talk) 15:49, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- Your edit goes against multiple core Wikipedia policies and guidelines, including Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Disruptive editing. I recommended on your talk page to bring up your issues with the article on the talk page. The article is not the place to add your opinion. Please let me know if you have any further questions. -- LuK3 (Talk) 15:52, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
What's the point? You don't answer my questions. You arrogantly ignore them! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.97.19.208 (talk) 22:57, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Do not reverse edits saying that there is no explanation in the edit when an explanation is provided
Please do not reverse edits saying that there is no explanation in the edit when an explanation is provided. Like I already explained in the edit, the article on male pregnancy is about biological sex. It says so in the very first line of the article:
> Male pregnancy is the incubation of one or more embryos or fetuses by male members of some species.
Since the article is about biological sex and not about gender identity, references to pregnancy in trans men (FtM) is not relevant to the article. If anything, an article on pregnancy in trans women (MtF) would be relevant to the article, but I don't believe there is one. 78.54.78.232 (talk) 17:59, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hello, I see that there is a discussion on the talk page regarding the issue. Please do not keep removing the content. According to WP:STATUSQUO, the section should still be included in the article until consensus is reached. If you continue to remove the section, you may be reported for edit warring. Please let me know if you have any questions. -- LuK3 (Talk) 18:10, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

A message from 185.139.137.29
Hi LuK3 You have just undone my edit. I accept that as if you may not be aware about arabs and jews. They are BOTH semitic people, they descend from the same ancestry. And this man, Abdur Rahma as Sudais is arab himself. So if he is antisemitic, then he is anti-arab too! I would suggest to make it Anti-jewism or rename it into something more logical. It is ridiculous when the term "anti-semitism" is used for arabs of any rank! Kind regards, Muhibbij 185.139.137.29 (talk) 19:24, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the message. According to the Antisemitism article,
The root word Semite gives the false impression that antisemitism is directed against all Semitic people, e.g., including Arabs and Assyrians.
That is not the case however because the word has been almost exclusively used again Jews since the mid-1800s. If you would like to discuss this issue more, feel free to open up a discussion at Talk:Abdul-Rahman Al-Sudais. -- LuK3 (Talk) 19:32, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
A message from 185.139.137.29
Thank you LuK3 for redirecting me to the same discussion which took place in 2015. I read it and it seems to me like if they didn't gave a reasonable response. It is totally unacceptable to stick to the terms which where introduced in the 1800s to base on. This man who had introduced the term was a jew born in Germany. And there were no arabs in Germany at that time, so he was fully confident in choosing words. Probably he had never met an arab in his whole life. It is wrong if used towards the arab. At that point in time, in Germany there were no semites accept the jews, and the term "antisemite" was ok. But now we know that arabs are everywhere and it would be appropriate to use the term "anti-jewism" as those whom we used to call "anti-semite" was actually against jews and not against semites as a race. This word should be thrown out of Wikipedia. Wikipedia should consider only facts, which has to have logical explanation. And what is instead? It is stuck in a dictionary and not able to recognize that simple logic. This term is logically incorrect and it is put in dictionary, and there is ok for dictionary. But for Wikipedia it is not ok, it should get the most precise, the most unambiguous terms out of dictionaries. Those men in the discussion are totally correct, and after long and meaningful protest they had just repeated that this term is from dictionary... 185.139.137.29 (talk) 20:11, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

As the link I included is a Facebook photo of Lori Garver uploaded onto Lori Garver's Facebook page it is, in my opinion, it fits within Wikipedia's criteria of a legitimate citation.
If you disagree could you please indicate why so I can learn for future reference. (No pun intended :) )

- Thank you for the message. While the use of Facebook posts are allowed in specific circumstances, the use of self-published sources should never be used to as a secondary source about living people (see WP:SPS). Your addition seems to be original thought with no reliable sources to verify the material added. I would suggest looking around at reliable sources, like national newspapers or news agencies, that are reporting on the controversy and include those articles or stories in your edit. Please let me know if you have any questions. -- LuK3 (Talk) 16:30, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

For creating my account under my previous username "K Magz". Are my reverts enough for me to apply rollback rights? Let me know/notify me on my talk page only. Regards, KMagz04 (talk) 03:35, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- KMagz04, thank you for your message. I would suggest posting your request over at WP:RFP/R and have an administrator review your request. -- LuK3 (Talk) 12:00, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

A message from 72.39.90.121
Re: Walt Elliot change. I have no idea how to reach you. Hope this is the right way. I am Walt's daughter in law and have put the date of his death in because I was there when he died. I don't have proof of his death as we are working on the obituary today. I don't code, so I am doing my best with this wiki thing. As for his name change, I just showed the doctor his passport to prove that his birth name was Robert Walter Elliot (even though he went by Walt) so that she could fill in the death certificate. I have no idea how to prove that, because his documents are private and I'm not sharing them with wikipedia. Evelyn Elliot 72.39.90.121 (talk) 19:31, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- I appreciate the message. All information added to Wikipedia articles need to be verified in reliable sources. A reliable source would include a story in a newspaper or an equivalent. This is especially true with information related to living (or recently deceased) people. I would suggest waiting until news of his death is covered in a news story before re-adding his death date. For the name change, again Wikipedia only report real names and name changes based on reliable sources. I would again wait until his full name is reported by reliable sources. I hope this helps. -- LuK3 (Talk) 19:53, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Reverted edit at a user's talk page
Hello, I saw that you reverted this edit just now. While I can see why, don't you think that it would arguably be a useful edit to keep, given that it sort of proves the blocking admin's point? M Imtiaz (talk · contribs) 01:59, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- M Imtiaz, thank you for the message. I do not think the ad hominem attacks on Wikipedia editors really add anything to the editor's case for being unblocked. While it is their own talk pages and they can do what they want within the guidelines, personal attacks are not tolerated per WP:NPA. -- LuK3 (Talk) 02:13, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- I guess that makes sense. Best, M Imtiaz (talk · contribs) 02:14, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
A message from Matt M UCB SPH
You've undone edits that I've made, claiming that it might be difficult for me to write in a neutral or objective way about this subject. The edits I made were to include the correct logo and new location for the school, which have been in place since 2018. I also updated a link to a source for a historical fact about the year that the university was founded, by linking directly to the school's website. I am not being paid for this, I just know these things to be true.
I understand that this is your hobby, but you need to calm yourself down before you make these changes in the future. If I have any changes that might go against the rules I will run it by a more even-keeled editor before publishing. But until then, when I am in the process of making factual objective updates, please address any issues directly or leave them in place. Thanks
Matt M UCB SPH (talk) 01:26, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
- Matt M UCB SPH, I did not undo any edit you made on UC Berkeley School of Public Health, you can see the edit history here. I simply posted a welcome message on your talk page with some information about conflicts of interest. Please let me know if you have any questions. -- LuK3 (Talk) 01:31, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
Well I'm sorry I took this sentence "Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason." to mean that you were in the process of removing it, as though "may have already been" meant "will happen and that might already be the case, depending on when I get to it". Sorry for assuming. Matt M UCB SPH (talk) 01:35, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
- Matt M UCB SPH No worries, please let me know if you have any further questions. You can also head to WP:TEAHOUSE to ask questions about editing on Wikipedia. -- LuK3 (Talk) 01:42, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

- Hello Prahlad balaji, thank you for your message. I requested my userpage to be fully protected over at WP:RFPP. You might want to read WP:UPROT regarding userpage protection, you need to demonstrate you have a realistic need for full protection. Hope this helps! -- LuK3 (Talk) 19:45, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
