Kiwi Farms

I'd appreciate it if you looked at the talk page, and maybe actually read the primary source cited by the secondary source. Toodles. Naihreloe (talk) 23:00, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

@Naihreloe: I'll respond at the article talk page :) Sideswipe9th (talk) 23:05, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Tova Friedman article moved to draft

I have found that the article https://en.wikipedia.org/Tova_Beck-Friedman confused this artist with Tova Friedman, Auschwitz survivor. I have made the corrections to this article and created a new article on Tova Friedman. I was in the process of writing it when you have moved it to draft. Now I have completed it and submitted to publication but[REDACTED] says that 4 months or more are needed. As it is a correction of a previous mistake of a user of[REDACTED] I ask you to publish it as soon as possible. Tova Friedman is at the center of public attention for her testimonial activity on Holocaust with children in US and fully deserves an article in wikipedia. MSacerdoti (talk) 00:12, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

@MSacerdoti: Two issues. While I can draftify an article, I do not believe I can move an article from draft space to the main space. Secondly, though I'm not yet an Articles for creation reviewer, if I was I would say that while you have improved the draft in the last few hours, it still fails to meet Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and the biographies notability guideline. At present the draft does not demonstrate significant coverage, which demonstrate notability via independent secondary reliable sources. In short this means that more sources, which are independent of Friedman, so not work she has written or interviews with her, are needed. Sideswipe9th (talk) 00:27, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

You've got mail!

@Dreamy Jazz: got it! No worries. It's something I'd probably remove, at least in part, but then I don't have the mop :) Thanks for taking a look at it! Sideswipe9th (talk) 21:45, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Kiwifarms URL

I have started a discussion on the VDARE and Right Stuff blog talks saying I think the url should be excised. Since that's relevant to the current Kiwifarms discussion and were mentioned would it be okay if I left a message on the Kiwi Farms discussion saying I started those ones and that people can chip in? Don't think it'd be canvassing since I wouldn't tell people to take a stance but idk cos it was already mentioned. Not tryna canvas though. Also idk if it's self-promo Stephanie921 (talk) 20:53, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

@Stephanie921: I don't know to be honest. While there's obviously some overlap in the discussions, the articles themselves have less clear links. But it is a limited scale posting, as it's one talk page, and you can make sure the message is neutral and referenced at both locations per WP:INAPPNOTE. Maybe ask ferret on their talk page as they might have more experience figuring that out. Sideswipe9th (talk) 21:03, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank you! Stephanie921 (talk) 21:07, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Forgive Me For I Have Sinned

Hello! You have reverted my post (revision 1108749352) on Talk:Destiny (streamer) without leaving a WP:REVEXP . I would appreciate WP:NOBITING as I'm quite new to this side of Misplaced Pages and would like to know what I did wrong and how I could've done it better! It is late here, so if I don't reply right away, I will see it in the morning. Babyblasphemy (talk) 03:55, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Babyblasphemy:. Late here too, so I'll keep it short. It was a WP:OUTING issue, falling under the other contact information criteria. You made a link between an editor and their off-wiki presence that they had not made publicly on enwiki. We generally don't allow that content, which is why it's also been WP:OVERSIGHTed by one of our oversighters. Sideswipe9th (talk) 04:05, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Ah, I've read something about that, do I need do do anything to ensure the revision cannot be restored, or does oversight handle that? Babyblasphemy (talk) 04:18, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

That's already taken care of. Only folks who could restore it are other oversighters, no-one else can see it. Sideswipe9th (talk) 04:19, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Understood, sorry for the trouble and thanks for upgrading my knowledge! Babyblasphemy (talk) 04:21, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Sideswipe9th. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. _signed, Rosguill 03:45, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

It is so ironic that you take such issue with 'attacks' on other editors but seemingly condone other editors remodeling articles into what are basically hatchet jobs on people who do not align with their politics. So sad that[REDACTED] has come to this.Kont Dracula (talk) 20:48, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Rotten Tomatoes critic score

That other editor clearly misunderstands the past discussion. Please read the talk page. If you personally object then go ahead and object and state your argument but please do not perpetuate the misunderstanding that other editor has based on a misreading of the past discussion. It is perfectly normal to include the Rotten Tomatoes critic score in a film article, but it is also possible to contrive an objection. Due to WP:3RR I will have to wait but I cannot argue against a past consensus that did not exist. -- 109.79.67.41 (talk) 20:58, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
