Hi Novem Linguae,

I worked on the Draft:Stefan Raunser that was created by another editor. I improved it, taking in consideration the previous comments made by another wikipedia editor: DoubleGrazing, who declined the submission. Unfortunately, this reviewer does not re-review submissions that have been declined by them. I would therefore be great if you could re-review the draft and/or help me to improve the entry. Thanks in advance LA285306 LA285306 (talk) 15:52, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

LA285306. I accepted it just now. Thanks for writing it and for addressing DoubleGrazing's concerns. –Novem Linguae (talk) 16:41, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Great. Thank you for this prompt support! LA285306 (talk) 08:46, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You deleted my edit to gopnik article where I said how gopnik came from 'gop stop'. You said how you think it's unlikely a russian term will derive from non-russian one. What makes you think 'gop stop' is a non-russian term? The term is 100% russian. Karyev (talk) 21:19, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Karyev. Thanks for the message. I reverted your edit this time because LiveJournal is not a reliable source. It is WP:SELFPUB. Hope that makes sense. Happy editing. –Novem Linguae (talk) 06:56, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well how can it be happy editing if you're deleting my edits out of spite for no good reason? There can be NO 'reliable' sources on this subject - we're talking about how terms evolved 100-200 years from now. It's a matter of opinion. Including whether 'gopniks' derives from 'gop-stop' or 'gop-stop' derives from gopniks. But obviously it's either or, cause both these terms basically mean the same thing - robbery and those doing it. The reality is there's a locally well-known russian slang term 'gop-stop' which means street robbery. Just google it - you will only see russian links, including well known song by a well-known russian artist. It's a common knowledge in Russia. No one else uses it. So how you figured it's a foreign term is anyone's guess. Stop canceling me out, man ) Karyev (talk) 22:48, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would encourage you to follow our policies and guidelines so that you get reverted less often. For example the guideline on citing reliable sources. A google search for "gopnik etymology" should provide some clues as to its origin. For example wikt:гопник#Russian, which does not mention "gop stop". You can't cite Wiktionary since wikis are not reliable sources, but those search results should be some good starting points in looking for sources. There's probably an online dictionary with an etymology somewhere that could be cited for this. An online dictionary's etymology section would be a reliable source. –Novem Linguae (talk) 19:00, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Novem Linguae, Hope you are doing well. I think that you are expert in creating scripts here in Wikipedia. So, I want to inculde you in Talk:India at the 2022 Asian Games#Drop-down Issue. Please feel free to add your comments there. Thank you ! Fade258 (talk) 10:04, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy. Sounds like something is broken on mobile? Might want to post this one at WP:VPT with a clear question / clear steps to reproduce. Someone there who is good at mobile can test and assist further. Could be a problem with wikicode syntax on that page. –Novem Linguae (talk) 10:21, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Novem Linguae, thanks for adding the "like resume" tag to Shmuly Yanklowitz. Over the years, many IPs and more or less ephemeral accounts have been trying to promote the subject. I feel this contributions list is currently interesting, and have posted a COI template on the user's page. Bishonen | tålk 21:05, 18 October 2023 (UTC).[reply]

@Bishonen. Yeap, smells like COI to me. Wish I had time to do a bit more. For now will just keep it watchlisted and make sure it stays tagged in some way. Happy editing :) –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:30, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Novem Linguae:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 2500 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible to make DraftCleaner remove ((AfC submission)) and ((AfC comment))? Lightoil (talk) 20:51, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Lightoil. Only from mainspace articles, right? I think we'd need to keep those on drafts, right? –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:18, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes correct Lightoil (talk) 21:21, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lightoil. Done I think. Give it a try now. –Novem Linguae (talk) 08:29, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Novem. I just replied you in my talk page. Sorry if arogance and overness that I showed there bothered you, it was for the bosses of yours not for you believe it. I forgot for a while that you're a volunteer user like many who are working for free in good cause, I value it. You definitely did a great job by reaching out to me. I know you saw my help seeking request somewhere in talk pages and found to to talk. I am glad for that because you put your intention and effort to find me. Yes I am at present highly depressed due to Wikipedia's harrasments to me but that's okay if I get clear direction for ahead. You may suggest me to do what will be good to me and to Wikipedia as per your understanding. I'm fine if I'm doing and I wasn't doing for long. I have no energy left to explain anything that drained my energy but I would put my best energy to do little good no matter how small.Thank you. 2409:4081:8790:B968:0:0:29EC:E8A1 (talk) 19:02, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm curious about your objections to imprecise language for LL. For 'soft' social science topics, like the influences on group thinking, surely the kind of language in academia is imprecise. If we go all the way into the Arts then a statement like:

• Claude Debussy's first compositions were heavily influenced by Chopin's keyboard works

would be absolutely 'standard' knowledge that Wikipedia would carry as such. In the social sciences it's maybe not quite as soft but it's not precise hard science either, so academics will write stuff like

• the way in which the theory was promoted by both politicians and keyboard warriors in the spring of 2020 has all the hallmarks of conspiracy thinking: confirmation bias, claims to secret information, blaming all problems on a demonized enemy, sliding quickly from the idea of an accidental laboratory leak to a deliberate program of bioweapons research, and so on.[1]

My point being that relaying scholarship can mean adopting the mode of writing about knowledge that the scholars use - 'having hallmarks' is both figurative and, if you, like 'imprecise'. Bon courage (talk) 10:43, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message I guess, but they're just copy edits. I don't really want to get into an extended debate about a couple words. It's a bit disappointing that you're so quick to revert on something so minor. –Novem Linguae (talk) 09:10, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, sorry. But I was more interested in the general question. I suppose LL is a difficult topic because on the one hand it's very empirical (e.g. did the virus originate at site X? Does it have signs of human engineering at the cellular level?) but increasingly it's being treated as a kind of sociological phenomenon in sources (e.g. what makes people believe this and how are the ideas influenced?). So the kind of knowledge around the latter is much less hard and empirical. I don't think I have a specific question but I'm just supposing there may be a difficulty reconciling these two ways of looking at a topic? I was really seeking input rather than an argument but if you don't want to that's fine! Bon courage (talk) 09:19, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your quiet words of advice and correction. I will bear them in mind with pleasure. Sometimes one does an incorrect thing for what appear to be entirely correct reasons at the time. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 08:58, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Sometimes it helps to hear something from more than one person. Hopefully I was helpful and not patronizing! –Novem Linguae (talk) 09:04, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If I am fair, I heard it the first time from the other party, and took notice. The difference is that you were all you hoped with your message, and they raised hackles. I was not going to appear to accept their correction based on hackle raising.

The message was important. Sometimes one makes mistakes in good faith. Having mistakes called out is good, and is useful, as well as important. That can be ruined by the manner of delivery.

The article is returned to Draft, no harm has occurred. It does have a place here, and I could edit it to secure its place, but I think wiser not to touch it. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 09:31, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Novem Linguae! I thought I'd let you know that you might want to add a case for your script DraftCleaner so that it doesn't replace legitimate external links in infoboxes (diff). No rush, of course; it's a small enough issue that it's nothing to worry about. Thanks, by the way, for making this script, as well as GANReviewTool and CiteHighlighter! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 05:52, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Novem! I came across an article that you previously G5'd in a mass deletion of a sock. The article has been recreated and I'd like to know if it's the same sock or not. Article is Boxing at the 2023 Pacific Games ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{blaze__wolf} 17:37, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Blaze Wolf. Thanks for the message. The text in the deleted version is completely different, so no smoking gun here. However it looks like this account re-created the same deleted pages as the sock, so this is worth an SPI. Luckily someone already filed one at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/KimSumi21#28 November 2023, so we should be all set. –Novem Linguae (talk) 19:20, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response! I noticed it while looking at new pages to review and saw that it had been mass deleted via a sock finding and also it had no references so it threw many red flags. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{blaze__wolf} 21:45, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Would welcome some guidance on the edit. The Azores was factually the first archipeligo to be certified, it was endorsed by the Government. I edited this out to reflect just their Earthcheck certification. Its a government policy and something they publish publicly. Should I perhaps expand on it more and include their policy documents, action plans etc? Appreciate any guidance you can provide. 118.209.253.140 (talk) 21:52, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Novem, I hope you're well. Jupiter is being promoted to a Featured topic (having been one in the past). Does the bot work for this "re-promotion" or should I do it manually? Best – Aza24 (talk) 02:32, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Aza24. I did a read only test run, and the output looks good to me. Examples:

Talk:Jupiter:

|action16 = FTC
|action16date = 05:12, 6 December 2023
|action16link = Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates/Jupiter/archive1
|action16result = promoted
|action16oldid = 1188421513
|ft2name = Jupiter
|ft2main = yes

Talk:Atmosphere of Jupiter:

|action6 = FTC
|action6date = 05:12, 6 December 2023
|action6link = Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates/Jupiter/archive1
|action6result = promoted
|action6oldid = 1187879552
|ftname = Jupiter
|ftmain = no

I think Wikipedia:Featured topics/Jupiter and Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/Jupiter are going to get overwritten though, so if you could manually merge those pages when the bot is done, I think we'll be in good shape. –Novem Linguae (talk) 05:48, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm adding two modern academic opinions on one event (purim). but two users deleted my content and even accused me of war editing. I want to know if can someone delete academic content because he thinks that the book of Esther is not historical fiction ? in now-days, no professors think that this book is reliable. but this user insists on consensus !!! Nobody is supporting his idea, what, what consensusing can be established when he has no advocate ??? Jentilir (talk) 09:48, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Jentilir. Thanks for your contributions. This is called a content dispute, and the best place to hash this out is on the article's talk page. In this case, that is Talk:Purim. Since your edits are being objected to, you need to develop a consensus on that talk page before your edits can be included. A consensus means that the result of the discussion is that most people agree to add your content. If this agreement doesn't happen, the content should not be added. Please also be careful not to edit war, which can get you blocked. WP:3RR. Hope this helps. Happy editing. –Novem Linguae (talk) 10:12, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. @Jentilir. Your edits had capitalization, grammar, and punctuation errors. What is your native language? We have Wikipedias in many languages. It may be easier to edit that Wikipedia. –Novem Linguae (talk) 10:17, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My native language is persian. And i added those text in persian wiki, too. But english is international's language. Why should not to edit in this wikipedia? And on what Basis he/she says "No secondary sourcing means that we should not include this, Wikipedia isn't an indiscriminate list of opinions" ??? If he/she has a secondary source, he/she can add his content too, But he can't delete my content, because he/she has not any defender. Jentilir (talk) 10:34, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jentilir. Why should not to edit in this wikipedia? You have errors in every sentence, which makes it high effort to read and fix your contributions. This quote, for example, should be "Why shouldn't I edit this Wikipedia?"

And on what Basis he/she says "No secondary sourcing means that we should not include this, Wikipedia isn't an indiscriminate list of opinions" ??? WP:SECONDARY sources are better than WP:PRIMARY sources. The use of primary sources can mess up the WP:WEIGHT of an article. –Novem Linguae (talk) 10:51, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I will fix my errors. but this not related to its undo my edits. He/she can say you should fix your writing, not saying that you should convince me (when I don't have a supporting secondary book to defend my idea). And i request you to tell him/her to stop deleting my context. If he/she didn't have and secondary book, it's not my fault. he/she should Research for finding text to support his/her idea. And you said about WP:WEIGHT. all primary sources are supporting the report of Esther an Mordecai. So can I delete subsequent source because it's indiscriminate reports ? Jentilir (talk) 19:54, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jentilir. As a newer editor (18 edits), you should pay attention to what experienced editors such as MrOllie (207,000 edits) and Viewmont Viking (48,000 edits) are saying, and adjust your editing accordingly. They probably know what they are talking about :) Content disputes should always be discussed at the talk page of the article, in this case Talk:Purim. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:18, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Experience in what field ? I don't think they read even a dozen academic books about religions or history ? Experience in general editing didn't give anyone the ability to undo their opponent's edits. If someone had another idea, he/she should put his/her text in wikipedia's page, dude. it's not my duty !

Hello, I am seeking a dispute resolution over at the Melbourne shuffle page. I noticed you have cleaned it up a bit in the past. Recently an IP address and two newly created sockpuppet accounts (all clearly connected IMO) have attempted to rewrite the history of the shuffle and attribute the creation of the dance to one man. No other source links him to the shuffle, let alone names him as its inventor. It's all really bizarre. Please read their claims and my response to them over at the Melbourne shuffle talk page. Any help in sorting this out would be much appreciated. - HappyWaldo (talk) 15:51, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This might also be relevant: the man in question had a Wiki page that was deleted in 2021 due to "undisclosed conflict of interest, lack of any quantifiable accomplishments, that this is a resume, and because it's spam". - HappyWaldo (talk) 16:12, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @HappyWaldo. Thanks for the message. I went ahead and reverted to the last stable version, as I don't think someone saying in an interview that they invented something is a very reliable source. If there continue to be issues on this page, I'd recommend posting at a noticeboard or something to get neutral editors to participate in the discussion. Can also consider filing a WP:SPI if it becomes obvious the two accounts are the same editor. Hope that helps. Happy editing. –Novem Linguae (talk) 00:17, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
