Non-free images

Hi,

You have recently uploaded some non-free. None of them have non-free usage rationales. This is required (See WP:NFCC#10c Several of them are images of living people. Almost all such images are not compliant with Wikipedia's guidelines for non-free content as it contravenes policy point 1 which covers replaceability. From the guidelines, "Non-free content should not be used when a freely licensed file that serves the same purpose can reasonably be expected to be uploaded, as is the case for almost all portraits of living people." -- Whpq (talk) 04:02, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

@Whpq: Thank you, and sorry for not including rationales. I will try to add them to these images ASAP. --Bangalamania (talk) 04:38, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Regarding this edit. That is not a non-free usage rationale. You need to add {{Non-free use rationale}} or one of the more specific ones from Category:Non-free use rationale templates and ensure all the fields are filled in to explain how all the non-free content criteria are met. -- Whpq (talk) 12:24, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

A cookie for you!

Thank you so much for recreating the article on Jessi Slaughter! Her story needs to be told now that it is in the news again. Scorpions13256 (talk) 02:17, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

@Scorpions13256: Thank you, your cookies are delicious! And you're very welcome, I hope it's accurate as I'm not an expert in the subject area. --Bangalamania (talk) 02:20, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

No problem. However, I was concerned about that quote you put in the article. I rewrote it, and now I'm going to ask an administrator if the old revisions should be revdeleted. It isn't good to copy in that matter. But anyway, thank you for recreating the article! Scorpions13256 (talk) 02:29, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Oh. I see you are aware of what I did. Oops. Scorpions13256 (talk) 02:30, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Barnstar!

		The Original Barnstar
		I hereby award this barnstar to Bangalamania for contributing many hundreds of good quality edits since joining Wikipedia back in 2018! FeydHuxtable (talk) 12:39, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

I had a quick look at your Nikocado Avocado article. Mostly it's really good, seems to have got right to the heart of what he's all about, good job! Though this is just a quick assessment so I may be wrong. I know very little about mukbang, a while back I was reading various systematic reviews for off wiki consulting & I was seeing Muckbang mentioned a lot, that's the only reason I made a small edit to the main article. The one thing that needs work is that per WP:OR, someone needs to either cite or rever the major claim added by the IP earlier today (Adding about the Daily Mail to the lede I mean, I already took care of a minor WP:BLP violation in the 'Health concerns' section.) OK - due to busyiness this is all I have time for with regard to this article. Best of luck with it! FeydHuxtable (talk) 12:39, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

@FeydHuxtable: Thank you very much for the barnstar, as well as commenting on the article! I appreciate this is not my area of expertise either, which is why I wanted to get the input of editors on recent edits which have been made to the article.

re: the Daily Mail claim, I think it is referring to this article – but as you say, I'm not sure about the appropriateness of citing this in the article for the claims with are being made, per WP:DAILYMAIL and WP:OR. --Bangalamania (talk) 13:39, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Don't post on my talk page again

Thanks.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  12:16, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Trouble, trouble, here comes the bubble!

Hey, I know this was a long time ago, but thanks for giving me a thanks on the Kurtis Conner page. It was such a small correction so I was surprised. That was the first time anyone had done that!  :) Madame C.J. Breedlove (talk) 17:54, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Masja Loogman moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Masja Loogman, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Mccapra (talk) 10:20, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

AFC

Hello. I thought Draft:United Citizens' Alarm was pretty decent, although it could use a little more work. I do think it would survive AfD if nominated. Is there some reason you are using AFC rather than moving it directly to article space?--- Possibly (talk) 19:17, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

@Possibly: Hey, thanks for the edits, I really appreciate that! My main reason for using AfC was because I had originally created the article before and had it deleted, and just wanted some eyes on it that weren't my own before it goes into mainspace. If you think it should be moved into mainspace then go ahead! --Bangalamania (talk) 19:24, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

I did indeed move it to article space. The group was profiled by the Washington Post and the Guardian, and there is lot of other coverage. Thanks. --- Possibly (talk) 19:44, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

The Passenger (novel)

Hello! I came across Draft:The Passenger (novel) and did some work on it. It's clearly notable and ready for mainspace now, so I put in a request at WP:RFM to move it to The Passenger (novel) which, as you pointed out, is currently a redirect. Thanks. --- Possibly (talk) 02:54, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Oh wow, thank you so much for doing the work on that one! – Bangalamania (talk) 08:50, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Mwazulu Diyabanza

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Mwazulu Diyabanza you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

Removal of a page you created under A7

I nominated a page you created under {{Db-person}} and the page was deleted almost immediate before I managed to give you notification and I apologise for the lack of notification, one could have argued I should have used e.g. Twinkle but I didn't. I also had to RL transport someone somewhere and that can up immediately after the nomination although deletion occurred before that event. I remain of concern of some of your edits at Matt Hancock but I am not looking further at this point. I shortly intend to check if you have received or acknowledged a {{Ds/alert}} and will likely issue one if not. This is routine and the issuing of the notification is relatively standard on controversial blp's and in itself implies no issues with any edits. Djm-leighpark (talk) 13:34, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Djm-leighpark (talk) 13:37, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

I am also aware, if I am not mistaken, that you brought the Gina Coladangelo from a redirect to an article. In my personal opinion CSD:A7 does not apply to that article, and I am also minded the split reasoning seems reasonable in my opinion. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 13:53, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Not worried

Like you said on Talk:Autism and sexual orientation, I'm not worried about where I am under the LGBTQ+ umbrella, as it is a spectrum, of course, and like you, I'm still figuring it out myself, and I have no deadline for when I figure that out. But one day I'll figure it out at some point, I think. We'll see what happens. --Historyday01 (talk) 22:37, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Absolutely! Sexuality and self-discovery is a queer path to navigate. I certainly know that looking up things on Wikipedia was one thing that helped me in discovering myself in that regard, finding the right terms to put to my feelings, and discovering things about the LGBTQ+ community as a whole. (Plus, it's always fun to read someone's "Personal life" section to see if my gaydar is accurate without having to go to some gossipy website...)

The best way we can help others like us is to improve information on LGBTQ+ topics on this website, and you have definitely done an amazing job in that regard! 🌈🌈🌈 –Bangalamania (talk) 23:15, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Definitely! Wikipedia definitely helps in that regard. Yeah that's true, reading a personal life section can be fun, for sure. Improving information on LGBTQ+ topics is a great way to help others and I've done a lot with that over the last year and will continue to do it, for sure. --Historyday01 (talk) 03:16, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi Bangalamania, I've noticed the second paragraph is bereft of citations, which are needed per WP:BLP and WP:VERIFY; we are dealing with real people's lives here so everything needs to be cited. I've tagged the article with {{cn}} and {{Refimprove}}; feel free to remove these when it's fixed. It's OK, someone else has fixed this now. Lucky, huh? ;) Baffle☿gab 01:50, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Your GANs have been reverted

Hello. I am writing to let you know that I have removed all of the out-of-process good article nominations that you have submitted. You have only contributed to one of these nominated articles, Moggmentum, and while it is technically allowable for a non-significant contributor to nominate at GAN, many of these nominations are for articles that would be quick-failed on sourcing issues. Health effects of tobacco, for instance, has multiple inline cleanup tags, which would be an automatic failure even for a nomination that you had significantly worked on. You have already been warned under your previous username for not following GAN procedures properly. Please only nominate articles that you have significantly worked on and that you believe meet all six criteria. — GhostRiver 17:54, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

Your GAN of Women and Families for Defence

I have quick failed this nomination. The entire article is 147 words, it is near impossible for such a short article to be a GA. From a very cursory look into the topic, it's clear that the article is anything but a comprehensive overview of the subject. I've noticed this is not the first time you have been told that you are improperly sending articles that are not even close to ready for GAN to the GAN process. Please discontinue this behavior, it's a waste of everyone's time. In general, if an article is not even long enough to be DYK eligible, just about any reviewer will quickfail it as not sufficient in length or coverage of the topic.

Template:Meiteimyth navbox long

Please note that PROD is not used on templates (see WP:PROD): you need to propose {{Meiteimyth navbox long}} for WP:TFD. I've deprodded it (it looked dreadful on the stub I've just sorted, Meitei folklore). PamD 09:02, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Looking at it again: as you are the only substantial editor of the template it can go for CSD G-7, so I've nominated it thus. PamD 09:06, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.

All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.

Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.

I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences!
