Mamta Sagar

Hello, I've done some cleanup in Mamta Sagar that you'd listed in Wikipedia:Cleanup. Can you please check if I haven't messed anything up, and if the excessive info template can be removed? Thanks. Tetrahedron17 (talk) 11:16, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Tetrahedron17 wow, you've done an amazing work! It's so much better now. The only thing that is really important is references that lack in the article. I tried to find them earlier but I couldn't. Thank you for your contribution! Less Unless (talk) 13:16, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
Thanks; glad I was able to be of use. The image here is a snapshot from a video posted on Hyderabad Literary Festival's facebook page. I'm pretty sure this doesn't count as fair use -- should I remove it? Tetrahedron17 (talk) 15:05, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
Tetrahedron17 Sorry for the delay. Unfortunately, I am not the image copyright expert - still trying to catch up with these guidelines - I can't answer that question. Sorry! Less Unless (talk) 09:59, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
That's alright; I asked in wp:teahouse and someone resolved it. Tetrahedron17 (talk) 10:08, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Draft_talk:Daniel_O._Griffin

I represent a living person whose article has been flagged for clean-up due to poorly sourced references and violation of NPOV. Would you be so kind as to take a look as we are unsure what material is considered to be contentious: Draft:Daniel_O._Griffin. Thank you in advance and my apologies if this request is misplaced! Charmanderblue (talk) 10:29, 23 April 2020 (GMT+1)
Hello Charmanderblue! Please read this guideline WP:NPOV and rewrite omitting the words and phrases that are considered non-neutral. As for the sources - there should be independent reliable secondary sources with significant coverage. All the sources that have direct connection to the subject are not acceptable. There are several good ones but they all cover just one topic - covid. Please provide more reliable refs to back other statements in the article. Less Unless (talk) 09:56, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the swift reply, Less Unless! I will review the WP:NPOV guidelines and make edits as suggested. Could you kindly advise if there is a venue where I could request peer-review once I have completed the edits? Charmanderblue (talk) 13:59, 23 April 2020 (GMT+1)

A barnstar for you!

Featuring your work on Wikipedia's front page: DYKs

Thank you for your recent articles, including Ottilie Baader, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. Let me know if you need help, Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:21, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, Piotrus for your kind words which were an inspiration for me. I will take a look at the article and prep it for the DYK - I've already had 1 article featured there, so the process is familiar, however I will gladly have you as a mentor if anything. Best, Less Unless (talk) 09:10, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Tagging of Early life of Winston Churchill

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Early life of Winston Churchill. I do not think that Early life of Winston Churchill fits any of the speedy deletion criteria  because This is apparently a "backwards copyvio", see the talk page for details. If you wish, you may try using the simple proposed deletion (PROD) process, or the full articles for deletion (AfD) process, instead. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 02:57, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

DESiegel thank you for notifying, we have already discussed it with the article's creator and I absolutely agree it shouldn't be deleted. It was a misunderstanding. Best, Less Unless (talk) 18:10, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
No problem. This was a complex one easy to make a mistake over. Just wanted to let you know what I did. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 18:25, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Debra March

Hello, I noticed that the article of Nevada politician Debra March [[1]] has been flagged for clean-up due to possibly having edits made in return for undisclosed payments. The article is a stub and I would like to expand it, including accurately sources information that would be just to include in a biography of a living person. Would you be able to tell me how I could best go about making these edits without them getting reversed and flagged? I want everything added to comply with Wikipedia's content policies. Thank you for your help! VegasGoldenKnights45 (talk) 22:09, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

VegasGoldenKnights45 Hello! The policies here are as follows: If you have any connection to the subject of the article - you are highly discouraged to edit the article. If you are paid to write\edit the article, you have to disclose it by placing a tag on your talk page that you were paid to edit the article. If you don't disclose it, you will be blocked from editing. If you are in no way connected to the subject - you are welcome to edit the article. If your edits are reverted, you can discuss it with the person who reverted them on the articles talk page. You can read more about paid editing here WP:PAID and WP:COI. Hope I've helped.

Hello! Your submission of Ottilie Baader at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Hog Farm (talk) 03:58, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Ottilie Baader

On 11 June 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ottilie Baader, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Ottilie Baader was one of the founders of the first trade union organization for women in Germany? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ottilie Baader. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Ottilie Baader), 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.

Ways to improve Erica Rutherford

Hello, Less Unless,

Thank you for creating Erica Rutherford.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Terms and use of pronouns in this article could be deemed transphobic, and I suggest it be rewritten in collaboration with WP:PRIDE.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Kingsif}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Kingsif (talk) 04:21, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: Hello! Thank you for the notice. As I've seen the issues have already been addressed, however I choose not to remove you tag to avoid misunderstandings. Please do remove it yourself if you believe the tone is fine now. PS: I am not any type of "phobic". Best,Less Unless (talk) 09:46, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

DJ Daryl

Can I ask you to take another look at the material you think is a copyvio and let me know when you think it appeared in the article. I've had a look and it looks to me that it was added in 2016 in this edit. If so then it predates the Hype article and it's the Hype committing the copyvio of the material here. Thanks. Nthep (talk) 18:57, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello Nthep! Thank you for your notice, you are right indeed - the article was written a year later. However after conducting a thorough research I have found no sources at all to back any of the the information stated. The subject is mentioned solely as a producer of some songs listed in charts, there are no articles dedicated to him. According to BLP-rules all the unsourced information has to be removed, so I believe it should still be removed. Also the initial article at the point of creation was a redirect to 415 (group). Later a user DanielitoSanMiguel added basically all the information with no sources as well as a picture. There were no other contributions by this user (except for 1 edit to 2Pac), so i think it might be a coi. Tell me what do you think. I think the article should be changed to a redirect as it used to be as there is no evidence of notability at the moment. Best, Less Unless (talk) 09:24, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
If you've done some research and think that he's not notable and this is a puff piece then be WP:BOLD and reinstate the redirect. The worst that can happen is that someone undoes your edit, at which time you can discuss. Nthep (talk) 09:46, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Less Unless. 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. Barkeep49 (talk) 14:59, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Kevin M. Jones

I thought being the CEO of such a notable company, accompanied with sources that support the assertions it’s a prove of notability. Did you have any more reason for the PROD. Just curious? Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 19:54, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Synoman Barris Hello! Wikipedia's core inclusion policies are Notability - WP:N,WP:BIO, WP:ANYBIO and Verifiability - WP:RS. Also please note that just a trivial mention even in a highly reliable source doesn't show the subject is notable. The sources have to talk about the subject in detail. As for Kevin M. Jones - after doing a WP:BEFORE I have found no independent sources at all that would talk about him in detail. Just being a CEO is not enough. Best, Less Unless (talk) 13:40, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
Less Unless, Thank you for the well detailed explanation, I see the article is already at AFD after the PROD was removed by the creator. Cheers Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 13:45, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
