December 2019

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Causes of the 2019 Hong Kong protests, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Lists of 2019 Hong Kong protests

The article Lists of 2019 Hong Kong protests has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

List of protests in Hong Kong exists

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Jax 0677 (talk) 17:47, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

Auto archive

There is no need to manually archive anything. The bot will pick up any threads and move them to the archives automatically. In fact, it's hard to edit talk page sections because the section number keeps on shifting. CoronavirusPlagueDoctor (talk) 19:27, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

• CoronavirusPlagueDoctor I know this but the talk page is extremely big so I am clearing it of resolved discussions. — RealFakeKimT 19:30, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Flattening the curve redirect notice on Social distancing

Hi RealFakeKIm. I reverted your edit on Social distancing. I respectfully disagree with your reasoning. Flattening the curve redirects there & there is currently no mention specifically of "Flatten the curve" in that section. We need to provide a soft landing so users know they have arrived at the right place & do not experience WP:SURPRISE. Please discuss on the talk page if you think this is incorrect. Peaceray (talk) 17:36, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

• (I wrote this before you edited it) Peaceray True but most themes covered in the section are mentioned a lot with flattening the curve so it could be assumed they are in the correct place. I think that point could be made for most redirects in my opinion like the 3 million redirects to 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic (2019–20 outbreak of North East Respiratory Syndrome(NERS) (NERS-nCoV) which could be interpreted as something completely different or Wuhan outbreak which could mean a hole range of things in my opinion). — RealFakeKimT 17:48, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

COVID general sanctions notification

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.

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.

Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

weird revert

[1] What did you just do here, and why this weird message[2] on my talk page? I thought my edit summary explained what happened. I added some stuff to the article and then reverted it because it was the wrong article. It was supposed to have gone here, different and much more famous book of similar title. I thought I had been reverted by a misbehaving bot, but now can't tell. 2601:648:8202:96B0:E0CB:579B:1F5:84ED (talk) 09:25, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

• Your edit came up as suspected vandalism so I looked into it and reverted it back to before you started to edit it. The warning was me on autopilot I'm sorry about that as you noticed your mistake yourself. I will remove it right away. — RealFakeKimT 09:30, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. 2601:648:8202:96B0:E0CB:579B:1F5:84ED (talk) 09:37, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

You Might Be a Zombie and Other Bad News

You might consider reading the section you restored, and asking yourself whether it falls under the category of original research. Then, go back to my edit summary and see if it gives "original research" as the reason for removal. I think you'll be surprised. 173.52.52.239 (talk) 12:59, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

• It does sound like WP:OR but the section cites two sources one being a book and the other a review. — RealFakeKimT 15:14, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi RealFakeKim. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 06:30, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Your thread has been archived

Hi RealFakeKim! You created a thread called Want to start scripting at Wikipedia:Teahouse, but it has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days. You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please create a new thread.

Hi, Recently one of the Article on Tablighi Jamaat is being rapidly disrupted, it is not corona virus actually. It is a non-political global missionary movement. Please take a look at 2019 revisions of Tablighi Jamaat. Rocky 734 (talk) 14:53, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

yancy Butler

I’m new to this format but saw not messages on my page when you ripped down my updates. What you’re posting is wrong and inaccurate. The 2017 data is the most inaccurate. This is damaging professionally and I don’t know why you’d keep posting it back. Why? Crazyeyes85 (talk) 14:54, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

You might have me confused with someone else I have not posted anything on your talk page and in my last 500 edits I havent reverted one of your edits. — RealFakeKimT 15:06, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Why you reverted my edits on Oscar by the Sea?

Why you reverted my edits on Oscar by the Sea? I put reference to my edit and you just delete it without knowing the truth. Did you search something about this estate? I worked on it for days and what I get is this. This is disappointing. Please do not remove anything unless it is really wrong. Thanks. M Town Citizen (talk) 15:03, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

• I am truly sorry for undoing your edit. It must have been me double-tapping a shortcut key on Huggle. I have removed your warning and restored the page to your edit. In future press the undo button next to the revision under the view history tab if you disagree with it. Again I'm sorry, — RealFakeKimT 15:11, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

2019–20 Hong Kong protests

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article 2019–20 Hong Kong protests has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

When the article goes through its Peer Review I suspect the excessive number of citations in it will come up. Simple statements of fact do not need more than two citations at the most.

Best of luck with the article moving forward.

Regards,

Twofingered Typist (talk) 20:18, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. Although some things surounding the protests are very contrivertial. — RealFakeKimT 10:09, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

reFill

Hi, I notice you use reFill. Whilst it is a really useful tool, it is not foolproof. It has not been updated since dead-url= was unsupported in favour of url-status= and therefore can introduce cite errors such as at [3], [4] and [5].

Hello, RealFakeKim. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Hitchcock & Scully".

If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Relapse (Eminem album) into Relapse 2. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 15:13, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
