Hi, I'm El cid, el campeador. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Mujeeb Ur Rehman Malik, and have marked it as unpatrolled. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you.
(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
Apologies! After I tagged it for CSD, I saw it was reviewed, and assumed I had done it, so I wanted to unmark it in case speedy was declined. I did not even realize it was notifying you or anyone. Cheers ‡ Єl Cid of Valenciatalk13:20, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
You've been curated, El cid, el campeador. Megan, now that you have the user right, (if my memory serves correctly) every unreviewed article you edit will marked as reviewed so you are now locked in. It's good to be safe while you're still new at this, but don't hesitate to speedy the obvious...trust your instincts. AtsmeTalk📧14:16, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
Abuse of rollback tool
You abused your rollback tool and made false statements about my edit. It seems that you are extremely enthusiastic about reverting edits, and not at all enthusiastic about comprehending the reasons for an edit. You need to change your priorities. 51.7.229.251 (talk) 22:33, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
Your edits were problematic, and this is my user talk, you can’t be reverting my edits. You were blanking out content and two reviewers left you a message (after which you blanked out your TP). If you remove content again from that article because you don’t like it. I will report you to WP:AIVMegan Barris(Lets talk📧)05:40, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
There were additional citations required... According to you Sir... So what Can I do more to improve on this article? I've added all the available information on the page. She is a YouTube Person... She doesn't have much printed articles on her but has YouTube Videos of a channel which 1.58 M subs. According to Wikipedia, channels having a substantial subscriber count can have their videos as primary source. What should I do? Add Youtube videos as sources? Help will be very much appreciated Sir... Rahrumi (talk) 16:46, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
Rahrumi, Hello, actually there are too many primary sources which are not independent of the subject I.e YouTube and IMBD. I suggest you search for more reliable secondary sources, so as to determine notabilty. Since the subject has 1.58 million subscribers there is a great chance sources exist. When you have added more sources to the article you may ping me or leave me a message for me to have a look. If you have any questions you may ask. Regards Megan Barris(Lets talk📧)16:58, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
Thank You Megan Barris Ma'am for replying... But I don't any other sources apart from YouTube Videos as the subject is based in Los Angeles and has popularity in India. I literally searched every nook and corner to gather whatever I have now. I've not written anything contentious about the person. So can anything be done in such case? Rahrumi (talk) 17:04, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
Synoman Barris Can I use Linked In for Educational citation? And there are articles but it's like those fanmade wiki pages... So would that be ok If I use them? Rahrumi (talk) 17:29, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
Based on what I've gleaned, this one needs more time in the oven. Social media and most YouTube sources are not readily acceptable as RS for establishing WP:N, although in some instances it can be but I'm not seeing it in this one. What came close was this Amazon Prime-Video, but there's no evidence that her role as agent #1 is anything to write home about. This link doesn't meet our requirements but some of the information it contains can be corroborated. Again, all I'm seeing at this point fails WP:GNG. She is not new to the scene, having been around for nearly a decade. We do accept truly exceptional YouTubers, Tweeters, etc. but as the discussions and list at WP:RSN and Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources demonstrate, this one falls short. In cases like this one, the only way to really know is to take it to WP:AFD. It is always better to err on the side of caution. AtsmeTalk📧18:50, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
Atsme, Thanks for the detailed explanation Atsme, I will nominate it to AFD after leaving a note to the editor. I also realize the page curation tool bar doesn’t work well with AFDs, so I better use Twinkle. Best Megan Barris(Lets talk📧)19:00, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
Joyce Chiang
"I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Joyce Chiang, but you didn't provide a reliable source"
As the Juris Doctor Wikipedia article states, since 1971, all United States law schools have awarded the Juris Doctor/J.D. Because her biography states both that she was born in 1970 and graduated from a United States law school, her degree was obviously a Juris Doctor/J.D. My modification was akin to to encountering a biography which states that its subject was born in the City of New York and changing it to state that its subject was born in New York, New York. (All those born in the City of New York were also born in the State of New York.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.192.242.220 (talk) 23:12, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
So if I encounter a biography which states that its subject was born in the City of New York, I cannot change it to state that its subject was born in New York, New York? That seems bizarre.73.192.242.220 (talk) 05:28, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
You seem to be quite eager to change every mention of a law degree in Wikipedia to "J.D. degree". If you want to add this to the articles, you need to cite a reliable source for the assertions. You cannot just insert the information because you believe that's the degree the articles' subjects earned, that’s the warning you were given by the actual editor who reverted you @UncleBubba:Megan Barris(Lets talk📧)05:37, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
But according to the Juris Doctor Wikipedia article, since 1971, all United States law schools have awarded the Juris Doctor/J.D. to those graduating during or after that year. So I should repeatedly cite that article as a source? 73.192.242.220 (talk) 05:54, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I have add my name to be your students in counter vandalism units. Please help train me to be a good CVU person. Much regard Amah768 (talk) 18:45, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
Hello Amah768, I am afraid you don’t have enough experience in counter vandalism to be accepted at CVUA, your relatively new here and you’ve made only four edits (of which one was reverted). Generally we want to see 200 mainspace edits and enough experience in counter vandalism. I suggest you head over at WP:ADVENTURE to learn on how to edit Wikipedia constructively. Best regards Megan Barris(Lets talk📧)18:52, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I don't know who you are, but I am an orchestra member, and the board asked me to make the changes I attempted. There are no sources I am aware of. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doalcella (talk • contribs) 20:34, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
Realstatz If you continue to add unsourced claims you may be blocked from editing. You also have a WP:COI with the subject of the article. If you want to add anything to that article you better make an edit request on the talk page. Best regards Megan Barris(Lets talk📧)08:38, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
Hello, just saw you closed an AFD i started as no concensus(reason being as i was blocked). I know you always have to determine concensus but it is the duty of the closing admin to look at the article and see if it passes WP:GNG. Their is also little participation in that discussion since many people are not familiar with the subject. Please re-review that closure since I am going to be gone for a while and will not get the chance to start an AFD. Megan☺️Talk to the monster16:46, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Is there a policy that states that? Where did you get that from? FYI this is a self requested block (if you know anything of that sort). I am asking you to explain your action clearly at AFD, i may be blocked but my watchlist is active.Your reply is absurd!I expected better from you Megan☺️Talk to the monster17:17, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Synoman Barris, you are only allowed to use your talk page to request unblock as long as you are blocked. Since this is not an unblock request, I will not respond further. Sandstein 17:41, 15 September 2020 (UTC
Blocked
I have blocked you as requested. Please take a good break and come back refreshed after 2 weeks. I will leave your permissions unchanged, and you can request changes if you come back to editing. To get calm editing done, I recommend spelling fixing. You get a lot of thanks for little work. If your account is compromised, do not hesitate in letting administrators know here. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:36, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi. I just saw your block request. First I thought the requested block was due to wikistress. If you want to avoid wikistress, I highly recommend small/uncontroversial edits like Graeme suggested above. Also, making maintenance edits is good. Every PTSD presents it differently. So if you can, I recommend WP:AWB, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Check Wikipedia. It will decrease your interaction with other editors, almost to none; and it will also keep you occupied. It will help distract your mind from RL. Let me know if you need help with it. FWIW, I also have PTSD. By the way, I had seen you around in WP:RM, and I have a script which strikes out the usernames of blocked users. I hope to see you around soon. Regards, —usernamekiran (talk)06:49, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
Awwww, Megan - I'm so sorry you're feeling stressed, but I can relate. I hope you know that you can always talk to me, at any time. My email account is active. Enjoy the time away because you have done a lot in a short amount of time. There are no deadlines here on WP. I'm of the mind that a well-written, engaging article that is worthy of promotion to WP:FA is better than a thousand mediocre articles. AtsmeTalk📧22:58, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
@Atsme:, @Usernamekiran:. Thanks guys for the helpful advice, hopefully i am going to get better soon. I just hope i dont fall into severe depression. Best regards Megan☺️Talk to the monster 16:46, 15 September 2020)
Graeme Bartlett Hello, thanks for blocking me as requested, I am now asking for an early unblock, my block is set to expire tomorrow but I have to save an article from being deleted. I will no longer get into feuds with other editors content disputes e.t.c. I am going to do gnoming, to maintenance work and maybe maybe improve articles to their best. Thanks everyone else so much. It feels comforting when other people who don’t know you personally care for you that much. I’ll forever be in debt. Megan☺️Talk to the monster21:37, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Ponyo, Do you know what you just did, I was copying that entire section to be achieved. You could have waited for while to know my intention, what’s wrong with you? Don’t I have freedom to achieve my talk page. The conversation was over and I was recording the entire section to an achieve with a new section. Now you just scraped of a reply to another user. Seriously? Megan☺️Talk to the monster21:44, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Would you mind doing a page swap between the articles WLXX and WVLK-FM? Both stations swapped callsigns on September 4th, and someone has not moved the pages to the correct call sign yet. I was trying to do a page swap myself between these two pages following the guidelines on Wikipedia. The links to the articles are right here: WLXX-FMWVLK-FM Thank you! [1]
As I was about to send in the request, someone else swapped the pages I was talking about, but thank you anyway for the advice on how to request page swaps!
Graeme Bartlett, Yeah it was refreshing, I am planning to dive into maintenance work and fixing typos in articles to avoid more stress. I also realized that I had anger issues, so to avoid it I have to stay away from content disputes. Otherwise thanks for the welcome, your so kind. Megan☺️Talk to the monster12:19, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
Megan - it's good to see you back! If you ever need an ear to bend, I'm just a mouse click away. Friendly advice - make it a point to enjoy your time here, and you can start by not pushing yourself so hard. There are no deadlines on WP...take your time, and make it a fun experience - maybe visit The museum, or scroll slowly down my UTP whenever you're feeling frustrated or under pressure. AtsmeTalk📧13:37, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
Atsme, FYI, I always stalk your talk page to get some good laugh. Thank you so much for your support here, I’ll forever be grateful Atsme. I think you should also consider running for an RFA because you can make a good admin. Cheers Megan☺️Talk to the monster13:41, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
I'm glad to see you back too Megan. I always saw you editing various articles, and I was a little worried to see that you requested a block. I'm happy that you are doing okay now. Also, as I was writing this comment, I saw that you accepted my page move request. What a coincidence! Anyway, I wish you the best. And yes, I'll take care of the links. Scorpions13256 (talk) 08:39, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Thank You for Your kind help with "Ostoja Dnaielewicz". I did not understand what You ment with "necessary claen up". Is there anything more that I should do? Im not so familiar with this. Camdan (talk) 12:20, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Camdan I’ve looked at everything and their is nothing to be worried about. The links are intact since the editor who moved it never updated the links. Otherwise hope your doing well and Happy editing! Best regards Megan☺️Talk to the monster14:44, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Yes, except one change that i reverted, it all seems fine, thank you! :) There is another issue of redirecting that is older but that I just gave up editing on en:wiki for years because of some people that do redirect or remove large amount of text without any notice. You migh have suggestion for me how to proceed? Art. Clan Ostoja was redirected from Clan of Ostoja but I see consensus in this matter in the cathegories here. You see how almost all other heraldic Clan's are named and I therefore think that its consensus to do so. Futhermore, as by discussion several years ago, proper Cathegory name should not be "Polish heraldic families" but "Polish heraldic clan's" as "Heraldic family" was renamed in proper way (by suggestion of the Scolars) to "Heraldic Clan". Also here, this cathegory name should be changed. I would be grateful for your advice in both subjects. Camdan (talk) 14:15, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Camdan, Ahhh, interesting, I suggest you start an RM discussion on these to see what other editors think. If you made a request at WP:RM/T on these, it would probably be challenged. I don’t have much knowledge on the subject but your arguments are strong especially if consensus was established years ago. Cheers Megan☺️Talk to the monster12:33, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
I did not made any request, but I understand that I need to make a tag on talk page "Clan Ostoja" and there also post why I wish to redirect? How to proceed with the Cathegory issues? Regards, Camdan (talk) 14:50, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Camdan, Start an RM on the categories talk page and let it run for the seven day period, if there is no opposition raised, a page mover or an uninvolved editor will make the move for you if there is no opposition. I hope that helps, Cheers Megan☺️Talk to the monster12:58, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you again. I cant find where to rename cathegory. Its not working on cathegory (Polish heraldic families". Can You help me to do that? Camdan (talk) 15:38, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Camdan, I misunderstood everything, I am really sorry. Please start a discussion at WP:CFD which is the correct location for renaming categories. I am really sorry for this, just realized it right now when trying to fix the problem. Hope that helps. Best regards Megan☺️Talk to the monster14:10, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Oh, no problems at all, Im very gratefull for Your kind help! I fixed tag on the cathegory talk page here but im still not sure i did right. Can you check and advise? Camdan (talk) 15:38, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Done! Hope its ok! Many thankx to all help! :) On talk page of cathegory "Polish heraldic families" - should I remove or change the tag or is it all ok now? I ask because it links to other site and not to the page where You posted request of changing Camdan (talk) 16:46, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Fixed, Everything seems okay, the tag on the categories links to the correct place, I have closed the discussion on the talk page too since this discussion is taking place at WP:CFD. Best regards Megan☺️Talk to the monster14:52, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi,
I saw that you were listed as a trainer at WP:CVUA and since that is the area I've decided to foucs my efforts on I would like to ask you to train me.
Sincerely, AsarteaTalk|Contribs14:57, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
P.S. Unrelated but why is there a bouncing logo on your userpage :)?
Asartea, Sure I’ll love to take you over at CVUA, you seem like a promising candidate from your recent contributions. I’ll start the training page and ping you when I am done. For the mean time, you can read WP:Vandalism to help you get started. I have also noted some concerns which I am going to share with you at the training page. Thank you for your interest in CVU and welcome to Wikipedia.Concerning the bouncing ball on my userpage, i wanted to customize my userpage for a greater look,that’s why I added it there. Cheers Megan☺️Talk to the monster15:13, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Trevor Milton Sexual Misconduct
Could you be a bit more specific about what in my edit is a "not reliable source". Last time I checked the Wall Street Journal counts as a reliable source. Much of this situation has played out on twitter but the actual details were confirmed by the WSJ. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deltagammaz (talk • contribs) 21:07, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
Deltagammaz, Hello and welcome to Wikipedia, Wikipedia has strict policies on biographies of living people. You added sensitive content to the article of which most were unsourced or were poorly sourced I.e Twitter is not a reliable source. Please look for more reliable sources to your claims or else your edit may be reverted by another editor. To help with that see WP:V.

Regarding the changes on Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Page
Thank you for closing the RM. A bot has taken care of pages such as Leppaevaara railway station which were briefly double redirects. Most incoming links already use the new titles, and the few which don't are NOTBROKEN. Related Wikidata seems to have sorted itself out automatically. Certes (talk) 11:32, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
