editDraft:Pushpak Viman
editHello reviewer, Thank for reviewing my article, but I have decided to get it reviewed again as, for example, if an article on a brand of cars talks about the vehicles under it, it would only mention the main features, history, etc and not about the whole thing. It also mentions the “main article” for the particular vehicle, which allows readers to view the full description. Hope you understand !!! Marvelcanon1 (talk) 12:54, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted
editHi RPSkokie, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! – Joe (talk) 08:46, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

editI might have spooked you by mentioning the oversight committee in COIN, but it's really a run-of-the-mill thing. You did the right thing by removing the text and throughout the COIN thread up until this point you have acted in good faith. I appreciate you bringing up the issue at COIN for it to be addressed with, and hope this cute lil' cat will help you feel the mistake isn't that big, after all.

- The way there is paved with good intentions, WP:AGF, and a willingness to both admit to and learn from mistakes. From what I see you're certainly on that path and I hope you're not discouraged now.

Santacruz ⁂ Please ping me! 11:49, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- RPSkokie, I just want to make sure that you have requested oversight. It would look best for you if you do it before someone else does. If you are unsure about how, see WP:RFO. Happy New Year! --SVTCobra 13:47, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Apologize
editI am sorry if my word is too harsh but I am very disappointed as I am not promoting Pixelfed. I use several sources to make this article since there is not lots of sources discussing Pixelfed yet. I wish you understand those facts. Thank you. Bertverse (talk) 13:19, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
- It is okay. I can understand your frustration. May I suggest you to have a word with User:A._C._Santacruz. She always helps me, she might help you too. RPSkokie (talk) 13:24, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the ping RPSkokie. I have added some comments on the draft talk page. I hope they're helpful to you Bertverse and you stick around. We always need more editors helping to improve our coverage of FOSS. For further drafts, I'd also recommend you ask at the relevant wikiprojects (e.g. WikiProject Software) before submitting the draft for approval as they'll gladly help you improve it. Remember that draft approval reviewers are assessing the content, and not you, so if you're feeling offended or down from the criticism just take a day off and come back to it later :) Santacruz ⁂ Please ping me! 13:42, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
I apologize for my unprofessional attitude. I would like to ask for help at WikiProject Software but since I am a newbie here, I do not know how to address to them. 😅 Bertverse (talk) 14:01, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
- I think I'll move this to your talk page, Bertverse. Santacruz ⁂ Please ping me! 14:10, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
- Also, don't feel to bad, Bertverse. We've all been excited newbies at some point! Thankfully, I don't bite newcomers :) Santacruz ⁂ Please ping me! 14:18, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
Thank you User:A._C._Santacruz for the assistance and I feel shameful for my words to User:RPSkokie. I wish he/she wants to forgive me. Bertverse (talk) 14:34, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
- Already forgiven. God bless you always. RPSkokie (talk) 14:57, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
Bajaj Allianz General Insurance reirect on page
editDear RP Sokokie
This is cricfandream here and I work in the online marketing team for Bajaj Allianz General Insurance. We have noticed that a few weeks back you have directed our Wiki page to Bajaj Finserv. Although we come under the same parent company, we are different from bajaj finserv and have a proper license to sell Insurance products apart from life to our customers. Since the two companies are different, we would request you to kindly remove this redirection and re instate our original page. We can discuss this if you want. Awaiting your reply

I strongly discourage you from editing affected Bajaj articles directly, and if you want any changes to be made please propose those on article talk page(s) Talk:Bajaj Finserv instead.

Hi, I am new to Wikipedia and this is my very first page. I tried to add as many citations and possible but somehow there are gaps. Can you please guide me or help me to get my first page published? I will gain some experience and this wont happen in my next articles.
I will be grateful.
Hello, I hope you're well. I am currently drafting this article -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Basis_Global_Technologies.
First, full disclosure, I am a paid employee of the organization that is the subject of the article, and this is disclosed in my profile.
You left a comment saying it was not accepted and the reasons were because (1) it read like an advertisement and that (2) it did not show significant coverage about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject.
Regarding reason #1, I have seen articles of other companies in our peer set, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pubmatic, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenX_(company), and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criteo, that have similar type of language to describe their business. I acknowledge that their general description of their business up top is much shorter that my article. Do you have guidance on what parts of the language I use that is not acceptable?
Regarding reason #2, I have cited all of the subject's major events and claims via 57 articles from notable industry media outlets. These are trade outlets and so are generally more familiar in the advertising industry. However, they are media outlets that typically garner thousands of unique viewers each month. In comparison to the other companies I mentioned above that have published wikipedia pages, many of the outlets from which I have cited in my entry are the same. Some of the citations I include are from fairly mainstream outlets such as Fortune, Forbes, Bloomberg, and Crain's Chicago Business. Do you have guidance on what types of sources I need beyond the business and trade media outlets that are used for the entry?
Thanks for reviewing.

Hello, RPSkokie
I am writing concerning your rejection of my review of the draft page for BuildSoft. It appears as if you have not thoroughly checked the new independent, reputable 3rd party references I have added. You have chosen almost the same reason for rejection as the person before you. I believe I have respected the rules to be neutral and to add independent, notable, reputable references to show the verifiability and notability of the BuildSoft subject. I have not seen pertinent comments on text or references from your side to understand why you rejected the page. Can you please let me know the exact places in the page where I do not conform to the rules?
Thank you and kind regards,
Alexandra

- @AlexandraN01 WP:ROUTINE, routine news coverage as announcements are not a sufficient basis for an article. RPSkokie (talk) 03:29, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
- AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
- The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
Regarding your decline advise on Wikipedia Draft:Shubhra_Mohanty
editHello, RPSkokie, Greetings! I am writing concerning your rejection of my review of the draft page for Shubhra_Mohanty. Please forgive my persistence, but I have read up the WP:GNG, and I truly have reason to believe that I have respected the rules to be neutral and to add independent, notable, reputable references to show the verifiability and notability of the subject. The several references in the article presently shows significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (quoting from your comment).
- As many as 4 verifiable live references from The_Economic_Times, Business_Standard, Outlook_(Indian_magazine) and Zee Business (operated by Zee_Media_Corporation#Current_channels) (All of which India's leading and very respectable print/online news agencies). In line with WP:GNG, these are indeed "published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject".
- As many as 2 verifiable live references from Tofler India (see https://www.tofler.in/about) and Outstanding Speakers Bureau (see Raheel_Khursheed) (also see https://outstandingspeakersbureau.in/). In line with WP:GNG, these are indeed "published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject". Both of these sources are heavily referenced in several other articles in Wikipedia.
- As many as 4 verifiable live references from "published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject", in line with WP:GNG, viz., Mid-Day, Daily News & Analysis (DNA) - run by Zee_News, Yahoo!_News.
Can you please let me know the exact places in the page where I do not conform to the rules? Just need to understand.
Moreover, with deep humbleness, I would like to cite some examples: The following articles are either supported by similar, fewer in number, or comparitively ill-referenced than Draft:Shubhra_Mohanty Article - that you have declined. Please help me understand, if Draft:Shubhra_Mohanty doesn't deserve a place in Wikipedia, how can articles like the following deserve to have a place in the Wikipedia?
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attin_Bhalla
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annelies_Strba

I can cite a several more examples, but I am sure I have been able to express my point.
NOTE: I have nothing personal against these above-mentioned articles. I am just saying - if these can be published part of Wikipedia, why not Shubhra Mohanty? Would appreciate an early response and suitable action. --Wadlin13 (talk) 19:00, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
Re: AFC: Hacker Noon
editRe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Hacker_Noon
Hello there,
HackerNoon has had articles written either about them in detail – or with notable mentions- in secondary, independent, reliable sources since 2018.
These sources include:
The Guardian' (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/sep/21/extreme-biohacking-tech-guru-who-spent-250000-trying-to-live-for-ever-serge-faguet),

ReadWrite (https://readwrite.com/2019/07/17/hacker-noon-rips-out-mediums-software-replaces-it-with-their-own/)
, and more (linked below). HackerNoon does not only meet the basic criteria of Wikipedia notability but surpasses it.
Further to this, HackerNoon is frequently linked to as a notable resource in publications like:

“Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added”
On what grounds should additional sources be added?
According to your own policies(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability): “There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected.” This post not only meets that but surpasses it.
Holding this post to standards unreasonably higher than seemingly the overwhelming majority of Wikipedia articles seems to be an act of bad faith.
This post is very comparable to companies of a similar size:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoinDesk;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markup and the language isn’t far off from what appears in a company from your featured articles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAE_Systems
“Reads like an advert”
I was previously advised to simply summarize what sources have said about the Company by a senior editor. I have done this. The post is tastefully sized and comparable to approved Wikipedia pages of companies of a similar size.
If there is a phrase(s) that needs to be changed, the iteration effort is likely to be minimal. It’s unlikely to be outside the scope of suggestions a reviewer can make. Feel free to tweak it.
In what way are the below sources not adequate for their intended purpose? Please be specific. I’m quite happy to clarify in detail how they qualify.

Which sources do you find to not be independent of the subject?
The vast majority of the sources linked are indeed independent from the Company team. If you don’t like a particular source you, as an editor, should probably be open to simply removing it from the list. I included extra to showcase how many people recognize this Company around the internet.
Some sources — especially regarding funding— are simply used to showcase a statement of fact. I have seen this done on Wikipedia time and time again.
(Actually, the idea to exclude such things in the honor of accuracy seems questionable. You can see how this stipulation impacts pages like SpaceX – where instead of linking to the specs on their company website, misinformed ‘valid’ external sources are linked to leading to lack of accurate technical information.)
Furthermore, it is well within the interest of Wikipedia to note publicly sourced donations/investments for companies. In honor of public transparency. Especially if these funding campaigns were mentioned by multiple outlets. Again, this information has been provided.
I have followed your policies, I have operated in an honest fashion, I'm very surprised with the way my post was treated.

- Multiple past deletions. WP:CITEKILL. Seek help at WP:TEA. RPSkokie (talk) 06:02, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Hello there, this response seems very inconsistent. You rejected the post inappropriately based on ‘notability grounds’ and asked for more sources. Now you are listing entirely different reasonings, one of which is ‘WP:CITEKILL’ which is the exact opposite of your initial request, to "provide more sources."
- You further have failed to provide adequate sources to back up the , ‘multiple deletions’ rationale as being a valid one for rejecting a post.
- I would like to encourage you to review the conduct required within your own organization: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines) Your conduct seems somewhat inconsistent with what is advised and required within Wikipedia’s own standards. Especially when it comes to editor conduct.

Re: Proposed article for "ETR (Enterprise Technology Research)"
editThank you for your quick review of this draft article on ETR, RPSKokie! As someone who was quite active as a Wikipedia editor a decade ago (but with a username I cannot log in to anymore, hence the new username), I understand and appreciate the time you put into improving the quality of Wikipedia. I've made some significant changes to the article and respectfully offer a rationale for those changes below, and I request your re-review of the article when you are able.
As requested, I added several citations/references to support the content of the article, including links to international media coverage mentioning ETR, academic papers that cite ETR research, an NGO report citing ETR data, and major investor blogs citing ETR data. While the mentions of ETR and its survey data are often brief in these many references, the citations are substantive and not in passing. Many of the articles referenced are about, say, work-from-home trends brought on by the pandemic, and then ETR (and sometimes another one or two reputable research and advisory firms like Gartner) are cited early in the article as a way to establish in objective terms that the work-from-home trend is indeed happening and how pervasive it is. Then the rest of the article expounds on that. The role of market research firms like ETR is to provide this raw, scientific data to industry analysts, investors, journalists, policymakers, and academics so they may build their own arguments and commentary from that foundation of facts. Any media article that would make excessive mention of a particular research firm's findings would be suspect, actually, making the media outlet seem like a paid partner of the research firm.
As for noteworthiness, I'm unsure what constitutes enough references, because when I look at other marketing research and polling firms with Wikipedia entries I see a wide range in quality and quantity of references. From this list of marketing research firms, for instance, you have some fairly robust pages like those from (rather undisputedly the most noteworthy research and advisory firm in IT) Gartner with 17 references to a mix of major and minor sources, where they are often also mentioned briefly (though not "in passing" as I argue above). But then you have the likes of Decision Analyst that, despite being around for 44 years and with 150 employees, has one minor mention in one small local newspaper as a reference. And 12-yr-old Canadian polling firm Abacus Data with just five references, all of them to now-dead URLs. The best solution here, of course, is just to bring the quality up for all of these firms, but in the meantime, it seems an uneven set of standards to bar a firm like ETR from getting to have a page.
Finally, another editor came in right away and renamed the article from "ETR (Enterprise Technology Research)" to just "Enterprise Technology Research." The accurate name of the company is just "ETR," but given there are several uses of ETR on Wikipedia, I added the parenthetical to its former name. It would not be accurate to have the ETR entry exist only as "Enterprise Technology Research," and so I also would like that reverted back to the "ETR (Enterprise Technology Research)" format or something similar if possible. But I don't know how to undo that edit. Shall I talk to that editor separately or is that a fix you can do for me as well?
Thank you and I look forward to your reply! Darenbrabham (talk) 17:12, 4 March 2022 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Darenbrabham (talk • contribs) 17:10, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello
I am following up on a recent article that has been submitted regarding Robert Potter. The previous reviewer (Cabrils) advised that the article appeared to align with Wiki policies but that the references needed to be updated, which we did. The references we included are all reputable news organisations who verify the statements made in the document. I note that there are other wiki entries that also rely almost entirely on news articles as references (e.g. Vicki Xu). Further, we would be grateful for a specific example where you believe the tone is not neutral so we can fix it.

Wikipedia and copyright
edit Hello RPSkokie! Your additions to Ratna Chuli have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:52, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Diannaa I am sorry. It was really irresponsible of me to not check first if it was subject to copyright. RPSkokie (talk) 14:03, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
- Prose you find online is almost always copyright, and cannot be copied here. Under current copyright law, literary works are subject to copyright whether they are tagged as such or not. No registration is required, and no copyright notice is required. So please always assume that all material you find online is copyright until proven otherwise. Thanks,— Diannaa (talk) 14:06, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
Zapatilla
editThanks for all your input to Zapatilla (mountain). There just seemed something a bit strange about it to me, but it now looks fine. My attention was drawn to it by an editor who is currently working on identifying vast numbers of unsourced stubs not hitherto labelled as such, which then turn up in Category:Stubs which I check for stub-sorting. It has led me down quite a few rabbit-holes when something catches my attention as interesting or odd - but this was my first trip to Aragonese wiki. PamD 16:31, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

- @Beccaynr I have a simple question; kindly assist me with my comprehension. Given that there is a concern with inheriting notability or sharing notability, how useful is it to list the combined family wealth on an individual's page? RPSkokie (talk) 04:26, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi RPSkokie, thank you for following up - both subjects are in the billionaires category, and my understanding from the sources is that the only way to verify this is by including content about their shared net worth, because this is the only way their net worth is reported. Beccaynr (talk) 04:31, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Beccaynr Then, it is preferable to leave it unaltered until each person's net worth is disclosed by reputable sources. RPSkokie (talk) 04:42, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- And the currently available source also helps support their WP:BASIC notability, because
if the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability
, and it is not a trivial mention about the jointly-owned asset. Based on the sources in the articles, concerns about inherited notability do not appear to apply here, including because each person shares the asset. - It also seems unlikely that a jointly-owned business will produce individual net worths, which is another reason why including the reliable information that is available about their jointly-owned asset seems best. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 04:57, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Beccaynr Thanks for logical justification. I just updated the awards section and deleted non-notable ones. Please correct me if I made any errors. RPSkokie (talk) 05:08, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

editCopying within Wikipedia
edit Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Draft:INS Udaygiri (2022) into another page. 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. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:17, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

- Hi again! That's done in exactly the same way – the minimum is to attribute the source in your edit summary (something like "expand using content translated from the fr.wp page"), and that's probably sufficient for a few sentences. If you've translated a big chunk of material in a number of edits it's probably better to provide attribution using {{copied}}. If you have questions about this just ask away, I'll answer if I can.

- I'm sure that's fine. But I forgot to mention {{translated page}} – sorry about that! It's probably the best choice in such circumstances – it's flexible and covers a wide range of situations. I suggest using it. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:22, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Regarding Draft:Brunei Methanol Company
editHey, I hope you're doing well. I was wondering how was the article read like an advertisement. Despite that I have rewritten, rephrase and removed some I suspected of making it that way. Looking forward to your reply. Pang (talk) 14:01, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
Hello, thank you for reviewing my draft, but I wonder why you think my article is like an advertisement? In fact, I submitted this draft several times before with the same content, the reviewers did not consider my article to be an advertisement, but only suggested me to revise the references, because my article describe historical facts.
Regarding the references in the latest draft you reviewed, according to Wikipedia’s editorial rules, a self-published work can be used as a source when the statement concerns the source itself. So I added two self-published works. And I also added some pieces of news from well-known media which describing what happened from a third-party perspective, I think these sources can prove notability, because I believe they meet the requirements of independent, multiple and reliable sources.
Looking forward to your reply. Zxcvbnm123411 (talk) 06:07, 28 May 2022 (UTC)Zxcvbnm123411

Correction to previous election announcement
editJust a quick correction to the prior message about the 2022 MILHIST coordinator election! I (Hog Farm) didn't proofread the message well enough and left out a link to the election page itself in this message. The voting will occur here; sorry about the need for a second message and the inadvertent omission from the prior one. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:41, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
Require more details on the article which was rejected.
edit
Hi RPSkokie,
I recently wrote an article on Mr. Ravish Naresh, which got rejected. I wanted to create a bio for one of the reputed startup founders in India. I had taken notes from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binny_Bansal on how to format and present the content accordingly.
I am not sure I find the article as an advertisement. Can you please put out the pointers which have come out as it is? This will help me to edit the article.
Regards, Deepankar
Moving of Tilak Weerasooriya to Draft Space
editHi, Any prominent physician or medical academic/professional in Sri Lanka can verify Prof Weerasooriya's credentials. Prof Weerasooriya was a former Dean of the University of Ruhuna (Faculty of Medicine), and also a Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic) - Kotelawala Defence University.
Additionally, he pioneered in Sri Lanka, the first of many, including an Andrology Clinic, Sperm Bank, and National IVF Lab. As shown by his several published research papers and links (I cited 63 links as references, including news articles and international & local publications examples - ResearchGate, PubMed, Asian Journal of Andrology, Springer Nature, The Ceylon Medical Journal, ASIAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACOGNOSY, Informa UK Limited).
One of his colleagues was Susirith Mendis, and he worked with G. P. Samarawickrama.
Also, at the Kotelawala Defence University, the other Vice Chancellors are also included on Wikipedia, examples being ,Major General Milinda Peiris RWP RSP VSV,and Major General Sumith Balasuriya, USP, ndc, IG, SLA.
Kindly let me know, as to how this article to fall short, even with the 63 citations. Since I have seen plenty of articles with less citations, and especially not in the field of science and medicine.

edit Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Raydann (talk) 07:40, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Raydann Thank you. Edit summaries are something that I include in the majority of my revisions. However, it's possible that I overlooked it in a number of different pages and drafts.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ghazal Alagh
editHello RPSkokie,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Ghazal Alagh for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.
If you don't want Ghazal Alagh to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors
editDear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.
We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. NoahTalk 03:03, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

- @Gaargi Puri The award you mentioned is not noteworthy in and of itself. You can refer to this essay article under the heading Notability (awards and medals). RPSkokie (talk) 08:13, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
- You reverted all my edits. It seems like you want to show me that you are an old editor and you are capable to do anything on Wikipedia. Isn't it vandalism? If (ASU + GSV Summit 2019 Power of Women Award) is non notable, then why you are not removing from here: Cindy Mi? Gaargi Puri (talk) 08:28, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Gaargi Puri Don't take it personally. By sharing some editorial and instructional advice on your talk page, I have tried to make you feel more welcome. But since you are depicting a confrontational behavior, I would suggest you WP:TEA for more help. RPSkokie (talk) 08:38, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
- I don't want to hurt you, RPSkokie. But I'm just curious as to whether Wikipedia's policy is uniform for all entries. Why is the (ASU + GSV Summit 2019 Power of Women Award) mentioned in Cindy Mi's article, as you indicated, it is unremarkable? I asked you again, but you didn't respond. Gaargi Puri (talk) 08:45, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Gaargi Puri (talk) 08:55, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Other than writing about the popularity of the event (which can be removed if you feel this crosses the line- I can see if this section may), can you elaborate on any other passages that read like an advertisement. I do not feel this is a fair comment as the rest is written largely as a 'list of history' and is fairly nondescript.
Kataklik Kangri
editHi, you claim at the talk page of Kataklik Kangri that you translated the article from German Wikipedia. But the article seriously contradicts German Wikipedia, transposing the locations of the summits. Also note that the article states both I and II have prominences of over 1500 metres, but this is not possible because they are connected by a high ridge that does not drop more than 700 metres below the height of wither summit. My opinion is that German Wikipedia is correct, but the sources are contradictory and I have not been able to uncover any conclusive proof. Viewfinder (talk) 23:24, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Viewfinder Thank you very much for pointing out this discrepancy. Even though I used the best source I could find (PeakVisor), I put in the wrong prominence values for Katalik Kangri II at first. I just corrected it. RPSkokie (talk) 03:51, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- I think that there is a better source than PeakVisor here but more sources support the current version. Maybe a dispute tag would be in order. Viewfinder (talk) 16:14, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- Even though I created the Katalik Kangri page, you can edit it as you see fit. I have faith in your editing skills. RPSkokie (talk) 16:22, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Fowzieh Khalili (1978).jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Fowzieh Khalili (1978).jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:03, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted
editHi RPSkokie. 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. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. signed, Rosguill talk 15:22, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

editHey RPSkokie! Just a reminder that when you draftify an article, you should nominate the resulting redirect for R2 speedy deletion. You can automate that using this script. Thanks for your contributions! Schminnte (talk • contribs) 14:22, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Also, please remember to check for copyright violations before draftifying. In the case of Tissa Wijeratne, this was a pretty clear copyvio and should have been nominated for G12 speedy deletion instead. Thanks, Schminnte (talk • contribs) 14:25, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks @Schminnte for a genuine help. RPSkokie (talk) 08:37, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Girijan Cooperative Corporation Limited - GCC
editHello RPSkokie,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Girijan Cooperative Corporation Limited - GCC for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.
If you don't want Girijan Cooperative Corporation Limited - GCC to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Elaboration needed on express declined Draft:Disruption_Network_Lab
editHi User:RPSkokie! I see you were really fast to decline Draft:Disruption_Network_Lab without IMHO good arguments. I see this is outside of your primary focus as editor, while I work in the field and I am focused on NGOs.
I am interested in why you think this one does not deserve a Wikipedia page after almost 2 decades of existances, bunch of important media articles discussing their conferences and with prominent partners and guests involved. I understand that first draft was using a lot of text from web, but this one is not, so please either present precise arguments or pass on the judgement to people who are close to this field.
I would also hope you consider your mode of working in general that article was proposed by novice editor and declining articles without instructing them feels very unwelcoming and might even feel as hostility. As Wikipedia has declining number of editors and much of them report estrangment due to this kind of semi-automated interaction, I hope you would not be as hasty. As a person who is publicly out with BP1, IMHO you should be even more sensitive to potential negative feelings and frsutrations of newbies. No?
Kind regards --Zblace (talk) 16:37, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Zblace NGOs also should adhere to the WP:NCORP guidelines. Additionally, they must meet the criteria outlined in WP:ORGCRIT, WP:ORGDEPTH, and WP:SIRS, which, as it stands now, they do not fully meet. I kindly request that you consider revising your draft and submitting it for another review. There are experienced reviewers available who can provide guidance. If you require expert assistance, please don't hesitate to post your query at WT:AFC. Your efforts to meet these guidelines will be greatly appreciated. RPSkokie (talk) 08:20, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- @RPSkokie you are doing the same thing again. Ignoring my request for specific and concrete feedback and throwing vague observations as it stands now, they do not fully meet. This is disrespectful of time and effort of others. If article not-fully meets all the criteria, then it should be given, which part exactly is problematic. Please respond with concrete, detailed and specific feedback. Thank you! -- Zblace (talk) 08:30, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Zblace I want to extend my apologies if my previous message may have inadvertently caused any discomfort. Nonetheless, my earlier clarification appropriately directs you to the relevant guidelines that must be adhered to. To gain a clearer understanding, I would respectfully suggest visiting WT:AFC for further assistance. RPSkokie (talk) 12:02, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

editYour account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have a financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must:
- Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
- State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
- Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future.
- I confirm that I have read and understand the Terms of Use and the rules about disclosing paid edits.
- I confirm that I have not received any compensation for my edits, and I want to assure you that I do not possess any conflicts of interest with the subjects I have written about. Since it's a CheckUser block, I would like to inform that there are multiple blocks against the IP address/IP range (dynamic) on which I am currently logged on and, it will expire on 01:10, 17 April 2026. As a result, my edits might easily be grouped with other problematic edits originating from users who are also using the same IP address. Its quite an unfortunate situation, I should have had opted for an IP block exemption. Therefore, I respectfully request a reconsideration of my account's reactivation after another check.
- Being a diligent editor, I made an effort to abide by Wikipedia's guidelines and avoid editing pages which are remotely controversial. Furthermore, I am committed to heeding the administrator's concluding remarks concerning the unblocking request. RPSkokie (talk) 11:48, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- This is a good start, RPSkokie, but you'll have to make a formal unblock request for admins to be alerted to your statements. An unblock request will list this page in a category of requests that some admins regularly check while most may not have this page Watchlisted and may not even know that you were blocked and what the circumstances were. Unfortunately, due to proxies and our blocking bots which are very active, the master Block log is almost impossible to monitor. Liz Read! Talk! 22:55, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:K2: The Savage Mountain
editHello, RPSkokie. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "K2: The Savage Mountain".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply 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.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Hey man im josh (talk) 12:23, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

New pages patrol newsletter
editHello RPSkokie,
Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!
October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.
PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.
Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.
Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
