User:Ravensfire

Hello Respected editor, there is an user name Ravensfire doing wrong edits for increasing his number of edits please review his edits, he is placing random tags on pages for deletation. He is distroying Wikipedia pages. First he remove sources then he is removing data and after 2-3 days he is Using deletation Tag on that pages. I think he is doing this for money. This is not acceptable. Please review his account. This is totally wrong and against to the Wikipedia guidelines. Fahadsamual78 (talk) 05:05, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see any problem in their edits – they're just helping us remove spam and non-notable people from our Wikipedia and their help is definitely appreciated. Fahadsamual78, in future, you should put the template {{AN-notice}} on talk pages of editors who are involved in a topic on the administrators' noticeboard. --Ferien (talk) 21:44, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is interesting. I'm guessing that many of the articles Fahadsamual78 is complaining about are related to the "IP range advertising" discussion above. Many had similar issues - highly promotional, use of paid articles as sources and sources that never mentioned the article subject or the information they should have supported. After the range was blocked, I've seen articles created by brand new accounts that end in 2 or 3 numbers, with their only edit being a full article created, with sources, correct formatting and decent layout. All being very promotional in tone. I'm wondering if these accounts are all connected, as this feels like a paid editing group. Ravensfire (talk) 18:32, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

An example created today is Deepak Thanwala. Brand new editor, one edit, uses sources, article layout - it's just highly promotional in tone with some questionable sources. Borderline notability, but needs some significant cleaning. With the similar MO as the blocked IP range, maybe a CU could look into this? Ravensfire (talk) 20:11, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Main Page Idea

What if we made an "On This Day" section of the Main Page, like on enwiki? I think it could be an interesting idea. QuicoleJR (talk) 23:20, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It'd be nice, but I'm not sure if it would work. If we were to have the same facts as enwiki's today, only 2 of the bold articles in the facts out of 5 exist here. It appears it would be a little better than DYK in terms of maintenance as once we've done all the dates for a year, we would only have to occasionally update them, but actually getting a good amount of articles for all those dates in the first place would be challenging. --Ferien (talk) 23:44, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. Maybe when the site reaches 100K articles we can revisit this idea. QuicoleJR (talk) 12:36, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we do currently have 232,467 articles right now but it's more whether those articles are on topics that would work for On This Day, and whether those articles are a good quality to be on the main page. --Ferien (talk) 12:38, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tvactorcreator

Tvactorcreator has created Chitrak Shah earlier today. It originally was a very promotional article, full of marketing fluff and decidedly not simple english. It was tagged for speedy deletion by myself and an IP editor, both times removed by TVactorcreator. I did some cleanup on the article and added a notability tag. TVactorcreator removed that and we've gone back and forth over the tag, with some discussions on both of our talk page here and here. Would someone mind taking a look at this? From TVactorcreator's comments, they aren't willing to discuss this matter and will continue the disruptive editing. Thanks. Ravensfire (talk) 20:36, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see, IP address & you both are the same person. I may have added less sources, but the subject is country’s biggest developer of state in real estate. So he’s definitely notable. I agreed to your removal as I generated it through AI from news articles in the media, you can google Chitrak Shah and check under news section. Thats all, considering @Ravensfire edits he’s been only doing the tags and edits no contributions creatively. Tvactorcreator (talk) 20:41, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Tvactorcreator Except that the subject, as far as I can see, fails the general notability criteria. I have opened an RfD. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 22:11, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question about plagiarism

I have been looking for information on plagiarism on Simple English Wikipedia. Is there a policy or guideline that I could view? Barbara (talk) 21:20, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Barbara (WVS) While not addressing or mentioning plagiarism verbatim, there is a policy on copyright and copying content from Wikipedia (whether it's the Simple English Wikipedia or another Wikimedia project). Per WP:FOLLOW, the English Wikipedia's guidelines on plagiarism can also be used as a guideline here. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 22:16, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your quick response. Barbara (talk) 22:39, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Onkar Hase

Before renaming the page included an extra disambiguator, so I moved but at a close timing the redirect was deleted as QD G11, so I thought the same thing can be said for this page, but an IP user is repeating QD tag removal. MathXplore (talk) 09:49, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's an interesting comment from the IP in the history. "We are adding awards and achievements." I don't think that's an accident. Layout is similar to the IP ranges mentioned in "IP range advertising" above. Some odd sources- the Switzerland Post? Looking deeper, many of the "sources" are the same article, a clearly paid marketing piece. Most of these are pure junk sources masquerading as a real news site. This should be deleted. Ravensfire (talk) 11:50, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nearly every source was the same paid marketing article. I've pruned them out, removed the unsourced fluff and tagged as G11 (again). Ravensfire (talk) 13:53, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've quickly deleted the article as advertising. --Ferien (talk) 20:36, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
