Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Delhi moved to draftspace
editAn article you recently created, Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Delhi, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:

When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Agatha Christie bio edit
editHi Gryffindor,
Thanks for the recent addition of the link to 'Dame' on the Agatha Christie bio page. As the link is also provided above Agatha's picture to the right on that page I'm hoping you would agree to leave the initial 'Dame' in the text unlinked please - I think it just looks better to have that initial presentation of her full name and title all in bold and unlinked. What do you think?
In this context, the same could be said for the linked 'DBE' which also appears with the picture and is also essentially linked later in the first paragraph of the page. Can we remove that link in the first line of the bio too? RLO1729 (talk) 19:53, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello! You moved this page from "Jo-an (teahouse)" back in 2017 -- this appears to be an error, because the reading is じょあん (syllables: jo-a-n), not じょうあん (syllables: jo-o-a-n). I wanted to make you aware of this, in case for example you had the misconception that everywhere "jo" appears it should be "jō". Imaginatorium (talk) 04:50, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
Sanskrit terms in common use in English
editHi, I note your recent edits. The criterion for using italics for a term is that it is definitely seen as foreign rather than English. This means that terms borrowed from other languages which are in wide use and effectively assimilated into English, like Divan (Persian), Chaise longue (French), Influenza (Italian), Yoga and Asana (Sanskrit) and so on are not italicised. Etymology alone is no guide to this: English has thousands of once-foreign words in its dictionaries. I do hope this is clear. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:27, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi Chiswick,
The rule is stated here MOS:FOREIGNITALIC. Asana is not a term that is generally known or understood in English, unlike words like pizza or spaghetti despite their non-English origins. Thank you. Gryffindor (talk) 17:33, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Gryffindor, I know the rule, but Asana is a well-known term in English and has been in rather wide use for at least the past 50 years, if not 100 (Ngram). Merriam-Webster assures me that the term was first used in English in 1811, indeed, and since the advance of modern postural yoga from the 1920s by Yogendra, Kuvalayananda and others, it has become very familiar. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:39, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
Questions, answers from Talk page of Deadwood bonsai techniques
editHi, Gryffindor;
I've posted an answer to a question you left on Talk: Deadwood bonsai techniques. The answer's on the same page following your entry. It's probably supererogatory now, as I saw when researching my answer that you had already moved forward with my favorite suggestion. I hope that addresses the question for you. If not, I look forward to your feedback or other involvement. Thanks!
Orphaned non-free image File:Austrian Trade Union Federation (OGB) logo.PNG
editThanks for uploading File:Austrian Trade Union Federation (OGB) logo.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BegbertBiggs (talk) 19:13, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
Sanskrit terms adopted into English and widely used are not subject to MOS Foreign
editHi, and thank you for your efforts to standardise word formatting on Wikipedia; many of your edits are certainly helpful.
However, there are numerous terms in Yoga and Hinduism that have been widely used for many years, and can be found in the major English dictionaries (such as Oxford, Merriam-Webster).
For instance, Brahmin has been used in English for centuries; from the 15th century as "Brahman", from the early 19th as "Brahmin".
I have previously explained this kind of usage to you, and the logic involved: when a term is widely used in English, it is no longer "foreign" whatever its etymology.
To save having the same discussion at 100 yoga pages, let's discuss this please at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yoga.
I am sorry to say that repeated application of your approach, given that you have been told the matter is, to say the least, not agreed with other editors, is becoming disruptive. I will revert those of your edits that are clearly contrary to policy because the words are no longer "foreign", and hope very much that you will understand the reason for this. Many thanks for your co-operation. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:38, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:German crafts
editA tag has been placed on Category:German crafts requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Delhi, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.
You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.
Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:45, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
User generated content
editHi Gryffindor,
Wikipedia's "General Disclaimer" explains an issue that is also relevant to other user-generated websites, such as Fandom/Wikia. While the YouTube links, coming from the official channel of the series, might be fine as primary sources, the Fandom links appear to be unsuitable as references (WP:USERG/WP:RSP). The main issue with the YouTube links is probably their unsuitability to prove if Yu-Gi-Oh is really relevant to the Ikebana article. It would probably be easy to compile a huge list of series that contain Ikebana. Wikipedia, as a tertiary source, should ideally not rely purely on primary sources. Adding something to an article only because it appears in a TV series is likely unnecessary.
Thanks and best regards,

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Kumagai Morikazu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article.

Edits to Japanese arts and culture pages
editHi - I noticed you've recently conducted a lot of copyedits to various Japanese arts and culture pages, such as kimono and maiko.
These edits seem to be italicising words such as kimono, maiko and obi. However - as in MOS:FOREIGNITALIC - these words don't need italicising.
I appreciate your good faith edits, I really do, but these words all fall under loanwords that have common use enough not to be italicised. Some terms do - for example, furisode does in the kimono article, as it's not a common term and not well-recognised. But kimono doesn't. It's a well-acknowledged loan word. I think I've already spent time unitalicising some of the words in these pages before now, to be honest.
I'd really appreciate it if you could undo your edits, as I'm on mobile and genuinely cannot figure out how to.
I'm sorry to leave such a killjoy edit on your Talk page, but I had to say something. Thank you for your efforts anyway, though. They're appreciated and it's always nice to have someone else help out on those pages. --Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 13:20, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Italic titles
editYou seem to be going mad adding these, even to uniquely English terms (Mezzotint) or those with uniquely English spellings (Aquatint). Please stop; it is nuisance having to revert them all.

Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Italics
editWhat is the justification for italics? Can you point me to a policy? I was not under the impression that common nouns of foreign origin should be italicized in titles. To me, it is incongruous with the capital letter. It makes it look like a title. Srnec (talk) 22:34, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- Came here wondering this as well and like Srnec I'm not convinced there is a need for any of the italics you've inserted. Organum in particular I've never seen italicized; Virelai, Ballade, Rondeau were never italicized in the sources I used to write F. Andrieu or Grimace. Additionally, by only italicizing the first sentence and title, you've created inconsistencies throughout the entirety of these various articles. Aza24 (talk) 00:04, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
- I haven't made up my mind on the italics yet, but you've made a few musical instrument articles inconsistent with their brethren. Jacqke (talk) 00:50, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Your edit to Emer Cooke has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. Re: [5]. As far as I can ell from the translation you copied a quote from a translated bare URL reference at www.ots.at without attributing the quote. I AGF this was an unintended mistake but it had in some ways a semi-serious misattribution of the source which affected its weight in the article in my opinion. Thankyou.

Maria Teresa infobox pic
editI’ve reverted you because (a) you are the one changing a long-standing image. The WP:ONUS is on you to get consensus for your change; (b) you have failed to join the talk page discussion on this. DeCausa (talk) 22:48, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
December 2021
editYour recent editing history at Maria Theresa shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 22:12, 9 May 2022 (UTC)On May 8th you created Aoi Oshitayashiki, citing a few Japanese sources. There was large overlap between machine translations of these sources and the article, in particular https://www.sumitomo-rd-mansion.jp/tokai/aoi/location03.html; here's a paragraph of the article compared to a machine translation of that source:
Article: The Higashi ward has prospered as a residence district lined with samurai houses since the Edo period. There are many temples, historical shrines, and sites connected to the Tokugawa family, and many business people and cultural people set up residence in this area east of Nagoya Castle.
The place name "Aoi" derives from the crest (mon) of the three-leaf aoi of the Tokugawa. The residence was built in 1679 under Tokugawa Mitsutomo (1625–1700), the second lord of the Owari Domain, stretching for about 64,000 tsubo as a place for rest and feasting. The vast estate featured a garden with a large pond and strolling paths in the south, with the residence in the centre, with another smaller garden with pond to the north. It was modified by successive lords from generation to generation to reflect the tastes of the times. In the era of the seventh lord Tokugawa Muneharu (1696–1764), a medicinal garden (Goyaku-en 御薬園) was established in the northwestern part to cultivate medicinal herbs such as ginseng.
Source translation: higashi ward has prospered as a residence district lined with samurai houses since the edo period. there are many temples, historical shrines, and temples connected to the tokugawa family, and many business people and cultural people have set up residences from the calm townscape, and the culture as a residential area has matured.
the place name of the address "aoi, higashi-ku" where this project is born is derived from the crest of the three-leaf aoi of the tokugawa family. in the past, this area was built in 1679 by mitsutomo tokugawa, the second lord of the owari domain, to build a vast "imperial residence" stretching for about 64,000 tsubo as a place for rest and feasting. the pond-spring strolling garden, which centers on the pond, has been modified by lords from generation to generation to reflect the tastes of the times. in the era of the 7th feudal lord, muneharu, there is also an episode in which a "medicinal garden" was established to cultivate medicinal herbs such as ginseng worshipped by the eighth shogun, yoshimune tokugawa.
Parts are directly copied, while others are closely phrased or are just rearranged. I understand that there is some confusion over whether or not translations of copyrighted material are still copyright violations (they are), but you have received some extensive advice and warning from Moonriddengirl back in 2014. These is also a CCI on you, Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Gryffindor has been open since October 2014, which has uncovered issues several issues, some of which date back to 2005. This has been a very long term issue, and I don't believe I have much choice other than blocking you in order to prevent future copyright violations. If you want to be unblocked, you must commit to no longer copying from sources and demonstrate a better understanding of copyright. Given the extent of issues here, I will notify the community at the administrators' noticeboard. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 22:12, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
Gryffindor (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Hallo User:Moneytrees, I find this block unnecessarily harsh, a message would have sufficed. Concerning the issues you raised from 2014 these date back to almost 10 years ago now, I take these issues very seriously and am not aware of further problems since then. Machine translation was not listed as something to be watched out for (unless I missed that mention somewhere) and until now I was not aware about it, thank you for pointing it out. I would like to re-draft the article and would you be able to take a look at it to make sure it fits the rules this time? Gryffindor (talk) 17:09, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
Accept reason:
Accept per rewrite of Aoi Oshitayashiki and discussion below. Moneytrees🍔(Talk) 22:00, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
Direct translations are derivative works and should not be copied in. The guidelines on copyright issues may not all explicitly say translations of copyrighted sources are not allowed, but they are included under the "do not copy text from other sources" umbrella. You can still edit the "User:" space, and could create a rewrite of the article at a subpage like User:Gryffindor/rewrite. I could even restore the references from the deleted article if you want me to. If you can create a rewrite with not copyright issues, it would do a lot in getting you unblocked. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 19:10, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
A concern I have here is also about using machine translations, even you write in your own words. I don't know if you speak Japanese or not, but if you don't and can't verify the translation is accurate yourself, you shouldn't be writing articles based on sources in a language you can't speak. Galobtter (pingó mió) 01:29, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
Rewrite
editI've checked the rewrite and it seems free of copyright issues, and I am considering unblocking. I would greatly appreciate it if you helped out at the CCI in some way, such as pointing out unattributed copies and articles with potential issues. Would you do that? Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 04:15, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you. Certainly, I would like everything to be in order as well. Gryffindor (talk) 21:40, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

The article Gaan people has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
I'm stumped honestly. The only mention I can make of such a people is in the works of travel writer James Dorsey, which leads me to believe he's either got the name wrong (charitable version) or that he lies like a rug (uncharitable version). I balk at using a single reference to support the existence of an entire ethnic group, especially a single source from a travel writer, not an ethnographer or similar academic.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}

Masanao of Kyoto
editHi there,
I am the author of the Masanao page. Just to let you know that the conventional way that this artist is mentioned is as follows:
‘Masanao of Kyoto’
This is because we do not know his actual name (‘Masanao’ was likely the artist name rather than birth name), and because there was another artist by the same name in another part of Japan, so this is an important disambiguating.
Unfortunately, when I created this article, issues were raised with this standard (as used for a hundred years of relevant art history) nomenclature, and I was forced to change it to ‘Masanao (Kyoto)’.
Just some context for you! 172.103.243.32 (talk) 06:20, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Autopatrolled right granted
editHi Gryffindor, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.
Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.
Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Ϫ 05:28, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
