Thanks for your assistance with the Attribution problem in the botched move of [[Talk:Eighty Years' War (1566–1609)]]. Putting in the split attribution is of course acceptable. I have the same problem with [[Twelve Years' Truce]], though less egregious. But I have again put in the banner, to draw speedy attention. One wishes that people followed the rules for this kind of operation. It would save trouble.--[[User:Ereunetes|Ereunetes]] ([[User talk:Ereunetes|talk]]) 19:28, 27 May 2018 (UTC) |

Deletion of draft
Hope you are feeling well, i am feeling very helpless and requesting please guide me. You deleted draft created by me namely, draft:Noor ul Ain which was earlier also created by me and you deleted on article space on 8 May 2018, after that today its also created by me. I've done one mistake of using same wordings but please forgive me. You deleted because that was earlier created by now block user on 19 February 2018. Will you restore that please. You can also check version of Noor ul Ain which was deleted on 19 february and it will look different because that was not created by me — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.160.118.147 (talk) 15:40, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Draft:Paul Kenny (entrepeneur) content and deletion
Hello Primefac,
I am new to Wikipedia. You flagged a 'copyright violation' on a biography i submitted for Irish entrepreneur, Paul Kenny. You mentioned it was taken from 'Naseba'; this content on his biography is all over the internet and his biography in many other event websites where he has spoken. The whole page seems that I wrote seems to have been deleted now. Can you please explain if I can get this page back? I am happy to delete what you don't want, it's just for sure there is no copyright infringement in anything I submitted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dubhessa (talk • contribs) 20:29, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
- Well, first off, simply because other sites might have stolen from Naseba doesn't mean that Wikipedia will do the same. Second, content on their website is
© 2018 Naseba
, which means we cannot use it on Wikipedia. Third, since the content was taken entirely from other sources, there is little point in me returning the text; you will be better off simply starting over and writing everything in your own words - the other option would be to convince Naseba to donate the text (see WP:DONATETEXT) for Wikipedia to use. Either way, I'm willing to list the references so you don't have to find/format them again. - Finally, if you work for Kenny you will need to disclose this fact on your userpage (see WP:PSCOI) if you wish to continue writing about him. Primefac (talk) 20:53, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi Primefac,
As I wrote, I am completely new to Wikipedia and to be honest have struggled to navigate the site and understand the processes so thank you for being patient. I understand that Wikipedia does not use copyrighted information, and I was never suggesting that they should as Naseba's content is in other sites online, my point is that the content on Naseba is simply Paul Kenny's biography that is used everywhere, on AYM's website, on any event he takes part in. I do work with Paul Kenny and wrote his biography that is on the Naseba site and many others. I work with the company he is MD for, AYM and I arrange his participation in numerous events. I was not in any way trying to hide this, I simply wanted to get his biography on Wikipedia as his partner James Whelton is listed on Wikipedia and as he has won a number of prestigious awards and has many accomplishments we felt justified in submitting his biography on here. I will use the link you have shared to disclose I work for the same company as him. There was no untoward intention on my part for submitting this biography. Can you advise what the best course of action for me is now in getting this listed on Wikipedia? As I have written, the biography on Naseba is in my own words! I submitted this to Naseba when Paul spoke on their panel last year; it's just his standard biography we use for every event except what I wrote for Wikipedia was updated to include that most recent award 'Arabian Business Mentor of the Year' award and his work with the Global Student Entrepreneur awards. looking forward to hearing from you and thank you again for patience, as I am very new to writing on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dubhessa (talk • contribs) 10:37, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi Primefac, Looking forward to hearing back from you. Can let me know if you can share a response on this last post I sent you? Like you just replied to EDG 543, we all have to start at same place. I am trying to understand how to move forward? None of the content I submitted was copyrighted and I am happy to disclose I work for the same company as Paul Kenny. THank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dubhessa (talk • contribs) 18:22, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
- Because Naseba has copyrighted the content on their site, we simply cannot use that text verbatim on ours. There is no problem with you writing an article on Kenny (provided that he does indeed meet our inclusion criteria and you disclose your affiliation), but you'll have to do so from scratch. The other option would be to contact Naseba and have them release the text for use elsewhere. Primefac (talk) 14:46, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi Primefac, if I ask Naseba to remove the biography on their site, will this be okay to then have the article I wrote approved for use on Wikipedia? To re-iterate I will follow the disclosure that I work for the same company as him and the inclusion thing you have mentioned again. If can let me know if I request they remove the biography that we wrote from their site, I'd really appreciate that. Looking forward to hearing from you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dubhessa (talk • contribs) 10:54, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Dubhessa. I am Diannaa and I am a Wikipedia administrator. Since the work has been previously published elsewhere, that means that the material is copyright and we can't use it here until such time as it's released under a compatible license. Removing the content from the source website doesn't change its copyright status! It enjoys permanent copyright protection as soon as it's published.In order to protect the rights of copyright holders, we have in place what we call the OTRS ticket system, whereby copyright holders can provide proof via email that they are the copyright holder. In the email you would also specify which license you wish to use. There's a list of compatible licenses here and a sample permission email here and detailed instructions here. Sorry it's all so complicated but these are legal requirements that keep us in compliance with the policies of this website and copyright law. Regardless of the copyright issue, what we're looking for is multiple reliable sources independent of the subject of the article. The draft is unlikely to be accepted without that. Please see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources for more information on that topic. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 11:49, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
HI Dubhessa (talk) 13:53, 16 May 2018 (UTC)DiannaaDubhessa (talk) 13:53, 16 May 2018 (UTC) , thank you so much for your response and trying to help. I am not sure if you can see the original content I submitted, but it was biography I am actually the author of and the contents in the biography were verified by 8 links to media coverage in media websites including global media outlets like bloomberg <ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=253039348&privcapId=138236698&previousCapId=138236698&previousTitle=Cobone.com%20FZ%20LLC%20Limited/ref>. As mentioned to Dubhessa (talk) 13:53, 16 May 2018 (UTC)primefacDubhessa (talk) 13:53, 16 May 2018 (UTC) I work in the same company as Paul Kenny and I wrote the biography in question. The biography that I wrote is regularly submitted to any events he takes part in so the organisers can share with event-goers and stakeholders. Since this issue on getting his listing approved on Wikipedia came up, I contacted Naseba and they replied just today to confirm they have removed the page off their site: please check here <ref>https://www.naseba.com/thought-leaders/paul-kenny-aym-commerce//ref> I really don't know how to move forward as the content is a summary of the successes and achievements of Paul Kenny with many links to verifiable sources of media content. Please can you help?! Dubhessa (talk) 13:53, 16 May 2018 (UTC)dubhessaDubhessa (talk) 13:53, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
- To repeat my two main points: (1) You can't copy the prose, even if you wrote it, unless you follow the procedure at WP:Donating copyright materials. (2) Quotations or paraphrased content from the person's own website does not improve the chances of the draft being accepted, as it does nothing to establish notability, which is a very common reason for drafts being declined and articles being deleted. Please refer to Wikipedia:Your first article, which contains lots of advice on how to create articles for this encyclopedia. You might consider visiting the Teahouse. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:22, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
OTRS question
After a ticket has been satisfactorily handled - let's say for an image upload - and we receive the necessary release(s), and make note of it at the image page, shouldn't that ticket be closed? The reason I ask is because I'm seeing 45 pages of Open tickets/need to be answered when in Dashboard view, but after reviewing several in English, they've already been handled. Oh, and once a ticket has been closed, can we simply put the ticket # in search and find it again after it's closed? (Sorry for the newbie questions, but I just want to make sure I've got protocol down pat). Atsme📞📧 15:08, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
- If a ticket has been handled (let's say with the proper release) the customer should be notified with a boilerplate and/or custom response as appropriate. There's a ticket # search so if you know the number it will take you straight to the ticket (generic search is only "good" if you don't have the ticket # itself). Primefac (talk) 15:11, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
- Oh, and @Atsme: ask on OTRS-wiki next time. Public wikis aren’t really a great place to be discussing OTRS. —-AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 19:50, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
Hello
Hi, Primefac. I would like to sincerely apologize for my idiotic actions on Carpentersville Middle School. I just needed to say that. Could you forgive me? EDG 543 (talk) 17:12, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
Noor ul Ain
Would you mind undeleting Noor ul Ain (I have to use an external link otherwise it links to Noor-ul-Ain)? It was a really nice article. L293D (☎ • ✎) 01:04, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
- It was a one-sentence stub (also I don't see what the issue is with Noor ul Ain). Either way, I won't give a sock farm satisfaction of restoration, but if you're willing to accept responsibility for the page I can email you the contents. Primefac (talk) 11:42, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
Danny Lorraine
Hello Primefac, and thanks for closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Danny Lorraine. I'd like to ask a favour - as closing admin, are you able to put protection on Danny Lorraine so that the IP editors can't undo the redirect again? It was the reason I opened the AfD in the first place. Thanks again, PKT(alk) 14:20, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
- I've watchlisted the page, and will take the appropriate actions if necessary. Primefac (talk) 14:23, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
- One of the IP's made a nasty edit, so I gave it semi protection. It's too soon to consider a reversal of the AfD/creation of the article by pointiness.-- Dlohcierekim (talk) 16:34, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
- I'd hardly call that a "nasty" edit, but it did lead to the uncovering of a sockfarm and some global blocks. Primefac (talk) 16:35, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

deletion of /left/right
hi :) I was wondering how I can get this page back up as a normal article? I’ve updated the page to the proper criteria, but I can’t figure out how to publish the page. I attempted to do so myself by changing the link, and it ended up getting deleted. Is there a way to get this page back, and in a position to where it can be posted?
Sorry for the trouble & thank you for your time :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZAYLAVIE (talk • contribs) 03:48, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
- ZAYLAVIE, I'd be willing to restore and place it back in the draft space, but as it was written it was not significantly improved over the deleted version and is currently not acceptable in the article space. Primefac (talk) 14:03, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
that works for me! and well, I went ahead and made all the changes that have been requested by all post wiki moderators, what's left to do to make it live? Zay La Vie (talk) 02:05, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- Done. I've moved the page to Draft:/Left/Right. When you are ready, submit your draft for review by following the instructions in the grey box. Primefac (talk) 12:03, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Primefac, could you please assign AFC reviewer rights to continue review AFC articles with AFC helper script access. Warm Regards, ZI Jony (talk) 11:34, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

2030 Commonwealth Games
Hi Primefac,
This is with regards to the 2030 Commonwealth Games. I am updating this page as and when I am finding details worth posting on this page. Request you to please remove the REDIRECT and the page available again.
Thanks, Vikram Maingi (talk) 01:41, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
- Vikram maingi, please propose/discuss any changes to the page on its talk page - removing the redirect would go against the consensus to convert it into a redirect. Primefac (talk) 13:51, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
Need your advice on this... Most of the sources are in Malayam, but they might be reliable. Do we give benefit of the doubt in these cases? etothepi 👽 (u)•(t) 16:04, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- Having a source in a foreign language is not an automatic fail, but neither is it an automatic pass. They're not terrible sources on the draft, but don't feel like you must review something; if you're not comfortable judging the reliability of foreign sources, just skip the draft (we have 200+ reviewers and a few Malayam speakers to boot). Primefac (talk) 16:28, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
AfC Draft
@Primefac: The draft article you deleted from AfC as copyright infringement on 21 May should not have been deleted because (1) the remote hpluspedia article is a mirror copied from the original Wikipedia article, which was published first, and (2) aside from being a mirror, the hpluspedia site is covered under a blanket CC:BY:4.0 license. This was stated in a disclaimer at the top of the draft's source code along with a direct link. No copyright violation occurred. I'd appreciate it if you could restore the article to its previous condition. Thank you Apricotnectar (talk) 05:50, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- My apologies, I'm honestly surprised that I missed the (rather glaring) attribution in the first edit. I've restored the page. Primefac (talk) 11:40, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Primefac: Thank you. Could you restore the correct version of the Talk page as well? It contains a clear and comprehensive list of references that establish notability. Apricotnectar (talk) 11:53, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- Done. Primefac (talk) 12:10, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Primefac: Thanks again. Now that the article is restored, do I need to do anything to reactivate its status as awaiting review, or is the process automatic? Just want to be sure I'm not missing anything. Apricotnectar (talk) 07:25, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- Done. Primefac (talk) 12:10, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Dancing with the Stars Succession Box
Also, now that you penned me with notifications. Going back to creating all the boxes for the finalists on Dancing with the Stars. First place winners already have boxes for their success and it continues. However, what you did not notice was that only some runner ups and third place finishers had boxes. I said this several times these were all before my edits. If you would go back and check that was the case. Not even all the winners had boxes only some of them had them and some of them didn't. When I went back to edit I made sure that it was fair and evened things out. That not only some winners, runner ups and third placers got boxes but all finalists in the top 3 had boxes. Now the edits are staying the same I haven't reverted anything since that whole debacle and your last message on my talk page. I am considering taking your advice of making this into an article for discussion topic. I feel that we all need to debate this topic to come to a clear consensus. We all have different opinions and I feel that should be talked about. Your reason was clear and I felt as though mine was too.Welcometothenewmillenium (talk) 17:59, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
Cryptocurrencies GS
Could you please clarify for me: When you logged "WP:ARBPIA-equivalent discretionary sanctions and 1RR are in force" for cryptocurrencies, do you mean ordinary 1RR plus ARBPIA-equivalent DS, or do you mean to import the General 1RR restriction from ARBPIA, which also includes restrictions restoring reverted edits and some enforcement provisions? GoldenRing (talk) 12:07, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
- Just ordinary 1RR. It's spelled out a bit more plainly on the case page but I'll see about rewording some of the other locations. Primefac (talk) 12:16, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
The conversation at my talkpage
Hi Primefac, notwitstanding what kind of allegations I am faced with, I hope that there are no hard feelings between us. The accusation is moderately high and I am hurt from it. However, continue that kind of conversation will only lead to nowhere. I had blanked (ironically) that as it is not productive and we don't want such arguments to reach the newer users who we are going to guide with. This just show bad on us, experienced users. I will separate the message from tone. The tone is harsh, message is still acceptable. I will accept it and will learn, hope to be cut a little more slack and with time I'll improve. Will use in depth summaries now. --Quek157 (talk) 17:08, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, I apologize if you read anything seriously negative in my tone, it's one of the downsides of text-based communication. My intention was to highlight what I thought was an oversight on your part, and never intended to come across as overly harsh. Thank you for listening. Primefac (talk) 17:18, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
- I don't know is it culture or whatsoever, in Singapore, outrageous in Singapore English means a lot, it is just too harsh, it is the term where we used to refer to something exceedingly grave, balant and is not usually used. As an experienced user from 2007, I know the impact of CSD. My first article was on People's Park Centre, which is clearly mid importance can see why there, I am slapped with an G11 within just 5 minutes of article creation just without sources. I had to contest the CSD and then bring the issue to the user talkpage. I personally experienced this and I am sure no one else needs to bear this. Also, it is our culture to make sure we defend ourselves, as our law minister (AG equivalent in US) put it "if there are any accusation, we need to clarify, make clear, we have to clear our name". This is our nation mantra and the reason I signed up for AFC as well as NPP is that this Singaporean side will be available to prevent balant rejections / G12. See how I declined a G12 on BCA Academy on my talkpage. Thanks --Quek157 (talk) 17:34, 23 May 2018 (UTC)\

- and hell it was my 40 plus edits into the project, and is no way near G11 status. Many of us left this project after so many nonsense AFD and CSD, the only users left now is really Mailer Diablo (the only sysop from then in SG which is active (or semi)). The most prolific content creators from our country, including @Huaiwei, Jacklee, and Sengkang: with numerous FA / GA under their belt is gone due to them cannot take how this project works against Singapore. So the line of Singapore wikipedians are really thin nowadays (and all the articles are beyond repair as all WP:RS are gone, and our SG wikipedia RS page still list 2003 sources as reliable). I usually join in the AFD discussions only after that. so IMO we are too lenient with AFC people already, many of them don't know when drafts aren't available, this is the treatment we got, and still want to go on and on to argue whether it is notable or not. --Quek157 (talk) 17:59, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Got a job for PrimeBOT, think you could help me out? http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/ has been a massive resource for the Television WikiProject, but now that it's gone offline, this leaves a lot of dead links to the site, especially for supporting home media release dates. Could PrimeBOT automatically mark such usages as dead links and add the correct archive? Thanks! -- AlexTW 09:23, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- I think Cyberpower678 and the InternetArchiveBot might be better for this, but if not I can certainly do what I can. Primefac (talk) 17:12, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- You probably can submit a bot job here, though I'm only able to get three urls from url search and domain search doesn't work for me Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:54, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- Ive marked the domain as dead and started a bot job.—CYBERPOWER (Around) 02:48, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
Restoration of Draft
You apparently deleted a draft in my sandbox (User:Theologicae/sandbox) on 21 May, 2018. I would like to have this draft restored. However, in following the restoration protocol I am unable to find the required draft title (Eg. draft:title) in either the "red box" on the former sandbox page or on my talk page.
I spent several hours on this entry and would be disappointed to learn that it cannot be recovered. Please advise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theologicae (talk • contribs) 15:51, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
Need your insight
Am I wrong here (I see your active :P ) - FlightTime Phone (open channel) 17:44, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- I'm not quite sure what you think is "wrong" here - you gave a warning about external links but I don't see any being placed with their edits. Primefac (talk) 17:56, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry [1] - FlightTime Phone (open channel) 18:00, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- Eh... I think that's more appropriate in prose, with a better reference, than as an external link, but that's just my opinion. I also think at this point both of you should go to the talk page, since we're getting into 3RR territory all around. Primefac (talk) 19:02, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- Actually, I'm done with it, don't have the energy today. Thanx for your help, it is appreciated :) - FlightTime Phone (open channel) 19:07, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Revdel request
Hi, if you have time can you revdel the revisions from this [2] to [3] as it can possible identify me. Thanks Quek157 (talk) 17:06, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- Um... Quek157, you made the edit and signed the post, so I'm not really sure what you're referencing, since all you did was change an extra sig into "4 ~". Primefac (talk) 17:28, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
still around?
Hi. If you are still around, would you please asses a procedural request at PERM for AWB? Thanks. —usernamekiran(talk) 17:16, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks. —usernamekiran(talk) 17:20, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- In the future, please exercise some patience. You put the AWB request up and posted here what, 8 minutes later? Nothing on Wikipedia needs doing immediately. I'm always willing to grant perms when necessary (I wouldn't patrol them if I wasn't), but not when it feels like I'm being forced to. Primefac (talk) 17:23, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry. I have been wanting to have a bot since like ages, and that bot request was open for almost three months now. And I accidently saw you online, so I took a chance. I am very excited lol. I apologise for being impatient.Also, I logged in AWB with the bot, but it says "bot=false". Is this supposed to be like that? —usernamekiran(talk) 17:28, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Page history moves
Thanks for your assistance with the Attribution problem in the botched move of Talk:Eighty Years' War (1566–1609). Putting in the split attribution is of course acceptable. I have the same problem with Twelve Years' Truce, though less egregious. But I have again put in the banner, to draw speedy attention. One wishes that people followed the rules for this kind of operation. It would save trouble.--Ereunetes (talk) 19:28, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- I've added attribution. If you can find the diffs, you can add the {{split article}} or {{copied}} notice as appropriate. Primefac (talk) 19:51, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
