Russell Kulsrud moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Russell Kulsrud, 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:
" 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.

Category creations
Hello, categories on the English Wikipedia work completely differently to the way they do on the German Wikipedia, and none of your category creations have taken that into account ... therefore, I have deleted your categories and undone your edits adding them using mass-editing tools, per the ignore all rules policy. To take Category:Animal Fable as an example: (a) we already have Category:Animal tales; (b) category names are capitalised like sentences and pluralised in the English Wikipedia, so it should have been "Animal fables"; (c) Animal Farm is a tale, not a fable, so it, let alone its film adaptations, should never have been categorised as such. Also in most cases categories on the English Wikipedia try to go as deep down in the tree as possible, so a category like "Human Nutrition" [sic] is not necessary. Furthermore, creating talk pages for IP's that have never been used is not necessary, and I cannot understand why you call yourself a native speaker of English when you write "Norwegian cartographers, who also named him, mapped him in 1946 using aerial photographs from the Lars Christensen Expedition in 1936/37". If you are using machine translation, please slow way down, and note that the English Wikipedia does not look kindly upon articles in such a state. Graham87 05:01, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
- What is the difference between the EN and DE category? And what is e.g. wrong with Category: Ingrid Christensen Coast? --Killarnee (T•R•P) 18:16, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
- I don't know German but from the editing I've done on its Wikipedia, I get the impression that its category structure is far less diffuse (e.g. fewer subcategories). Also on the English Wikipedia, articles being both in a category and its subcategory are only reserved for special cases (contrast de:Kategorie:Ingrid-Christensen-Küste and de:Kategorie:Prinzessin-Elisabeth-Land, which have a lot of items in common ... this would not happen on the English Wikipedia). I guess that category was alright, but see the above sentence. Graham87 11:20, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- Can you then restore the categories? Category: Animal Fable you don't have to restore but the others. And if the categories are supposed to be deep, then Category:Human nutrition is the right one, isn't it? --Killarnee (T•R•P) 22:56, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- I've restored Category:Ingrid Christensen Coast and fixed it up per normal English Wikipedia practices, so you can repopulate it correctly. The others I will not restore as they are problematic. As for human nutrition, that's covered by Category:Nutrition, which applies to humans and all other animals ... animal nutrition is in its own subcategory. Apart from geographical topics, please stick to the German Wikipedia for categorisation ... or get advice at Wikipedia talk:Categorization. Graham87 04:41, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- Human nutrition is actually different from that of other animals. And for the noble family Albertiner the category would also be correct. But thanks and greetings anyway, --Killarnee (T•R•P) 03:20, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
- This'll be my last message too ... but Albertiner is not an English word so it is not really suitable for categorisation. None of the other Wikipedias with the Latin alphabet use it ... and probably the reason there is no category on the English Wikipedia is that there's no separte article for the branch, either.

Streetwear Sneaker Culture Section
Hello Killarnee, for a class project, I had too create a temporary section under the streetwear wikipage discussing a "new found trend" in fashion. For my class I identified "sneaker culture" that I had to personally find all research and sources for, write a small essay for and edit the section to keep it up temporarily with plans for it to get deleted after the project is graded. Since the beginning I have been getting edits for other users that hindered my class work and told my professor that I can no longer use wikipedia to fulfill the project directions (resulting in a deduction in my grade). Because this idea was created outside of wikipedia including my work, words and resources my professor advised me to take it down from wikipedia, which I am doing now. Thanks -TheresaObi — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheresaObi (talk • contribs) 01:45, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a page where you can write everything down. If the section made sense, it remains in the article, even if you disagree. If the section is to be removed, ask on the discussion page first. --Killarnee (T•1•2) 01:53, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- it seems from what the other users said that there is already a page dedicated to sneaker culture, therefore this section can go. TheresaObi (talk) 01:57, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- No, the others wrote that your text was badly written, not inappropriate. And as I said before, ask on the discussion page, I can only say that just because you don't want the text there you can't remove the text without consensus. --Killarnee (T•1•2) 02:11, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- I got a personally message from a user who directed me to the sneaker culture section under the sneaker page and after reviewing, that page and section makes a lot more sense. TheresaObi (talk) 02:21, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Personal message? I can't see a personal message on your discussion page. --Killarnee (T•1•2) 02:31, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

- I'm not saying he advised me to remove anything, he mentioned and showed me how there is already a section already dedicated to sneaker culture, and for it to be on the streetwear page there should be a source citing that, which makes sense, therefore I recognized the difference because any source found cites shoes and not it's involvement in streetwear.

Yebba Followup
Hello,
I recently made some edits to correct errors on the Yebba page. There were several wording errors so I spent time rewriting the sections and reformatting the tables to make them more robust with independent sourcing. It looks like all of my changes were reverted. Would you mind telling me why it was reverted and how, if possible, I can have my changes reinstated?
Thank you!

User talk:Ibinjohn
Why are you reverting/warning this user for blanking their talk page? The user hasn't requested to be unblocked so there's nothing prohibited from removal, per WP:UP#CMT. —{ CrypticCanadian } 02:21, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- If a user is blocked, the block message should remain so that others can later see that the user has been locked, among other things so that nothing happens like this. --Killarnee (T•1•2) 02:27, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- Per the guideline linked above: "Policy does not prohibit users, whether registered or unregistered, from removing comments from their own talk pages, although archiving is preferred. If a user removes material from their user page, it is normally taken to mean that the user has read and is aware of its contents. There is no need to keep them on display, and usually users should not be forced to do so."
- While the user in question was clearly a vandal, it is disruptive to continuously revert something that isn't against policy. The only block-related notice a user cannot remove from their own page is Template:Unblock. Anyone who needs to see an active block will always be able to do so on the user's contributions page. —{ CrypticCanadian } 02:31, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- If you think so, but the vandalism problem here is also because it is totally easy for vandals to circumvent punishments, for example by deleting vandalism notes on their discussion page. And that a look at the contributions does not always work, you will see for yourself if you look in the history of the talk pages more often. That's why I don't use Huggle, for example, because things like this quickly go unnoticed. --Killarnee (T•1•2) 02:38, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- It's generally the responsibility of the person posting the warnings to decide what the target user deserves, just as it's our responsibility to determine whether a questionable edit constitutes vandalism or not. If that involves looking at the history of a blank talk page, then that's what we have to do.
- If the contributions page of a blocked user isn't showing you that they're blocked, then please notify WP:VPT, because that's a technical error.
- Sure, it would be easier for us if vandals couldn't remove warnings and block notices, but I'm not really here to debate the merits of the rule. The fact is: until the community decides otherwise, users are allowed to remove notices from their talk page, regardless of whether it inconveniences us or not, and reverting them for it is a legitimate reason to get 3RR blocked. I don't think anyone really cares in the case of this user, but I'm simply pointing this out to you so that you're aware of it for the future. —{ CrypticCanadian } 02:56, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- Ok, I only saw that the user emptied the page frequently and that this was always undone by others and that is why he was already blocked. I just wanted to help eliminate vandalism and prevent vandals from going unnoticed. If you think that was wrong, you should also report to the other users who also reverted Ibinjohn's empties. --Killarnee (T•1•2) 03:08, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Killarnee,
Just curious what you mean by "previous picture was better" on that Dany Garcia edit. Looking at the rules, in the prior picture, a crop, she is looking down. The 2019 pic is clearer and has the subject facing the camera. Ninoprofotos (talk) 19:06, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Vandalism warnings
Hello Killarnee,
Thank you for helping to keep vandalism away from Wikipedia. On User talk:74.130.32.112, you issued a 4im warning. This is not necessary. An example of a use of a 4im warning is if a user blanked the content five times and hasn't been warned, that would be appropriate. If a user keeps vandalizing and you issued a level 4 warnings, just report to WP:AIV. Just a friendly note. Interstellarity (talk) 18:12, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello. A little while ago an IP made this edit. You reverted and issued a vandalism warning.

Matthew Seligman photo removed
Hi, you took down a photo I uploaded to Matthew Seligman's bio page. I don't know how this all works so forgive me if I got something wrong, but can you please tell me why I made a mistake?

Update: I have now ascertained the cause of the problem, I think. The photo is my own but was used recently by a news outlet to illustrate the obituary of Matthew. So Wikimedia Commons flagged it as a copyright breach. I have now written to the website to ask that they give me credit for the photo. Meanwhile, how can I reupload the photo, give it a CC license, and post it to Matthew's page without getting reverted? I would be very grateful for your help.

It's obvious vandalism but I've already made 2 reverts on the page and even though I'd guess I'd be ok rather not take the chance. It'll have to be manually deleted as it got slipped in there. thanks ToeFungii (talk) 00:26, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
- @ToeFungii: I'll take a look at the page, and if the vandalism persists you can report the page here. If you want to revert vandalism faster, you should use rollback, undo is *crap*. --Killarnee (T•1•2) 00:39, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Message from Kmartinez137
Hi there, I was just wondering why in particular you felt my edits should be removed/what you believe was not constructive. The current lead section does not reflect the new contributions to the article and lacked citation in places Wikipedia's guidelines say it is needed. I was in the process of adding my sentences to the lead section and rearranging its structure, which is why it was not complete. I'll be sure to put a completed draft of the lead section in my sandbox for reference. Best Kmartinez137 (talk) 20:26, 8 May 2020 (UTC)kmartinez137
- The edit that I wrote to you on your discussion page bothered me because, unlike what you wrote in the summary, not only did you arrange the text differently but changed it completely without giving any source. But I did not see that you are currently rewriting the article because you have made a lot of edits in a row, so if you give a source you can put the text back in. And maybe use the preview button instead of saving many changes in a row. --Killarnee (T•1•2) 20:44, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi there, I did include sources for the sentences added. I'm not sure what you are referring to there. The only uncited material is currently in the edits you removed/that were on the original page. I also did do multiple edits in a row but by Wikipedia norms, you are supposed to add around 2 sentences at a time, which I did. These edits were small as to avoid large accidental rollbacks (which is why I didn't just completely re-write the section with the preview feature). I think the lead section should reflect the current structure of the article, as designated by Wikipedia guidelines. The article, prior to my additions to various sections, contained minimal content with a significant amount of analysis/lack of citation (such as in the lead section). I will, however, be adding back in accents and citations that were removed as the former is for accuracy and the latter to avoid plagiarism. That all being said, I am happy to rework the lead section in my sandbox as you suggested and will take your feedback into consideration when editing the article. In the future, please warrant your edits with specificity rather than by merely saying they are "unconstructive" as other users have indicated frustration with above.

Mount Wittenberg Orca follow-up
Hi Killarnee,
Got your message about removing Black Mountain comment from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Wittenberg_Orca
Is a citation such as this sufficient? https://www.summitpost.org/black-mountain-aka-elephant-mountain-marin-county-california/898263
The mountains in the two photos are identical. As background, I live in Marin County and was just listening to one of my favorite indie bands and was surprised to see a local landmark used as cover art. While the album is called Mount Wittenberg, I thought people might like to know that the cover art is actually of Black Mountain which can be see from Mount Wittenberg and Point Reyes.

- You can also place a Wikilink to the article about the mountain if you can see that the mountains are the same. I find your source rather unsuitable because there is nothing on the website about the album itself. --Killarnee (T•1•2) 21:33, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
Message from Nick Cody 66
Tell me what parts of Magnus Walker article that I changed do you deem 'not constructive'? Nick Cody 66 (talk) 21:03, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- For probably the same reason why your previous changes were also undone. You remove content without giving a reason and add content without naming sources. Besides, no encyclopedia is written like this... --Killarnee (T•1•2) 21:12, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
Re: Leo Housakos
I reworked on the article to make it sound less like a non-NPOV résumé and added a controversy paragraph from the French article. The content is roughly the same. Northern Moonlight 00:15, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, next time please use the summary line. --Killarnee (T•1•2) 00:17, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Please slow down and don't bite the newbies
I happened to stumble across your edits. I'm noticing that you're reverting some edits using Huggle and rollback that are not clear vandalism, or not vandalism at all. In particular, the edits to the Porto Novo soccer team page appear valid to me. Yes, the IP should ideally use edit summaries, but if you look at the content of the diffs you'll see that the IP is making changes to reflect the impact of the coronavirus. The dates the IP removed are clearly no longer accurate, whether the season resumes or not, and it's also clearly inaccurate now that "the season is scheduled to end in May".
The rollback tool can only be used in certain conditions, and lack of edit summaries isn't one of them. The IP editor's edits were clearly in good faith and arguably improved the encyclopedia instead of harming it. CJK09 (talk) 00:44, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
- No, to remove all dates in a table and after repeated requests not to state why, you should not be surprised if this is undone. And whether I use rollback or undone makes no difference because I write the reasoning on the discussion page. --Killarnee (T•1•2) 00:50, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
- First, the rollback policy is clear that it does make a difference whether you use rollback or undo. Not biting the newcomers is important, and rollback lacks the ability to include an edit summary. Furthermore, the user wasn't removing "all dates in the table" - they were only removing the dates of a few matches. Those matches were the ones that got postponed/canceled due to coronavirus and didn't take place on the previously listed dates.
- Also, template warnings (especially the level 3 and 4 ones) really shouldn't be used for non-disruptive good faith edits like these. All they do in those cases is scare away well-intentioned potential contributors. It's always far, far better to leave a personalized message than to keep templating for non-vandalism edits.
- The Porto Novo edits are also just an example; in general, huggle/rollback/etc and templated messages shouldn't be used for good-faith edits that potentially improve the encyclopedia, even if the user should have used an edit summary or whatnot. CJK09 (talk) 00:58, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Regarding changes made to Ontario International Airport
Hello Killarnee, I made these changes to reflect current and updated pictures of what the terminals look like, the photos on the revision that you reverted to are extremely outdated. I work for the airport and want to make sure we are represented accurately on Wikipedia. I have never used Wikipedia on the backend, so my apologies for not fully explaining why I made these edits. Would you be able to revert Ontario International Airport back to the revision with the changes that I made? Thank you TSchuckert (talk) 19:40, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
- I just looked at the article and found that the pictures that were there before are better. At least the first picture in the info box, you can see almost only clouds in the new picture. And why did you put so many spaces in the info box? --Killarnee (T•1•2) 19:45, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
- @TSchuckert:, I don't see a problem with the pictures you added, from a quick glance (I didn't look through in detail). However, I noticed that you wrote the caption for one photo as "Welcome to Ontario International Airport". This could be read as promotional voice, which isn't permitted on Wikipedia. Furthermore, since you work for the airport, you are required to disclose your conflicts of interest as explained here, and follow the guidelines on that page when editing in areas where you have a conflict of interest. Let me know if you have any further questions. CJK09 (talk) 19:48, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
- I appreciate the info @CJK09:, as I said earlier, I'm new to Wikipedia and just wanted to make edits to the photos to show the current look, so apologies for the missteps. As for the first image, it's more of an artistic view of the terminal buildings from airside that our photographer took. I did not make edits (or intend to make edits if I did) to the info box structure, I just wanted to change the photos throughout the page. The caption was for the welcome sign, but I can edit that to be more descriptive to the sign itself. Is there a way for me to correctly revert back to my revisions? I'm unsure of how to do that. TSchuckert (talk) 19:57, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Killarnee:, hoping you have seen my above message about how to revert back to the old revision that I made so the page can be as up-to-date as possible for people searching Ontario International Airport on Wikipedia. I can do whatever you need me to do for the edit summary, but I want to make sure the changes are done in the appropriate way so they will not be removed again in the future. Thanks. TSchuckert (talk) 23:48, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- I have just looked at your edits and unfortunately I have to tell you that I find the most pictures unsuitable. I think your pictures look like advertisement. I find the first picture particularly unsuitable, where you can almost only see clouds, the picture with the dog and also the picture with the sandwich. Since I think it's great that you want to help improve the article, but I can't say a good feeling that you can put the pictures back, I would - if it is okay for you - ask here for a third opinion. --Killarnee (T•1•2) 00:32, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Draftified articles
Hi there. I'm Barkeep49 and I am a New Page Patroller and sysop. While working in the new pages feed I have noticed that you've been draftifying a large number of articles. While training new page patrollers it can be tempting to overrely on draftify for articles that should really have some other response. For instance at Draft:Academic grading in Nigeria I think it is ineligible for draftifying as you did so only minutes after creation. I would ask you to please consider not using that tool for the time being. Barkeep49 (talk) 16:52, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- The page is so badly written that it should actually be deleted. --Killarnee (T•1•2) 17:00, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- Then the right thing to do is nominate it for deletion. DRAFTIFY
is not intended as a backdoor route to deletion.
(emphasis in the original). However that article was minutes old. Moving it to draft is, in my view, WP:BITEY and should not be done. If it was a day old or a week old that is different. I would ask you to look at the other articles you draftified this morning and confirm that they meet draftify criteria 3 (3a and 3b). Thank you, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:06, 12 May 2020 (UTC)- I don't want the articles to be deleted, but such crap simply doesn't belong in the main ns, and it doesn't matter whether the author is new or not. If you want to work on an article undisturbed, you can do it in draft ns or user ns. And to move a page because it is badly written is not BITEY but simply the truth, whoever cannot tolerate the truth is out of place here. --Killarnee (T•1•2) 17:16, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- I don't want to get into a whole thing with you but do feel an obligation to respond to some of what you've written (or not written) here. Not biting new editors (and let's be clear - only new editors are eligible for DRAFTIFY
2d. The page is a recent creation by an inexperienced editor. (Old pages, and pages by experienced editors, deserve an AfD discussion).
is a behavioral guideline. We can discuss whether moving an article that was minutes old is a form of BITE (I say it is, so far you have not addressed that element). But what is clearer is that when you WP:DRAFTIFY you do, as that page notes, become accountable for those decisions and for the way you conduct it. I have, accordingly, asked you to be accountable for your actions in draftifying - specifically by not moving newly created articles (as under provisions 3a and 3b) and by reviewing other draftifies you made today.

Issues with rollback use
Please review the WP:ROLLBACK guideline. You are using it at times, including but not limited to the Ontario Airport picture and Battery "H" 1st Regiment Michigan Light Artillery, to revert good faith edits or edits where you simply disagree with the changes. You have also used it at least one time incorrectly, reinserting something which had been (and should have been) removed. These are all from the past two days and without any real effort on my part to have found them. Please let me know if you have any questions about rollback - while I am not an expert in its use I do understand the guideline and know several experts in its use that I can ask if I do not know myself.

- No, if you don't write what editing you mean, I don't know. "Puckett is a wonderful born again believer and minister" is written like advertising, it shouldn't be part of an encyclopedia. And why the YouTube link? If the link is important you can do it in the "External links" section. If you just place the link in the article, it's like advertising --Killarnee (T•1•2) 19:47, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Removed my content on the civil war battery 1st Michigan Company H De Goylers (8th Battery Michigan)
Hello Killarnee,
i am a civil war historian and i am struggling to understand why u removed the link i added to the government record of civil war Monuments on the NPS.Gov website. i also struggle to understand why u removed me adding its civil war name which is used many monuments this name being De Goylers (8th Battery Michigan).
my facts where factually correct backed up by records from the time hence why i added the links to my sources, I actually studied the Regiments of Michigan in length as I am a civil war fanatic.
can u please not remove factually correct information from Wikipedia posts. the information i provided actually aided a stumped article by providing a name other people know it by to make it easier to find i also added links to government websites which last time i checked is a valid source and not advertisements. if u have a problem with my findings by all means reach out to me however it will be hard to disprove these findings.
I would also like to know how long u studied the civil war to throw my facts out like it was nothing. i was trying to add to a topic that is so low in content.
in future research before u remove facts if you like i could put you in touch with another historian to clarify this.
if u have any quires reach out to me.
-CMc4567
i also invite u to look at my sources

Gods of Boom page needs it's old name back
Hello Killarnee,
I noticed that you were the one to change the name of the "Gods of Boom" article. Great job! Recently game officially changed its name back to "Guns of Boom". Unfortunately, I don't have enough rights to change the name of the article back to "Guns of Boom" but maybe you could help with that?

- Hi, when I moved the page to its (meanwhile temporary) name, I've created a redirect to the new name which now prevents me from moving the page to its old name, since only admins may delete pages to make way for a move. But I've requested deleting the redirect so that I can move the page to its old name. Thanks for the hint :) -Killarnee (C•T•U) 19:47, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
