Clearfrienda is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.

Welcome to my talk page! Please remember to be civil.

My watchlist is large and hard to manage. Please ping me with the {{ping|username}} or talkback template if you're trying to get my attention on a page that isn't this one.
If you can't find a previous discussion, it was probably archived. Create a new section if this happens.
If you have come here to ask for help because I declined your AfC submission, please leave a message with a clear format, like "Draft:Your draft's name", or click the "reviewer's talk page" link on the decline notice on your talk page, and it will do so for you. I will not re-review your article unless I've said otherwise. I'm happy to help answer any questions you have, but you'll have to resubmit and wait for another reviewer to keep things fair for you and everyone else.

This user is a regular and doesn't mind if you template him.

Plot summary[edit]

Regarding this edit, I just want to check that you're aware that plot summary doesn't ordinarily require citations per the MOS:PLOTSOURCE guideline. If it isn't copyvio and it isn't incorrect, I would suggest restoring it. SilverLocust 💬 00:46, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SilverLocust: I'm aware of the inline citation requirements for plot summaries but I'm not really sure what to do here. Some sentences closely match online plot summaries which leads me to believe it was a close-paraphrased version of an online summary. With no inline citations it's hard to prove the information isn't wrong and I also can't find any evidence of plagiarism.. The editor who added this summary has a history of copyvios and adding unreferenced information to articles. I've restored it for now per your recommendation but I'd advise keeping an eye on their future edits because they seem to ignore warnings. Clear friend a ^💬 01:07, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2024-22[edit]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

Several bugs related to the latest updates to the UploadWizard on Wikimedia Commons have been fixed. For more information, see T365107 and T365119.
In March 2024 a new addPortlet API was added to allow gadgets to create new portlets (menus) in the skin. In certain skins this can be used to create dropdowns. Gadget developers are invited to try it and give feedback.
Some CSS in the Minerva skin has been removed to enable easier community configuration. Interface editors should check the rendering on mobile devices for aspects related to the classes: .collapsible, .multicol, .reflist, .coordinates, .topicon. Further details are available on replacement CSS if it is needed.

Changes later this week

The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 28 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 29 May. It will be on all wikis from 30 May (calendar). [1][2]
When you visit a wiki where you don't yet have a local account, local rules such as edit filters can sometimes prevent your account from being created. Starting this week, MediaWiki takes your global rights into account when evaluating whether you can override such local rules. [3]

May 2024[edit]

Greetings @Clearfrienda, I hope you are doing well. Why did you move Muhammadou M. O. Kah page into draft space (Not ready for mainspace)? I think the topic is notable, are the used sources not satisfying? I would like to be advised and do better. 12eeWikiUser (talk) 07:12, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@12eeWikiUser: I draftified Muhammadou M. O. Kah because I didn't think he met WP:NPOL or WP:BASIC (little in-depth coverage). Per WP:DIPLOMAT (an essay) simply being an ambassador does not guarantee notability, and it should fall back to WP:BASIC. However, upon closer inspection, since he's the permanent representative of the Gambia to the United Nations Organisations at Geneva (UNOG) he may actually meet WP:NPOL under the criteria "politicians and judges who have held international [..] office." He may also meet WP:NACADEMIC for being a dean/vice-president of a university. I admittely don't have much experience with notability concerning international representatives but I've done a deeper dive and he probably does meet at least one subject-specific notability guideline. Please let me know what you think. C F A 💬 20:39, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Clearfrienda, I think the same that’s why I arrived at your talk page to learn the reason for moving subject to draftspace. If you don’t have any other questions we can move it back into article space. 12eeWikiUser (talk) 20:51, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved it back to mainspace but left it as unreviewed so another reviewer can check it over. I'm still not 100% sure about notability. Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy editing! C F A 💬 01:29, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

pride month[edit]

Hello, good and I saw that in the different Wikipedias a collection is being made to name all the LGBT artists in Wikipedia and I found this page that brings them all together. It would be great to unite everyone. [4]https://madamerap.com/en/category/rappers-en/spain/page/4/ BrownPrincessa (talk) 18:52, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
