Hello, TsipiMagen. In John Rawls you changed all "Rawls's" to "Rawls'", but either way is defensible: MOS:POSS. So, if you have a strong preference for "Rawls'", please take it to Talk. Wikiain (talk) 23:24, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Mostly I have a preference for a consistent format within a single article. It's confusing to see both Rawls' and Rawls's within the same paragraph. Beyond that, I can live with either form. TMagen (talk) 12:11, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Likewise - and that is the advice of MOS:POSS. The article mostly had Rawls's and I've changed the few Rawls' to Rawls's. Wikiain (talk) 23:24, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Discussion involving transgender issues

You may want to be aware of and possibly join in: Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 121#MOS:IDENTITY clarification. Skyerise (talk) 07:03, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

MOS:IDENTITY is being revisited: How should Wikipedia refer to transgender individuals before and after their transition?

You are being contacted because you contributed to a recent discussion of MOS:IDENTITY that closed with the recommendation that Wikipedia's policy on transgender individuals be revisited.

Two threads have been opened at the Village Pump:Policy. The first addresses how the Manual of Style should instruct editors to refer to transgender people in articles about themselves (which name, which pronoun, etc.). The second addresses how to instruct editors to refer to transgender people when they are mentioned in passing in other articles. Your participation is welcome.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 03:05, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Furthermore, there have been about 5 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians in different countries across the world to create articles about African(a) cinema!

We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!

• Article suggestions can be found here. You can also add to this list.
• Some notable reliable sources for African cinema can be found here. Again, this list needs expansion.
• Interested in Wikidata translation? check out the Occupation Drive, which is being led by Wiki Loves Women, in support of the contest and the project!
• Please remember to list articles you have created or improved in the Article Achievements section of the contest page, so that they can be easily tracked.

Mizrahi feminism moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Mizrahi feminism, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

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.

I added the translation template because you stated in your first edit summary that you were translating the article. I guess you just have to use your judgement as to whether the template should be added, and I know no way to qualify it. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:17, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

File:Love Trilogy-Chained.png

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

License tagging for File:I Still Hide To Smoke.PNG

Thanks for uploading File:I Still Hide To Smoke.PNG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 20:30, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Ways to improve Miss Boston and Miss Hargreaves

Hello, TMagen,

Thanks for creating Miss Boston and Miss Hargreaves! I edit here too, under the username Girth Summit and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-

The Sunday Telegraph and Sunday Times references are solid; the other ones are all to the author's publisher, her own website, and Waterstones - it would be good to get some more independent sources for some of the content if possible. It would also be great to get references for the award - each of the awards probably has a website that lists winners, shortlists and longlists?

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Girth Summit}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Speedy deletion nomination of Carmen Elmakiyes

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Carmen Elmakiyes, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Cabayi (talk) 07:30, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Most other times I'd tag the article for improvement. However, given that she's a candidate in an election happening next week, that she fails WP:NPOL as an unelected candidate, and the focus of the article is on her political attributes, it's clearly an advert. After the election things will be different, as will your urge to create the biography I suspect. Cabayi (talk) 07:35, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

No - it isn't an advert. I don't even consider her standing for election to be very important, she is not in a realistic position to be elected, and I do not intend to vote for her party myself (so I wouldn't do a political advert). The Israeli electorate does not read English wiki, and she has had a Hebrew wiki article for several years now - with most of the exact same information as in this article. Her notability is not as an elected candidate, but because she is one of the leading social activists in Israel, and is in the news continually - and has been since 2012. She is primarily a Mizrahi social activist, not a politician, and THAT is the focus of the article, not "political attributes". She has been either the leading figure, or one of a small group, in several "burning" Mizrahi social issues since 2011, and that made her notable long before this election - which she became a part of only a few weeks ago. The proximity of this article to the election is entirely coincidental - as I have only started seriously editing in English for the past 6 weeks or so - and I have a list of Israeli feminist, filmmakers, poets, and social activists I am working my way through.

As for improvement - as someone who has been translating articles from English wikipedia for many years - what isn't encyclopedic here? There are no superlatives (unlike many wiki articles) no opinions (likewise) nothing unsourced, the sources are mostly major media venues and government protocols... Nothing in the article is likely to be factually contested (for the reasons I listed, and also because they aren't generally considered divisive. So if you could be more specific, and not wrongly assuming this is an article about a politician, that would be very helpful. TMagen (talk) 07:48, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

As I said, it's down to the timing. Had this been created before the election was called I wouldn't bat an eyelid. After the election I would have little problem with it. Creating it now, during the campaign, for an unelected candidate, that's a problem. Cabayi (talk) 07:55, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

I understand your reasoning, @Cabayi:, but I have removed the tag because I don't think it's unquestionably promotion. I think it merits a deletion discussion. Deb (talk) 08:07, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

I appreciate the removal, but it someone else agrees that the timing is an issue, I am okay with putting it in a sandbox until next Wednesday when the election results are in. It really wasn't an intentional act, just unfortunate timing. TMagen (talk) 08:11, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Okay, it's now at Draft:Carmen Elmakiyes for the time being. Deb (talk) 11:49, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Deb & TM, that resolves my issues. We really ought to have some kind of Purdah process, but this looks a good outcome. Cabayi (talk) 21:14, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Just to clarify for a passer-by, is the idea Cabayi and Deb that you agree she's likely notable but that, given the timing of current events, it's best to keep her out of mainspace to avoid the appearance of promotion? That's what I'm getting from the above conversation, although perhaps it's not so clear that everyone agrees on the subject's notability. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 11:16, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

I think it's more to avoid a dispute at the moment. If and when she is elected, she'll become notable by default. Otherwise, we can have further discussion. I haven't said that I think she's notable now, only that the article isn't eligible for speedy deletion. Deb (talk) 11:26, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Using Visual editor to edit table templates

Please do not use Visual editor to edit tables as you did here. Visual editor is incompatible with wikicode formatting. See Wikipedia:VisualEditor#Limitations. But if you absolutely must use Visual editor you need to check how your edits have affected the wikicode by looking at your revision history -- then go back in with Source edit and fix the corruption. Thanks. Pyxis Solitary yak 00:49, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Advocate (2019 film)

Thanks for writing up the Advocate article with the reviews. I think this is a lot better than the version posted in the draft. I was wonder if that should be histmerged or just forgotten about? I will tag a connected contributor part in the meantime. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:43, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

user:AngusWOOF - whatever you think is best. Just to be clear - I am not affiliated with Home Made Docs or any other commercial concern. TMagen (talk) 19:01, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

TMagen, it depends if you used that draft as a reference, or wrote yours completely from scratch. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:03, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

AngusWOOFI am aware of the draft's existence. Please note also that I am the main author of Draft:Rachel Jones - the original contribution is minor, and I wanted to write about the director, and was informed that a draft already exists. Because it was already submitted for consideration, and I am less familiar with enwiki rules than hewiki (where most of my experience is) I contributed to the draft rather than writing my own article. Was that a mistake? Should I just take my contributions and write a new article? TMagen (talk) 19:11, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

TMagen, that's fine for Rachel Jones to modify the existing draft. I was just wondering if that was done for Advocate or whether you wrote it regardless of that draft's existence. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:21, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

I wrote it regardless. TMagen (talk) 19:22, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

But regarding Rachel Jones, I am concerned about the template of undisclosed paid contribution. TMagen (talk) 19:24, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

TMagen, you can do the scrubbing of the Jones article for neutrality then and then add to the connected contributor paid template on the talk page that you checked the article. Then the UDP tag can be removed. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:27, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.

The AfroCine Project welcomes you to October, the first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to list your name under the participants section.

On English Wikipedia, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:

Rolon v. Kulwitzky

Concern has been expressed about the possibility that the text in this article (Rolon v. Kulwitzky) is a copyright violation of the material at the external link. I am trying to get access to that material but not yet successful. At the moment, this is just a heads up, but if you would like to comment it would be helpful.--S Philbrick(Talk) 17:08, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

@Sphilbrick: - which part? I didn't copy anything, I would appreciate understanding why there is a concern. I can always rewrite if any part came too close. Thanks! TMagen (talk) 20:48, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

TMagen, unfortunately I'm not at liberty at the moment to explain further. I'm arranging to get permission to give you more details. S Philbrick(Talk) 22:29, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

TMagen, The issue is now moot. Sorry, I know this is a bit puzzling but that's all I can say at this time. S Philbrick(Talk) 01:13, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

331dot, This is the message:

Editing from 85.115.44.0/22 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s): Server-multiple.svgThe IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

However - my IP is 77.125.44.172

What is going on? TMagen (talk) 16:28, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

The fact that the IPs are different would suggest that you are using a VPN or proxy, you will need to turn it off in order to edit. 331dot (talk) 16:45, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

I'm not - I just restarted my computer and didn't open any programs other than my browser in order to check it. The only VPN I ever use is my work VPN, and it doesn't mask my IP anyway. TMagen (talk) 16:53, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

The 85 IP comes up as a Forcepoint-Cloud-ES webhost. Have you changed any aspect of your editing habits since January 21(when you last edited before today), such as your physical location (I don't need to know specifically where you are)? 77.126.118.74 is also not blocked. 331dot (talk) 17:05, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

331dot - Okay, now we're getting somewhere - That IS work related... Though I am not connected to work right now (I'm home) and also I'm not sure why my work-related address should be blocked either... What can I do about this? Is there any way to unblock the ip or make an exception? It's a well-regarded international company, not a hack farm or anything shady. TMagen (talk) 17:12, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

It's going to be a couple hours before I can look at this further, if you want you can make another unblock request and someone else might be able to look at it sooner. 331dot (talk) 17:18, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

331dot, thank you, I can wait. I'd rather not open multiple conversations. TMagen (talk) 17:27, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

As you have an extensive edit history, I've given you an IP block exemption for 6 months. If this problem recurs, we can look at it again. 331dot (talk) 21:55, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

331dot, thank you! TMagen (talk) 22:42, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

331dot - as you can see this has happened again. I'd appreciate an unblock... Cheers, TMagen (talk) 11:49, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Every IP you have pointed out so far is part of Forcepoint, they seem to have several different networks, so going through each one and reducing the blocks is impractical. IPBE is better here. The problem is, I only have you editing from one of those ranges ever, which means I can't verify if it's appropriate to give IPBE in first place. Are you sure you are disabling this software properly? Because if so, you should be on a residential range very easily. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 16:38, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

(aka DQ) Yes, now I'm getting a block from home as well. Message reads: "Editing from 85.115.44.0/22 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):..." Not the same IP, still blocked. So can I get a block exemption? TMagen (talk) 17:06, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Every IP you listed is using Forcepoint VPN, there was no regular IPs. It's blocked because it's a VPN, and people use that to hide sockpuppets, as it hides their real IP and location. Policies like WP:PROXY and m:NOP govern this. I would normally take your editing history into account and just give it on that based on hewiki but you are indefinitely blocked there. While I can't fully understand why, there is a clear allegation that you used User:Tempest 88 in violation of their sock policy, and now potentially in violation of our policies without us knowing. So your good standing to apply for IPBE (a block exemption) doesn't exist at the moment. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 17:18, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

I understand your position, however I am connected to IP 77.127.98.41, not the one listed. Why would my work IP appear to you when I am at home? TMagen (talk) 10:39, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Also, the first Forcepoint IP was not a VPN but our company's on-premises server. TMagen (talk) 10:40, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Every edit that you have made is coming from the Fairpoint servers, not 77.127.98.41. If you were editing from 77.127.98.41, you would not have a block affecting you. There is no VPN/Server on that IP. If you can make an edit from home, like that 77 IP, then i'd be happy to consider IPBE for work after dealing with the potential sock issue.

And if you work at Fairpoint or a subsidiary, then yes, it would not be a VPN/proxy for you, but it would be for everyone that doesn't work at that company. I hope that provides clarity. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 21:14, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.   Sandstein 10:25, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

See my detailed explanation at: [1]: ":TMagen, see WP:CLOP. You copied whole sentences and turns of phrases, which is a copyright violation. In the first example, from [2], this is no longer apparent since somebody has now removed the text you copied from that wiki. But your copyright violation that I removed here can still be seen here. For example, among many other examples, you copied the first two sentences verbatim, without marking them as a quotation: "It has been two months since Mahit Dzmare and Three Seagrass foiled an attempted military coup on Teixcalaan—though they may have started a war to do it. Dzmare is back on her native Lsel Station, among her people but unsure if she still belongs there."

Your message leads me to conclude that you do not understand copyright or that you do not intend to abide by Wikipedia's copyright policy. This puts Wikipedia into legal jeopardy. I am therefore blocking your user account until you can convince myself or another administrator that you understand and will comply with copyright rules." Sandstein 10:27, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:

excessive and mistaken action TMagen (talk) 11:11, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Accept reason:

See below. Sandstein 11:35, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

I was blocked summarily without any opportunity for discussion, which is extreme. The long version:

I was blocked because user:Sandstein does not believe I intend to honor copyright, and required that I convince him otherwise, but he is not answering my emails. Allow me to present my case:

The first incident, which you can see above, was about the synopsis of The Starless Sea. This was 100% my bad, and was published by mistake. When I'm editing I often copy paragraphs onto my desktop for reference, and I saved it thinking I had already edited that section. I am sorry for that.

But here is a copyright analysis of The Bone Shard Daughter - there is no part of what was erased that is actually a copyright violation. Nothing was erased from the original, it is my synopsis.

https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&title=The Bone Shard Daughter&oldid=1019075674&action=search&use_engine=1&use_links=1&turnitin=0

Regarding Desolation - the first two sentences are close to the original, but the rest of what what was removed isn't, and so this is a disproportionate response. The two sentences are easily fixed.

https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&title=&oldid=1019474531&action=search&use_engine=1&use_links=1&turnitin=0

In any event, I am now familiar with the Copyvio Detector tool, and I commit to using it for any future edits, to avoid mistakes or misunderstandings, because I really do take this issue seriously.

TMagen (talk) 11:11, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

TMagen, it is good to hear that you aim to take copyright more seriously in the future. But above you continue to assert that you did not commit copyright violations, and characterize my block as "excessive and mistaken".

This is only true in part. It appears that my removal of your addition to The Bone Shard Daughter was a false positive because it matched text in a website that seems to copy its content from Wikipedia. Sorry about that. But at least your edits to The Starless Sea and A Desolation Called Peace were copyright violations because they copied somebody else's content verbatim. Not every copyright violation, particularly not close paraphrasing, can be detected by an automated tool, so don't rely on that. Instead, write all content in your own words. Don't copy anything, use only brief quotes and mark them as such.

I'm unblocking you for the time being, but will keep an eye on your edits and will re-block you if I see you commiting another copyright violation. Sandstein 11:35, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! I appreciate it very much, and promise you that I will take proper care with this. TMagen (talk) 12:12, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

LOL never mind, I see we are in agreement. TMagen (talk) 12:21, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Question about African Cinema Global Contest deadline

Hello TMagen! Seeing as you are one of the contest's juries, I thought you'd be the right person to ask.

Will the contest end when the target of 1000 created articles is reached, or at the end of this month?

Thanks for your time! Moonswimmer Mooonswimmer

Hi Mooonswimmer :) I'm so glad you are participating in AfroCine! I have not been active in this year's contest, and I probably should not have been listed on the jury... I think Jamie Tubers can answer your question. Cheers, TMagen (talk) 12:56, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Kim Michele Richardson

The article Kim Michele Richardson has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not appear to meet the Notability standard. Also, since May 2021, a warning that the major contributor to this article has a close connection with its subject. Strong possibility of COI or paid editing occurring; current discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest; thread: Kim Michele Richardson

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 09:01, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Bechdel test and Wikidata

Hello TMagen! I found this and I am very interested in the topic. How is it going with adding Bechdel test status to the wikidata and showing the result in film cards on Wikipedias? Did you or somebody else made films sortable by Bechdel test criteria? I don't work with cards a lot, but the function you described is essential :) And if so, where can I find relatable information? Thank you for any answer, Franzekafka (talk) 17:30, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

I'm not aware of any further action on this, unfortunately. I have since scaled back my wiki-related activity. TMagen (talk) 09:25, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
