Hi @Paper9oll, a minor issue regarding Elixir is that it doesn't appear at the side for Draft pages, at least for me. It works fine on mainspace pages for me. FormatterTagger used to appear for Draft pages as well, so I'm not sure if this is a bug or intentional. Thanks! — Chyx1095 (🗣️ • 📜) 15:56, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

@Chyx1095  Fixed — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 16:06, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

@Paper9oll Alright it's there now. Thanks again! — Chyx1095 (🗣️ • 📜) 16:14, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

@Paper9oll Sorry, it seems like after installation, all my regular edits have "undefined, " automatically added to the front of the edit summary after clicking Publish, whether on mainspace or draftspace. Doesn't happen on my user sandbox though. Any idea why? — Chyx1095 (🗣️ • 📜) 17:34, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
• A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.

Technical news

• The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.

Arbitration

• Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.

Miscellaneous

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Hi, I'm sorry. I'm beginner, I just learned how to add a source. Let me edit my unfinished entry. Thank you for understanding. Aizaize (talk) 10:25, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Aizaize, please refrain from publishing your edit(s) without providing an inline citation in the form of WP:RELIABLE SOURCES. When adding reliable sources, please ensure that you don't add the inline citation as WP:BAREURL, please do it by using the citation templates instead (example: here). Do also get yourself familarize with the list of sourcing considered as unreliable at WP:KO/RS and WP:RSPSS, Soompi is considered as unreliable source hence I've partially reverted your edit from Yoo Yeon-seok. Lastly, please do not add bold syntax unnecessary per WP:BOLD hence I've partially reverted your edit from both Yoo Yeon-seok and Chae Soo-bin. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 12:16, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

@Aizaize Noted, happy editing! — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 12:47, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Paper9oll I noticed your recent contribution to the theatre section of Chae Soo-bin, I'm not too sure, but I think the inclusion of venues and dates isn't considered WP:NOT. I've had a look at other Wikipedia pages of actors that do theatre and it seems that at minimum, venues are included in tables. Some notable actors I've found with good/featured article status with a theatre section are Denzel Washington, Jonathan Groff, and Cate Blanchett. Again, I'm not too sure, but let me know your thoughts. Thanks. thatonerandomgirl♥【💬】 13:01, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

@Thatonerandomgirl Those columns are clearly WP:NOT, as they provide excessive detail that is not essential to the subject's biography. This is analogous to stating that a filmography table should be including a venue column to denote where the series that the subject appeared in was filmed or a date column to denote when exactly the subject appeared in a series. The core information has been included and that is sufficient. For those GA and/or FA examples, read the concept of WP:OTHER however the same analogy should applies. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 17:35, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

@Paper9oll I just want to preface that it is not my intention to retaliate against you, I just want to seek clarity for future reference on how to approach the inclusion of stage/theatre performances. I'm still not too familiar on the whole breadth of Wikipedia's manual of style and policies, so I'm simply trying to seek advice and knowledge from an experienced editor like yourself. That being said, I wouldn't say that including such detail would be analogous to stating that venues and dates need to be included in a filmography table, since that is clearly WP:NOT. I think I lack a bit of clarity with how good/featured articles include venues for theatre performances at a minimum, which seems to be notable? I think the logic stems from the idea that the venue of a stage performance signifies the scale/commercial significance of the performance (e.g. performing in a broadway theatre vs. a local theatre). And I've read through WP:OTHER and it is my understanding that "While comparing with other articles is not, in general, a convincing argument, comparing with articles that have been through some kind of quality review such as Featured article, Good article, or have achieved a WikiProject A class rating, makes a much more credible case". Or is the case that this is WP:WikiProject Korea so a different WP:MOS applies? Again, I hope I'm not overstepping, I'm just trying to learn, I really appreciate your input! 🙏 thatonerandomgirl♥【💬】 07:15, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

@Thatonerandomgirl I appreciate your points, but I still believe that including the venue column would be WP:NOT and WP:EXCESSDETAIL. My earlier analogy with filmography tables was intended to illustrate this point: including the filming location for every film an actor appears in would be considered excessive and unnecessary. You've mentioned that some featured and good articles include venue information. However, I believe that relying solely on these examples, particularly those from Western contexts where the "broadway theatre" distinction may holds significant weight, may not be entirely applicable for South Korean contexts. Regardless, I don't see how such information is considered as essential and important to a Korean BLP article(s). — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 08:14, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

@Paper9oll Alright, noted. I'll proceed as per advice on Korean BLPs. Thank you for taking the time to clarify things, it's very much appreciated! thatonerandomgirl♥【💬】 08:55, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

@Thatonerandomgirl No problem, happy editing! — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 08:59, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi, some Korean actresses' Wikipedia pages do not include popularity or voting based nominations, as these are not judged on acting ability. Such nominations usually involve 10-20 actresses and are only listed if they result in a win. This approach aims to ensure that the information remains professional and meaningful. Therefore, I respectfully suggest that similar nominations be considered for removal from Kim Ji-won's Wikipedia page. 🙏 Only14gee (talk) 08:03, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

@Only14gee Read WP:OTHER. As far as I'm aware of, there is no such consensus existing having been editing for 11 years hence I'm not sure where you even gotten this "consensus" from unless you happened to be operating another WP:SOCK account. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 08:04, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi there @Paper9oll, what do you think about the Universe League contents that I splitted into List of Universe League contestants but it was restored by other editor? I left a message on their talk page and they replied but I'm not sure how will I reply back as I agree to disagree to their rationale. 𝙳.𝟷𝟾𝚝𝚑 (𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚔) 09:33, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

@D.18th Looking through their rationale, I don't find their rather WP:OWNership explanation complying either. My suggestion is following the WP:BRD process as your BOLD has been Reverted on Universe League hence I would suggest that you performed R for List of Universe League contestants also till Discuss yield consensus, if any. As for my opinion, is it necessary to split those WP:NOT and WP:EXCESSDETAIL instead of removing it altogether? While I understand that those NOT and EXCESSDETAIL are used by various South Korean competition show hence it was there. A good example would be Squid Game: The Challenge which previously has such a table before it was removed altogether through multiple edits from 9 April 2024. Another analogous example would be stating that South Korean music programs (for example: Inkigayo) should have similar table tracking the progress of the overall weekly result (not referring to just the Winner) on who is performer, what they performed, what's the score received by the Top 3, etc. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 12:22, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Paper9oll, I noticed a bug in the detection of Korean text within parentheses to apply the {{lang|ko|...}} template within File: links, so I need to remove them manually everytime. For example in the case of (여자)아이들, it becomes ({{lang|ko|여자}})아이들, which breaks the File: link. But the behaviour seems weirder now, as the template seems to close at a later closing parenthesis, like in Miyeon and Minnie. Furthermore for Soyeon, I found that the File: link that comes after a {{Main|...}} template seem to merge together in a funny way.

Hello! You marked the photo I uploaded as possible copyright violation, could I just ask why? What do I need to do to get it uploaded correctly? I've asked the fansite to email the permissions-commons email but what can I do after they send their email? BrightSightLight (talk) 13:01, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I've addressed copyright violation earlier at Talk:Taeyeon linking to two policies. If you claim that "I was given permission by the fansite to use this picture and other pictures of theirs" is true, then you or the original author are required to submit the evidence of permission to VRT. Furthermore, I'm not entirely sure on the purpose of proposing a 2023 image, especially considering that you kept on requesting on updating to a 2024 or later image. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 13:07, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Okay noted! Thanks! I've asked the original author to submit permission now. Also, for me the issue isn't updating a 2024 or later image. BrightSightLight (talk) 13:12, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello there, I just received your message regarding the recent addition I made in the philantrophy field. I saw that an instagram post was used as reference for the W korea statement hence why I adapted this method. The briquettes volunteering activities only came to light through the instagram post. The writing on the cake says "Actress Kim ji-won nim , today is the one year anniversary of your briquette donation! I miss you so much❤" and it was posted on the 14th of January 2024. Lovelyroots (talk) 16:05, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Lovelyroots, the W Korea sourcing is clearly from W Korea's official Instagram account. However, the same cannot be said for your edit. Regardless, I have replaced the Instagram sourcing with the W Korea website as sourcing instead. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 16:15, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi Paper90ll , Hope you are doing well.

I understand they are industry awards but why the rules bring followed for one artist only. Please help me undeerstand this better Jnc xavier (talk) 20:11, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Jnc xavier, by WP:BRD, I meant on Talk:RM (musician) where any involved or uninvolved editor(s) can participate in hence I will not be addressing your query here. If you've posted on the mentioned talk page, I will only address it tomorrow morning or afternoon, if applicable. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 20:12, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

WP:BRD is a general construct, BRD says we need to get into a consensus if we have differing opinions, we do not seem to be getting there. BRD is a not a wiki rule but rather a respect among editors. You seem to be working on personal vendetta without much thought to addressing fellow editor's concerns which is not right and unfair to editor forum Jnc xavier (talk) 20:19, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

@Jnc xavier Which part of my earlier statement "by WP:BRD, I meant on Talk:RM (musician) where any involved or uninvolved editor(s) can participate in" is unclear? If you (Jnc xavier), doesn't start a Dicussion on Talk:RM (musician) to gain WP:DISCUSSCONSENSUS (linked to a policy since you stated "BRD is a not a wiki rule" hence now you cannot deny that) hence how is this statement "BRD says we need to get into a consensus if we have differing opinions, we do not seem to be getting there" even achievable? And also, this statement "You seem to be working on personal vendetta without much thought to addressing fellow editor's concerns" is an false accusations and/or personal attacks, in which I clearly stated in the above red notice in bold that it won't be tolerated, you were told to WP:BRD after your Bold edits were Reverted twice hence you're required to Discuss at Talk:RM (musician) as already clearly stated above in my reply. If you refuses to listen then this is considered as signs of disruptive editing. Lastly, also noting that you attempted to communicate with me only whereas another editor (@RachelTensions FYI) also Reverted your Bold edits which was why I stated to Discuss on Talk:RM (musician) so that "any involved [including me and RachelTensions] or uninvolved editor(s) can participate in". — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 06:07, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

@KPopMachine your statement "I just love to see Kpop articles going according to their kpop profiles and kpopping" indicates that your edits are based on personal preference, which is not permitted under Wikipedia's policy on performing edits that are purely just WP:COSMETIC.

Sometimes, Googling is faster. Both terms are different. A singer-songwriter both writes and performs their own songs. A songwriter primarily focuses on crafting the composition—the lyrics and melody—of a song. They may or may not perform the song themselves. Many songwriters work behind the scenes, writing for other artists. — 🧧🍊 Paper9oll 🍊🧧 (🔔 • 📝) 21:35, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I'm the person using the previous IP. Taiwanese names are typically hyphenated (e.g Lai Ching-te). According to WP:CHINESE, a hyphen should separate the syllables of a two-character given name. Based on a reliable source (koreatimes.co.kr) the full name is hyphenated. 183.171.115.51 (talk) 15:41, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

The Korea Times is Korean news media where hyphen is relatively common when writing first name. Do you have Taiwanese news media to demonstrate that instead which would be more accurate to reflect your quoted statement. — 🧧🍊 Paper9oll 🍊🧧 (🔔 • 📝) 15:54, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Didn't found anything specific to Shuhua but found the pratice of hyphening the name is common on Taiwanese media, see taiwannews.com for the singer Tzuyu. It wasn't my main point bringing up the news media rather the WP:CHINESE, as the manual encourages the use of hyphen when romanizing people name. 183.171.115.51 (talk) 16:15, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello! I have another question for you who is regular editor of South Korean entertainment industry. I've noticed a lot of inconsistency in reference translation, especially regarding TV series. Some use literal translation of the series' Korean title, while others use article name (e.g. Compare Let's Get Married, You Silly Goose! to My Merry Marriage). I followed the latter equality with article name on English Wikipedia. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 15:53, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Clariniie, I wasn't entirely clear on your question, but I'll do my best to address it. IMO, inconsistencies in translation within inline citations are likely due to the use of translation tools. I also don't think all editors editing in this area are well-versed in Korean to translate it to English without using tools, in which we don't have strict guidelines on prohibiting such, from my observations of the practices, coherence appears to be the primary factor for acceptance. Regarding your question about article titles, I believe they generally follow WP:COMMONNAME. If a common name cannot be established, the preferred name from the series's official website is the outcome. Often, the URL is the only place where the English title is consistently present. If neither a common name nor official English information is available from the website, a literal translation is the outcome. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 16:28, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

i’m not sure if my last 2 messages sent but please communicate with me on why my illit artistry writings keep getting deleted even after i corrected it the exact why the guidelines require me to. Getting warnings for doing nothing wrong has been incredibly frustrating and makes it so hard to remain patient and understanding. Please verbalize to me what the problem is. It went from “not correct sources” because I used an instagram link to “you’re working for illit” because of how much details I put and now to “you’re being disruptive” just for fixing my previous edits. Sorry for ranting but this feels so unfair. Helpinghandsinhands (talk) 11:11, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

@Helpinghandsinhands You were clearly informed by RachelTensions (here), Drmies (here), RachelTensions again (here) and Skywatcher68 (here) that your edits were unacceptable. Therefore, your rationale is unfounded. You were explicitly told that your edits were unacceptable in their entirety, not just in isolated instances. Being reverted by three editors clearly indicates that your edits are problematic. Furthermore, reverting/restoring your edits five times after these warnings constitutes disruptive editing and/or edit warring. Additionally, you were provided a list of links titled "Welcome to Wikipedia!", which you clearly did not read. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 11:43, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

this is not specific enough for my liking but another user instead specified better for me and actually pointed out where i went wrong, but thanks anyways. and i did read the welcome to wikipedia page. Helpinghandsinhands (talk) 12:37, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

@Helpinghandsinhands If you found another response more useful, then that's fine. The "Welcome to Wikipedia" is a starting point, not a solution to every editing issue. It contains links to core policies, but reading it doesn't guarantee you've absorbed or fully understood all the relevant guidelines. Just so you know, "not specific enough for my liking" is not valid rationale to continue your disruptive editing. Lastly, you've exceeded WP:3RR threshold, so you must obtain WP:CONSENSUS per WP:BRD at Talk:Illit to restore any materials, even if you made changes that you assumed were correct or "nothing wrong". — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 12:49, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

i was not going to continue editing without an explanation, so please don’t worry about that. i have paused for several hours everytime i am given an explanation to restart and change things. don’t think of my questions or concerns as a warning or anything. i just ask for more details to understand things better, but i still appreciate you directing me to specific links regardless. i am working on fixing things and taking that users critiques into consideration.

@Helpinghandsinhands I want to reiterate that "restart and change things" does not mean you can simply re-add your edited material to the article. Because you have exceeded the WP:3RR threshold, you must obtain WP:CONSENSUS at Talk:Illit before restoring any of your edits, regardless of any changes you make. This is not about "restarting; it's about following Wikipedia's policies and engaging in collaborative discussion to reach an agreement. Continuing to edit the main article without consensus will be considered disruptive. Please focus your efforts on the Talk:Illit page to discuss your proposed changes and seek consensus. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 14:06, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi Paper9oll! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Kim Hye-yoon several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Kim Hye-yoon, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:46, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

If you believe an IP account is evading a block, please report that account, rather than edit-warring. Be aware that you'll need to present evidence supporting your claim. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:47, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Liz, just to clarify. I reverted mainly due to copyright image and also WP:DENY, however duly noted moving forward. I have reported the multiple IPs (not just one since they're switching back and forth) to SPI and AIV for block evasion with evidence presented. Also requested for protection at RPPI with SPI linked. Also, reported the sockmaster (Phoebetan10) behind these multiple IPs on Commons side since it was observed that immediately the sockmaster uploaded an image there, it was immediately added here, this should prevent any further copyright image addition from socks. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 20:53, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

 Done for SkyTV to KT ENA.

 Not done for KT SkyLife to KT SkyLife as there is no such thing as moving KT SkyLife pointing back to itself.
