Happy Holidays

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. ―Buster7 ☎

Thanks for your decency

Thank you so much for being so generous and kind to my student, who is really trying her best on her Wiki entries despite the past mistakes. Your encouragement and help has made a big difference for a new editor who is really passionate about adding to Wikipedia. Thanks again. EtruscanMayhem (talk) 17:45, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you for your kind words and for leaving this note; I'm happy to see that the student has taken this well. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 05:34, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Re:copyvio at Georgia-related pages

Hey Red-tailed hawk, I noticed your comment here.[1] I suspect that these instances of copyright violations may be connected to this blocked user [2] Pinging Diannaa - LouisAragon (talk) 21:48, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello. I've restored a cv-unsure template to the article so that the note on the talk page can be discussed. I'm a bit loath to slap a {{copyvio}} tag and send to Copyproblems with out a more definitive look, since I can't myself look at the book sources. I was unaware of the historical Georgian copyvio problem; thank you for making the connection and pinging someone who's much more likely to know than me. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 21:55, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi there. I don't remember this user. He did not have any edits to this particular article. — Diannaa (talk) 22:30, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

While not specifically targeting this particular article, he [Georgiano] has edited numerous similar articles. The likelihood of someone disseminating copyright violations in articles related to the Medieval era of a relatively unknown country with a population of four million is rather low (based on my experience). Moreover, I believe that only Georgiano has been responsible for the dissemination of Georgia-related copyright violations to this extent. - LouisAragon (talk) 16:02, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks

For your current activity at Copy Patrol. S Philbrick(Talk) 14:17, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Igor Mangushev

Could you consider dropping by Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Igor Mangushev and addressing some of the issues raised? My apologies for how long this review has taken, but trying to get it moving. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:57, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi! I had forgotten entirely about this review (Upon reading your message, I initially had thought this was the first time I had heard about it, but after checking my email it looks like I got a ping in July about it). I can try to take a look at some point over the next week, though I will admit that I am an absolute novice as it pertains to A-class reviews. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 20:07, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

@Hawkeye7: I've looked over the item. I broadly agree that there is an issue with comprehensiveness in the article; I think the article is broad in coverage, but I don't think it's quite comprehensive (surely, there has to be some Russian-language coverage of his childhood or life prior to turning 23 somewhere), so honestly I don't think the article is going to be up to A-class standards without additional research and substance in the article. I'm also not quite able to remedy this—my Russian-language skills are limited to doing things like saying "hi"—so I don't think I'm quite going to be able to get the article over the A-class hump. I'll note that I haven't really been actively involved in maintaining the article since February/March; I played no part in the GA review process, and CT55555 alone deserves the credit for getting the article up to GA quality from B/C-class. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 00:51, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

That's okay. I did not know who did what so I asked you both. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 03:50, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Copyright revdel

Hi Red-tailed hawk, if you have time I'd be grateful for your opinion on what the threshold is for an article getting a copyvio revdel tag. For the record here are my rewrites to a new article take care of some copying/minor paraphrasing from sources. (There were also a few things off about some of the text that were also included in the rewrites.) Best, CMD (talk) 02:58, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I'll try to get you a proper response over the next couple of days. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 03:32, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Welcome to the admin's common room

I've now given you your mop. Your armchair is the one nearest the bins. You are expected to make the tea and take out the garbage until the next new admin comes along. SilkTork (talk) 03:12, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
