Replaceable fair use File:Conservative protests in South Korea Feb 2017.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Conservative protests in South Korea Feb 2017.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Train2104 (t • c) 19:02, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

Your contributed article, 2016–17 protests against the impeachment of Park Geun-hye

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.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, 2016–17 protests against the impeachment of Park Geun-hye. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – 2016–2017 South Korean protests. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at 2016–2017 South Korean protests – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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 removed 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 22:10, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of 2016–17 protests against the impeachment of Park Geun-hye

The article 2016–17 protests against the impeachment of Park Geun-hye has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:POVFORK of 2016–2017 South Korean protests

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 22:11, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

@Finnusertop: Discussions for separation are ongoing at the talk page of 2016–2017 South Korean protests. A separate page was requested in advance for the detailed rationale. The page should not be deleted until a consensus reached. Also, I think that the separation is necessary, because they are two distinct protests of large scales. It would be awkward to merge the articles of anti-Trump protests and pro-Trump rallies into a single page. I think the same applies here. --Cyberdoomslayer (talk) 03:33, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

My apologies, I wasn't aware of the on-going discussions. I should have looked for that. I have no opinion here other than let's see what kind of consensus those discussions produce. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 03:37, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for seeking out a photo for the Kim Jong Un page. You have saved countless people from endless grief.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:52, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment. I was actually one of them too. :) --Cyberdoomslayer (talk) 07:09, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

April 2018

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on 2018 Winter Olympics. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. 331dot (talk) 00:42, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

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 ~~~~}}.  331dot (talk) 00:54, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Cyberdoomslayer (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

@331dot: I stepped proper measures against vandalism on sourced content. The protest photo that the user Mobius6 consistently tried to delete is clearly cited in the paragraph. I reverted few times against the vandalism, put a warning sign on the user's talk page, and reported to the administrator's page about the vandalism. The block against my action would be improper, since I did not commit a serious editing war and proceeded with proper steps to prevent vandalism. I sincerely request for a nullification of this block. Thank you. Cyberdoomslayer (talk) 01:01, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

After consulting with a Korean-speaking user, I do not think that any of the edit warring exemptions apply to either you or the other user. As such, I am declining this unblock request. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:04, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

The block will be reviewed by an uninvolved administrator; I cannot review a block I made. However, it is important to not confuse vandalism, a deliberate effort to deface an article, with edits that you merely disagree with. The other user gave the reason here that they felt the image was not neutral. I don't know if they are correct or not at this time, but it is a reason for their edit and not vandalism. After my warning to each of you, you should have stopped reverting; being correct is not a defense to edit warring. You should have attempted to discuss the matter with the other user on the article talk page, and failing that, using the dispute resolution procedures available to you. Failing that, you could then report the other user. But you should not edit war yourself, even if the other party does. 331dot (talk) 01:09, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

@331dot: So, you just assumed that it might be not neutral, because you don't understand the Korean language on the card. It is a typical anti-government protest, and the topic of the paragraph is about the Olympics controversy against the South Korean government. Since it is properly cited in the paragraph, the mere factual depiction of the protest is nothing about neutrality issues. Also, it only says "Against the Pyongyang Olympics, Moon disaster" on the card, so there is no inappropriate language either. Again, this is not a neutrality issue, but a vandalism on sourced content issue. --Cyberdoomslayer (talk) 01:22, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

From Wikipedia:Edit_warring#Exemptions, Point 4 "Reverting obvious vandalism—edits that any well-intentioned user would agree constitute vandalism, such as page blanking and adding offensive language.". The word Obvious being bolded. To me, a completely uninvolved admin - this is not obvious. Even if it reads as you say - the exemption specifies obvious vandalism such as blanking or offensive language - which I am not seeing. I do not speak Korean, so I will leave this request open in the hopes that a korean speaker can help us. SQL^{Query me!} 02:34, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

• I've declined above, but I just came across the unblock request by the other user, and made them this offer that I'll also put to you for fairness: if you agree to 0RR on the page in question for the next 72 hours? If so, and if 331dot has no objections, I am fine unblocking on these terms. 0RR meaning that you agree not revert any edits by any user on that page. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:15, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I agree with it. So if I am unblocked, the block log would be cancelled out, right? --Cyberdoomslayer (talk) 03:27, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

There typically is no way to remove a block log entry. If @TonyBallioni: unblocks you - you would simply no longer be prohibited from editing. SQL^{Query me!} 03:31, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

If you are unblocked, it will note the admin who unblocked you, and a reason. When I unblock with conditions (like this), I also like to permalink to the discussion so others can easily understand the context of the unblock. Block logs are not redacted on the English Wikipedia, however. If 331dot has no objections to unblocking, I'll go ahead and do so. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:35, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

TonyBallioni SQL I have no objections. 331dot (talk) 08:04, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

With the consent of the blocking admin and because I unblocked the other side of this edit-war, I have lifted your block. You have been unblocked but are subject to 0RR for the next 72 hours. That means no reverts for the next 72 hours. After that time, assuming you have abided by the restriction, you will no longer be subject to any restrictions other than normal Wikipedia policy. If you have any questions, please ask! --Yamla (talk) 12:17, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

With gratitude

		Valued Picture Barnstar
		In appreciation of your bringing to an end a years-long search for a free image of Kim Jong-un, I am immensely pleased to be able to proffer this barnstar to you, with sincere thanks! Snow let's rap 04:54, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Ways to improve Dream Concert (South Korea)

Thanks for creating Dream Concert (South Korea).

A New Page Patroller Rosguill just tagged the page as having some issues to fix, and wrote this note for you:

While I wouldn't suggest that you necessarily change or remove the list that is in the article, the article needs additional prose content describing the subject.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can reply over here and ping me. Or, for broader editing help, you can talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
