Request for expansion help and review of draft sources[edit]
Greetings @DreamRimmer
Hi, I am User:Bookku, On Wikipedia I engage in, finding information and knowledge gap areas in Wikipedia and promoting expansion of related drafts and articles. Came across your user profile (from WT:ICTF ).
Requesting your visit to My Choice (2015 film) (still a draft in my userspace). As per my initial visit to visit WP:ICTF, WP:ICTFFAQ, WP:ICTFSOURCES I did not find any contentious news site issues but just came across a discussion initiated by you at WT:ICTF
It was a feminist short film which was covered by media due to some controversial feminist aspects so it's unlikely to be case of paid news. But still I request your visit to the draft My Choice (2015 film) and help evaluate sources and let me know if you think any of collated news pieces have any thing doubtful.
Please note usually I do not edit film related articles and keeping up to date on related discussions would remain difficult for me. So detail proactive contribution from users active in film topic area would be of help.
Also help expand the topic areas if you find topic interesting. Wish you very happy Wikipedia editing.
Thanks and warm regards

- Hey, thanks for the message. I'll check it out later and get back to you. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:01, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Hindustan Times 1[edit]
I thought I write down difficulty on hand vis a vis WT:ICTF#Hindustan Times otherwise I will forget later. You may take call on the same as and when you get time.
For the draft My Choice (2015 film) Hindustan Times article Sorry Deepika Padukone, these are not the choices women need by ByJyoti Sharma Bawa, New Delhi is very very highly critical of the short film. I doubt any one will pay for criticism having such level of ideological opposition. As such this article does not have any disclaimer and has an author as you said. But a general advert iphone 15 is appearing before me - but I do not see any prima facie relation of I phone brand with the short film. So I just wish to confirm this want to confirm this won't be considered publishing paid brand post.
You can look into it as and when you get time and give your feed back.
Bookku (talk) 10:36, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
Hindustan Times 2[edit]
Short film production related couple of detail seem clearer in following news piece like Deepika Padukone's role in short film is limited to "She bookends the film and is also giving the voice over". Which can be confirmed directly with Short film You tube link. Other couple of news articles in other sources are as if she is doing a lead role in short film but that is not so. Hence I would prefer to use this news piece if I get your concurrence. Shah, Jigar (14 December 2014). "After hits like Cocktail and Finding Fanny, Deepika-Homi join hands for a cause". Hindustan Times. Retrieved 2 December 2023.

Re: My Usurpation Request[edit]
Hello @DreamRimmer (sorry for taking this to your user page), but when I am well established enough, do I request another usurpation?
P.S. referencing this. LunaticBFF58 (talk) 05:16, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- @LunaticBFF58, your request was recently declined, so I don't think submitting a new one would be helpful. I've already explained the next steps, but if you feel you're eligible, please reach out to other renamers who handle requests on that page. – DreamRimmer (talk) 05:23, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Do I just submit another one (in a year or so) or do I reach out (on their talk page) to other renamers that have dealt with other usurpation requests? LunaticBFF58 (talk) 05:27, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, I misunderstood your initial message. Yes, you can submit another usurpation request after a few months once your account is well-established (eg. 2-3 months of editing and 400+ edits). – DreamRimmer (talk) 05:35, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the infomation. :) LunaticBFF58 (talk) 12:01, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Request[edit]
Hi DreamRimmer! Would you be able to help a mentee with a question they asked in Hindi at my talk page? I don't speak Hindi, and I would rather not rely on Google Translate to have a conversation. I imagine the best thing to do would be to direct them to hiwiki? (I got your name from WP:EMB.) Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 17:33, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- @HouseBlaster, thanks for giving me the opportunity to assist. I've responded to that message :) – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:46, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
85 tiny edits very quickly[edit]
[1] In a rush for something? Tempted to block frankly for disruptive editing, but probably won't. Doug Weller talk 15:47, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Doug Weller, yes, this is disruptive. They are action-blocked from moving pages and files. I don't think they are taking this encyclopedia seriously. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:58, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- Would you object to an indefinite block? Doug Weller talk 16:00, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- No, they have received enough warnings, yet their behavior clearly indicates they are NOTHERE. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:07, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- Blocked. They then made similar edits to:their signature and I’ve rarely seen such odd unblock request. More time wasting. Doug Weller talk 19:21, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello DreamRimmer.[edit]
I am new to this Online encyclopedia, (not new to html), So do you know how to create a page? I am currently trying to make a article on the Kuku malware, as i was affected by it, and there is no article on it already. ColourMaster16 (talk) 23:26, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- @ColourMaster16, welcome to Wikipedia! Please take a moment to read Help:Your first article for guidance on creating an article. Its simple wording would be very helpful to you. – DreamRimmer (talk) 10:46, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-15[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
- Web browsers can use tools called extensions. There is now a Chrome extension called Citation Needed which you can use to see if an online statement is supported by a Wikipedia article. This is a small experiment to see if Wikipedia can be used this way. Because it is a small experiment, it can only be used in Chrome in English.
- A new Edit Recovery feature has been added to all wikis, available as a user preference. Once you enable it, your in-progress edits will be stored in your web browser, and if you accidentally close an editing window or your browser or computer crashes, you will be prompted to recover the unpublished text. Please leave any feedback on the project talk page. This was the #8 wish in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey.
- Initial results of Edit check experiments have been published. Edit Check is now deployed as a default feature at the wikis that tested it. Let us know if you want your wiki to be part of the next deployment of Edit check. [2][3]
- Readers using the Minerva skin on mobile will notice there has been an improvement in the line height across all typography settings. [4]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 April. It will be on all wikis from 11 April (calendar). [5][6]
- New accounts and logged-out users will get the visual editor as their default editor on mobile. This deployment is made at all wikis except for the English Wikipedia. [7]

Hey, I posted a query at this request, since the requestor's rename reason covers the concern I had, do you think in a day or so, go head and process the request anyway? - FlightTime (open channel) 19:54, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- @FlightTime, you can proceed with the rename as there is no reason for us to decline it. Also, one suggestion for you: If the requested username is their real name, there's no need to seek their confirmation. Just go ahead and process the request. The instructions at the top of the request page and edit notice clearly warn them with the following note when they request a rename: Please understand the implications of using your real name before requesting a name change to it. – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:51, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-16[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.
Problems
- Between 2 April and 8 April, on wikis using Flagged Revisions, the "Reverted" tag was not applied to undone edits. In addition, page moves, protections and imports were not autoreviewed. This problem is now fixed. [8][9]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 April. It will be on all wikis from 18 April (calendar). [10][11]
- Default category sort keys will now affect categories added by templates placed in footnotes. Previously footnotes used the page title as the default sort key even if a different default sort key was specified (category-specific sort keys already worked). [12]
- A new variable
page_last_edit_age
will be added to abuse filters. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made. [13]
Future changes
- Volunteer developers are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. Learn more.
- Four database fields will be removed from database replicas (including Quarry). This affects only the
abuse_filter
andabuse_filter_history
tables. Some queries might need to be updated. [14]

Question from Hypersuperultra on List of Tales of Arcadia characters (04:20, 17 April 2024)[edit]
Hello, just wanted to ask what about this specifically is in-universe? I have a few ideas such as eliminating extra unnecessary pieces of lore but I'm not sure what else or if that's too much and I'm going overboard --Hypersuperultra (talk) 04:20, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Review Request[edit]
Hi Sir. Hope you are doing well. Can you please review my recent page Alaap (2024 film).
Thanks
BhikhariInformer (talk) 14:01, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- @BhikhariInformer, I don't think this film meets NFF criteria, so I can only review it after its release. – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:48, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- Okay.

Draft Review[edit]
Please Review my draft Draft:Amit Pachori (actor) please give your opinion Thanks in advance. 2409:4071:D8B:767F:0:0:EFC8:670C (talk) 15:03, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- It appears notable under the WP:NACTOR criteria, but there are many unsourced credits in the filmography section. Please add reliable sources for them or remove them if you are unable to find sources. Once that's taken care of, I'd be more than happy to accept this submission. – DreamRimmer (talk) 16:02, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- Many Unsourced credits have been removed; some credits have Wikipedia pages, so they were not removed. 2409:4071:D1D:92DE:0:0:EF88:D501 (talk) 14:07, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Done – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:26, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

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
- Starting this week, newcomers editing Wikipedia will be encouraged to try structured tasks. Structured tasks have been shown to improve newcomer activation and retention. [15]
- You can nominate your favorite tools for the fifth edition of the Coolest Tool Award. Nominations will be open until May 10.

Future changes
- This is the last warning that by the end of May 2024 the Vector 2022 skin will no longer share site and user scripts/styles with old Vector. For user-scripts that you want to keep using on Vector 2022, copy the contents of Special:MyPage/vector.js to Special:MyPage/vector-2022.js. There are more technical details available. Interface administrators who foresee this leading to lots of technical support questions may wish to send a mass message to your community, as was done on French Wikipedia. [18]

Hello @DreamRimmer, can you make test changes with the bot for bureaucrats to see? Lionel Cristiano? 20:24, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Lionel Cristiano, I'm just waiting for any bureaucrat to respond. If they ask, I'll happily make some test edits. – DreamRimmer (talk) 10:36, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Bureaucrats are not very interested, if you make a test change and present it to the bureaucrats, they may give you bot status. Lionel Cristiano? 10:41, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if running an unapproved bot is allowed on Turkish Wikipedia or not, so I'll only be able to make test edits if someone requests them on the bot request page. – DreamRimmer (talk) 10:47, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia Rules on Living person Biography[edit]
Hello @DreamRimmer, recently i have added some information with reliable reference on Ravindra Singh Bhati, related to his criminal charges, he is a political figure and there are six criminal charges on him but some wiki user removed that information stating that it is unnecessary information , please let me know that is such information against or not to Wikipedia rules.
