Related to Karsonya Wise Whitehead

Hello please explain the note you placed on Karsonya Wise Whitehead's page - I checked and everything listed is linked to another citation and not just to the WEAA page

This article or section may have been copied and pasted from another location, possibly in violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Please review https://www.weaa.org/people/karsonya-wise-whitehead#stream/0 (DupDet · CopyVios) and remedy this by editing this article to remove any non-free copyrighted content and attributing free content correctly, or flagging the content for deletion. Please be sure that the supposed source of the copyright violation is not itself a Wikipedia mirror. (January 2020)

Mommado5 (talk) 01:25, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

@Mommado5: The notice is not related to citations or sources. The current sources are reliable enough. The problem is about possible copyright violation, which means, you cannot simply copy and paste content from anywhere else outside of Wikipedia. Try to change the wordings/rearrange the words, so that the sentences in Wikipedia article is not word-by-word same to any other source. See WP:COPYPASTE to understand more about this. And don't worry, this notice do not endanger the existence of Karsonya Wise Whitehead article, and you don't have to act fast. Be calm and edit freely. Then contact me here, I will remove the notice. Monitor the copyright violation status here. --SouravDas1998^{t@lk to me?} 18:58, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Concerning Jai Prakash Menon

Hello, could you elaborate a bit why you accepted (via pending-changes review) the unexplained removal of content on said article? For me it looks, at first sight, a bit like white-washing. I have undone the IP's edit and your acceptance of it. Regards. Lectonar (talk) 14:50, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

@Lectonar: thanks for noticing it. I have done it mistakenly. No explanation is needed. It was clearly an "unexplained removal of content". I am sorry for this. Thanks again for noticing it and contacting me. --SouravDas1998^{t@lk to me?} 18:49, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Just be careful in reviewing pending changes. Regards. Lectonar (talk) 07:09, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Signpost interview request - Random Page Patrol

Hello! I'm writing an article for The Signpost about the Random Page Patrol wikiproject. We often do interviews with Wikiproject members, and I saw your name on the list of members. As an member and long-time Wiki contributor, I'd love to ask about the project, why you do it, and why you think it's valuable. I could drop a few questions for you below which you could answer in your own time over the next couple of weeks. Let me know - thank you! Ganesha811 (talk) 19:24, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

@Ganesha811: Sure! SouravDas1998^{t@lk to me?} 20:28, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

That's great! I'll drop the questions below - if you could answer them by September 20th, 10 days from now, that would be ideal. If you have any questions or clarifications, just ask. Thank you! Ganesha811 (talk) 12:55, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

• How did you come across the Random Page Patrol?
• Why did you decide to become a random page patroller? What do you find valuable about the project?
• How often do you randomly page patrol? Do you use it mostly as a break from other Wikipedia contributions, or is it a major part of how you spend your time here?
• Are there any articles you have edited as part of the Random Page Patrol that particularly stand out in your memory?
• What would you say to someone considering joining the Patrol?
• Is there anything else you'd like to add that I haven't asked you?

Hi @Souravdas1998: just a reminder. If you could answer the interview questions by the end of the day tomorrow, that would be ideal - thank you again! Ganesha811 (talk) 12:11, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

@Ganesha811:, here are my responses.

• How did you come across the Random Page Patrol?

I joined Wikipedia in 2016 when I got my first internet connection after passing high school. That was an overwhelming experience for me. I never knew that anybody can edit Wikipedia articles. I always thought that there are some highly qualified staff, just like Google, who write articles. Then I read the guides, whether really anyone can edit the articles? Then I slowly started editing articles and knowing the whole process. After that, I came across many WikiProjects and various user rights, which motivated me more to edit articles. At that time, I came across the "Random Page Patrol".

• Why did you decide to become a random page patroller? What do you find valuable about the project?

Until then, I was just an "autoconfirmed user". Initially, most beginner Wikipedians may dream of becoming an administrator. But, the real goal is to create new articles following Wikipedia policies, maintain the articles by preventing acts such as vandalism, and maintaining the community as a whole, involving tasks such as welcoming newcomers, etc. But, all of the above can also be done by an "autoconfirmed user". I also remained an "autoconfirmed user" for most of the time. One day, I decided to patrol random pages and do corrections of any grammatical mistakes, errors, citations. That's when I became a Random Page Patroller. Becoming a Random Page Patroller is very valuable, since, there may be an article buried deep inside from the sights of regular Wikipedians, but many live errors may remain present in the article. Randomness will make sure that such articles are also patrolled by Wikipedians.

• How often do you randomly page patrol? Do you use it mostly as a break from other Wikipedia contributions, or is it a major part of how you spend your time here?

In the earlier years of mine as a Wikipedian, I was mostly a Random Page Patroller. After that, I got to know that Vandalism is a very serious problem in Wikipedia. That's why, I started using Huggle, and was a very busy Wikipedian preventing Vandalisms. But keeping watch on Vandalism becomes hectic most of the time. Whenever I want less stress, I do Random Page Patrolling.

• Are there any articles you have edited as part of the Random Page Patrol that particularly stand out in your memory?

Yes, I found the list article List of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize recipients which had some outdated information and statistics. I updated the list and the statistics. It stands out in my memory because I am also a physicist in the making, and this article is related to the scientists who get the most prestigious multidisciplinary award in India.

• What would you say to someone considering joining the Patrol?

I will suggest the newbies to take advantage of randomness, which is a very powerful tool, not only in Wikipedia but throughout the world. People may get life partners through random encounters. Wikipedians may also come across neglected Wikipedia articles, and it will be a nice opportunity to improve the article and add their contributions.

• Is there anything else you'd like to add that I haven't asked you?

I will just add that don't run behind various roles in Wikipedia, otherwise, the goal to maintain such a project won't fulfil. Just contribute as you like and apply for the roles as required. Also, always behave well with other Wikipedians, especially the amateur ones, who do unintentional mistakes. SouravDas1998^{t@lk to me?} 13:12, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll ping you before publication so you can look over the article to make sure I'm not misrepresenting you, since there may be some editing. Ganesha811 (talk) 17:24, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Okay, sure! SouravDas1998^{t@lk to me?} 12:43, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

@Souravdas1998: - the article has been edited. It's at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/WikiProject report - please check it out ahead of publication on Sunday, and if you feel I've changed the meaning of any of your answers through editing, let me know and I'll fix it. Thank you again for participating! Ganesha811 (talk) 14:05, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

@Ganesha811: Alright! I checked it and everything is right. Thank You SouravDas1998^{t@lk to me?} 14:58, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
