Xo4v (talk) 22:37, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

I can send you a copy by email, but you will have to activate your Wikipedia email first. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:41, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi

Thank you for making the changes to the page about the 1796 Russo-Persian War. BEFOR01 (talk) 16:55, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:KQZR the reel logo.png

Thank you for uploading File:KQZR the reel logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:56, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa. Just letting you know about this as a courtesy. FWIW, I can't really see how this file is any different than File:The Reel FM Radio Logo.png being used in the main infobox; so, I'm not really sure why it needed to be replaced. Two non-free files of essentially the same logo in the same file format aren't needed per WP:NFCC#3a; so, if you think it's better to keep the one you uploaded, things might need to be discussed at WP:FFD. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:01, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

It's okay to delete this one. Thet are both the same. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 11:34, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

Thank You For Pointing Out that I Didn't Make An Attribution! You Made Me Learn! :D

Thank You For Pointing Out that I Didn't Make An Attribution! You Made Me Learn! :D I hadn't made an in-Wikipedia attribution to the article I copied from. How silly of me! Mistakes should be fixed! And it's better if no mistake was made! -Rene Bascos Sarabia Jr. (talk) 17:38, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

PhotoScape

Hello Diannaa, I have added missing informations, like you have seen, it was the continuity of the page, not me. Changelog informations are legal. Have you contacted all contributors? Or only me? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PhotoScape&action=history I see that you have removed all since 2019, 7 years old, and it is me the problem? I see that some changes from me are always here but my credit has been removed? Good links, version and release date, it is really strange! Lbocquet (talk) 01:39, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

"Changelog informations are legal" is an incorrect statement: I removed the content because it was copied from this website, which is marked as copyright. Some of the content I removed had been there a long time. Some was added in 2019, by a person who has not edited since March 1, 2020. Some was added in 2021 by an IP who made two edits to this article and left the site. There is no point notifying these people. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 03:03, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

adding a section to a Wikipedia article

Hi Diannaa, I would like to add the following to the Blaine, Washington Wikipedia page in a new Civics section. I don't know if adding a section is allowed. Thanks again for your help adding Lummi Nation to the article!!

As a community undergoing rapid change from large scale developments proposed city wide between 2023 and 2026, civics in Blaine has become especially contentious, including a 2024 battle between citizens and the city government over the cancellation of the longstanding oral public comment period at city council meetings, 2025 election interference by the city manager, and a Public Records Act dispute between water advocacy activists and city hall. On October 13, 2025, death threats against open government activists for opposing Mayor Mary Lou Steward and City Manager Mike Harmon resulted in civil protection orders, signed by Whatcom District Court Judge Angela Anderson on November 4, 2025. On March 23, 2026, the City of Blaine held a police support rally in the middle of a Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission (CJTC) investigation of Blaine Police Department, begun on March 6, 2026, after open government activists filed certification complaints against Blaine Chief of Police Rodger Funk with the CJTC in January 2026. Tonguepoint (talk) 17:09, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi Tonguepoint and welcon to Wikipedia. The addition looks okay from a copyright point of view. But you haven't cited any sources. Please see Help:Contents for the basics of how to get started in Wikipedia. You can also direct specific questions to the Teahouse, where people with experience helping new editors are standing by. Good luck and have fun — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:03, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Deleting a revision

Hi Diannaa. I was working on a prose to add to this article and I was paraphrasing the key info but I was in a rush and I think I ended up adding both the original content from the source and the prose that I myself was working on. So I believe this revision of the page now contains copyrighted content. I'd be glad if you could perhaps delete it from the page history. Thank you. Keivan.f^Talk 20:07, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Done! Thanks for reporting. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:04, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Dosojin

Hello mrs Diannaa how are you doing??? Can I edit dosojin article with a lot of words and details??? With citantions and references been between the words please??? With all the respect. I promise to add accurate informations from accurate sources. ~2026-30128-52 (talk) 16:21, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

I am quite sure that you are the same person who has been repeatedly copying material from elsewhere online for the last five days, so no.— Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:29, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Steatopygia and WP:REVDEL

Hello Diannaa, a user which you reverted and WP:REVDELed on Steatopygia has continued to add large swathes of copyrighted Grokipedia content. Please consider revision deletion. Thanks in advance, ☾⟣✦Inzessin✦⟢☽^(talk) 15:12, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Got them all. Thanks for reporting — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:04, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Thank you.

Thank you for helping fix my citations on the "Welcome to Video". Like many folks, when I was a pre-teen I flirted with things like editing the Earth entry to say "Mostly Harmless". I briefly tried editing but used to always get reverted and it felt like I was fighting to make really basic edits, so for the past couple decades I've just occasionally added citations or fixed typos.

If I registered an account, would you be willing to help me out with syntax stuff?

I am interested, broadly, in IT security and "true crime", and my plan is to try to add in interesting tidbits that I feel have been overlooked.

(For example, that particular case I edited -- it had some aspects that stood out as an infosec nerd from the rest of the collars)

Anyways, ty for not reverting, and I encourage folks to look further into the Welcome to Video case -- there are stories to be told there.

Sincerely, Your friendly neighborhood hacker — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-31553-66 (talk) 23:28, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello, and thanks for your interest in working on Wikipedia. Sorry but I don't have time to mentor or train anybody. However we do have a lot of resources to help new editors learn how to edit Wikipedia effectively. A good place to start is Help:Contents, where there's plenty of links to various topics. There's also Template:Basic information which organizes our help pages by topic. We also have The Teahouse, where editors with experience helping new users are standing by. See also details of the mentoirship programme.

For myself, I started by copy editing existing articles, where I got a look at the inner workings of Wikipedia markup in a fairly low-pressure environment. Wikipedia is a great way to contribute to society while enjoying an absorbing hobby. Good luck, and have fun! — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:17, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

Advice about requesting revdel

While looking at something unrelated on 99th Airlift Squadron, I noticed a substantial copyvio, which I removed. I then realised it was added in a major expansion by a user with an open CCI. I then removed the rest of the content per WP:PDEL, but now I am not sure what to do; do I need to list it at WP:CP for presumptive revdel, or can I just request revision deletion, since I also identified a definite copyvio? This is my first time doing anything CCI-related. lp0 on fire () 13:22, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi lp0 on fire. That's a good question. Hope this is all not TMI but there's likely talk page watchers interested in the same question so hence so much detail. There's a couple ways to get a revdel completed. You can ask me, or any of the admins listed at Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to handle RevisionDelete requests (make sure they have been active in recent days), or ask one of the copyright specialists at Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to investigate copyright matters.

The facts you need to tell us are which diffs need to be hidden, and where the offending content was copied from (typically the url, or possibly a book or magazine source).

We also have a template Template:Copyvio-revdel, which you can fill out with all the required details. (there's a script at User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel you can try; it will help you quickly fill out the template.) Using the template places the article in the maintenance category Category:Requested RD1 redactions, where patrolling admins can readily find the cases that need revision deletion. For that reason, using the template helps spread the work around to available admins, rather than forcing the cases on a few people. There's a limit to how far back in the past some admins (including myself) are willing to revdel. I am no longer doing revdel on cases that involve multiple years or hundreds of diffs, but some admins are.

Just one more note: A lot of pages at Global Security are copied in whole or in part from public domain pages of the US Military. If you can find the original source, we can use it word-for-word, with the addition of a new citation and proper attribution. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk)

Thanks. Since this has been up since 2012 probably best just to leave it then? Sorry if I wasn't very clear; when I said this is my first time doing any CCI-ish things, I was excluding CopyPatrol because in my mind that's a completely different task. My question was because the same article contains both a confirmed copyvio and something needing PDEL, so I wasn't sure which prorcess to send it through. I was unable to find an official source so I guess I have to assume that page was written by Global Security. lp0 on fire () 14:29, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

I think removing the suspect material and not doing revdel is a good option for this paricular case. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:37, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

I'll also note that typically for PDELs, you don't need to list them at CP unless you're stubbing the article or it requires deletion. Usually though, PDELs aren't revdel'd. Tenshi! (Talk page) 14:55, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

Christopher Ward (conductor)

Hi, Diannaa. Do you have time to look at Christopher Ward (conductor)? The issue is that Earwig reports 87% similarity to https://www.musichall.uk.com/artists/conductors/christopher-ward; but I cannot establish whether that site has copied from Wikipedia rather than the other way around. The webpage has no date and it is not on the Wayback Machine; do you know any other way to check its date? Thanks, Tacyarg (talk) 13:56, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

I can do it after work if no one gets to it by then— Diannaa 🍁 (talk) — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:15, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

I had a look: the page was created in 2015 and is mostly written by Wala Schill, whose edits all relate to Ward. Most of the information remains unsourced. Musichall appears to be Ward's agent and Ward first appears on their list of conductors in around 2025, see April 2025 archive. TSventon (talk) 15:10, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

Krissy Matthews

Diannaa, Glad to see you back. I see you reverted the edit to Krissy Matthews. I just posted a note to the editors talk page discussing some of the issues. User_talk:KrissyMatthews#Multiple_issues S Philbrick(Talk) 13:52, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks. But you need to correct a typo: "you should be editing the article about yourself" should say "shouldn't". I am going to go back to the article now, and re-add some of the proplerly sourced content.— Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:58, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Oops, it's all self-published to his own webpage and to last.fm, which is not considered a reliable source either. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:10, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
