Why

[edit]

Did you make this revert? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Peace_%26_Dialogue_Leadership_Initiative&diff=prev&oldid=1277314360

It obviously was not vandalism. Yet you reverted - without any edit summary. That is not appropriate. See Wikipedia:FIES.

It obviously was appropriate text. Simply read the first sentence of the article.

I would urge you to self-revert. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:44F9:2D4:FCC9:BE1D (talk) 23:09, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The only reason the redirect got declined was because a user named Nmammad vandalized it. I don't think it was a fair decline. Kjjj6uhhhhh (talk) 16:45, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The elevated boardwalk section is one example. It reads as promotional rather than encyclopedic. AI usually words sentences this way. I could be wrong.
Could you work on dialing back the promotional tone and focus on making it objective and encyclopedic. Best, Ktkvtsh (talk) 23:37, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What about it? There's exactly one source of substance in the article; this is just a record as far I can tell, and isn't verifying anything than a particular role she played, which wasn't the concern. Remsense ‥  03:01, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

March 2025

[edit]

Information icon Hi Cactusisme! I noticed that you recently made an edit at Sam Sulek and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia: it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Justjourney (talk) 23:02, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if it's the the tool you're using, but if someone forgets to add a source, I don't think you should check the minor edit box. Justjourney (talk) 23:13, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You declined a redirect, asking for a source .. but ..

[edit]

the source was already supplied in the request, for Zioness. Exactly as is the norm in redirect requests. Relevant aspects below.

Target of redirect: Amanda Berman

Reason: She is the founder and director of Zioness, which does not have its own article

Source (if applicable): [1] "Amanda Berman, Founder of Zioness ..."

2603:7000:2101:AA00:3007:95C2:F1D4:565E (talk) 19:35, 6 March 2025 (UTC) ...

Declined. The title you suggested seems like an unlikely search term. Could you provide a source showing that it is a commonly used alternative name or related topic? (Zioness) Cactus🌵 spiky ouch  10:08, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Kindly reconsider and approve. Thank you. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:BC5F:5D0F:C933:525E (talk) 19:30, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bulbinella rossii

[edit]

Hi Cactusisme. I would like to remind you about the ongoing review on the Bulbinella rossii article. I understand you might be busy (or focused on other articles at the moment). I will likely be off-wiki this weekend. Thanks. Alexeyevitch(talk) 20:40, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

[edit]

Hi Cactusisme. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
  • Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Joyous! Noise! 03:10, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Announcements (Events facilitated by others):

Tip of the month:

  • When creating biographies, don't forget to use Template:DEFAULTSORT.
    Accessible from "Wiki markup" at the foot of the page being edited,
    it allows categories to be listed under the subject's family name rather than their first or given name.

Moving the needle: (statistics available via Humaniki tool)

  • 24 Mar 2025: 20.070% of biographies on EN-WP are about women (2,057,083, 412,857 women)
  • 27 Jan 2025: 20.031% (2,047,793 bios, 410,200 women)

Thank you if you contributed one or more of the 2,657 articles during this period!

Resubmission: Draft:Junghun Choi – revised with inline citations and reliable secondary sources

[edit]

Hello,

I’m following up regarding the draft Draft:Junghun Choi, which was previously declined due to a lack of inline citations and sufficient secondary sources.

The article has now been substantially revised and improved:

- All major claims are now supported with inline <ref> citations. - Reliable secondary sources have been added, including:

 • Fortune Korea  
 • Chosun Biz  
 • The Korea Daily  
 • AMCHAM Korea  
 • Golf Inc. (via Sports Chosun)

- Duplicate or unreliable references have been removed. - The draft follows the guidelines for Biographies of Living Persons (BLP).

Kindly review the updated draft at your convenience.

Thank you very much! 방명호 (talk) 14:56, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@방명호 It was already reviewed by another reviewer, who had left some comments there. Please take a look. I also suggest reading through sources. Thanks. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 09:26, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your follow-up and suggestion.
I have carefully reviewed the previous comments and made substantial improvements to the draft based on that feedback.
Specifically:
- All sources have now been converted to inline citations using <ref> and the {{cite news}}: Empty citation (help) template, per WP:CITE guidelines.
- The article relies exclusively on independent, secondary sources such as BusinessKorea, Korea JoongAng Daily, Yonhap News, and The Korea Herald—there are no interviews, press releases, or social media links.
- Any primary or non-independent sources were removed, and the article content was restructured to ensure neutrality and verifiability.
Please let me know if any additional improvements are required. I sincerely appreciate your time and guidance.
Thank you once again for reviewing this submission.
All content has been thoroughly updated to meet Wikipedia's verifiability and notability standards. Please feel free to suggest any additional improvements. I truly appreciate your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
방명호
