translation request

Good evening from Coreca, I write to greet you and know how you are, in addition to this to thank you for your timely intervention on the article, I wondered if you could help me to improve a couple of articles in English and German. For English I would need a re-reading for Sabrina Ferilli and an improvement for Katrin Heß, for the German I would need a translation for Milena Miconi, Fanny Cadeo and Barbara Chiappini. Of course your kindness will be reciprocated, I will help you in Italian, Sicilian, Neapolitan and other Romance languages that I know a little. I hope you can understand and help me. a greeting from Calabria.--Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino (talk) 16:58, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello @Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino: Thank you for the kind words. As a matter of fact, I'm not hugely interested in biography articles (more esp. the biographies of living persons) but I'll be happy to translate Katrin Heß into English for you. The other articles you are talking about is not exactly up to standards. Thank you so much for your offer of assistance. Best  Ivecos (t) 07:51, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer granted

Hello Ivecos. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

• URGENT: Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
• Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
• Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
• Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Alex Shih (talk) 05:10, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages

I see you recently accepted a pending change to January 16. I looked for a source for this date of birth in the Kabir Bedi article and it was unsupported by any source there either.

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. I've gone ahead and un-accepted this edit and backed it out.

Please do not accept additions to day of year pages where no direct source has been provided on that page. The burden to provide sources for additions to these pages is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 14:03, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

@Toddst1: Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I looked at Kiran Bedi's article, only by previewing the first part of the article (using WP:POPUPS), which confirmed their addition. I always use Google instead of Wikipedia for verifiability (observing WP:USERGENERATED). Through a simple google search I found several articles on his birthday, so I decided to accept their change. My policy is to correct poor edits, and keep things legit as much I can. Yes, I do agree that I missed WP:BURDEN thing. Adding source was my responsibility. And I will restore that content. Thanks again.  Ivecos (t) 18:33, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Please don't revert sourced edits

You have reverted my edit on Binod Bihari Chowdhury. Please show me a source which says he was an Indian. If you cant't then don't revert my sourced edits. This is a vandalism on your part. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.127.246.106 (talk • contribs) 09:07, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

He was born in undivided India, so he was an Indian by birth. Would you mind explaining what's your rationale behind the changing: Indian independence activist to anti-colonial revolutionary in the lead sentence? [1] How it is misleading? If you need to know what falls under vandalism, read WP:VANDALISM. Best!  Ivecos (t) 13:51, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

I never removed information on his involvement with Indian Independence Movement, but this wasn't his only identity at all since he was also involved in other areas as well. Please read the whole para before reverting you unnecessarily fighting here. And "India" refers to republic of India, he was born in British India. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.127.246.106 (talk • contribs) 08:07, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

And also in South Asia article, you are not adhering to neutral point of view, since I have compromised by adding both the cities since both are major cities. Please don't fight unnecessarily. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.127.246.106 (talk • contribs) 08:13, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

It seems all the warnings are having no affect on you. You seem to be hell bent on introducing your POV to an important geographic article. Please use the article's talk page to discuss any further edits. Best!  Ivecos (t) 11:02, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Thanks for creating all the articles on French constituencies (and remembering to tag the talk pages!). Number 57 21:58, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

@Number 57: Thanks, I hardly get a barnstar so this is greatly appreciated. Ivecos (t) 11:27, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
