You appear to be mass creating articles about Indian villages. Some of these have no indication of notability. Please note that these kind of mass creations need prior approval by the bot approval group, which it doesn't appear you've consulted with. Please stop this mass creation without prior discussion.

I`m not using bot or semi automated tools to create articles. How can I get the authorization?--Александр Мотин (talk) 09:03, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You've massively created articles of questionable notability. For the bot question you might investigate Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval. As a general issue, I'd suggest you slow down an expand upon some of the articles you've already created. Shadowjams (talk) 09:07, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I will look into it.--Александр Мотин (talk) 09:18, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The next step is ANI. Is your response a joke? "I will look into it". You aren't in control of this account? It's this account I'm referring to. Shadowjams (talk) 10:10, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I asked advice from User:Starzynka because you make me to get approval form bot approval group. But I told that I do not use automated or semi automated tools to create articles. Also your phrase "questionable notability" seems to be unclear for me.--Александр Мотин (talk) 10:24, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• I requested autopatrolled rights — Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled. It will help to reduce the workload of new page patrollers. If you have claim regarding notability of my stubs we can discuss it here.--Александр Мотин (talk) 12:58, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your autopatrol request has been granted.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); September 17, 2010; 13:41 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Patagundi, and it appears to be a substantial copy of https://www.vedamsbooks.com/no52728.htm.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

It's a (weird) false positive. I have removed the copyvio tag from the stub in question. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); September 17, 2010; 14:02 (UTC)

I think I`ll get lots of this kind of stuff.--Александр Мотин (talk) 14:04, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll notify the bot owner. The stub text doesn't even appear on the pages in question. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); September 17, 2010; 14:05 (UTC)

Thanks. These false positives distracts me so much.--Александр Мотин (talk) 14:07, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You don't need authorise for manual stubs. You are now on good list so no problem. As you see there are a few editors who oppose mass stubs but a lot like you and me who think this very important for future growth and potential of project. You are welcome to help me stub articles. Keep up good work, it encourages me alsoStarzynka (talk) 14:42, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great. Glad to hear that.--Александр Мотин (talk) 14:45, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of places in Serbia needs finishing. It has the population figure next to the village. If you could start them like Lopardince maybe. They all have the same reference. The districts of Serbia list the municipalities to work through. Perhaps you ask User:Ezhiki what can be done for Russia.Starzynka (talk) 15:08, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alright. I will start asap because it is already evening in Moscow. And I have already sent a wiki-email to Ezhiki.--Александр Мотин (talk) 15:13, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've just replied. Probably not what you expected to hear...—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); September 17, 2010; 15:42 (UTC)

Well, I know Ezhiki likes to control Russian creation. I thought know as you both speak Russian he would be better to create Russian districts/main towns than me and Ezhiki could provide Russian source. Starzynka (talk) 15:50, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, exactly.--Александр Мотин (talk) 15:56, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I really don't want to "control" anything. I am merely trying to keep the workload manageable by making sure the newly created stubs don't require massive cleanup. WP:RUSSIA is hopelessly undermanned as it is; the least we can do to help is to make sure the new material is of acceptable quality from the very start. Starzynka has been very helpful and understanding of that by far. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); September 17, 2010; 16:02 (UTC)

This is what I mean Ezhiki, is control not correct word maybe. I mean you want them started with no cleanup needed and some content. I am sure Александр Мотин could create good stubs which you are happy with Ezhiki. For instance Ezhiki, if you provide online Russian source Александр Мотин can understand it where I cannot.Starzynka (talk) 16:07, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Online sources of this sort aren't always easy to come by, but I'll be happy to send copies via email, if that works. The important thing is that Alexander can read and understand them :) That'd be a great help indeed (if Alex is interested, of course).—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); September 17, 2010; 16:26 (UTC)

Sure, I`m interested in this. It`ll be more easy to cooperate because both of us are russian-speaking.--Александр Мотин (talk) 16:48, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think Russia probably needs the most work than any on wikipedia because of massive size, followed by China.Starzynka (talk) 17:12, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Russia is really large but almost empty . I heard that China has more than 800 000 populated placed and Russia - 157 000, and Russia is only 2 times larger than PRC. So I think India follows China.--Александр Мотин (talk) 17:18, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

India has about 638,500 villages. Starzynka (talk) 17:54, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So I can suppose that US, China, India and Russia have together more than 2 million populated places. It is very huge amount.--Александр Мотин (talk) 17:57, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Need approval

Hello Александр Мотин, Please see this discussion. Any mass article creation needs bot approval even though they were created by human editors. I suggest you please stop creating the stubs and get an approval. — Ganeshk (talk) 16:11, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! WikiProject Serbia is glad that you can help us by creating fantastic stubs from this list. I just wanted to ask you do you have anyone that can tag talk pages with this wikiproject template? I think that User:Starzynka have some agreement with someone for tagging? I hope that this can be done also, so this great stubs may be regarded as high class as possible? Anyway, thanks again! :)

I can add this template to talk pages using AWB. And are you sure that these talk pages should be marked with a template as top-important Serbia articles?--Александр Мотин (talk) 09:45, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, those are definitely not top important, mid at the most, but even blank template would be enough. Just like {{Serbia}}. :) --WhiteWriter ^speaks 10:26, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I will leave the template blank then.--Александр Мотин (talk) 10:28, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Александр Мотин, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Voleyball in Poland, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: 2004 hardly meets the recently created standard of an R3 speedy. Use RFD if desired. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Courcelles 18:10, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I would ask you to please not do it. I can't, of course, prevent you from doing it, but consider this. I am currently working on a database on all Russian inhabited localities, which, when ready, will allow being fed into a bot and creating the stubs like Starobashirovo automatically, with more information, and with sources, too. However, when there is a one-liner like Starobashirovo already in place, it will mean that the automatic process will need to be delayed to sort the inevitable clashes, inconsistencies, inaccuracies, etc. In Starobashirovo alone I can at a glance see quite a few problems (terminology, incompleteness, inaccuracies) that thinking them mulitiplied by ~4,500 (the number of rural localities in Bashkortostan) makes me positively queasy. Such a mass creation will do more harmful than good—instead of eventually running a bot to create clean stubs which require no maintenance, we'll have 4,500 ugly one-liners which will be a pain in the ass to fix. Please reconsider. Pretty please (with a cherry on top). There are plenty other areas where mass creation of stubs will actually be helpful; this is not one of them.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); October 1, 2010; 14:57 (UTC)

You can take over from me with starting the districts. User:Ezhiki/Sandbox. Ask Ezhiki for guidance. I don't feel like wikipedia the moment after the what Z man and Xeno said about me.Starzynka (talk) 20:33, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
