== Pot Stew Drew ==

Hello, I'm a bit new to editing on wikipedia but I was wondering if you could help me. I created a page about a New York based musician and between you and the user "Bongwarrior" it was deleted. I tried talking to Bong Warrior and being reasonable but he's only returned my questions with snark and rudeness. I know the page was rough but I was in the process of editing it. Is there any way you could unlock wikipedia.org/wiki/Pot_Stew_Drew in order for me to flesh out the full article? And if so could you prevent "Bongwarrior" from further harassing me and tampering with the page.<small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Potstewfan|Potstewfan]] ([[User talk:Potstewfan|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Potstewfan|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

== Thank You @331dot ==

Thanks for the tips. All I'm trying to do is add factual information about Picture This  to the List of NZ bands. I don't know how much more credible Wiki expects one to be than newspaper articles etc that I'm trying to add.  I am the most reliable source of info for Picture This NZ Australia.
It seems it is almost impossible to add to Wikipedia even though we have our photo on Wikimedia commons and photos on music sites such as Reverb Nation. [[User:Beautybeaut1|Beautybeaut1]] ([[User talk:Beautybeaut1|talk]]) 02:56, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank You for your help. I also see that Picture This information has been added to the List of NZ Bands. This is great because all the information provided is factual. Please retain it. Yes,  I do understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Thank You again. I have a picture of the band that I uploaded to Wiki commons but it may be too technically difficult for me to upload it here. I have been signed up here for far longer than 4 days, as well. I'm just happy to have been able to get this far, because the NZ band scene is not factually complete until all the bands that were present in its musical history are listed and accounted for. [[User:Beautybeaut1|Beautybeaut1]] ([[User talk:Beautybeaut1|talk]]) 03:37, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

== Thank You  ==

Thank You for all your suggestions. Delete this factual article if you feel that you have to. This information is up on other music sites, as it rightfully should be. It is a part of NZ's music history. I feel that Wikipedia is an incomplete and poor source for information on this very subject if it excludes popular bands who actually existed. I found the Wikipedia experience and process of trying to simply add a band called Picture This to a list of nz bands virtually impossible, due to the pedantic nature of nitpicker,  who need to apply some reality and sensibility.
The list of NZ bands is horribly incomplete as there are so many bands not even listed here. My own experience of trying to get a band listed may offer a clue as to why.
The comment that I am too close to the band Picture This is wrong, as any relationship to the band took place 30 years ago and newspaper clippings have not been written by me. 
The comment that I am trying to promote the band is also incorrect. It is a little bit difficult to promote something that I am a longer a part of.
 [[User:Beautybeaut1|Beautybeaut1]] ([[User talk:Beautybeaut1|talk]]) 06:03, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
:{{replyto|Beautybeaut1}} Understand that I have no power to delete anything; only administrators can make that decision.  I'm [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ABeautybeaut1&type=revision&diff=704731609&oldid=704595368 truly sorry you feel offended and have had a bad experience]; no offense or bad intentions have been intended by me; in fact, I am simply trying to help you avoid problems with [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]] and other issues.  There are reasons Wikipedia has the policies and guidelines that it does, which is to ensure a better encyclopedia.  This isn't just a site where anyone can post anything about any subject without the ability to verify it.  I would love to be able to take your word for what you claim; but can you see how that might be problematic?  What if someone claiming to be [[John Key]] wanted to write his article without verifiable information?  Can you see the issues others might have with that?

:If, as you state, your band is part of New Zealand music history, it should be easy to find independent sources.  (Did the band meet any of the [[WP:BAND|notability criteria]]?) If you have newspaper clippings or articles, that would be sufficient- in which case you just need to properly cite them in the page.  It would be nice if the newspaper articles were online, but that is not necessary; what matters is that they are cited. I would be willing to direct you to the instructions on how to do so if you wish.  My only concerns here is that articles are properly cited and that any conflict of interest issues are minimized. Again, I'm sorry for giving you offense, but I only wish to help. [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot#top|talk]]) 11:44, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

::Thank You so much for your contribution to the deletion of a factually correct piece of information about NZ 80s band Picture This. Picture This was one of the top 5% of bands gigging and touring the North Island of NZ in the early 1980s. They have a rightful place on the List of NZ Bands, which is incomplete without bands who were present in NZ's musical history.  The Reverb Nation site of the then Vocalist, Lianne Rowe which is available when you Google it,  has press clippings from NZ and Australian newspapers in the photos section to verify the now deleted article.
::I'm sorry, I did not appreciate your example, in particular the use of John Key, which I thought seemed like advertising for the NZ National Party. You could have given me a musical example instead. [[User:Beautybeaut1|Beautybeaut1]] ([[User talk:Beautybeaut1|talk]]) 03:47, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
:::I am truly sorry you feel bad, but given that someone else actually deleted the article, they must have agreed that it did not meet the [[WP:BAND|notability criteria for bands]], or at least it did not appear to.  As I have indicated, the best way to keep an article is to make sure it has independent [[WP:RS|reliable sources]].  If what you claim is true, I would think that would not be difficult for this band.  Please review those pages I have linked to for more information.  If you have such sources, and can show how the notability guidelines are met, there is no reason the page cannot be created again.  I wish you luck [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot#top|talk]]) 07:29, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry but this whole process is irrational and convoluted. The person who removed the piece of factual information, has problems and hasn't identified themselves to me either. When I added a link where people could find original newspaper article sources I was then told I was promoting myself, which I am not. I'm seriously not going to bother with Wiki anymore. What a shocking fiasco.  [[User:Beautybeaut1|Beautybeaut1]] ([[User talk:Beautybeaut1|talk]]) 03:46, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

PS. You mentioned notability criteria, however the List of NZ bands contains bands who have no notability whatsoever. That list is not a credible source for NZ music because it has huge holes and omissions in it. It cannot be taken seriously. What a terrible experience this has been.  [[User:Beautybeaut1|Beautybeaut1]] ([[User talk:Beautybeaut1|talk]]) 03:53, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Why should something that was factually correct the first time around need to be rewritten? People don't spend hours of their time researching and compiling information, to have it removed.  I really don't need your luck, thank you. I don't need 'luck', for something rightfully and factually correct to begin with. Please don't contact me again. [[User:Beautybeaut1|Beautybeaut1]] ([[User talk:Beautybeaut1|talk]]) 04:04, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
:Very well, though you contacted me, not the other way around.  Agan, I am sorry that you have not had a good experience.  I am still willing to help you- but you do need to understand the policies and guidelines Wikipedia has, and that it is not like other sites where people can post anything they wish.  If you feel that some of the bands listed on the page you mention do not meet the notability criteria, you have the right to suggest their deletion.  If you do want help in posting information about your band, I am willing. You can also contact the deleting administrator for an explanation and possibly restoring the text to your personal sandbox to work on it further.

331dot,

I am new to Wikipedia and did not realize that the GOM link was listed under References, and I tried to add it to External Links. Just curious, why would it not be under References just like the other two items?

:{{replyto|Twa236ZY}} The External links section of a page like that is not meant for every group that has a position on the issue, which is [[WP:NOTLINKFARM|not generally permitted]]; generally they will just contain links to the leading groups advocating an issue.  There really isn't one for opponents of the background check referendum yet, but SAM has been more vocal about their position(at least in [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]) so I have put theirs to provide a link to that viewpoint.  The Gun Owners of Maine's position on the issue is certainly relevant as an endorsement, but until/unless they take the lead on opposing the question they shouldn't be listed as an external link.

== Bookclip ==

Hello 331dot,

Approximately 10 hours ago, I received an email indicating that you have chosen to remove the page I have created, called Bookclip. As it was in the middle of the night at the part of the world I am currently in, I did not even get a chance to respond before it was swiftly removed altogether, after great deal of worked invested in it. For some reason, it was very urgent for you to remove it, stating that that the page would be "speedily deleted," as if the page was discussing some horrific topics.

My company had created a product called Bookclip, which is in the process of being patented in the USA (CAS2850-002 - Filing receipt, attached is the Filing Receipt from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office verifying that the above-referenced application was filed on November 12, 2014 and has been assigned U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/078,566.). We have also purchased the domain Bookclip.com for a small fortune. As could be indicated from the name itself, the Bookclip platform, which is completely FREE, allows users to create enhanced digital books that combine text, photos, animation and video clips into an interactive experience. These platform was created for users with no skill in coding or design whatsoever and could be of great service to various communities, not to mention - in the field of literature and education. Removing it without even investigating what Bookclip is, was quite harsh, which is why I ask for your help in adding it back to Wikipedia. To the best of our knowledge, we did not blow our own horn and did not used words such as "amazing, brilliant, superior" etc. to promote our technology; we simply wanted to clarify what the technology was and what it could be used for. The marketplace we have created for the interactive books is also free and consist of many social capabilities such as sharing, ranking and commenting on users' content, much like in this Wikipedia platform.

You may refer to a 2 minute video of the product, if it is still unclear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzIt5yZBnbA

I have no doubt that once you see this video, it would give you a better sense of what Bookclip does and how the content of that video defers from the content written on the Wikipedia page, from a promotional standpoint. Some of the biggest companies of the world have used this technology which gives it great credibility; you may want to check it out - I was sure to include references to their press releases. I am referring of course to companies such as DreamWorks Animation and Sony Pictures.

I sincerely look forward to hear back from you and hope that you would do right by us. If you do feel that something about the text was off, that is completely understandable, but please be more specific if you wish for us to understand what is unacceptable, and indicate what you need us to change about the page.

My kindest personal regards,

Gil  <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Gil Abramovich|Gil Abramovich]] ([[User talk:Gil Abramovich|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gil Abramovich|contribs]]) 10:10, 23 February 2016 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Please understand that while I initiated the process, it was an administrator that ultimately decided to delete the page.  I believe everything you say about the product; that is not the issue. I tagged the page as promotional because it did little more than describe the product and did not indicate with independent [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] how the platform met [[WP:GNG|notability guidelines]]. It is possible to be promotional without blatant advertising.  Learning that you are associated with the platform, I must inform you about the clear [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]] in writing about something that your company has made.  In such a case, it is still possible for you to get an article posted, but you should not do so directly- you should use the [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]] process which allows for outside review to ensure that any conflict of interest is addressed.

331dot - Thank you so much for your understanding, your patience and for elaborating on the process. At the end of the day, the product will be of great service for the entire community as it is highly productive and free. I do feel however that it is vital to explain what it is for and how to use it, as this platform is quite enormous and has many components to it. 

Per your comments, please allow me to absorb your input and to resubmit. Would you kindly explain how do we go about creating the term again? Do we have to refer to the old page or simply start fresh?

Much obliged,

:The first thing you must do is post on your user page (click your username at the top of the screen) regarding your association with this product, and the fact that you are an employee of the company that produces Bookclip.

== Review my draft before moving it ==

I just tried moving a plain document to a Wikipedia page.  Immediately a COI flag was raised.  Luckily, this was for a subsidiary topic of my Draft page.  Will you please review my draft page and assist me in allowing it to be moved to a published Wikipedia page?  Here is the link:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:National_Kidney_Registry

== ''Editor of the Week''&thinsp;: nominations needed! ==

The ''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week|Editor of the Week]]'' initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly ''Editor of the Week'' award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Recipient response|response from the honorees]] has been enthusiastic and thankful.

The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?

Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Nominations|submitting your nomination for ''Editor of the Week'']] today!

:::I've looked further, and I am now convinced that the page was originally not about the university lecturer in question. The original text of the article was ''"Jon Sullivan is a kid that lives in London, UK. He goes to at The American School in London. He is a huge Donald Trump supporter."'' The claim that "kid" was a mistake for "scientist" is obviously a lie. Most probably, it was a vanity page about the person who created it. I can find no source anywhere to connect the university lecturer to either The American School in London or Donald Trump support. Everything suggests that rewriting it to appear to be about the university lecturer was just an attempt to avoid speedy deletion.

Hi There 

I am from The Forum of Private Business - the original account was created along time ago and we have no way of finding the sign on or passwords for the account .... do you know how this can be done or do I need to just start again?

:{{replyto|The Forum of Private Business}} I'm not sure what you mean by an original account; as long as the older account is not being used by you  there is no issue in that regard- though please note that accounts cannot be shared(you use "we" above).  Your username cannot be that of a company or organization; it must indicate you as an individual.  You don't have to use your real name, but the account must indicate that only one person is using it; an example of an acceptable name would be "JohnPublic at TheFPB". Using "Mrkting"(which I presume means 'marketing' would not be acceptable.  You can transfer your edits to a new username by following the instructions at [[WP:CHU|this page]], or you can create a new account, but doing that does not connect your existing edits to your new name.

The wikipedia forum of private business belongs to the business I work for but I can not get into the account due to not knowing the sign on details - I therefore created the new account to amend the other account.  I know the information is incorrect as it hasnt been updated for 7 years so why would I need to put an edit on a talk page for people to agree to me changing it when I know that the information is incorrect.

:{{replyto|The Forum of Private Business}} I realize that you may be new, and it is good that you are here.  It is fine for you to create a new account if you cannot use a prior one- as long as this will be the only one you use from this point on.  It may be a good idea to indicate what the prior account was on your userpage in order to provide full disclosure.  As I indicated, you will need to request that your current name be changed to indicate you as an individual user.
:Please understand that [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]] is taken very seriously here on Wikipedia.  (Please review that page if you haven't already.) It appears improper when someone affiliated or employed by a company edits the article on that company, no matter how good the intentions are by the editor with a COI. Unless the information being fixed is totally factual and 100% uncontroversial(like the company's address, number of employees) you should first seek consensus on the article talk page from uninvolved editors before proceeding. It's probably a good idea to do that with any edit. The more open you are about your COI(and if you are being [[WP:PAID|paid to edit here]]) the more likely it is your changes will be accepted by the community.

== 331dot (talk) 16:53, 30 May 2016 (UTC) Music of Uruguay post ==

I am new in Wiki and not familiar with referencing and citations procedures here. I am trying to correct, and have some control over the Wiki information about my music and career which has been written here and in other sources over the years by hundreds of writers. Also, to correct a misunderstanding about my nationality which should include me among musicians form Latin America as well as Hispanic-American ones. I will be happy to gather references to include with my entry. Maybe if I provide links, you or someone else here can help me submit them as I'm not familiar with the process. Is this an example of the referencing needed? for example to substantiate my entry of "Three-time Grammy nominated composer" links to the Grammy sites directly like for [http://www.latingrammy.com/en/nominees 2016 nomination]: http://www.latingrammy.com/en/nominees Or [https://www.grammy.com/files/11lg_final_press.pdf 2010 nominations]: https://www.grammy.com/files/11lg_final_press.pdf (page 25, Cathegory 42)? 
Also list of [https://www.google.com/search?q=miguel+del+aguila+composer+latinamerican&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=miguel+del+aguila+composer+latinamerican&tbm=bks publications] about my music and career as listed on Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=miguel+del+aguila+composer+latinamerican&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=miguel+del+aguila+composer+latinamerican&tbm=bks

I noticed you placed a BLPPROD for this article, I think the article is clearly a speedy delete candidate so why not CSD under A7?

== My Culbert Page on Wikipedia ==

331dot,
I'm assuming this is the way to respond.  The Culbert page on Wikipedia provides details on this surname.  I am conducting research on this surname worldwide.  i want to expand the page by adding more details on the origins of the surname, where it can be found, and historical subjects associated by the surname.  I want to find out if these additions to the Culbert page are in keeping with Wikipedia policy.  I do not know how to decide if there is a conflict of interest here.  I also do not know what you mean by "associates with".  I AM a Culbert, hence my interest!  I am a part of genealogical organizations.  PLEASE CLARIFY what you want me to say, do, etc. etc., and where I am supposed to do it!

:{{ping|331dot}}, probably best to link to [[Template:Request edit]], rather than actually including the template on your talk, because this makes it look like you are requesting an actual edit on Category:Requested edits, and not providing the template as an example.

:{{replyto|Gcalda}}  Hello; pages tagged for speedy deletion can be deleted at any time as long as the reviewing administrator feels the criteria given are valid. No discussion is required- though if they saw your post they would have reviewed it. You can contact the deleting administrator for an explanation if you would like one, by going back to the page title which should display who deleted it.  If you find the explanation unsatisfactory, you can ask for [[WP:DRV|Deletion Review]].
:I tagged the page because it did not indicate with independent [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] how this organization met the [[WP:ORG|organization notability guidelines]].  It was also written in a promotional manner, which [[WP:PROMO|is not permitted]].  Those points will need to be addressed for the page to be kept.  If you would like assistance with doing so, I would suggest creating the page through [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]] which allows for review before posting.

:{{replyto|331dot}}Hi, as for the notability, the main activity of the society is the NETSCI conference. If you google that, you get quite a number of pages since first editions. Of course we are talking about a scientific society, we cannot expect to have the same coverage as football teams...  I am very open to rewrite (or better to have the community rewrite the page if it stays on wiki for more than a couple of days) in a non-promotional way, whatever is the definition of the latter. Indeed, I haven't found in the present text any request to become affiliated or (even worse) judgements on other scientific societies or on the our own. We simply write what we do: organise conferences, give grants to students and keep network scientist talking to each other. Where  the self-promotion is? I am very happy in following Wikipedia rules, because they make a lot of sense, but on this point i honestly believe there is no self-promotion, rather we are try to give information for people looking for it. Finally (as regards my involvement): as a scientist I founded it many years ago, now I am a member of it, I cannot take any decision on Society behalf, but I am happy to do whatever requested by editors or have the president and the board follow wikipedia editors suggestions. Best and thanks for your work [[User:Gcalda|Gcalda]] ([[User talk:Gcalda|talk]]) 10:39, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
::{{replyto|Gcalda}} One point I would make is that a page does not have to be advocating that people buy something in order to be promotional; creating a page that says "X society meeting at 7:00" is promotional because it only gives information, without indicating with independent [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] how the [[WP:NEVENT|event is notable]]. Wikipedia isn't social media to merely post information; its articles must indicate how the subject is notable. 
::I am concerned by your use of "we" in your post above; please note that [[WP:USERNAME|sharing a username]] is not permitted.

Hi there. Just a brief note to apologise for what I said at [[Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates/August_2016#RD:_Ahmed_Zewail|this RD discussion]]. I shouldn't have said you made a drive-by comment. I do wish the discussion had had more time, as it did get archived without a decision being made, but I am going to aim to move forward from this and help out, rather than spend too much time working out whether there was a missed opportunity there to get an article that (I think) was in a good state, up on the RD part of ITN. I do think it was a missed opportunity, and do wish there was a way to still get that article up on RD, but I fear the chance has gone.

[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Maine Moose Trax]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
:'''non-notable proposed Lacrosse team'''

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Maine Moose Trax|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> --[[User:Tavix| <span style="color:#000080; font-family:georgia">'''T'''avix</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:Tavix|<span style="color:#000080; font-family:georgia">talk</span>]])</sup> 06:07, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

hey so this is how I had the article but I was told it wasnt in a neutral tone and not encyclopedia like with new research.  So I deleted the extra stuff to make it like other lists that are articles but now I need to have that stuff so what should I do?

What you need are independent [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] that indicate how the subject is [[WP:N|notable]].

== My edit to Bruce Poliquin ==

Apparently you objected to my adding of facts related to Rep. Poliquin's tenure in the US House. 

I added facts about his campaign finances from a well known, objective, source. I offered no interpretation of those facts at all. If facts are not "neutral" than I don't know what is. 

I also added that his efforts to get the military to buy US made shoes was a continuation of work done by his predecessor in office (something noted in the source used for his advocacy of that measure too). 

So, please kindly stop playing politics with the facts and restore my edits.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/74.75.70.28|74.75.70.28]] ([[User talk:74.75.70.28|talk]]) 20:20, 5 September 2016 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Wiki page: Ruth Chiquet-Ehrismann ==

Dear 331dot,

This morning, I made (or tried to make) a few minor changes to the Wiki page of Ruth Chiquet-Ehrismann. You apparently oppose these changes because you see a conflict of interest. Indeed, I'm the widower of Ruth (but a scientist myself).  Probably I should not have made these changes myself, but left it to the colleague who actually created the page. Sorry if what I did was against your rules (I'm new to editing Wikipedia articles). In any case, I just tried to link some of the terms in the article to other existing Wiki pages, and made a few very minor corrections in the text. I did not change anything in the content of the article.

Please tell me how to proceed further.

Best regards, Matthias Chiquet
[[User:Matthias Chiquet|Matthias Chiquet]] ([[User talk:Matthias Chiquet|talk]]) 10:01, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
:{{replyto|Matthias Chiquet}}  I would first say that I am sorry for your loss.  I apologize for the confusion I have caused you.  I only posted the message on your page to make you aware of the conflict of interest policy.  I don't actually have a problem with the things that you have added to the article about Ruth, because, as you indicate, they seem minor.  I would only suggest that in the future you either post on the article's talk page (click "Talk" at the top of the article) about any changes you feel are needed before making them- or, if it seems like anything more than a minor change, to post an explanation on the talk page after you make it and request others look over your edits.  The important thing is to just be open about who you are and be willing to work with others(which, as a scientist, I suspect will not be an issue for you).  Again, I apologize for causing you difficulty. [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot#top|talk]]) 20:11, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

== Concerning warning ==

Hey uh, I am sorry for lashing out at you earlier. To be honest if it were not for you I would have lost my cool completely. It is just that certain attitudes from people tend to set me off. If the other editor would have just explained that the summary needed to a little less related to the source, I would have been able to explain that I was not finished and that revisions were still being made, but all they did was delete it. The second time I said okay, maybe I did something wrong, and I rewrote it again, but since I still was not finished it resembled the original article. the third time, she insulted the quality of my article, as if she is somehow superior. From there, she just kept deleting it every time I restored it, not letting me get a chance to fix anything. What was I supposed to do then? Next, I tried going to her talk page, and asking her what was the purpose of her actions, and if she had something she had to say, that I was willing to listen. Response: "You are too simple to see how divine I am." What the heck is that for resolution!  That was a stereotypical, arrogant, and deluded response. So yes, I am rather agitated, and have tended to say things rather starkly. But that is only due to the fact that I have folks telling me to calm down when they see, the full situation, and instead of pulling the one instigating back, they always go for the guy who is ready to stand up for himself. All I am asking is for the other editor to stand down! If she has an opinion, then put it to me, and I can explain, resolve, compromise, etc. Come on, we see this kind of stuff happening in Kindergarten. We are supposed to be grown and mature....Anyway, I apologize, and thank you for trying to help me stay out of trouble, I really appreciate it.

:From what I have observed I think there can be improvement in how both sides of this operate- though as I've said, only you can control your actions.  If other people are behaving badly they will eventually be called out on it and there is no need to get in the gutter with them. (that is not an assessment of this situation, but a generalization).  When I get in a difficult situation like this I find it helpful to sometimes briefly step away from the page in dispute; it isn't going anywhere and can be changed at any time.  In my opinion it may be time to seek out outside assistance at the dispute board; if you do, I urge you to focus on the content under dispute(which is all that is supposed to be discussed on that board anyway) and not behavior.  Arguing about behavior will only distract and deflect from the content dispute.  The bigger person in a dispute is usually the more successful one in terms of their position.

:If it is obvious that someone is behaving badly, it won't take long for another user to see it and report them to WP:ANI or just directly to an administrator. You could certainly post at ANI, but if you do so, your behavior will be scrutinized as well and there is no guarantee they won't take action against both of you or even just you.

I see. I am not thoroughly concerned with what happens to me at this point, as I did violate policy knowingly. However I would like for the other editor to be put in their place, as they seem to have an air of arrogance. Still, I think things have begun to subside, I will make sure to describe every edit I make, and to explain when I defend an action I have taken. From there, I do not think I should have a problem, unless the other editor decides to mess with me for no reason at all.

== Todd Memorial Chapel ==

Hi,
I recently created the Todd Memorial Chapel page. You stated that it might be deleted because there is no online evidence of the claim that it is 100 years old. I am a member of the family with knowledge of the funeral home. There is actually a book which was written about the history of the funeral home and I am in contact with the author to provide factual evidence and pictures for the page. There is not much information on the internet becuase we are a relatively small funeral home only people in the funeral business know how long we have been around. I will be updating the page shortly with new evidence and pictures from the book which supports the fact that we are over 100 years old. 
Thanks

:{{replyto|Jake3759}}  Since you state that you are part of the family that owns the home, you will need to review [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]].  The point of the discussion isn't just that the claim of significance isn't cited, but that the article does not indicate with independent [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] how your business meets the [[WP:ORG|business notability guidelines]].  Please review those if you haven't already. The sources given do not have to be on the Internet- but there needs to be more than one to indicate notability.

== I have checked the page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Paid-contribution_disclosure ==

Hello again,

I have checked the page you mentioned. Thanks again. 

I have not been paid for my contribution to Wikipedia. Though I made changes on the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_74 on behalf of RADIO 74, I just did it as a service, on a personal basis that is. This is not included in my working time, nor has this anything to do with my contract, as I am only a technician here. So I was not paid for my contribution to this article.

The article you gave me says : "If you are being paid for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you, who the client is, and any other relevant role or relationship."

So is there still a conflict of interest with the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_74 article ? I guess so for the fact that I am, so to speak, employed by RADIO 74 (radio74.org), in Europe [which is NOT "RADIO 74 INTERNATIONALE" (radio74.net)]. I said "so to speak" because I am employed by the TOTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION, RADIO 74 (radio74.org) being a project of this association. 

Nonetheless, since I am not paid for my contributions on Wikipedia, I will not mention on my user's page that I am employed by RADIO 74 (TOTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION that is). By the way (saying what follows for the readers that don't know it yet) I did NOT create this Wikipedia account to contribute to articles related to RADIO 74, but I created this account in 2014, to contribute to a French article on Christian Millelinnialism (the teachings related to the thousand years mentioned in the Bible, in ''Revelation'' chapter 20).

Thanks for your attention!

Best wishes of the blessings that are coming from God, and from the soon coming Lord Jesus, the Christ (Messiah), His only begotten Son,

Hello,

We are trying to update the Wikipedia page for Hampstead Theatre - mainly because it's mostly factually incorrect and we are having a lot of complaints from playwrights and previous Artistic Directors about it.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could have a look at the additions we'd like to make - this is not for promotional or advertising purposes, purely factual.

Many thanks

:{{replyto|Hampstead2016}} First, please see your user talk page for important information about your username.  Second, if you represent the Theatre(which I assume the "we" refers to), you will need to review and comply with the [[WP:COI|conflict of interest policy]]; in short, you should not directly edit in areas where you have a conflict of interest.  If the Theatre is paying you to edit here or you are employed by them, you are '''required''' by Wikipedia's Terms of Use to comply with the [[WP:PAID|paid editing policy]] and declare such status(if that is indeed the case). 
:Having briefly reviewed the passage you are attempting to add, it reads to me like a promotional description of the Theatre and its history, something that one might find in a playbill or advertisement. It also needs to be cited as to where the information described comes from, preferably from independent [[WP:RS|reliable sources]], though [[WP:PRIMARY|primary sources]] might be acceptable in certain situations. If the passage had citations and was made less promotional, it would likely be suitable for the article, but you should not add it yourself; please post it on the article talk page(click "Talk" at the top of the article) for review and posting by others; I may be able to do so at a later time, or others will.

== Exclusive Man of the Year Awards ==

I saw your review of the page I just added Exclusive Man of the year award. Of the three issues you pointed out only the first is accurate.
1) I do have a connection with it's subject, though not closely
2) I believe this event meets the notability criteria as the event is: the only event like this in Ghana, wasn't aired live but was covered by media houses in Ghana, has a number of notable backers.
3) None of the 3 references are in anyway related to the organisation of this event. This should even help show what I stated in point 2.

:Thanks for changing your name.  I'm not sure what the nature of your connection to this event is- but any connection means you have a [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]], and you should review that page before further edits. You should also review the [[WP:NEVENT|event notability guidelines]] to see how this event might meet them.  The page states that the first awards ceremony was this past June; I'm not sure such a new event would meet the notability guidelines and it may be [[WP:TOOSOON|too soon for an article]]. Two of the sources given just list the winners, the third seems to be a press release type of article.  There is no rush to find more sources, however, and if you can do so, feel free, but as I stated you should review the conflict of interest page first. 

:The article also does little more than list the winners; it will need much more prose about how these awards are notable and the one passage lifted from one of the sources(the part about how this event 'blossomed') will need to be removed as it could be a copyright violation.

[[File:Wikipedia New page reviewer.svg|right|80px]]
Hello 331dot. Your account has been added to the "<code>New page reviewers</code>" 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 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 [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol|New Pages Review]], the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various [[WP:Deletion|deletion criteria]].
*[[WP:BITE|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. 

{{adminnote}} You have been grandfathered to this group based on prior patrolling activity - the technical flag for the group will be added to your account after the next software update.  You do not need to apply at [[WP:PERM]]. 20:56, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

:{{replyto|ECrum}} I believe that to upload images your username must have been active for a certain period of time and have a certain number or edits.(both of which are small, but I don't know the exact numbers)  Since you commented here, I will take this opportunity to ask you if you have reviewed  the [[WP:COI|conflict of interest policy]] as the post I made on your user talk page suggests.  You may also need to review and comply with the [[WP:PAID|paid editing policy]] (if you are an employee or otherwise paid for editing here); if you are paid, doing so is required by Wikipedia's Terms of Use.

Okay. I did it. Other Santa Barbara pages have images and logos so why can we not use the same when we are allowed and have copy right permission? What steps do I need to take to upload media onto our page? [[User:ECrum|ECrum]] ([[User talk:ECrum|talk]]) 22:52, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

== Maine cabinet ==

You [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Governor_of_Maine&type=revision&diff=748682470&oldid=748682044 reversed] the inclusion of the WCB in the Cabinet but that countered its clear inclusion on [http://www.maine.gov/governor/lepage/cabinet/cabinet.shtml the cited page] that the earlier editor had referenced. It feels to me like you need to have a counter-reference in order to exclude it. Is there a statutory definition of Cabinet departments? The question brought to mind the running discussion relative to the [[United States Environmental Protection Agency]] where the Wiki-article intro states, not completely helpfully and without citation but in line with my understanding, that the "EPA is not a Cabinet department, but the administrator is normally given cabinet rank"; if all that is any help. Thanks and cheers. [[User:Swliv|Swliv]] ([[User talk:Swliv|talk]]) 22:46, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

[[File:Wikipedia New page reviewer.svg|right|80px]]
Hello {{safesubst:<includeonly/>BASEPAGENAME}}. 

Based on the patrols you made of new pages during a qualifying period in 2016, your account has been added to the "<code>{{int:Group-patroller}}</code>" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as [[meta:Help:Patrolled edit|patrolled]], tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the  [[Special:NewPagesFeed|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 [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol|New Pages Review]], the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various [[WP:Deletion|deletion criteria]]. If you  need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at [[Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''page reviewer talk''']]. {{pb}}
*[[WP:BITE|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. 
{{pb}}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.

Hello 331dot -- It's often better to tag unreferenced biographies of children not in the public eye, where the tone is partially or entirely negative, and especially where any personal information is disclosed, as [[WP:G10|attack pages (G10)]] as it will get admin attention much more swiftly.

If each reviewer does '''only 10 reviews a day''' over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing '''only 2 or 3 reviews a day''' - that's about 5 minutes work!<br>
Let's get that over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.

;<big>'''Second set of eyes'''</big>
Not only are ''New Page Reviewers'' the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new [[WP:NPP#Monitoring the system|'''Monitoring the system''']] section in the tutorial.

== December 2016 ==

[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello 331dot. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting  you know, however, that [[Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#cite_ref-Hasty_7-1|there is consensus]] that we shouldn't tag pages as lacking context ([[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A1. No context|CSD A1]]) and/or content ([[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A3|CSD A3]]) moments after they are created, as you did at [[:IIMBlue]]. It is also suggested that pages that might meet [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7|CSD A7]] criteria not be tagged for deletion immediately after they are created. It's usually best to wait ''at least'' 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should ''not'' be marked as [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/patrolled pages|patrolled]].  Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may [[Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers|drive away well-meaning contributors]], which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages ([[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G10|G10]]), blatant nonsense ([[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G1|G1]]), copyright violations ([[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G12|G12]]) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes ([[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G3|G3]]) should of course still be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.<!-- Template:uw-hasty --> [[User:TheMagikCow|TheMagikCow]] ([[User talk:TheMagikCow|talk]]) 16:22, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
:{{replyto|TheMagikCow}}  Thanks for the reminder, however I have a low tolerance for postings that seem to be to be blatant promotion of a group or event, as the article we are talking about seems to be(the page was created by someone with the name of the event as their name). If they change it before (and if) it is deleted, I would be happy to remove the tag.  You are also free to, if you wish.

== STOP writing me ==

Why are you sticking your nose in this? You have nothing to do with the Rex Tillerson page edits that have gotten out of control. An agenda is clearly present and I REFUSE to allow Wikipedia to become some garbage propaganda tool for people to peddle and push their agendas.  I've been creating and editing wiki pages for over a decade and recognize it for its beauty and power.  When an editor post 4 pictures in a wiki page and all four are taken from the Kremlin, then deletes and claims copyright when an appropriate picture is put up, and then editor adds an "awards" line in bio window, but deleted every award list except the Kremlin award: there is a CLEAR agenda there. Get your facts straight, if you can't see the problem with that and the CLEAR violation of wiki rules then you are either obtuse or foolish.

:{{replyto|Rjsulliv}}  Any Wikipedia user can comment on any page that they wish and edit most any page that they wish. If you don't wish me to communicate with you personally, I will respect that, but I stand by my comment.  You need to be more civil, not conduct a dispute through edit summaries and take your concerns to the talk page.  I would also urge you to lose the battleground mentality; if you are correct in what you say, it should be clear to everyone else.

Apologies for not putting in an explanation to my suggested edit, I don't edit that much on Wikipedia.

== ''Editor of the Week'' seeking nominations (and a new facilitator) ==

The ''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week|Editor of the Week]]'' initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly ''Editor of the Week'' award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Recipient response|response from the honorees]] has been enthusiastic and thankful.

The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?

Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Nominations|submitting your nomination for ''Editor of the Week'']] today!

<small>In addition, the WikiProject is seeking a new facilitator/coordinator to handle the logistics of the award. Please contact {{noping|L235}} if you are interested in helping with the logistics of running the award in any capacity.

== No diamonds... ==

I notice you changed the criteria on Little Diamonds playschool. The spam criterion was OK, but a play school counts as an educational establishment and doesn't come under A7. Why, don't ask me. Before my time, I think. They are liable to prod and AfD for lack of notability. This article was one of those bits of spam that tells you sweet FA about the subject. I remember one where I told the author that in more than three readings of the article, I still hadn't found out what the company did. They did strive for excellence in their solutions, though. I don't think he liked that... [[User:Peridon|Peridon]] ([[User talk:Peridon|talk]]) 12:17, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
:PS I've never found out whether driving schools are educational establishments. They mostly appear to be spam anyway, or copyvio. [[User:Peridon|Peridon]] ([[User talk:Peridon|talk]]) 12:19, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
::I guess I didn't put it together on that one.  That's a good question about driving schools- though as you indicate most would be spam and I think it would be hard to have a notable driving school.  They probably wouldn't merit A7 though.
