Thanks for the report at WP:UAA but please note that some wikis allow organisation accounts - see Commons policy for an example, the German wiki is another. Please don't report users at WP:UAA if they haven't edited on this wiki. Cabayi (talk) 09:48, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
I checked the policy before i reported it. WP:PROMONAME says: The following types of usernames are not permitted because they are considered promotional:
Usernames that unambiguously represent the name of a company, organization, website, product, musical group or band, team, club, creative group, or organized event.
And yes i know about the UAA instruction that says: "Except in the instance of an egregious name violation, please do not report accounts with no edits or those who have not edited in the preceding 2 weeks." Nobody (talk) 09:57, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

@HerBauhaus No problem, some templates allow the creation of notes like that, others don't. Since it can create errors, which gets put in cleanup categories, it's always best to double-check if a template allows it or not. And as long as your edit summarys are accurate to your changes, a additional note is mostly not needed. Nobody (talk) 13:12, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi I am trying to publish my first article, Yeshivazon, on Wikipedia. I think I got it down right. I would love to hear your feedback on my draft --Joshfriedman65 (talk) 03:04, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
No it did, I still think your edit isn't improving the article and edit warring your change into the article doesn't mean it's right. It's not even a change worth edit warring over. If you don't understand that, then i ask you to stay off my talk page. Nobody (talk) 07:37, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) Hello, and welcome. Non-autoconfirmed users (4 days and 10 edits) may not make articles directly in the mainspace, but may use the article wizard to do so. Drafts are pages where new articles can be created and developed for a limited time and receive feedback from experienced editors, and if they are not edited within 6 months, they may be deleted. Optionally, editors may choose to create draft pages in their userspace instead. Thank you. – 64andtim(talk)17:17, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Dear Mr @1AmNobody24: I don't know if you got my last message. (I don't know if you will get this!) Please tell me where you learned about Mrs Jodzies. I believe I am the only person in Virginia, USA, who has done significant research on her. Anything you've seen on Wikipedia (or elsewhere) is very likely my work.

Mr 1AmNobody24 - I did all the research and wrote the text on the National Register nomination. I'm glad you found it. I also wrote the Jodzies Highway Marker submission. Mrs Jodzies is now on the Virginia Womens Monument Wall of Honor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Women%27s_Monument) but she has a RED name because she doesn't have a Wikipedia Link. So that is what I'm trying to do. Thanks for you help. I'm going to be away from my computer for the next 6 hours or so. PLEASE DON'T DELETE THE DRAFT. PAStrat (talk) 13:33, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

hello to you Nobody! you have been assigned as my mentor i see which is great as im new to creating wikipedia articles but occasionally made 24 edits with my ip address over the course of 2 years. (laughing out loud) i just have a question about a certain topic and was wondering it you could help me please? the question is: Before i create this article, can you assert the notability of this artist im trying to create an article for? --Thecapedoctor (talk) 14:13, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
Extended content
Hi {{Ping|1AmNobody24}} , As a daily newspaper reader, i often discover topics of importance and try to find the topics on Wikipedia to see whether i can Improve them. i made about 24 organic edits under my IP address over the last 2 years., im 54 years old so im not that good with the latest technology and social networks but i love typing and writing especially in my notebook.
i just discovered this Artist in a Newspaper i read every morning which was published in the Newspapers yesterday..
i created this wikipedia account because it said to create the topic page i need to sign up.
i also discovered more newspaper articles about the topic which covers the topic in detail and his significant impact he has on the youth in Cape town, also working with a Notable Musician.. i read that notability cant be inherited so working with notable people doesn't make him notable automatically..
but i'm just curious before i start a draft page for this topic, can a reviewing person or admins assert that this person is notable enough to have a standalone article? should i create the draft? and how do i create the draft? if this topic is notable enough how do i start a draft or article? that part im still trying to figure out.
here is a list of the articles i found in my Google news app by searching B Major or B Major SA.
i saw that it was deleted several times! wow but things have changed since then i guess, the artist has been featured in more trusted newspaper articles in the last week. would you be kind enough to assert notability for me please? Thecapedoctor (talk) 14:34, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

May I have a reason why the Agharia page was reverted? I feel like if we're talking about the Agharia people, both sects must be mentioned. I feel like I must also point out that the Agharia sect in Chhattisgarh, Odisha, etc. is the bigger and more major sect than the Gurjarati sect, as seen as the Agharia Language page refers to the language spoken in the first region (where it is spoken) and not the assimilated Gujarati sect. Simonsorf (talk) 08:51, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi @Simonsorf, I reverted your edits for multiple reasons. The wikilinks you added to disambiguation pages are wrong, jatland.com isn't a reliable source and you paraphrased your text from it without attribution which counts as a copyright violation. Nobody (talk) 08:58, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
Fair enough. It is pretty important to add this other sect of Agharias onto the Wikipedia page, though, as the situation between people and language may be confusing.

You deleted my entire contribution because you claim that a reference was missing! Which part of the article is not referenced? It can't be the parts linked to existing wikipedia sources and entries, or to the literature already listed below the article, so which exact statement offended your sensibilities? I am reinstating the entire contribution until you tell me what yer problem is.
We can keep this up and I can look through your contributions and see what I can delete. I don't have as much time to waste as you obviously do, but I can spend some spare time being a hyper critic too.
Hi @LiPingXhao The section you added had only one source added to it, which was a External link to the Swedisch Wikipedia. It is wrong to add a External link in the article body and to use Wikipedia as a source, both is against policy. If you say that the section could completely be sourced with the references already in the article, then you should have added them to the section. Also threatening to look through my contributions and see what you can delete, which is Hounding isn't allowed and will get you blocked if you do it again. Nobody (talk) 15:20, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
I supplemented the the wikipedia link to Reinhold von Mohrenschildt with a reference to the biography of Mohrenschildt from Bernd Rieger. Why are these two references insufficient?

It's just that there are people out there who seem invested in blocking any such references. LiPingXhao (talk) 15:31, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Ok thanks. I understand that if I revert for a third time today, I could be permanently blocked. I will remove the link to the Swedish Wiki link but leave the Rieger biography as a source. Let me know now if you have any other objections because I really don't have time for this level of minutiae. If there's anything else, please let me know now. I will repost the contribution (less the "offense") tomorrow. LiPingXhao (talk) 16:03, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
@LiPingXhao Since your edit has been reverted multiple times you should try and get Consensus for the additions on the articles talk page first.

Thank you for your message. I added four sources where more information to the Vienna History Wiki can be found. They are open source and not hidden behind some paywall. I don't quite see, why additional information on a topic should automatically be advertising, just if you happen to be involved. In the short time in which the contribution was undone, you cannot have objectively checked if the added information of these four sources is of any value. If you looked it up and still find it to be promotional, I appologise and accept the removal. Christian.Michlits (talk) 12:11, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello, 1AmNobody24! Thanks again for your reply. Of course, I wrote that source. This is why I just provided the links and did not comment on them. I worked for the Vienna History Wiki, I disclosed that information and edited under my real name. You can read under "Definition of a source" that "A source is where the material comes from."

Hello 1AmNobody24, I notice you recently reverted an unexplained deletion of well-sourced biographical details by an IP user from the Maisie Adam article. This user has been doing the same thing since 2022- no other contributions of any kind. I have attempted to summarise all this on the talk page. After your reversion, they did it again; I, as I have done before, restored the information, there being no reason for it not to be included save the intention on the article subject's part (or that of an invested party) of hiding notable relatives, her grandfather and, given her TV career, perhaps especially her BBC executive uncle. Having restored the details AGAIN yesterday, I see a NEW IP address has done exactly the same thing; a dishonest edit summary "added details of X and Y" with no mention of their deletion of the biographical details. Given that I am only an IP user, I wonder if you can do something to have the article protected to prevent the repetitive vandalism by this person? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.236.195 (talk) 17:50, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi 1AmNobody24! I'm currently in the process of writing an article about a Swedish jazz fusion band called Hawk on Flight. The draft for the article (WIP) is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Hawk_on_Flight. Before making an account, I wrote this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scope_(Dutch_band) . Since I'm still confused about references and sources, I would like to ask a bunch of things:
- I've been told that album releases need to have references. What sources could I use for that? In this case, would using the record label's website as a source be considered acceptable?
- Is it possible to use YouTube videos as references for TV broadcasts? Even though I used proper sources to justify other broadcasts related to the band, there's some 1981 footage of them playing one of their compositions, which at the time hadn't been released. This video seems to have been recoded from Norwegian TV, but I can't find any Norwegian articles that mention this.
- Aside from the sources that I've already used, do you have any recommendations? I can't find any way to access Swedish newspaper/magazine scans, even after having signed up to the waiting list for the Swedish Wikipedia's Mediearkivet page.
Please have in mind that most of the article still lacks references, which I need to justify many of the things I wrote. Thanks in advance. --Staffscribbles (talk) 05:07, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi Staffscribbles, the quality of sources is determined by their reliability. The record labels website can be considered reliable for the album releases, so would be past chart rankings if the albums made it. Youtube videos are generally considered not reliable (RSPYT). The problem with the lack of sources of the TV broadcasts can sometimes be explained due to lacking notability. As for other sources: CDs can be added as a sources using {{Cite AV media}} and Offline sources in general are probably the best way. Nobody (talk) 06:50, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Thanks! I removed the 1981 broadcast from the article and included record label websites, but I still have some questions to ask:
- Many of the record labels mentioned in the article are defunct, and most of the ones that are not tend to omit any mention of the band in their websites for no apparent reason. Having this in mind, I might have to resort to using offine sources to prove the existence of the albums. How could I handle referencing them? The article that explains it is a bit vague, and since most people on Wikipedia might not have a physical copy of those CDs/vinyls - myself included - the odds of my article getting rejected could be higher.
- What sources could I use to justify claims that are mainly related to musical styles? The Norwegian sources I used for references outside of TV broadcasts are all from the early 80s and don't offer an in-depth description of the group's musical style at the time. Of course, Norwegian newspapers past this period rarely mention the band, since Haakon Graf, the only Norwegian member, left the group in 1982. Like I've previously said, I don't have access to Swedish newspapers and magazines to look for reviews, which I'd need to justify claims such as "This album has a style closer to jazz as well as a more accessible sound featuring typical timbres found in 80s music, such as Yamaha's DX7 synthesizer".
- Are there any issues with my current references? I would appreciate some feedback.
- Using offline sources for uncontroversial things will most likely not be challenged. But it's true that some won't count towards the notability requirements (Notability, NMUSIC), which is the reason most drafts are rejected. - I also don't know how those are normally referenced. You could ask for help at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Musicians or at the Help desk as they probably have some better advice for you. - The current sources are quite good, especially the newspapers. If you have time you could add |quote= and |trans-quote= to some (not all, only the most important ones, due to copyright concerns) as it would make it easier for non-swedish speaking users to verify the information from them (See Cite_news#Quote on how to use them) Be sure that all information in the Lead and infobox is referenced somewhere in the article. If you know all the Members years when they joined and left you could add a Timeline in the article (Example: HammerFall). Nobody (talk) 06:04, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

reorganizing the order of paragraphs on a current page
Latest comment: 6 months ago4 comments2 people in discussion
Hi 1AmNobody24. On Tuesday (5/23) I tried splitting a current heading into 2 paragraphs. I copied and pasted the way to make headings and updated the paragraph content as Arlene Harris desired. Later I also want to move that paragraph to the bottom of her page. The Bot said I have a heading error. I also updated two references and those references were numbered the same as those they replaced. How do you get the references in the right order? Do you have to start typing at the top to get references in the right order? Or maybe list them in the order they are included on the page? Thank you! JulesJDT (talk) 17:43, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi Jules, In your earlier edit you added [21] to the reference while changing it, which created an error. It was fixed in the following edit. In your second edit you added the references without the |title= parameter which is required in all references. You can see in this diff the improvements made to your references. You might also want to check out Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor to learn more about adding and changing references. Nobody (talk) 18:11, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
I would like very much to use the VisualEditor but my version of the Editor looks different. There is no option to do automatic edits. In the google version it says Edit Source not Editor. I have used google for all my edits. Will the number of the reference change if I rearrange the information on the Wikipedia page? I want to move some references to other areas because the current page asks for more references in a section that doesn't have any. Thank you so much#24! JulesJDT (talk) 16:59, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi Jules, if you want to use a reference multiple times in an article you can do that by: First, change the current reference from <ref>...</ref> to <ref name="1">...</ref>. Second, add <ref name="1" /> to the place where you want the reference to also be. Nobody (talk) 06:08, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

I've also noticed you replying to some reports by the bot, which isn't particualrly helpful either. UAA does not have clerks, the idea that it should have them has been repeatedly rejected. Just Step Sidewaysfrom this world ..... today17:08, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi @JSS, I can agree with the first part, but stronly disagree with the second part. If I see that the bot reported account is block evading, an LTA, or has done something that shows their username violates policy I'll reply so a patrolling administrator knows what to look for, calling that not helpful makes no sense to me. Nobody (talk) 18:33, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
That doesn't mean it's not helpful if the issue is already pointed out and I've noticed that those reports are often patrolled faster than others. Nobody (talk) 19:30, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting you're in any kind of trouble or anything, and the truth is there isn't actually a rule anywhere that says not to comment on bot reports. It's just that I've been working at UAA a very long time and have never felt such comments helped me come to a decision, as the only consideration there is whether or not the name is a blatant violation.

1AmNobody24, if your intent is to help admins at various admin noticeboards, and the admins active at said noticeboards tell you that your edits aren't helpful, then it's best to direct your good intentions elsewhere.-- Ponyobons mots20:07, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
I'm not one for off-wiki communication when it's not necessary. Anyway, it sounds like you're intent on continuing what you're doing regardless of the comments from admins here. <shrug>.-- Ponyobons mots19:49, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
@JSS I agree that some of my edits at UAA/Bot probably were not helpful. The way I currently see it is that: If the account has an ovious issue that would get it blocked at UAA (IU). It's worth pointing it out. (Due to this.) If I don't see an obvious issue I won't comment. Nobody (talk) 07:28, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello 1AmNobody24, Please always check implausible redirects whenever you move from a user page to draft like you did here. However, it's unlikely moving article from another users page to draft without their permission. In such problem, tag the page for deletion as WP:WEBHOST if its advert. You can also talk to the user on their talk page. Thanks. Safari ScribeEdits!Talk!10:47, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi @SafariScribe, I used to always tag the pages as U5, but some administrators decline and move them to draftspace instead. I don't know if there's a consensus for this or just different administrators preferences. Also implausible redirects from move is not a deletion reason as can be seen at WP:R3. Nobody (talk) 10:58, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
It is not for user pages expect during name changing. Please try to make sure they are purely promotional or WEBHOST before tagging. That may be the reason for the decline. Cheers! Safari ScribeEdits!Talk!11:01, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
That's not it. If G11 applies, then I'll tag them G11. Some pages ars U5 worthy only if they are in userspace and at the same time completely alright if they are in draftspace. Nobody (talk) 11:06, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Updating bibliography in the WIKIPEDIA article on Seta B. Dadoyan
Latest comment: 4 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion
Dear Colleague, I fully understand and indeed appreciate the strict rules of editing and the problem of "conflict of interest." However, the suggested edition was ONLY an updating of bibliography, such as new publications, corrections of exiting dates/pages. Obviously, this sort of information will only be available to the author. or myself. A full and complete bibliography is always welcome, and it is not available anywhere else, except WIKIPEDIA. I do very much hope that you will consider the edition/completion of the "Works" section. The existing one lacks a very substantial part of my works. As you kindly go over it, you will see that there is not a single statement or word of praise or evaluation. It is all purely bibliographical material.
Hi Seta dadoyan, the removal of the bibliography was mostly due to Style. The bibliography should not be longer than the rest of the article. Due to that, only the most notable ones, that can be sourced, should be added. While I understand that you'd like it to be the complete list, Wikipedia is not a directory. You could instead try creating a Bibliography list article on it's own at Draft:Seta Dadoyan bibliography, but I'm not sure how the notability would apply for that. It's also important to keep using the same style for all items, for example by using the citation templates for all them ({{Cite book}}, {{Cite journal}}). @Bbb23 Anything I missed? Nobody (talk) 06:31, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
As instructed, I cut the proposed update to 50% of earlier version, it is now in the required size and style. Please kindly consider the improvement, as the existing entry is seriously incomplete.
Advice if you want to apply for EFM and other stuff
Latest comment: 4 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion
I have some advice if you plan to step up to EFM – for example, in a few years. You need great knowledge of technical competence, have at least a basic-to-advanced knowledge of regex and edit filter syntax, make at least two or more prior contributions to edit filters (public or private) when you are an EFH, and have great responsibility (be accountable for any mistakes you might make). Those on what I just said are my type of criteria if someone wants to run for EFM (when they are currently an EFH).
As for myself, I might run next year for EFM having that I authored some LTA filters and brought one disabled private filter back from the brink, and I, as some dude who has good technical and regex competence, understand the consequences of the EFM role being used improperly and accountability with responsibility.
Note, there is also a private edit filter mailing list where EFH and EFM users/admins can subscribe, on lists.wikimedia.org. Because you hold the EFH role, you can request subscription to that list.
Hi Codename Noreste, I do intend to become an EFM down the line (Probably something we should have mentioned in my EFH nomination). But for now, I'm just gaining more experience (as seen in the new filter request I created yesterday). And while I think I'd be fine with the responsibility, I'm still lacking in regex and edit filter syntax knowledge. I'm already subscribed to the list, just haven't had time recently to take a look at the proposals there. Nobody (talk) 08:48, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

The removal of the entire 'Works' section from WIKI entry Seta Dadoyan, scholar...
Latest comment: 3 months ago10 comments2 people in discussion
Dear 1AmNobody24, as per our previous talks, the issue is the removal of the entire section on 'Works' from the WIKI entry on Seta Dadoyan, an "Armenian historian, scholar..." The reason was explained as the section being too long. I totally understand the concern, and it is absolutely legitimate. As discussed, I sent you a very abbreviated one page of all published works, books and few articles, with the expectation that we would pursue the effort to restore my 'works'.
The entry on Seta Dadoyan still stands mutilated, a scholar, and a prominent one at that - with 13 major books and dozens of articles - also a painter, seems strange.
The object is now to find a way to restore the article with a brief section on my "works'. Since all the items there are published by major publishers, there can be no issue of so-called "sources." I will send that page to you anytime.
Also, while we are in this subject, and I greatly appreciate your professionalism about these matters, there are other missing matters in the entire entry, I have no idea who the author is. I suppose WIKI is precisely the venue to highlight the specifities of any subject/episode/person. How do you deal with these matters?
I very much look forward to hearing from you, a very incomplete entry on Seta Dadoyan should not persist long.
Hi Seta dadoyan, the best point to start would be to create a complete list of works in your sandbox, sorting it by type (book (book series), articles). After that we take a look which ones can be considered the most notable ones. Since you know considerably more about Seta Dadoyan then I do, it makes sense for you to do this part alone and I then help on the second part of figuring out the notability. Nobody (talk) 15:28, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello, 1Nobody 24, I just want to make sure that as per your advice, this morning NY time 12:00, I did send you a complete list of publications in Word and PDF versions (even though the PDF in turn looked like Word in the sandbox. This is for you to kindly "figure out the notablility." I will ask you to please share your edition, if you see it appropriate.
Please confirm receipt of the material sent about 8 hours ago, and if it came through in good form. I may send the material as attachment, if you wish to provide an address.
Hi Seta, I've moved the list to your sandbox and started to improve it's layout, feel free to take a look there. It might take some time until I'm finished with it since I currently don't have much time to edit due to IRL responsibilities, but I'll do my best. Nobody (talk) 05:23, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi 1AmNobody24,
So nice of you to follow up this matter! We are on track, thank you. I just had a look at the sandbox.
Looking forward to finally having a decent entry worthy of WIKIPEDIA.
It has been a while to our last conversation (July 25), I was going through a serious life threatening health crisis, that ended in major surgery two weeks ago. I am returning to normalcy, and thought again of my mutilated and partial WIKI entry. Surely you were very kind to begin work on the "Works" part. What shows in the entry is still remotely representative of the bare facts about me, I don't even know who wrote that piece, probably an average, not too informed individual. Anyway, compared to colleagues' entries, mine was has always been the most primitive. When I tried to suggest a full bibliography, I was severely punished ...
I was thinking: may be it is time for an overall review and makeover. What makes me a most frequented and quoted authority is the total novelty of my historiography, aesthetics, and Near Eastern also interactive Armenian studies. These aspects have been absent from the beginning.
I suppose in view of this situation, and in all fairness, WIKIPEDIA could reconsider this fact. AS a WIKI editor, you may want to rewrite the entry, of course after being provided with all the necessary sources in support. I believe that just making a selection of the existing "works" -13 of which are scholarly volumes - will not improve the entry as it should. If you have other alternatives for coming up with a representative and informative entry, please let me know. I very much look forward to having your response, and thanks in advance.
Hi Seta good to hear your doing alright. I understand that it can be frustrating if the article of you isn't up to par with your peers. But sadly that happens a lot as people write mostly about things they're knowledegable about and I'm not sure if there's an active wikipedian working on armenian historians. And while I understand that this might be a time-sensitive issue for you, but others might not see it that way. I'll keep the article on my watchlist and maybe I'll get time to look into it, but it's not my area of expertise so no promises. Nobody (talk) 06:38, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
Thanks, and yes, I can see the complexity of the situation. Can you suggest someone or a "body" whose area of expertise it is to write an entry? I would appreciate your assistance. In the meantime, I look forward to having a section on WORKS at least.
Thanks, 1AmNobody24, I can see that things seem to be on a slow track, but this is life! The only and simple way out is probably to just add the list of my "Books", and leave the rest of the missing and/or important subjects for later.

You completely misunderstood the false positive report. I was talking about the talk page, not the main article. I was trying to add a comment saying that the main article should, instead of saying Long Island, refer to New York state (or both). And how is it overlink when it is substitution of one term for another in the article intro?
I understood what you meant, but the post would've been told that per MOS:OVERLINK: ...major examples of the following categories should generally not be linked:
Settlements or municipalities (e.g., New Delhi; New York City, or just New York if the city context is already clear; London, if the context rules out London, Ontario; Southeast Asia).
How is it overlink when it is the first mention of the locations when they are introduced in the article lede? And when the suggestion is to replace a term that is already linked with another? The links are not even the point anyway; the suggestion is that (linked or not) New York state is more appropriate than Long Island.
And if there was a valid response it could have just been replied to in the talk page, where such a suggestion belongs, so that other editors can also respond if there was something to say to it. 172.56.232.238 (talk) 17:02, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi, could i get feedback on these two pages I'm drafting?

I took care to reference the material and Maintain NPOV based on existing wikipedia articles and external resources.

Hello. First of all, thanks for feedback. But I have questions.
First of all, I described events neutrally in the article. I don't promote anything. I wrote history of summit and events in the years. I added independent, reliable sources, and this sources is not produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. So, what should I do?
Hi Əhməd Qurbanov, take a look at WP:PEACOCK. For the ones used in the draft: around the world, entrepreneur, expert, innovation, insights, more than, spanning, worldwide. Of course, not all of these need to be changed, as context is always relevant (for example: innovation is in the name so it can obviously stay.) But others such as "around the world" and "spanning" could clearly be changed to something that sounds less promotional. Nobody (talk) 08:09, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
It is really frustrating, to be honest. Because, I didn't use these words for puffery. In context, it is really true. How I can replace entepreneur to another word. Or insights Əhməd Qurbanov (talk) 08:18, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi 1AmNobody24, I saw your note on Bbb's talk page and it reminded me of National Iranian American Council (POV editing both ways, UPE/COI) with sources that did not support the content, poor sources and WP:SYNTH. I also noticed the same editor who heavily edited that article created Institute for China-America Studies and saw some of the same issues. As you can tell, I did some light editing trying to follow more closely what reliable sources state and removed a source that did not mention ICAS but like National Iranian American Council, it's still a mess. If you disagree with anything I have done, I don't have an issue with you amending it as long it is supported by WP:RS. I don't have the knowledge (or interest) to dig into it in any real way. S0091 (talk) 16:53, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
Hi S0091, your changes look good. I've been keeping my eyes on the articles in Category:Chinese propaganda organisations recently, as there is POV-pushing going on sometimes. I have a feeling there will be more POV edits at the ICAS article so I'll keep it watchlisted. Thanks for the cleanup, I'll try to keep it from being disrupted again. Nobody (talk) 17:04, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
I have no doubt that is the case. Many of these articles have no watchers/interested editors outside of those wanting to push a POV. The National Iranian American Council came to my attention due to a UPE sock farm I was following and looking through the history, it was nothing but POV editors from the beginning so I had no good version to revert back to. I was able to get it ECP because of it falls under a WP:CTOP to at least quell the disruption for a while. I'll also try to keep an eye on ICAS. S0091 (talk) 17:24, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Didn't see this before :-(
I've looked at the sources I used again. I've done an assessment in the Talk Page and hope that answers the reviewer's queries.
Thanks --Popityping888 (talk) 18:37, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello the section under Rupa Marya Controversy includes some inaccuracies I was attempting to correct. Can you advise how to best do that? --DecolonialScholar (talk) 20:47, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
Your edits to the article were vandalism and properly reverted. I've protected the article so for at least the time being, you - and other non-autoconfirmed editors - will not be able to edit it. However, if you persist, you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:02, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I got it it was first changes I did in "Member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation", first changes weren't visible but later it gets visible, I was new so I not know,
But see still, I not know can you tell me from beginner to advance level road map to learn the editing changing process?
Because quality is important, not just quantity, and there's a limited amount of reviewers. And not every reviewer knows about every type of article, so only so many may actually consider reviewing certain types of articles. Nobody (talk) 10:59, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi. You have stopped the editing of a draft article at draft:Shai Davidai - but it is still draft. Any copyvio issues will be addressed. Before it is offered up for review, prior to publication. But by doing so, you have prevented that from taking place. Please revert, allowing issues to be addressed. 184.153.21.19 (talk) 20:23, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

That was an Italian LTA. When you see them again on EFFPR triggering either 1094 or 1202, and they post on EFFPR, it's better to just simply remove their reports so they don't get the satisfaction they want. That's what I usually do. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk16:54, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I want to create a page about Matrona cyanoptera, AKA the Formosan Jewelwing. The page on creating a new wikipedia article says I can only do it by accessing the "red link" of an article that doesn't yet exist. However, when I try to access the non-existent article for "Matrona cyanoptera," I can't, because the URL automatically redirects me to the article on the genus "Matrona." Could you please tell me how I might create an article without being redirected to the genus page? --Nephila121 (talk) 00:00, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Not a question - an introduction: This is the second time I've signed up for editing Wikipedia. My interest is the accuracy of reporting related to "Port Hinchinbrook" and the Hinchinbrook Campaign (which I coordinated); and in Wikipedia reporting accurately the "facts" in the face of continuing efforts to distort them. I have access to 1000s of pages of government and other documents now digitised (took me 20 years). Thankyou! --M Jeanne Moorhouse (talk) 06:53, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I've noticed that you've created a few journal redirects to universities. As of now the university pages don't mention these journals at all. It might be better to add a list of journals that are published by the university to its page (with good references) and then creating the redirects. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:06, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
I've always had the Redirects are cheap opinion. Since they are not unreasonable search terms and sometimes even used as sources (RPURPOSE), I think it's unlikely someone will take them to RfD and even then I can just write a section about then on the target article. But I get why you you're not happy with unmentionted journal being redirected there. Nobody (talk) 08:21, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
