  • See above conversation, except in this case your promotional intent and reference to 'we'--which indicates a desire to edit on behalf of the subject, as well as a communal use of the account--are enough to discourage further edits. I've reported your username for administrative attention, and will keep an eye on the article for further promotional edits. 2601:188:0:ABE6:88C9:71A8:B3A9:1FC6 (talk) 16:27, 7 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Just an FYI

edit

When you reverted this per ENGVAR, I think you may not have noticed that a free image was replaced by a non-free one in that same edit. In such cases we revert to the free image and tag the non-free one for deletion. I'm just alerting you since you appear to be active in patrolling and you may not be aware of this and I appreciate your good work. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 06:09, 25 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • Quite alright. I've explained my rationale further at the article's talk page. What's remarkable to me is that such lengthy unsourced expositions can reside on Wikipedia for almost a decade without being challenged or deleted. It may reflect the thoughts of an employee or someone who's unaffiliated, but it all appeared to be WP:OR. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 18:35, 30 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

I doubt it'll get much traction, but I've requested your account be blocked and the page be protected.

Neptune statue

edit

Hi, I'm new to Wikipedia so please bare with me... I had some trouble with editing the King Neptune Statue of Virginia Beach page... I work for the artist so any and all information relayed is the complete story and journey of the statue's fabrication. I can assure none of the information is biased in any way. The text very closely mirrors the existing information, and provides more to clarify it, as well as make it a more cohesive description with better sentence structure. I can very easily have the exact text posted to the artist's official website which could be used as a source if that would be more satisfactory. Paul DiPasquale will soon be working collaboratively with another artist on a project that involves the Neptune sculpture, and we wanted to polish up the Wikipedia page so that all the information is correct for those who might search the statue more frequently due to this upcoming event Theangeloid (talk) 07:08, 9 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Damien Richardson page

edit

Hello,

You just responded to my request to unblock changes but I still have questions. This is my first time contributing and, while I appreciate the need to cite references, I am unclear on a few things and I want to avoid being blocked again.

My intention is to update Damien Richardson's wiki page to include his medical career. Please let me know if the following cites will be acceptable:

1) Attended 2003 Super Bowl : Do I site the superbowl or the roster? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Carolina_Panthers_season (2003 Panthers Roster) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXXVIII (2003 Superbowl)

2) Education: Is it enough to use this site, which lists his degrees? https://www.bannerhealth.com/Physicians+and+Residents/Residency+and+Fellowship+Programs/_Programs/_Banner+-+University+Medical+Center+Phoenix/Orthopedic+Surgery+Residency/_Damien+Richardson+MD.htm


3) No reference for the fact that he is married with 3 kids

4) How do I post his photo? I cannot re-upload and do not know how to access it

5) Ideally, the page title would include his MD PHD designation but I couldn't figure out how to add that and I don't want to lose the search result placement by creating a new page.

I apologize for the lengthy request but Wikipedia has to be the most un-friendly UI I have ever experienced. The content I am trying to post is not controversial.

Thank you again! Courtrich05 (talk) 19:55, 29 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • Hi Courtrich05. Firstly, I have no idea how you managed to stick a block template on your own talk page--as far as I can see nobody else blocked you. As for the biography, please read WP:RELIABLE. Unless content is significant enough to have received coverage, it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. There's no intention to be unfriendly, but a lot of new users have the misapprehension that Wikipedia is something like a personal blog, where any family or professional news can be added. Please do read our guidelines--we don't add degrees to page titles; again, this would be inconsistent with encyclopedic formatting, and is appropriate for a resume. Cheers, 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:07, 29 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
    • Hello. I understand, thank you for explaining. I'm not trying to turn Wiki into a personal blog-- just simply thought the profile was incomplete. At the very least, it would be good to see the dates in his profile be consistent. The text shows his career ended in 2002, while his stats box shows 2004. I also have no idea how I added a block template here. My apologies if I did something wrong--again the UI isn't exactly intuitive. Thank you!

Courtrich05 (talk) 20:14, 29 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

(talk page stalker) I removed the {{unblock|suspected vandalism}} template you inadvertently inserted on your Talk page. Please note, however, that I added a {{connected contributor}} template to the Talk page for the article Damien Richardson (American football), which records that you have declared a conflict of interest with regard to that page (as the subject's spouse). Please see WP:COI for information and recommendations that apply specifically to you as a result of that declaration. General Ization Talk 20:23, 29 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that you shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1), content (CSD A3), or significance (CSD A7) moments after they are created, as you did at Draft:Beirut Art Residency. It's 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 patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks. 331dot (talk) 14:45, 4 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Also, the page you tagged was a draft, meaning that it is being worked on and not an article. They may also be intending to have the article reviewed prior to posting which will give them the appropriate feedback to make improvements. It may yet be eligible for speedy deletion but should be given a chance. Thanks 331dot (talk) 14:47, 4 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, Thanks you for your comment. The page has been updated with reliable source with the link. May I know which part of the article you think is not reliable? appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peace n Mercy (talkcontribs) 14:50, 15 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Many thanks for your reply. As I'm new user, I have tried my best to edit to fulfill the policy. Also to publish the reliable resource with the link to show that the article are genuine. Appreciate if you could you point out? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peace n Mercy (talkcontribs) 16:05, 15 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

  • Almost none of what you added was acceptable. As has been said, it's inadequately sourced and promotional in tone. Please read our guidelines carefully, and add content that is supported by reliable sources. The subject is clearly an honorable and spiritual person; an encyclopedia article isn't the place, however, to enumerate public appearances and honors, unless such information can be noted in brief, and with the proper references. Thanks again, 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 16:52, 15 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

  • I've removed the press release you attached to my page below--it was promotional and appeared to be either a copyright violation or a close paraphrasing of another website. I've recommended you not edit, per WP:COI. Several editors have attempted to counsel you on the way Wikipedia works, and I'm disinclined to continue. If you wish to continue, please use the article's talk page. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 17:51, 16 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello, apologise for the trouble! Many thanks for making some changes. May I ask you regarding my previous article Road to global peace, as you mentioned that the contents are all with promotional tone, however that was all real story of Lu. Would you mind give me some advise on how to publish it without conflicting any WP policies? Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peace n Mercy (talkcontribs) 14:31, 17 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Compensation for my wrong revert.. Failed to notice your edit summary unsourced. Apologies! —UY Scuti Talk 15:18, 19 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Much appreciated. As a registered account I was graced with rollback, and one of the advantages of working as an IP is that it compels me to take a few seconds longer to revert something, and allows that much more time to scrutinize the previous edit. Of course it's a pain, too. Cheers, 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 15:21, 19 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Your recent AIV

edit

  Thank you for making a report about Iwonlife123 (talk · contribs · block log) on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you. Boomer VialHolla 21:18, 19 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, sorry about that, I screwed up the template there. I also was not allowed to use those templates, so that was a stupid move on my part. My apologies. Boomer VialHolla 17:23, 23 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Please keep an eye on Henry Van Noye Lucas, and Henry Overstolz from which I just removed a good deal of family history. I left in spouse and children. If this material gets restored, please let me know. DGG ( talk ) 22:05, 4 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

  • DGG, if you should feel so inclined, please watchlist Stephanie Deshpande. Several accounts appear to be invested primarily in this bio, which I think is borderline for notability. I know that most of the exhibitions and awards are non notable, but have refrained from doing a full scale excision. The mentions in magazines and unsourced claim of a single museum collection are the best assets to significance. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 01:19, 5 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

User talk:Startupsmeet

edit

Hello. Just a reminder that users are allowed to remove talk page warnings - it's usually seen as them acknowledging them. Personally, I wouldn't have gone straight from stage 1 to stage 4 vandalism warning with them either - you did notify them of their COI editing though, so I can't fault your efforts. It may be wiser to work through warnings methodically, unless you're certain that the vandalism is a serious issue. Best, --Ches (talk) 18:45, 6 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Looks like they've been blocked. --Ches (talk) 18:46, 6 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • I know, Chesnaught555, that users may remove warnings. The user in question did so, only to restore promotional and copyright violations in one swoop. That's also why I templated them as I did; their sole intention was promotional, and they vandalized the spam blacklist page to pursue that course, which seemed pretty obtuse to me as an advertising strategy, but there you have it. They were blocked; I reported them simultaneous to issuing warnings. Perfectly happy with the choices I made on this one. Thank you, 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 18:50, 6 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the response. I'm sorry if I pissed you off, it was never my intention. --Ches (talk) 18:57, 6 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
I'm sure, and even if I get peeved at another editor it's never personal. I do catch unwarranted advice and warnings on a daily basis, owing mostly to editing as an IP. I often jump to level 3 and 4 warnings when they're merited--ascribe it to my having edited here for over a decade, my experience as a professional editor, and numerous other credible, though not infallible, qualities that have accrued with age. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 19:01, 6 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hallo, I don't want to disturb you but one question; you have read my article, and r that this article is not very relevant to my article. You wrote that, this article does not have any relevant information. What can I do to make this article more relevant for wikipedia?! What are the requirements for a relevant Wikipedia article? I am not looking for trouble, I just want to cooperate! Best regards JimmyMcPress (talk) 04:32, 7 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

  • I'm sorry, but there are so many profound problems with the article you've written, that I think in its present form it should be deleted. I've explained rationale in both my edit summaries and in the maintenance templates themselves. In short, though, you've copied an article you wrote on PlusPedia. That's not a WP:RELIABLE source, nor, as far as I can tell, is anything in the article supported by an acceptable reference. There's no indication, as far as I can see, of WP:NOTABILITY. If conflict of interest is an issue, you must divulge that, per WP:COI. Best wishes, 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 04:36, 7 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Ok. I understand. I'm very sorry if I have wasted your time. I have long written and worked on this article. It was a long search. Do you think that there's an alternative for my little work ?! A small tip would be a great help. I would be very happy of an answer. I respect your investigation and thats why I will delete the article immediately. JimmyMcPress (talk) 04:52, 7 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
You can work on it offline. Before attempting to publish it live, I'd strongly suggest reading Wikipedia's guidelines. If you can show notability by gathering reliable sources, it would be welcome. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 04:54, 7 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
ok. Thank you very much. I'll keep my eyes open. Who knows, maybe this guy will eventually famous. Then I can say that I wrote an article about a famous author :-) hehe. One last question: I read in this PlusPedia that the Wiki article will be be included without criteria... Are there some like the Site or Wikisites in the American Web?!

Thanks for reverting invalid speedy deletion tags

edit

I have deleted a few invalid speedy deletion tags and noticed that you had also deleted invalid tags by the same user or his/her socks. Thanks for this work. I placed an explanation of your edit to User:CactusWriter's page on User:Winterysteppe's page. Since I am not an administrator, I try not to meddle with other user's work or intervene unnecessarily. Here, I thought you deserved some credit. User:Winterysteppe's revert is perfectly understandable for the reason given. I might have done the same thing as an automatic response to what seemed like violation of a Wikipedia guideline. Of course, in this case, it wasn't and I thought you would like to know that someone noticed your effort here and gave you credit for it. Donner60 (talk) 02:31, 24 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

It makes my aging eyes hurt, too, trying to distinguish between these 57-digit IPs. Mrs. 99 is still recovering and in a cast, so I made dinner again, Blue Apron cod.

By the way, Drmies, it occurs to me that if I'd allowed myself to be nominated as an admin--back in the day when there were those who proposed such ill-advised action--I'd have had the tools to block you. Not that it's ever crossed my mind. Alright, but only once or twice. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 13:52, 24 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Drmies, how many times have we seen this [13]? Maybe one of the reasons that I edit as an IP--besides the rationale for privacy that I've mentioned before--is that of the contrarian.

Request to explain and review block

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

I've been blocked, apparently by mistake. Though no explanation has been offered, I suspect this has to do with my attempts to revert defamatory vandalism at Rachel Roy, and that my efforts there have been misinterpreted and lumped with the disruptions of numerous IPs. A thoughtful review of my edits there will clarify my intent. Please revisit this, Gilliam, and have a look as well, Drmies, Widr and Materialscientist. If there's some other reason for the block, I'd appreciate a better explanation. But I'd hate to think this is a case of guilt for editing as an IP. Thanks. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 09:36, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Accept reason:

  • 99, You haven't been blocked directly but have been affected by a rather large range block. I'm not familiar with IPV6 and those range blocks and have left a note at User talk:Gilliam#Very large range block. I'm sure the good doctor or the scientist or someone else familiar with this will come by to take a look at the range quite soon. Look forward to having you back! cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 10:16, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Now that a few more hours have elapsed in silence, I will share this: I was recently contacted by a reporter, whose sole interest was to sound me out on vandalism on Wikipedia. In responding, I expressed my disappointment with the site, especially regarding the continued vulnerability of biographical articles. That the shitstorm visited upon Rachel Roy lasted for something like an hour and a half is intolerable, and the foundation must do a better job at discerning ways of shutting down such disruptions and protecting articles. But I mostly pulled my punches in the interview: I write for publication, too, and didn't want to offer up some juicy quote of disaffection. Being blocked as collateral damage, however, ices my take on the value of retaining anonymity, and supports my experiences regarding the popular contempt with which IPs are held. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 12:34, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

I'll address your question about creating an account. Unless I'm missing something, I don't see any problems with you creating an account. You have a reasonably established track record of constructive editing from this IP, and as far as I can tell there's only been one editor using this IP since last fall. OhNoitsJamie Talk 13:26, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, but I withdrew that question; it was off-topic and I have edited quite productively with a registered account. My thanks to DoRD for addressing the block at Gilliam's page. As a side note, one of the many IPs I've used in this range was responsible for opening the ANI report on Neelix's redirects--I had no idea quite what I'd stumbled upon a the time, and when I shut down my access to that IP I did so in hopes of never editing here again. A long time registered account accused me of having hacked Neelix's account and planting the redirects to embarrass him. But now I remember--my real anger was over the amount of time and conversation required to take disciplinary action against an administrator, for behavior that would have prompted an immediate block on an IP account. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 13:35, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

I know it would be useless for me to try to convince you to use an account. But I'll point out that although your use of a Comcast block gives you some anonymity, it reveals more about your location than an account would. It also likely reveals your identity to anyone providing a web service that you have registered for, like Google or Facebook. Kendall-K1 (talk) 17:33, 27 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
