Suspicions of UPE
An eclectic collection of articles, seemingly all biogs are created by this editor and my UPE antennae are twitching. They have, so far, sidestapped requests for disclosure of paid editing. I have placed a level 3 notice for them just now. You are far better at detective work than I am. YOu seem to have UPE goggles. Fiddle Faddle 21:42, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- Timtrent, also puzzling is how they are freely editing with multiple accounts. The master being Abubakar A Gwanki, the image credit gives them away. Although I haven’t checked to see if they are legally socking though but it is clear that they are using more than one account to edit & from my experience, sockpuppetry & UPE are inseparable hence your UPE concerns are very valid.

- Celestina007, I tried to do it this morning and became rather lost in the welter of accounts. I'm not sure where to suggest the master is. One seems to supply illustrations, another moves drafts to main space, and there are more which means I am confused. I agree that it needs a clear head and almost certainly GSS's methodical approach and brain. I shall keep scratching my head, though I think CheckUser approach would cut to the chase, something unavailable to me Fiddle Faddle 05:48, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Re. your comment on Draft:Shivam Bhaargava
Hi there! This is in reference to your comment on Draft:Shivam Bhaargava I have added a few more relevant links to the article now to qualify for approval. Do you suggest this information is enough or should I be looking for more links?
There are multiple links added which mention him directly and few are even 1-1 interview articles. These are not just passive mentions, linking them here for reference Times of India 1 Times of India 2 Hindustan Times Interview Tellychakkar Firstpost Times of India interview
Please advice. Thank you in advacne. Wikipedia has always fascinated me, feels good to be finally contributing to it :)

Rebecca Nengi Hampson (Redirection)
Hi GSS, I noticed this article Rebecca Nengi Hampson was redirected to Big Brother Naija (season 5), I feel this article ought not be redirected because Rebecca Nengi Hampson has won the core of endless individuals around the globe decidedly. With her persevering nature, she keeps up a decent harmony between her business and public activity, aside from being a reality TV Star, She made the top 5 MBGN of 2017. Wikipedia is a first hand information source for any human on the internet, and as her brand grows, this article would easily be a form of first hand information for anyone seeking. It shows she is relevant and of course a brand to relate with.Anniebisilolo (talk) 11:22, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
Speedy deletion tagging
Hello, GSS,
I removed several CSD tags on articles where you claimed the page creator was a sockpuppet of a banned or blocked editor. But User:JSG1121 has neither been blocked or identified as a sockpuppet. Please do not prematurely tag articles for deletion based on your suspicions. Please wait until an admin has identified an editor to be a sockpuppet before going through their contributions and tagging their page creations. Thank you. Liz Read!

Deletion of Page Souhardya De
Hi GSS I highly regret the actions performed on page Souhardya De (Author) that you have put for blacklisting. Please note that the subject meets the notability guidelines and it is my fault that I’m not much advanced at editing. Kindly delete the articles I created and remove the blacklist so that his notability or absence on Wikipedia isn’t affected.

Cardano
Hi GSS, while I am a fan of Cardano_(cryptocurrency_platform), I support your efforts in having an objective and valuable article about Cardano on Wikipedia instead of fan-boyism based PR, I especially want to thank you that when you reverted the recent "contributions" by Kuckuckz you preserved my contributions regarding release dates and software versions!
Let me know if there is anything we can do together to end this "stupid war", and have article finalized, I myself see many mistakes in the current article, many of which actually present the platform as something more than it currently is!
I have zero interest in fighting a war when even meaningfull and valid changes made by me, which are actually critical to the platform in an objective way get reverted by moderators along with other junk added by others!

Please undo your last deletion
Hello, thank you for your time for the article Cardano (cryptocurrency platform) - You said i should seek for consensus but the within implied disagreement is baseless. Please undo your last deletion of my work. It is interrupting me so i can not continue to improve that article. For this reason i also did mention you there on the talk-page. Thanks again Kuckuckz (talk) 22:01, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Kuckuckz: Done as David Gerard pointed out in their edit summary, the contents are very promotional, and most of the sources are questionable so, I'm not going to undo my revert please use the article talk page for the consensus as suggested previously. GSS 💬 03:38, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- @GSS: You did delete my contribution to the article Cardano (cryptocurrency platform) - 17:53, 28 October 2020[1] You are stating 'promotional contents' without telling me what i should improve. You are just deleting all of my contribution not just the part that you declare as promotional. Where is 'promotional content', if you tell it to me i will replace it. I am also writing to you there on the talk page of the article but i got no answer.
- @Kuckuckz: First of all you appear to have a conflict of interest and it sounds like you are only here to promote the company so if you have a conflict of interest you need to disclose on your userpage. Your edits were challenged by three users including me because of the tone and sources you are using so again please propose your changes on the article talk page and let others review. GSS 💬 18:21, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- @GSS:The only conflict of interest is that i am writing and it gets removed without good reason. I am not promoting any company here on wikipedia on purpose. If i did please tell me and i will change those particular content. If you want me to paste my contributions to the talk page, i can do so.Kuckuckz (talk) 18:58, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Kuckuckz: What do you expect, on your own personal page only information about yourself that you provide is an ADA address for contributions for your "hard work".
- Till now nobody told me that it is bad to put a ADA address on my personal page. I do not have this for contributions as you accuse me, but for identity reasons. If this is the point why my work gets suppressed than i am really sad for those who do so. You should tell me if you want it removed not suppress my work because of it! Thats just immature and personally biased.Kuckuckz (talk) 19:00, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

- @Ganímedes: Have draftified it as a copy-and-paste move and declined the submission for "Draft:Ian Greenstreet" since none of the sources establish notability. GSS 💬 13:16, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hello GSS thanks for your work on this article, I just noticed that you declined the draft article on the aforementioned subject and I wanted to understand your reasons because I personally came across the draft article and worked on the citation issues on it. The subject is an investment banker and I found most of the sources in that sector which prove his notability; example of some sources used Nasdaq, United Bank for Africa, The Financial Times, etc. The subject is definitely notable and received coverage from the aforementioned, I don't think we can say that the sources are not independent when he has received coverage from the aforementioned independent institutions. Thanks --Flixtey (talk) 14:47, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hello @Flixtey: none of the current sources establishes notability because they are either passing mentions or announcements of his retirement. The source published on Nasdaq is a press release, United Bank for Africa is primary and FT has nothing to do with notability. GSS 💬 15:18, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi! I want to know why you moved the page from mainspace to draft saying it is "undisclosed paid". I am sorry but it is not true. The page I tried to edit is for a Tamil movie director who can be easily found on the internet. He has directed 3 films and I was surprised there was no Wikipedia page for him. When I set out to create one, I found this draft already existed and merely edited some details. Also, what kind of "cleanup" can be done? As you can see, every line has proper reference. Nothing is distorted or magnified. Please get back to me on this. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nayyaa (talk • contribs) 15:35, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Hello, Nayyaa. I was fascinated to learn that you know that the person who created that article did not do so for undisclosed payments. I shall be even more fascinated to read you explanation of how you know that. Exactly what is your connection to the person who created the article? JBW (talk) 11:07, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi! JBW Thank you for your response. I do not know the person who created this page. I merely wanted to create a page for this director. When I tried to, I was directed to this draft that already exists. I added some details and references and tried to publish it. But the “undisclosed paid” tag was added again and the draft remains unpublished. I am not paid in any way and I would like to create this page. Please let me know how to circumvent this problem caused due to someone else having created the same page but then got it deleted. Nayyaa (talk) 16:32, 9 November 2020 (UTC) Nayyaa
G4 at Liza Hanim Suggestion
I just got to see that you added G4 CSD tag on the article at Liza Hanim. But I guess, this is not a good thing here, because the previous AfD is more than 7 years old. Seven years old discussion is not a recent discussion. Nominating the article again at AFD would be much better in this case. What do you say? ─ The Aafī (talk) 10:42, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hello @TheAafi:, I feel this is almost the copy of the deleted version as per JBW's comment at the AfD that
The Spanish article is a straight translation of the English one.
and has no new sources. @JBW can you please compare it with the deleted page? Thank you, GSS 💬 12:01, 7 November 2020 (UTC) - The new article actually has less content than the deleted one, and no reliable sources at all. I can't see any reason whatever to think that it would survive another AfD in its present state. CSD G4 is intended precisely to avoid wasting editors' time on another AfD when there is no realistic chance of a different outcome. For that reason I have no intention of declining the speedy deletion nomination. On the other hand, I decided about 10 years ago that there is so much disagreement about exactly what constitutes sufficient grounds for a G4 deletion that if anyone contests a G4 when the new article isn't almost identical to the deleted one, it's not worth arguing about. For that reason I shall not delete the article now, but shall leave it for someone else to assess. However, if the G4 is declined then the article will go to another deletion discussion, and unless someone comes up with some suitable sources we can be pretty well certain that it will be deleted. If anyone thinks that will for some reason be a more constructive use of editors' time than letting it be speedily deleted, then they are free to choose that route to deletion instead of the speedy one. JBW (talk) 22:14, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- I have just seen the date of the speedy deletion nomination, which I didn't look at when I wrote the above message. I see that the nomination has now been there for more than a week. If it's been there as long as that without any administrator being willing to decide one way or the other, it should probably go to AfD. Obviously I have no way of knowing for certain how many administrators have looked at it or what they may have thought about it, but my experience over the years suggests that speedy deletion nominations which are left languishing for this long are generally ones where no administrator thinks the page should be kept, so that they are unwilling to decline the speedy nomination, but on the other hand they are not convinced that any speedy deletion criterion is satisfied, so they are unwilling to delete the page. As I said above, I would strongly expect an AfD nomination to succeed. JBW (talk) 22:50, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
- Well, I now see that it has gone, but it took 11 days from when the speedy deletion tag was added to the actual deletion. Not very speedy. JBW (talk) 22:11, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the response, I have been writing since long. Don't do it for financial stakes. Only the common thing for this article is that I belong to same state. Again I can assure you the same that no commercial aspect is connected and even I have just followed the same theme of writing which have been used in other literary festival pages. Rather I tried to stream up all literary festival pages by adding the specific category to them. Let me know how to improve the page.

Thank you for your comments on the Draft:Back to the Roots, Inc. submission. I've added more references to the article, and I believe the article now meets WP:ORGDEPTH. For ease of review, I've added a list to Draft talk:Back to the Roots, Inc. How many articles are needed for establishing notability? There are at least 10 that I believe meet ORGDEPTH and another 13 on the page. I know they don't all meet WP:ORGDEPTH but for the purposes of establishing notability, it appears there should be enough there. Do you agree? Thank you, Sfern824 (talk) 19:14, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
It appears you moved this as was a paid edit - am a friend and am not getting paid to help get sorted - what do you believe it needs to be included? Ben is a known person in the digital space and has done some interesting things - I can completely rewrite and add some more mainstream references if that would help. Or should I just create a completely new article?

New Page Patrol December Newsletter
Hello GSS,
- Year in review
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

- Reviewer of the Year
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
- NPP Technical Achievement Award
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Hi GSS
Thank you for reviewing my article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Yahya_Qanie) as I requested. It's sad to see that my article was flagged for lack of notability, however sources such as (https://www.independent.co.uk/independentpremium/long-reads/young-afghanistan-fighting-taliban-peace-process-b1760331.html) and (https://www.unitedambassadors.com/single-post/2016/09/10/Interview-with-KabulMUN---Model-United-Nations-in-Afghanistan) speaks so deeply about the person and at least 10 prominent sources describes the works.
I have requested the deletion of the page as your recommended, as an alternative. Please delete the page. Thank you for your time. AlphaWiki 19:44, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

This is in response to your post about my deleted page on Niraj Singh
In my opinion, upto the last coupe of lines, I was trying to state mere facts. Please help me with your opinion on whether I can delete these unsubstantiated facts and go ahead with the rest of my page? I am no expert on creating pages on wikipedia but my expectation was that people would help correct me rather than getting the whole work undone, unless all of it is useless.I will still need my draft to restart my work. It would be very kind if you could provide me that and also your honest opinion. - @pranav.pgp2013 (i'm not even sure how to sign myself off) still learning — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pranav.pgp2013 (talk • contribs) 12:34, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

I am inclined to believe one statement made by Domnipal. They say that they had not been aware of the work done by the other two paid editors. I believe that. The agency who is employing Domnipal on behalf of Ellen Alexander didn't tell Domnipal that the other two paid editors had submitted an earlier draft. One version had originally been disambiguated, and the other had not been disambiguated. Any article will require disambiguation, because there is already a different Ellen Alexander. So their employer didn't give them adequate information. That isn't the fault of Domnipal, maybe, but it is the fault of the agency. It is Domnipal's fault that they insulted you.

Troy Simonson
Hi -
I wanted to respond to your comment on Troy Simonson. I joined several months ago and have worked since then to edit content related to United States healthcare and added additional pages for notable figures in the world of United States healthcare. Wikipedia currently is relatively lacking in notable healthcare figures relative to other fields such as pop-culture and finance. In particular, the article you marked for deletion was that of Troy Simonson, who was the first CEO of one of the Top 10 Orthopedic groups in the entire United States. There is significant coverage of Mr. Simonson from the largest newspaper in the state of Minnesota (newspaper name is Star Tribute), Beckers News (a leading healthcare newspaper), and the Business Journal, as well as other publications. External links from professional sports teams and large healthcare organizations further his coverage. Being the CEO of one of the largest medical groups in healthcare specialty is absolutely notable, and there are dozens of articles supporting this as references. I added an additional Bloomberg business reference if helpful for you. Thank you for being a great member of the Wikpedia community, and I hope this response clarifies why this is certainly a notable figure in the US healthcare ecosystem.
Thanks!
Reminder of Wikipedia notability criteria for doctors

I'm here to talk about this Draft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_talk:Sartawi_Muthana

Request to undo edits on Bally Shoe
Hi there GSS! Have tried to reach out a few times, most recently by pinging you on the Bally Shoe Talk page (note below) as advised by Wiki editors from the Teahouse forum. They helped to push through some of my edits you reverted to help make the article better. Wondering if you could consider reinstating other objective text which could help improve the stub or make the article more factually true as every time I make an edit there, it is deleted. Want to help WikiProject Switzerland and add it to WikiProject Fashion. Thank you so much for your collaboration and help in this.
@GSS: User page updated, no COI. Teahouse helped to restore aspects of the article I found issue with, namely outdated information and lack of citation. Please consider the original edits made with new sources to help improve this stub. Elp1108 (talk) 02:23, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

sockpuppets
respecting Draft:Charles Eisendrath, it would be simpler not to make speedy requests until the formal finding of sockpuppettry is actually entered. I did delete this one by the IntermezzoMan sock, because it seems clear. (I could have closed the case, but I don't usually do that & I wouldn't like to make a possible tech mistake) , But Eisendrath is so notable that I had doubts on that score also. This sort of situation with clear notability and an article which would do if trimmed a little is a dilemma to me, as I am strongly convinced both of the need to quash UPE and to retain usable content. In the past I would sometimes edit and adopt the article, but I'm not convinced about that any more either. DGG ( talk ) 06:05, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Jordan Nash shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
In addition, do NOT perform non-admin closures on AfDs that involve articles or nominators you are edit-warring with, even if you believe the actual edit-war is justified by WP:3RRNO. Consider this a 4im only warning on this subject. The Bushranger One ping only 07:13, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
- @The Bushranger: My revert on the page were strictly under WP:NOT3RR#3 as per off-wiki evidence and if you wish to see those evidence, please let me know. Thank you, GSS 💬 07:16, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. You are repeatedly restoring content based on poor source. I suggest you self revert you last edit and join the talk page.

I had put Amity University, Mumbai because a majority of sources on internet were saying so but after your message I checked with some reliable sources as cited in Wikipedia and added the one which was suitable. I will ensure that this kind of mistake would not occur in future. Thanks, Arunya Sakthi (talk) 05:58, 11 February 2021 (UTC) GSS 💬, And the other sources and contents are reliable so may I know the reason why you have removed it? Because I think the Government of India's ceremonies and all are reported with utmost care. The press release is a reliable source because it published by PIB. And the official website of Dev Joshi has all the information required. It isn't promotion. Sony SAB's show Baal Veer has its name in the Limca Book Of Records and I have provided a source, an official website. (Except that Kuch Smiles Ho Jayein With Alia one which is reliable but not relevant. I apologize for this one.)(and Lucky is mentioned in the source which I have provided.) Please clarify your edits. Thanks, Arunya Sakthi (talk) 06:06, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
- No, a link to his official website (now dead) cannot be used so you need to provide third-party sources and press releases are not acceptable either. GSS 💬 07:03, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
- Ok. Now may I know why you have removed the source for his educational qualification? I have provided a third party source only. And why are you removing his role in Lucky? Arunya Sakthi, (talk) 05:09, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- I have restored those contents as it was a mistake. You are citing sources that are not reliable and I also failed to find the name of the subject in a few sources you cited so please see WP:RS to understand what is acceptable. GSS 💬 05:13, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- See, in this source (it is cited in the article), the subject is present there and it is saying that he has acted in the show Lucky. then why are you removing the content from the filmography, television section? Arunya Sakthi (talk) 05:33, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- See here to know why I removed that credit. Next time please cite better sources to support your edits. GSS 💬 05:37, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- Well, GSS 💬, now that you have removed some sources and I have accepted my mistakes and clarified the sources, could you please remove COI notice as I am not closely connected/affiliated to the subject of the article. Arunya Sakthi (talk) 06:03, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

You sensed it a long time ago
I observed you noticed @Jackwizy's sockpuppetry tendencies long before I did, take a look at this SPI. This is why I believe even if technical evidence doesn’t support sockpuppetry behavioral patterns suggesting obvious sock or meat puppetry should be put into consideration and a block accordingly be invoked because tbh, anyone with an iq of 100 can beat technical evidence/game the system.

On Certified professional page you have mentioned "No evidence of independent notability", do you mean links I have used are not enough to establish notability ?
@GSS: Let me know what other information you need from my end or if my reply on your questions are satisfactory, please restore the page. Jamesinhere (talk) 10:26, 8 February 2021 (UTC) Jamesinhere (talk) 17:45, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
GSS 💬 I have noticed that you have placed WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:N tag on page, As I haven't received reply from your end and assuming it will take some time, I have reached out to other editors for help and found that I need to share some sources which will show independent subject coverage on it. I have done research from my end and found that there is a book on this subject https://books.google.co.in/books?id=-FKcxQEACAAJ&dq=certified+professional+coder&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&redir_esc=y, if this source suffice, can you please move this page into draft so that I can further update the page.
I don't have much knowledge on wikipedia editing and any help is greatly appreciated.

new Draft:Omah Lay
Hello GSS, I attempted to create a new draft page titled 'Omah Lay' and noticed you had moved/deleted a previous page with same title in August 2020 created by a different user. I am inclined to ask what the issues were and what became of that action as well as any counsel going forward.
Thanks --OtuNwachinemere (talk) 22:42, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
- @OtuNwachinemere, don’t even bother. They weren’t notable then & they still aren’t notable now, so it’s like I said, don’t even bother. Celestina007 (talk) 20:06, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Hey Mr, Arjyou is a famous youtuber in Kerala. He has 3 million subscribers on YouTube. He has got so many awards from news medias. the information given on Wikipedia page is accurate. Then why are you move it to draft that page? If the page doesn't come back, we people start campaign against wikipedia! (Question of Whole Kerala) Anoopsajeev (talk) 08:22, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

- Ignore it and get them blocked. It didn't work when the government tried or the crazies with that actor who killed himself, no reason to think this is any different. Wikipedia doesn't cave to the demands of subjects or fans. CUPIDICAE💕 10:24, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Hello
Hello, you just reverted my edit in the article Deepa Nishanth. I removed the tag as Im not the creator of the page and has the right to do it. And G4 also criteria excludes pages that are not substantially identical to the deleted version. This is an improved one. Thats why removed it. Anyway Im not going to remove it again onkly because I dont want to engage in an edit war. My autopatrolled right is temporary and will expire today. So I need to apply again.

Reverts on Varma's article
Yesterday I used nearly 3 hours to edit on Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company and then you decided to revert all my edits. The reason you gave was "Multiple issues; addition of primary source, lack of inline citation and advertising. Please use the article talk page to request changes as per WP:COIEDIT". On the talk page I told that only 1/8 references I added was internal but you haven't commented that. On October 2020 we had a long discussion about whether or not paid editors can edit and the resolution was that I can continue as long as I follow the rules. So could you point me the rules you think I was breaking now? Jjanhone (talk) 12:00, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Locke Cole's edit-warring in Embarcadero Technologies
GSS, do you think it's worth taking action on WP:AN/3RR on this guy? It's apparent from your discussion at Talk:Embarcadero Technologies you're working with some admins to get the page cleared up, so I hesitate to get in the middle; in the meantime, he's reverted four times, including once after receiving and hiding a WP:3RR warning. TJRC (talk) 22:40, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- I didn't "hide" it. I paid it the attention it deserved from a vandal. —Locke Cole • t • c 23:53, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
A page affected of a violation of WP:TOU and WP:SOCK;
@GSS: A page on the Nigerian singer Oxlade (musician) was deleted on 22 February 2020 and 14 August 2020 under the violation of WP:TOU and WP:SOCK with a possible WP:PAID. The subject recently caught my attention following his nomination at the popular Nigerian award ceremony The Headies and also been featured on Coming 2 America, Africa soundtrack album, curated by Def Jam Recordings and Def Jam Africa, titled "Rhythms of Zamunda", which features Tiwa Savage, Nasty C, and Diamond Platnumz. Would love to rewrite the article, and I clearly understand the article has been marked as WP:Sock by you, can't it be fixed?--Afí-afeti (talk) 05:58, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
Gia Merlo page moved to draft
Hello GSS. Please note that I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits. Please move the page back to main. Respectfully, Interfever (talk) 08:48, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- There is pretty clear evidence off-wiki so please take a look at WP:PAID and make a disclosure on your user page. GSS 💬 09:34, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- I have no idea which evidence you are talking about. I did not receive any money for my edits. It is absurd that you ask me to disclose something that is simply not true! Dr. Gia Merlo is as deserving of having a Wikipedia article about her work as any other physician and author currently listed on Wikipedia. Respectfully Interfever (talk) 14:45, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
