Your question about a translation

Hi, I moved your question to its own section at the bottom of the page so it can be seen better by other editors. You can find it here. DuncanHill (talk) 20:33, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I will check it. Irene000Irene000 (talk) 17:20, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello there. Which article would you like to have translated to German? De728631 (talk) 18:29, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you De728631 (talk) for getting back to me. I am new here so I do not know if it is indeed translation what I need. Actually, I want a page created on German wiki. The page must be linked to an English article. The article is about a model, named Fabio Mancini. I can create the page but I don't know German so I cannot replace the text etc. I need you to provide me with a German translation if it is possible and then I think I can create the page. Can you help me?Irene000 (talk) 23:33, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

There is already a page here about Fabio Mancini. I'm going to prepare a translation at the German Wikipedia and will then add a link to the other language versions. The subject does look notable enough so I don't see any problems. For further questions and comments, please reply here at your talk page only to keep the discussion in a central place. De728631 (talk) 11:12, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Please see de:Fabio Mancini. De728631 (talk) 13:05, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello De728631 (talk) !! I would like to thank you for everything. Just a question: Where is the infobox?? Irene000 (talk) 17:04, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

The use of infoboxes for articles on persons is very disputed at the German Wikipedia. This goes to the extent that they don't even have a generic template. De728631 (talk) 19:52, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Oh I see. Thank you De728631 (talk) for explaining this and thank you for your help !! Irene000 (talk) 14:17, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello Tucoxn (talk). As you are involved with the French wikipedia I would like to ask your help on something. I work in a series of translations for Fabio Mancini but the French wikipage for him was created before I got involved in this project. I see that there is an issue with the page in French and because I don't know French I would like you to tell me what the problem is. Could you please take a look at it and let me know what's the issue and if there is something I can do to fix it? Irene000 (talk) 20:16, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I suppose you're concerned about the little box at the top of the French article on Fabio Mancini. It's there because the article is an orphan. The definition of an orphan is more strict on French Wikipedia than on English Wikipedia: on French Wikipedia, an article must be linked in at least three others for it not to be an orphan. Fr:Fabio Mancini (mannequin) is only linked in two other articles: fr:IMG Models and fr:Wilhelmina Models. Lots of articles in Special:WhatLinksHere/Fabio_Mancini have French Wikipedia articles so there should be plenty of candidates for links. - tucoxn\^talk 15:29, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for replying back to me Tucoxn (talk). I see that French wiki is quite specific on this. I had no idea that this was the issue so thank you for informing me. Is it possible for you to fix this? If not you can direct me and I will try to do it. Irene000 (talk) 16:13, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Francescomaida100, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community. MSJapan (talk) 20:40, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which you may be involved. Thank you. MSJapan (talk) 23:49, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Paid editing in Wikipedia

Hi Irene000; thanks for disclosing above that you are working with one or more people in Wikipedia representing various models.

Wikipedia has a policy called WP:PAID that requires you to disclose your employer and the client for each edit you make in Wikipedia. I don't see that you have made this disclosure anywhere. I would like to help you come into compliance with the PAID policy and also with the COI guideline. It will take a few exchanges between us here, as I walk you through that. To get started, would you please disclosure your employer and the clients that are being represented? Would you please also identify the other Wikipedia accounts that are working for your employer?

I look forward to your reply -- you can answer just below. Please know that complying with PAID is part of the Terms of Use of Wikipedia - you should not do any more editing or asking for translations until you come into compliance. Best regards Jytdog (talk) 00:22, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello Jytdog (talk). I DO NOT WORK FOR THE MODEL AND I AM NOT EMPLOYED BY HIM OR ANY PERSON RELATED TO HIM ! WHEN I MENTIONED I REPRESENT THE MODEL, I MEAN THAT I VOLUNTEERED TO JUST CREATE A WIKIPAGE FOR HIM. MY REAL LIFE JOB HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. HOWEVER, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WIKIPEDIA HAS STRICT POLICIES I REQUESTED HIS PERMISSION WHETHER IT IS OK TO CREATE JUST A PAGE FOR HIM. I THEN GOT REALLY EXCITED AND I REQUESTED SOME MORE TRANSLATIONS. I DID IT FOR MY OWN INTEREST ONLY! AS I MENTIONED ABOVE THIS IS KIND OF MY FIRST PROJECT AS A WIKIPEDIA EDITOR AND I JUST USE THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR NOW SO AS TO GET TO KNOW MY WAY ON WIKIPEDIA. BY NO MEANS I INTEND TO WORK ON THIS SUBJECT ONLY. PERHAPS I USED THE WRONG WORD AND I GAVE YOU THE WRONG IDEA BUT I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT MY VOLUNTEERING DOES NOT VIOLATE ANY OF THE MODELS COPYRIGHTS AND I AM WILLING TO SEND YOU PROOF THAT I AM NOT WORKING OR RELATED TO THIS PERSON. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME BECAUSE I WANT THIS CONFUSION TO BE CLEARED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I NEVER EXPECTED THAT BY FOCUSING ON THE TRANSLATIONS OF JUST AN ARTICLE (A SIMPLE ONE FOR BEGINNERS) FOR JUST MY OWN INTEREST WOULD CAUSE SO MUCH TROUBLE BUT IF I VIOLATE ANY REGULATIONS PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME. AS I AM STILL A NEW USER THERE ARE PLENTY OF THINGS I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT AND OF COURSE I MIGHT HAVE MADE A MISTAKE OR SOMETHING. ALSO, I DO NOT DO IT FOR PUBLICITY REASONS. REALLY, THERE ARE SO MANY SOCIAL MEDIA TODAY FOR PUBLICITY PURPOSES, I WOULD NOT ABUSE WIKIPEDIA THAT WAY.

AS FOR THE CLAIM THAT I HAVE A DOUBLE ACCOUNT, THIS IS ENTIRELY UNFOUNDED. I ONLY HAVE THIS ACCOUNT AND WHEN I CREATED MY FIRST PAGE I DID NOT KNOW THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER USER WORKING ON THIS SUBJECT*. I FOUND ABOUT THAT LATER WHEN I UPLOADED A PHOTOGRAPH ON WIKIMEDIA COMMONS AND I SOUGHT PERMISSION FOR IT. AS I MENTIONED TO THE PERSON WHO FILED THE COMPLAINT WE ARE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE (SURELY YOU CAN SEE THAT FROM THE NAMES ON THE ACCOUNTS). IT JUST HAPPENS THAT I CHOSE TO FOCUS ON THIS FOR NOW. I AM WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY AND PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK ME FOR ANY PROOFS YOU MIGHT REQUIRE.Irene000 (talk) 10:09, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

I have just seen the comments the user who filed the complained on COIN did. When I first replied to him I was quite upset with the way the user came to a conclusion based on some coincidental facts. If you want to discuss this with me then please feel free to ask me. I will explain everything you ask because now I want this mess cleared more than ever.Irene000 (talk) 10:42, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

• SO AS TO AVOID CONFUSION AS WORDS REALLY MATTER: THE WORK 'WORKING' MEANS WHO DID SOME EDITING AND CONTRIBUTED ON THE PAGES - NOT WORKING AS EMPLOYED.Irene000 (talk) 10:52, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Wow that was a lot of yelling. Jytdog (talk) 11:11, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Jytdog (talk), you have my apologies if it is sounds like a yelling. I reassure you it is not. I just want to make my position clear and I am willing to cooperate in whatever you require so as to help you bring this investigation to a proper conclusion. It hasn't even been a month I started editing on Wikipedia and I face some claims that caught me completely off guard because I really have no double account and I really do not work for anyone. As I try to always comply with the guidelines I was completely surprised by the whole thing. I can see the logic behind the mess of the word 'represent' as it was a wrong word to use (I should have been more clear on my explanation but I really used it so as to state that I do not violate any persons copyrights or something). I certainly didn't realise that it could be possibly interpreted as if I am working for someone else, which I am not. If I was working for a person, an organisation or anything else I would had let you know the moment you sent your message to me. However, I only do editing just for my own interest. Nevertheless, I still cannot see the logic behind the complaint of the double account... Is it the first time that many users happen to be interested on the same topic? Is it because I am a new user and I haven't created my page yet? Irene000 (talk) 12:06, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

I also wish to make another thing clear: On the COIN page there is a claim based on a sentence I changed when I replied back to the user who filed the complaint. The sentence I corrected is this: 'I took over the other user's job for now'. I originally meant that I am working on this subject for now even though the other editor used to work on it as well. I wrote my first reply to the user when I was quite upset with the way he/she concluded something wrong. I later realised that the word 'job' might be misguiding and once I calmed a bit I rephrased the sentence into what I actually meant. I also tried to make my original reply to the user to be more polished in syntax etc. If you have any doubts about it please ask me. Irene000 (talk) 12:48, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

When two accounts have only edited one page, they may be Sockpuppets. Read WP:DUCK. Also, if you are adding promotional material, this is a violation of WP:PROMO. We were concerned that you were a WP:SPA.ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 12:58, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Oh, I see ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk). I learnt about the Sockpuppets yesterday and even though I want to confirm that I am not a sockpuppet I am not sure how to do it (if you could guide me on this I would be grateful). No! I did not add any promotional material and I am certainly not a WP:SPA. I understand your concerns very well but I reassure you that I am not a WP:SPA and you will see that in my future contributions, if you give me a chance. Irene000 (talk) 13:44, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Well, you can't just say "I'm not a sock", because everyone will think that you are a sock. The only real way to confirm that you are not a sock is for the SPI to confirm this. You can make a comment on your SPI investigation, just do that and get a checkuser to confirm (notify User:bbb23). ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 13:46, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

It seems that I have plenty of things to learn! Thank you very much for helping me with this ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk). So if I just state the truth on my SPI investigation and notify the user you suggested the issue will be fixed?Irene000 (talk) 14:03, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

If you really are not a sockpuppet or an SPI, yes, notify any CheckUser. He's one of the most active, so you will probably get a response fairly quickly. If you are new and need help, I suggest you go to the Teahouse for questions, get adopted, and read the guidelines. There are many people willing to help new editors, and many friendly admins. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 14:34, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you very much for all the help and guidelines ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk)! I appreciate it a lot :) I notified the user you recommended and hopefully I will manage to clear my name. So what happens now with this complaint? Do you require me to send you some proof of occupation, residence, anything that confirms that I am not employed by anyone related to the world of fashion? Irene000 (talk) 14:50, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for bothering you again Jytdog (talk) and ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) but I would like to know what further action I have to take so as to close the discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. Your help so far is very valuable to me.Irene000 (talk) 14:58, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Starting editing

WP:PILLARS is a good place to start off for learning guidelines, and take a week or so to learn the guidelines. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 14:49, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

WP:TOOSOON and WP:TNT are some good essays to start with, but note that essays are opinions. Also, look at precedent, and just take time to observe the parts of wikipedia in which you want to work in, learn how to do it. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 14:52, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the advice. I will try to do as you suggested!Irene000 (talk) 14:54, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

DO NOT send your personal information to anyone. Some people put who they are on their user page, but I would advise against it. This is not a secure connection. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 15:00, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Ok ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk). I won't provide my personal information unless an administrator gets directly in touch with me. Thanks once again. You might have saved me from doing another mistake and then have another complaint about me! Irene000 (talk) 15:00, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Japanese translation of Fabio Mancini

First of all, I would like you to be aware that Wikipedia is not a publicity platform, and I don't think spamming for translation on a new article is. I'm very concerned that you have a one-topic focus, and the article itself is honestly not that informative. I'm also pretty sure that you're User:Francescomaida100, so you'd better address that with an administrator.

Moreover, the different wikis have different notability guidelines, and I don't particularly think that an article that has no Japanese sources is going to be useful to a Japanese reader. The subject may be an "international model", but if he's only being covered in English, and doesn't even appear in Japanese fashion campaigns for these brands, that's a problem. I will translate it if I think it will have value to a Japanese reader, and I'm not yet able to determine that. MSJapan (talk) 20:19, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

MSJapan (talk) I am a new user at Wikipedia. The reason I work on this topic for now is because I represent the model. I have no idea how you concluded that I am User:Francescomaida100 but you are sorely mistaken. The User:Francescomaida100 is another user who used to edit the models pages. As for his identity it has been confirmed in a recent email exchange we had with a person from the Wikipedia Commons. I made sure to confirm the identities of all people involved so as to get permission and licence for the files each one of us uploaded in there. I could do the same for Wikipedia so as to verify that we are indeed two different people. I read the evidence you provided and your reference to meatpuppetry. Let me inform you that this is the first time I hear about it and even though I work on a topic that the other user worked before me I must inform you that this is just temporary and that I do not intend to be focused on just this article. It is my first job and through it I intend to learn my way on Wikipedia properly. I have no idea if I violated a regulation or something but so far I am trying to follow all the guidelines. As for your claim about publicity, it is not true. I will take however a closer look on the meatpuppetry subject you claimed on your evidence. I would appreciate it if you undo the mess you created about me and the other user. If you are not convinced at least help me by providing guidelines where I could send an email to an administrator so as to provide proofs of identification. I have already gone through a series of email confirmations about our identities on Wikipedia Commons so I do not mind to do it for here as well. Finally, I would also advice you not to jump into false conclusions without investigating matters properly first on all grounds. And just a question for thought: If I had already an account then why create another one and keep working on the same subject?Irene000 (talk) 10:13, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, see WP:COI. If you represent the model, you may not write the article. MSJapan (talk) 23:36, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Really, MSJapan (talk) did it never occur to you to ask me what I really mean by 'represent' before you proceed causing more trouble? Didn't I advice you not to jump to wrong conclusions? Anyway, your apology is unnecessary as this time it is my fault for using a wrong word and giving you a very wrong idea. Fortunately, an editor got in touch with me so I will sort out everything about these claims you made as none of these is actually founded. Another question for thought: If I was working for the model or someone being involved with him would I be so careless and state it just to you without making sure to go through the right procedures to confirm that everything is legal in wikipedia?? I am a new user and I make mistakes as I am unaware of some things but I am not such a careless person and I wouldn't violate on purpose a wikipedia regulation nor I would have proceed to say or do something without making sure that what I do is indeed according to the guidelines. Irene000 (talk) 10:30, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello MSJapan (talk). With this and that I completely forgot to thank you for your part in explaining about the Japanese Wikipedia. So, thank you for providing me with this information. Irene000 (talk) 19:43, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

continued discussion

It's not a mistake, just a bad idea. You won't be punished, vandals could target you though. I am not an admin, so I have no extra tools that I can use. It's out of my hands. I only have standard Autoconfirmed user permissons. I am a fairly new user, so go to a more expirenenced editor like JYTdog if you have more questions about more technical stuff. I am also busy right now, so I can't respond in the next couple hours. An admin who is good with new users is User:Anna Frodesiak ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 15:02, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

That's alright. The JYTdog is already in discussion with me and I will try to get some help from him. Thanks again for everything you did for me :) Irene000 (talk) 15:11, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

OK, this seems like a place to continue the discussion. Irene000 would you please explain clearly - what is your relationship with this model? Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 20:01, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello Jytdog (talk). I am just one of his fans!Irene000 (talk) 20:19, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Great. Would you please tell me how you came into possession of this photo which you wrote there, is a self-portrait by model? Thanks Jytdog (talk) 20:32, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes I can tell you Jytdog (talk)! I found the photograph on social media network. I thought that I could use this photo as personally I like it better than the one there is on the English Wikipedia. I sent an email to him requesting his permission if I could use it for a Wikipage I wanted to create. He is the owner of the photograph and he granted me his permission provided that I won't misuse it or something and provided that I will proceed legally. I wouldn't have taken a photo like that and upload it without informing the person for my intentions... Irene000 (talk) 20:42, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Please Jytdog (talk) tell me that this won't cause any more trouble! I am getting tired of this, especially because I decided to work on it by myself and even though I am truthful on my statements I seem to be creating a mess. Irene000 (talk) 20:55, 11 May 2016 (UTC) Also, I do not want to cause a problem for the model because of my incompetence, especially since he is absolutely not involved in all this.Irene000 (talk) 21:00, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

I am not sure what to say. here you wrote very clearly: "The reason I work on this topic for now is because I represent the model". That is not ambiguous. In that same diff, you also wrote: "It is my first job and through it I intend to learn my way on Wikipedia properly." Your calling this a "job" raises concerns too, as does "first job", which makes it seem that you are going to work on articles about other models that you want to represent here.

Then you yelled a lot and said you are volunteering here and said you don't work for him or anyone related to him.

And now you are saying you are just a fan.

It is not possible for me to resolve the contradictions.

Let me say something, and then ask you another question.

Some people think that having a conflict of interest or getting paid to edit means they have to leave Wikipedia if it is made public, or that it is something terrible. Neither is true. If you are paid or are representing someone, you just have to disclose that, and there are just a couple other things you have to do, but you can be part of the Wikipedia community and you can work on articles where you have a COI or are paid (just with some restrictions). It is really OK. I am saying all this because some people have these incorrect ideas and are afraid. But there is no reason to be afraid.

So let me ask you these two questions again, just in case you were afraid the first time - are you actually here to represent him, working directly for any of his agencies or as a contractor? Are you getting paid, or do you expect to be paid in any way, for your work here in Wikipedia? Please do answer both. And thanks for your patience. I hope you understand why I am trying to clarify things - I want to do that so that things are better for you in the future, after this difficult beginning. Once you answer this time, we will move on to other things. Jytdog (talk) 21:12, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Jytdog (talk) for your patience. As I mentioned before, by represent I mean that I have his permission to create the page for him. By first job, I mean as my first project as editor (I used the word job because it is a volunteering job). To answer your question: I do not work for him or any of his agents. I am not getting paid and I won't get paid for any of these. It is entirely volunteering work and my interest only! I understand that is OK to work on articles and getting paid. I would have stated it at the very beginning if that was the case. But it is not! I am trying to make you understand that I am saying the truth: I do not work for him or any person associated with him directly or indirectly and I am not related to him in any way. I am just a fan and I simply volunteered to choose this as my first job* on wikipedia. And of course I didn't do it to aid him in any way. I am not afraid to say this because it is the truth. Irene000 (talk) 21:24, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

• by job I mean project (sry I tend to use this word a lot because I really see it as a job :) )Irene000 (talk) 21:25, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

OK that is far as we can go down that road.

Please know that the same policy covers what fans want to do, and what paid editors want to do. Both want to use Wikipedia to promote someone. It is not OK to use Wikipedia to promote anyone. Please read WP:PROMO which is the relevant policy.

To avoid confusion in the future, please do not say anymore that you are "representing" anyone here, and please do not call your work here a "job", if you are not actually representing someone and if your work here is not actually a job you are getting paid for. If you do it, you will end up right back in this same place.

Please be very aware that because you are passionate about this model, it will be hard for you to be neutral and to comply with the neutral point of view policy, and it will be hard for you to be patient and allow consensus to develop when there are disagreements. Please do what you can, to keep your emotion under control, and to be patient and give other editors time to react. We have a good essay about fans who come to Wikipedia - WP:ADVOCACY - please read and try to remember the advice it gives. If you violate NPOV a lot, or are very impatient a lot, you will get in trouble. So restrain your passion here in Wikipedia.

Good luck to you. Jytdog (talk) 21:30, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

@Jytdog: I don't believe that she's a paid editor, but there are some issues with WP:COMPETENT. I don't think she's anywhere near ready to edit the encyclopedia, but there's no malicious intent. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 21:32, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

I think that is entirely likely. Fans/advocates are actually a harder issue for the community to deal with. Passion is a double edged sword - it drives people to contribute but it also makes it hard for them to understand that other people see things differently. What I wrote above is the best advice I can give to a fan. They do tend to violate NPOV, they do to tend to get emotional, and they do tend to be impatient, and these behaviors lead to disagreements with other editors that get messy and loud very quickly. Advocates who are self-aware of their passion and restrain it do much better here, and cause fewer problems. Jytdog (talk) 21:35, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Agreed. Dealing with people who don't know that they're doing anything wrong is always difficult. A mentor is probably the best idea here, but I don't really have the time to mentor anyone. I would try to contact Adopt-A-User. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 21:39, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Jytdog Thank you so much for understanding me. I would try to be extremely careful from now on, restrain my enthusiasm and passion and of course I would try to read through everything ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) recommended to me. I understand that some words we use to talk in everyday life must be used with care in TALK pages so as not to cause problems and I would try to be very careful from now on. I once again thank you for your understanding! I have to inform you that the page I created was just a translation of the English article so my point on that was neutral but I am grateful for your advice about the NPOV.21:42, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

I also sincerely thank you ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk). I don't mind being mentor by an experienced editor so as to avoid trouble in the future. Irene000 (talk) 21:42, 11 May 2016 (UTC) I honestly appreciate everything and I thank you for the patience in going through all these. Irene000 (talk) 21:42, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Also, if she isn't WP:HERE, and is just doing this for WP:PROMO reasons, this could be bad. My best advice is to take a couple weeks to learn the guidelines, and monitor AfD's and other proceedings to learn how Wikipedia works. On an unrelated note to the user: I would not use any texting-type speak on Wikipedia. Only use abbreviations when mentioning a guideline. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 21:44, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Ok ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk), I get it! As I mentioned I do not do it for WP:PROMO reasons! So is the issue resolved now? Please reassure me that there won't be any more trouble for anyone.Irene000 (talk) 21:47, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Quite honestly, probably not. You are still new, and if you continue to edit like a fan would, it is likely that there will be more difficulties. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 21:52, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

I was asking about this issue for now. However, I appreciate your honesty ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk). I do not intend to edit any other articles about models, I intend to start editing articles related to my real life employment. However what happens now for this claim? Is my account cleared or not? Also, in this discussion I mention a lot of things that I wouldn't like to have exposed for everyone on my talk page. Is there a way to keep this discussion just for you, me and Jytdog(talk) Irene000 (talk) 21:55, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

On a side note I do not want to have exposed the complaints on my talk page. Is it OK to delete them or is there a way to remove them? Irene000 (talk) 21:58, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

We're not done with this discussion just yet, and personally, I think it's going to show bad faith if you remove this at present, because you're hiding a legitimate issue.

Specifically to @Jytdog:: Aside from some apparently unfortunate usage previously which should address certain issues, it is stated very clearly here by Irene that she has "permission from the model to create the page." We don't work on that principle. To me, that implies actual contact with the subject (or an agent thereof). What's to prevent, "Hey Irene, we don't like this negative statement from a reviewer in the article. Can you get rid of it?" So I still see a serious NPOV issue, due to potential direction of information flow and the nature of the information. This thing is going to look very PROMO if that happens. Frankly, I'd prefer to see the user go work on something else unrelated for a while. Can you also please have someone check the OTRS ticket on the article image? I don't need the personal details of who, but I want to know how the permission was obtained, whether from the subject directly or from an agency. MSJapan (talk) 22:07, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi MSJapan I respect your concern and I did see that thing about getting permission. I should have addressed that and will do so below. About digging into OTRS, that is not something I would do. I actually in OTRS for a while and you have to sign a CDA, so those folks cannot reveal too much. They are volunteers and they could have screwed up, it is true. But I am not too concerned. Jytdog (talk) 22:35, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello MSJapan (talk). OK, the discussion will remain as it is for now as you are indeed right. I do not wish to hide any legitimate issue. I understand your concern but no I didn't add such a sentence or got rid of a sentence with negative review! I do not work for them so how am I supposed to do something like that? Certainly not! If you all give me a chance, ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) and Jytdog(talk) you will see that I am going to work on many other subjects. I just mentioned that I do not intend to do any editing on other models articles but I intend to work on subjects related to my real life employment. And as for the OTRS ticket is perfectly valid I reassure you. Please do not cause trouble for me in there as well. It was only last week that I confirmed my identity there through email exchange with someone from Wikimedia permissions. Irene000 (talk) 22:18, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Irene, please do not be defensive. Here is what MSJapan is saying. You have made it clear that you have been in contact with the model or his agency. It may be that in the future the model or his agent becomes unhappy with the Wikipedia page. It would be natural for them to remember you, and ask you to "fix it" for them. You, being a fan, would be delighted to help them. That situation would very much be a conflict of interest situation. What MSJapan is saying is that you are on a road that leads directly there. That is a good issue to bring up. If in the future you are asked by the model or their agency to change something in Wikipedia and you say "yes" to them, please be aware that at that moment you will take on a Conflict of Interest - you will need to declare that, and you should not make that change yourself, but you should propose it on the article Talk page. Do you understand? Jytdog (talk) 23:01, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes Jytdog (talk), I understand perfectly well your explanation. I am trying not to be defensive but this has started getting exhausting for me. I would keep what you said in mind about such a potential situation even though I am positive that is unlikely to ever happen. Is there anything else you wish me to clarify? Please let me knowIrene000 (talk) 23:25, 11 May 2016 (UTC) Also please let me know if everything is alright now and if I can proceed learning things and editing. Do you wish me to do something that will prove my willingness to cooperate with you? Do you have a request? Irene000 (talk) 23:36, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

not necessary. Thanks for talking. good luck. Jytdog (talk) 23:43, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

With such a bad start I think I will definitely need good luck in the future :) Thank you once again and please do not hesitate to contact me for anything additional you may require. I once again sincerely apologize for ALL the trouble caused to ALL of you. Jytdog (talk)Irene000 (talk) 04:32, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

All I request from all of you ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) and Jytdog(talk) and specifically MSJapan (talk) is to believe me and give me a chance. I can understand I made many mistakes, I understand you might be confused and suspicious and I understand that my enthusiasm was not appropriate but honestly I do not want to cause trouble for anyone and I do not want to make matters more complicated. All I want for now is to give me the opportunity to see some more of my contributions. Do not just rush to judge me like that. Please give me the chance to see that I am true to my words and that I do everything for just my and only my interest. Irene000 (talk) 22:31, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

archiving

There are "bots" that will automatically archive older discussions for you. I set one up for you. It is set at 21 days, so as soon as the last comment in any section here is older than 21 days, the bot will sweep it off into the archive. There is a box in the upper right corner of this page where you will be able to find that stuff. You ~can~ delete stuff off this page or manually archive it early. But you can just let the bot do its thing and not worry about it, too. Jytdog (talk) 01:14, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Jytdog (talk) for setting one for me. I must admit that I thought over it and since I do not want to receive any further comments that I attempt to hide a legitimate issue or something along these lines, I will just leave the bot do its job. I only hope that I won't receive any other complaints and that other users will be as understanding as you are. I also hope that my account won't be exposed to anything bad like vandalism... This issue, on second thought made me extremely worried about such a possibility. Irene000 (talk) 04:41, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

New Beginning

@ MSJapan (talk) I realise that you are a very experienced editor who must have contributed significantly on Wikipedia. I respect your work on this and I am actually quite interested now to learn more and more about how things work properly here. From what happened I also realised that you have really good knowledge of policies and regulations. Therefore, I would like to request you if you are willing to monitor my account from today onward so as to feel at ease about my activities. I will go through proper mentorship and I would like to in addition ask you if it is ok to assist me with any questions,problems/difficulties I might have in the future.Irene000 (talk) 04:53, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Your mentor will take care of any questions you might have. MSJapan (talk) 17:41, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Danish translation request

Hi Irene000! I noticed you made the same request to lots of other editors who offer to translate articles as you did to me. As you only have talk page edits, I find your obsession with this Italian supermodel on Wikipedia very unorthodox. To me, this whole thing seems like WP:COI and WP:PAID. I have therefore decided not to comply with your translation request. Sorry for the inconvenience. Regards, Doctor Papa Jones • (Click here to collect your prize!) 09:39, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello Doctor Papa Jones! I perfectly understand your worries and concerns. Of course, as you may have already read above someone else has been concerned about WP:COI and WP:PAID and I reassure you it is neither! Thank you very much for kindly replying to my request the first time and I sincerely apologize for making you waste time and effort on this. I had no bad intention and I honestly apologize for troubling you. I am also thankful for taking your time and kindly explaining to me the reason for declining. It is not an inconvenience at all, in fact it might be better that you declined as I do not want to cause any trouble for you. I also hope that if in the future I require your assistance with the translation of articles in other topics, you won't be affected by this. Yours, Irene000 (talk) 11:28, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

I hold no personal grudge against you and no need at all to apologize. Familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's basic guidelines and make some fruitful edits. Then we can start collaborating. If you are looking for a mentor or an inspirational editor, try and see if GAB has time to take you under his wing. Best, Doctor Papa Jones • (Click here to collect your prize!) 21:52, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you very much Doctor Papa Jones• (Click here to collect your prize!) ! I had previously contacted another mentor but due to real rife obligations he declined. So I will follow your suggestion and contact this mentor. Once again thank you for being so helpful :) Irene000 (talk) 11:23, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Hmmm, I checked the interests of the mentor you suggested Doctor Papa Jones• (Click here to collect your prize!) and we do not share much. So I do not know if it is a good idea to contact him or try to look for another one who we have more interests in common... Anyway, thank you for the suggestion. Irene000 (talk) 11:38, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

You can also come to me with any questions you may have. Happy to help. Best, Doctor Papa Jones • (Click here to collect your prize!) 14:21, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

I am so grateful Doctor Papa Jones! I have contacted two other mentors who are included in the list of people who accept adoptees but I have not heard anything from either of them. I understand that people are busy and the user you recommended last time is not included in the list of mentors. I would like to do some edits in science, programming and mathematics related pages, especially include some formulas and improve some existing ones. However, I do not feel confident to even change a letter in these pages because due to my stupidity and ignorance on my first attempt to do something I have now caused probably an irreparable damage. Even though all I want is to help improve things here, right now I am very worried and I do not want to change even a mathematical sign in any of these pages as I might cause another damage... If you know of someone who works on these topics and would be willing to help me please feel free to recommend this person to me. I also want to do something to undo the damage I caused but honestly I am at a loss right now and there are still so many things I need to learn. Thank you very much for being so understanding and helpful. I hope to be of help one day to you as well. Irene000 (talk) 15:29, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
