Conflict of Interest

Hello! Do you have any connection to Bishop's College School? I ask because you uploaded an image of their hockey team with the note that it is your "own work". ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:04, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Also, the number of edits you are making is ridiculous--esp. all these tiny little ones. Please combine them. And add edit summaries. And proper secondary sources. And stop sandwiching the text between images. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 01:03, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Sorry but was not very familiar with the wiki editing system. All the conflicting images are removed and nominated for deletion and is there a way to combine the editings I made to make it a less ridiculous edit number looking in the history page? Thanks for your help and understandings. Most sources I listed are from books and governmental issues. I guess we can switch them into proper citations step by step.— Preceding unsigned comment added by OOOOOOOw (talk • contribs)

I rolled back your most recent series of edits, which seemed to be a good faith attempt to make the references more readable by removing the source and inserting the title. However when you did this you removed the actual source URL, which is a net loss as most were readable online. Next time please just use this tool to expand the references. Finally, you didn't mention whether you have a conflict of interest of some kind? ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:31, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! Was so confused, if there a way that I can recite the photos to BCS that I accidently labelled own work? I basically just clicked everything without reading lol— Preceding unsigned comment added by OOOOOOOw (talk • contribs)

You still have not answered the question on conflict of interest. Are you connected in any way to the school? ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:39, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

June 2020

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:37, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! Was so confused, the hockey photo is not mine if there is a way that I can recite the photos to BCS that I accidentally labeled own work? I basically just clicked everything without reading lol— Preceding unsigned comment added by OOOOOOOw (talk • contribs) It's my fault. --OOOOOOOw (talk) 02:44, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

I studied at BCS before, that's why I tried to edit BCS in the first place and some photos are mineOOOOOOOw (talk) 02:46, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Bishop's College School List of Notable BCS People

Hello OOOOOOOw, In June of this year the list of notable alumni was split from Bishop's College School into the separate article List of Bishop's College School alumni. Later the same month List of Bishop's College School Faculty was added. Both are linked from the related sections in Bishop's College School. Then on December 6, 2020 you added the List of Notable BCS People. This appears to repeat the contents of two sections split off in June. If so why repeat the same content? If not, please explain. Thanks. Gab4gab (talk) 15:27, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for your relevant edits, yet, it is very commonly for schools to add their alumni Lists on their Wiki Main Page with an extra Alumni List section. This list is only for quick browsing to give a sense of the BCS alumnus association. The full Introduction of these people are in the seperated pages. Similar examples includes Eton College, Harrow School. In Canada Upper Canada College has a similar way of display. As I have checked that the two seperated pages only had 300 views since creation. I think it is very important for a commoner to judge the strength (both sides good vs. evil parts) of the school if the main article includes a Alumni List.

--OOOOOOOw (talk) 17:16, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello again OOOOOOOw, My observation is that it is very unusual to split off lists of alumni/faculty to separate articles and continue to list all of the same names in the school article. The examples you mention don't do that. Eton College lists about 120 names but they have many hundreds of names in the several separate list articles. The usual thing is to link to the separate list article, perhaps give an overview of the notables to be found in the separate lists and sometimes mention a small portion of the total list of names, usually the most notable ones. This is done in the existing notable faculty and notable alumni sections. Listing all notables in the school article and again in separate list articles adds a significant workload for little benefit. That the article list and the separated lists are organized differently also is not helpful. Gab4gab (talk) 18:32, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi again! What I would do is to eliminate some of the ones that are not so essential as you said. Please do not delete anything yet. I plan to fix these problems very soon in the next few days as its midnight in my time zone. Thanks!--OOOOOOOw (talk) 18:35, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Michel Lafrance

The article Michel Lafrance has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:BASIC; unable to locate any significant biographical details in secondary sources. Also fails WP:ANYBIO; the Prime Minister's Awards for Teaching Excellence has been given to 1,500 people in the past 27 years.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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 page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

December 2020

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Bishop's College School, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Meters (talk) 09:38, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi OOOOOOOw! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Bishop's College School that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Meters (talk) 09:45, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Bishop's College School, you may be blocked from editing. The image you added does not say that it was taken at BCS. Please stop trying to reproduce old school newsletters on Wikipedia. Meters (talk) 10:13, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Bishop's College School. Per WP:BRD it is up to you to take your contested edit to the article's talk page and attempt to get consensus for its inclusion. I don't think it belongs. It does not matter how many times old school newsletter or yearbooks used the picture. Meters (talk) 06:04, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of P & W, Money Changer

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on P & W, Money Changer, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
