Your readditions of a non-RS

edit

Hello. Happy weekend. I see you've restored a deleted non-RS. It was deleted because Showbiz411 is not an RS, per Wikipedia:USERGENERATED. This was explained in the edit summaries. The removals were appropriate. The readditions are not. You did not supply any edit summary. What is your reasoning, or was it a mistake? Wikipedia:USERGENERATED is rather clear on this. --2603:7000:2143:8500:6825:3E6:E1FF:4C08 (talk) 04:07, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hello, your edits are very strange, surely you are not vandalizing and another create an account--Secretsgenius (talk) 04:09, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
My edits are entirely proper. Read Wikipedia:USERGENERATED. Furthermore, I explained the basis for my deletions in my edit summary. You, on the other hand, provided no edit summary explanation of your reverts. Which you should do, when reverting another editor. Obviously I am not vandalizing anything - all you have to do is read the English Wikipedia content guideline that I pointed you to, and to which I linked. Someone has perhaps spammed WP with inappropriate mention of this self-generated blog. Perhaps they were confused. Perhaps they have a conflict of interest. I don't know. But whatever the reason, that material is not appropriate for the project. There is nothing "very strange" about my edits - I don't even know what that means. And "strangeness" is not a reason to revert proper deletions. Kindly revert yourself. Thanks.--2603:7000:2143:8500:6825:3E6:E1FF:4C08 (talk) 04:14, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
You are someone anonymous, because you do not create an account and give them greater confidence in what you do about it, sorry your edits are very strange you are withdrawing references in paractically several articles give us an explanation of what you are doing.--Secretsgenius (talk) 04:18, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
I gave you a precise explanation. In my edit summaries. And above. The deletions are appropriate because Showbiz411 is not an RS, per Wikipedia:USERGENERATED. For the same reasons, you re-additions violate wp policy. Editors at wikipedia need not use a user name - if you think they do, you are quite mistaken. Yes - this problem plagues many articles. There are more articles that it plagues. Terrible. But it is not an RS. It is not an appropriate reference. I have already given you the Wikipedia content guideline a number of times. Now, please revert yourself, or else we can of course ask an admin to look at your edits, and indicate whether your deletions because the edits "look strange" and are "on many articles" and I choose not to adopt a user name are ill-founded. Which, as I have told you, they are. 2603:7000:2143:8500:6825:3E6:E1FF:4C08 (talk) 04:26, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

A couple of weeks ago someone started a discussion at RS/N on whether Showbiz411 is a reliable source or not. You gentlemen might want to consider reopening it. Daniel Case (talk) 04:21, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. I opened it. Out of an abundance of caution, though I did not really think there was an issue. Nobody seemed to care less. It was archived. But given that, having taken that first step, the content guideline is clear. So I applied it. This editor, who seems new, is not arguing that it is an RS. That's not the issue. He just thinks IPs are not allowed to edit. Or to edit many articles. Or to be "strange." Whether it is an RS has not been an issue in dispute. 2603:7000:2143:8500:6825:3E6:E1FF:4C08 (talk) 04:26, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Daniel Case - I've already explained this to him. Can you please? I can't seem to get through to him. As I said, he thinks the problem centers around the fact that I am an IP. 2603:7000:2143:8500:6825:3E6:E1FF:4C08 (talk) 04:31, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
an IP with strange intentions remove material from various articles explain all their contributions. I ask you a question? What do you really do? You have never been noticed for removing references--Secretsgenius (talk) 04:34, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
(edit conflict)@Secretsgenius:, the fact that he's an IP should not have any bearing on his argument. But I would also counsel you, the IP editor, that in the absence of a discussion establishing some consensus on this, editing as if there is can be considered disruptive if you do enough of it; it won't matter how in the right you are ultimately found to be. The fact that you went ahead and did it after the discussion died doesn't mean you're wrong, but it does not give you the right to edit that way.

Perhaps you might want to start a discussion on one of the articles' talk pages? Daniel Case (talk) 04:36, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Thanks, Daniel. I'm not sure why we are seeing this differently. I made deletions to x articles. In each case, I left an edit summary. Explaining the deletion. Writing "Showbiz411 is not an RS, per Wikipedia:USERGENERATED." Secret reversed y such deletions. Zero edit summary. I was unaware of his reverting me until you left word with me at 4:04. I then opened up discussion on his talk page at 4:07. I did not engage in any article edits thereafter. Secret, however, even after I opened up discussion, kept on reverting my prior edits. As here,[1] 14 minutes later. What are you seeing that suggests that I "went ahead and did it."
I'm simply waiting for him to understand that I am allowed to edit, as an IP. And that Wikipedia:USERGENERATED is a wp content guideline. And that reverts of non-RS refs are appropriate. Especially when they involve BLPs, as many of these do. And that his feeling that something is "strange" is not reason to revert. These are the issue this editor has raised. I think you know, as with (thank you) his view that IPs are not editing properly and therefore it is OK to revert them, this other views of his are without basis. Perhaps if you could gently inform him of that, it would be of assistance. --2603:7000:2143:8500:6825:3E6:E1FF:4C08 (talk) 05:04, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
It is the right thing to do before removing any references from the articles that I edit, ask if it is possible, do not do it the way you have been doing--Secretsgenius (talk) 04:39, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • It is fine to edit as an IP. You have a mistaken impression. Perhaps Daniel will chime in and assure you. In the meantime, you may find this - though it is only an essay, not a guideline or rule - to be of interest. Wikipedia:IPs are human too. So simply get it out of you head that the fact that I am an IP gives you a right to revert me.
Also, you again use the word "strange". Now, you say I have "strange intentions." My intention is to edit in accord with Wikipedia:USERGENERATED. That is not "strange". It is appropriate. What is inappropriate is you reverting my edits. And adding back a non-RS. That is a violation of wikipedia rules. So, no, don't revert a proper edit because you find it "strange" or assume with no basis that my "intentions" are strange.
I do not know what you mean when you write "What do you really do?" I explained above what I am doing, and why.
I also do not know what you mean when you say "you have never been noticed for removing references." That makes no sense to me. But it certainly is not a reason to revert me.
Again - you seem to not understand the rules here. I have laid them out for you. Repeatedly. As well as why my deletes are proper. And your reverts, inserting inappropriate material, is a violation of our rules. Please fix that. I don't see a need to bring this to others if that can be addressed. I've been very patient I think trying to explain this to you, as perhaps you are a new editor.
And it is perfectly fine for me to make those proper deletions on pages that you edit - most of which have blp implications to boot, without asking your permission. 2603:7000:2143:8500:6825:3E6:E1FF:4C08 (talk) 04:44, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Both of you, please. This isn't going anywhere. I implore you both to step back for a while. Daniel Case (talk) 04:58, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi Secret. I tried to respond to Daniel Case in our thread. But you deleted it.[2] I do not know how else to respond to his comment to me. Can you perhaps restore it?

  Hello OaxacaGenius! Your additions to Garrett Reynolds (BMX riders) have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 15:21, 7 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

I'm not familiar enough with the subject to assess notability. However, articles should be written by summarizing reliable sources, not copy-pasting text from copyrighted websites. Please read through some of the guidelines I linked above to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's copyright guidelines. Have you copied text into any other articles? Feel free to ping me further if you have any questions. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 15:28, 7 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
