Proposed deletion of Ruth Fine

edit
 

The article Ruth Fine has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:ACADEMIC

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

Nomination of Ruth Fine for deletion

edit
 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Ruth Fine is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ruth Fine until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Fiddle Faddle 11:15, 14 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Please explain, why? Yinonk (talk) 11:25, 14 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
My view is that she fails WP:ACADEMIC. You may take a different view. If so then the deletion discussion is the place to express that view while continuing to enhance the article. Fiddle Faddle 11:27, 14 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
I've added some new links. I think they show the notability of Prof. Ruth Fine in the field of Latinamerican literature research, and in Cervantes' work in particular. She has a worldwide reputation. Yinonk (talk) 11:34, 14 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
And I don't quite understand: who is "the nominator", is that you, Timtrent? And where exactly can I reply and explain, in the talk page or in the project page? Thanks. Yinonk (talk) 12:57, 14 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
The deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ruth Fine is the place to argue in favour of the article being kept. Your argument will be successful if you can show how the person meets WP:ACADEMIC, a document I commend to you. Not only must the person meet those standards, the article must demonstrate that the person meets those standards. I am the nominator in that I have nominated the page for discussion. I have not looked at the article to see what you have put in. I will by and by. Fiddle Faddle 17:32, 14 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nation-E, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages BMS and Saft (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Thanks for uploading File:Logo Nation-E.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:40, 3 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Push Foundation

1. So I should write in the talk page of every article I wrote and paid for? Also mention it in my user page?
2. I don't have any relationship with that user! I don't know who he is, just know he wrote a stub about Yoni Assia that was about to be removed. I was hired by Assia to improve it and so I did. Don't know anything about him. Yinonk (talk) 14:54, 29 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Yes, Heb-Wiki is asking to disclose the paid articles for some years now. I didn't know it was required on En-Wiki As well. Look, I'm just a guy, I edit books, and sometimes writing in Wiki, now and then for payment, usually not. Please don't make me a criminal. It feels bad. Yinonk (talk) 07:43, 1 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
No one is saying there is anything criminal here. I realize that you are doing this for a living. You work is commercial in nature. It is just against the WP:TOU that apply on all WMF websites which is the issue.
Here is another promotional article:
Your first interactions on EN WP were with another undisclosed paid editors specifically User:FoCuSandLeArN

Unblocking

edit
 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Yinonk (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

User:Doc James blocked me because I didn't disclose the fact that some of my edits in En Wiki is commercial. I have no problem to do that, I have full discloser in Heb Wiki for years now:[6], I didn't know I have the same obligation here too. And so I did everything he asked me to do, here:[7]. and here:[8]. But he still would not unblock me, without any obvious reason and with no explanation. Hope you can help. Thanks. Yinonk (talk) 13:51, 2 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

Based on a review of your editing here and the discussions below, I do not see how unblocking you is in Wikipedia's best interests. Yunshui  13:25, 1 September 2017 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

User has not disclosed the intermediaries they used nor have they disclosed all the articles they were paid to edit. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 14:38, 2 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
User:Doc James, first of all, I'm not "they", I have a name, Yinon. Second, there are no "intermediaries". Third, as far as I can remember there are no other articles I wrote in En Wiki. Again, I have no problem to disclose, but I wrote and edited articles voluntarily as well. Yinonk (talk) 14:57, 2 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
And Isaac Berzin?

And Aaron Frenkel

Above you say OurCrowd asked you to add text. Now you run a Wikipedia editing business yet for this company you are doing pro bono work?
Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:05, 2 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I edited Isaac Berzin and EarlySense for payment, but I didn't created them. Do you want me to add them to the list? even though It's not my article? Will do. I didn't get paid for editing Aaron Frenkel. They asked for my help and so I helped. Yinonk (talk) 15:15, 2 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
So this is the issue. You have NOT listed all the work you are doing on WP for pay. Also non of the articles are "yours", these are WP articles an no single person "owns" them. At this point I am inclined to leave the block in place for 1 year. If after a year issues have not occurred on Hebrew WP than you can apply for an unblock here. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:21, 2 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
User:Doc James, please have a look at my user page. I don't have "a Wikipedia editing business", I'm a literary editor, I edit books. I sometimes help people to write in Wiki, sometimes I ask money for that, in most cases not. I now and then write articles that interesting me, most of them in Hebrew, and sometimes people hire me to write articles. You can have a look again in my Hebrew user page, most of my work there is voluntary. Yinonk (talk) 15:29, 2 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Why are so eager to block me? It doesn't make any sense. I have nothing to hide, I will disclose everything. I would like to appeal to another admin please. Yinonk (talk) 05:42, 3 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Yinonk - you are required to disclose any paid editing, be it page creation updating a page, requesting a page be deleted or even making a request on a talkpage that someone else updates it. Anything you are compensated for needs disclosure.

You will need to convince us that you have sufficient understanding of the policies on paid editing conflict of interest and neutrality before an unblock request is likely to be considered. If you can't explain how you plan to edit within these policies then your unblock request is unlikely to be considered by any administrator. Amortias (T)(C) 09:53, 5 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Yinonk only disclosed a bit once they were blocked. Even than they did not disclose fully and left a bunch of stuff out. Due to there hesitance to fully disclose I am uninclined to see them unblocked.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:29, 5 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, Amortias. I'll make a full list by tomorrow. Plus, I understand the policy - I have fully disclose everything in my Heb. user page for years now:[9].Yinonk (talk) 17:29, 5 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • I do not think that Yinonk should be unblocked. Even for people who focus only on content, the content Yinonk has written is promotional - it does not summarize and share knowledge (our mission), but is rather about promoting people and organizations - a completely different goal and kind of writing. In addition Yinonk has violated the PAID policy, spirit and letter, and has only yielded bit by bit here as they have been pushed. They have been hiding this entire time (it is especially damning that they say they have disclosed at the Isreali WP this whole time). They have also violated COPYVIO, which for somebody who says they are a literary editor, shows clear disdain for Wikipedia. Jytdog (talk) 04:32, 7 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
I completed the list, here[10]. Don't think I've left anything out - if I did I will add it to the list. As I said, I have nothing to hide.
Look, if you'l decide to keep blocking me I will not argue anymore, but I have to say It's so unfair, I just didn't know I was obligated to disclose, that's all. I'm not a sock-puppet, even so User:Doc James maybe still think I am. If I've violated COPYVIO I'm sorry, it was a mistake, I don't think it makes me a criminal that should be thrown to the dogs.
Another small thing, just for the courtesy, please stop referring to me in plural. It's offensive.
Hope you can review it again. Thanks. Yinonk (talk) 08:17, 7 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
I use "they" as I do not make assumptions regarding peoples gender. If you have a preferred pronoun I will be happy to use it. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:10, 7 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
When you keep saying "but I have disclosed at hebrew WP" it just shoots to hell any good faith that you didn't know that you need to disclose. And the direct editing while not disclosing makes it many times worse.
You are like someone who dumps garbage in a national park, and takes money for doing that. And yes you have been trying to keep that activity secret. Is that behavior you want us to admire? Quite the opposite. Jytdog (talk) 16:43, 7 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
User:Jytdog, you got it wrong. I have no problem to disclose here just like in Heb. Wiki. I just didn't know.
Look, a few years ago I was approach by an Israeli admin. He asked me to full disclose the artiacles I wrote for money. I complied immediately. Did he blocked me? No. Did he tried to insult me by using words like "garbage"? No. He understood I wasn't aware of these roles, and that was it.
BTW, you'r deleting articles I wrote, good articles, like Bob Theil, which I wrote after I saw him in a gig in Tel Aviv, while I'm still blocked and can't defend it in the deleting process. I don't think It's right. Yinonk (talk) 05:43, 8 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
I am not deleting anything, and I do not believe you.
I went and looked at your Talk page at Hebrew WP, and you have been reminded there multiple times since 2014 about the Terms of Use, which cover all WMF projects. How stupid do you think we are?
And in any case, again - you edit like a marketing person, not like someone communicating knowledge; you violated copyright; and you have been hiding and violating the Terms of Use for 3 years now. I am not writing here further. Jytdog (talk) 05:47, 8 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
User:Jytdog, maybe you'r not stupid, but you'r defiantly a liar yourself (or can't read Hebrew). You went too far. Yinonk (talk) 05:59, 8 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
There is nothing ambiguous here. I actually try to work with paid editors to help them understand what they should do, but I do not tolerate bullshitting. If you had played this straight after you were caught out, you would not be where you are now. This is your hole. Jytdog (talk) 06:07, 8 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment I know Yinnok from the Hebrew wiki. To the best of my knowledge he is in good standing there, and has been complying with PAID requirements for hewiki since the resolution was passed in hewiki a few years back and he was approached by an admin. His talk page on hewiki is not full of warnings, but rather polite requests and clarification. There is sarcastic admonishment that he did not upload a picture for a paid bio (meeting licensing reqs on pictures... argh) - which he responded to by uploading a picture. I truly believe he was not aware of the rules here (which also changed during his tenure). If he was attempting to hide, doing so with a hewiki profile that screams paid is not really the way to do so.Icewhiz (talk) 04:26, 10 August 2017 (UTC) Final note - he did not approach me. I saw this after the Rimon Winery AFD. I would also be someone highly unlikely to be approached by him - my last and main engagement with him was in a BLP content dispute (who is mired in a controversy, Yinonk's editing had some merit, and he was approached by the LP after a suggestion to the LP after the LP himself attempting to make vast changes as an editor that would work in accordance to policy).Icewhiz (talk) 04:35, 10 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
I didn't say "full of warnings" I said "reminded multiple times" and this is accurate. People had to tell him originally and follow up two times. That is three reminders of what he should be doing anyway. And he disclosed how many times here? None. Jytdog (talk) 04:42, 10 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Hewiki is a diifferent environment, much less editors. A large proportion of active editors there know that if they see Yinnok there is a chance it is paid. So he gets asked. Many of the things he was asked by user:Hanay were edited before the hewiki policy change in 2014, so this is not quite a reminder but rather housekeeping on older pre policy edits (which he marked as well). To my knowledge he has been compliant on hewiki and is in good standing. I think it is very likely he was not aware of the changes here.Icewhiz (talk) 04:57, 10 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
You are making the case against him now, not for him. So he regularly edits directly, without disclosing, at heWP too. Looking at the talk page there he was asked in March 2014, again twice in May 2015. They disclose a list of paid articles there; nothing here. Jytdog (talk) 08:32, 10 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
No - he was asked in 2017 about old articles that pre-dated (2013) the Hebrew policy in 2014, and some of these were marked. He is in good standing and regularly edits - marking all new paid articles on hewiki. Old articles (pre-2014 when the hewiki policy was passed) - were also marked.Icewhiz (talk) 10:34, 10 August 2017 (UTC) (He was also asked in 2015 to add a paid template (which was added around then), Asked in 2015 to add a photo to a paid article (as he had access to the subject).Icewhiz (talk) 10:54, 10 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Addendum - you can see a list of known paid editors in hewiki here - List of paid editors and articles on hewiki. They are all regularly policed and their contributions reviewed (which leads to talk page questions - which you see on Yinonk's page in hewiki). Yinonk is declared since the policy passed in May 2014 (he was notified immediately following the decision, as he was known also before the decision), and is in good standing AFAIK.Icewhiz (talk) 10:50, 10 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Hm, ok thanks for clarifying all that. Makes his behavior in enWP all the more blatantly bad faith, as I said above. Jytdog (talk) 17:23, 10 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
And none of this is even getting into the disdain for the mission as well as content policies and guidelines that Yinonk has displayed even as they have flouted PAID. The blatantly promotional content, the bareURLs, the copyvio. Yinonk appears to be here to dump promotional crap into WP, quick and dirty to make a buck, and WP:NOTHERE to build an encyclopedia. He says he is a literary editor in RL; there is no way somebody who does that can edit this badly if they gave a rat's ass. That - along with bullshit dancing around the issue instead of playing it straight -- is why I keep replying here. Jytdog (talk) 17:29, 10 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
I don't see how so - he's been editing sporadically (dating back to 2012) in enwiki before the PAID policy change in 2015 (? or thereabout) - he was probably just not aware of the policy here, and his initial response here might have not been fully precise. To my knowledge he's a self-employed literary and linguistic editor that mainly works on non-wiki editing and publishing (I believe this is his website - <redacted>- but also does some paid editing and some non-paid editing in hewiki and enwiki (which is to my impression a small fraction of his work). If he was attempting to do "paid editing by stealth" - doing so under a real name, with clear labeling on hewiki and off-wiki really is not how one would do that if he was aware of the policy and attempting to circumvent it. I have seen positive contributions from him. But I'm backing off - said more than my 2 cents. I'm hoping Hanay will chime in here.Icewhiz (talk) 17:39, 10 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • User:Doc James, I took care of this one. What does the editor need to do to comply? I see they listed the articles they got paid for (they say); is there more you want them to do? Drmies (talk) 04:36, 10 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
    • Getting this user to properly disclose was difficult. That I needed to look through their edit history and stipulate all the articles they wrote for pay rather than them voluntarily disclosing is concerning. Add these to the copyright issues and the promotional wording that was used and IMO if this user is to return to editing they should be restricted from editing in the main space for pay. Ie they can post requests to the talk page as is best practice for paid editors. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 11:55, 10 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Trying to hire someone to remove tags

Someone is trying to hire people to remove tags about paid editing from articles you have created. Hum Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:55, 1 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

What are you implying? You think it's me?? Your'e so clever. Now everybody knows what is your real reason for blocking me. Gee, Doc, wouldn't want to be one of you patients. Yinonk (talk) 18:19, 1 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Unblock me?

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Yinonk (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

It's been nearly a year now. I've disclosed everything. Thanks

Decline reason:

It's not just a time-served thing. The amount of effort required to get you to properly disclose your paid editing was a big waste of free volunteers' time (you know, those who selflessly donate many hours of their time to help develop this free educational resource without any thoughts of personal enrichment). You have not addressed that evasive approach here, you have not explained what you would do if unblocked, and you have not convinced me that unblocking you would be to the benefit of the English Wikipedia. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:18, 27 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Oh, and looking back on this again, your snide personal attack on Doc James just above this section, does not inspire me to give you the benefit of any doubt - I think any further unblock request would need to include, at a very minimum, a convincing apology for that. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:01, 27 June 2018 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
