Hi Ollie231213! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
You might not have noticed, but Said Akl was born in 1912, not 1911. A quick search at google books reveals that he apparently celebrated his 100th birthday when entering the 100th year, which is far from uncommon in Asia an Arabia. I see that you included persons whether or not there is an article about them. So you might also add Yang Jingnian (zh), professor of economics.--Xquenda (talk) 19:47, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
Another one: Cecilia Seghizzi, born 5 September 1908, Italian composer and painter.--Xquenda (talk) 09:41, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
What about Wolfgang Fränkel, the Attorney General of Germany? [1] He should be old enough for the alltime List.--Dangermouse600 (talk) 22:24, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
Cheers!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your user page may not meet Wikipedia's user page guideline. If you believe that your user page does not violate our guideline, please leave a note on this page. Alternatively you may add ((Db-userreq))
to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it, or you can simply edit the page so that it meets Wikipedia's user page guideline. Thank you. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 23:11, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
Er, what exactly is wrong with my page?
Ollie231213 (talk) 00:32, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
And how exactly do you determine whether a user page "looks like an article"?
I simply maintain lists that are more extensive than those featured on main Wikipedia articles and include further information which some people may find interesting/useful.
Why is it an issue if I continue to do so?

Hello, I'm DerbyCountyinNZ. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Misao Okawa because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!
Please don't remove a deletion discussion notice from a page while the discussion is still in progress, as you did at User:DHanson317. You must have failed to see that the notice said "You are welcome to edit this page, but please do not blank, merge, or move it, or remove this notice, while the discussion is in progress." It is a good idea to carefully read any notice you are considering removing, before doing so. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 10:32, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi Ollie231213. Your main userspace contains a draft/copy of an article. Per WP:HUD this should go in a user subpage. WP:FAKEARTICLE also applies. – JBarta (talk) 10:40, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
Actually, looking back at your userspace history, you've had this pseudo article going from the moment you created your userpage almost a year ago. I also see this issue has been brought to your attention a few times. I'm tempted to seek deletion immediately on the grounds of WP:FAKEARTICLE, but am willing to hear from you first explaining why this has not been moved/merged to article space long ago and worked on there by the entire community. – JBarta (talk) 10:57, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
Greetings,
This so-called "pseudo article" exists in the manner that it does for several reasons:
1. When I first joined Wikipedia I noticed that many people on Wikipedia used their user page for keeping lists of data and similar things. I therefore chose to keep lists of notable centenarians on my userpage, because Wikipedia has the benefit of auto-updating ages.
2. My list of "oldest living notable people" contains people who have Wikipedia articles in ANY language, not just in English.
3. I have absolutely no idea what a "user subspace" is. I am still relatively new to Wikipedia.
4. The above disagreement with DerbyCountyinNZ was not resolved.
So, maybe you could give me some direction in how to relocate the tables on my page, rather than just "seeking deletion immediately", which is NOT productive and of no help to anyone.
Regards,
Ollie231213 16:51, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
What do you mean?
If I find a 100th birthday report for a notable person with an English Wiki article, I will add them to List of living centenarians. But I have not created a new article.
Ollie231213 22:28, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
I do contribute to longevity-related articles as well as keep these lists on my user page. It's not as if I am purely focussing on my own page.
I look at web host and I see this:
"Personal web pages: Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia."
Why is the content on my page not relevant? And what makes the content on your page relevant?
When you say I should "go through my list line by line, merging anything unique into existing articles and removing what is mere duplication", what exactly do you mean? I could not add centenarians with say, a German Wikipedia article in to the English List of living centenarians article because it would be removed.
One more point I would like to add about "working together": I feel that many more experienced Wikipedians do not work effectively with those who are less experienced. For example, take this recent discussion about the proposed deletion of another user page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:DHanson317
All I was trying to do was make reasonable, logical points - but what ended up happening was that I got bombarded by users who were throwing Wikipedia guidelines at me, without giving a decent explanation as to why they disagreed with me. I have often felt that some users have become a little obsessed with power and superiority. Some are more worried about following every guideline to the letter than acting in the best interest of the encyclopedia. For example, look at this discussion:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Misao_Okawa#Oldest_.22Asian.22_person.
Unfortunately, at times I don't like the way that Wikipedia is run. I created the lists on my user page with the intention to create lists of the oldest notable people (both living and all time), which other people could look at if they wanted. The reason I did not add them to a main article on Wikipedia is because I thought that they would get taken down, because a user like Derby would object to various things, such as including people without a Wiki article.
I hope you can see why I am a little frustrated.
Regards,
Ollie231213 23:56, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
And here is the problem with an encylopedia that "anyone can edit". Just because consensus has been reached does NOT mean that the best action has been taken. What if you have ten "normal" people disagreeing with an expert? Is it most important to listen to the majority, or the person that knows what they're talking about?
In response to your question: I would prefer to do anything that would not result in me losing all of the content which I put a lot of work in to creating. I will raise the issue of notable centenarians with non-English articles on Talk:List of living centenarians.
One reason for creating this list was so that I could effectively take all the "living centenarians" lists from different language Wikipedias and put them all together.
Now, please answer my questions:
1. Why is the content on my page not relevant? 2. Why is the content on your page acceptable? 3. Can I transfer the content to a page like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Deaths_in_2013/My_OR_stuff
Ollie231213 11:43, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
Well I'm dreadfully sorry that I'm trying your patience but since I put in a lot of work in to creating the content, I am NOT happy that I am now being forced to remove it all. I was under the illusion that what I have been doing is fine because other people had maintained similar content for SEVERAL YEARS without any campaign to delete them, such as Dhanson317.
I have already had someone back up my suggestion on Talk:List of living centenarians, so at least let me wait to see if we can gain consensus on my idea, because I could then merge my stuff in to that.
Ollie231213 13:58, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
Even I can't get consensus, I would at least like some time to copy all the data to somewhere else, eg. a spreadsheet.
Ollie231213 14:42, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
Okay, I will do. Thank you for your understanding. I am here with the aim of improving Wikipedia, not to fight with other users and ignore guidelines. I just feel that sometimes, the rules need to be bent slightly. Not doing so can be detrimental to the article, and if a majority are more interested in sticking rigidly to the guidelines, then I see this is as a problem (see Talk:Misao Okawa). Sigh. Nothing much can be done about this, unfortunately.

User:Ollie231213, a page you substantially contributed to, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Ollie231213 and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of User:Ollie231213 during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such a removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Ricky81682 (talk) 22:04, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
Ollie231213, yes, you have discussed this with me, and at the end of our conversation you indicated you were going to merge what you can and delete the rest. I can see you have made some effort to merge some information, but the situation is largely unchanged and you have attracted the attention of others. Here's the situation... almost certainly in a short amount of time (several days?) your userpage will be deleted. Before that happens you are welcome to copy the material and store it on your own personal computer. Then you may take as long as you wish to merge whatever you'd like into existing articles. And after this episode has passed, you should confine your article/list building to Wikipedia articles (new or existing). – JBarta (talk) 23:02, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
Ollie, I really have to comment about your lack of threading in discussions. In a discussion thread, reply to a post by preceding your comments with colons (:) to indent your comment to the appropriate spot. Look at virtually any discussion thread (other than ones you have participated in) to see how this is done.When you comment without proper indentation, it makes the thread almost impossible to follow. Below is an example of threading (view source to see how it's done)....
Comment.
Comment about something else.
It's a simple system actually. Please, for the sake of others trying to follow the discussion, use it.
Thanks. – JBarta (talk) 21:59, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
I wanted to let you know that I know that you're looking to improve the encyclopaedia and that I also know that all of this deletion and reliable source/original research stuff seems to be coming out of nowhere and is overwhelming.
Believe it or not, I'm not deliberately setting out to make things difficult for you or the other GRG editors. Wikipedia has a veritable maze of policies and guidelines. Unfortunately, it seems that many of the GRG members who edit here didn't know about these policies and so have been doing what they thought was right, which turned out not to be the same as what Wikipedia thinks is the right thing. Now we have a situation where, years later, all of this is coming to light and it's a huge bunch of stuff to deal with all at once. Honestly, I wish all of this had come up a long time ago, too, because there are so many articles affected and it's going to be a lot of (tedious) work to fix them.
Leaving all this alone isn't really an option, because once it's known that these problems exist, they can't be ignored. I hope we can work together instead of being at loggerheads. Ca2james (talk) 03:21, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
exercise restraint and include only material relevant to the person's notability, focusing on high-quality secondary sources. We can't just say that someone has died; we have to have proof in terms of reliable sources.
Hi. Do you know who is oldest verified person ever from Malta? There has been several reports about Maltese centenarians between 102-106 in last years. I've read that oldest woman ever from Malta was Connie Galea who passed away in 2000 at the age of 109. I think that Malta should be added from Oldest people by Nation if possible? 62.72.228.251 (talk) 15:37, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ollie231213 - along with my other editing, I work on conflict of interest issues here in WP. You work on GRG related articles here in Wikipedia and advocate that Wikipedia should rely on the work of that group. I don't see anywhere, that you have made a statement of whether you are part of that group. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by out WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with the GRG? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, with please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), perhaps we can talk about that a bit. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 12:18, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
Well it's been a few years anyways so I started Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Koto Okubo (2nd nomination). I don't know if there's consensus that just having been the world's oldest person overall is sufficient for notability (at the time she was the oldest woman in Asia and that wasn't sufficient) and I think we have another one on Australia so we'll see. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:29, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Ollie231213, because you participated in the prior discussions regarding the table structures, I decided to start an RFC here. I think the discussion moved away from the table to the note option but I just want it fleshed out with more than the same people. The attempt at a neutral explanation is probably more mangled than understandable so perhaps you can explain it better but my overall understanding is that you want to make sure that names that aren't sourced by a "validating or verifying agency" (e.g. the GRG) are distinguished in some way (color, a separate column, a separate note or just don't include them at all). -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:16, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all pages related to longevity, broadly construed.

In your posts on WT:WOP and elsewhere, your posts are repeatedly covering the same ground. For example, you keep bringing up newspapers with respect to reliable sources, implying that all newspapers are reliable sources for everything or they're reliable for nothing.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] You also keep bringing up the idea that validated entries have to be separated from non-validated entries and that fact has to be separated from fiction.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]
You have also said that others, in particular Ricky81682, are making straw-man arguments when your points that all newspapers are reliable for everything (or nothing) and that validated cases have to be separated from non-validated are refuted.[20][21] Make no mistake: both of those points have been refuted.[22][23][24] Those are not straw-man arguments but arguments based in policy - and even suggestions on ways forward, in some cases.
I understand that you think that we're not getting what you're saying but we do, and we have responded to your points with arguments based in Wikipedia policy. These repeated posts aren't going to change anyone's mind and they're becoming disruptive, especially since they tend to be long. If you have something new to add or a different argument to make, by all means do that, but please stop going over this very-well-trodden ground. Thank you.

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence WT:WOP. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.

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/153.151.83.197, 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.

Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding Longevity, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system.

The following sanction now applies to you:
Topic Ban from Longevity broadly construed
You have been sanctioned for the reasons provided in response to this arbitration enforcement request.
This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Longevity#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.
You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Spartaz Humbug! 09:45, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2017–18 Oldham Athletic A.F.C. season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Penalty kick (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:28, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the ((db-afc))

, or ((db-g13))
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 20:01, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:
I’ve no idea what’s happened here but I want to categorically deny that this is a sockpuppet account. I haven’t even heard of this user before now. I’ve read through this discussion where the following reasons appear to have been given for why some administrators believed I was a sockpuppet of AH999/ChocolateRabbit etc: 1. “Both are fans of piping cities/FC, but in different contexts”. 2. “There are some behavioural similarities in talk page communication.” 3. “They share some similar edit summaries and patterns when it comes to reverting” 4. “The thing that I did find striking… is that both accounts were contributors to Deaths in 2017, and with increasing regularity to Deaths in 2018 from the Chocolate Rabbit account”. Please allow me to respond to these one-by-one: 1. My edits to football-related topics are primarily to do with Peterborough United F.C., the team that I support, and also to other teams in the same league (EFL League One), whereas “ChocolateRabbit” appears to focus more on individual Premier League players. Football is very popular and there’s a wide range of topics within it, so I don’t see how you can make a connection on this basis. 2. I’m not sure exactly why you think our talk page communication is similar – this isn’t very specific. 3. I don’t know exactly what you mean here either, since I don’t feel that I do anything particularly unusual when reverting edits that would make you think I was also someone else. 4. I’ve actually contributed to the “Deaths in…” articles since pre-2017 – see these edits from 2016: [26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. I also dispute that I’m editing the Deaths in 2018 article with any noticeably increasing “regularity”. I made an average of around four edits per month to these articles last year, compared to eight so far this year. However, you’ll notice that, for example, I made 16 edits to the article between May-June 2017 compared to just two in July-August. The admins who blocked me also said that, unlike the other accounts blocked, mine was “a tougher one”, so clearly they had some doubts and have recognised that there are differences between me and the blocked user. If it’s of any use (admins can see IP addresses, right?), I’m a university student, so I therefore make my edits mostly from two different locations (home address and term-time address). These two locations are in Northamptonshire, England (near Peterborough), and Nottingham, England. The last edit I made before being blocked was made in Northamptonshire, but I’m writing this to you now from Nottingham. Finally (and this surely is the most convincing bit of evidence I can offer), I’ve been editing Wikipedia since December 2013, but this account was only blocked in September 2015. How can you create a sockpuppet before the original account was blocked? Compare my account to ChocolateRabbit who only joined in June 2017. I don’t know what else I can say other than to reiterate that this is an error and I hope it can be rectified as soon as possible. Ollie231213 (talk) 23:36, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
Accept reason:
I've went through all the evidence again and reviewed your unblock request and compared them to the other unblock requests. While I think it is very odd that there are six accounts on the same range with the same focus, the case you presented here was more well put together than any of the other unblock requests previously submitted by the user, raising enough doubt that you are the same person that I'm not comfortable with the block remaining. I've unblocked the account based on the assumption of good faith. TonyBallioni (talk) 12:32, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Ollie,
I see you’ve edited/ commented the date of Ray’s death being incorrect. It hit the news 25th December but he actually passed 24th December x 78.18.235.116 (talk) 22:48, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi Ollie,
Sorry don’t know how to reply to initial thread, I only came on Wikipedia last night. I am the source, I’m his granddaughter. The family and I were reading all the lovely articles/ tributes written about him online last night. We clicked on his Wikipedia and saw there was some information that was incorrect including the date that he passed away so we changed it :) 78.18.235.116 (talk) 23:43, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi Ollie,
Thanks for the heads up and thank you for your condolences. It’s nice to see people took an interest in his life/career and want information to be correct - will get in touch with them. I hope you had a nice Christmas, thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.18.235.116 (talk) 08:28, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
I'm reaching out to you regarding this as Rusted AutoParts chose not to reply to my concern. I don't understand the current format for deaths in 2021. If a user were to search "Deaths in 2021" that implies that they are searching for deaths of all of 2021. Since the articles are separated by month, the main page (Deaths in 2021), should be a navigation for all the months. There doesn't seem to be a point of putting December's on the main page, when there is an article specifically for December. If you could explain why this is that would be great. Thank you!
