Hello there, I need your help with something. Recently, whenever I find someone doing disruptive editing, I go to warn them. A number of admins come to me and tell me I cannot give advice to so-called "veterans". Where does it say I cannot do that? It is clearly unfair and against Wikipedia's fundamental policies. I have been indefinitely blocked without any warnings once and had a hard time fighting for recovery. However, I see several "veterans" overprotected by admins, perhaps because they are "close friends". Wikipedia is suppose to promote diversity. I absolutely don't see that. Whenever there are contentious discussions, this "veterans" get the upper hand and support from the admins.
I am not trying to say all admins are like this, some are really kind and civil. I am trying to keep myself away from these people as much as possible. I want to create a positive environment and earn support and respect from peers in this community. This site has so much potential and should be turned away from the wrong hands. Any advice you would like to give? THE NEW ImmortalWizard(chat) 18:27, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Not sure why the page is deleted. Here is the reason why it shouldn't-
Sterifab is a well-established product that is used in households, businesses, hospitals, nursing homes and countless other facilities around the country. It has been quoted in dozens of articles in significant publications including:
https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/interior-projects/a24743152/get-rid-of-bedbugs/
https://www.masstransitmag.com/safety-security/article/12399349/the-travel-bug
https://www.pctonline.com/article/one-two-punch/
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=sterifab&ref=nb_sb_noss_2
Like Kleenex, Windex or Woolite, it has long existed in America and is part of the fabric of our daily lives. If you have bed bugs (which is unfortunate) you use Sterifab.

Hello, I am not sure why my article was deleted. I have many references found and I do think they are notable reliable sources. I looked at the category for channellers and many of those names have many less references than the individual that I put up. I was quite proud of the work, I spent a lot of time on it and and want to continue adding valuable content to wiki but a little discouraged. There are tons of notable people that should be on here! I am starting to think my article was targeted by someone that does not like the subject matter. Please help I want to make wiki rock, it's pretty fun once you get into it.

Back in July 2017, you closed the AfD for the subject article as delete. Is there a way I can compare the state of the article when it was deleted to what it is today? The Foundation makes claim to founding 5 elementary schools in Abinta's honor but the schools are one-room with tin roof and walls per the local Dhaka Tribune article. I can't find any sources that verify whether or not the schools are legitimate (accredited?) learning institutions. If they are, it may serve to help the Foundation meet GNG but the pragmatist in me says it may still fail for the reasons it failed in 2017. I would very much appreciate your thoughts.

Mostly looking to copy edit, expand stubs, find sources, that sort of thing. I also just saw a previous post that you are too busy to take on more folks. I'm hoping someone more experienced can look over my work and tell me what I'm doing wrong, especially if it gets rejected and I don't know why! I won't be on a ton...maybe a couple times a week.

Hello
Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.
We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.

Hi Sowhy,
you flagged my article with G11 unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person"" I didn't write this article of this person to promote products or companies, just the opposite simply quote in the article what he has done as a creator of content, leaving reliable sources about the fact, sources that are independent of the subject itself,
in according to General notability guideline this subject is suitable for an article,
i wrote this article respecting the parameters and guidelines of wikipedia from a neutral point of view, which I think there was a misunderstanding, as human beings that we are, it is normal that we make mistakes and premature decisions, so I would like you to re-consider the elimination that you did, you can investigate of this subject (if your you want) or check the sources I've put in the article,

I agree that RFA uses the phrasing:
"In December 2015 the community determined that in general, RfAs that finish between 65 and 75% support are subject to the discretion of bureaucrats (so, therefore, almost all RfAs below 65% will fail)." (emphasis added)
Referense to "general" or "generally" played a material role in the response of many to the Arbcom case proposal. However, I am puzzled about how that word came to be in the guidance.
The RFA itself does not use the word.
How did we get from RFC wording which says:
"We could expand the discretionary range to 65–75%, making it a 10% range, as opposed to our current 5% range (70–75%)."
to the different standard in the RFA guidance?
(FYI, I have been active in Wikipedia, mostly in copyvio work, and not as close to arbcom/rfa issue for the past few months, so wanted to see if I was missing something before jumping into the discussion.)--S Philbrick(Talk) 18:37, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
Addendum - I subsequently learned that the wording in the RFA guidance was changed with this edit. I haven't yet figured out how I think about the Arbcom case (leaning toward saying that's not their function), nor how I feel about the crat chat, but I am troubled that so many people are leaning on the word "generally" when I'm not convinced that's a fair summary of the RFC. @Biblioworm:. (But I can take this discussion elsewhere, if appropriate.)--S Philbrick(Talk) 19:34, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Re [2] I hadn't spotted the link I followed was to the archive rather than the main page. However, my point still stands that discussion at WP:AN#Close/move details why formal closure of this discussion is desired, even though everybody agrees that it cannot result in a change in policy. I don't believe the policy should be changed, but I do believe a formal closure of the discussion would be a benefit to the project. Thryduulf (talk) 15:16, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
A note regarding your closing summary: WP:PAID is the paid-disclosure policy page, whereas the discussion is about limits on paid editing, which is part of Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § Paid editing. (Some people want to extend WP:PAID to cover all aspects of paid editing, but it would be kind of confusing, because the page basically echoes the paid disclosure policy in the Wikimedia terms of use, which contains a specific provision on enacting an alternative policy specifically regarding disclosure. For simplicity it's easier to keep the page to just paid disclosure.) isaacl (talk) 21:27, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
Administrators must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.
|
This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:53, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2019).
the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions; administrators found failing to have adequately done so
will not be resysopped automatically. All current administrators have been notified of this change.
You recently declined a resubmission I have been working on for several months, with the comment: "Please add some sources, don't just fix the text and resubmit." Did you even bother to see there are now eight sources? Don't blindly accuse me of reediting without adding sources without proof, OK?

Hi - I hope you don't mind me reaching out to you. I've read this essay about speedy deleters, and I try to be mindful of it when reviewing pages.

Is or was unfairly for you to have delete or request for deletion of article page Liberation Tour (Mary J. Blige & D'Angleo). Although Christina Aguilera also has a title of the same name for a tour she did. Mary J. Blige and D'Angelo same tour name was a few years before Christina Aguilera same tour name. Industry promotion, media and both the artists promoted their tour as The Liberation Tour (2012-13). For example: Janet Jackson's tour in 2015 is Unbreakable Tour, and other music acts have had the same tour titled name.
Unbreakable Tour From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unbreakable Tour may refer to:
Unbreakable Tour (Backstreet Boys tour) (2008–2009) Unbreakable World Tour (Janet Jackson tour) (2015–2016) Unbreakable World Tour (Scorpions tour) (2004–2006) Unbreakable Tour (Tori Kelly tour) (2016) Unbreakable Tour (Westlife concert tour) (2003)
The name of the same tour, song or album is listed with example: > tour name (artist name) or song name (artist). Would it have been better to list article pages titles for Liberation Tour for these artists as example:
The Liberation Tour (Christina Aguilera) or just Liberation Tour
[[Liberation Tour (Mary J. Blige & D'Angelo) or The Liberation Tour (Mary J. Blige & D'Angleo)
A better solution then to just deletion of Mary J. Blige and D'Angleo Liberation Tour article page.

Thanks for all your work on wikipedia. I submitted an article for "Andrew Donoho" that had unreliable sources. I just wanted to let you know that I fixed the page and added references that are more reliable. I'm sure you have an inbox full of people requesting to be reviewed again (especially from those that have a conflict of interest with the subject, like myself), so I apologize for adding to the workload. Hopefully these links are up to par.

Thanks!

Thank you for the quick reply. Needing references centered around me makes sense. I have made an update that I'm hoping satisfies the need. I also have a few televised interviews, behind the scenes, and blog interviews that I would be happy to add if you think it helps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Andrew_Donoho I hope this isn't coming off as a vanity post. I'm mentioned on a few dozen wiki pages, and I'm hoping to simply find a way to link the mentions with this page, allowing anyone interested in my work to find it more easily.

Hi. I won't be going to Stockholm most unfortunately, because I really can't afford $3,000 just for 5 days in the far north of Europe. I'll leave that trip to the Europeans and the 70-strong WMF junket. But next year Wikimania is right on my doorstep. I hope you will be able to come. I will be making absolutely sure that my friends who are able to come will have a great time. Regards, Chris. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:22, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
I think your declination of CSD on this page might have been an error. It was a recreation of a page that was CSDed not 12 hours ago. The creator is eponymous. They've violated 3RR and blanked entire page, removed tags, removed CSD tags, etc. after this version was created. The stats, not even name could be verified from the only source. May be the CSD was reported with a wrong criterion, please look at the previously deleted page, its history, talk page, history of the current page and contribution history of the creator if you have the time. I have reported the user to Vandalism noticeboard as well. Thanks! Usedtobecool ✉️ ✨ 08:23, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi i was paid a few years ago to write about entity markdabeast1 is there a way we can clear this up ? Elizabethg507 (talk) 08:20, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
Using official records for a statement of fact like the number of votes received is in my opinion better. The BBC article is not a good example either, as it shows localism in the very first line ("despite strong opposition earlier from Britain"), so it's more biased (as in geographically biased) than the Europen Commission communication.

Hi, I saw you doing the cleanup on the Mark White page. The author moved it to Draft to try & avoid my speedy. As I noted here Draft_talk:Mark_White_Jr this is a page that's been repeatedly deleted then recreated by someone who's had multiple sock puppets banned. This is pretty clearly a new one, I'd already reached out to someone else for help opening a new SPI. I don't know if there's a way to speedy a draft under the circumstances? Thanks for your help!

Since the introduction of temporary user rights, it is becoming more usual to accord the New Page Reviewer right on a probationary period of 3 to 6 months in the first instance. This avoids rights removal for inactivity at a later stage and enables a review of their work before according the right on a permanent basis.
Thank you for creating the article. While I have to admit that I am shocked at the lack of English sources, the DLC is absolutely notable as demonstrated. Saw that it is still in "construction", so there are few references I have found that could help you: Digitally Downloaded (reliable per WP:VG/RS and in English, hooray!)

On 13 August 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Elsie Joy Davison, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Elsie Joy Davison was Britain's first female director of an aircraft company and its first woman pilot to die in World War II? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Elsie Joy Davison. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hello SoWhy, Would you do a huge favor for me that you do not mind if you nomimate the user Adam9007 for administrator because he made outstanding contributions especially he had help M32 motorway to get the WP:GA status, but he had focusing mostly on Video game related articles such as Dungeon Keeper. Putting it aside he had a good track record on WP:CSD and WP:VANDALISM which he did in good faith.

Hello :)
I'm Siobhan Wilson and I'm new to Wikipedia. (very new - I joined two hours ago!) I'm 28 and based in London, UK. I love learning new things but am finding all the information on how to edit and clean up articles very overwhelming! I saw that you're looking for adoptees, and are a Wikignome, which seems closely aligned with my own interests :)
Would it be possible to mentored by you please?

I just saw your comments (over a month old) in the AfD discussion page regarding editors nominating frivolous AfDs against articles without doing a proper WP:BEFORE. You properly noted that many of these are high volume editors with extended rights. I am in agreement with you, something should be done. One of the examples you cited turned out to be an AfD I essentially rescued. I'm not blowing my own horn. I simply think that there should be a penalty, a restriction against editors who create ill-founded AfDs. Failing to do a BEFORE, nominating and voting to delete SNOW-KEEPs should count points against an editor. Too many points and their ability to create new AfDs gets restricted. If the points keep coming, they progressively earn more restrictions until their AfD creation and voting rights are terminated.
The odds in an AfD are severely stacked against KEEP. There is an echo chamber of thoughtless DELETE voters who seemingly will vote against everything standing in the AfD column on a given day. It takes far more effort by editors like me to do the research (what should have been done in WP:BEFORE) and to litigate to save an article, than it does to have potentially a swath of content removed if one of us does not notice in time. And ultimately that hurts the users of wikipedia because the content they seek simply is not there. Implementing a system to enforce this is going to be a difficult political effort here. Those powerful editors are already admins, or have admins in their pocket. But consider me an ally as you press for enforcement of WP:BEFORE. And maybe some day we can find enough of us to push through some real enforcement on these abusive editors. Trackinfo (talk) 19:30, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment in the discussion at the Administrators' Noticeboard. I don't want to pester everyone with yet another remark that some won't like and just wanted to tell you that I did not engage in a deletion review as to me it seems much more important than an article on some physician who makes his fortune with questionable practices for celebrities that Wikipedia should follow due processes and draftification is not abused to circumvent deletion discussions as the rules explicitly say it is not acceptable. In general I am concerned that some users treat especially the newer ones in a condescending way and refuse to justify their actions. That way we will frighten off good faith new users and the whole project will further suffer from a lack of new users that are willing to work also on unpleasant tasks like conflicts about niche topics like this one. Then we are just left with those who tend to treat the common good as their private property. Omikroergosum (talk) 13:10, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

His role during WW2 in keeping worship going in Canterbury Cathedral, including a Pathé News film featuring a key address by the then Archbishop, and the Precentor and the choir.
The Litany of Reconciliation written for Coventry Cathedral in 1958 and now used daily in Coventry and around the world.
His ground-breaking liturgies relating to and including the consecration in 1962 of the new Coventry Cathedral designed by Sir Basic Spence.
His recognised contribution to development of liturgy in the Church of England.
His many innovative initiatives with Coventry Cathedral in its early years, including his role in the premier of Benjamin Briton’s Requiem Mass.
Publications of his work by the Royal School of Church Music.

Hello,
I had an admin mark my page for speedy deletion and it was deleted immediately... without a chance to contest it. I am somewhat new to Wikipedia (long time user, new editor/contributor)... so when I visited their talk page, I see that you declined a speedy deletion - and you had a very helpful page to help understand the process - so I thought I would reach out to you directly.
One of the admins deleted a page I created for a musical artist, Gretchen Rhodes. The page was marked as deleted for (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion: self-written vanity page, see WP:YFA WP:COI WP:RS WP:Notability (music)).
Admittedly, I am a fan of Gretchen's - but am not connected to her or her company. The article wasn't wasn't advertising or promotion... nor was it a self-written vanity page. Re-reading the article, I would make two changes - but I hardly think that is reason to delete an entire article.
Any help would be appreciated. Even if it's helping me understand how to make the article better so that it can be posted.
Thanks so much, John --JDMCMAH (talk) 22:47, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Can you help me understand why the Good Omens Book Wikipedia article contains a rather "detailed" section for the Television section? It seems to me the Television section of the book article should be a few lines rather than contain information about the location etc. Shouldn't that be reverted and put in the Good Omens (TV Series). Does it truly matter if some of the same information is in both? I, personally, would not have gone to the book to find anything out about the TV series. I signed below.
