message from smellymoo

I am having problems with Moonythedwarf on the Falling-sand_game page. They are removing content leaving the page as a stub even though the page has twice been nominated for removal and been declined. Each time I put back the page they remove everything. Granted they are correct and the page is a WIP and needs rewriting, but how is deleting all the sections helpful? what do I do?

Look at history of the page, I keep trying to improve it, and then they come along and remove whole sections without raising it in the talk page.

Help! ~ Smellymoo 12:56, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

message from halliemccarthy

Hi, I think I got a message from you saying I havea COI with the page I was trying to edit? Thi is my first time editing so I apologize if I'm going about this all wrong (I have no idea what I'm doing). I'm an admin in the same department as Hamid Ghandehari so I guess that would be a COI. We jsut wanted to update his page with more recent info (he had a title hcange, new website, etc). How can I make this happen?

Thanks! Halliemccarthy (talk) 16:31, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

@Halliemccarthy Hi, thanks for your message and thanks for being transparent. Given that you have a conflict of interest, you should disclose that on your userpage using {{UserboxCOI}} and not edit directly; instead, please file edit requests using our handy wizard (click "I have a conflict of interest" and go from there). I would also ask you to familiarise yourself with our conflict of interest guidelines and to not blank COI tags from articles when you have a conflict of interest yourself – that should by assessed by an unconnected editor. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Best, Blablubbs|talk 12:57, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Halliemccarthy, that's definitely a start (though after a quick glance, I do want to note you will have to provide sources for all statements you make and I think some of the language is too technical), but such requests should go on the talk page of the article, not on mine – please place it there :). I have nullified the template. Best Blablubbs|talk 20:10, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

• Why it should be changed:

Condensing old info into a simpler format and updating some CV info Halliemccarthy (talk) 19:47, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Account creator granted

After reviewing your request for the "accountcreator" permission, I have enabled the flag on your account. Keep in mind these things:

• The account creator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
• The account creator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the account creator right will result in its removal by an administrator.

If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the account creator right. Happy editing! stwalkerster (talk) 13:23, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Further info: I met User:Quorum816 over at Yousef Al Otaiba (see talk): there was some info there they really, really wanted out. It went twice to the BLP-boards etc. (Heh: how to made sure that that info is permanently in the article ...)

Cheers, and thanks again, Huldra (talk) 23:07, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you so much Huldra, it's much appreciated, as are your efforts in battling tendentious socks! :) Please feel free to drop a note here if you come across any similar accounts (email, IRC and Discord work too, if you prefer). I'll take a look at the page history of the Al Otaiba article later and see if there are more socks involved – VentureKit often collaborates with other, less sophisticated sockfarms. I'll drop a note on the talk page if I find anything interesting. Best wishes, Blablubbs|talk 00:23, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

message from installations2020

Hello, You got my page deleted under the premises that I work for the company I made the page for. I do not understand this but I will remake the page and let you you that there are no transactions being made. Please let me know if I do it incorrectly. Cheers Installations2020 (talk) 18:52, 11 January 2021 (UTC)installations2020

@Installations2020 I tagged your page for deletion not because of your employment status, but because it was a) unambiguously promotional and b) a serious copyright violation. Could you clarify if you have any connection (current or past employment, stock ownership, personal or business relationships etc.) with the company you're writing about? Thanks and best, Blablubbs|talk 20:17, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Israel Canada

Regarding Israel Canada I want to know what specific changes are needed in order to approve this article. After all, this is a major Israeli investment firm, worth billions of dollars, and one of major 125 companies of the Tel Aviv Stock exchange. Maorkap3 (talk) 11:17, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Maorkap3, thanks for your message. I'll also reply here to the things you raised on your talk page, so that we don't split the conversation. As I pointed out in my draftification message, disclosed paid editors should submit any creations through AfC to have them reviewed by someone without a conflict of interest. That wasn't my only reason for draftification though – the article also has problems with regard to policy compliance; it appears promotional both in wording and structure (the list of projects and activities makes it look like a portfolio, for example). My draftification was only based on these two things; I can't speak for notability – I made my call without assessing the sources. My recommendation to you is to give the article another read, reduce the listing of projects, rewrite the lead to sound more neutral and then click the "submit" button to have a reviewer take a look. Regarding your disclosure question: The disclosure is indeed fine (and thanks for complying with our paid editing policies there – many people don't). I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Best, Blablubbs|talk 11:43, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank You for your detailed answer. I have reviewed the Article and made several changes. I kept some of the projects but reduced their description. Hopefully now the article will be approved. Maorkap3 (talk) 12:03, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Gagan Gupta deletion

Hello Blablubbs, Thanks for looking at the page I just translated from the french wikipedia : Gagan Gupta . I am new on the english wikipedia. I saw your speedy deletion request. Could you please help me to improve the page and to neutralize it, or give me some piece of advice? I added as much sources as i could in english from google news articles. Thanks!

User talk:CharlesShirley

Hi, Blablubbs. I thought it was simpler and neater to remove the 3RR section — hope you agree. Just put it back if you like, or I will, if you prefer. Regards, Bishonen | tålk 22:09, 14 January 2021 (UTC).

@Bishonen, I definitely do – I was tempted to do it myself, but didn't since you had already commented. Thanks, and sorry again, I somehow managed to not read the notice before dropping the warning. Best, Blablubbs|talk 22:13, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Cool. Not sure the user in question has read the notice either — they have already violated the ban. Bishonen | tålk 22:21, 14 January 2021 (UTC).

Addiko related

Hello Blablubbs. Thank you for your guidelines. I have included Template Paid on my user page. Hope it is acceptable. Please advise. Kind regards! RinaLina (talk) 16:16, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi RinaLina, and sorry for the late response. The disclosure looks good, thanks for being transparent. Can I ask you to file edit requests to propose changes on the article's talk page from now on, as opposed to editing directly? We have a handy wizard here that makes this easier. Blablubbs|talk 10:53, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! I have proposed changes on the article's talk page (Addiko Bank) and I got the answer to wait as I am the 163rd in line. Is there anything else I can do? Thank you again. RinaLina (talk) 13:51, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Blablubbs. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. Barkeep49 (talk) 01:38, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Styles Hutchins

On 17 January 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Styles Hutchins, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that attorney Styles Hutchins was the first African American to argue a case in a court in Georgia? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Styles Hutchins. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Styles Hutchins), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello, Blablubbs. Please check your email; you've got mail!

MarioGom, thanks. Read and replied. Blablubbs|talk 13:33, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

thanks!

got a message from you regarding citation and COI concerns! i'm following this anarcha monument development and editing pages/authors/artists/persons related to it. i have gone through and cited all of the previously uncited sentences on the page. sometimes the information is already cited, but in a different section or paragraph, so i wasn't sure that i had to cite every sentence... i think/hope it's good now. i will submit for review and see if it's appropriate now. still kind of learning wiki stuff. thanks again. Endlessnapalm (talk) 17:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Endlessnapalm, thanks for your message. Please take care to also fix any adverty language (of which there is a fair bit at the moment, e.g. a social enterprise aimed at bridging the racial divide by providing educational tours to students and tourists in Montgomery, Alabama) and to ensure that the references you provideclearly show that she meets WP:NBIO. The latter means that you show that she as an individual has received in-depth (no passing mentions, listicles or similar) coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources that have some significance of their own (e.g. major national newspapers). Happy editing, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Best wishes, Blablubbs|talk 17:50, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Tomos Roberts (AfD)

Blablubbs... I'm curious to know why you refuse to take Theroadislong to task for accusing me of sock puppetry, when this investigation is still occurring? For the record, I have NOT engaged in this. I am unequivocal as per this! Also, why haven't you admonished Berchanhimez for cursing while conversing with me (on AfD page in question)? These incidents are plainly there for everyone to see, but you've said/done nothing, yet you continually admonish me. I'm simply looking for a modicum of consistency and fairness. Thanks! Ryan (Ryancoke2020 (talk) 23:06, 21 January 2021 (UTC))

Ryancoke2020, I haven't reverted or collapsed the comments of Theroadislong or Berchanhimez because neither of them were making personal attacks or casting aspersions against fellow editors; neither of them engaged in bludgeoning the discussion either. I suggest you drop the stick: Your comments in that discussion have been inappropriate, uncivil, and incompatible with a collaborative environment. This is an encyclopaedia, not a battleground. You have said your piece in the deletion discussion; attacking your fellow editor doesn't strengthen your case. I suggest you step away for a bit and find another page to contribute to; you've made 1800 edits to the article about Tomos Roberts, and I get that it's frustrating to see the page up for deletion, but we have millions of articles to focus on while the discussion plays out. I hope this clarifies the issue. Blablubbs|talk 23:21, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Blablubbs... Indeed, it's very frustrating and disheartening. Is there any way the page is salvaged or have I done irreparable harm? What about a suggestion that it's "too soon" re: notability? This would be a compromise of sorts. I would also pledge to do better going forward. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Ryan (Ryancoke2020 (talk) 23:27, 21 January 2021 (UTC))

@Ryancoke2020, given that it's at AfD, you'll just have to let the discussion play out. The community may opt for draftification if they see fit, but it may well be that the page will be deleted – if the notability aspect changes in the future, it's likely that you can have it refunded. Blablubbs|talk 23:31, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

@Blablubbs... Thank you! I apologize for bothering you, but could you tell me what draftification means? Second, would it benefit me to strike ("strike through") the personal attacks on AfD? Lastly, would it be beneficial to suggest WP:TOOSOON on AfD and see if a compromise can be worked out? Admittedly, I'm new to all of this. It's a bit overwhelming. Thank you, once again. Ryan (Ryancoke2020 (talk) 23:39, 21 January 2021 (UTC))
