In response to Greg Selkoe

Hello,

I appreciate your concern on Greg Selkoe's page, but redirecting it to one of his old businesses is kind of suspicious. He is doing much larger things, and I am personally a fan of what he's doing to change the direction of Esports, and he is making a historical mark on this subject, and believe his page shouldn't be just redirected. I can help clean it up and add newer information, which I agree it should be cleaned up and revised, but I believe his relevance is important and has been an important entrepreneur for many years heading multiple large companies such as Karmaloop, FaZe Clan, and now XSET which I believe is truly making a mark on the history of Esports.

Thanks!

What exactly do you find suspicious? Would you like to disclose your WP:COI? CUPIDICAE💕 18:26, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

It just seems odd that you'd accuse a person's page for promotional, which I've seen you done with other pages here, and then redirect that page to a former business which no longer has ties to that person - a business that could clearly make profit off such a redirect. I think to me, it would make sense to clean up the page as you suggested, as the person is heavily relevant in the Esports and Lifestyle space and communities. His influential capabilities are no different than any other personality on this platform, and if it needs to be cleaned up then it should be cleaned up, but I just find it suspicious you'd redirect a page to something that no longer has ties to him - it makes me think maybe you have been paid to do so or instructed to do so, which I can't prove, but it does seem quite odd you'd do that rather than clean it. Your comments in your edits were quite abrupt and, in my opinion, showed some sort of wrong intent. Gokwol (talk) 18:36, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

It would behoove you to read WP:AGF and also declare your conflict of interest. I don't give two turds about Selkoe or either company and have no interest in anything involving them, I am merely following guidelines and policy of Wikipedia, which don't allow promotion. CUPIDICAE💕 18:38, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
(talk page watcher) Gokwol, you have been extensively and exclusively editing a highly promotional page and off-wiki evidence suggests that you have a connection to the subject, which means you should disclose that and not edit directly. Praxidicae's redirecting of what amounts to blatant spam is not evidence of her being paid. I suggest you either substantiate or retract that allegation, which amounts to a personal attack. Blablubbs|talk 18:42, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Then why don't you constructively change it to make it less promotional so that other contributions can be made by its old contributors? I am simply interested in Selkoe's work and have followed his projects for a long time, and I have made frequent visits to his Wikipedia page before, so to have seen it redirect to a company page that no longer has ties with him was quite odd. Gokwol (talk) 18:41, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Because the only constructive editing that can be done is to redirect it to the notable article since the current iteration is just a rehash of said article and is nothing more than an advertisement. CUPIDICAE💕 18:45, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

V-Label

Hey Praxidicae, please be more accurate and stop just deleting the page! How can you just write: "No this is promotional nonsense". This is offensive and not true. If you have more specific complaint please let me know, all I have written are facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Giovinino (talk • contribs) 11:25, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

See the warning on your talk page. You are not permitted to revert the edits of users more than three times in a 24 hour period. Polyamorph (talk) 12:01, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

@Celestina007, @Polyamorph Could you please tell me what's wrong with what I've written? Please be specific Giovinino (talk) 12:23, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Honestly, I don't see how it satisfies WP:GNG. It was promotional in parts. The section containing a list of mostly red links was unsourced and not particularly useful, hence why I removed it (and you reverted). Polyamorph (talk) 13:07, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Let's leave the list until I can find some sources, ok? Tell me where it is promotional and I will change it! Giovinino (talk) 14:06, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Leave what list? This is not how articles work. You provide sources at creation, not after the fact. CUPIDICAE💕 14:08, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
They're talking about the list of society's which have adopted the label, most of which are red links. Giovinino you need to demonstrate how the article satisfies WP:GNG. thanks. Polyamorph (talk) 14:46, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

I've added some more references and deleted all the red links Giovinino (talk) 14:33, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Praxidicae I've never written the V is a "universal" symbol. Where did you find that? Please, be more constructive, I'm really not interested in advertising the company Giovinino (talk) 19:38, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Why have you prevented my page from being published?

I just published a page called To Catch the Kaidash. Why was it prevented from being published by yourself and how can I resolve this issue? I'd appreciate any help you could give, have a great day :) Luke780 (talk) 15:28, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Donald Frith

Hi Praxidicae. While it was clear that Donald Frith would probably meet WP:NACADEMIC there were issues of NPOV and verifiability from the outset, with the author stating they'd sourced much of the information from family members. I felt that the best chance of sifting what was verifiable and what was not was for the author to backup the claims with citations while it was a draft, hence me draftifying it after the author prematurely moved it to mainspace, bypassing AfC and ignoring a series of declines. As it stands, there are a range of unsourced statements, and most of those that are referenced are sourced from a single obituary in a local paper, no doubt written by a family member and probably with no editorial fact-checking. To me this looks like an attempt to memorialise Frith by someone close to him. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 21:28, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

The standard for AFC is whether or not it has a good chance of surviving AFD. I think that is the case here and despite it's POV problems, which I also noted, he is clearly notable and sources do exist. I have less concern about WP:PROMO since you know, he's dead. Mainspace seemed the better option so that more interested editors (and those with time) can clean it up and improve it. If you feel it should be deleted, you're obviously welcome to AFD it. CUPIDICAE💕 21:30, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
Yes, but, "If what is written in the submission meets the notability guidelines, but the submission lacks references to evidence this, then the underlying issue is inadequate verification and the submission should be declined for that reason." Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 21:35, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
That isn't a hardline. If you think it should be deleted, AFD it. I'm not here to argue with you. I don't often accept at AFC either but this was a clear cut case of notability and should've been accepted. It wasn't egregiously promotional and didn't violate policy. CUPIDICAE💕 21:38, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
Curb Safe Charmer, I noticed this discussion and took interest, at least in part because my wife collects teapots and I often joke that I live in a teapot museum. I have devoted a few hours to improving the article, and now convinced that Frist is notable. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 07:01, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
@Cullen328: That's great! Thank you for the time you've spent. I wasn't expecting to see other mainspace contributors to it so quickly! Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 09:41, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Blood of Ra Series

Hi Praxidicae. Thank you for your feedback about the page I created. After your initial move last week, I updated the page and included additional citations before republishing it. I just saw that you marked the edited page as AFD. It appears that the series meets the Wikipedia:Notability (books) criteria with it appearing in at least two non-trivial published works. (There are many more based on a quick Google/Bing search.) On the deletion discussion page, another editor added and cited the Kirkus review, which is one of the oldest and most respected book reviewers, and I added and cited a link to the London TV interview with the author. That should meet the "two non-trivial published works" standard. I'm sorry, I should have thought of including the Kirkus citation myself, and should have included the London TV one before republishing. Please let me know if you require anything else. Thank you again for your time and contributions to Wikipedia! Vera3636 (talk) 22:42, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, I'm Owlf. I noticed that you recently removed content from Prakash Neupane without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. You've removed national rs sources like Nagarik Daily, Khasokhas, Nepal Daily, Os Nepal and international sources like Vice, Asia Times, Asia Netnews etc without any good reasons although I wont claim kathmandu tribune as relaible source but that doesn't mean other each and every sources are unreliable and your explanation on the talk page is not satisfying. Previously also you removed Vice source but C.fred reverted and added it correctly. Don't remove nepali and international rs news. Owlf 23:17, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Hey, C.Fred what say you, since you were named and I see no edits. ☺️CUPIDICAE💕 02:47, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Peach PRC

Hi there. You moved Peach PRC into draft yesterday, and I understand why, based on information in the article. The article was created, knowing her single “josh” was to debut in the Australian top 50 in the next 24 hours, so it was in preparation for that. I have updated that in the article and it’s now notable. If you could please move it out of draft, that would be super. Thanks so much. Tobyjamesaus (talk) 06:16, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

When I spoke to the Administrator (who protected its main title) concerning the subject, he did not call it an issue in publishing the article. But you did not understand my hard work. I have made the submission by making changes to the draft again, please accept it this time, if it still looks like an advertisement, please try to make changes. I hope for you, please do not disappoint me. Thank you 223.238.210.226 (talk) 08:39, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Issues with actions on James Heppelmann page

Hello Praxidicae,

I am responding here for etiquette so that the discussion is not misinterpreted.

There is an issue with Mrs Snoozy Turtle that I do not understand. I have been cooperative and polite, She is unresponsive after she raises questions and that were satisfactorily answered. The major issue is the competency to judge the notability of Heppelmann rests with understanding advanced manufacturing. I proposed that to her that if the article is to be proposed for deletion, the discussion should include people with this competency. Because there is limited expertise in the US due to globalization, I suggested bilingual editors from the Baden-Württemberg and Bayern states of Germany because advanced manufacturing expertise has not been lost in the area.

I am extremely uncomfortable with the editing process. Especially when one considers the many Apple Employees populating Wikipedia who are considered notable because editors can grasp consumer electronic technology but not advanced manufacturing technology. My interests and my list of Wikipedia articles to write are to inform about the innovation in the transdisciplinary fields of advanced manufacturing, extended reality, and digital healthcare, and the challenges of successful implementation. I work as an engineer and innovation instructor in these fields. I cannot do this work with editors whose understanding of technology is limited so they consider everything they do not understand to be PR.

I will respond to your other questions later today when a break in my work permits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevep2007 (talk • contribs) 13:29, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Deletion of Rajasthan United FC

Hey @Athaenara: You deleted a page of a club in Rajasthan state of India called Rajasthan United FC (RUFC) by saying this Doesn't seem to meet WP:NFOOT or WP:GNG with no real coverage in news sources. But now i have mentioned all links. I didn't create previous article but created new one. I am also updating all the links. Here is brief about page - "Rajasthan United FC are the winners of inaugural season of Rajasthan State Man's League. that is not a promotional page. This page was made so people get to know about historic start of football in rajasthan as Rajasthan Football association started functioning in 2016 and in 2020 they conducted their first league. Winner of this league plays in I-League." Rajasthan United FC are the winners of inaugural season of Rajasthan State Man's League. So i just made a page for them. They have not asked me for any page creation and i'm not linked with them. Some days ago other user had created a deletion request for RUFC logo saying it was copyright violation But then i contacted the RUFC and taken permission to use logo. I know the Wikipedia guidelines and policies. Just let me know where I was wrong so that I can create a draft again, add more content with reliable media links. Moreover, I had added reliable media links too. Looking forward to your guidance so that I can create the article and make Wikipedia more better and informative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vplpoonia (talk • contribs) 09:08, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Deletion of changes to Viorel Oancea

Dear Praxidicae, I was surprised to see that you have deleted all the additional content I have added to the page Viorel Oancea, even though these are fully documented in public and official resources. Might I understand why? One of the comments was "this is not a resume". What exactly is the purpose of Wikipedia according to you? A platform of censorship of information? Please revert my edits and the associated links I have inserted. Thank you. Kind regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilia76 (talk • contribs) 09:05, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) No, Wikipedia is not a platform of censorship of information. It is also not a place to put unsourced information that reads like a resumé. Information on Wikipedia must be supported by cited sources and written from a neutral point of view. Do you have any connection to Viorel Oancea? Giraffer (talk·contribs) 12:10, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Unusual editing behaviour

Please may I have your thoughts on the weird page move sequences illustrated here. I trust your opinions, especially in odd arenas Fiddle Faddle 20:01, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

To which set of moves in particular are you referring? Most of the science moves are legit. I've been looking into this editor lately for potential PGM removal so more specifics would be helpful. Primefac (talk) 13:52, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
Primefac, there appears to be a general sequence of moves where the outcome is to leave this editor named as the creator of the eventual article, depriving the real creator of whatever credit they might feel they enjoy. The move itself is often legit, but the effect of the move is... interesting. I might be mistaken. Fiddle Faddle 14:41, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
Haven't looked into it myself but they even said as much at WP:REFUND at one point. VAXIDICAE💉 14:42, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
Timtrent, Primefac see here. VAXIDICAE💉 14:44, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
Yeah, that's what I thought. They're very much in a Zawl-type mentality of "I must be the first one to create this page", but so far they're just shy of breaking the rules. I've not gone so far as to actually stalk their contribs, but after the AN threads it's tempting... Primefac (talk) 14:54, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
Primefac I dunno, seems pretty disruptive. It's a pattern, at least...VAXIDICAE💉 14:55, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Any SPI would have to be a behavioural analysis, as CU results won't be much good (unless you get someone really familiar with the case, but unfortunately I think they're no longer a CU); too many proxies. Primefac (talk) 16:46, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

  • @Primefac: I had a lengthy bit written up about the behavior and overlap with other socks but accidentally refreshed before filing, but it should be obvious based on their commons uploads and obsession with NJ among other things. Take a look at the interaction overlap tool between Starzoner or whatever ridiculous attempt at vanishing they've used and this confirmed sock and you will see, as well as the fact that they had countless drafts written by them restored. I am feeling pretty disillusioned with English Wikipedia right now and do not have the energy or willingness to really dig into it. And as a note, their vanish should be undone as a matter of policy.

Draft Charin Mendes at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Charin_Mendes

Dear Praxidicae, Thank you for reviewing my page. I have been working on this a lot to make it less like an advertisement. I understand however that there seems to be an issue with reliable sources. Can you please tell me what are these unreliable sources. Most of the articles that I have sourced are author sourced articles from well reputed local publications. Are we not allowed to reference these? Please help me out. Though I have tried my best to reference the facts stated, most of the release dates for the artist's songs I found the dates on the apple music store and I believe Wikipedia does not allow such external links to be sourced therefore I have left it as is and made changes. Can you please check and give me some pointers on what to change. Thanks! Appreciate the help! :) --Tashiya Jayatilaka (talk) 19:07, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

About the deletion of "Eneba" article?

Hello Praxidicae, my article about "Eneba" was deleted for being too promotional and breaking the guidelines. I am a new Wikipedia user, so I am still not clear about which parts of the article were overtly promotional. I do want to improve it though, whether it's improving the language so it's more neutral, finding better sources if the ones provided are considered to be poor or even rewriting the whole thing. Can you provide the exact reasons why the article was deleted and how I can make it better? All help is much appreciated! Video Game Lover E (talk) 08:36, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Curious to know why the article on Allen R. Morris was deleted

Allen R. Morris is a public figure who works in the television and film industry as a producer/director and writer. At the time of deletion, he was serving on the Board of Trustees of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. He is a recipient of a national Emmy Award (among many other awards) and is a member of the Gold Circle (celebrating his more than fifty years in the television industry). The page about his career had been on Wikipedia for more than ten years. In a previous message, you stated "it is obvious that you are being paid." I responded that was not correct; a reply to which no response was ever made. I have worked with Morris' company for many years. The article I submitted was based on his accomplishments in the field and had nothing to do with our personal or professional relationship. What am I missing? Other articles I have submitted are still here. Reginald Duckworth Reginaldduckworth (talk) 21:49, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

It is very clearly explained here which you were notified of on your talk page. VAXIDICAE💉 21:51, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
Reginaldduckworth, It was not hard to determine why it was deleted. the link on your talk page takes oyu to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allen R. Morris where the community discussed it and consensus was reached to delete it.
If you have worked for Morris's company for many years, a continuing state the way you phrase it, then broadly construed, you have received a reward, you are a paid editor if you have edited any article about him, the company or pther staff emmbers, self identified above.

It's funny because it's so obvously sourced by Wikipedia, I can't imagine where else some run of the mill-barely-journalism outlet would find the time to individually source each of these.

Please stop removing entries from the List of fictional asexual characters page

I'm getting a bit tired of this, having to deal with another reviewer who removed entries for a similar reason today. It is very nerve-wracking. Just because an entry does not have a Wikipedia page does NOT mean that it should be removed. That is an absurd criterion for removing pages and has no basis in editing. That is why I reverted your edits. If you want to create pages for The Olivia Experiment, Banner of the Damned, or any others, be my guest, but I have a lot of page ideas in backlog, so I definitely don't have enough time to create pages for every single entry listed. I'll create an entry on the talk page of that article about this at some point. --Historyday01 (talk) 16:17, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Parker Plays title moving

The Parker Plays article was disruptively moved around by another editor to different spaces and then a period added. I am requesting RM/TR to have it placed back in mainspace since it was there for 3 years without complaint. The show was an actual regular show on Disney XD. If you want to start an AFD from there and the result is to delete or draftify then it should be turned into a redirect to Disney XD. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 17:27, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

I am sorry, I was just trying to make a page for Parker himself, but Wiki thought that you Parker Plays page was actually called Parker Coppins. I tried to make it so that I could make my Parker Coppins page, AND keep the name of your page Parker Plays. I must've done something really wrong because I make the article a sub-page. I am a huge noob at this thing. I am very sorry, and I will do everything in my power to try and put it back. Mel Pines (talk) 17:38, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
No worries Mel Pines. These things happen when people are eager to add information about stuff on Wikipedia. For now, since the Parker Plays page is about Parker's show, why not start adding information about him there, and then if other people think that there's enough information about him to make a separate article, we can work from there. Bkissin (talk) 18:06, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
Wait... how am I suppost to do that? I can't find a place to put it. I think it would be easier if I just made a full article on Parker, and publish when I am done. Is that ok? Mel Pines (talk) 18:51, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Regarding new musician article

Hi there!

I hope you are well. This is in regards to an article I published for one of the modern guitar players Roopam Garg. Thank you for reviewing and letting me know of any promotional material I may have inadvertently written for this article. This is one of many musicians I hope to write about, and I seek to improve. I have substantiated all the text in the article with several articles from significant, credible, and reliable sources such as Guitar World Magazine, Louder Sound, Metal Injection, and others. Roopam Garg also has endorsements from several companies such as Abasi Concepts, Fishman Music, and NeuralDSP, and there are several places where he and his work can be found. Nothing about the text seems promotional as of now, as it is all referenced material. It was not intended to bolster his presence, as Roopam Garg already has an impactful following and presence. I understand that Wikipedia is a place for encyclopedic information of significance and importance, and that was the reasoning for writing this article--to expand Wikipedia's knowledgebase of notable musicians.

I have gone ahead and amended it, and have made it as forthright and objective as can be. Please let me know if there are any other ways in which I can improve the article. Thank you so much and have a nice day! Sriramk296 (talk) 20:42, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Hey Praxidace. I'm not sure why the article I made for Everhood was moved to a draft page. The article seems to have passed WP:GNG as it had several sourced reviews from over four publications.

Hello, Praxidcae.
This query relates to a comment in February 2020 on this page here by Mamieisblue (talk · contribs) about ".. my" (since deleted) "Peter Stanton (Ecologist) page". I presume they meant Peter Stanton who is an ecologist.
• Does this mean they are the subject of that BLP? That was their second edit on WP and they did not edit the Stanton BLP until after their post here.
• It seems possible that there is COI there or editing by the subject or associates. Some editors there have edited only that BLP, or a few others, also ecologists. I'd like to see what you think

Page moved to Draft "From Patrice to Lumumba"

Hey Praxidace. I'm not sure why the article I made on the documentary film From Patrice to Lumumba was moved to a draft page. Which sources are you disputing?

There are exactly zero independent reliable sources in your draft. They are all listings and plot summaries. EGGIDICAE🥚 13:34, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Mam! You look like a very strict admin. Yes, I was new and I made a mistake that's why I withdrew that nomination with other nominations too. I am sorry if this was violating any Wikipedia rule. But there are many other editors who withdrew their nominations when they see enough sources. So, I don't think this is a reason to block me. I am new and can make mistakes like other new editors. I am also apologizing for this. I just completed my 12th I hope to edit further here if given tips from you mam. I can really be a great Wikipedia editor. Of course not as like you but still pretty close as much as possible. Remember A student's success depends on his Teacher.

I saw your exchange at WT:V. What is it that convinces you that the UPI pages are just copying from Wikipedia, despite having different items and different wording? WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:03, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
I have already explained no less than 6 times on various talk pages. I’m not doing it again. VAXIDICAE💉 00:43, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
I don't mean to ask you to repeat anything. Would you mind leaving a link to one of those explanations on my talk page? WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:37, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
WhatamIdoing, at the time you asked this question, there was a conversation with @Ponyo: literally directly above this section about UPI. It's explained most simplistically there. I'm not going to dig through all my diffs to explain why an obvious non-RS is not a reliable source. I'm not trying to be mean here but I've been quite busy doing other things and do not feel like expending the time or energy on rehashing something as obvious as why a listicle full of indiscriminate information that follows several of our articles to a T shouldn't be used to source information. And for the record, I never said UPI was unreliable as a whole, though now I have my doubts. No source can ever be considered reliable 100% of the time. It is always context and content specific. EGGIDICAE🥚 12:16, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
It's fun to see your seasonal signatures.
Looking at your comment (because it's so obvously sourced by Wikipedia, I can't imagine where else some run of the mill-barely-journalism outlet would find the time to individually source each of these), I don't find it convincing. Here's why:
"On this day" lists have been a thing for longer than I've been alive (which is to say, a lot longer than Wikipedia has existed). Back in the day, at least in the US, each newspaper kept it own for local events (usually in the form of a paper file folder with clippings from what you ran on this day in each previous year, plus handwritten notes about things to add), and you could subscribe to the wire services to get reminders about national events. Or, if you couldn't afford that, then you were already subscribing to the big paper in your state anyway, and you could see what you missed from theirs, and make a note for next year.
For the "plagiarize Wikipedia model" to be realistic, we'd have to assume that a century-old wire service junked its files because it'd be easier to copy a Wikipedia list than to pull up last year's version of their own work. That seems unlikely to me. Also, the "plagiarize Wikipedia model" doesn't explain how the UPI lists contain information that isn't in the Wikipedia article. I don't find that their lists follow our articles to a T. I find that we include more overall, but they include entries that we don't. WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:36, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
There are plenty of papers that were once reputable that are no longer. UPI has never been a beacon of journalistic integrity but for anyone to believe that an unnamed editor went out and researched hundreds of birth dates per day - which only list names on our x day x year pages and none that exist but aren't there, is silly. If you hear hooves, think horses, not zebras. I stand by my statement because it was also in response to a banned editor who insisted on replacing actual reliable sources with his preferred non-RS. If you think I'm wrong, feel free to revert my removals and I'll go get consensus at WP:RSP but this seems like a silly attempt to wear out good faith editors for no reason. PS:I never said they plagiarized it, I did say it's circular, which is not the same. TAXIDICAE💰 17:41, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
I'm also not inclined to trust a source for it's journalistic integrity or ethics when it is owned by the leaders of a "dangerous cult". Further, this is not the paper it once was and it's quality has greatly declined with the change in ownership. TAXIDICAE💰 18:02, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Let me give you an example. You removed this source as being, according to your intuition, nothing more than a partial copy of the Wikipedia article. The source you removed reports these four births:
  • Thornton Waldo Burgess
  • Kevin Durand
  • Caleb Followill
  • Emma Greenwell
These four people are not mentioned in our article January 14. If it is true that these sources actually "only list names on our x day x year pages", then where did these four names come from? From where I'm sitting, it looks like "not from that Wikipedia page" is the only logical answer. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:26, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
That was one of many, but why do we need to add this dubious UPI source that lacks a byline when most of the ones I removed that Tenebrae placed already had sufficient sourcing. As I said, I'm pretty much done discussing this, if you want to restore the sources, have at it and I will get consensus at WP:RSN on whether their silly "on this day" is reliable and whether UPI is reliable as a whole. I'm not here to continue Tenebrae's battle over BLP sources and I am really not trying to spend all of my free time arguing about this as I think I've made several cogent points that are in line with WP:V, especially considering the ownership of this "paper" and the lack of a byline in what is effectively a listicle.

Hello Praxidicae. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Fergal Harkin, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Substantially different to the previous version and there appear to be new sources too.

Speedy deletion Arnulfo Jose Ramos (AJ “El Kallejero” Ramos)

Hi! I saw that a speedy deletion tag was placed on this page AJ “El Kallejero” Ramos. I would like to know how can I make it better and what information exactly is promotional or not encyclopedic so I can fix it today. I am relatively new on Wikipedia and I am just trying to help create and fix articles about latin Musicians, Media personalities, journalists etc. that are underrepresented on the English Wikipedia with articles that are not written right and so on. I would really like you to let me know how can I fix this article before it is speady deleted.

Thanks --Dominicansinhistory (talk) 00:15, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

This page Arnulfo Jose Ramos is not ambiguously promotional, because... (It is substantially different to the previous version. Please stop requesting speedy deletion on articles arbitrarily after users have put so much to write them. I left a message on your talk page and you did not even answer to me, someone else had to explain to me what was wrong with the article for me to fix it. Not answering a message is really impolite and it shows that you do not really care about other users on Wikipedia except yourself and what you think is right.) --Dominicansinhistory (talk) 18:29, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Dominicansinhistory (talk) 18:32, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

I will continue to request deletion on articles that appear to be promotional. The fact that the text is different is irrelevant as this isn't a WP:G4 tag. Commenting on what you believe my motives to be will get you nowhere, perhaps read the warnings on your own talk page and work on fixing the article. TAXIDICAE💰 18:34, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for answering! It seems like there is nothing that can be done so that this article do not appear promotional to you. I think that instead of looking for what seems or appears promotional, users should read the articles, analyze them and look for the facts and definitely answer the messages on their talk page. I edit and create articles on my free time, and I intent to continue to do it, why? I just like writing and like Wikipedia and before I rewrote the article I read a lot of information that was provided to me, to make sure I follow every detail. If you see anything promotional on the article, I want to kindly ask you to help me and erase it or point it out here so that I can fix it and continue to learn.

Nats literally being referred to as husband by his wife, with her consistently using he/him pronouns for him

Why do you want to pretend that evidence that proves that Nats uses he/him pronouns doesn't exist? When his wife has made multiple videos in which she either refers to him as her husband, uses he/him pronouns when referring to him, or does both in the same video, I'd argue that's a fair indication of which of us is right...

Carolyn Aronson draft


Hello! I would love some specific pointers as to how I can improve the Carolyn Aronson article. I want to add her in order to improve Wikipedia's female representation in its entrepreneurs area, in particular women who are not in tech. She is one of the most successful female entrepreneurs so seemed like a good starting point. I used pages such as Jesse Genet, Cindy Eckert, Emily Weiss and Estée_Lauder_(businesswoman) as models. I would like to learn from you so I can create more pages about female entrepreneurs such as Sabrina Tan and Rea Ann Silva that will hopefully pass muster for inclusion.

Sorry for my actions, if that hurts you. Actually, I'd been planning all these since a couple of months. Actually, I thought that the the relations articles should be based on their geographic locations. According to my geographic knowledge, countries located on left and up of India should have their names before India in their relations with India article, while countries having right and down positions geographically should have the names 'after' India. That was all my target. Thank you. Have a nice day. Utkarsh555 (talk) 14:00, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
