@RHaworth: Something seems to be wrong with the email system. I even tried sending an email to myself and that did not happen either. — Koala Tea Of Mercy (KTOM's Articulations & Invigilations) 14:15, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

  • You don't need ping when you are writing here - I get notified anyway! Before you accuse the system of being in error, please check your preferences to see what email address you have set up. But if there really is some curious quirk peculiar to your email address, then the external link near the top of my user page gives another route to email me. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:54, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Sorry about the ping and thanks for the info. As for my email settings they are correctly set and have been for almost a year. You are not the only user who does not appear to be getting my recent WP emails (although I am getting my watchlist based emails ok ... I guess I need to open a ticket at Phab to see what could be the bottleneck. A few things on my plate this week but I'll resend that BEANS information to you via the route you suggest as soon as I get a chance. Thank you.

  • My email host has trapped several emails as spam within the last month but yours is not among them. Incidentally, what has WP:BEANS got to do with the subject: are you thinking that it says "don't spill the beans about private matters"?

Request undeletion

Hi, on my own request you deleted Category:Articles that show a Medicine navs template. That request was a mistake by me, it is still populated automatically today (though zero hits). Could you restore it as was? -DePiep (talk) 07:09, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

ISSIP

Dear RHaworth, Should I be using a sandbox to develop this? Jim (Spohrer) (talk)

I would like to contest the speedy deletion of International Society of Service Innovation Professionals. The Royal Academy report calls out the need for professional associations that focus on service innovation.

I had just notified others to help build the entry better, but if it not left there for a few weeks - it is hard to build it better. We are not as big as ACM or IEEE, but we have 1000 members, and sponsor academic conferences, give best paper awards, etc. The institutional members are IBM, Cisco, HP, JST (Japan Science and Technology), etc. So the organization is real - and service innovation is an important topic, since the service sector accounts for most of the GPD of nations. Thanks for advice, I am new to this. Thanks, Jim Spohrer Jim (Spohrer) (talk)

User:Obie36 another copyvio

User:Obie36/sandbox/Disney's Zootopia is another copyvio of the same article. All this editor has done so far is to copy the article to their userspace and then submit it to AFC as if it's a new draft. There may be other copies I haven't found yet. — Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 11:59, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

User:Cakulig incorrectly deleted article

Hello there! My draft article Speedway Motors was marked for speedy deletion and then removed from wikipedia last night. The user who marked it, Boomer Vial indicated that it was an unambiguous / direct copy from a .pl top level domain link found here.

As you can see, there is no information at this link. The claimed copyright infringement source was not properly reviewed. My draft article was incorrectly flagged and deleted. There is no copyrighted information or plagiarism, it was an original work. Please reinstate the draft so that I may continue to work it. This is an abuse of the review system and Boomer Vial (talk · contribs) should not be allowed to flag drafts for deletion. — Cakulig (talk) 14:08, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

  • There is no need to be so angry or to condemn the tagger so roundly. Reluctantly restored. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:43, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
Cakulig, you appear to have a conflict of interest in relation to Speedway Motors. Are you aware that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation"? An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. That is an obligation, not an option.
Wikipedia does not tolerate promotion of any kind, whether in draft space or elsewhere. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:51, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Justlettersandnumbers, I am aware of what you describe. I do not receive, or expect to receive compensation for any article I create or modify. I have a background and an interest in automotive history. The subject described in the draft is notable for its preservation of automotive history through the museum it supports. — Cakulig (talk) 21:15, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Boomer Vial, RHaworth is correct, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions; it appeared that the deletion was malicious with the very strangely cited domain. My apologies. Thank you, RHaworth for restoring the draft. — Cakulig (talk) 21:04, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of redirect

Hi, RHaworth. You recently deleted my redirect The america's cup, which redirected to America's Cup. I created the redirect because I had searched for "the america's cup", was not redirected to the correct article, and then had to scroll through search results because the page I was looking for was not near the top of the results. Per WP:R#DELETE I see no relevant reason to delete the redirect, and the reason given (R3. Implausible typos) doesn't seem fitting to me since "The America's Cup" is neither implausible nor a typo. Further, per WP:R#KEEP, the redirect would meet #3 and #5. Also, there is plenty of precedent for redirects that preface the title of the article with "The", such as The Masters, The Ryder Cup, The Indianapolis 500, The United States, and so on. Thanks, PierceG (talk) 15:12, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

A bad penny

Talk:Stephen Maitland-Lewis, which you deleted earlier today, is once again in our midst. If you choose to delete it again it'll be its seventh deletion (of which one was apparently an error). Salt? Regards, thanks for all you do, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:41, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Table of Contents

Hi RHaworth, I have just created a new page with different content but I'm stuck on how to insert table of contents into the article. Could you please help me do that (to insert table of contents into the article) and also correct me if I missed something out? Cheers! Jenny Patranella (talk) 04:06, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

  • Classic cry of an SPA - "I am just going to dump this article on Wikipedia and go away: I don't need to learn wiki markup". Worse, in this case, is the fact that the template you were using has a References section but you could not even manage to copy its style. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:49, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Fake food

I would like to request that the page fake food be speedily deleted for directly taking from other online article for almost the entire thing. — IKnowAlotOfStuff120412 (talk) 15:58, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

NG Dev Team

I could not figure out how to do it in the deletion section. It is easier for me to just contact you here. I could not find the current AFD only the original from 2010. Could you provide me a link to review it? I should be able to provide you enough references for you to consider restoring the page. -- Cube b3 (talk) 06:39, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

  • Someone who has aspirations to be an admin ought to know to provide links when they talk about pages. They would also know that even if a company always shouts its own name, we do not shout on Wikipedia. So NG Dev Team or NeoGeo Development Team would be better than the the shouting 1 or shouting 2 titles that you seem to prefer. There is no more recent AfD discussion than 2010: we do not need one - in five years no-one had added any evidence of notability to the article. Feel free to try again, I recommend doing so via AfC. Text emailed. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:49, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. I have a better idea. I will just make it my sandbox and have you look at it beforehand. -- Cube b3 (talk) 04:10, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Also somebody who is a admin should be more nurturing and less condescending. I am not the perfect Wikipedian but I contribute out of passion. -- Cube b3 (talk) 05:59, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Okay, so I was just playing with stuff and I have another article up for the company. I was just thinking since we have so many of there game pages up. Maybe we could just have an About the Developer section in their first game article. Check it out: NG.Dev.Team. I just kind of got carried away... I didn't want to bring it back up on Wikipedia in this way...Cube b3 (talk) 05:58, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello

Hello Pichpich is just trying to bully me I'm just working on my article I have been bullied by too many people like him an admin even muted my other account please I have been working on a bunch of article but they all get deleted. — IKnowAlotOfStuff120412 (talk) 15:56, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

  • "A bunch of articles"? All I can see is one article which was rightly deleted - Wikipedia is a "chatting website" indeed! So tell me your other user name and I may be able to give more advice. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:49, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

User:United kingdoms my home

Hi, you blocked User:Xray~Vision158 on January 19, 2016, saying that the account was a sock puppet of United kingdoms my home. However, as far as I can tell, you didn't sanction the master or even leave a warning on their Talk page. These two accounts are  Confirmed, but, more important, they are part of a much larger nest of socks (so far, I've found about 11 others). Can you shed some light on what you saw and what you did? It might help in my investigation. Thanks. -- Bbb23 (talk) 00:16, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

  • I spent several minutes looking at this. Even though it is quite recent I cannot recall what caused me to look at the account on Jan 19 nor even what led me to conclude that it was a sock. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:41, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

(smiling) I understand. I have the same problem sometimes. I'm going to move ahead, though, and will probably be blocking a number of accounts. I just didn't want to trample on your toes. Thanks for checking.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:52, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Missing discussion

The discussion relating to the deleted page Category:Service Management: Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2016 January 6#Category:Service Management is missing. Is the text of the discussion available anywhere? — Fustbariclation~enwiki (talk) 14:03, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

  • Just because a page is deleted, is no reason for not linking to it. And even if the link is invalid, it still looks better to create a link. I think it should have been quite easy to to guess what the bad link should have been. But if you could not manage to do so, you could still have used Special:WhatLinksHere/Category:Service Management. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:02, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

London Victory Celebrations of 1946

Dear User:RHaworth. Following your remarks about what I proposed concerning the archives of London Victory Celebrations of 1946, I have double checked everything, and here are the results.

  1. Bad files, only containing duplicates. They could be deleted safely, but are no more harmful due to the rename that excludes them from the "/Archive" family.
    1. Talk:London Victory Celebrations of 1946/BadArchive 2/Archives/ 1
    2. Talk:London Victory Celebrations of 1946/BadArchive 3

    4. Talk:London Victory Celebrations of 1946/BadArchive 4
    5. Talk:London Victory Celebrations of 1946/BadArchives/ 1
  2. Redirects due to renames, etc. They must be deleted, since they are in the "/Archive" family.
    1. Talk:London Victory Celebrations of 1946/Archive 2/Archives/ 1
    2. Talk:London Victory Celebrations of 1946/Archive 3/Archives/ 1
    3. Talk:London Victory Celebrations of 1946/Archive 4
    4. Talk:London Victory Celebrations of 1946/Archives/ 1
  3. The archives, in chronological order. The name of the second one is misleading. Renaming into Archive_1, Archive-checked_2 (the one with the strange looking name), Archive-checked_3 could be useful.

What is your opinion about what to do now ? A simple db-g6 again, or a more formal process ? Thanks for your time. Pldx1 (talk) 08:20, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

  • Good. I am really glad that somebody was willing to take the time to sort out this mess. I have done these actions. Please approve or advise me what more is needed. For the pages that just need deletion, I suggest an hand-written speedy tag: {{db|Mistake by clueless bot. Content is already archived in another place}}. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:02, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for renaming the good ones (just to be sure, their first lines are PART ONE, PART TWO, Archive 3). Now I have tagged the bad ones (old redirects, or already named BadArchives). — Pldx1 (talk) 09:08, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

These indices are automatically rebuild by CB3 (when this bot is running) each time something is archived: each and any archive is read again and everything is processed again and again (poor behavior in term of complexity). Pldx1 (talk) 19:23, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Sudhir Memorial Institute Liluah

I saw that on the 29 January you deleted this article of a secondary school using the rationale of "Article about a company, corporation or organization, which does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject" even though WP:A7 explicitly states it does not apply to educational institutions. Is there any reason this is an exception? — AusLondonder (talk) 03:13, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Inspiration

Hello there RHaworth, I hope you are well. I have made an article of a non-profit organization International Institute of Inspiration Economy (IIIE) which you have deleted it recently saying it is promotional. It is simply similar to the concept of as Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. I hope this information is sufficient.

Creating new page with deleted content

Hello RHaworth This is to bring to your notice that we had previously submitted an article to Wikipedia, titled Sugarfreemart on 29.02.16, but it has been deleted on grounds of carrying promotional content. Since our previous account sugarfreemart (talk · contribs) was blocked, we have created new account so we can reach to you to explain about our content.

We would like to clarify that we have made some edits to the article and it is now ready to be submitted again for your perusal. We must mention that the intention of putting up this article on Wikipedia is not to promote our company at all, rather it is just to grow our presence on the internet and inform our users of what our company is all about, what products we keep and what services we provide. Please take a look at the article and let us know if any change is necessary, and if so, please point out the areas that need to be worked on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kriti b (talk • contribs) 08:13, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Laurenbove's undeletion request

Hi. I am new to this wiki thing as you can tell by my utter newbieness. This is the link: Draft:Mar Jennings I was working on. I have permission to write and attach the photo of Mar Jennings. It is not owned by the Connecticut flower and garden show. They requested it from him. He said we can use the photo too. I know I'll need him to write a letter stating this fact and send it. So, can I get my page back in draft form while I work on bringing it up to snuff? Maybe you could look at it and advise? Thanks for your thoughts. user: laurenbove Laurenbove (talk) 02:48, 10 March 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laurenbove (talk • contribs) 02:42, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

  • Laurenbove, I saw those horrible shouted section headings, looked no further and zapped it. On closer inspection, I see that zapping was totally justifiable. Please read this. And you could not even adapt your website properly: "Mar spend most of my time in there". Kindly have the decency to wait until someone who a) has no COI and b) is willing to write from scratch a non-spammy article in encyclopedic style. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:13, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

According to the guidelines of this website, I believe your assistance was rather rude. While I understand being so very clever and practiced at working on this website, you might be impatient with new people. Perhaps then, save your comments for after a nice cup of tea and you've read this article from Wikipedia. — Laurenbove (talk) 15:24, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Perhaps RHaworth could have been kinder or more helpful, but turning around and suggesting that he "bullied" you is absolutely not the way to go. But enough on that.
I read your draft article, and I strongly recommend you spend some time observing and studying how other Wikipedia articles are written before trying to write one yourself. As it is, your article gives no indication of its notability and cites no sources—two requirements of any biography of a living person. Your writing style also falls below what's expected on Wikipedia; you wouldn't want to embarrass your subject, would you? I suggest you read these pages:
  • WP:NOTABILITY—what you'll need to establish to create an article
  • WP:VERIFY—most facts need inline citations
  • WP:MOS—our Manual of Style, which you are required to follow
  • MOS:BIO—Manual of Style for biographies
Note especially how articles are typically organized (with a lede section and the rest chronologically, e.g., early life before career); note that we avoid excessive capitalization, that we do not use the registered trademark symbol (and why would you, when "realtor" is an ordinary English word?).
Best luck.  Rebbing  talk  16:55, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Rebbing for standing up for your fellow Wiki person. I hope to one day be in that camp. I must clarify, I did not say anyone "cyberbullied" me. In fact I merely quoted from the article which has been shortened to a link now -- so therefore I cannot prove it on this page, but take my word for it. It was part of the "don't be rude article," which I don't think anyone seems to be adhering to when it comes to me the new wikipedia writer. Rudeness is what I was referring to, which is not what Wikipedia wants. Particularly as it discourages me and other new people from being a part of this project. Rather than poking fun and reiterating the mistakes I have made, let me keep my work in my sandbox as I edit it to the standards to which I also would like to live up to. Hence, me reaching out, asking questions and admitting that I'm new. Mea maxima culpa.

Thanks so much for your patience with my attempt at trying something new. I will never use all caps again. I have lots of citations and am learning about how to add them, I know about COI now. Sorry, my mistake. I believe I have a notable topic considering the many similar personalities I see here. Since nobody has all the info yet, as I was merely in a draft mode not final copy final or edit, nobody can determine notability without those facts. I look forward to the Manual of Style that I have just discovered exists. thanks for that. I appreciate the baptism by fire. I learn fastest when people are supportive, though. I have had that here, just not so much on this page. Laurenbove (talk) 18:06, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

You're correct: you didn't accuse anyone of bullying, but you appeared to be suggesting it. Your edit, if you wanted it, is visible in this page's history; but it's also visible above: click "show" on the green bar that says "Excerpt from WP:Don't be rude." I did that: collapsed your comment (without removing a single word, honest!) because copying and pasting a whole page, especially without formatting, made it hard to follow the discussion. (No biggie.)
RHaworth's remarks above didn't sit well with me, but your suggestion that he have "a nice cup of tea" and read about manners wasn't much better. And, as I said, the article you referenced is not Wikipedia policy, and nobody is required to follow it. Our civility policy is WP:CIVIL, and the guideline for dealing with newcomers is WP:BITE ("Do not be hostile toward fellow editors; newcomers in particular. Remember to assume good faith and respond to problematic edits in a clear and polite manner."). But, to be fair, every day, literally hundreds of people come to Wikipedia to create articles about themselves, their employers, their clients, their class projects. Most such promotional articles are written with a slanted point of view, but, even if they were written perfectly, few would be notable enough to belong on Wikipedia. Some of these editors are genuinely interested in learning about Wikipedia and are amenable to help and suggestion, but many are solely here to promote their people or causes and, no matter how much others try to advise them, they'll do nothing but waste everyone's time. It's easy to become cynical after dealing with that kind of problematic behavior time and again.
Anyway, arguing about who was rude to whom won't write any articles. I'll take you at your word that you're genuinely interested in learning the ropes, and I believe you have what you need to get started with your article. As for notability, you're right that you don't have to prove it to me (or anyone) to draft it in your sandbox, and I'd love to be proved wrong about your article. Also, you don't need to leave your draft in your sandbox to keep working on it; it could be anywhere in your userspace, like User:Laurenbove/Drafts/Mar Jennings.
I'll be the first to say Wikipedia has a fairly steep learning curve, and I applaud anyone willing to learn and to contribute. You're welcome to reach out and leave a note on my talk page. Have a nice day!  Rebbing  talk  20:13, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Cigarettes After Sex

Hey, I was wondering if you'd be willing to restore Cigarettes After Sex, even if just to the draftspace. I was in the process of trying to find some sourcing for the article and it looks like there is some out there, but it's mildly hidden since they're painfully indie and niche. They've had a smattering of coverage from First Post, Delo,The El Paso Herald, and Rolling Stone. The El Paso Herald mentions a prior review, although I haven't seen that one yet, and I did see a tiny writeup from Time Out New York. They'd also received some coverage from Noisey, but I'm not sure how usable that is since it's via Vice. There's also stuff like this and this, but it's a bit more questionable.

It's one of those situations where it could kind of go either way if this was taken to AfD, but offhand I think that there's likely enough to pass speedy criteria. I was in the process of adding this but you got to it before I could make a big update with some of the above sources. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:23, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

They're also due to play at The Great Escape Festival, but then that's them and about a hundred other bands from what I can tell. I did also find this minor writeup in Das Erste. It's short, but it looks like it's a super mini review of sorts. I'm going to need someone more fluent in German than I am to really take a look at it to see if it's a review or just a trivial mention. It's kind of inbetween and I'm leaning more towards trivial, though. There's also this, which is in Hebrew. I'm not familiar with the site at all, so I'll have to ask around about that one. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:29, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

I tend to wait a little before removing the speedy tag, partially because so very frequently the article ends up being unsalvageable overall. Thanks! Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:53, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Request to Undo Deletion

Hi RHaworth, I put up an article on Blackstreet Capital Holdings at the end of last week as part of a requirement for a class I'm taking. I realize now that I messed up pretty badly, and you deleted it. Do you mind undoing that deletion and helping to walk me through the ways to improve it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • snowyBrute, I hope you are a student of the class rather than the tutor. I can let you have a copy of your text - read this. Help? Looking at some other Wikipedia articles would be a good idea. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:38, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Consider undeletion

Hi RHaworth, You deleted Draft:The European Union Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR) on 3 March 2016 on the grounds of G12 copyvio. The url mentioned in the log, however, is almost certainly a mirror of Wikipedia. I've encountered the site recently as a false positive result in earwig, and the full url (wiki.polskibreivik.pl/page_Draft:The_European_Union_Strategy_for_the_Baltic_Sea_Region_(EUSBSR).html), with the Wikipedia draft page name embedded in it, strongly suggests that they got the content from us rather than vice versa. Of course that doesn't mean the piece isn't a copyvio of some third page, but would you take another look at it? I'm concerned that the original db-g12 tagger may have been over hasty, and a newbie editor has asked at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk#15:27:57.2C 14 March 2016 review of submission by SoRU2 whether it's possible to rescue the original text. Thanks --Worldbruce (talk) 21:41, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

  • If you read my answer, why are you still editing from an IP address? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:46, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
I think this is inappropriate. Registering is not "a basic matter of Wikipedia etiquette," and the community has repeatedly rejected proposals to require people to register before editing. See also WP:Why create an account? ("You don't need to be registered to contribute . . . ."); WP:BITE. Your "rule" has two other problems: coming back with an account makes it harder, not easier, to verify identity (having the same IP address at two points in time is more probative of identity than a logged-in user merely claiming to have had a previous IP). More fundamentally, Wikipedia policy respects the privacy of accounts' IP addresses, see, e.g., WP:CheckUser § IP information disclosure; insisting that someone register an account and link that account to past IP activity flouts that concern.

Zignal

Hi RHaworth -- Not sure if this is how I'm supposed to comment. Ha! #Newbie. Wanted to "contest speedy deletion" of Zignal Labs page. I would like to create a Wikipedia entry for the company I work at, Zignal Labs. I'm the director of marketing. Okay to create that page? What I created a few months ago (Nov, I think) was supposed to just be a placeholder. Please advise. Thanks! Djwaldow (talk) 16:45, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Kundan Srivastava

Hi RHaworth, last time I was attempting my first article Draft:Kundan Srivastava which you marked for deletion and unfortunately it was Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Kundan Srivastava (2nd nomination). I urge you to give me a chance rewriting it again, would it be possible for you to restore it so that I can have a go? Waiting for reply, Thanks! Techguy91 (talk) 19:36, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

RHaworth I taught but trying to work for my passion, I love to read Wikipedia and believe now his work should cover by Wikipedia because the work done by him covered worldwide. A prominent Indian human rights activist is sounding the alarm: one of his countrymen, who was working in Saudi Arabia, was jailed there after filming a tearful plea in which he complained of harsh working conditions.

INFE Network

Hi there. You recently deleted the article INFE Network. A sock of blocked user Infeby under the name of Artyomsergeev has just recreated the article. The user is becoming highly problematic and has been warned about COI issues already. Wes Mouse ✒ 13:02, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Well that is a blatant lie right there. Evidence stacks against you unfortunately. Infeby was recently blocked due to the username policy. You were advised to create a new account, which you clearly done. But you then recreated the same article that Infeby created shortly after it was speedy deleted. Also you both contested using the same reasons. That is a clear duck-quacking case. Also Infeby and your new account clearly show that you are the same person on the basis of INFE and BY (INFE being the organisation and BY being the country code for Belarus), the INFE President for Belarus ironically has the same name as your new Wikipedia user name. Sorry, but I disagree your claim and have evidently proven that your claim is a lie. Wes Mouse ✒ 14:25, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Olatunde Isaac

I first came across the author of this article, created this month, here. I noticed his first edit with that account, where he admits to being a sock, then found this list of sockpuppets, and this investigation. This AfD discusses fake references, links to nonexisting webpages, to webpages not mentioning the subject, or unrelated Wikipedia articles. "unnotable professor-wannabe with big ego". His reply to me was illuminating. He discusses himself in the third person, and claims it was lack of knowledge of Wikipedia policies that caused the original problems.

Since he opened the current account in June 2014, when he claims you as a mentor, he has done some apparently good work. I say 'apparently' because I spent a long time investigating the case of user:Wifione, a deeply conflicted editor who managed to evade scrutiny for a long time through punctilious observance of appropriate wiki behaviour. I am disturbed by the way he has managed to re-create the article about himself in at least two three four five six previous versions, all deleted, all defended with the use of sock farms. Note the variations in spelling.

A complete list of articles under the current account is here. Peter Damian (talk) 11:54, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Peter Damian, you probably should focus your energy on improving Wikipedia. I'm a bit disturbed by your behavior here on Wikipedia. A quick analysis of your contribution shows that you made 4934 edit counts in your last 12 years on being on Wikipedia. Out of the 4934 edits, only 18% where made to main space, 18.98 to userpage and 31.73 to User talk pages where you move around to comments on editors, engaging in unnecessary arguments. This is odd to me!. Yes, about two years ago, I had a competency issue, trying to write about myself without prior knowledge of what Wikipedia is all about. Then, this led me to create multiple account to write on the same topic with the believe that an article about me will stay. Few days later I knew about WP:Sock Puppetry as a policy and the implication of engaging it, I told RHaworth about the accounts and my new account, Wikicology. RHaworth decided not to block me after I told him that I will continue to contribute constructively. In fact, that was when I know that a subject must pass WP:GNG or other criteria to be included on Wikipedia. Since then, I have been contributing significantly to the project both online and offline which made me to gain media attention in my country, Nigeria. Like I already stated in the "Wikiproject Accuracy" talk page, These are typical examples of what we normally experience when new editors join Wikipedia especially those that aren't the product of Wikipedia Workshops/training. Some of this editors later get it right and they remain a long-term and valuable editors. Wikipedia is complex, and it's often difficult for new editors to understand how the encyclopedia works. They have no idea of the basic policies and guideline, WP:GNG, WP:CV, WP:BLP and what count as WP:RS. Some of them have not even heard of the word "Sock puppetry" and any other related terms. They usually think Wikipedia is like a social media where anything goes. Hence, they get themselves in all manners of troubles and some of them get blocked or Ban. What you pointed out is the oldest history of a now experienced editor who has now grown to be an asset to the community. The then, new editor is now the Manager of Wikipedia Education Program in Nigeria and a major contributor of Nigeria related articles to Wikipedia. In addition to creating over 500 articles on the English wikipedia with GA and bunch of DYK, he has recruited several Wikimedians for the Wikimedia Foundation through series of workshops/training organized by him in Nigeria, a country where there are low number of people contributing to Wikimedia Project. He served as member of the Individual Engagement Grant Committee and was twice a grantee of the WMF. The then, non-notable "Olatunde Isaac" is now notable. I achieve this notability as a result of my tireless contributions to Wikipedia. I will also like to mention that I didn't just jumped into creating the article. I consulted Nikki Maria and MichaelQSchmidt who advised me to write it in my sandbox which I did and MichaelQSchmidt help to move it to mainspace. Peter, I don't know your motive behind this dead issue perhaps you felt I'm against "WikiProject Accuracy" conceptualized by Atsme and you want to embarrass me. If that's what you think, you're totally lost! . I see this an attempt to embarrass me. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 12:52, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Were Nikki Maria and MichaelQSchmidt aware of the history of this article? Peter Damian (talk) 13:59, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Academic career and employment

Note also that the current article lists his occupation (as opposed to his qualification) as biochemist. Yet his Linked in says he is a medical biochemist/researcher at isaacolat biomedical services February 2012 – Present (4 years 2 months). A search on isaacolat biomedical services yields little. 'isaacolat' appears to be a portmanteau of his own name. He says on his Foundation page: "I'm Olatunde Isaac, a Nigerian academic and a medical laboratory scientist". Which university does he work at? Noting that his Academia page states 'Olatunde Olalekan Isaac hasn't uploaded any papers yet'. Are there any papers? Peter Damian (talk) 16:20, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Please, stop intruding into my private life. I won't take this very lightly with you. My volunteer roles here have nothing to do with my private life. I strongly warn you to immediately stop this disruptive behavior. If for any reason, you feel Olatunde Isaac is not a notable topics, please take it to WP:AfD. Again, I warn you to stop intruding into my privacy!!! Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 16:30, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

It's not your private life though. You have written an article which makes various claims about someone called Olatunde Isaac whose occupation is supposed to be biochemist. Do you have any evidence of this occupation? Elsewhere, on your WMF page, you have claimed to be an academic. Are you familiar with the Essjay controversy? Peter Damian (talk) 16:37, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

What is the meaning of this nonsense? Stop intruding into my private life. You have no right whatsoever to request for my personal information!!! This is your final warning!!! Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 16:52, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

This edit is illuminating. It's not lack of knowledge of policy. By this time you clearly understood that socking is against policy. Instead, you pretend that you are someone else, writing "My fellow editors,I thank you all for your impact on wikipedia. I got a notice that am suspected of sockpuppet. I don't see any reason for me to create multiple accounts on wikipedia. And I want to use this medium to tell you that my new account has nothing to do with the suspects; Isaacatm,biomolecules ainakan and any other user or the article about the non-notable researcher." This is not ignorance of policy, it's what we commonly call lying. Peter Damian (talk) 18:00, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

The same thing here, where you pretend that the articles above are all about different people. Peter Damian (talk) 18:03, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

@Peter Damian: Using multiple accounts is not against the rules, and using is almost always pointed out as unnecessary, However, we know many editors that are known to legitimately use multiple accounts. While there are many illegitmate uses, what is often overlooked is that there can be legitimate uses. What is needed here is actual evidence that his uses fall under either legitimate or illegitimate. Schmidt, Michael Q. 21:36, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, what is legitimate about creating a sock farm to repeatedly insert his pathetic autobiography into Wikipedia? And when that fails, create a host of stubs, ingratiate himself with the WMF, then finally re-create the article using this account? What actual burden of proof is required here? And the repeated lying, both in the previous incarnations, and here. Peter Damian (talk) 21:45, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

@Peter Damian: Sadly, many newcomers do similar.. some from of angst.. some from inexperience. For those who accept it as a learning experience and apologize and promise to not repeat those earlier errors in understanding, what is hurt by WP:AGF and allowing a WP:CLEANSTART? Schmidt, Michael Q. 02:12, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

You fail to understand that those accounts were blocked to prevent further disruption and not as a punishment. The accounts were blocked because they were used inappropriately to create article about a non-notable person. When Wikicology was created, it was declared to RHaworth (one of the blocking admin) on his talk where you found it. RHaworth allowed me to continue editing since I had promised not to be involve in such a nonsensical exercise and will always make good contributions on wikipedia. Per my personal information, I'm a volunteer and not a paid Wikimedia Foundation staff. I'm never under any obligation to declare my identity on Wikipedia. Today, I can call myself a "Dog" and tomorrow, I can say I'm "human". It is not a business of any editor. Identity verification is only required if I wish to become a WMF paid staff, WP:Oversighter or WP:CheckUser. However, if I choose to become one, I will send it to WMF through a private channel, and it will be destroyed upon receipt & verification and will not be shared with anyone outside the Wikimedia Foundation. You probably do not know the consequence of what you doing. In case you don't know, what you're doing is a breach of privacy. This is an invasion of privacy. Invasion of the right to privacy can be the basis for a lawsuit for damages against the person or entity violating the right. You are unlawfully intruding into my private life, unauthorized disclosure of my personal information. I strongly request you to immediately put a stop to this. I won't warn you again!!! Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 00:00, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Peter, your use of the term "his pathetic autobiography" is obviously a personal attack. I would kindly ask you to rephrase this, since personal accusations that look down on other Wikipedians are clearly not what this project needs and are not an acceptable discussion culture. Thank you, --Gereon K. (talk) 08:52, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
I was merely echoing Roger Haworth's words, where he says " I apologise for saying this but you really are hopeless. How many times has your pathetic bio stub been deleted? Has it never crossed your mind to look at some of the bios in Wikipedia and copy their style. When you become notable someone with no COI will write about you here. - RHaworth (talk • contribs) 18:57, 1 June 2014 (UTC)" — Peter Damian (talk) 09:51, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
