Hello Good Time, I really thank you for patiently guiding me to improve my first article. One of the reasons why I chose Shahram Bozorgmehr as my first article is his good condition and record in Iranian music, and compared to Iranian singers who have articles on Wikipedia, I tried to introduce more reliable sources, and again, I did my best.

Hi Kuru,
I see you changed my edits on /info/en/?search=Idris_bin_Abdullah_al-Senussi. For reference, I'm doing my Master's in Libyan History and am very familiar with this topic. When I came across this page, I was literally moved to make a Wiki account to edit this absolutely egregious page. It is so incredibly dishonest, not least because it brushes over so much important information such as the 1995 court case, the Debrett's ruling, or the completely made-up things.
Questions for you:
1. What would be an acceptable source for the 1995 Court Case? Or other articles? Obviously these articles have been scrubbed from the internet so the Forum are the only places to find them. I can easily get these from newspaper archives and upload pictures and would be willing to do so.
2. Why did you return uncited and inaccurate information to the page? "Prince Idris al-Senussi began working on leading the royal family and uniting Libya, as this role was passed onto him by his late father." (This is literally untrue)
"He has also been playing a diplomatic role to help balance the differences between Libya and Africa, the Arab World, Europe, the United States, Latin America and Asia." (What diplomatic role?)
"He returned to Libya on 23 December 2011 with his cousin, Prince Ahmed Zubair Al-Senussi." (He does not live in Libya)
Idris is supported by an Advisory Council (the Senussi royal family allows polygamy, which is "a factor that complicates all claims of royal legitimacy through descent")[2] that heads the Sanussiyyah movement which embraces the majority of Libyan tribes.
(Again, this is entirely untrue and has no citation to prove it)
3. Why did you return clearly propagandistic information to the page?
(It doesn't take much intelligence to see where that is)
4. Why did you delete information sourced from clearly reliable websites (such as the Globe and Mail) which I added the page?
Your answers would be helpful and would materially contribute to my ability to make this page better and more historically accurate.

Thanks for your reply. Is it best practice to simply remove all edits if some are well sourced and some are not? Might you be able to review my previous changes and approve those that were well sourced, instead of blankly deleting all edits? or would you like me to go back and add again those sources which are well sourced. There is also quite a few issues with past unsourced material which I see you elected not to remove. Please advise

Hi Kuru,
I see you have removed my addition to the management consulting article: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Management_consulting&oldid=1071927356
You left a series of suggestions and reminders following the removal of the contribution, the bulk of which seem to be associated with a presumed COI. This is aligned with your explanatory comment for the edit: "this is just marketing-speak for every boutique consulting firm; serious COI problem again".
I have no problem with declaring my relationship with the company to which I referred, but I was hoping I could get further guidance on how I might ensure the contribution is given due consideration and find out if there is more required here before I do so.
For example, I am not sure what it is specifically to which you are referring RE "marketing-speak" and "boutique consulting firm", and I do not understand the critique. If there is a problem with the content, could you please provide some more specific detail about what was said in the contribution that was problematic?
I am not receiving nor will I receive any compensation for the contribution - the addition was included because the 'trends' section corresponded very closely to the adaptations of the company to which I referred. It is also not meant to be promotional, and there was no link to the company website included.
In short, I have assumed that people are able to make contributions to a topic if they have some kind of immediate relationship to that topic so long as that relationship is declared and any risk of bias or ulterior motive etc. is exposed. If I am incorrect in this understanding, then I would greatly appreciate it if you could direct me to where in Wikipedia's policies I can find details about such exclusions.
I am confident that with your assistance I will be able to correct my contribution so that it is fit for purpose.
Cheers,

I made some edits to Landmark Worldwide page. I understand not all of them met guidelines new to editing and need to familiarise myself better.
But the new edits make Landmark seem like a legitimate personal development company,when there are many credible experts such as cult experts Rick Alan Ross who runs the Cult Education website and Mack Moore on Quora who affirm that Landmark is a cult.
Plus countless survivor testimonials on Ross' website, Quora, Reddit and including myself, which show that this is a dangerous harmful organisation whose intention is to turn people into sales reps for their courses.
I was in this cult for five years so I speak from hard won experience and have had to endure verbal abuse, bullying and discrimination because of my disability (ADHD) because of this group which has left me with a lifetime if trauma and PTSD.
I've also had to have calls with people where they have been angry at being harassed by Landmark having put themselves on do not call lists which was just ignored by Landmark. I also had to have a phonecall where a woman told me their female partner did the Forum and was triggered into committing suicide.
I understand you have critical parts in it but overall it is biased and reads like a brochure or propaganda tool for Landmark to recruit more innocent and vulnerable people. Wikipedia has a duty to not legitimise harmful organisations and he upfront in laying out plainly the issues with this training. Albert8879 ( talk) 14:41, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello Kuru. I have a question about your edit on
ThorCon_nuclear_reactor. "rmv non-WP:RS : open wiki / user-generated material" Is this a ban on anything originating on Citizendium?
The statement you deleted was not intended as a reliable source, supporting some questionable point, but just an introductory statement to motivate the reader and set the focus of the article. I can replace that statement with something a little longer: "This reactor is one of many new-generation designs responding to the issues that have held back widespread use of nuclear power, include safety, waste management, weapons proliferation, and cost. This article will address those issues."
As for the material being user-generated, I'm not sure what to do about that. I wrote most of the original article
ThorCon nuclear reactor for Citizendium, but I am not needing it as a reliable source. As I understand it, their Creative Commons licensing is the same as Wikipedia. How do we acknowledge the source, without saying anything about reliability? Is there a template to do this, or is it better to just add a statement, like the article on
Molten Salt Reactors.
"This page is a shortened and simplified version of the Wikipedia article, focused on just the issues raised in Nuclear power reconsidered. See the original for more details and additional information on the history and recent developments in many countries."
I hope there isn't some conflict between Wikipedia and Citizedium that would preclude this kind of cooperation.
Thank you for your attention to this article.

Kuru, my wife and I own the lifestyle blog ChaChingQueen. Yesterday I added, what I thought to be meaningful citations in 10 or so wikipedia pages to how to pages on our site. We were marked as spam and blacklisted. I added the citations in good faith and felt they increased the value of where they were added. I didnt attempt to do anything malicious, and certainly not spammy. I thought I was offering citations that were valid. I am still unsure why they aren't valid. For instance in the vinegar page there is a reference to cleaning silver. We have an entire blog post about cleaning silver using vinegar. That seemed like the perfect place to point a wikipedia user to that wanted to learn how to clean silver with vinegar. Plus I did it as a citation and not even a direct external link.
I also just realized I had created this account awhile ago. Perhaps they were spam because I created the citations without being logged in?
In any case, I meant no harm. Please consider removing me from the spam list and coaching me through what I should have done differently. Surely some of my additions were value add, but none were meant to devalue any page.

Hi Kuru,
Pratik Sen is an established, award winning actor and public figure and the intent of the article was to prepare a wikipedia page for him, not to promote him. Appreciate your feedback that the language came across puffery. I have reframed the article to ensure the point of view is neutral. The article is definitely not promotional or spam. Who can help me reinstate the page so that I may make the necessary edit / amendments and submit the updated article for review. To reiterate, all information collated about Pratik Sen is factual and can be cross verified with multiple sources. Any information that could not be corroborated was never included.

Hi Kuru, your list of content scrapers with handy links to check if they are used in articles is extremely useful – and so is your mirrors list. Thank you! I suggest adding liverampup.com, hollywoodmask.com, and biographyhost.com to the list of scrapers; they are "niche brand websites" of sbwebtechnology per https://sbwebtechnology.com/faqs, and there are already two sbwebtechnology sites (marriedddivorce.com and wikinetworth.com) in your list. Right now there are 68 links to liverampup, 26 links to hollywoodmask, and 9 links to biographyhost in articlespace. From what I can tell they are junk (I mean, seriously!) – there's just something about companies who describe information in terms of "content"...

I recently came across a note you had given to one of your contributors regarding KnowTechie.com. You paint us badly and say we're not a legitimate news source. My name is Kevin, and I'm the founder and EIC. Yes, I work for a PR agency, but under no circumstances do we ever write about our clients. That would be an extreme breach of ethics. You mention something about us being on guest posts lists as if we have any control over that. Look around, you can find the very same thing happening to publishers all over; it's just not us.
You clearly did some research, but somehow you were blinded by the fact that I work in PR, as if that's a bad thing. I work in communications, I have a degree for it, I'm putting it to use.
Labeling us as SEO/PR firm blog masked as a news site is extremely unfair and insulting to the 7-10 journalists (these are folks who also work at SlashGear, The Guardian, Business Insider and countless other places) who work here.
I'm not asking you to reverse any submissions placed on Wikipedia, but I can't just sit around and let someone slander our hard work. Sure, there are bad actors from time to time, but for the most part, we try to keep a tight ship here.
Again, this isn't an attempt to reverse any of your decisions, but mainly hoping to change your perspective. /info/en/?search=User%3AKuru%2Farchive-64#Question_about_using_KnowTechie_as_a_source

It is so incredibly dishonest, not least because it brushes over so much important information such as the 1995 court case, the Debrett's ruling, or the completely made-up things.
Questions for you:
1. What would be an acceptable source for the 1995 Court Case? Or other articles? Obviously these articles have been scrubbed from the internet so the Forum are the only places to find them. I can easily get these from newspaper archives and upload pictures and would be willing to do so.
2. Why did you return uncited and inaccurate information to the page? "Prince Idris al-Senussi began working on leading the royal family and uniting Libya, as this role was passed onto him by his late father." (This is literally untrue)
"He has also been playing a diplomatic role to help balance the differences between Libya and Africa, the Arab World, Europe, the United States, Latin America and Asia." (What diplomatic role?)
"He returned to Libya on 23 December 2011 with his cousin, Prince Ahmed Zubair Al-Senussi." (He does not live in Libya)
Idris is supported by an Advisory Council (the Senussi royal family allows polygamy, which is "a factor that complicates all claims of royal legitimacy through descent")[2] that heads the Sanussiyyah movement which embraces the majority of Libyan tribes.
(Again, this is entirely untrue and has no citation to prove it)
3. Why did you return clearly propagandistic information to the page?
(It doesn't take much intelligence to see where that is)
4. Why did you delete information sourced from clearly reliable websites (such as the Globe and Mail) which I added the page?
Your answers would be helpful and would materially contribute to my ability to make this page better and more historically accurate.

Thanks for your reply. Is it best practice to simply remove all edits if some are well sourced and some are not? Might you be able to review my previous changes and approve those that were well sourced, instead of blankly deleting all edits? or would you like me to go back and add again those sources which are well sourced. There is also quite a few issues with past unsourced material which I see you elected not to remove. Please advise

Thank you for the edit-summary explanation of your removal of ED-Tech Press source from Dubbing (filmmaking). After looking into it, I completely agree with you regarding WP:CIRCULAR.

Hi Kuru,
I see you have removed my addition to the management consulting article: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Management_consulting&oldid=1071927356
You left a series of suggestions and reminders following the removal of the contribution, the bulk of which seem to be associated with a presumed COI. This is aligned with your explanatory comment for the edit: "this is just marketing-speak for every boutique consulting firm; serious COI problem again".
I have no problem with declaring my relationship with the company to which I referred, but I was hoping I could get further guidance on how I might ensure the contribution is given due consideration and find out if there is more required here before I do so.
For example, I am not sure what it is specifically to which you are referring RE "marketing-speak" and "boutique consulting firm", and I do not understand the critique. If there is a problem with the content, could you please provide some more specific detail about what was said in the contribution that was problematic?
I am not receiving nor will I receive any compensation for the contribution - the addition was included because the 'trends' section corresponded very closely to the adaptations of the company to which I referred. It is also not meant to be promotional, and there was no link to the company website included.
In short, I have assumed that people are able to make contributions to a topic if they have some kind of immediate relationship to that topic so long as that relationship is declared and any risk of bias or ulterior motive etc. is exposed. If I am incorrect in this understanding, then I would greatly appreciate it if you could direct me to where in Wikipedia's policies I can find details about such exclusions.
I am confident that with your assistance I will be able to correct my contribution so that it is fit for purpose.
Cheers,

I made some edits to Landmark Worldwide page. I understand not all of them met guidelines new to editing and need to familiarise myself better.
But the new edits make Landmark seem like a legitimate personal development company,when there are many credible experts such as cult experts Rick Alan Ross who runs the Cult Education website and Mack Moore on Quora who affirm that Landmark is a cult.
Plus countless survivor testimonials on Ross' website, Quora, Reddit and including myself, which show that this is a dangerous harmful organisation whose intention is to turn people into sales reps for their courses.
I was in this cult for five years so I speak from hard won experience and have had to endure verbal abuse, bullying and discrimination because of my disability (ADHD) because of this group which has left me with a lifetime if trauma and PTSD.
I've also had to have calls with people where they have been angry at being harassed by Landmark having put themselves on do not call lists which was just ignored by Landmark. I also had to have a phonecall where a woman told me their female partner did the Forum and was triggered into committing suicide.
I understand you have critical parts in it but overall it is biased and reads like a brochure or propaganda tool for Landmark to recruit more innocent and vulnerable people. Wikipedia has a duty to not legitimise harmful organisations and he upfront in laying out plainly the issues with this training. Albert8879 ( talk) 14:41, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

GMA Playground is GMA Network’s digital playing field where kids can learn AND have fun. The whole previous sentence is copied from GMA Playground's Youtube Channel, specifically on their ABOUT page.

Hello Kuru. I have a question about your edit on
ThorCon_nuclear_reactor. "rmv non-WP:RS : open wiki / user-generated material" Is this a ban on anything originating on Citizendium?
The statement you deleted was not intended as a reliable source, supporting some questionable point, but just an introductory statement to motivate the reader and set the focus of the article. I can replace that statement with something a little longer: "This reactor is one of many new-generation designs responding to the issues that have held back widespread use of nuclear power, include safety, waste management, weapons proliferation, and cost. This article will address those issues."
As for the material being user-generated, I'm not sure what to do about that. I wrote most of the original article
ThorCon nuclear reactor for Citizendium, but I am not needing it as a reliable source. As I understand it, their Creative Commons licensing is the same as Wikipedia. How do we acknowledge the source, without saying anything about reliability? Is there a template to do this, or is it better to just add a statement, like the article on
Molten Salt Reactors.
"This page is a shortened and simplified version of the Wikipedia article, focused on just the issues raised in Nuclear power reconsidered. See the original for more details and additional information on the history and recent developments in many countries."
I hope there isn't some conflict between Wikipedia and Citizedium that would preclude this kind of cooperation.
Thank you for your attention to this article.

Kuru, my wife and I own the lifestyle blog ChaChingQueen. Yesterday I added, what I thought to be meaningful citations in 10 or so wikipedia pages to how to pages on our site. We were marked as spam and blacklisted. I added the citations in good faith and felt they increased the value of where they were added. I didnt attempt to do anything malicious, and certainly not spammy. I thought I was offering citations that were valid. I am still unsure why they aren't valid. For instance in the vinegar page there is a reference to cleaning silver. We have an entire blog post about cleaning silver using vinegar. That seemed like the perfect place to point a wikipedia user to that wanted to learn how to clean silver with vinegar. Plus I did it as a citation and not even a direct external link.
I also just realized I had created this account awhile ago. Perhaps they were spam because I created the citations without being logged in?
In any case, I meant no harm. Please consider removing me from the spam list and coaching me through what I should have done differently. Surely some of my additions were value add, but none were meant to devalue any page.

Hi Kuru,
Pratik Sen is an established, award winning actor and public figure and the intent of the article was to prepare a wikipedia page for him, not to promote him. Appreciate your feedback that the language came across puffery. I have reframed the article to ensure the point of view is neutral. The article is definitely not promotional or spam. Who can help me reinstate the page so that I may make the necessary edit / amendments and submit the updated article for review. To reiterate, all information collated about Pratik Sen is factual and can be cross verified with multiple sources. Any information that could not be corroborated was never included.

Hi Kuru, your list of content scrapers with handy links to check if they are used in articles is extremely useful – and so is your mirrors list. Thank you! I suggest adding liverampup.com, hollywoodmask.com, and biographyhost.com to the list of scrapers; they are "niche brand websites" of sbwebtechnology per https://sbwebtechnology.com/faqs, and there are already two sbwebtechnology sites (marriedddivorce.com and wikinetworth.com) in your list. Right now there are 68 links to liverampup, 26 links to hollywoodmask, and 9 links to biographyhost in articlespace. From what I can tell they are junk (I mean, seriously!) – there's just something about companies who describe information in terms of "content"... Anyway, I could of course be wrong about the quality of those three sites, but I don't think I am. Best, -- bonadea contributions talk 13:52, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

I recently came across a note you had given to one of your contributors regarding KnowTechie.com. You paint us badly and say we're not a legitimate news source. My name is Kevin, and I'm the founder and EIC. Yes, I work for a PR agency, but under no circumstances do we ever write about our clients. That would be an extreme breach of ethics. You mention something about us being on guest posts lists as if we have any control over that. Look around, you can find the very same thing happening to publishers all over; it's just not us.
You clearly did some research, but somehow you were blinded by the fact that I work in PR, as if that's a bad thing. I work in communications, I have a degree for it, I'm putting it to use.
Labeling us as SEO/PR firm blog masked as a news site is extremely unfair and insulting to the 7-10 journalists (these are folks who also work at SlashGear, The Guardian, Business Insider and countless other places) who work here.
I'm not asking you to reverse any submissions placed on Wikipedia, but I can't just sit around and let someone slander our hard work. Sure, there are bad actors from time to time, but for the most part, we try to keep a tight ship here.
Again, this isn't an attempt to reverse any of your decisions, but mainly hoping to change your perspective. /info/en/?search=User%3AKuru%2Farchive-64#Question_about_using_KnowTechie_as_a_source
