The designation 'Flemish painter' requires nuance. That term was later given to a tradition of painting, but the painter would never have identified himself as Flemish at the time. It is therefore better to talk about a Brabantine painter (or a painter from the Duchy of Brabant) who is considered part of Flemish painting. Therefore the request to adjust this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ramon1974 ( talk • contribs) 11:17, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

It shows that I will agree with anything decided by the judging administrator. Btw, you will be the final winner as the RFD has more opinions supporting you than me.

I've seen that you moved the article about "Lieven L. Litaer" to "Draft:Lieven L.

I especially like your "there is no COI with these edits", "yes there is, see here", "gotcha, now I can block you!". Fram ( talk) 14:02, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
So, involved in a discussion with someone, make an incorrect statement, get corrected, block the other party, and then [11] continue to make a self-righteous answer which doesn't make much sense without the redacted parts. You didn't make any statement about how the edit I linked "appeared", you made some nonsensical distinction between "editing with a COI" and "COI editing", even though e.g. WP:COIEDIT and the remainder of that page treat the terms interchangeably. And now you make some lame attempt at self-justification where I conveniently can't answer any further, and where you have blocked me for an "infraction" of your own making. You are just making things look worse for yourself this way. Fram ( talk) 14:21, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
Fram, calling the blocking administrator "piss-poor form" is a classic mistake to avoid. I'll be honest here, despite what you might think, I don't actually want to see you blocked and I'm happy to get this block reviewed at whatever the most appropriate channel is (AE? An Arbcom case?) But if you attack the blocking administrator because you're in a (admittedly perfectly understandable) bad mood (and I've been blocked in the past, so I totally understand how you feel), you're not going to be able to edit Wikipedia again. (And yes, I found out about this block from that Wikipedia criticism site that some people don't like mentioning directly on here). Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:43, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
in straightforward cases [...] the community has historically endorsed the obvious action of any administrator – even if involved – on the basis that any reasonable administrator would have probably come to the same conclusion.In this case read "oversighter" for "administrator", and there is a very strong consensus among oversighters that suppressing first and discussing second is the correct order, even when the consensus of the discussion is that suppression wasn't required.

Thanks, my initial statement: This case should look at
General discussion of COI vs. outing can happen as well of course, but for me the above is sufficient to keep me busy I guess. Fram ( talk) 10:57, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
@ Dennis Brown:: the issue I highlighted is neither of the two scenarii you outline [12], but a third one, where there is a clear personal and financial interest. I'll not elaborate here, for obvious reasons. Let's just say that if I'm right, the statements by Nihonjoe in User talk:Nihonjoe#D. J. Butler are not truthful. But that will be for Arbcom to determine during the case. Fram ( talk) 11:32, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
@ Maxim:, please ask the oversighters to send you the oversighted material, I assume you wouldn't then claim "As far as the questions as to Nihonjoe's COI edits, I think he has been responsive to the concerns raised in the AN thread. If his responses were wholly inadequate, we would have ended up with a case request much faster." Note that his outright denial of these facts only happened yesterday, after I was blocked: that we didn't end up with a case any sooner was due to a) the time given to Nihonjoe to "come clean", and b) the inappropriate protective actions taken by some, including Primefac. I'm quite baffled that you can look at this case and decide already that Nihonjoe has been responsive, as the oversight has been about cases which were more recent and more egregious. Well, perhaps not more egregious than some things they did 15 years ago or so, but those are only relevant to show that inappropriate COI editing has been his MO for many many years, just like some off-wiki evidence only is used to show that he isn't shy of using his Wikipedia handle elsewhere, and that trying to promote his stuff as if he was uninvolved isn't restricted to enwiki. The COI confession they already made, coupled with the use of his enwiki handle elsewhere, make claims of the "damage" outing in this case might do very theoretical and honestly self-inflicted.
Oh wait, you are an oversighter, so you have seen the oversighted material, and still you believe that their response at User talk:Nihonjoe#D. J. Butler is not only resposive but adequate, and not, er, a bald-faced lie? If you need an explanation of why that is, I'll email you, but it shouldn't be hard to see this for yourself. Fram ( talk) 15:12, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
@ Barkeep49:: the involvement of Primefac in that discussion was more than an attempt to close it and the "so what" (though those would be enough to be considered involved in my view), they replied directly to me [13], to which I answered with the oversighted material, after which they blocked and continued to reply about the actual matter. Basic rule of WP:INVOLVED is that you can't both discuss the merits, the contents, and use the admin tools: either you join the discussion and become an editor without extra powers (for that discussion), or you don't join the discussion and can "clerk" it neutrally. Once Primefac started discussing the merits or lack of provided diffs and whether an edit was COI editing or not (never mind the very weird distinction between "COI editing" and "Editing with a COI" they tried to make), they should have refrained from using the admin tools about that discussion and certainly against someone they were in a discussion with (and who happened to contradict their previous nothing-to-see-here position). Oh, and for the record, I did not repost any oversighted material. Fram ( talk) 17:04, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
Some more general comments. I'm disappointed, though not surprised, that people don't want to discuss the actions of Primefac (using the tools in a discussion they were involved in to protect their own position in that discussion, and to protect the reputation or rights of a colleague at the same time, while making frankly quite ridiculous statements about COI while doing this), or the very heavy-handed block (immediate indef? Acting as this was some random outing, a narrative still maintained by some at the case, and not an "Arbcom and the like have the facts, but proceed to ignore them and close the discussion, while the COI is obvious for all to see" situation where only the continued pressure has lead to anything so far? No, let's give the lowly editor the harshest possible punishment according to the letter of the law, never mind all the circumstances leading to the posting of the material, and let's on the other hand ignore the oversighter protecting the paid editor because we can wikilawyer our way out).
I see claims like "the underlying behavioural problem of editors acting as though a years-old COI (which could have been addressed by an email to Arbcom) was more important than the safety and well-being of another user and their family." which shows the all-too-familiar tendency of people wanting to get their word in about situations they are not fully aware of apparently. It's not a "years-old COI" in the sense that it stopped in 2019 or so, it was ongoing, cross-wiki COI and paid editing, with blatant COI edits going back at least 15 years and continuing until at least last year. Nihonjoe was not trying to hide the connection or in any way concerned about their well-being or that of their family (well, they were concerned about it, by trying to give more exposure to their company, not by trying to hide anything). If someone makes Wikidata items about themselves, their company, employees of their company, products of their company, and the people who have contributed to these products, then it is a bit rich to claim that pointing this out will somehow jeopardise their safety and the problem lies with those exposing the issue, not with the one creating it in the first place. It's not some kid who needs protection from their own stupidity, this is someone who should know the rules the best of all of us, but who has been doing this kind of stuff for 15+ years, and who has been doing the same on other sites as well (reviewing your own products without disclosure? Very, er, professional). I don't get why anyone would want to defend this behaviour or pretend that it's not fully their own responsability. Fram ( talk) 08:34, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
@ Ymblanter:: "I see people clearly saying here that this is paid editing however." The claim is that the most recent cases of COI editing were Nihonjoe editing about the products made by his own company, not a company he just works for (although there seems to be evidence that he also worked for the marketing team of a previous employer, which makes those edits more likely to be considered "paid editing" as well IMO). Fram ( talk) 11:30, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
@ Barkeep49:, the block note says to contact arbcom for an unblock, you say contact oversight... Anyway, the much simpler solution apparently is just to say "It was a lapse of judgement, plain and simple, and getting the right result through the wrong means does not excuse it. I will strive to do better in the future." and instead of an indef you get a "tsk tsk" and nothing else. Even though my intentions were to get people to take some action against this blatant COI / Paid editing which was being ignored by arbcom, while Primefac's intention seemed solely to be to stifle all criticism of a fellow bureaucrat (because, well, we only have 18 burocrats, and then you see one of them using admin tools to defend a second one, and a third one rushing to the talk page of the first to support that action without expressing even the slightest concern about the behaviour of his fellow bureaucrats). It really looks as if ArbCom is doing everything they can to protect other functionaries (with you at least trying something to improve the situation) and to get rid of this with some "see, it wasn't so bad" semblance. The statement by Maxim (hey, another fellow bureaucrat) of 21:21, 29 February 2024 completely ignores that Nihonjoe was already given this opportunity, and lied about it on his talk page and in his case statement ("Since it was nigh on a decade ago, I don't have any way to recall what was going through my mind at the time, but I should have declared my COI at that time. I'm human and I make mistakes, and I try to learn from them. " flies in the face of the continued COI and Paid violations throughout his career and well into 2023, which they at least should have realised after the questions on his talk page. Fram ( talk) 15:01, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
it was a lapse of judgement, plain and simple, and getting the right result through the wrong means does not excuse it. I will strive to do better in the future., but per procedure welcome your thoughts on the appeal as the blocking admin. Barkeep49 ( talk) 15:49, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello there! I saw you tagged the article of Michael Dante with a speedy deletion notice on the article's notability criteria. However, I must specify that approximately half of the sources are indeed database references, mainly due to the presence of the profile stats and accomplishments which is a common thing in wrestling-related articles. If we are talking about the significant work of Dante, you can see features such as links to various other notable articles depicting individual wrestlers, categories and templates pointing titles, tournaments and events patronized by notable promotions (non-orphaned proof). And presumably, the most significant aspect about him would be the tag team of "Summerian Death Squad" he has shared with Tommy End for so long. If the number of database references is the aspect which bothers the most, I can fix that by trying to find better articles to summarize his notable work. But also note that even in this case, titles of various articles may not exactly point out his name, but can contain strong proof of his direct work. I sincerely appreciate the feedback on the article but I should definitely suggest you to remove the notability tag since it's not the case for this respective wrestler. Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards!

A very strange thing to completely move an article to a draft Fram. If you had an issue with the accuracy of the Grammy claim, then mention it to me and I'll look more into it. All of the jazz websites state he has won Grammys. If we find no mention of those albums winning in fact, then we simply remove the claim. The article wasn't intentionally created on Jakob's birthday as a present or something if that was what you were really concerned about, I don't know the man and it's a complete coincidence I was listening to his music this morning and found it was missing. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:50, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Perhaps Ipigott can look into it, given the Danish connection. He is one of the most notable Danish jazz musicians, notability shouldn't be an issue at least.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:52, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Please try to avoid the very close paraphrasing currently in the draft:
"He has recorded with Paul Motian and has recorded and toured with Rosenwinkel, Nasheet Waits, Ben Street, Eddie Gomez and Steve Swallow. He has also toured with numerous African and Cuban artists and Scandinavian pop-artists."
"Dino has recorded with Paul Motian (“Around”,”Dino”), recorded and toured with Kurt Rosenwinkel (“Around”,”Everything will be Allright”), recorded and toured with Nasheet Waits and Ben Street, and Eddie Gomez (“One Kiss too many”, “Lady with a Secret”). [...] he has also toured with many african and Cuban artists and also with some of Scandinavias best-selling Pop-artists."

Hello Fram,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Dear Fram, You have placed a “Notability” template on the page Tolstoy Marg. After that, I have researched further and expanded the article a bit more and enriched it with further references which are ofcourse reliable and belongs to reputed media companies. One or Two references are written by bloggers like “Mayank Austen Soofi” but he is also a very celebrated travel writer whose columns often publishes in many mainstream newspapers regularly. He is best person on travel writing related topics of Delhi.
I have searched entire archives of Jstor and Google News Archives as well, and was able to find only one article related to the history of Tolstoy Marg, which is added as well to the references.
Please let me know, if any further work is needed on this article.

Dear Fram. I saw that you pushed my new article 'History of Smart Cities' back to a draft. I'm sure you have your reasons for this so that's ok. I was wondering whether I could have some advice on this article and it's parent article moving forward.
The reason I created that article was because I have a large amount of notes for the main 'smart city' article. Currently, if I was to move all my research into the main article, it would be too big of an article. Therefore, having discussed this with other people and determined that 'history' is not a priority on the main article, but that the research/topic shouldn't be completely neglected, that it would make sense to make a separate article.
Would you perhaps be able to give me any advice about similar situations and what I could do with the relevant research?
Thank you! Theobrad ( talk) 10:50, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

The designation 'Flemish painter' requires nuance. That term was later given to a tradition of painting, but the painter would never have identified himself as Flemish at the time. It is therefore better to talk about a Brabantine painter (or a painter from the Duchy of Brabant) who is considered part of Flemish painting. Therefore the request to adjust this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ramon1974 ( talk • contribs) 11:17, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

I've seen that you moved the article about "Lieven L. Litaer" to "Draft:Lieven L.

I especially like your "there is no COI with these edits", "yes there is, see here", "gotcha, now I can block you!". Fram ( talk) 14:02, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
So, involved in a discussion with someone, make an incorrect statement, get corrected, block the other party, and then [11] continue to make a self-righteous answer which doesn't make much sense without the redacted parts. You didn't make any statement about how the edit I linked "appeared", you made some nonsensical distinction between "editing with a COI" and "COI editing", even though e.g. WP:COIEDIT and the remainder of that page treat the terms interchangeably. And now you make some lame attempt at self-justification where I conveniently can't answer any further, and where you have blocked me for an "infraction" of your own making. You are just making things look worse for yourself this way. Fram ( talk) 14:21, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
Fram, calling the blocking administrator "piss-poor form" is a classic mistake to avoid. I'll be honest here, despite what you might think, I don't actually want to see you blocked and I'm happy to get this block reviewed at whatever the most appropriate channel is (AE? An Arbcom case?) But if you attack the blocking administrator because you're in a (admittedly perfectly understandable) bad mood (and I've been blocked in the past, so I totally understand how you feel), you're not going to be able to edit Wikipedia again. (And yes, I found out about this block from that Wikipedia criticism site that some people don't like mentioning directly on here). Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:43, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
in straightforward cases [...] the community has historically endorsed the obvious action of any administrator – even if involved – on the basis that any reasonable administrator would have probably come to the same conclusion.In this case read "oversighter" for "administrator", and there is a very strong consensus among oversighters that suppressing first and discussing second is the correct order, even when the consensus of the discussion is that suppression wasn't required.

Thanks, my initial statement: This case should look at
General discussion of COI vs. outing can happen as well of course, but for me the above is sufficient to keep me busy I guess. Fram ( talk) 10:57, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
@ Dennis Brown:: the issue I highlighted is neither of the two scenarii you outline [12], but a third one, where there is a clear personal and financial interest. I'll not elaborate here, for obvious reasons. Let's just say that if I'm right, the statements by Nihonjoe in User talk:Nihonjoe#D. J. Butler are not truthful. But that will be for Arbcom to determine during the case. Fram ( talk) 11:32, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
@ Maxim:, please ask the oversighters to send you the oversighted material, I assume you wouldn't then claim "As far as the questions as to Nihonjoe's COI edits, I think he has been responsive to the concerns raised in the AN thread. If his responses were wholly inadequate, we would have ended up with a case request much faster." Note that his outright denial of these facts only happened yesterday, after I was blocked: that we didn't end up with a case any sooner was due to a) the time given to Nihonjoe to "come clean", and b) the inappropriate protective actions taken by some, including Primefac. I'm quite baffled that you can look at this case and decide already that Nihonjoe has been responsive, as the oversight has been about cases which were more recent and more egregious. Well, perhaps not more egregious than some things they did 15 years ago or so, but those are only relevant to show that inappropriate COI editing has been his MO for many many years, just like some off-wiki evidence only is used to show that he isn't shy of using his Wikipedia handle elsewhere, and that trying to promote his stuff as if he was uninvolved isn't restricted to enwiki. The COI confession they already made, coupled with the use of his enwiki handle elsewhere, make claims of the "damage" outing in this case might do very theoretical and honestly self-inflicted.
Oh wait, you are an oversighter, so you have seen the oversighted material, and still you believe that their response at User talk:Nihonjoe#D. J. Butler is not only resposive but adequate, and not, er, a bald-faced lie? If you need an explanation of why that is, I'll email you, but it shouldn't be hard to see this for yourself. Fram ( talk) 15:12, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
@ Barkeep49:: the involvement of Primefac in that discussion was more than an attempt to close it and the "so what" (though those would be enough to be considered involved in my view), they replied directly to me [13], to which I answered with the oversighted material, after which they blocked and continued to reply about the actual matter. Basic rule of WP:INVOLVED is that you can't both discuss the merits, the contents, and use the admin tools: either you join the discussion and become an editor without extra powers (for that discussion), or you don't join the discussion and can "clerk" it neutrally. Once Primefac started discussing the merits or lack of provided diffs and whether an edit was COI editing or not (never mind the very weird distinction between "COI editing" and "Editing with a COI" they tried to make), they should have refrained from using the admin tools about that discussion and certainly against someone they were in a discussion with (and who happened to contradict their previous nothing-to-see-here position). Oh, and for the record, I did not repost any oversighted material. Fram ( talk) 17:04, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
Some more general comments. I'm disappointed, though not surprised, that people don't want to discuss the actions of Primefac (using the tools in a discussion they were involved in to protect their own position in that discussion, and to protect the reputation or rights of a colleague at the same time, while making frankly quite ridiculous statements about COI while doing this), or the very heavy-handed block (immediate indef? Acting as this was some random outing, a narrative still maintained by some at the case, and not an "Arbcom and the like have the facts, but proceed to ignore them and close the discussion, while the COI is obvious for all to see" situation where only the continued pressure has lead to anything so far? No, let's give the lowly editor the harshest possible punishment according to the letter of the law, never mind all the circumstances leading to the posting of the material, and let's on the other hand ignore the oversighter protecting the paid editor because we can wikilawyer our way out).
I see claims like "the underlying behavioural problem of editors acting as though a years-old COI (which could have been addressed by an email to Arbcom) was more important than the safety and well-being of another user and their family." which shows the all-too-familiar tendency of people wanting to get their word in about situations they are not fully aware of apparently. It's not a "years-old COI" in the sense that it stopped in 2019 or so, it was ongoing, cross-wiki COI and paid editing, with blatant COI edits going back at least 15 years and continuing until at least last year. Nihonjoe was not trying to hide the connection or in any way concerned about their well-being or that of their family (well, they were concerned about it, by trying to give more exposure to their company, not by trying to hide anything). If someone makes Wikidata items about themselves, their company, employees of their company, products of their company, and the people who have contributed to these products, then it is a bit rich to claim that pointing this out will somehow jeopardise their safety and the problem lies with those exposing the issue, not with the one creating it in the first place. It's not some kid who needs protection from their own stupidity, this is someone who should know the rules the best of all of us, but who has been doing this kind of stuff for 15+ years, and who has been doing the same on other sites as well (reviewing your own products without disclosure? Very, er, professional). I don't get why anyone would want to defend this behaviour or pretend that it's not fully their own responsability. Fram ( talk) 08:34, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
@ Ymblanter:: "I see people clearly saying here that this is paid editing however." The claim is that the most recent cases of COI editing were Nihonjoe editing about the products made by his own company, not a company he just works for (although there seems to be evidence that he also worked for the marketing team of a previous employer, which makes those edits more likely to be considered "paid editing" as well IMO). Fram ( talk) 11:30, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
@ Barkeep49:, the block note says to contact arbcom for an unblock, you say contact oversight... Anyway, the much simpler solution apparently is just to say "It was a lapse of judgement, plain and simple, and getting the right result through the wrong means does not excuse it. I will strive to do better in the future." and instead of an indef you get a "tsk tsk" and nothing else. Even though my intentions were to get people to take some action against this blatant COI / Paid editing which was being ignored by arbcom, while Primefac's intention seemed solely to be to stifle all criticism of a fellow bureaucrat (because, well, we only have 18 burocrats, and then you see one of them using admin tools to defend a second one, and a third one rushing to the talk page of the first to support that action without expressing even the slightest concern about the behaviour of his fellow bureaucrats). It really looks as if ArbCom is doing everything they can to protect other functionaries (with you at least trying something to improve the situation) and to get rid of this with some "see, it wasn't so bad" semblance. The statement by Maxim (hey, another fellow bureaucrat) of 21:21, 29 February 2024 completely ignores that Nihonjoe was already given this opportunity, and lied about it on his talk page and in his case statement ("Since it was nigh on a decade ago, I don't have any way to recall what was going through my mind at the time, but I should have declared my COI at that time. I'm human and I make mistakes, and I try to learn from them. " flies in the face of the continued COI and Paid violations throughout his career and well into 2023, which they at least should have realised after the questions on his talk page. Fram ( talk) 15:01, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
it was a lapse of judgement, plain and simple, and getting the right result through the wrong means does not excuse it. I will strive to do better in the future., but per procedure welcome your thoughts on the appeal as the blocking admin. Barkeep49 ( talk) 15:49, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello there! I saw you tagged the article of Michael Dante with a speedy deletion notice on the article's notability criteria. However, I must specify that approximately half of the sources are indeed database references, mainly due to the presence of the profile stats and accomplishments which is a common thing in wrestling-related articles. If we are talking about the significant work of Dante, you can see features such as links to various other notable articles depicting individual wrestlers, categories and templates pointing titles, tournaments and events patronized by notable promotions (non-orphaned proof). And presumably, the most significant aspect about him would be the tag team of "Summerian Death Squad" he has shared with Tommy End for so long. If the number of database references is the aspect which bothers the most, I can fix that by trying to find better articles to summarize his notable work. But also note that even in this case, titles of various articles may not exactly point out his name, but can contain strong proof of his direct work. I sincerely appreciate the feedback on the article but I should definitely suggest you to remove the notability tag since it's not the case for this respective wrestler. Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards!

A very strange thing to completely move an article to a draft Fram. If you had an issue with the accuracy of the Grammy claim, then mention it to me and I'll look more into it. All of the jazz websites state he has won Grammys. If we find no mention of those albums winning in fact, then we simply remove the claim. The article wasn't intentionally created on Jakob's birthday as a present or something if that was what you were really concerned about, I don't know the man and it's a complete coincidence I was listening to his music this morning and found it was missing. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:50, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Perhaps Ipigott can look into it, given the Danish connection. He is one of the most notable Danish jazz musicians, notability shouldn't be an issue at least.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:52, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Please try to avoid the very close paraphrasing currently in the draft:
"He has recorded with Paul Motian and has recorded and toured with Rosenwinkel, Nasheet Waits, Ben Street, Eddie Gomez and Steve Swallow. He has also toured with numerous African and Cuban artists and Scandinavian pop-artists."
"Dino has recorded with Paul Motian (“Around”,”Dino”), recorded and toured with Kurt Rosenwinkel (“Around”,”Everything will be Allright”), recorded and toured with Nasheet Waits and Ben Street, and Eddie Gomez (“One Kiss too many”, “Lady with a Secret”). [...] he has also toured with many african and Cuban artists and also with some of Scandinavias best-selling Pop-artists."

Hello Fram, hope you are doing well.
I have created a company page which is now deleted by wikipedia. Page name was "TechMatter"
I think it was not promotional. TechMatter has a real branding in the industry and i have added the references.
Please let know what should i do now? David onway ( talk) 07:56, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello Fran,
I have attempted to rewrite the page content, aiming to achieve the most natural tone possible. Could you review this? If you feel any specific statement or paragraph needs further revision, please let me know. I would appreciate the opportunity to learn more. Njoy deep ( talk) 13:32, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for the explanation. I looked at the history when I asked whether to accept a dispute, and I wondered what had happened. I wasn't familiar with how the history appears if there has been an oversighting (suppression). Robert McClenon ( talk) 02:02, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
I had typed up a reply to your now struck comment before deciding HJM should probably be the one to answer rather than me but the gist of it was me guessing you hadn't seen Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Conflict_of_interest_management/Evidence#El_C's_request_for_recusal. Since he may or may not see it at all now it's tipped me into replying after all. Barkeep49 ( talk) 07:12, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
You were one of the admins that protected it in 2013. A decade after, an article about the person was created at Romeo Jalosjos Sr. I'm proposing to unprotect Romeo Jalosjos, redirect it to Romeo Jalosjos Sr., then add a hatnote at Romeo Jalosjos Sr. to Romeo Jalosjos Jr. Howard the Duck ( talk) 00:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello Fram,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Hello Fram, since you created the article, I was wondering, did het die at Brussels or did he die in Brussels]? Maybe both are okay? Thank you so much for your time. Lotje ( talk) 13:26, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
Please delete this redirect as CSD G7. It is no longer needed as the original character in the target title has been modified to a colon, therefore eliminating the initial reason for disambiguation. I attempted to do so myself, however since you moved the page you are the author and need to G7 it yourself. SW DG 17:35, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
I see that you are going to be admonished.. this is really disheartening. Hope you are well. Augu Maugu ♨ 13:50, 12 April 2024 (UTC) |

Please stop disrupting my work. dont you see a big "under construction" tag? I have a reason to work in mainspase: to have input from pther wikipedians (and I already have some). - Altenmann >talk 15:56, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Dear Fram, You have placed a “Notability” template on the page Tolstoy Marg. After that, I have researched further and expanded the article a bit more and enriched it with further references which are ofcourse reliable and belongs to reputed media companies. One or Two references are written by bloggers like “Mayank Austen Soofi” but he is also a very celebrated travel writer whose columns often publishes in many mainstream newspapers regularly. He is best person on travel writing related topics of Delhi.
I have searched entire archives of Jstor and Google News Archives as well, and was able to find only one article related to the history of Tolstoy Marg, which is added as well to the references.
Please let me know, if any further work is needed on this article.

Dear Fram. I saw that you pushed my new article 'History of Smart Cities' back to a draft. I'm sure you have your reasons for this so that's ok. I was wondering whether I could have some advice on this article and it's parent article moving forward.
The reason I created that article was because I have a large amount of notes for the main 'smart city' article. Currently, if I was to move all my research into the main article, it would be too big of an article. Therefore, having discussed this with other people and determined that 'history' is not a priority on the main article, but that the research/topic shouldn't be completely neglected, that it would make sense to make a separate article.
Would you perhaps be able to give me any advice about similar situations and what I could do with the relevant research?
Thank you! Theobrad ( talk) 10:50, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
