Hey there, thanks for getting back to me, first of all its not prohibited but discouraged as I read the whole page you've linked. I haven't written myself the story just published it through my account, we asked for a 3rd party author to handle the writing just because of this therefore the views and details of the actual listing are not from me. Lastly, most people vote on keeping the listing and edit it further which is quite funny because initially the submitted version was 2000+ words with many details about the company, early days, staff, business model etc and the wikipedia editors went ahead and ripped it multiple times to get it approved via the IRC channel. Hope that helps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.203.103.65 ( talk) 12:02, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
I went ahead and closed this AFD and cleaned up the mess. Looks like a different user may have tried to create an AFD for that article at exactly the same time or something. Anyway, please try again. Never mind. I see you were just trying to help after the fact --|

Hello! I'd be more than willing to train you. I don't think timezones will matter a huge amount. Take a look at User:Omni_Flames/CVUA/ThePlatypusOfDoom, where I've started a page. Omni Flames let's talk about it 07:02, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi. I appreciate the help, but please use the proper format ("* IP address ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) brief reason for listing (keep it short)"), which makes it much easier for us admins to get to the contributions. Also, IP editors aren't SPAs--they don't have an A, so to speak. Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 20:04, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello,
ThePlatypusofDoom,
I was surprised by your bold confrontation of
JaberEl-Hour on his talk page as I had never run into you before today. I see your account is only three weeks old but
edits like this show quite a depth of knowledge about internal policies of the project. Additionally, you say you "patrol WP:COIN" which is an out-of-the-way place for a new editor to find themselves.
You might be a very smart teenager, a quick study and pick up the finer points of Wikipedia guidelines very easily. But if you did have a previous account that you edited with, it would be best for you to declare it on your on your user page. I, myself, have changed my accounts over time and additionally had a username change. But it's all disclosed on my user page (see
User:Liz) and editors prefer transparency and for folks to be open about ones past editing history.
If I'm off-the-mark, please take this message as a welcome to Wikipedia because you are definitely making your presence known! In the future though, I'd be careful when confronting editors until you've acquired more experience. When one feels strongly about a situation, it can easily veer into biting comments and personal remarks which do not help diffuse a complicated dispute. Take care,
Liz
Read!

When the man ran into the doctor's office saying that he was shrinking, was the doctor a shrink, or would it have been in order for the doctor to send him to a shrink? Robert McClenon ( talk) 21:54, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
While I understand why you said that you would take a particular case to WP:ANI where there are personal attacks and claims of vandalism, I wouldn't give that advice to DRN. At DRN, I see our mission not only as working out content disputes but as providing an alternative to ANI, because ANI is a mess. That is my opinion. (In that particular case, I think that the next step is semi-protection of the article. (By the way, I see that your talk page is semi-protected. I infer that you may have had a problem with insults by unregistered editors.) )
@ Robert McClenon: I don't agree with you that ANI is a mess. It is hard, and can be problematic, but I feel that it's necessary, and solves more problems that it creates. On another note, I haven't had a insult by an unregistered editor, it was just a precaution taken so the editor wouldn't target me. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 22:11, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

My own thought is that the discussion has gone on far too long for the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard, and that it is time for you and the parties to request formal mediation. That is my opinion, and is worth what they paid for it. I would say that, for a first-time moderator, you have been extremely patient. The only criticism that I can see is that maybe you have been too patient. I would also suggest using descriptive headings when introducing breaks, rather than just Break or Arbitrary Break.

I have come back to the dispute resolution process that I initiated to find it has been moderated by you and closed already. I am slow to get back to this - three days - but there seems no urgency on such an important issue for the article, which has been stewing for years now. If we can achieve some agreement or determination on this issue then the article can move on rather than keep going around in circles. There is a statement that there are comments to read about why you closed it so quickly, but I can't find those. Can I get accessed to the closed discussion?

/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Coda_Media Hey there, realize that this comes after the 7 day grace period to contest deletion, but was wanted to speak to you first before filing for the 'deletion review.' I was just a bit confused as to why this Wiki Page was considered promotional and then deleted, even though it seems to follow all the wiki guidelines and citations backing up all the facts? What can be done to fix this problem? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ValerieKipnis ( talk • contribs) 19:13, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
I would suggest that you tell both editors to comment on content, not contributors. One of them is primarily complaining that the other editor is deleting a lot of cruft, that is, commenting on the other editor rather than that the deleted material isn't cruft. I think "Comment on content, not contributors" is a good maxim here. Robert McClenon ( talk) 17:08, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi Platypus. I would advise being slower on the trigger when it comes to applying WP:TNT to articles that come up for discussion on WP:FTN. We generally wait until after a few editors have weighed in on the subject and formed a consensus that the article has so many problems it needs TNTing. Also, I would never TNT an article that's being put up for AfD. In order to evaluate an article for deletion, it's helpful for the community to see it, bad sources and all, rather than judge a cleaned-up version of it. Also opponents of the AfD will often argue that, since the delete votes didn't get a chance to evaluate the pre-TNT version, those votes are misinformed and not valid. Thanks for your efforts to assist Wikipedia, and I hope you'll take this in the helpful spirit it was intended. Best regards - LuckyLouie ( talk) 20:00, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Hey ThePlatypusofDoom! I came here from a talk page I watch (where you recently posted). A small advice about reporting vandalism at AIV. This report ("account is being used only for promotional purposes") wasn't appropriate at all. AIV is used for obvious vandalism. NPOV is a subjective and contentious issue and for violations of NPOV it is preferable to use ANI, particularly when the account is not an SPA. Reporting an user at AIV, who is not indulging in obvious vandalism/spamming, can be interpreted as a personal attack and I have seen it boomerang on the reporter previously. It is best to pause a while and evaluate the situation (examine the user's past history for similar behaviour) before going ahead and reporting. Cheers. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 15:10, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Maybe unwanted advice, but here goes: You need to comment less in Wikipedia space and user talk pages, and do more content work.

I reverted your edit on Stemoc's user page as it went against the consensus that was developed at MFD which was a Snow Keep. Its fine to be bold but not necessarily good form to be bold on another user's user page. Consensus is one of the backbones of the Wikipedia philosophy and as such should be respected. If you disagree with my actions feel free to discuss it with me here, or on my talk page or on IRC if you feel comfortable talking about it there. In the future even if you feel you are doing the right thing editing another user's user page at least do them courtesy of dropping a message at their talk page.
I also feel as though this section from The User Page Policy might be of benefit
In general, it is usual to avoid substantially editing another's user and user talk pages other than where it is likely edits are expected and/or will be helpful. If unsure, ask. If a user asks you not to edit their user pages, it is sensible to respect their request (although a user cannot avoid administrator attention or appropriate project notices and communications by merely demanding their talk page not be posted to).

Hey there, thanks for getting back to me, first of all its not prohibited but discouraged as I read the whole page you've linked. I haven't written myself the story just published it through my account, we asked for a 3rd party author to handle the writing just because of this therefore the views and details of the actual listing are not from me. Lastly, most people vote on keeping the listing and edit it further which is quite funny because initially the submitted version was 2000+ words with many details about the company, early days, staff, business model etc and the wikipedia editors went ahead and ripped it multiple times to get it approved via the IRC channel. Hope that helps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.203.103.65 ( talk) 12:02, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
I went ahead and closed this AFD and cleaned up the mess. Looks like a different user may have tried to create an AFD for that article at exactly the same time or something. Anyway, please try again. Never mind. I see you were just trying to help after the fact --|

Hello! I'd be more than willing to train you. I don't think timezones will matter a huge amount. Take a look at User:Omni_Flames/CVUA/ThePlatypusOfDoom, where I've started a page. Omni Flames let's talk about it 07:02, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi. I appreciate the help, but please use the proper format ("* IP address ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) brief reason for listing (keep it short)"), which makes it much easier for us admins to get to the contributions. Also, IP editors aren't SPAs--they don't have an A, so to speak. Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 20:04, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello,
ThePlatypusofDoom,
I was surprised by your bold confrontation of
JaberEl-Hour on his talk page as I had never run into you before today. I see your account is only three weeks old but
edits like this show quite a depth of knowledge about internal policies of the project. Additionally, you say you "patrol WP:COIN" which is an out-of-the-way place for a new editor to find themselves.
You might be a very smart teenager, a quick study and pick up the finer points of Wikipedia guidelines very easily. But if you did have a previous account that you edited with, it would be best for you to declare it on your on your user page. I, myself, have changed my accounts over time and additionally had a username change. But it's all disclosed on my user page (see
User:Liz) and editors prefer transparency and for folks to be open about ones past editing history.
If I'm off-the-mark, please take this message as a welcome to Wikipedia because you are definitely making your presence known! In the future though, I'd be careful when confronting editors until you've acquired more experience. When one feels strongly about a situation, it can easily veer into biting comments and personal remarks which do not help diffuse a complicated dispute. Take care,
Liz
Read!

When the man ran into the doctor's office saying that he was shrinking, was the doctor a shrink, or would it have been in order for the doctor to send him to a shrink? Robert McClenon ( talk) 21:54, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
While I understand why you said that you would take a particular case to WP:ANI where there are personal attacks and claims of vandalism, I wouldn't give that advice to DRN. At DRN, I see our mission not only as working out content disputes but as providing an alternative to ANI, because ANI is a mess. That is my opinion. (In that particular case, I think that the next step is semi-protection of the article. (By the way, I see that your talk page is semi-protected. I infer that you may have had a problem with insults by unregistered editors.) )
@ Robert McClenon: I don't agree with you that ANI is a mess. It is hard, and can be problematic, but I feel that it's necessary, and solves more problems that it creates. On another note, I haven't had a insult by an unregistered editor, it was just a precaution taken so the editor wouldn't target me. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 22:11, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

My own thought is that the discussion has gone on far too long for the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard, and that it is time for you and the parties to request formal mediation. That is my opinion, and is worth what they paid for it. I would say that, for a first-time moderator, you have been extremely patient. The only criticism that I can see is that maybe you have been too patient. I would also suggest using descriptive headings when introducing breaks, rather than just Break or Arbitrary Break.

I have come back to the dispute resolution process that I initiated to find it has been moderated by you and closed already. I am slow to get back to this - three days - but there seems no urgency on such an important issue for the article, which has been stewing for years now. If we can achieve some agreement or determination on this issue then the article can move on rather than keep going around in circles. There is a statement that there are comments to read about why you closed it so quickly, but I can't find those. Can I get accessed to the closed discussion?

/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Coda_Media Hey there, realize that this comes after the 7 day grace period to contest deletion, but was wanted to speak to you first before filing for the 'deletion review.'

What can be done to fix this problem? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ValerieKipnis ( talk • contribs) 19:13, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
I would suggest that you tell both editors to comment on content, not contributors. One of them is primarily complaining that the other editor is deleting a lot of cruft, that is, commenting on the other editor rather than that the deleted material isn't cruft. I think "Comment on content, not contributors" is a good maxim here. Robert McClenon ( talk) 17:08, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi Platypus. I would advise being slower on the trigger when it comes to applying WP:TNT to articles that come up for discussion on WP:FTN. We generally wait until after a few editors have weighed in on the subject and formed a consensus that the article has so many problems it needs TNTing. Also, I would never TNT an article that's being put up for AfD. In order to evaluate an article for deletion, it's helpful for the community to see it, bad sources and all, rather than judge a cleaned-up version of it. Also opponents of the AfD will often argue that, since the delete votes didn't get a chance to evaluate the pre-TNT version, those votes are misinformed and not valid. Thanks for your efforts to assist Wikipedia, and I hope you'll take this in the helpful spirit it was intended. Best regards - LuckyLouie ( talk) 20:00, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Hey ThePlatypusofDoom! I came here from a talk page I watch (where you recently posted). A small advice about reporting vandalism at AIV. This report ("account is being used only for promotional purposes") wasn't appropriate at all. AIV is used for obvious vandalism. NPOV is a subjective and contentious issue and for violations of NPOV it is preferable to use ANI, particularly when the account is not an SPA. Reporting an user at AIV, who is not indulging in obvious vandalism/spamming, can be interpreted as a personal attack and I have seen it boomerang on the reporter previously. It is best to pause a while and evaluate the situation (examine the user's past history for similar behaviour) before going ahead and reporting. Cheers. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 15:10, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Maybe unwanted advice, but here goes: You need to comment less in Wikipedia space and user talk pages, and do more content work.

I reverted your edit on Stemoc's user page as it went against the consensus that was developed at MFD which was a Snow Keep. Its fine to be bold but not necessarily good form to be bold on another user's user page. Consensus is one of the backbones of the Wikipedia philosophy and as such should be respected. If you disagree with my actions feel free to discuss it with me here, or on my talk page or on IRC if you feel comfortable talking about it there. In the future even if you feel you are doing the right thing editing another user's user page at least do them courtesy of dropping a message at their talk page.
I also feel as though this section from The User Page Policy might be of benefit
In general, it is usual to avoid substantially editing another's user and user talk pages other than where it is likely edits are expected and/or will be helpful. If unsure, ask. If a user asks you not to edit their user pages, it is sensible to respect their request (although a user cannot avoid administrator attention or appropriate project notices and communications by merely demanding their talk page not be posted to).
