Drmies, NeilN, Softlavender, TonyBallioni, Cullen328 and friends, I appreciate your thoughts here [1], and will return later, when I have time to respond at greater length. Very best, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 14:04, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi "99" (I believe you are identified as such?), first off, let me say that I hope you do return. From the reactions of some of the very experienced editors here, it appears you have been a very good contributer. However,I must ask, if your privacy is so important to you, why don't you register an account? You are choosing to have your IP very prominently displayed with every. single. edit. you make. Even if there were to be some kind of limitation imposed on the shared-ip template, the simple fact is there are numerous websites that provide geo-locating for IP addresses. As long as you allow people to know your IP, there will always be a way of finding out where you live and what ISP you use at the very least. With an account, no one can learn anything about you, except what you want them to know. It's unfortunate that template caused you such distress, that certainly was not my intent. I believe there is a benefit to this template, as I explained earlier. That said, I can appreciate wanting to protect your privacy, and while I do hope you continue contributing, I also hope you consider registering an account. Not only will it protect your IP address and negate the shared-ip telplate, it should also lead to fewer instances of other the other types of templates you mentioned that appear to have been aggravating for you. Anyway, this is now longer than I originally intended, so I'll just say, in short; I hope you stay and I hope you get an account. Cheers - theWOLFchild 23:38, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi fellow editors, this bio has been subject to promotional, unsourced edits for several years. Since I'm attempting to have less involvement here, maybe someone else can check this out. The most recent additions were, initially, copyright violations, and have been re-posted with quotation marks. Still, are they more than promotional blurbs, and is the critic notable enough that this merits inclusion? After this, the existential question is whether the subject is notable. If so, there may need to be article protection or some user blocks. Drmies, you helped out with this before. Thanks for any additional thoughts, and cheers, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 14:25, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello friends, this is another BLP undergoing recent tribulations, the push and pull of criticism and praise. On the one hand, I'm concerned that there's an interest in adding excessive criticism, particularly with respect to one book by the author; see also The Closing of the Western Mind for same. On the other, a new editor is trying to add passages from his own blog in defense--I've removed these twice now, and believe that there may be copyright infringement issues, too. More eyes are needed, and I suspect Drmies will have a good take on this. Thanks, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 17:31, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
That's some bad writing. Was this a hit job? David Bentley Hart's criticism is really of the man as well as the book; if there is more scope for the man in these critiques, we would have a good reason to merge all this in the biography, but we'd need to be careful lest we write up a hit piece ourselves. Still, these four (named) critics are severely notable academics. Drmies ( talk) 16:32, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
There is a somewhat disturbed individual who has been banned from multiple sites on the web who has devoted his life to an attempt to damage the reputation of Dr. Freeman. This individual operates under multiple pseudonyms. I have deleted his last edit in "Academic Criticism" but honestly you guys really need to do something to lock this page down. This fellow posts wild things wherever he can to attack Charles Freeman. This page should be locked down so he does not get to do this again. -- S. Prager — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stan Prager ( talk • contribs) 19:24, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi,from L.A. Harvey. There is certainly some legitimate concern about this page. I have/had no intention of adding anything but simply making the point to Wikipedia that those who know Charles Freeman's works will know that his Egypt,Greece and Rome is regarded as the leading university textbook on the ancient world (see the OUP website page). Please look at this before you comment further. There is not even a mention of this in this article yet it is what he is known for within US/international scholarship.
The comments under Academic Criticism are not up to Wikipedia standards as it is not even clear to what they refer, a single book or the whole of his work. As they stand they are meaningless. You cannot believe that they offer an adequate reflection of a historian's work over twenty years. As even the briefest online search will show Freeman has a large academic following and I am not surprised that anyone who knows his work would expect better from Wikipedia. Locking down this page will simply perpetuate its inadequacies. Why not find someone who is prepared to make an INDEPENDENT assessment of his academic career under this heading. It is not difficult to find the sources for Charles Freeman's many books online. As I have no further interest than one of legitimate academic concern about an entry which is clearly not up to the standards to which you aspire and unfair to a respected academic, I can now withdraw.If my deletion at least brought an important issue to your attention, I have succeeded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by L.A.Harvey ( talk • contribs) 19:17, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
From L.A. Harvey Agree but the 'academic criticism' is meaningless as it is not clear what the 'myths' Freeman is supposedly perpetuating are- or are they simply academic arguments with which the cited authors disagree?. I also assume that en historiker is not an English speaker as 'the regular public readers' sounds like a Google translation from another more formal language- I have never heard such a phrase in English - what does it mean? Most of us are regular readers!!, some of us read in public too. I have no idea what 'merely by virtue of endless repetition 'means (especially as the 'myth' to which 'the endless repetition ' refers is not described). As this is an entry on a biography of an author who has a large number of works, it is also not clear whether these comments refer to the whole of his works- unlikely as he has tackled many different subjects. I am even more convinced that I was right to delete this as it is not up to the standards of clarity that Wikipedia normally uses and the text adds nothing that is comprehensible. The fact that one can trace the citations means nothing if the original text is as muddled as this one.I can't see the point of allowing outsiders to edit if they can't take out text which is impossible to understand. Do you understand what he is talking about? A normal Wikipedia entry starts with an overview, as here. It then fleshes out the overview in the main body of the article. Yet there is nothing on the last THIRTY years of Freeman's working life when it is clear from his extensive list of publications that he has had a full academic career including the Fellowship of a Royal Society, consultancy work, leading tours, etc,etc. Luckily we do not need Wikipedia in this case as I have found an extensive biography on the Yale University Press website. I am sure that those who want to know about him will access that as it comes up high on a search engine and has the advantage of including extensive reviews, many by established academics, of his two Yale books.
Sorry for reverting your edit, I didn't read the whole diff and thought that you were simply adding vandalism. [ Username Needed 14:25, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
A junk article, composed of nothing but original research. If I eviscerate it, it will surely prompt an edit war with the 'owner'. Any thoughts? 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 16:40, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi everyone. I am a little green with the Wiki system, and struggling to navigate into conversation mode. I hope this place is the appropriate forum for discussion :0
I have a lot of experience with, and enthusiasm for, INWO. I have tried to conform to the wiki guidelines, including the one about not uploading original research. I have therefore attempted to provide nothing but verifiable information from official sources in good faith. It is a little difficult, given that INWO is A) a dead game (out of print, no likelihood of continuation), hence a little obscure in the verifiable sources department, and B) one of the first card games to "grow up" online ie. whose sources were mainly online in the first place.
Nevertheless:
All information I have provided can be verified via the sources which are listed in both the General Reference and Reference sections of the INWO wiki entry. I have also access to a copy of The INWO Book, have read copies of files downloaded from the official game site at sjgames.com/inwo, including the latest rule book, card lists etc. I have a copy of Deluxe INWO, and most of the Assassins series. Information about the German cards come from a forum discussion at boardgamegeek.com which lists the cards in German - I had to translate those, and discovered that the 38 new ones listed at the boardgamegeek forum are also explained in detail at the official website sjgames.com, while the rest of the German cards were hilarious translations of INWO cards familiar to English speakers.
The entries that were removed for being "promotional" were an attempt to provide more accurate information to interested parties in light of fraudulent and predatory trade practices I have witnessed online with regards to this out-of-print game. I was trying to build upon the inaccurate efforts of a previous contributor who deemed it important enough to make a wiki entry about it. Likewise the entries that smelled of manuals were my attempt to improve upon the interesting yet inaccurate contributions of a previous contributor.
And finally, the controversy stuff reflects a reality of kooky disreputable publications attributing conspiracy prophecies to INWO haha - you will never find anything about this from a reputable source unfortunately. Given the topic of the game, it does tend to attract a rather kooky sector of the community. Once again, I was attempting to add to the efforts of a previous contributor.
The INWO Book (1995) Steve Jackson Games Incorporated. [1] Illuminati: New World Order, Official Website. [2] sjgames.com/INWO German [3] World Domination Handbook v1.2 [4] Boardgamegeek-INWO [5] Boardgamegeek-German INWO Forum [6]
I would really appreciate it if my contributions were restored, however I appreciate your comments and will make a better effort to tone down that which seems promotional.
I apologise for the delay in my response. As previously stated, I am a little new to wiki contributing. I hope the information provided is adequate. I have no interest in ownership of a wiki page, let alone war for such ownership lol. Just trying to help sorry.

For this. Darylgolden( talk) Ping when replying 05:06, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
You stated /info/en/?search=User_talk:Quaerens-veritatem?markasread=123466235#Peachtree_Corners,_Georgia: “Please stop adding promotional content for non notable entities to the article. It's spam. Thank you, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 02:27, 15 December 2017 (UTC)”
Although I thought the addition of a film studio was on the edge of being notable, I think a relatively small city like Peachtree Corners having a film studio was notable under the circumstances, specially since Peachtree Corners is not a place that usually has such a film studio. To add to notability I added to /* Economy */ the link, film studio. Per Wikipedia standards: “A reversion is a complete rejection of the work of another editor and if the reversion is not adequately supported then the reverted editor may find it difficult to assume good faith. This is one of the most common causes of an edit war. A substantive explanation also promotes consensus by alerting the reverted editor to the problem with the original edit. The reverted editor may then be able to revise the edit to correct the perceived problem. The result will be an improved article, a more knowledgeable editor and greater harmony.” How are you an arbiter on notability and spam? Are you an administrator? How is it “spam?” If you could give a Wikipedia citation directly on point? If we can’t come to agreement, let’s arbitrate this matter.

I will take your explanation, and thank you for your information. Two questions:
You say that “I've removed a number of non-notable entities you added to the article, which have read as promotional.” This is the first reversion I recall on the Peachtree Corners article. Were there others I have forgotten?
Also, could you tell me where I had a copyright violation, the words, etc. as I only wrote “as well as a film studio.” Please assist me. User:Quaerens-veritatem ( talk) 04:45, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

( /info/en/?search=Francisco_Mari%C3%B1o_y_Soler) This page was vandalized again by SIREDEJOINVILLE in spite of not being a Wikipedia authorized user, and numerous repeated calls for attention from @Maragm , @Bgwhite and others. As far as i know he was removed or banned from Wikipedia, and yet he manages to keep coming back, unlogged, and makes preposterous changes to the page. Sure, he started it and then abandoned it, and only after Wikipedia deleted the Spanish version of the page and theoretically, kicked him out, i started to take care of it in the English version, making sure the sources are compliant, etc, etc, but he keeps butting in and adding the shadiest tall stories about this forefather of the independence in Colombia. I have stored a copy for republication after Wikipedia makes sure this Sirdejoinville is properly and definitely banned from editing the page with falsehoods.

This page was created with historical proposse and the author has tried to conserve the page with edition rulers wikipedia has; nevertheless, Bisnieto user changes things according his own interest. It seems to be Bisnieto user is a descendant of Francisco Mariño y Soler and Ana María Pinzón Currea who were his first wife. Bisnieto interest possibly is related with a theme of nobility and his inheritance by wives order and other things; for this reason, creator of page, ask for librarian help in front to prevent the page be vandalized by Bisnieto user again and again and again.
Mr. Francisco Mariño y Soler was a real and historical person and all dates wrote there are supported by a history investigation. I shall thank the help a wikipedia librarian.

I don't know your name or anything, but recently I've been referring to you as "Bob2" (well, "Bob") in my mind - because your IP in the second-most-right block group is B0B2, and that's how I recognize you around the wiki from all the other IPv6 addresses. So hi, Bob! Thanks for being here for the project and for your professional temperament and responses to conflict, and for you knowledge and dedication here. I award you this special barnstar. It's chocolate-filled, so enjoy ;-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 01:03, 29 December 2017 (UTC) |
Talk page stalkers, please keep an eye on this. I've removed some nasty BLP trash, and it tends to come back. Thanks, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 06:46, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
Another one to watch. Two related COI accounts, each professing to either be the subject or editing on his behalf, would like to remove sourced content. I've requested page protection and tagged the article for COI. More eyes will be helpful. Thanks, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 21:49, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
And another autobiography, most of which can be cut. I don't know where to start; it's a vanity resume from start to end. I suppose the popular New Year resolution around here is to take control of your biography. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 23:17, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
The trouble with the Jones bio, Melcous, is what so often happens when someone writes here about themselves. It may be true, but almost none of it is sourced, which welcomes the removal of most everything. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 00:21, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Serial Number 54129, Drmies, NeilN and any other friends eavesdropping, some advice will be appreciated re Susan Spaid ( talk · contribs). I've at least temporarily slowed her down at Lynn Zelevansky and Carole Ann Klonarides, both of whom appear to be colleagues or friends. Both articles could use further attention, but the larger problem is that nearly every article she's created is similarly compromised by promotional and unsourced content, and the bios especially are well-written resumes (I've also done some pruning to Sue Spaid, which appears to have been written by friends and associates of the subject). I'll go through a few of them and do some easy/superficial cleaning; see, for instance, Baskerville + Watson, Sigrid Burton, Adelle Lutz, Julia Couzens, Robin Hill (American artist), The Imaginary 20th Century, Norman M. Klein and most problematic because of its scope, I suspect, Guerilla Girls. Some are better than others (I haven't listed all the articles she's written), but most or all evidence a tone of advocacy, per the revisions I've made to the Zelevansky and Klonarides articles. Besides requesting assistance, it's prudent for me to ask whether all this rises to the level of a noticeboard report. Surely there's a COI issue, to which Ms. Spaid has not responded, and I wouldn't be surprised if these have been paid edits. Thoughts appreciated. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 02:02, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
Let's add to the growing list of such articles those created and edited by Sue Spaid ( talk · contribs), an apparently alternate account. I've tagged and made minor copy edits to some of them just now. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 05:49, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
NeilN, though I’ve continued to correspond at Ms. Spaid’s talk page, I’m not necessarily advocating for an indefinite block. But I do think there’s a resistance to accepting guidelines. Cheers from 2601, or 99, or whatever. 107.77.223.229 ( talk) 15:25, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Dear Drmies, NeilN and TonyBallioni, I'd appreciate input from any of you re: a discussion I joined here [38]. I'm surprised by a series of comments seeking to question the character of editors with whom Walter Görlitz disagrees; [39]; [40]; [41]; [42]. These seem to be off-topic distractions and attempts to impugn the motives of several contributors; more bluntly, it's crap, with an attempt to draw me out by identifying place of residence. For the moment I prefer not to answer there, but would like to know if this is standard procedure for that editor, and if it's sufficient to take to ANI.

Dear Diannaa, after removing some promotional content, I found that at least some was copied from [44]. The SeaWorld articles tend to be promotional messes, and there's a group of similar accounts responsible for much of the problem, so a WP:MULTIPLE check may be in order. For the moment, my specific request is to check for further copyright violations and rev/delete where appropriate. As always, thank you for any light you can shed.

Hey. My name is Joshua Ferguson. I am a student of Chick Vennera. I am sitting here with Chick and we were updating his page. You sent me a message that you deleted all my updates. We did a lot of work on that. Is there a back up? Do we need to send you a video mail to prove we are who we say we are? Any information back would be great.
Thanks so much, Joshua Ferguson — Preceding unsigned comment added by Therealjferguson ( talk • contribs) 22:36, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
for talk page stalkers: is this a notable enough honor to list these people here [47]? I don't think so by a longshot, but guess that removing them will be seen as disruptive. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 02:52, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
Why did you revert this edit [48] with only the edit notation of "nope" [49]? Seems to me that you are not helping me understand your reasoning - or your interest level in dialoging, if you make such minimalist edit notes. Xerton ( talk) 18:36, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63, I have commented against the indefinite block of Americanfootballupdater, as I think that he was acting in good faith. And, as you were the one who took his case to AN/I, I thought this might be of interest to you. If you have any problems, do let me know.

NeilN, TonyBallioni, Oshwah and Drmies, I just came across edits by 82.25.11.240 ( talk · contribs), who I took to ANI and was eventually blocked for two years. They've returned as soon as the block ended, and appear to be hoarding a garden of drafts that may be promotional and are surely WP:COI. Am I too quick on the trigger?

Some eyes on this appreciated. I removed copyright violation prose that was essentially a resume for the current chancellor; I also removed some content that revved up the events of a no confidence vote during his tenure, probably placed by a COI account. Pending an actual outcome, I'm wondering how much of this is passing news, how much is a WP:BLP issue, and how much merits inclusion here.

Since the discussion you tagged me on looks like a whole lot of mess that I'm marginally (at most) involved in, I figured it would be easier to respond to you in here. I generally don't mess with HS pages themselves, unless I happen to see vandalism or a typo in a rather obvious spot (ie: Parke Heritage HS being under the article Park Heritage HS). Im not even sure if I've ever made an edit on my own high school's page ever, if I have it's been a long time ago. I mainly work in the conference sections, particularly conference changes and disbanded conferences. At one point, I actually had quite a large reference list before Newspaper Archive and Newspapers.com started majorly clamping down on their paywalls, coupled with the hard drive said files were on dying. That's why some of these conferences, particularly county conferences, don't have references.
Of course, I imagine how I got involved with that goat rodeo of a discussion was the flurry of additions the other week, particularly in the EIAC, ORVC, and Hoosier Hills Conference championship pages. 1) I was making those changes on a cell phone, so instead of doing everything at once, I could only do it with sporadic bits and pieces at a time. If I had to go back to my wordpad document, when I switched back to my browser, all of my changes were gone, which is why there were so many edits. 2) I opened a trial account at Newspapers.com, so I pretty much had to do a year by year search to see what info was online out there as far as conference championships info for those conferences. The downside to doing that is that, if you wanted everything referenced, you'd end up with possibly 100 references for just that section, on what is essentially a minor page in the Wiki scope.
I'm all for having source material to back things up, but there also needs to be some logic behind that rule as well. Most conferences in Indiana do a woeful job of keeping track of records, let alone putting them online, so having a one-stop shop of info isn't possible. That, of course doesn't mean a conference that we have a newspaper article showing was founded in the 50's hasn't had champions since then, it's just a pain to find out who they were. This is where the newspaper sites help (as long as you're willing to pay up), because the alternative would be to go around the whole state looking at days of microfilm, and trusting that the editor has everything right.
Again, I understand your concern, but considering a vendetta thread I have nothing to do with was a good spot to discuss the matter, I figured here was a better place, though I apologize for the novel. Mtndrums ( talk) 13:22, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi Bob! I just wanted to check in regarding the ANI report you created regarding Ezwider and their edits in concern - are there still ongoing problems that need to be looked at? They haven't edited since yesterday, but I wanted to ask in case I need to look into this a bit further than I have. Let me know or ping me on the ANI - either is fine.

NeilN and John from Idegon, this needs some attention, re: edit warring and possible socking. The central question, about which I'm neutral, is whether the content in question merits inclusion.

NeilN, Diannaa and Drmies, PeppermintSA ( talk · contribs) has created a lot of articles lately, at least some of which show a promotional slant. I'm also concerned that there may be copyright issues...though it's not always easy to discern given the language difference with most sources. Please take a look at my reversions and warnings, and see what you think about their edit history. Much thanks, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 01:11, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
I didn't do the edit on the Festival 84 article that you warned me about. You can check my contributions and see that I only added a piece on the Jahorina mountain which I copied from the Jahorina mountain wikipedia page. The part that you deleted was not written by me, which can easily be checked.
As for the Sarajevo Open University page. I do not have a conflict of interest. I am not a part of the institution, I have never taken part in its work, nor do I personally know any of the people involved. Still, I tried to fix it up and make it appear more neutral, because after reading through it I could see why you might have found it to be overly promotional. PeppermintSA ( talk) 01:13, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
Again, you can go through my contributions and see that I have been active on Wikipedia for more than 4 years and that I have written at least 50 articles mostly on Bosnian athletes. All of my work is fully referenced, more so than the average wikipedia article which can again be checked. I have never written a single sentance which was copy pasted from another website and doesn't meet the strict copywrite guidelines. PeppermintSA ( talk) 01:19, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Is there any rationale for keeping this section, or better yet, is there a policy other than WP:PRIMARY that specifies why this doesn't merit inclusion [56]? Looks trivial and promotional to me. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 11:20, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Talk page stalkers, here's a bio of a notable that's being treated as a vanity page, and has been owned by a single account. Hardly know where to begin. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 13:57, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

A COI and promotional bloat. Serial Number 54129 or anyone who feels like taking a shot at this, good luck.

Hi talk page stalkers, a COI account has maintained his autobiography here, and contributed lots of original research to multiple articles. The first issue is the bio, and whether it meets notability guidelines. The second is--even if we accept Mr. Herrick's knowledge of the subjects--how much leeway is given for these contributions, as at Estevanico, and whether we accept the self-citing and addition of his books as sources to these articles. I've received no response at BLP [58], and think this could as easily go to ANI or COI. Would appreciate thoughts, review of edit history, and perhaps an AfD nomination. We've got thunderstorms today, so of course the power flickers and I'm reincarnated as a new IP. Thanks, 2601:188:180:11F0:A6:9302:C063:B2A1 ( talk) 16:25, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Here's some fun. I've tagged this and begun paring some of the promotional fluff. For them what's interested, this needs further attention to promotional content, and distinction between which unsourced content goes and which, if any, remains. Also, since this has been so profusely edited for years by COI accounts, it's probably a good idea to check for copyright violations. Thanks and good luck.

Melcous, NeilN Drmies, I'd appreciate more eyes on this, with the possibility of page protection should the promotional editing continue. It's a COI or autobiography issue that's bled into Minority Business Development Agency as well. I've reported this to the BLP noticeboard, but it's not exciting enough to have received any play there. Still, there's been a decent edit war for spin control, and the bio could use some attention.

That article was stuffed with press releases from the agency—the four refs on one event turned out to all be the same press release, and I didn't have the heart to examine the other paragraphs on his activities within the agency, but they are all about him doing his job. I found one additional similar ref to the Wapo one on his resignation—again, mentioned briefly along with three others. I have serious doubts about his notability but am not deletionist enough to AfD it. Yngvadottir ( talk) 20:44, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

There's been edit warring on both articles in the last few days, by IP accounts from the DC Government and Park Police, in efforts to whitewash some of the unflattering content.

Here's a good one, for them that's up for it. Lots of unsourced, not entirely neutral, and the most recent contributor offered this explanation: [62]. Previously, an editor to this and related articles was blocked for copyright violations, and given the large sections of unsourced content, that may be worth double-checking.

Because I like to ask interesting ones sometimes. Melcous, JJMC89, Drmies, NeilN, TonyBallioni, what do you make of the edit history for Howieanson ( talk · contribs)? He's contributed fairly extensively to high profile articles on baseball, and I'm unsure whether all the WP:SELFCITEing is acceptable (in other words, it looks a bit bush league to me). There's a penchant to not only use his books as sources--I'm not sure how authoritative they are--but to mention himself often in the body of article content, as in Ty Cobb. Conversely, he has received some newspaper mention for his scholarship. Do we thank him for contributing or take a closer look here for WP:OR and self-promotion? Since this seems a bit nuanced for a noticeboard, I wanted to get some opinions in a less formal venue. And maybe what puzzles me will be an easy out for you. Thoughts welcome.

Drmies, TonyBallioni, Melcous, JJMC89, I'd appreciate more eyes on this account, and recommend a block. History of creating and adding promotional content to artist bios. Lots of resume listing and copyright violation; Diannaa has rev/deleted some in the past, but I think there's plenty more. Has the smell of a paid editor.

Diannaa and Ferret, you've each assisted with this article in the past. It appears that further copyright violation content was added, and may require rev/deletion, and another round of page protection, if not a user block, may be in order.

Greetings! I just saw
this edit you made at
WP:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard. We welcome you to work within the Wikipedia system to seem resolution to problems in articles. However, threatening to take legal action has a chilling effect on discussion: that's why Wikipedia has a
very clear policy against legal threats.
I encourage you to strike through the message or otherwise recant the threat, because making such threats is one of the quickest ways to get your IP address
blocked from editing. —

Would appreciate some eyes on these, as COI accounts from VITAC are involved.

Per the many edits by Puritan27 ( talk · contribs), Drmies and Melcous, what think you?

Please have a look at this, which appears to have been a promotional and copyright issue in multiple versions. Diannaa, perhaps you can make some sense of the latter issue; Drmies and Melcous, you may be good at sussing out whether this is eligible for deletion or a less draconian fate.

Hi "99" (I believe you are identified as such?), first off, let me say that I hope you do return. From the reactions of some of the very experienced editors here, it appears you have been a very good contributer. However,I must ask, if your privacy is so important to you, why don't you register an account? You are choosing to have your IP very prominently displayed with every. single. edit. you make. Even if there were to be some kind of limitation imposed on the shared-ip template, the simple fact is there are numerous websites that provide geo-locating for IP addresses. As long as you allow people to know your IP, there will always be a way of finding out where you live and what ISP you use at the very least. With an account, no one can learn anything about you, except what you want them to know. It's unfortunate that template caused you such distress, that certainly was not my intent. I believe there is a benefit to this template, as I explained earlier. That said, I can appreciate wanting to protect your privacy, and while I do hope you continue contributing, I also hope you consider registering an account. Not only will it protect your IP address and negate the shared-ip telplate, it should also lead to fewer instances of other the other types of templates you mentioned that appear to have been aggravating for you. Anyway, this is now longer than I originally intended, so I'll just say, in short; I hope you stay and I hope you get an account. Cheers - theWOLFchild 23:38, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi fellow editors, this bio has been subject to promotional, unsourced edits for several years. Since I'm attempting to have less involvement here, maybe someone else can check this out. The most recent additions were, initially, copyright violations, and have been re-posted with quotation marks. Still, are they more than promotional blurbs, and is the critic notable enough that this merits inclusion? After this, the existential question is whether the subject is notable. If so, there may need to be article protection or some user blocks. Drmies, you helped out with this before. Thanks for any additional thoughts, and cheers, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 14:25, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello friends, this is another BLP undergoing recent tribulations, the push and pull of criticism and praise. On the one hand, I'm concerned that there's an interest in adding excessive criticism, particularly with respect to one book by the author; see also The Closing of the Western Mind for same. On the other, a new editor is trying to add passages from his own blog in defense--I've removed these twice now, and believe that there may be copyright infringement issues, too. More eyes are needed, and I suspect Drmies will have a good take on this. Thanks, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 17:31, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
That's some bad writing. Was this a hit job? David Bentley Hart's criticism is really of the man as well as the book; if there is more scope for the man in these critiques, we would have a good reason to merge all this in the biography, but we'd need to be careful lest we write up a hit piece ourselves. Still, these four (named) critics are severely notable academics. Drmies ( talk) 16:32, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
There is a somewhat disturbed individual who has been banned from multiple sites on the web who has devoted his life to an attempt to damage the reputation of Dr. Freeman. This individual operates under multiple pseudonyms. I have deleted his last edit in "Academic Criticism" but honestly you guys really need to do something to lock this page down. This fellow posts wild things wherever he can to attack Charles Freeman. This page should be locked down so he does not get to do this again. -- S. Prager — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stan Prager ( talk • contribs) 19:24, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi,from L.A. Harvey. There is certainly some legitimate concern about this page. I have/had no intention of adding anything but simply making the point to Wikipedia that those who know Charles Freeman's works will know that his Egypt,Greece and Rome is regarded as the leading university textbook on the ancient world (see the OUP website page). Please look at this before you comment further. There is not even a mention of this in this article yet it is what he is known for within US/international scholarship.
The comments under Academic Criticism are not up to Wikipedia standards as it is not even clear to what they refer, a single book or the whole of his work. As they stand they are meaningless. You cannot believe that they offer an adequate reflection of a historian's work over twenty years. As even the briefest online search will show Freeman has a large academic following and I am not surprised that anyone who knows his work would expect better from Wikipedia. Locking down this page will simply perpetuate its inadequacies. Why not find someone who is prepared to make an INDEPENDENT assessment of his academic career under this heading. It is not difficult to find the sources for Charles Freeman's many books online. As I have no further interest than one of legitimate academic concern about an entry which is clearly not up to the standards to which you aspire and unfair to a respected academic, I can now withdraw.If my deletion at least brought an important issue to your attention, I have succeeded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by L.A.Harvey ( talk • contribs) 19:17, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
From L.A. Harvey Agree but the 'academic criticism' is meaningless as it is not clear what the 'myths' Freeman is supposedly perpetuating are- or are they simply academic arguments with which the cited authors disagree?. I also assume that en historiker is not an English speaker as 'the regular public readers' sounds like a Google translation from another more formal language- I have never heard such a phrase in English - what does it mean? Most of us are regular readers!!, some of us read in public too. I have no idea what 'merely by virtue of endless repetition 'means (especially as the 'myth' to which 'the endless repetition ' refers is not described). As this is an entry on a biography of an author who has a large number of works, it is also not clear whether these comments refer to the whole of his works- unlikely as he has tackled many different subjects. I am even more convinced that I was right to delete this as it is not up to the standards of clarity that Wikipedia normally uses and the text adds nothing that is comprehensible. The fact that one can trace the citations means nothing if the original text is as muddled as this one.I can't see the point of allowing outsiders to edit if they can't take out text which is impossible to understand. Do you understand what he is talking about? A normal Wikipedia entry starts with an overview, as here. It then fleshes out the overview in the main body of the article. Yet there is nothing on the last THIRTY years of Freeman's working life when it is clear from his extensive list of publications that he has had a full academic career including the Fellowship of a Royal Society, consultancy work, leading tours, etc,etc. Luckily we do not need Wikipedia in this case as I have found an extensive biography on the Yale University Press website. I am sure that those who want to know about him will access that as it comes up high on a search engine and has the advantage of including extensive reviews, many by established academics, of his two Yale books.
Sorry for reverting your edit, I didn't read the whole diff and thought that you were simply adding vandalism. [ Username Needed 14:25, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi everyone. I am a little green with the Wiki system, and struggling to navigate into conversation mode. I hope this place is the appropriate forum for discussion :0
I have a lot of experience with, and enthusiasm for, INWO. I have tried to conform to the wiki guidelines, including the one about not uploading original research. I have therefore attempted to provide nothing but verifiable information from official sources in good faith. It is a little difficult, given that INWO is A) a dead game (out of print, no likelihood of continuation), hence a little obscure in the verifiable sources department, and B) one of the first card games to "grow up" online ie. whose sources were mainly online in the first place.
Nevertheless:
All information I have provided can be verified via the sources which are listed in both the General Reference and Reference sections of the INWO wiki entry. I have also access to a copy of The INWO Book, have read copies of files downloaded from the official game site at sjgames.com/inwo, including the latest rule book, card lists etc. I have a copy of Deluxe INWO, and most of the Assassins series. Information about the German cards come from a forum discussion at boardgamegeek.com which lists the cards in German - I had to translate those, and discovered that the 38 new ones listed at the boardgamegeek forum are also explained in detail at the official website sjgames.com, while the rest of the German cards were hilarious translations of INWO cards familiar to English speakers.
The entries that were removed for being "promotional" were an attempt to provide more accurate information to interested parties in light of fraudulent and predatory trade practices I have witnessed online with regards to this out-of-print game. I was trying to build upon the inaccurate efforts of a previous contributor who deemed it important enough to make a wiki entry about it. Likewise the entries that smelled of manuals were my attempt to improve upon the interesting yet inaccurate contributions of a previous contributor.
And finally, the controversy stuff reflects a reality of kooky disreputable publications attributing conspiracy prophecies to INWO haha - you will never find anything about this from a reputable source unfortunately. Given the topic of the game, it does tend to attract a rather kooky sector of the community. Once again, I was attempting to add to the efforts of a previous contributor.
The INWO Book (1995) Steve Jackson Games Incorporated. [1] Illuminati: New World Order, Official Website. [2] sjgames.com/INWO German [3] World Domination Handbook v1.2 [4] Boardgamegeek-INWO [5] Boardgamegeek-German INWO Forum [6]
I would really appreciate it if my contributions were restored, however I appreciate your comments and will make a better effort to tone down that which seems promotional.
I apologise for the delay in my response. As previously stated, I am a little new to wiki contributing. I hope the information provided is adequate. I have no interest in ownership of a wiki page, let alone war for such ownership lol. Just trying to help sorry.

You stated /info/en/?search=User_talk:Quaerens-veritatem?markasread=123466235#Peachtree_Corners,_Georgia: “Please stop adding promotional content for non notable entities to the article. It's spam. Thank you, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 02:27, 15 December 2017 (UTC)”
Although I thought the addition of a film studio was on the edge of being notable, I think a relatively small city like Peachtree Corners having a film studio was notable under the circumstances, specially since Peachtree Corners is not a place that usually has such a film studio. To add to notability I added to /* Economy */ the link, film studio. Per Wikipedia standards: “A reversion is a complete rejection of the work of another editor and if the reversion is not adequately supported then the reverted editor may find it difficult to assume good faith. This is one of the most common causes of an edit war. A substantive explanation also promotes consensus by alerting the reverted editor to the problem with the original edit. The reverted editor may then be able to revise the edit to correct the perceived problem. The result will be an improved article, a more knowledgeable editor and greater harmony.” How are you an arbiter on notability and spam? Are you an administrator? How is it “spam?” If you could give a Wikipedia citation directly on point? If we can’t come to agreement, let’s arbitrate this matter.

You say that “I've removed a number of non-notable entities you added to the article, which have read as promotional.” This is the first reversion I recall on the Peachtree Corners article. Were there others I have forgotten?

( /info/en/?search=Francisco_Mari%C3%B1o_y_Soler) This page was vandalized again by SIREDEJOINVILLE in spite of not being a Wikipedia authorized user, and numerous repeated calls for attention from @Maragm , @Bgwhite and others. As far as i know he was removed or banned from Wikipedia, and yet he manages to keep coming back, unlogged, and makes preposterous changes to the page. Sure, he started it and then abandoned it, and only after Wikipedia deleted the Spanish version of the page and theoretically, kicked him out, i started to take care of it in the English version, making sure the sources are compliant, etc, etc, but he keeps butting in and adding the shadiest tall stories about this forefather of the independence in Colombia. I have stored a copy for republication after Wikipedia makes sure this Sirdejoinville is properly and definitely banned from editing the page with falsehoods.

Good day, I wish to exposse user called Bisnieto who has made several editions in the Francisco Mariño y Soler. This page was created with historical proposse and the author has tried to conserve the page with edition rulers wikipedia has; nevertheless, Bisnieto user changes things according his own interest. It seems to be Bisnieto user is a descendant of Francisco Mariño y Soler and Ana María Pinzón Currea who were his first wife. Bisnieto interest possibly is related with a theme of nobility and his inheritance by wives order and other things; for this reason, creator of page, ask for librarian help in front to prevent the page be vandalized by Bisnieto user again and again and again.
Mr. Francisco Mariño y Soler was a real and historical person and all dates wrote there are supported by a history investigation. I shall thank the help a wikipedia librarian.

It's been great to get to know you and talk to you since I (umm... let's just say, "ran into you" - twice... in two days... lol), and I highly respect your unique style and editing from an IP instead of with an account. I don't know your name or anything, but recently I've been referring to you as "Bob2" (well, "Bob") in my mind - because your IP in the second-most-right block group is B0B2, and that's how I recognize you around the wiki from all the other IPv6 addresses. So hi, Bob! Thanks for being here for the project and for your professional temperament and responses to conflict, and for you knowledge and dedication here. I award you this special barnstar.

Serial Number 54129, Drmies, NeilN and any other friends eavesdropping, some advice will be appreciated re Susan Spaid ( talk · contribs). I've at least temporarily slowed her down at Lynn Zelevansky and Carole Ann Klonarides, both of whom appear to be colleagues or friends. Both articles could use further attention, but the larger problem is that nearly every article she's created is similarly compromised by promotional and unsourced content, and the bios especially are well-written resumes (I've also done some pruning to Sue Spaid, which appears to have been written by friends and associates of the subject). I'll go through a few of them and do some easy/superficial cleaning; see, for instance, Baskerville + Watson, Sigrid Burton, Adelle Lutz, Julia Couzens, Robin Hill (American artist), The Imaginary 20th Century, Norman M. Klein and most problematic because of its scope, I suspect, Guerilla Girls. Some are better than others (I haven't listed all the articles she's written), but most or all evidence a tone of advocacy, per the revisions I've made to the Zelevansky and Klonarides articles. Besides requesting assistance, it's prudent for me to ask whether all this rises to the level of a noticeboard report. Surely there's a COI issue, to which Ms. Spaid has not responded, and I wouldn't be surprised if these have been paid edits. Thoughts appreciated. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 02:02, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Dear Drmies, NeilN and TonyBallioni, I'd appreciate input from any of you re: a discussion I joined here [38]. I'm surprised by a series of comments seeking to question the character of editors with whom Walter Görlitz disagrees; [39]; [40]; [41]; [42]. These seem to be off-topic distractions and attempts to impugn the motives of several contributors; more bluntly, it's crap, with an attempt to draw me out by identifying place of residence.

Dear Diannaa, after removing some promotional content, I found that at least some was copied from [44]. The SeaWorld articles tend to be promotional messes, and there's a group of similar accounts responsible for much of the problem, so a WP:MULTIPLE check may be in order.

Since the discussion you tagged me on looks like a whole lot of mess that I'm marginally (at most) involved in, I figured it would be easier to respond to you in here. I generally don't mess with HS pages themselves, unless I happen to see vandalism or a typo in a rather obvious spot (ie: Parke Heritage HS being under the article Park Heritage HS). Im not even sure if I've ever made an edit on my own high school's page ever, if I have it's been a long time ago. I mainly work in the conference sections, particularly conference changes and disbanded conferences. At one point, I actually had quite a large reference list before Newspaper Archive and Newspapers.com started majorly clamping down on their paywalls, coupled with the hard drive said files were on dying. That's why some of these conferences, particularly county conferences, don't have references.
Of course, I imagine how I got involved with that goat rodeo of a discussion was the flurry of additions the other week, particularly in the EIAC, ORVC, and Hoosier Hills Conference championship pages. 1) I was making those changes on a cell phone, so instead of doing everything at once, I could only do it with sporadic bits and pieces at a time. If I had to go back to my wordpad document, when I switched back to my browser, all of my changes were gone, which is why there were so many edits. 2) I opened a trial account at Newspapers.com, so I pretty much had to do a year by year search to see what info was online out there as far as conference championships info for those conferences. The downside to doing that is that, if you wanted everything referenced, you'd end up with possibly 100 references for just that section, on what is essentially a minor page in the Wiki scope.
I'm all for having source material to back things up, but there also needs to be some logic behind that rule as well. Most conferences in Indiana do a woeful job of keeping track of records, let alone putting them online, so having a one-stop shop of info isn't possible. That, of course doesn't mean a conference that we have a newspaper article showing was founded in the 50's hasn't had champions since then, it's just a pain to find out who they were. This is where the newspaper sites help (as long as you're willing to pay up), because the alternative would be to go around the whole state looking at days of microfilm, and trusting that the editor has everything right.
Again, I understand your concern, but considering a vendetta thread I have nothing to do with was a good spot to discuss the matter, I figured here was a better place, though I apologize for the novel. Mtndrums ( talk) 13:22, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi Bob! I just wanted to check in regarding the ANI report you created regarding Ezwider and their edits in concern - are there still ongoing problems that need to be looked at?

NeilN and John from Idegon, this needs some attention, re: edit warring and possible socking. The central question, about which I'm neutral, is whether the content in question merits inclusion. But this looks like COI with a desire to whitewash. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 11:50, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
But if you're intent on sticking with American schools, John from Idegon, I just found a nest of Washington DC area institutions that are rich in spam. Some are elementary schools, so notability may be an issue. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 14:41, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
NeilN, Diannaa and Drmies, PeppermintSA ( talk · contribs) has created a lot of articles lately, at least some of which show a promotional slant. I'm also concerned that there may be copyright issues...though it's not always easy to discern given the language difference with most sources. Please take a look at my reversions and warnings, and see what you think about their edit history. Much thanks, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 01:11, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
I didn't do the edit on the Festival 84 article that you warned me about. You can check my contributions and see that I only added a piece on the Jahorina mountain which I copied from the Jahorina mountain wikipedia page. The part that you deleted was not written by me, which can easily be checked.
As for the Sarajevo Open University page. I do not have a conflict of interest. I am not a part of the institution, I have never taken part in its work, nor do I personally know any of the people involved. Still, I tried to fix it up and make it appear more neutral, because after reading through it I could see why you might have found it to be overly promotional. PeppermintSA ( talk) 01:13, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
Again, you can go through my contributions and see that I have been active on Wikipedia for more than 4 years and that I have written at least 50 articles mostly on Bosnian athletes. All of my work is fully referenced, more so than the average wikipedia article which can again be checked. I have never written a single sentance which was copy pasted from another website and doesn't meet the strict copywrite guidelines. PeppermintSA ( talk) 01:19, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi talk page stalkers, a COI account has maintained his autobiography here, and contributed lots of original research to multiple articles. The first issue is the bio, and whether it meets notability guidelines. The second is--even if we accept Mr. Herrick's knowledge of the subjects--how much leeway is given for these contributions, as at Estevanico, and whether we accept the self-citing and addition of his books as sources to these articles. I've received no response at BLP [58], and think this could as easily go to ANI or COI. Would appreciate thoughts, review of edit history, and perhaps an AfD nomination. We've got thunderstorms today, so of course the power flickers and I'm reincarnated as a new IP. Thanks, 2601:188:180:11F0:A6:9302:C063:B2A1 ( talk) 16:25, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Here's some fun. I've tagged this and begun paring some of the promotional fluff. For them what's interested, this needs further attention to promotional content, and distinction between which unsourced content goes and which, if any, remains. Also, since this has been so profusely edited for years by COI accounts, it's probably a good idea to check for copyright violations. Thanks and good luck.

Melcous, NeilN Drmies, I'd appreciate more eyes on this, with the possibility of page protection should the promotional editing continue. It's a COI or autobiography issue that's bled into Minority Business Development Agency as well. I've reported this to the BLP noticeboard, but it's not exciting enough to have received any play there. Still, there's been a decent edit war for spin control, and the bio could use some attention.

That article was stuffed with press releases from the agency—the four refs on one event turned out to all be the same press release, and I didn't have the heart to examine the other paragraphs on his activities within the agency, but they are all about him doing his job. I found one additional similar ref to the Wapo one on his resignation—again, mentioned briefly along with three others. I have serious doubts about his notability but am not deletionist enough to AfD it. Yngvadottir ( talk) 20:44, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Melcous, Drmies, Serial Number 54129, your feedback will be appreciated. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 02:57, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
And some of the articles are protected, so I can not revert them. Diannaa, NeilN or Moonriddengirl, could you have a look at edits by Saisjekjwelkwl ( talk · contribs) and rev/delete as needed? Thank you, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 02:13, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Awesome job with detecting copyvios, reverting vandalism, dealing with speedies... you're work here has been spectacular! Too bad we can't give IPs admin rights. :P SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 15:32, 3 August 2018 (UTC) |

Oshwah, don’t bother. There are too many genuinely interested contributors. This drive by still hasn’t acknowledged COI or plagiarism, but complains that adding content is too hard. You’ve been generous with your time, and gone the extra mile. Thanks and cheers, Bob. 38.98.231.45 ( talk) 02:00, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
See my response here. Thank you very much, Bob! It meant a lot :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 15:38, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
Just Chilling, thanks for your explanation here [60], though it doesn't appear that the account has any interest in contributing, other than to spam on behalf of non notable bands in which he's a member. I also wonder whether they were responsible for similar edits dating from 2007 [61]. I read the Box of Lies article this morning, before it was moved and deleted. It made my case better than I can do now. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 21:44, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

I'd appreciate some administrative eyes on these (good non-admins, too). There's been edit warring on both articles in the last few days, by IP accounts from the DC Government and Park Police, in efforts to whitewash some of the unflattering content. There's also been some bias in the other direction--I can't imagine that the shooting belongs in the lede of the park police article. NeilN, Drmies, some attention will be appreciated. Not sure if this is best reported to COI or page protection. Thanks, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 04:12, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
Diannaa, Moonriddengirl or any admin who can take a few minutes to scroll through the history of promotional and copyright violations here, a lot of rev/deletion looks necessary. For what it's worth, Lawcommunications ( talk · contribs) could have been blocked long ago for both violations. Thanks, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 13:49, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Drmies, you may want to keep an eye on this article. Since you created it there have been numerous unsourced additions, and the references were removed--I restored your version. By the way, I'm running across several such cases, in which articles seem to be chosen at random for test edits by new accounts. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 14:20, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
The bio appears to have been turned into a hatchet job by an editor who's here for that purpose. Some attention by admins and experienced editors ( Melcous?) would be great. Thanks, 2601:188:180:11F0:804F:25A:47B6:E8ED ( talk) 20:07, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

And sure enough, the power went down again this evening. Would anyone like to take a quick look at this? After some limited copy edits, I still think this has a whiff of advertisement about it. Thanks, 2601:188:180:11F0:E944:EA6A:CEDE:919E ( talk) 02:40, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

I've seen you around here for a while now (and years ago on an Ipv4 IP, if you're the same one I'm thinking of). It takes a lot to deal with vandalism and grief from people who automatically think you're a vandal just because you're an IP editor. Just wanted to drop a note of appreciation for the many times I've gone to rollback some vandalism, only to find out you've beaten me to the punch cymru.lass ( talk • contribs) 14:33, 19 August 2018 (UTC) |
Six years ago there was a talk page discussion re: red links. The upshot was that they stayed. My take is that it's a repository for promotion of non notable products. Any reason I shouldn't start removing them? Thanks, 2601:188:180:11F0:E944:EA6A:CEDE:919E ( talk) 15:50, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
Here's a good one, for them that's up for it. Lots of unsourced, not entirely neutral, and the most recent contributor offered this explanation: [62]. Previously, an editor to this and related articles was blocked for copyright violations, and given the large sections of unsourced content, that may be worth double-checking. Thoughts by experienced editors and administrators wiser than I are welcome. 2601:188:180:11F0:E944:EA6A:CEDE:919E ( talk) 16:44, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
Hey Bob, just been doing some work on Justin Miller (attorney) - see my comment on the talk page re notability. Any thoughts from you or any of your other stalkers? I'm not sure how clear cut it is, but feels a bit resume-spammy to me. Cheers, Melcous ( talk) 23:00, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for your suggestions. They were very helpful. I am an arts researcher and have a tendency to drift towards art speak. Please let me know if there are any outstanding issues which should be addressed. Thanks. Gustaveflaubert ( talk) 18:43, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Since I can't ping an IP, just wanted to point out the response to your AIV report about Food cart. While I see there are a lot of socks there, I'm not convinced this is one of them; 8 years of editing and good edits except for that one. Anyway, I commented here: [68]. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 19:13, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Done -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 21:23, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello again. Thank you for letting me know that there is still an outstanding issue. As you suggested, I read Wikipedia's guidelines on COI. It was very helpful. From what I understand though, the COI does not apply. While I know of a lot of artists worldwide, both living and dead, I am not related to them in any way, nor am I being paid to write or edit Wikipedia entries. Would you be so kind to let me know what it is that I need to do to rectify the matter? Thanks! Gustaveflaubert ( talk) 20:48, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
Because I like to ask interesting ones sometimes. Melcous, JJMC89, Drmies, NeilN, TonyBallioni, what do you make of the edit history for Howieanson ( talk · contribs)? He's contributed fairly extensively to high profile articles on baseball, and I'm unsure whether all the WP:SELFCITEing is acceptable (in other words, it looks a bit bush league to me). There's a penchant to not only use his books as sources--I'm not sure how authoritative they are--but to mention himself often in the body of article content, as in Ty Cobb. Conversely, he has received some newspaper mention for his scholarship. Do we thank him for contributing or take a closer look here for WP:OR and self-promotion? Since this seems a bit nuanced for a noticeboard, I wanted to get some opinions in a less formal venue. And maybe what puzzles me will be an easy out for you. Thoughts welcome.

Drmies, TonyBallioni, Melcous, JJMC89, I'd appreciate more eyes on this account, and recommend a block. History of creating and adding promotional content to artist bios. Lots of resume listing and copyright violation; Diannaa has rev/deleted some in the past, but I think there's plenty more. Has the smell of a paid editor.

Just a question, have you ever considered archiving your talk page? It's getting kind of long, so it might be a good idea. Semi Hypercube ✎ 12:23, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
Diannaa and Ferret, you've each assisted with this article in the past. It appears that further copyright violation content was added, and may require rev/deletion, and another round of page protection, if not a user block, may be in order.

Greetings! I just saw
this edit you made at
WP:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard. We welcome you to work within the Wikipedia system to seem resolution to problems in articles. However, threatening to take legal action has a chilling effect on discussion: that's why Wikipedia has a
very clear policy against legal threats.
I encourage you to strike through the message or otherwise recant the threat, because making such threats is one of the quickest ways to get your IP address
blocked from editing. —

Would appreciate some eyes on these, as COI accounts from VITAC are involved. I've asked for protection for the mall article--a number of accounts have restored an original research history, and are damned if they'll allow some know-nothings to remove it. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 04:16, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Per the many edits by Puritan27 ( talk · contribs), Drmies and Melcous, what think you? Doesn't appear to respond well to notices or bother with references, but relies upon personal academic knowledge as an WP:EXPERT. I'm loath to revert en masse, and would appreciate further thoughts, so as not to take this to ANI, for instance. Thanks, 2601:188:180:11F0:9D3F:6C9B:6798:2BB0 ( talk) 22:29, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Please have a look at this, which appears to have been a promotional and copyright issue in multiple versions. Diannaa, perhaps you can make some sense of the latter issue; Drmies and Melcous, you may be good at sussing out whether this is eligible for deletion or a less draconian fate.

Melcous, Drmies, and any experienced talk page voyeurs, I seem to be running into these a lot lately. This time it's an expert on Wilde, Spycoops ( talk · contribs), who has lately been inserting factoids in multiple articles and sourcing them to his blog.

Cheezus. Another vanity page. Can anyone tell if this is a pure copyright violation of Ms. Hulland's website--sure looks like it, but I want to be sure which came first before I start to crop this infomercial. Thanks, 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 00:39, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
And there's this. It's awful. I'm not asking for help so much as backup if I start to crop the unsourced. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 02:53, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Drmies and others, Christ's Hospital is an interesting one that MorbidStories edited. In reference to the section on sexual abuse [80], how much of this is news and how much merits inclusion here? A lot of detail regarding crimes by non-notable persons as it stands; for good measure, they're all bold-faced. 2601:188:180:1481:D0B2:2100:B473:6B99 ( talk) 22:17, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
