Hello User talk:Cullen328 -- After adding some extended Talk:Skylab mutiny comments I waded in and revised the Skylab mutiny. I appreciate your perspective based on your several comments (vs some other commenters). I believe the neutrality challenge could be removed, but ... THANKS GeeBee60 ( talk) 05:27, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
Congratulations! You have just been held up as a model for us all - the only person here who never over-reacts or says anything he later regrets. [1] I agree with that assessment by the way. -- MelanieN ( talk) 16:33, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
I see you have a usebox proclaiming you practice civility and you AGF of others yet from my perspective this comment is not congruent with those practices. All I have to say on the matter and won't be responding to any comments you have in response to this.-- MONGO ( talk) 07:16, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jim. If I remember correctly, I think you live in the SF area so perhaps you know something about this guy. So, I was wondering if you'd mind taking a look at the article since it seems to be a bit promotional in tone and has the feel of a personal website, particulary the section "San Francisco City Attorney". I'm also a bit concerned by this edit sum referring to "our page". It could just be nothing, but it could indicate a WP:APPARENTCOI. (The same SPA editor also posted WP:THQ#How do you change the photo in the bio box? just for reference.) Anyway, most of the editing to the article t(oustside of cleanup type of stuff) appears to be being done by SPAs and IPs, and some of the content may have actually been copied and pasted from other websites. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 00:39, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
I deeply respect you, and I don't mean to pick on you. But your comment that we shouldn't delete bad POV biographies like Bruce Ohr, just find more experienced editors to help fix them, struck me as a deep and problematic issue that we have to deal with, so I opened a thread on WP:ANI about it. The bottom line is that it's easy to say that, but nobody's actually stepping up to do the work. NorthBySouthBaranof ( talk) 02:44, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi. You recently posted about a comment I made about the Aretha Franklin page.
Everything you said was right on. Not that it's an excuse - but I should never post a suggestion/question etc. on only two hours sleep. I can be ... grumpy. I'm deleting my post.
My apologies.

In an attempt to address concerns brought forth on its talk page and at Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard/Archive271#Skylab_mutiny, I have prepared a draft of a substantially different article on the same topic at User:Ke4roh/Skylab 4 human factors.

We have made 17 references in which includes multiple reliable independent sources about the company and the books? all of them apart from 1 and 2 are from reliable sources and about the company so not sure how you can say that?!

I made this [2] edit at Talk:United Daughters of the Confederacy. Apparently only administrators can use warning templates. Since you are somewhat familiar with what is going on at the article, I would appreciate any preventative participation you might feel is appropriate. Tom (North Shoreman) ( talk) 16:17, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
I feel silly mentioning this - partly because the page it refers to is a talk page related to "The Hardy Boys" O.O
Someone had inserted @-t+sshole above the first talking point - you can read my comment on the talk page if you wish.
/info/en/?search=Talk:List_of_The_Hardy_Boys_characters
I removed @-t+sshole by deleting it on the "Edit source" page.
First, I don't know if it's generally OK to edit the source page.
Second, I added my comment to the source page, then removed it and made it a new section. I'm guessing it's still the last section on that talk page.
Anyway - don't know if you can trace the source but was surprised to see the comment.

Hi and thanks for your previous answer. I see now that two years ago I created an editing name / account but never did much. I forgot I had it. Then a few days ago when I wanted to start an article I made a new editor name, having forgot I already had one.
I will only use the one name from now but it has been suggested that I 'redirect' the other name to the active name. I have read the Redirect info and see how it applied to articles, but NOT to editor names.
Is it enough if I simply ignore the old name and leave it sitting there? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yororipas ( talk • contribs) 07:55, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

.Hi Jim! It´s great to meet you! Thanks for the resources you are posting, I´m still a beginner at Wikipedia and they are being very useful for me. I would like to ask about the first complete article I´ve created. It´s about a recent novel I read. This is the article: /info/en/?search=User:Josanva/sandbox
I would like to know how can I post it on Wikipedia and if you have any suggestions. I also upload a picture of the book cover but somebody has flagged it. I saw many novel book covers in Wikipedia so not sure why this one is not following the rules.

Cullen328 Hi, I am confused why is the kidnapping of Amber Swartz–Garcia, article up for deletion again? Once they decide to keep it if that is what is voted upon, why is it up for deletion again? How many times can a deletion notice be put on an article? Davidgoodheart ( talk) 07:13, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
Cullen328 You had an article written about you, wow that's impressive! You must be either a celebrity or a famous editor. I am planning to recover a lot of Wikipedia articles that were wrongly deleted and try to see if there is anyway to republish them. I am trying very hard to get a lot of articles upgraded, and there are some other things that I could use help with, do you think that you could help me out, as you probably know much more about Wikipedia than I do. Davidgoodheart ( talk) 07:36, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
I do not believe that this article satisfies the Wikipedia notability criterion, i,e that it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
I have read all the quoted sources, and summarize them here.
1) Vranica, Suzanne (2005-11-30). "Questions for… Mark Wnek". Wall Street Journal. ISSN 0099-9660. Retrieved 2018-07-21.
This reports an interview with Wnek after he was named chairman and chief creative officer of Lowe's flagship New York office. Lowe Worldwide is a major advertising agency. Wnek provides lots of information about his previous career. This is not a reliable secondary source as the information has mainly been provided by the subject.
2) "The second coming". Marketing week. 20 November 2003. Retrieved 2018-07-21. This article starts:
“Arrogant’ and ‘bastard’ come up frequently in people’s description of ex-Euro RSCG chief Mark Wnek, though none deny his creative talent. Lucy Barrett meets the hard man of advertising, alleged to have been mellowed by first-time fatherhood” It then goes on to describe a successful career in advertising to date and also his personality.
It says that he went to school with former Labour communications chief Alastair Campbell, but since the latter went to school in Yorkshire and then Leicester, and the article claims that Wnek is from Brixton, London, one has to wonder about the credibility of the article.
Nonetheless, this may constitute a reliable secondary source.
3) "Mark Wnek joins Lowe New York". Marketing Week. 28 April 2005. Retrieved 2018-07-21.
This simply states that
“Mark Wnek, former chairman of Euro RSCG group and co-founder of failed start-up Ben Mark Orlando, has been appointed chairman and chief executive of Lowe New York.”
A passing reference to the subject in an article about the company he worked for does not constitute significant coverage.
4) Mcmains, Andrew (20 April 2005). "Wnek Moves to Lowe as CCO". Adweek. Retrieved 2018-07-21.
This article says: “Lowe said it is replacing U.S. chairman and chief creative officer Gary Goldsmith with Mark Wnek, former creative chief and co-chairman at Euro RSCG Wnek Gosper Partners in London.” There is then some discussion of the existing structure at Lowe, and the article then says: “Wnek, sources said, has been looking to work in the U.S. and talked to several agencies before accepting the Lowe post.”
A passing reference to the appointment of the subject in an article about the company he worked for does not constitute significant coverage.
5) Hatfield, Stefano (2005-04-21). "Will Mark Wnek be king of New York?". the Guardian. Retrieved 2018-07-21.
The author of this article admits to being a friend of Wnek’s., so this is not a reliable secondary source.
6) "Mark Wnek - Crisis and Creativity, The future and Dinosaurs - Cannes 2009". Adland. 1 July 2009. Retrieved 2018-07-21.
This is a report of an interview with Wnek, so this is not a reliable secondary source
7) Hall, Emma (19 January 2009). "Lowe Lives: How an Agency Left Deathbed for Profits". AdAge. Retrieved 2018-07-21.
The is a report on the advertising Company Lowe, and makes a brief mention of Wnek: “Even if the network's London office is still a mess, New York has turned around under the leadership of Mark Wnek”
A passing reference to the subject in an article about a company he worked for does not constitute significant coverage
8) Paresh, Rhupal (2009). "The Story Behind the Lowe/Deutsch Merger". AdAge. Retrieved 2018-07-21.
This article is also about Lowe and mentions Wnek as follows:
"Several attempts to shock it back to life after that period of merger-mania-driven client losses failed, though the most recent go at it, led by Mark Wnek, at least helped reacquaint the agency with the idea of a new- business win. But Mr. Wnek, a British import, was basically pushed out in the merger."
A passing reference to the subject in an article about the company he worked for does not constitute a significant coverage
9) "Former U.N. Creative Chief Creates Millennial-Fueled Talent 'Army'". AdAge. Retrieved 2018-07-21.
This is a report of an interview with Wnek and is therefore not a reliable secondary source.
Only reference (2) could be considered as a reliable secondary source, but one marketing magazine’s reporting of a marketing man does not constitute significant coverage.

Thanks for your note at ANI Cullen328. I am aware of the Arbcom admonition and need to do better.
Here is what I was trying to communicate with said "profane tirade".
In my view, in a case like this, where the AfD was under the speedy spam criteria -- not about whether the subject meets the N criteria abstractly, but rather under WP:G11 with respect to the actual content that readers are exposed to -- in my view your choice (and that of the others) to !vote keep (and that was your choice to participate in, and to make) attaches responsibility for the actual bad content remaining in Wikipedia. The actual content.
Now, as you noted, you can walk away (nobody is obligated to actively do anything). But what I was and am trying to say -- is should you? Should you !vote to keep dreck, and do nothing to fix it? (that is a real question). Am interested in your reply. Jytdog ( talk) 03:49, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

.Hi Jim! It´s great to meet you! Thanks for the resources you are posting, I´m still a beginner at Wikipedia and they are being very useful for me. I would like to ask about the first complete article I´ve created. It´s about a recent novel I read. This is the article: /info/en/?search=User:Josanva/sandbox
I would like to know how can I post it on Wikipedia and if you have any suggestions. I also upload a picture of the book cover but somebody has flagged it. I saw many novel book covers in Wikipedia so not sure why this one is not following the rules.
Thanks a lot, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Josanva ( talk • contribs) 00:52, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Cullen328 Hi, I am confused why is the kidnapping of Amber Swartz–Garcia, article up for deletion again? Once they decide to keep it if that is what is voted upon, why is it up for deletion again? How many times can a deletion notice be put on an article? Davidgoodheart ( talk) 07:13, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
Cullen328 You had an article written about you, wow that's impressive! You must be either a celebrity or a famous editor. I am planning to recover a lot of Wikipedia articles that were wrongly deleted and try to see if there is anyway to republish them. I am trying very hard to get a lot of articles upgraded, and there are some other things that I could use help with, do you think that you could help me out, as you probably know much more about Wikipedia than I do.

I do not believe that this article satisfies the Wikipedia notability criterion, i,e that it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
I have read all the quoted sources, and summarize them here.
1) Vranica, Suzanne (2005-11-30). "Questions for… Mark Wnek". Wall Street Journal. ISSN 0099-9660. Retrieved 2018-07-21.
This reports an interview with Wnek after he was named chairman and chief creative officer of Lowe's flagship New York office. Lowe Worldwide is a major advertising agency. Wnek provides lots of information about his previous career. This is not a reliable secondary source as the information has mainly been provided by the subject.
2) "The second coming". Marketing week. 20 November 2003. Retrieved 2018-07-21. This article starts:
“Arrogant’ and ‘bastard’ come up frequently in people’s description of ex-Euro RSCG chief Mark Wnek, though none deny his creative talent. Lucy Barrett meets the hard man of advertising, alleged to have been mellowed by first-time fatherhood” It then goes on to describe a successful career in advertising to date and also his personality.
It says that he went to school with former Labour communications chief Alastair Campbell, but since the latter went to school in Yorkshire and then Leicester, and the article claims that Wnek is from Brixton, London, one has to wonder about the credibility of the article.
Nonetheless, this may constitute a reliable secondary source.
3) "Mark Wnek joins Lowe New York". Marketing Week. 28 April 2005. Retrieved 2018-07-21.
This simply states that
“Mark Wnek, former chairman of Euro RSCG group and co-founder of failed start-up Ben Mark Orlando, has been appointed chairman and chief executive of Lowe New York.”
A passing reference to the subject in an article about the company he worked for does not constitute significant coverage.
4) Mcmains, Andrew (20 April 2005). "Wnek Moves to Lowe as CCO". Adweek. Retrieved 2018-07-21.
This article says: “Lowe said it is replacing U.S. chairman and chief creative officer Gary Goldsmith with Mark Wnek, former creative chief and co-chairman at Euro RSCG Wnek Gosper Partners in London.” There is then some discussion of the existing structure at Lowe, and the article then says: “Wnek, sources said, has been looking to work in the U.S. and talked to several agencies before accepting the Lowe post.”
A passing reference to the appointment of the subject in an article about the company he worked for does not constitute significant coverage.
5) Hatfield, Stefano (2005-04-21). "Will Mark Wnek be king of New York?". the Guardian. Retrieved 2018-07-21.
The author of this article admits to being a friend of Wnek’s., so this is not a reliable secondary source.
6) "Mark Wnek - Crisis and Creativity, The future and Dinosaurs - Cannes 2009". Adland. 1 July 2009. Retrieved 2018-07-21.
This is a report of an interview with Wnek, so this is not a reliable secondary source
7) Hall, Emma (19 January 2009). "Lowe Lives: How an Agency Left Deathbed for Profits". AdAge. Retrieved 2018-07-21.
The is a report on the advertising Company Lowe, and makes a brief mention of Wnek: “Even if the network's London office is still a mess, New York has turned around under the leadership of Mark Wnek”
A passing reference to the subject in an article about a company he worked for does not constitute significant coverage
8) Paresh, Rhupal (2009). "The Story Behind the Lowe/Deutsch Merger". AdAge. Retrieved 2018-07-21.
This article is also about Lowe and mentions Wnek as follows:
"Several attempts to shock it back to life after that period of merger-mania-driven client losses failed, though the most recent go at it, led by Mark Wnek, at least helped reacquaint the agency with the idea of a new- business win. But Mr. Wnek, a British import, was basically pushed out in the merger."
A passing reference to the subject in an article about the company he worked for does not constitute a significant coverage
9) "Former U.N. Creative Chief Creates Millennial-Fueled Talent 'Army'". AdAge. Retrieved 2018-07-21.
This is a report of an interview with Wnek and is therefore not a reliable secondary source.
Only reference (2) could be considered as a reliable secondary source, but one marketing magazine’s reporting of a marketing man does not constitute significant coverage.

Thanks for your note at ANI Cullen328. I am aware of the Arbcom admonition and need to do better.
Here is what I was trying to communicate with said "profane tirade".
In my view, in a case like this, where the AfD was under the speedy spam criteria -- not about whether the subject meets the N criteria abstractly, but rather under WP:G11 with respect to the actual content that readers are exposed to -- in my view your choice (and that of the others) to !vote keep (and that was your choice to participate in, and to make) attaches responsibility for the actual bad content remaining in Wikipedia. The actual content.
Now, as you noted, you can walk away (nobody is obligated to actively do anything). But what I was and am trying to say -- is should you? Should you !vote to keep dreck, and do nothing to fix it? (that is a real question). Am interested in your reply. Jytdog ( talk) 03:49, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
