NOW we know how alarm, despondency and panic are spread... 8-() Peridon ( talk) 20:55, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
I saw your message to me about editing the page that is about me. I didn't create the page, but noticed that it was incomplete and inaccurate. To tell the truth, it doesn't matter to me whether I am in Wikipedia or not, but if I am to be there, I would like the information to be complete and accurate. It isn't clear to me how to make that happen without doing it myself. I'd be grateful for your guidance on that...I'm not even sure this is the right way to reply to your message, but thanks for alerting me.

Dear Drm310 -
Thanks for your notes on my recent edits to the Innovis page. I am Director of Marketing for CBC Companies. My company wanted me to correct erroneous infromation on the page. While I am close to the subject matter, I am also a former journalist and know the importance of including factual, verifiable information in the articles. Here are the changes I made:
If I am not allowed to correct inaccuracies about the company, can you please help me understand how to get someone else to do it? It's not right to have factually incorrect information about Innovis that could potentially negative impact our reputation, revenue, and regulatory oversight.

Hey Drm310,
I am with Eaglemont Entertainment. We currently manage and serve as High Valley's record label in the U.S. I noticed you have re-edited what we posted yesterday. Please know that the information we posted is correct and I would appreciate it if you changed it back. Centricity Music is part of Eaglemont Entertainment, but is not associated with High Valley. They are ONLY associated with Eaglemont Entertainment. Also, the introduction we posted yesterday is what we would like people to see as they look up High Valley. Thank you so much for keeping an eye on their page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.52.16.9 ( talk) 14:28, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
Please use these sources when editing High Valley

Also, some of the details of the edits we made are not citable because they have never been posted online or in publication before. Please understand that as our edits were correct. Once again, thanks so much for keeping an eye on our page! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.52.16.9 ( talk) 14:36, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
I definitely understand my "conflict of interest." I am not trying to use wikipedia as a promotional source. I am simply trying to have it updated. Most, if not all of your sources have been updated, yet the page has not. The ONLY album released under Centricity Music was "High Valley," and you are correct, they do still own the masters. "Love is a Long Road" was released under Eaglemont Entertainment/Open Road. It is specified on the album itself. Centricity Music is no longer associated with High Valley. So under Label, it should read Eaglemont Entertainment, Open Road Recordings. High Valley is no longer considered a Christian, Country band. Christian country is actually a specific genre. High Valley is now considered only country. I am asking that the opening statement contain more about the band and less about 3 individuals childhood. The photo associated with the account is now 6 years old. There are multiple sources, including the one that I gave you where you can find a more suitable picture. The three brothers no longer look like the photo that is representing them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.52.16.9 ( talk) 20:37, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

thanks for the help with the entry 'Jeffery Straker' Two quick questions 1) Can you explain why reference #4 is being questioned for reliability? It links to an article by a verified, legitimate arts publication on the West Coast of Canada. The link provided functions and takes you to the review that this publication wrote. If there is anything else specifically needed to verify reliability, please advise - I'm scratching my head on that one 2) I'd like to help have the following overall comment removed: "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. (June 2013)". I've read the material in Wikipedia on why this comment might appear in an article (relating to bias etc) but I don't think it should in this instance. I've gathered my facts and references on the subject and feel it is presented in an unbiased manner. If there is something specific that should be removed from the entry, to remove bias in your opinion, please advise. Much Thanks! Talmag Talmag ( talk) 16:36, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello,
First, sorry for my English.
I edited the article to include the link because I think our organization can be useful for other people to contact others affected by this terrible desease. In fact, at this time we are about to do the article on Wikipedia gliomatosis in Spanish to help people find others affected.
If you access the web, you can see that there is only banners of the companies that have helped create the organization. No commercials, campaigns, ...
If you consider to remove the external link, you are free to do so.
Thanks for your work. I really appreciate it.
Howdy,
Thanks for alerting me the Wiki procedures. You said that it might be safer (when working on a topic where I may have a conflict of interest) to create a draft page and have an editor proofread it. Is it best to do this for any change I plan to make. For example, I just updated our products features on a page that compares the features of different web servers. I updated SSI support to "Yes" from "No" and IPv6 support to "Yes" from "Unknown". I would consider these to be small updates, and thus not worth submitting a draft for, but I'd like your opinion.
Cheers,
Michael

Hi, Thanks for the advice. This is my first time entering a subject on Wikipedia so please excuse my errors. I am trying to generate a page about the Federation of Writers without it seeming to be a promotion. The problem is how can I do that?

A declared conflict of interest ought not to disqualify a legitimate clarification... I'll see what happens.

Hi DRM310,
Thank you for the message - I understand now and apologize if I violated any policies. I should have looked through them thoroughly before editing. I simply wanted to clean up the page and my main goal was add in additional charity information/updated info on endorsers and sponsorships. What would be the best way of getting those edited without violating any policies? I left information on the page that didn't shine the best light on the company in order to show the integrity of the page, so I hope that counts for something.

Hi, Drm310. Thanks for the message about affiliation and conflict of interest. I am employed by the organization that I edited, and am very careful to follow Wikipedia's guidelines. Our only changes are factual -- well, that's all that the site seeks to do, present the facts, not opinions or judgment. I am now leaving my position here and would like to change the name of the user to reflect my replacement. Is that possible? I am quite sure that person understands the guidelines as well, but will make sure to emphasize them before I leave. The revised name should be MaryO-WNE. Please advise. Thank you for your time. SashaN-WNE ( talk) 15:24, 5 September 2013 (UTC)SashaN-WNE.
Thanks for this. I will advise my replacement to do as you say. I also saw that flag and just edited it so it's no longer a copy and paste. Unfortunately I can find no other source online referring to this Center. Should I therefore remove it? Apologies for this. I thought I was careful. Thanks for being on it. As for the name change, I understand this account lives on in perpetuity but I will no longer use it. Is it acceptable for me to create a second, personal account at some point, should I wish to edit Wikipedia in the future? As myself, not for an organization; I won't do that again. Thanks again. I understand you are volunteer and I appreciate your time. SashaN-WNE ( talk) 15:51, 5 September 2013 (UTC)SashaN-WNE

Hi. I'm one of the clerks at the sockpuppet investigation (SPI) page. Just a heads-up regarding your recent SPI request regarding I2c corporate and his suspected sockpuppet Prepaid reporter — you need to go back to the request page ( Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/I2c corporate) and supply specific diffs supporting your case. Also — especially since neither account involved here has been blocked already, please make sure you are noting exactly what makes this a question of abuse of multiple accounts; I suggest you re-read the sockpuppetry policy ( WP:SOCK) and make it clear how this is not only a use of multiple accounts, but a use of multiple accounts for an improper purpose. If you don't do this in a timely manner, your SPI request will most likely be closed without any action being taken. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 06:29, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia's FAQs "While a list of the notable services your organization provides might be appropriate, such a list should only include those that are a part of the primary mission and are necessary to adequately describe the organization" I think you unfairly placed a speedy deletion on our page without reading it.

Hi Drm310, thanks for your message. I've started out very tentatively and just edited the Thriller Genre article. I love, love, love the interlinking on Wikipedia and took a look while editing at how it's done. So I included a few internal ones in the mentioned article. I guess you should be careful that you don't overload? I made three in different places so far, hope that's OK. It's very easy to happily lose yourself in all the content here.

Hi, You recently assisted on an article I was editing by placing tags and reverting edits. You seemed clued up on how to deal with these issues so I was hoping for some advice. I regularly come across articles that look like they've been cut and pasted from the annals of the artist's PR department. I attempt to tidy them up, delete inappropriate info, put tags on them and clean up the inevitably poor grammar and layout. Every single time, my edits are resisted and reverted by a SPA, an editor who either overtly or inadvertently declares to be the subject or to have a close relationship with them, and despite anything I do, they lurk around the article and don't accept their article being brought up to wiki standards, as it normally has an adverse effect on the content (in their eyes). In the past, I've gone to the COI board a few times, but have not had much joy. Sometimes other editors have got involved, but this is normally a short-term solution, and the editor in question resorts to other tactics to achieve their aims - most often playing the waiting game or using an alternative IP/account. Recently I've come across a glut of articles which are in dire need of a tidy-up, but have had several editors do the same thing in resisting changes. I'm aware of wikipedia's rules such as don't bite the newcomer and assume good intent, but in many of these cases, it's very obvious these are sock puppets with a single purpose of paid or self advocacy - which in theory are huge breaches of wiki policies - but in practice go unpunished because I'm the only editor involved in the article who cares about restoring it to a decent standard. It seems this issue is rife amongst music producers who use wiki as a personal platform for self-promotion. So as someone who seems to be well versed in these issues, can you please advise me on effective approaches to take that will achieve the aim of removing promotional content from an article and prevent closely linked parties editing their own articles? After those unsuccessful attempts to generate support from the COI board and repeated games of cat-and-mouse with little support from other established editors it can get very frustrating! Your help is much appreciated! Rayman60 ( talk) 16:37, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach

(In Hollywood, everyone is everyone elses' "dearest friend" so "close familiar" might be a similar meaningless phrase.) In any event, thank you again for the reversion. Enjoy your sleep!! – S.

Hi, Thanks for the advice. This is my first time entering a subject on Wikipedia so please excuse my errors. I am trying to generate a page about the Federation of Writers without it seeming to be a promotion. The problem is how can I do that? I deliberately did not mention that membership was free although donations are accepted as I felt that was promoting the organisation. Which part seems wrong and if I edit that part out can the rest be approved? Thanks for your help. RipleyLV426 ( talk) 14:54, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Drm310,
Our page was just deleted, etc.
I am new to this process. How far off was I?

Thank you for your warm welcome. My great concern is to make sure that the article I posted barcelona rentals vacation does not sound as advertisement. Please help me to make sure that this is correct. Also I will like to add a logo and I don't know how. thank you! Frante Camar ( talk) 15:54, 24 August 2013 (UTC)Frante Camar
Thanks for the input. I will try to get onto these entries this week to rectify defects. I am a busy man but some of these defects are simply procedural errors on my part.

Hi - you deleted an edit I made for my company. I was using the sandbox. how do I get a company website to be accepted as a page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DocuXplorer Software ( talk • contribs) 15:31, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Thanks, Drm310 for the reminder re: conflict of interest. Yes, I am in conflict and accept the rebuke. I have since offered another edit which I hope will withstand a challenge. A declared conflict of interest ought not to disqualify a legitimate clarification... I'll see what happens. The alternative is to play silly games and create a less obvious userid, or orchestrate changes through different users. I welcome the reminder and look forward to learning more re: wiki edits and postings. cheers SRBvtr 15:38, 28 August 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkblock ( talk • contribs)
Hi thanks for the help you previously gave me… I have another question I was hoping you could help me with.
I wanted to reference two written articles for a wikipedia page but they don't have a linkable online reference? What is proper standing operating procedure? I scanned both articles, but have no other online reference. -- Coffeerob ( talk) 00:16, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for catching that. Not sure why Twinkle put that there (and also on the correct user's page). EvergreenFir ( talk) 16:59, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi DRM310,
Thank you for the message - I understand now and apologize if I violated any policies. I should have looked through them thoroughly before editing. I simply wanted to clean up the page and my main goal was add in additional charity information/updated info on endorsers and sponsorships. What would be the best way of getting those edited without violating any policies? I left information on the page that didn't shine the best light on the company in order to show the integrity of the page, so I hope that counts for something.

Hi, Drm310. Thanks for the message about affiliation and conflict of interest. I am employed by the organization that I edited, and am very careful to follow Wikipedia's guidelines. Our only changes are factual -- well, that's all that the site seeks to do, present the facts, not opinions or judgment. I am now leaving my position here and would like to change the name of the user to reflect my replacement. Is that possible? I am quite sure that person understands the guidelines as well, but will make sure to emphasize them before I leave. The revised name should be MaryO-WNE. Please advise. Thank you for your time. SashaN-WNE ( talk) 15:24, 5 September 2013 (UTC)SashaN-WNE.
Thanks for this. I will advise my replacement to do as you say. I also saw that flag and just edited it so it's no longer a copy and paste. Unfortunately I can find no other source online referring to this Center. Should I therefore remove it? Apologies for this. I thought I was careful. Thanks for being on it. As for the name change, I understand this account lives on in perpetuity but I will no longer use it. Is it acceptable for me to create a second, personal account at some point, should I wish to edit Wikipedia in the future? As myself, not for an organization; I won't do that again. Thanks again. I understand you are volunteer and I appreciate your time. SashaN-WNE ( talk) 15:51, 5 September 2013 (UTC)SashaN-WNE
Thanks for removing the copypaste tag. I speak with my replacement about the larger issue. And I will change my name once my first namechange has been rejected. You've been very helpful, thanks. SashaN-WNE ( talk) 18:04, 5 September 2013 (UTC)SashaN-WNE
Hello Drm310. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:Industrias Intelectuales, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: user has provided an assurance that the account is only for a single individual, and plans to change username.

Hi. I'm one of the clerks at the sockpuppet investigation (SPI) page. Just a heads-up regarding your recent SPI request regarding I2c corporate and his suspected sockpuppet Prepaid reporter — you need to go back to the request page ( Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/I2c corporate) and supply specific diffs supporting your case. Also — especially since neither account involved here has been blocked already, please make sure you are noting exactly what makes this a question of abuse of multiple accounts; I suggest you re-read the sockpuppetry policy ( WP:SOCK) and make it clear how this is not only a use of multiple accounts, but a use of multiple accounts for an improper purpose. If you don't do this in a timely manner, your SPI request will most likely be closed without any action being taken. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 06:29, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia's FAQs "While a list of the notable services your organization provides might be appropriate, such a list should only include those that are a part of the primary mission and are necessary to adequately describe the organization" I think you unfairly placed a speedy deletion on our page without reading it. The educative mission and purpose of this scientific Society was clearly stated. Kindly remove the deletion that you placed. Thank you. ESDCSC ( talk) 20:44, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Drm310, thanks for your message. I've started out very tentatively and just edited the Thriller Genre article. I love, love, love the interlinking on Wikipedia and took a look while editing at how it's done. So I included a few internal ones in the mentioned article. I guess you should be careful that you don't overload? I made three in different places so far, hope that's OK. It's very easy to happily lose yourself in all the content here.

Hi, You recently assisted on an article I was editing by placing tags and reverting edits. You seemed clued up on how to deal with these issues so I was hoping for some advice. I regularly come across articles that look like they've been cut and pasted from the annals of the artist's PR department. I attempt to tidy them up, delete inappropriate info, put tags on them and clean up the inevitably poor grammar and layout. Every single time, my edits are resisted and reverted by a SPA, an editor who either overtly or inadvertently declares to be the subject or to have a close relationship with them, and despite anything I do, they lurk around the article and don't accept their article being brought up to wiki standards, as it normally has an adverse effect on the content (in their eyes). In the past, I've gone to the COI board a few times, but have not had much joy. Sometimes other editors have got involved, but this is normally a short-term solution, and the editor in question resorts to other tactics to achieve their aims - most often playing the waiting game or using an alternative IP/account. Recently I've come across a glut of articles which are in dire need of a tidy-up, but have had several editors do the same thing in resisting changes. I'm aware of wikipedia's rules such as don't bite the newcomer and assume good intent, but in many of these cases, it's very obvious these are sock puppets with a single purpose of paid or self advocacy - which in theory are huge breaches of wiki policies - but in practice go unpunished because I'm the only editor involved in the article who cares about restoring it to a decent standard. It seems this issue is rife amongst music producers who use wiki as a personal platform for self-promotion. So as someone who seems to be well versed in these issues, can you please advise me on effective approaches to take that will achieve the aim of removing promotional content from an article and prevent closely linked parties editing their own articles? After those unsuccessful attempts to generate support from the COI board and repeated games of cat-and-mouse with little support from other established editors it can get very frustrating! Your help is much appreciated! Rayman60 ( talk) 16:37, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

The article Medicine Baba has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

I blocked the account for a username violation. As for the copyvio, you just deal with it the same way, maybe note somewhere that it is translated (although translations are still derivative works). Daniel Case ( talk) 19:37, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
