Hello @ Edwardx:
This is in response to the message you had sent me regarding your concerns around the COI with Sunil Wadhwani. I reached out to you last week on my own talk page, but I suppose I ought to be responsible and leave a message here as well :)
I apologize for the confusion caused. I'm not sure what caused the image to be deleted, but given that a more experienced user has called me out on it, I must've made some mistake. But I have little to no connection with Mastech Digital or Sunil Wadhwani. Here is a link to the Mastech Digital website's press room page - Newsroom Gallery. Most of the images here are for public use with respect to anything around the company ecosystem.
Kindly advise on how we can work on this together, so I don't come across as a bad editor. It's well-researched and well-cited, and I took a good month or so to flesh it out completely. Let me know if this suffices as an explanation :)
Thank you. -- Nishant.muralidharan ( talk) 06:11, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Officially it is "bridging the gaps in knowledge", with Wikimania 2018 in Cape Town paying tribute to the southern African concept of ubuntu to implement it. Besides face-to-face interactions, Wikimedians do need their power sources. ![]() Facto Post interviewed Jdforrester, who has attended every Wikimania, and now works as Senior Product Manager for the Wikimedia Foundation. His take on tackling the gaps in the Wikimedia movement is that "if we were an army, we could march in a column and close up all the gaps". In his view though, that is a faulty metaphor, and it leads to a completely false misunderstanding of the movement, its diversity and different aspirations, and the nature of the work as "fighting" to be done in the open sector. There are many fronts, and as an eventualist he feels the gaps experienced both by editors and by users of Wikimedia content are inevitable. He would like to see a greater emphasis on reuse of content, not simply its volume. If that may not sound like radicalism, the Decolonizing the Internet conference here organized jointly with Whose Knowledge? can redress the picture.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on American Dry Cleaning Company requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. DGG ( talk ) 23:32, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello Edwardx, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.
Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. — Insertcleverphrasehere ( or here) 00:00, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

I noticed your edits
On Samson Olatunde article. I put the article on the wikiproject Nigeria page, amongst the list of other articles about Nigeria and nigerians that need collaboration in editing. I did that for the sole purpose of inviting other Nigerian editors who are acquitted with the subject to help in the process.
About
Sheena Allen, the subject has been featured by world class media houses like CNN, Huffington post, Forbes, Ebony just to name a few. It is all in the citations.
I write based on the stories I get from citations. If for instance, I saw on the stories I accessed in creating the Sheena Allen article that had to call back her products because of a dysfunction, I would have added it. Cheers

I am Mr. Hall's Executive Personal Assistant and would like to flesh out his page and help you expand it. I am not sure how to go about doing this in a way that meets the criteria. His retiring Assistant (Ronnica Lee) edited the page back in May but we noted it was reverted back to an earlier version.
For reference material, see below: Mr. Hall was featured in the Documentary "The Kentucky Commodore" on KET: [1] [2] John R. Hall Endowment for Education: https://www.ket.org/the-john-r-hall-endowment-for-education/ [3] Here is an article about the Halls: [4] John R. Hall Endowment for Education: [5] Softball Field at Transylvania University named in their honor: [6] Mr. Hall being named CEO at Ashland Oil: [7] Mr. Hall' Statement to the US Senate Environmental Protection Subcommittee re: the 1988 Pittsburgh Oil Spill: [8] Crisis Management re Mr. Hall: [9] Harvard Case Study: [10]
I would love to help get Mr. Hall's page expanded. Please let me know what I can do to help. Thank you! Amy Dusing80 ( talk) 13:20, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

At the current state of notability discussions, I think it is likely that a number of the articles of investment firms you have been writing might be deleted. But you are one of the very few people working in this area who is not doing promotional editing, and I have generally supported the idea that WPedians should pre-emptively write articles of companies, to decrease the need for paid editing. Perhaps you ave some idea for how to defend these-especially we cannot obtain total funding DGG ( talk ) 22:02, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Edwardx, I can see you keep reverting original citations regarding personal life, family members, citizenship, property ownership etc. You are citing a blog which is considered to be unreliable source of information and cannot be used a reference of biographies of living persons. The blog entry is biased, highly negative and almost personal. Most of information on this blog cannot be verified, highly debatable and simply does not reflect facts, hence I would suggest removing this commentary completely unless additional credible sources can support the fact of acquisition of Maltese citizenship. Moreover, stating that the citizenship was purchased sounds like accusation more than a neutral statement of facts. Needless to say, that information about Mr Reznikovich’s citizenships is irrelevant. I would like to ask you not to use daphnecaruanagalizia.com as a reference for the purposes of Wikipedia page as it is against Wikipedia policies to use Blogs and unreliable sources. If you can find other credible sources verifying statements you make (citizenship, marital status, properties, number of children), that would be great. I believe I am making a point here. If you disagree for whatever reason, I would like to involve other editors. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.214.183.212 ( talk) 20:46, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. DGG ( talk ) 23:32, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Hey Edward, thanks again for your help evaluating my suggestions earlier. I was recently reviewing this profile of Adamczyk and I was curious if that would be a suitable source to signify the noteworthiness of the FPA award. I'd appreciate any feedback if you have the time!-- FacultiesIntact ( talk) 23:41, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
On 27 July 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Peter Wilmot-Sitwell, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that according to Peter Wilmot-Sitwell, young well-connected stockbrokers in his firm were known as "orchids" because they were "beautiful but utterly useless"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Peter Wilmot-Sitwell. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Peter Wilmot-Sitwell), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello Edwardx, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.
Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. — Insertcleverphrasehere ( or here) 00:00, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

I noticed your edits
On Samson Olatunde article. I put the article on the wikiproject Nigeria page, amongst the list of other articles about Nigeria and nigerians that need collaboration in editing. I did that for the sole purpose of inviting other Nigerian editors who are acquitted with the subject to help in the process.
About
Sheena Allen, the subject has been featured by world class media houses like CNN, Huffington post, Forbes, Ebony just to name a few. It is all in the citations.
I write based on the stories I get from citations. If for instance, I saw on the stories I accessed in creating the Sheena Allen article that had to call back her products because of a dysfunction, I would have added it. Cheers

I am Mr. Hall's Executive Personal Assistant and would like to flesh out his page and help you expand it. I am not sure how to go about doing this in a way that meets the criteria. His retiring Assistant (Ronnica Lee) edited the page back in May but we noted it was reverted back to an earlier version.
For reference material, see below: Mr. Hall was featured in the Documentary "The Kentucky Commodore" on KET: [1] [2] John R. Hall Endowment for Education: https://www.ket.org/the-john-r-hall-endowment-for-education/ [3] Here is an article about the Halls: [4] John R. Hall Endowment for Education: [5] Softball Field at Transylvania University named in their honor: [6] Mr. Hall being named CEO at Ashland Oil: [7] Mr. Hall' Statement to the US Senate Environmental Protection Subcommittee re: the 1988 Pittsburgh Oil Spill: [8] Crisis Management re Mr. Hall: [9] Harvard Case Study: [10]
I would love to help get Mr. Hall's page expanded. Please let me know what I can do to help. Thank you! Amy Dusing80 ( talk) 13:20, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

At the current state of notability discussions, I think it is likely that a number of the articles of investment firms you have been writing might be deleted. But you are one of the very few people working in this area who is not doing promotional editing, and I have generally supported the idea that WPedians should pre-emptively write articles of companies, to decrease the need for paid editing. Perhaps you ave some idea for how to defend these-especially we cannot obtain total funding DGG ( talk ) 22:02, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Edwardx, I can see you keep reverting original citations regarding personal life, family members, citizenship, property ownership etc. You are citing a blog which is considered to be unreliable source of information and cannot be used a reference of biographies of living persons. The blog entry is biased, highly negative and almost personal. Most of information on this blog cannot be verified, highly debatable and simply does not reflect facts, hence I would suggest removing this commentary completely unless additional credible sources can support the fact of acquisition of Maltese citizenship. Moreover, stating that the citizenship was purchased sounds like accusation more than a neutral statement of facts. Needless to say, that information about Mr Reznikovich’s citizenships is irrelevant. I would like to ask you not to use daphnecaruanagalizia.com as a reference for the purposes of Wikipedia page as it is against Wikipedia policies to use Blogs and unreliable sources. If you can find other credible sources verifying statements you make (citizenship, marital status, properties, number of children), that would be great. I believe I am making a point here. If you disagree for whatever reason, I would like to involve other editors. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.214.183.212 ( talk) 20:46, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
