Hello Gronk Oz. I have thought it useful for me to update Wikipedia articles on subjects that I am researching for other purposes. I use a small subset of information I gather for Wikipedia updates and, of course, only published material can be used for the Wikipedia articles. (One can usually tell where I have been - there is typically one or two citation reference numbers at the end of each sentence.) Where I have information from unpublished sources, I do not use or reference it in a Wikipedia article.
What should one do when articles are subsequently damaged by people who don't know a subject well, use one or two references out of context to justify a position, and then doggedly re-edit an article to suit their conclusion? I don't see value in citing 30-50 published articles - resulting in a string of 30-50 superscript citation numbers - after single a word to try to demonstrate that a term I have used really is the term that was used for the item concerned. I don't really have an interest in a combative "s/he who edits last wins and proves reality." If people were interested in working collegially to identify the best way to present material, that would be good. But where they have only their own preferences and insist on that being what goes into Wikipedia, point scoring rather than good articles seems to be the objective.
Can you advise? If there is no place in Wikipedia for well-crafted, robustly-based articles, I can desist from trying to improve articles covering subjects I happen to have researched for other purposes and spend my life on more productive enterprises. Vogel Era ( talk) 06:30, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Dear, Philippe Ziade is a living entrepreneur and there's another Philippe Ziade on wikipedia which creating many confusion. I am an aerospace engineer and not an expert editor like you on wikipedia. I created myself the article gathering online references after watching many TV interviews featuring this guy and wanted to be my first article and learn more wikipedia tweaks to participate in other scientific articles.

Dear Gronk Oz, I have checked the reference pages for TWICE Magazine and they do work; would you consider this update worthy of inclusion on the Micro Center Wikipedia page?

@ Gronk Oz:@ Hertz1888: I have immediately reverted your recent edit on Amateur Astronomy [3] as deliberate vandalism. Principally, you have openly avoided WP:GF, especially saying as the reasoning that: "Undo a change which destroyed the flow, used very poor English, and introduced a personal bias into what amateurs do or don't without support." Accusing me of 'personal bias' is particularly grievous here. This is also your own opinion, and if you disagree, it is better to trying and gain a consensus. Better still, you should be more polite, and contacted me with your grievances before making unfounded statements.
The edit that was posted by me was a inadvertent mistake, as it was my own draft and not the one I intended. It should not have been posted. In response, I have again edited this introductory information.
Finally, as volunteer editors here with many years experience, you should immediately consider changing your own approach here, and be less provocative or harsh. Arianewiki1 ( talk) 02:44, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
@ Arianewiki1: It's my turn to admit an error - looking at the Diff, I got the orange and blue highlighting mixed up. Indeed, you added the observatory mention, not removed it. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive that mistake of mine. To move forward, I can only repeat that the proper action if your edits are reverted is to discuss the relative merits of different options on the article's Talk page. Don't start an edit war by reverting other editors' reversions. I will not take part in such an edit war. What goes into the article is not up to you and me; Wikipedia operates on a general consensus among editors. Taking it to the Talk page allows more editors to contribute their views, which produces a better article in the end result - and that's why we are here.-- Gronk Oz ( talk) 12:57, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
On 26 September 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Alan Duffy (astronomer), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that astronomer Alan Duffy is constructing a dark matter detector 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) underground in a gold mine? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Alan Duffy (astronomer). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Alan Duffy (astronomer)), 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.

Dear Mr Gronk Oz,
As you see,this is my first wikipedia article /info/en/?search=Half_Major .Since I am more of a novice,thank you for correcting and helping me with the references.I have deleted the lines where citations were needed and made the information minimum.I have also corrected the links in the References section and you may see that the links are not expired.I have also added a category section. The second link is that of a bengali newspaper.The performances of this band is reported in the 2nd page of that daily.Since I am fluent in both Bengali and English I have taken references from this daily.The information is 100% genuine,assured.I have also corrected a few more things.
I am grateful for your suggestions and have tried to make it authentic as much as possible.

Hi Gronk Oz.
I just wanted to ask a question about List of fictional crossovers regarding the Finishing story plot lines section:
In that section, it mentions that The Doctor encounters the character Death's Head in the Death's Head series. While I know this might not be a major thing, the only Doctor that crossed-over with Death's Head is the 7th Doctor. To go further, Death's Head originally met the 7th Doctor in issue #135 of Doctor Who Magazine, when the former collided with the Doctor's TARDIS.
Now normally, I wouldn't go and edit this page without sources, but if you could look into this & let me know whether or not you think I should make an edit to change "The Doctor" to "The 7th Doctor", I'd be much grateful.
Thanks again,

... for copy-editing Johannes Kalitzke. Why you have to tag a new article under development, I don't know. If you feel you have to (but for whom?) take the right tag, "inline", when plenty of sources are there under External links. Articles from the German Wikipedia are typically sourced only by literature, not inline. Give me seven days please, next time, to adjust to en standards and make it ready for DYK. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 09:49, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know about that, @ Gerda Arendt: unfortunately, I don't feel I am competent to review it because the major source is in German, and I do not speak German at all. However, I do have a couple of comments to offer:

Hi Gronk Oz. There is a company called SnatchBot who have repeatedly tried to create a Wiki page. They've contacted me and I do believe they are noteworthy, although they might not have been at the time of their earlier attempts. If you have a moment, could you give your own opinion on this? I ask, because you were one of the people who rejected the earlier versions. These are the references they have given me:
I've also posted these in /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Business_and_economics/Companies/M-S but as you are aware, such requests are not usually addressed.
For full disclosure, I acknowledge that if the SnatchBot page is created, they will pay me, so maybe I'm being biased in my examination of these sources. That's something you can take into account.
Cheers,
Jean JeanBennel ( talk) 12:31, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
Thanks Gronk Oz, I appreciate the time you spent looking into the references. For now, I'll leave it as a request for the company entry to be made and see if any kind editor will take it up. And I shall advise the company to win a few awards! Cheers JeanBennel ( talk) 23:52, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Cover of Planet X - The 2017 Arrival.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 19:10, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi Gronk Oz. Thank you so much for assisting in improving my article. I've also added 2 additional references since you helped fill gaps and cleanup when this initial proposed deletion came up. I'm wanting to get on the right path to fully contending and keeping a proposed deleted article. The major thing that will help is to base the already 23 references provided that were validated and are not so much in question. I've familiarized myself with as many Wikipedia policies and guidelines as possible, but would like to please ask for your assistance and voice to also be present on the talk page and disputing the proposed deletion of Bryan_Earl_Kreutz. It's very refreshing to have someone like you meticulously review all references and help improve the page by taking sources seriously. There seems to be a point about notability in reference to the release date of 1 of 2 of Bryan's most notable roles. This has proven to be correct by me now and not the admin after the proposed deletion in two referenced instances... IMDb and on the films trailer at the end that shows 1-1-2018 as a release. The rest of the article also has 5 other Wikipedia pages of notability for the name Bryan Kreutz as notable TV/Film/radio producer/acting roles that link to it. Your help and voice are greatly appreciated. Techform ( talk) 16:48, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Gronk Oz Also I want to mention I'm waiting until you advice on the next best course of action for the above references before stooping down to this other Admin's level who appears to be marginalizing to a minimal mention in the lowest degree every reference. Kreutz's has several mentions by his first name in these below referenced sources she states are only one mention. Lastly the Play Channel Magazine article was a anecdote joke and nod to the actor by the same name of the journalist Neil McDonald who wrote the article so it is independent. Not sure again if I should address that yet? Please let me know and thank you for your help

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Paul Louis Harrell, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Coulter ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I assume the name correction feature is automatic or according to the MOS but this edit is wrong. Icelandic people, people from Nordic countries in general, especially historically, were named according to the patronymic naming system, (see Icelandic names), so Helgi G. Thordersen is more or less Helgi son of Thor, Thordersen is not a surname and he would always be referred to by first name, even formally. A child of his would be Name + Helgi - ending. I think this naming system is a common enough occurrence but obscure enough that I should point it out to you. Prince of Thieves ( talk) 13:28, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Also how they met due to an article he wrote in 1993 about her father which was pretty rude. They met a couple years later & in time mended the rift about the article & that's when they started dating. Am getting nowhere in adding this.

Hi Thanks for replying to my thread. I'm very new to wiki back end and it's really confusing. I'm working with Steve Hughes. He is a really good radio presenter with loads of experience and has been in a lot of movies and commercials so is a worth while actor. Sure, he isn't Brad Pitt, but I do believe he deserves his own page for the good he does in the community and his years of diverse interesting living. You mention the Articles for Consideration and Autobiography pages which I've read. Do you know of someone that could write the article on Steve to varify the facts? His IMDB page has his acting filmography, the OneFM page shows his current radio credentials ( http://onefm.co.za/members/steve-hughes/). Thanks for your input and help.

Thanks for all corrections. It is AZUPANE-Lagunillas. I only found it in the text in capital letters. You are welcome to correct it if I missed one.

Corrected link to the article: Azupane–Lagunillas.
I did no deal myself with the capitalization in the title. It was someone else. I thought that person had changed it in the page, but now I see it is not the case. I want to change the title in the page and write AZUPANE in capital letters. Is it possible? Could you do it for me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Isamares ( talk • contribs) 08:41, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
Thanks a lot! The name of that school was AZUPANE-Lagunillas. If they write Azupane-Lagunillas the article is about a school that never existed. It´s simply a lie. If it could not be changed it would be better to eliminate the page. Thanks again for your cooperation. -- Isamares ( talk) 07:59, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
I just saw that the person who made the mistake restored the capital letters, thanks to your help. I appreciate it. I must say that after reading the explanation he gave about why he has changed the capital letters I was astonished. This is certainly not a reason to change the name of a page. That person obviously did not even read the article!
Thanks a lot. I am deeply grateful.-- Isamares ( talk) 14:57, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
I am not sure I understood. On my side I could edit the first paragraph as follows:
AZUPANE-Lagunillas (Zulia Association of Parents and Friends for Children with Special Needs-Lagunillas District) was the first school for children with learning disabilities in the western region of Zulia, Venezuela.
I guess you refer to something else, don´t you? In any case this would be the name of AZUPANE-Lagunillas in English.-- Isamares ( talk) 08:30, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
I made minor changes on that and I take it for granted that the page is now OK. Tnanks for your help.--

Hi there, unfortunately I’ve had issues continuing our discussion on the Epping discussion, as Wikipedia seems to have a glitch. Sorry for not signing my posts. You made a good statement. My main purpose was to tell you there are not enough resources to show that Sydney is part of “great western Sydney”. Your statement on the media describing the area as north west time to time is correct, however suburbs such as Hunters Hill, Wahroonga and Normanhurst to name a few, have also been stated as North-West by the media due to their geographic location from the Sydney CBD. The only source provided to state that Epping is west of some sort, is by the Department of Planning and Infrastructure, which doesn’t even say its “Great Western Sydney”. I can’t find any other source to describe Epping as being in that region. The reference of Epping being considered as part of the North Shore is also seen in this documentary describing the tragedy of the Lin Family murders provided In a documentary with channel 7, on the series “Tonight”. The documentary was called “Brenda Lin: Soul Survivor. Other references are like I said, by businesses. This doesn’t make Epping part of the North Shore, however in describing the suburb on the article, it will help readers understand the confusion as Epping is the “in between” of various regions.

Hi there, Please forgive me for such a late response to your last edit. I recently tumbled across this news article referring to Epping as the North Shore once again. https://www.9news.com.au/2018/08/24/06/39/epping-train-station-stabbing-police-investigation
This is another prime example of suburbs between Epping and Thornleigh being referred to as the North Shore, including surrounding suburbs such as Macquarie Park and Marsfield.
The different wording I propose would be “Epping is sometimes referred to as the North Shore” or “Epping is part of the Northern Suburbs and North Shore regions.” This could be used on suburbs that are frequently referred to as the North Shore that sit against lane Cove National Park. In particular, North Ryde, Macquarie Park, Marsfield, East Ryde, Beecroft and Pennant Hills. This would make a clearer perception for readers and researchers.
Would love to have your help, thank you.

Hello Gronk Oz. I have thought it useful for me to update Wikipedia articles on subjects that I am researching for other purposes. I use a small subset of information I gather for Wikipedia updates and, of course, only published material can be used for the Wikipedia articles. (One can usually tell where I have been - there is typically one or two citation reference numbers at the end of each sentence.) Where I have information from unpublished sources, I do not use or reference it in a Wikipedia article.
What should one do when articles are subsequently damaged by people who don't know a subject well, use one or two references out of context to justify a position, and then doggedly re-edit an article to suit their conclusion? I don't see value in citing 30-50 published articles - resulting in a string of 30-50 superscript citation numbers - after single a word to try to demonstrate that a term I have used really is the term that was used for the item concerned. I don't really have an interest in a combative "s/he who edits last wins and proves reality." If people were interested in working collegially to identify the best way to present material, that would be good. But where they have only their own preferences and insist on that being what goes into Wikipedia, point scoring rather than good articles seems to be the objective.
Can you advise? If there is no place in Wikipedia for well-crafted, robustly-based articles, I can desist from trying to improve articles covering subjects I happen to have researched for other purposes and spend my life on more productive enterprises. Vogel Era ( talk) 06:30, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

@ Gronk Oz:@ Hertz1888: I have immediately reverted your recent edit on Amateur Astronomy [3] as deliberate vandalism. Principally, you have openly avoided WP:GF, especially saying as the reasoning that: "Undo a change which destroyed the flow, used very poor English, and introduced a personal bias into what amateurs do or don't without support." Accusing me of 'personal bias' is particularly grievous here. This is also your own opinion, and if you disagree, it is better to trying and gain a consensus. Better still, you should be more polite, and contacted me with your grievances before making unfounded statements.
The edit that was posted by me was a inadvertent mistake, as it was my own draft and not the one I intended. It should not have been posted. In response, I have again edited this introductory information.
Finally, as volunteer editors here with many years experience, you should immediately consider changing your own approach here, and be less provocative or harsh. Arianewiki1 ( talk) 02:44, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
@ Arianewiki1: It's my turn to admit an error - looking at the Diff, I got the orange and blue highlighting mixed up. Indeed, you added the observatory mention, not removed it. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive that mistake of mine. To move forward, I can only repeat that the proper action if your edits are reverted is to discuss the relative merits of different options on the article's Talk page. Don't start an edit war by reverting other editors' reversions. I will not take part in such an edit war. What goes into the article is not up to you and me; Wikipedia operates on a general consensus among editors. Taking it to the Talk page allows more editors to contribute their views, which produces a better article in the end result - and that's why we are here.-- Gronk Oz ( talk) 12:57, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi Gronk Oz.
I just wanted to ask a question about List of fictional crossovers regarding the Finishing story plot lines section:
In that section, it mentions that The Doctor encounters the character Death's Head in the Death's Head series. While I know this might not be a major thing, the only Doctor that crossed-over with Death's Head is the 7th Doctor. To go further, Death's Head originally met the 7th Doctor in issue #135 of Doctor Who Magazine, when the former collided with the Doctor's TARDIS.
Now normally, I wouldn't go and edit this page without sources, but if you could look into this & let me know whether or not you think I should make an edit to change "The Doctor" to "The 7th Doctor", I'd be much grateful.
Thanks again,

... for copy-editing Johannes Kalitzke. Why you have to tag a new article under development, I don't know. If you feel you have to (but for whom?) take the right tag, "inline", when plenty of sources are there under External links.

Hi Gronk Oz. There is a company called SnatchBot who have repeatedly tried to create a Wiki page. They've contacted me and I do believe they are noteworthy, although they might not have been at the time of their earlier attempts. If you have a moment, could you give your own opinion on this? I ask, because you were one of the people who rejected the earlier versions. These are the references they have given me:
I've also posted these in /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Business_and_economics/Companies/M-S but as you are aware, such requests are not usually addressed.
For full disclosure, I acknowledge that if the SnatchBot page is created, they will pay me, so maybe I'm being biased in my examination of these sources. That's something you can take into account.
Cheers,

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 19:10, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi Gronk Oz. Thank you so much for assisting in improving my article. I've also added 2 additional references since you helped fill gaps and cleanup when this initial proposed deletion came up. I'm wanting to get on the right path to fully contending and keeping a proposed deleted article. The major thing that will help is to base the already 23 references provided that were validated and are not so much in question. I've familiarized myself with as many Wikipedia policies and guidelines as possible, but would like to please ask for your assistance and voice to also be present on the talk page and disputing the proposed deletion of Bryan_Earl_Kreutz. It's very refreshing to have someone like you meticulously review all references and help improve the page by taking sources seriously. There seems to be a point about notability in reference to the release date of 1 of 2 of Bryan's most notable roles. This has proven to be correct by me now and not the admin after the proposed deletion in two referenced instances... IMDb and on the films trailer at the end that shows 1-1-2018 as a release. The rest of the article also has 5 other Wikipedia pages of notability for the name Bryan Kreutz as notable TV/Film/radio producer/acting roles that link to it. Your help and voice are greatly appreciated. Techform ( talk) 16:48, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Gronk Oz Also I want to mention I'm waiting until you advice on the next best course of action for the above references before stooping down to this other Admin's level who appears to be marginalizing to a minimal mention in the lowest degree every reference. Kreutz's has several mentions by his first name in these below referenced sources she states are only one mention. Lastly the Play Channel Magazine article was a anecdote joke and nod to the actor by the same name of the journalist Neil McDonald who wrote the article so it is independent. Not sure again if I should address that yet? Please let me know and thank you for your help

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Paul Louis Harrell, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Coulter ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

I assume the name correction feature is automatic or according to the MOS but this edit is wrong. Icelandic people, people from Nordic countries in general, especially historically, were named according to the patronymic naming system, (see Icelandic names), so Helgi G. Thordersen is more or less Helgi son of Thor, Thordersen is not a surname and he would always be referred to by first name, even formally. A child of his would be Name + Helgi - ending. I think this naming system is a common enough occurrence but obscure enough that I should point it out to you. Prince of Thieves ( talk) 13:28, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Thanks for replying to my thread. I'm very new to wiki back end and it's really confusing. I'm working with Steve Hughes. He is a really good radio presenter with loads of experience and has been in a lot of movies and commercials so is a worth while actor. Sure, he isn't Brad Pitt, but I do believe he deserves his own page for the good he does in the community and his years of diverse interesting living. You mention the Articles for Consideration and Autobiography pages which I've read. Do you know of someone that could write the article on Steve to varify the facts?

I just saw that the person who made the mistake restored the capital letters, thanks to your help. I appreciate it. I must say that after reading the explanation he gave about why he has changed the capital letters I was astonished. This is certainly not a reason to change the name of a page. That person obviously did not even read the article!

I guess you refer to something else, don´t you? In any case this would be the name of AZUPANE-Lagunillas in English.-- Isamares ( talk) 08:30, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
I made minor changes on that and I take it for granted that the page is now OK. Tnanks for your help.--

Hi there, unfortunately I’ve had issues continuing our discussion on the Epping discussion, as Wikipedia seems to have a glitch. Sorry for not signing my posts. You made a good statement. My main purpose was to tell you there are not enough resources to show that Sydney is part of “great western Sydney”. Your statement on the media describing the area as north west time to time is correct, however suburbs such as Hunters Hill, Wahroonga and Normanhurst to name a few, have also been stated as North-West by the media due to their geographic location from the Sydney CBD. The only source provided to state that Epping is west of some sort, is by the Department of Planning and Infrastructure, which doesn’t even say its “Great Western Sydney”. I can’t find any other source to describe Epping as being in that region. The reference of Epping being considered as part of the North Shore is also seen in this documentary describing the tragedy of the Lin Family murders provided In a documentary with channel 7, on the series “Tonight”. The documentary was called “Brenda Lin: Soul Survivor. Other references are like I said, by businesses. This doesn’t make Epping part of the North Shore, however in describing the suburb on the article, it will help readers understand the confusion as Epping is the “in between” of various regions.

Hi there, Please forgive me for such a late response to your last edit. I recently tumbled across this news article referring to Epping as the North Shore once again. https://www.9news.com.au/2018/08/24/06/39/epping-train-station-stabbing-police-investigation
This is another prime example of suburbs between Epping and Thornleigh being referred to as the North Shore, including surrounding suburbs such as Macquarie Park and Marsfield.
The different wording I propose would be “Epping is sometimes referred to as the North Shore” or “Epping is part of the Northern Suburbs and North Shore regions.” This could be used on suburbs that are frequently referred to as the North Shore that sit against lane Cove National Park. In particular, North Ryde, Macquarie Park, Marsfield, East Ryde, Beecroft and Pennant Hills. This would make a clearer perception for readers and researchers.
Would love to have your help, thank you.
