Can you help remove deletio nof /info/en/?search=Pasindu_Kumara? — Preceding unsigned comment added by පසිඳු කාවින්ද ( talk • contribs) 19:19, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
"People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject."
Through a simple Google search, it does not seem the subject meets these requirements, and the page has therefore been marked for deletion. However, if you do believe the subject is notable, you can add sources that prove the subject's notability. If you have any more questions on this, feel free to ask!

Thanks for uploading File:ThermaltakeLogo.svg. 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) 04:11, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
Hey there - contested the deletion of the Ryan Northcott page in the Talk area. Would like some guidance - the page mirrors other actors' pages and has been swept of any promotional links or items that were there previous.

Hallo, Thank you for creating The Six (film). When you create an article like this with a "disambiguated" title, please make sure that the reader can find it from the basic name (ie The Six), by adding or expanding a hatnote, or adding the article to a disambiguation page. This helps the reader to find your article, and also reduces the chance of a future careless editor creating a duplicate article with a slightly different disambiguator. I've fixed this one. Thanks, and Happy Editing. Pam D 08:26, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi! I created an article, everything seems to be good, except references. But I already added so many different sources for the notability of article's subject, including organization's website(for general info), websites of other organizations, independent news websites etc. I don't have any other sources left and some pages have a lot less resources and got accpeted. I'm wondering, what do I do wrong.. Somehow mine gets declined. Could you please help me or give me advice on how could I get it accepted? Selanna13 ( talk) 13:28, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
You and another reviewer rejected Draft:TwinMOS Technologies Middle East FZE. Thing is after submitting the draft, article creator re-create the same on main namespace (see TwinMOS).

On 28 May 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Curious George (video game), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the main menu for the 2006 video game Curious George looked so simple that a reviewer thought he had an unfinished version of the game? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Curious George (video game). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Curious George (video game)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Hi Yeeno, thank you for all the improvements to 'my' article. One point I do not understand - in the intro, you inserted "which", though the book is mentioned at the end (publisher is Inkling Books, Seattle). I do not know what this 'which' implies, a request for inserting the publ. at this position? Second point: You exchanged "mass crimes" in the intro by "mass murder", which is correct, but... the report/article also mentions other (very important in the KZ context) crimes like, e.g., the inhumane experiments on prisoners, which is kind of excluded now by the reduction to murder in the intro. I see your point, but think that this intro aspect might be further improved by some addition, but have no idea yet. Best Regards, Pittigrilli ( talk) 12:29, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
Hey, before you go any further, I have created a template for the task: Template:Oscars short description. The idea being that if we add it to all the articles, we can edit all pages at once, so that they're consistent, by just editing the template. I had some real world stuff come up, so I hadn't finished testing it or putting it on every page, but I thought it would be worth mentioning it. — HTGS ( talk) 22:18, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

) and it should do the rest.An editor asked me for feedback and help on this page. They have since submitted the page for 'Did you know' and in their response they said they have had difficulty finding Chinese sources. Because they are Pakistani and most of the sources they can find in English language are written by Pakistanis, they have received criticism over POV. This is a fairly new editor to Wikipedia who appears to be doing their very best with the article and with co-operating with other editors. I was wondering if you could help at all as I noticed on your user page that you speak Chinese, and may be better placed to find sources to balance the POV in the article and I have always found your edits to be fair and neutral.

I have removed the tag, as I believe I have solved the issue. More sources has been added, track listing has been added etc. I still find it amazing that you felt the need to flag this. The article included from the get go source with info with official Warner Music ID and production number and photo ) Furthermore, most artists on Wikipedia has extensive discography with large lists of releases on them. I still don't get how you can decide what is important or not. I ask that the article remain as it is part of a larger discography that includes various official releases added by others in the discography. This is no different.

Hello Yeeno. I see you have tagged the page for speedy deletion. I have just created it and adding more information to it. As it is a government registered weekly newspaper with a weekly circulation of 10,000 copies, it qualifies entry in Wikipedia. Before creating the page, I went through the list of Indian newspapers and it has all similar media houses. Please let me know what needs to be done here. Edwige9 ( talk) 17:51, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
Dear User:Yeeno, thank you for your message on my talk page. I believe, however, that it has been made in error. When I created the article, it was a stub.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Hi Yeeno! I noticed you reversed an edit on the page of Baraakta Qol, a city located in Somalia.

Hi @Yeeno: Unfortunately, there are no up to date books on control over the contested regions. However there is a reliable map that updates on world's countries and their borders yearly and Baraakta Qol is occupied by both unionist and seperatist forces: https://www.polgeonow.com/search/label/somalia?m=1. I recommend leaving locking the pages of the cities and regions labeled 'heavily contested' and not under government, so as not to perpetuate false claims.

Hi Yeeno, thank you for all the work you put into Dachau (US Army report). I think the article has profited a lot, and I am going to nominate it for the "GAR" process soon. I just made an edit to respond to the "clarification needed" tag in the "Historical Evaluation" section that you created. In my view, this is an elegant way to clarify the matter, as the requested citations already were/are in the next paragraph, which I now coupled to the first one. To give you some background info: The author of the cited literature (Barbara Distel) is an authority on the Dachau concentration camp and was head of the "Gedenkstätte Dachau" (KZ Dachau memoral site) for a long time. The discussed question is of extreme (sic) importance, as the discussed misinformation about the gas chambers in Dachau - which is obviously and unfortunately a part of the report - was/is part of an ongoing strange process involving Holocaust deniers and revisionists, which sometimes cite this report as an alleged "proof" for the spreading of "false informations" on gas chambers by "the Allies". You are welcome to further edit the section if you deem it appropriate. Pittigrilli ( talk) 11:59, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

I guess I am failing to see how this article does not meet Notability guidelines for organizations. I have provided 5 secondary, significant, independent and reliable sources.

References
Thanks for your help. I went ahead and addressed WP:AUD in my post on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Titan Spectator. Since the WP:AUD states that at least a statewide publication is acceptable the inclusion of the article from The Oregonian should suffice the requirement. Please let me know what you think. Alecpalm ( talk) 00:35, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
I have an article that is being rejected for "lack of in depth coverage". The article includes several of those as reference. HOWEVER, Wikipedia's guidelines for entertainers states that to meet the criteria "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." saying nothing about media.
/info/en/?search=Draft:Jaime_Adler
She has had a primary role in major theater productions in London and been nominated as Best Actress in the Olivier Awards which is the British version of the Tony Awards, the highest recognition in professional theater. She clearly meets criteria.
How do I appeal this rejection?

Welcome, subscribers, to the sixth Discontent Content newsletter! Discontent Content is a newsletter aiming to collate and improve Wikipedia articles in need of more eyes and hands to get them in shape. Its unique trimodal structure allows editors to work where they feel comfortable -- with stubs and starts needing to be brought to standard, mid-quality articles with Good or Featured potential, or quality-assessed articles needing help to maintain their status. Articles in this category are those that need to be brought up to a minimum quality standard. Some will be stubs; others will be longer articles that nonetheless have significant concerns putting them far below B- or C-class adequacy. This issue's Category 1 articles are:
Articles in this category, while in better current shape than Category 1, are still missing something. They have the potential to be truly high-quality content, and may have been at one point. With work, they can be brought up to dizzying heights. This issue's Category 2 articles are:
Articles in this category have been assessed through a content review process in the past, but may require work to be brought up to current GA/FA standard. Editors can help bring them to a level where the star or plus near their names can once again shine. This issue's Category 3 articles are:
After my prior thoughts on GA sweeps and their viability, work is beginning to break down what parts of the backlog can be tackled. Planning is beginning at User:Vaticidalprophet/GA reform and its talk; feel free to give your opinion, participate in current GARs, and assess articles. The current plan is to look at GAs with outstanding cleanup tags as our first priority. Sorry for the delay this time around -- I've been having A Month healthwise. I expect to maintain this at an approximately monthly schedule and will try not to let it slip further. I'm enthused by the work going on at GAR lately and hope to work something excellent out of it. |

Hello Yeeno,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

Yeeno, the citation to the Mainstreet Research page that was posted says it is "original research" yet every entry from the company history that was posted directly referenced the wikipedia page that contains the polling for each election that is referenced. I'm unclear why users are insisting on posting history of what is called "Sampling Controversy" when no other firms reference pages cite similar incidents. And conversely, why internally referenced polling history that is accurate was removed? I'm just an amateur at wikipedia so perhaps I'm not familiar with how references work but surely linking to another independently verified wikipedia page that contains the public opinion polling summary of all firms including Mainstreet, should be considered a reliable source. I'd like to ask that this be escalated. I've had to edit this page on this matter multiple times and its simply not coincidental that people keep posting about this with the same information, it feels like an unfair personal attack on this company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ontlib20 ( talk • contribs) 08:06, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi @yeeno Thanks for the clarification, I'm not an expert at wikipedia. I am a Canadian researcher that knows a bit about this area, if I have to declare a conflict because I know people at the firm in question, happy to do that too but my edits are fair. How can the only history of a firm being referenced be 2 polling misses and exclude dozens or hundreds of other polls they got correct. I've left the sections about the misses as well and referenced the report that were mentioned to clarify what they actually reported. I doubt the last editor took the time to read the report to validate what had been written. I think it is much more balanced now. I continue to disagree that those sections are at all consistent with content about other firms. I'm unclear why a foreign editor's opinion would take precedence over a Canadian who works in this field but like I said, I'm not an expert on Wikipedia.

Hi again @Yeeno. You've removed the reference to the report that is cited as "not reliable". If the original report that was published on which the media articles referenced by the previous editor can't be used as reliable, I would suggest the sections be removed in their entirety since the source core you've deemed unreliable. I understand that it may be dry reading for a 70 page report. That link is the same link used by the author who is cited. How can the story be considered credible and not the report it links too? This is a ridiculous process. Ontlib20 ( talk) 18:52, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
That is what the edit log said, that the source was unrealiable. Please take 5 minutes to read the Execcutive Summary at the very minimum, it clearly states that 1) "We heard that the polls impacted the outcome of the election", nowhere does it actually conclude that, the authors of the report are quoting people they interviewed. The author of the story and the previous editor are wrong. 2. "The other problem originated from the use of interactive voice response (IVR) calls, which may have overweighed the few responses of lesser contacted demographics", that is not at all what the report says. It says on page 28 and again in the conclusion that the use of Directory phone lists and not RDD was the source of the problem. If you're going to allow foreign editors with 0 knowledge of polling or Canadian politics to edit this page, these incorrect citing will continue. Please find an editor who knows the industry. Thanks Ontlib20 ( talk) 19:26, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
Last thing @yeeno because this part really confuses me "Controversy section, though I agree with you that it is larger than sections on other polling firms". I've repeatedly said this section is inconsistent with other firms. /info/en/?search=Angus_Reid_(entrepreneur)#Angus_Reid_Institute, /info/en/?search=Ekos_Research_Associates, /info/en/?search=Abacus_Data, /info/en/?search=Forum_Research, /info/en/?search=Nanos_Research. Those are the other Canadian polling firms that have a Wikipedia entry, they all have major polling misses that were heavily criticized at the time. Please point me to even a single reference to a miss or sampling error section among any Canadian pollster, there are none. [1], [2], [3].

ok @yeeno your latest comment only confirms that you need to review this with other editors. I am uncertain if you are Canadian or familiar with Canadian politics, you've admitted to not being familiar with Public Opinion Research. First, NO, the firm Mainstreet Research is quoted in the media about their work regularly, both before and after the 2017 sampling error that is referenced in their description. As a Canadian who works in this field and does brand reporting regularly. Since 2014, I'd have to guess they have 25-200 media mentions a month. I can tell you they have one of the strongest and most recognized brands in Canada in this field. Over 1 million social media views, nearly 6 million media views per month on. Don't take my word for it, do a Google Trends search, or a Google Alert search, or look at any one of dozens of media reach platforms that track this like [1] I understand you have lots of areas to cover and you are trying to stick to rules that other editors certainly know better than me, but in this case, you really are going to need to take 5 minutes (each) to 1. read the report that is referenced in the original edit regarding the sampling error. 2. Follow the links in the History section I posted, hundreds and hundreds of Mainstreet polls are cited in those pages (perhaps over 1000). 3. Search Google for Mainstreet poll or some similar search, there are thousands and thousands of media mentions, the few that reference the sampling error that are linked in that section represent a miniscule fraction of their work. If you won't take the time to do those things, please escalate this. I'm posting below just what I've found on Mainstreet polls for the past few weeks. Please take the time to do the work or hand this off. I will wait for your response, then make my edits. Please reach out to the active Wikipedia poll followers who post these polls to Wikipedia every time they release one, they can certainly inform you of the scope of their work before you delete 10 years of polling coverage and allow a section on their two poll misses.

Hello, I saw your wording changes to my section that I created for 2021. I understand that you want to make the article more easier to understand to a general audience, however, is it not safe to assume that a person reading s1mple's page would at least have the most basic knowledge of Counter-Strike? Also removing the superlative preceding his 1.83 rating I believe is unjustified, as rarely during a major does any player post such a high rating against what many to be regarded as a fairly decent team (Gambit).

Can you help remove deletio nof /info/en/?search=Pasindu_Kumara? — Preceding unsigned comment added by පසිඳු කාවින්ද ( talk • contribs) 19:19, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
"People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject."
Through a simple Google search, it does not seem the subject meets these requirements, and the page has therefore been marked for deletion. However, if you do believe the subject is notable, you can add sources that prove the subject's notability. If you have any more questions on this, feel free to ask!

Hallo, Thank you for creating The Six (film). When you create an article like this with a "disambiguated" title, please make sure that the reader can find it from the basic name (ie The Six), by adding or expanding a hatnote, or adding the article to a disambiguation page. This helps the reader to find your article, and also reduces the chance of a future careless editor creating a duplicate article with a slightly different disambiguator. I've fixed this one. Thanks, and Happy Editing. Pam D 08:26, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Yeeno, thank you for all the improvements to 'my' article. One point I do not understand - in the intro, you inserted "which", though the book is mentioned at the end (publisher is Inkling Books, Seattle). I do not know what this 'which' implies, a request for inserting the publ. at this position? Second point: You exchanged "mass crimes" in the intro by "mass murder", which is correct, but... the report/article also mentions other (very important in the KZ context) crimes like, e.g., the inhumane experiments on prisoners, which is kind of excluded now by the reduction to murder in the intro. I see your point, but think that this intro aspect might be further improved by some addition, but have no idea yet. Best Regards, Pittigrilli ( talk) 12:29, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

They have since submitted the page for 'Did you know' and in their response they said they have had difficulty finding Chinese sources. Because they are Pakistani and most of the sources they can find in English language are written by Pakistanis, they have received criticism over POV. This is a fairly new editor to Wikipedia who appears to be doing their very best with the article and with co-operating with other editors. I was wondering if you could help at all as I noticed on your user page that you speak Chinese, and may be better placed to find sources to balance the POV in the article and I have always found your edits to be fair and neutral.

Hi Yeeno, thank you for all the work you put into Dachau (US Army report). I think the article has profited a lot, and I am going to nominate it for the "GAR" process soon. I just made an edit to respond to the "clarification needed" tag in the "Historical Evaluation" section that you created. In my view, this is an elegant way to clarify the matter, as the requested citations already were/are in the next paragraph, which I now coupled to the first one. To give you some background info: The author of the cited literature (Barbara Distel) is an authority on the Dachau concentration camp and was head of the "Gedenkstätte Dachau" (KZ Dachau memoral site) for a long time. The discussed question is of extreme (sic) importance, as the discussed misinformation about the gas chambers in Dachau - which is obviously and unfortunately a part of the report - was/is part of an ongoing strange process involving Holocaust deniers and revisionists, which sometimes cite this report as an alleged "proof" for the spreading of "false informations" on gas chambers by "the Allies".

I have an article that is being rejected for "lack of in depth coverage". The article includes several of those as reference. HOWEVER, Wikipedia's guidelines for entertainers states that to meet the criteria "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." saying nothing about media.
/info/en/?search=Draft:Jaime_Adler
She has had a primary role in major theater productions in London and been nominated as Best Actress in the Olivier Awards which is the British version of the Tony Awards, the highest recognition in professional theater. She clearly meets criteria.

Welcome, subscribers, to the sixth Discontent Content newsletter! Discontent Content is a newsletter aiming to collate and improve Wikipedia articles in need of more eyes and hands to get them in shape. Its unique trimodal structure allows editors to work where they feel comfortable -- with stubs and starts needing to be brought to standard, mid-quality articles with Good or Featured potential, or quality-assessed articles needing help to maintain their status. Articles in this category are those that need to be brought up to a minimum quality standard. Some will be stubs; others will be longer articles that nonetheless have significant concerns putting them far below B- or C-class adequacy. This issue's Category 1 articles are:
Articles in this category, while in better current shape than Category 1, are still missing something. They have the potential to be truly high-quality content, and may have been at one point. With work, they can be brought up to dizzying heights. This issue's Category 2 articles are:
Articles in this category have been assessed through a content review process in the past, but may require work to be brought up to current GA/FA standard. Editors can help bring them to a level where the star or plus near their names can once again shine. This issue's Category 3 articles are:
After my prior thoughts on GA sweeps and their viability, work is beginning to break down what parts of the backlog can be tackled. Planning is beginning at User:Vaticidalprophet/GA reform and its talk; feel free to give your opinion, participate in current GARs, and assess articles. The current plan is to look at GAs with outstanding cleanup tags as our first priority. Sorry for the delay this time around -- I've been having A Month healthwise. I expect to maintain this at an approximately monthly schedule and will try not to let it slip further. I'm enthused by the work going on at GAR lately and hope to work something excellent out of it. |

Hi Yeeno,
This was my first interaction with this website and I was playing around with my name. Can you please help me with two things, because I am sure I need to spend hours reading through rules here and maybe I will not find the proper info: - my name on the official ballot is John (Chubby Hubby) Duta as you can check here (Ward 12 - https://www.calgary.ca/election/information-for-voters/candidates.html?district=ward12&officeType=councillor ) so can I put the complete name on the page? - can I put the link to my official page or in order to have a link it needs to be only internal, to another wikipedia page?
Thanks for your time and sorry for any missunderstanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Canadian20 ( talk • contribs) 07:21, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Congratulations! You have earned The Brownie for reviewing 28 drafts during the
WikiProject Articles for creation
July 2021 Backlog Drive. Thank you for your work to improve Wikipedia! On behalf of WikiProject Articles for Creation, Enterprisey ( talk!) 00:19, 5 September 2021 (UTC) |
Hello Yeeno,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:33, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
Respected Yeeno, Everything you mentioned is correct Kumuda OS is not a notable OS & doesn't have any discussions as of yet.... but there is a valid reason for that, Kumuda OS has been Officially released 2 days ago & it's obvious that I can't build audience within 2 days, I need some time to complete my website & to create & advertise on social media, so I would appreciate it if you didn't delete the wiki page.

Hello Yeeno, this Jeremy from the public relations firm Cookerly on behalf of our client Deluxe Corporation. You helped with an edit request for the Deluxe Corporation article a while back. I proposed some changes to the article's History section here and was wondering if you'd be willing to continue review of that edit? You mentioned you would return to make the other changes at a later time. Thanks! JeremyJuhasz ( talk) 18:51, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Yeeno, the citation to the Mainstreet Research page that was posted says it is "original research" yet every entry from the company history that was posted directly referenced the wikipedia page that contains the polling for each election that is referenced. I'm unclear why users are insisting on posting history of what is called "Sampling Controversy" when no other firms reference pages cite similar incidents. And conversely, why internally referenced polling history that is accurate was removed? I'm just an amateur at wikipedia so perhaps I'm not familiar with how references work but surely linking to another independently verified wikipedia page that contains the public opinion polling summary of all firms including Mainstreet, should be considered a reliable source. I'd like to ask that this be escalated. I've had to edit this page on this matter multiple times and its simply not coincidental that people keep posting about this with the same information, it feels like an unfair personal attack on this company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ontlib20 ( talk • contribs) 08:06, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi @yeeno Thanks for the clarification, I'm not an expert at wikipedia. I am a Canadian researcher that knows a bit about this area, if I have to declare a conflict because I know people at the firm in question, happy to do that too but my edits are fair. How can the only history of a firm being referenced be 2 polling misses and exclude dozens or hundreds of other polls they got correct. I've left the sections about the misses as well and referenced the report that were mentioned to clarify what they actually reported. I doubt the last editor took the time to read the report to validate what had been written. I think it is much more balanced now. I continue to disagree that those sections are at all consistent with content about other firms. I'm unclear why a foreign editor's opinion would take precedence over a Canadian who works in this field but like I said, I'm not an expert on Wikipedia. Ontlib20 ( talk) 18:33, 6 November 2021 (UTC) https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Yeeno&action=edit§ion=6
Hi again @Yeeno. You've removed the reference to the report that is cited as "not reliable". If the original report that was published on which the media articles referenced by the previous editor can't be used as reliable, I would suggest the sections be removed in their entirety since the source core you've deemed unreliable. I understand that it may be dry reading for a 70 page report. That link is the same link used by the author who is cited. How can the story be considered credible and not the report it links too? This is a ridiculous process. Ontlib20 ( talk) 18:52, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
That is what the edit log said, that the source was unrealiable. Please take 5 minutes to read the Execcutive Summary at the very minimum, it clearly states that 1) "We heard that the polls impacted the outcome of the election", nowhere does it actually conclude that, the authors of the report are quoting people they interviewed. The author of the story and the previous editor are wrong. 2. "The other problem originated from the use of interactive voice response (IVR) calls, which may have overweighed the few responses of lesser contacted demographics", that is not at all what the report says. It says on page 28 and again in the conclusion that the use of Directory phone lists and not RDD was the source of the problem. If you're going to allow foreign editors with 0 knowledge of polling or Canadian politics to edit this page, these incorrect citing will continue. Please find an editor who knows the industry. Thanks Ontlib20 ( talk) 19:26, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
Last thing @yeeno because this part really confuses me "Controversy section, though I agree with you that it is larger than sections on other polling firms". I've repeatedly said this section is inconsistent with other firms. /info/en/?search=Angus_Reid_(entrepreneur)#Angus_Reid_Institute, /info/en/?search=Ekos_Research_Associates, /info/en/?search=Abacus_Data, /info/en/?search=Forum_Research, /info/en/?search=Nanos_Research. Those are the other Canadian polling firms that have a Wikipedia entry, they all have major polling misses that were heavily criticized at the time. Please point me to even a single reference to a miss or sampling error section among any Canadian pollster, there are none. [1], [2], [3].

ok @yeeno your latest comment only confirms that you need to review this with other editors. I am uncertain if you are Canadian or familiar with Canadian politics, you've admitted to not being familiar with Public Opinion Research. First, NO, the firm Mainstreet Research is quoted in the media about their work regularly, both before and after the 2017 sampling error that is referenced in their description. As a Canadian who works in this field and does brand reporting regularly. Since 2014, I'd have to guess they have 25-200 media mentions a month. I can tell you they have one of the strongest and most recognized brands in Canada in this field. Over 1 million social media views, nearly 6 million media views per month on. Don't take my word for it, do a Google Trends search, or a Google Alert search, or look at any one of dozens of media reach platforms that track this like [1] I understand you have lots of areas to cover and you are trying to stick to rules that other editors certainly know better than me, but in this case, you really are going to need to take 5 minutes (each) to 1. read the report that is referenced in the original edit regarding the sampling error. 2. Follow the links in the History section I posted, hundreds and hundreds of Mainstreet polls are cited in those pages (perhaps over 1000). 3. Search Google for Mainstreet poll or some similar search, there are thousands and thousands of media mentions, the few that reference the sampling error that are linked in that section represent a miniscule fraction of their work. If you won't take the time to do those things, please escalate this. I'm posting below just what I've found on Mainstreet polls for the past few weeks. Please take the time to do the work or hand this off. I will wait for your response, then make my edits. Please reach out to the active Wikipedia poll followers who post these polls to Wikipedia every time they release one, they can certainly inform you of the scope of their work before you delete 10 years of polling coverage and allow a section on their two poll misses.

Hello, Yeeno. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Squidville".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 23:30, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
Hello, I saw your wording changes to my section that I created for 2021. I understand that you want to make the article more easier to understand to a general audience, however, is it not safe to assume that a person reading s1mple's page would at least have the most basic knowledge of Counter-Strike? Also removing the superlative preceding his 1.83 rating I believe is unjustified, as rarely during a major does any player post such a high rating against what many to be regarded as a fairly decent team (Gambit). Look forward to your reply. Obama gaming ( talk) 03:51, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
