Can you please double check the speedy deletion of Eric Casebolt? I contested an A7 on it last night after I saw it on NPP; at the time it had a credible claim of significance in the article (patrolman of the year award).

Do you have any impression on the video that was just added to the Aikido article. It was part of a serial addition of videos which I found not well placed or thought out. I removed the one in Jujutsu since it clearly did not represent a good general example but I am somewhat hesitant to do that for the aikido one. I admit to not liking it and don't think that it is truely representative of what aikido is - but then again the idea of a video example is not that bad. I can't replace it with one of my favorites since that would probably raise someone else's hackles. Any thoughts? Peter Rehse ( talk) 15:48, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Yunshui
I noticed the following nonsense words on the page regarding "European Convention on Human Rights": "Rammus" and "ducknappings"
Paragraph 2: 'Judgments finding violations are binding on the States concerned and they are obliged to Rammus them. The Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe monitors the execution of ducknappings, particularly to ensure...'
I didn't correct the article as I wasn't sure what the original words were.
Kind regards

Buttlerking ( talk · contribs) is an obvious sock of Stubes99. The account name is very similar with the name of a previously confirmed sock ( User:Burtlerking ( talk · contribs)).

hello sir, i just wanted to ask u that why did u delete the page Harry Lewis (Gamer). he is a youtube celebrity, he has over 4.5 million subscriber, almost a billion views, they are many people on wiki with even less subscribers and views.

I am feeling rather pleased with myself because I spotted an error in Wikipedia that was deliberately introduced into Catshark by an apparently new editor 13 months ago. Admittedly I found it by chance, but I thought the statement "Catsharks are found in temperate and tropical seas worldwide, ranging from very shallow intertidal waters to depths of 3 m (9.8 ft) or more, depending on species" seemed a bit odd so I looked up the source cited. I found that the maximum depth should be 2000 metres not 3 and that had been what the article stated until 20th May 2014. I left a warning notice on the Jaboober123's talk page but he had only ever made a single edit. Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 19:16, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Can you do me a favour and take a look at Tadashi Abe. It was put up for AfD (I think in response to my AfDing another article) but that's not the issue. Several references from the ariticle were removed as being non-RS but, and this is why I'm asking, that included Aikido Journal and AikiNews. This has pretty strong ramifications for a lot of aikido articles. I do think Aikido Journal (which in its AikiNews form) was actually published is a reliable source as is the Aikido Encyclopedia which was also published in hard form - but is it? Is there a way to have that determined? And if not what does that mean for the majority of aikido articles? Should they be removed like that? Peter Rehse ( talk) 20:31, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi Yunshui,
Thanks for the prompt response to my appeal in ArbCom titled 'Talk Page Etiquette'. You asked me to go to Dispute Resolution first. I went there, and chose request for Mediation for the concerned page which is /info/en/?search=Talk:Adi_Shankara , but it is not letting me file the appeal at the Mediation page. I am seeing on my screen the following words:
You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:The page title or edit you have tried to create has been restricted to administrators at this time. It matches an entry on the local or global blacklists, which is usually used to prevent vandalism.
If you receive this message when trying to edit, create or move an existing page, follow these instructions:
Any administrator can create or move this page for you. Please post a request at the Administrators' noticeboard. You may also contact any administrator on their talk page or by email. Be sure to specify the exact title (especially by linking it) of the page you are trying to create or edit, and if it might be misunderstood (for example, an article with an unusual name), consider explaining briefly what you want to do. If you wrote any text, save it temporarily on your computer until you can edit the page.
Thank you.
Are you able to help me? Soham321 ( talk) 10:12, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
But when you do the "start over" you are still remaining within the same section header. It is not the same as moving an edit from one section header to another section header, deleting a section header permanently, or moving an edit (your own as well as of others) from an earlier section header to a newly created section header. It makes it difficult to follow talk page discussions and know what exactly is going on if edits start being transferred from one section header to another; an edit which is a reply to some edit is transferred and made to appear as being a reply to some other edit. Whether i was in the wrong in reverting him is a separate matter. In retrospect i was indeed wrong to have reverted him and i apologize both to you and i will also apologize to him. Soham321 ( talk) 11:11, 2 July 2015 (UTC)When a long discussion has many indents, the discussion may be awkward to read, particularly on smaller screens. Eventually, for everyone's convenience, a replying editor will "start over" by responding without any colons at all. The
template can be used for this purpose.

Hello Yunshui! I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about your SPI you opened. I learned that a page I had previously been interested in, Francisco D'Agostino was deleted by a user discovered in your SPI, Secretsources. I am wondering what was the abuse this user was doing. Was it someone active on E-Lance or something doing paid edits?
Here is my concern: On Derwick Associates there was a user, User:FergusM1970, who admitted to have been paid to edit the page and remove any controversy from the page. Then, the page, and those of its owners have undergone considerable sock puppet campaigns. Here was one that was proven: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Naruto2839/Archive
Its apparent that the actual firm was very concerned about its image and paid for people to get this content off. Francisco D'Agostino is one of the principal's involved in the case and his page was deleted by this user uncovered in your SPI ( /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Francisco_D%27Agostino). So I am wondering, what was the nature of their abuse? Were these accounts used for paid editing on Wikipedia? Is there enough evidence for me to conclude my suspicions hold water?
Would love to hear back from you. Righteousskills ( talk) 02:00, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
Thank you both for your responses. This has been very helpful and I believe, although not with absolute certainty, there is cause to believe this was a PR firm hired by several figures in the public eye, Francisco D'Agostino or Derwick Associates included. Thank you for your time and diligence. Righteousskills ( talk) 17:12, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi Yunshui, can you close this thing here!, seems like lot of edit warring and tried to close the RFC myself but as you can see here, I was "branded" and put aside its just bad politics , please close this issue (I do not know if you could be again catagorised and branded for this! ) Shrikanthv ( talk) 05:10, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello, Yunshui. Just a question about CSD; every once in a while during my new pages patrol, I'll come across an article which is certainly eligible for CSD, but doesn't quite fit snugly into one of the categories. Specifically, I had a difficult time making up my mind in this article and eventually tagged it as A1. Was this an appropriate tagging by the appropriate category?

Dear Yunshui.
When i was searching for Sujit Meher on google, I wondered why Sujit Meher's article got speedy deleted .I checked the reason about your deletion of Sujit Meher page is insufficient reference links. Sujit Meher was there for 2 years, then it speedy deleted by you which is a page of a famous young designer of India and placed among to 10 designers list of India [1] also his official page verified by facebook itself [2] because of this popularity and fan base. Please i request you to kindly go through this matter and try to restore it. I have given some summery about Sujit Meher with many media references and other valid articles. Sujit Meher (b. 1989) is a young Fashion designer cum entrepreneur based in Bangalore, India and an alumnus of National Institute of Fashion Technology. Sujit in his graduation days launched a label called "Tilottama"[ [3] [4] that aimed to create designs for social causes with main focus to preserve Sambalpuri Indian Handloom art. In September 2013 he collaborated with a Bangalore based social organized and showcased his first Handloom design collection with the theme name of Folk fashion. Sujit Blends Ikat with his signature handloom fusion style. [5]In 2014 Sujit awarded as Designer-cum-entrepreneur award by GCC, Group in Bangalore and became listed among top 10 influential alumni of NIFT. [6] [7] [8] [1] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] I hope that you can recheck it and consider to republish it again. If you think there are some words may lead to misunderstanding, can you let me know and I will revise it. Thank you so much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Celebtech ( talk • contribs) 18:03, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi there and hope you can help. I wrote an article on a well known company is Israel that works all over the world. At first it was declined due to sources - so I added many and edit the article, Than again for sources when i was told the biggest news site in Israel is not reliable which is simply not correct (ynet is the most biggest news site in Israel) and now again its declined for a whole new reason. It feels like there is a cause to not approving my article and I do not understand why... it's an important article on an important company that helps children (they are working with low income and pro bono many times).

Hi, I added a small section on a recent major incident in reddit that involve its official stance on free speech. This section got reverted [17] by an editor because he thought reddit is not a reliable source of information. That is despite the fact that the references either came from post of a known reddit account of Steve Huffman or a post that cites several reliable sources. I undid [18] the revert by adding two reliable sources one of which is from Forbes that directly discussed this current situation.
Rather than suffering more indignity of being reverted by yet another elitic Wikipedia participant, I'd like to enlist your help to make this Wikipedia-compliant.
I also like to not that the person who reverted me ( User_talk:Smyth) has been warned previously [19] for exhibiting similarly unhelpful behaviour. I understand his behaviour is not your responsibility, but I'd like to point out that the majority of content originate from casual users and attitude such as those exhibited by User_talk:Smyth is a big turn off, especially when the content in question is not in dispute and could've been made appropriate with a little cooperation.

Hey there, sorry for the annoying inane request.

As good as touch-screen technology is, sometimes it can be a real pain in the arse. I even lost my rollback because I kept hitting it accidentally! Cassianto Talk 08:07, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
Hmm. I was waiting to see what other edits came before blocking, because while at present there is no justification for more than a soft block, it seems a good bet that the person involved is a blocked editor, and would soon have started unambiguous vandalism and/or trolling, and if so, then a soft block would just allow him or her to come back with another, less blatant, account, or without an account, and perhaps get away with vandalism for a while. However, you decided to go ahead and block, and that may have been the better choice: it's impossible to know. The editor who uses the pseudonym " JamesBWatson" ( talk) 12:25, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
Guy said "Anyone is free to edit any of the above if I made an error (wrong diff, wrong time, etc.) just silently fix it". His diff covered 15 successive edits, and I clarified that without changing the diff or even touching Guy's description. Your objection is what, precisely?— Kww( talk) 13:37, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
Kww, did it ever occur to you to drop me a note on my talk page saying something like "I made the following edit (diff). It might be viewed as more of an expansion than a correction, so I wanted to see if you are OK with the edit. If not I will move it to the comments section" when you made the edit? I would have shrugged, thought "sure, why not? It does no harm." and said OK. Now that I have looked at it more carefully in the light of the edit/revert and especially in the light of the intended audience (sitting arbcom members), I agree with Yunshui. Feel free to point out that it was done in stages in the comment section if you think arbcom won't catch that from the range of times and from examining the diff.
I would also point out that as far as I can tell not a single person at ANI or arbcom has indicated that they have the slightest objection to your initial removal of unsourced material on either page. I certainly don't. It was a good deletion and a proper use of the "R" in BRD. This is true whether it was done all at once or in stages. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 18:35, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

I am feeling rather pleased with myself because I spotted an error in Wikipedia that was deliberately introduced into Catshark by an apparently new editor 13 months ago. Admittedly I found it by chance, but I thought the statement "Catsharks are found in temperate and tropical seas worldwide, ranging from very shallow intertidal waters to depths of 3 m (9.8 ft) or more, depending on species" seemed a bit odd so I looked up the source cited. I found that the maximum depth should be 2000 metres not 3 and that had been what the article stated until 20th May 2014. I left a warning notice on the Jaboober123's talk page but he had only ever made a single edit. Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 19:16, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Can you do me a favour and take a look at Tadashi Abe. It was put up for AfD (I think in response to my AfDing another article) but that's not the issue. Several references from the ariticle were removed as being non-RS but, and this is why I'm asking, that included Aikido Journal and AikiNews. This has pretty strong ramifications for a lot of aikido articles. I do think Aikido Journal (which in its AikiNews form) was actually published is a reliable source as is the Aikido Encyclopedia which was also published in hard form - but is it? Is there a way to have that determined? And if not what does that mean for the majority of aikido articles? Should they be removed like that? Peter Rehse ( talk) 20:31, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi Yunshui,
Thanks for the prompt response to my appeal in ArbCom titled 'Talk Page Etiquette'. You asked me to go to Dispute Resolution first. I went there, and chose request for Mediation for the concerned page which is /info/en/?search=Talk:Adi_Shankara , but it is not letting me file the appeal at the Mediation page. I am seeing on my screen the following words:
You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:The page title or edit you have tried to create has been restricted to administrators at this time. It matches an entry on the local or global blacklists, which is usually used to prevent vandalism.
If you receive this message when trying to edit, create or move an existing page, follow these instructions:
Any administrator can create or move this page for you. Please post a request at the Administrators' noticeboard. You may also contact any administrator on their talk page or by email. Be sure to specify the exact title (especially by linking it) of the page you are trying to create or edit, and if it might be misunderstood (for example, an article with an unusual name), consider explaining briefly what you want to do. If you wrote any text, save it temporarily on your computer until you can edit the page.
Thank you.
Are you able to help me? Soham321 ( talk) 10:12, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
But when you do the "start over" you are still remaining within the same section header. It is not the same as moving an edit from one section header to another section header, deleting a section header permanently, or moving an edit (your own as well as of others) from an earlier section header to a newly created section header. It makes it difficult to follow talk page discussions and know what exactly is going on if edits start being transferred from one section header to another; an edit which is a reply to some edit is transferred and made to appear as being a reply to some other edit. Whether i was in the wrong in reverting him is a separate matter. In retrospect i was indeed wrong to have reverted him and i apologize both to you and i will also apologize to him. Soham321 ( talk) 11:11, 2 July 2015 (UTC)When a long discussion has many indents, the discussion may be awkward to read, particularly on smaller screens. Eventually, for everyone's convenience, a replying editor will "start over" by responding without any colons at all. The
template can be used for this purpose.

Hello Yunshui! I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about your SPI you opened. I learned that a page I had previously been interested in, Francisco D'Agostino was deleted by a user discovered in your SPI, Secretsources. I am wondering what was the abuse this user was doing. Was it someone active on E-Lance or something doing paid edits?
Here is my concern: On Derwick Associates there was a user, User:FergusM1970, who admitted to have been paid to edit the page and remove any controversy from the page. Then, the page, and those of its owners have undergone considerable sock puppet campaigns. Here was one that was proven: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Naruto2839/Archive
Its apparent that the actual firm was very concerned about its image and paid for people to get this content off. Francisco D'Agostino is one of the principal's involved in the case and his page was deleted by this user uncovered in your SPI ( /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Francisco_D%27Agostino). So I am wondering, what was the nature of their abuse? Were these accounts used for paid editing on Wikipedia? Is there enough evidence for me to conclude my suspicions hold water?
Would love to hear back from you. Righteousskills ( talk) 02:00, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
Thank you both for your responses. This has been very helpful and I believe, although not with absolute certainty, there is cause to believe this was a PR firm hired by several figures in the public eye, Francisco D'Agostino or Derwick Associates included. Thank you for your time and diligence. Righteousskills ( talk) 17:12, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi Yunshui, can you close this thing here!, seems like lot of edit warring and tried to close the RFC myself but as you can see here, I was "branded" and put aside its just bad politics , please close this issue (I do not know if you could be again catagorised and branded for this! ) Shrikanthv ( talk) 05:10, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello, Yunshui. Just a question about CSD; every once in a while during my new pages patrol, I'll come across an article which is certainly eligible for CSD, but doesn't quite fit snugly into one of the categories. Specifically, I had a difficult time making up my mind in this article and eventually tagged it as A1. Was this an appropriate tagging by the appropriate category?

Dear Yunshui.
When i was searching for Sujit Meher on google, I wondered why Sujit Meher's article got speedy deleted .I checked the reason about your deletion of Sujit Meher page is insufficient reference links. Sujit Meher was there for 2 years, then it speedy deleted by you which is a page of a famous young designer of India and placed among to 10 designers list of India [1] also his official page verified by facebook itself [2] because of this popularity and fan base. Please i request you to kindly go through this matter and try to restore it. I have given some summery about Sujit Meher with many media references and other valid articles. Sujit Meher (b. 1989) is a young Fashion designer cum entrepreneur based in Bangalore, India and an alumnus of National Institute of Fashion Technology. Sujit in his graduation days launched a label called "Tilottama"[ [3] [4] that aimed to create designs for social causes with main focus to preserve Sambalpuri Indian Handloom art. In September 2013 he collaborated with a Bangalore based social organized and showcased his first Handloom design collection with the theme name of Folk fashion. Sujit Blends Ikat with his signature handloom fusion style. [5]In 2014 Sujit awarded as Designer-cum-entrepreneur award by GCC, Group in Bangalore and became listed among top 10 influential alumni of NIFT. [6] [7] [8] [1] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] I hope that you can recheck it and consider to republish it again. If you think there are some words may lead to misunderstanding, can you let me know and I will revise it. Thank you so much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Celebtech ( talk • contribs) 18:03, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for blocking this user. I do not know what this person's problem is, she has bullied me in real life and on Facebook in the past and since I ended all communications with her, she moved onto Wikipedia and somehow found me. If I continue to see activity from this sock farm, I will file a sockpuppet investigation to shut her down as this drama has gone too far. NHRHS2010 RIP M.H. (1994-2014) 10:21, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi there and hope you can help. I wrote an article on a well known company is Israel that works all over the world. At first it was declined due to sources - so I added many and edit the article, Than again for sources when i was told the biggest news site in Israel is not reliable which is simply not correct (ynet is the most biggest news site in Israel) and now again its declined for a whole new reason. It feels like there is a cause to not approving my article and I do not understand why... it's an important article on an important company that helps children (they are working with low income and pro bono many times). Can you help me please before I give up completely? Onlinejonathan ( talk) 08:43, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I added a small section on a recent major incident in reddit that involve its official stance on free speech. This section got reverted [17] by an editor because he thought reddit is not a reliable source of information. That is despite the fact that the references either came from post of a known reddit account of Steve Huffman or a post that cites several reliable sources. I undid [18] the revert by adding two reliable sources one of which is from Forbes that directly discussed this current situation.
Rather than suffering more indignity of being reverted by yet another elitic Wikipedia participant, I'd like to enlist your help to make this Wikipedia-compliant.
I also like to not that the person who reverted me ( User_talk:Smyth) has been warned previously [19] for exhibiting similarly unhelpful behaviour. I understand his behaviour is not your responsibility, but I'd like to point out that the majority of content originate from casual users and attitude such as those exhibited by User_talk:Smyth is a big turn off, especially when the content in question is not in dispute and could've been made appropriate with a little cooperation.

Hey there, sorry for the annoying inane request. A year ago you salted Jacksepticeye, i came upon this article now a year later at JackSepticEye which has survived a recent AFD, do you think you can please unsalt the lower case name and move the upper case name to the name with the lowercase? That is how he bills himself, i don't mind either way as i am a casual observer but it would be a good re-direct either way, one less salted article, ha!. Thanks for your time, Cheers.

As good as touch-screen technology is, sometimes it can be a real pain in the arse. I even lost my rollback because I kept hitting it accidentally! Cassianto Talk 08:07, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
Hmm. I was waiting to see what other edits came before blocking, because while at present there is no justification for more than a soft block, it seems a good bet that the person involved is a blocked editor, and would soon have started unambiguous vandalism and/or trolling, and if so, then a soft block would just allow him or her to come back with another, less blatant, account, or without an account, and perhaps get away with vandalism for a while. However, you decided to go ahead and block, and that may have been the better choice: it's impossible to know. The editor who uses the pseudonym " JamesBWatson" ( talk) 12:25, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
Guy said "Anyone is free to edit any of the above if I made an error (wrong diff, wrong time, etc.) just silently fix it". His diff covered 15 successive edits, and I clarified that without changing the diff or even touching Guy's description. Your objection is what, precisely?— Kww( talk) 13:37, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
Kww, did it ever occur to you to drop me a note on my talk page saying something like "I made the following edit (diff). It might be viewed as more of an expansion than a correction, so I wanted to see if you are OK with the edit. If not I will move it to the comments section" when you made the edit? I would have shrugged, thought "sure, why not? It does no harm." and said OK. Now that I have looked at it more carefully in the light of the edit/revert and especially in the light of the intended audience (sitting arbcom members), I agree with Yunshui. Feel free to point out that it was done in stages in the comment section if you think arbcom won't catch that from the range of times and from examining the diff.
I would also point out that as far as I can tell not a single person at ANI or arbcom has indicated that they have the slightest objection to your initial removal of unsourced material on either page. I certainly don't. It was a good deletion and a proper use of the "R" in BRD. This is true whether it was done all at once or in stages. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 18:35, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
