I have written an article Mahatma Gandhi Central University protest which was accepted for article for creation on 27 December 2019 but some users copied text from references and links that's why this page was deleted due to copy right issue. I request you to undo the deletion and restoration the page. I'll remove all the copied text from the article and will write in my own words. It took almost 3 months to collect all the information and references to write this article. As Wikipedia plays a vital role in letting world know about the important things across the globe. Hope you'd love to help us in inclusion of one of the India's largest public universities protest to the Wikipedia so that whole world may know about it. Therefore, you are requested to think once more to undo the deletion and restoration the page. I'll try my level best to improve this article day by day and will be writing in my own word Thanking you.-- Rohitmishra111 ( talk) 14:31, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
I have summarized the independent reliable sources to write this article. It was accepted as article for creation on 27 December 2019 but it was deleted due to copy right violation when some user copied text from the sources which were Times of India, The Telegraph The wire and The Quint newspapers of India and pasted them to the article and I didn't get enough time to fix it. Now, I want to remove all the copied text from article so please help me out. Could you please restore the article once ? -- Rohitmishra111 ( talk) 14:59, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi- Last week you unblocked a user named Smith0124 for edit warring after he pledged to stop. Just so you're aware, yesterday he went on a revision rampage across numerous wikipedia articles, apparently settling family business. He's also found to be a possible sockpuppet of a indefinitely banned user, Peterjack1. Anyways, as he's reverted back to his old habits, I think you should talk with him again and consider a new block if he doesn't start accepting that wikipedia is a community and not Smith0124's personal blog on highways and parkways in the NY metropolitan area. 108.21.182.146 ( talk) 14:46, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi there,
An editor named Bastun is ensuring that the Youth Defence page is loaded, biased and incomplete. Is this acceptable in Wikipedia?
For example, he is referencing the National Library of Ireland to back up a claim that Youth Defence have 'neo nazi' links - but the claim was removed from the NLI's website almost immediately and Bastun had to rely on the wayback machine to find it. This is not fair or neutral reporting of events, and breaches Wiki standards.
One member of Youth Defence - the PRO - attended an event in Germany, that does not mean the whole organisation has 'neo-nazi' links

Hi, dot! A question for you, since I see you are active at UAA. Today I happened across a user named TrynaBallWithMyBros. It struck me as a violation of username policy as offensive, since it equates to "trying to ball with my brothers". It didn't seem bad enough for a block, but I was going to tell them to get a new username. But then I saw that this person has been editing since August 2019 and has made 39 constructive edits during that time, starting out with small things, then graduating to the addition of sourced, uncontroversial content in a variety of areas. In other words, in the six months they have been here they seem to have been a productive user, with nobody objecting to their name. Should I just let it go on the grounds that their name doesn't seem to have bothered anyone? Or should they still be advised to change their name? If they are a productive new user I don't want to scare them away. I suppose they might be a sock, but they haven't been acting like one. -- MelanieN ( talk) 17:23, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi 331dot (courtesy ping
Jimfbleak as well as the blocking admin), I've been watching Jaymovez's unblock requests, and I've got to say, I'm not buying their explanation. The way they're commenting is shouting UPE to me (choice quotes include I began sculpting a page for a startup tech company known as "Movez" who has been making waves in the tech sphere
, creating the first article on a company that surely will be receiving tons of PR this year
, and The wiki link
/info/en/?search=Movez would be the central Wiki domain that is needed for the company's Wiki article
- these all sound like a PR person speaking, not a journalist who just happened to discover an interesting company). Also, I can't imagine why a journalist would find it appropriate to include a company they've reported on in their username, and their concern about getting unblocked quickly is pretty suspicious. I'm not sure what to do other than wait for the next admin to come along and deal with it, but wanted to share my concerns.

Hello 331dot,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

user:Junipergreen deleted a good chunk of stuff of off Lisa Lambe. This might be the same person as user:Officiallisalambe.

Mind you, Lambe is a very busy singer who has gigs almost every night, so I don't think she really cares about her own Wiki page. Must be a die hard fan or something.

Hi, Dot. I blocked Sriramadas.mahalingam twice in February: for edit warring on 9 February (this block has expired) and for disruptive editing and misuse of sources on 11 February, with the rationale here. The 11 February block is not focused on edit warring. It's partial, indefinite, and all about reliable sources. Also, it's not in a yellow box — sorry about that — unlike the first block. I'm concerned that maybe you thought the appeal was for the expired first block, which is more visible in its yellow box? The way your decline is worded might encourage the user to promise not to edit war any more, and expect to be unblocked, which would be unfortunate. I based the second block on what I take to be serious issues of CIR and tendentious editing. Bishonen | talk 21:03, 16 February 2020 (UTC).

Hi 331dot,
I see that you requested the global renamer right a few months back, so I was hoping you might be a logical person to ask about it.
The discussion indicated you weren't that active on a meta-side, but your experience in unblocks and UAA was accepted by everyone as sufficient (albeit with the seemingly traditional unhappiness with our UAA system). I'm starting to get involved with both spheres, and it would also be useful on an OTRS remit that I have more experience with. Do you think that the level of experience you had at the time would be necessary for a successful application, or is a need and a lower level of experience in the area likely to be sufficient?

Based on your follow-up question, I think maybe there's still some confusion as to how IPBE works.

I'd be very surprised if Maxim Dondyuk wasn't Maxim Dondyuk. Now that I observe the history of the latter article, and the list of contributions by Maximus vms, I'd be surprised if Maximus vms wasn't Dondyuk too. I can't complain about your block or the template you used for it, but fear that it would give the impression to the real-world MD that he could simply reinvent himself as "Maximus redux" or whatever and then edit merrily away. How about adding that, with whatever username, the real-world MD or anyone closely related to him should suggest edits on the talk page rather than editing directly?
I'd add it myself, but I'd prefer not to give the impression that different admins are at cross purposes.

Can you take a look at [7]? This user said that he talked to you about a webhost block keeping him from editing. I only saw this by looking at CAT:UNB. It showed up as an unhandled request. But this guy filed an unblock request from an IP, Special:Contributions/108.60.190.111, that shows no active blocks. You declined the unblock. The IP is in Sakatchewan, Canada, which is unlikely to be affected by a webhost block on Atlantic Metro Communications, which is on the east coast. The message at User talk:108.60.190.111 is your decline of the last unblock. Currently there is an open UTRS which shows as 'NEW' from him though is not in any queue. It says that User:DeltaQuad left a comment on the UTRS though I can't see it. Puzzling that this UTRS still shows up as NEW. Maybe a checkuser has to fix it, or a UTRS administrator.

The ACC page currently gives a waiting time of 8 months, so it's something I would never recommend except as an absolute last resort. In most cases I would simply tell them to do what they can to find another range. I recently replied to a similar issue with some other ideas, [8] in case you're looking for ideas. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 10:35, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello @ 331dot, Bbb23, and Cyphoidbomb: I Vivek Chourasia have applied for reviewing my block request. I know I have violated Wikipedia policy. I'm not s trusted user. I admit, have been warned various number of times whenever I tried escaping a block. I placed a request through Unblock Ticket Request System because I really don't have access to my Wikipedia account User:Vc4137, through which I started violating the Wikipedia policy by repeatedly recreating Vivek Chourasia article on Wikipedia. I tried to escape the block by recreating a new account from the same IP address and I have become a Sockpuppet of User:Vc4137. I agree to you what you reply to me through email that I should request from User:Vc4137, but I don't have the login access of that account. I only have access to User:AR.Dmg but don't have talk page access for placing a unblock review request. I don't want to hide anything from the community anymore, I accept my mistake I am a confirmed Sockpuppet of User:Vc4137 with various account User:VivekChourasia_143, User:VC DMG, [9]. But I want to humbly request the community to consider giving me a last chance. I will learn from editor about how to use Wikipedia regain the trust of the community. 157.43.211.166 ( talk) 14:02, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

First of all I am not sure this is where I am supposed to talk to you about this, so if I am wrong please forgive me. I changed a lot the biography and now is almost entirely based on a biography of Carlo Masi (Ruggero Freddi) written by Strega Prize winner Walter Siti, who is one of the most important Italian writers alive. This biography is a book published by Rizzoli Libri one of the most important Italian publishers. Apart from the book I use as a source Xbiz and here: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Pornography#Sources it says it is reliable. I use as a source also la Repubblica, La Stampa, Il Giornale and Corriere della Sera which are the most important Italian national news papers, very reliable and authoritative. Moreover I used Attitude (magazine), Times Higher Education, Gay Star News, Vanity Fair (magazines) and Vice (magazine) but mostly in the "media attention" part. Finally, I gave the link to the segment of the tv show where he asked his partner to marry him. Every single article I cite here is entirely on Carlo Masi (Ruggero Freddi) apart from the review of theater show he did, but even there his name is in blod and he is the main character.
As a porn star he was one of the most important and he was definitely the most important at Colt Studio Group, the company he worked for, in fact he is the only one ever named "emeritus" and he is the cover man of the 40th anniversary celebrative book of the company. Apart from the porn career his theater debut rose a lot of attention among critics and media. Moreover, media from all around the world have spoken about him when he become a professor for one of the most prestigious university in Italy, Sapienza University of Rome.
I don't know if this makes any difference but his biography is present in the Spanish ( https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Masi) , Italian ( https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Masi), Polish ( https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Masi), French( https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Masi) and Korean ( https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EC%B9%B4%EB%A5%BC%EB%A1%9C_%EB%A7%88%EC%8B%9C) wikipedia(I didn't use any of them as source).
Can you please give me some advise on how to improve it and how I can ask to unblock it to submit it again for publication? -- AlejandroLeloirRey ( talk) 13:24, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi 331dot, Tenryuu here. We've come across each other frequently at the Teahouse. After reading the deletion policy I've utilised the {{ db}} template for the first time ever and would like to know if I have used it correctly. The "draft" is currently using a lot of promotional language and references and the user shares the same name as the subject. As such I've also used the {{ Autobiography}} tag.
The user has contested the deletion proposal and in doing so has claimed that they are not Christine Kato herself over at the associated talk page, at which I've pointed them to WP:USERNAME. Your guidance in this issue would be most appreciated. -- Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 19:24, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi 331dot. Since you appear to be the only admin who responded to this TH question, I'm wondering if you would mind watching Young New Zealand Party for a bit. It appears some editors (who are not very familiar with Wikipedia) have been trying to "usurp" the article so that they can "turn" the article into one about a newly formed "Young New Zealand Party". There is a Draft:Young New Zealand that has been decline at AfC which is probably where this content really belongs. Anyway, I had the article on my watchlist most likely because of the TH question and it showed up during the recent spurt of editing. I think those trying to do this this probably mean well, but just are (once again) unfamiliar with Wikipedia disambiguation, etc. I've got no really comment on whether new "YNZP" is notable enough for it's own article, but if that draft is ultimately approved then it probably will need some formatting cleanup (infobox, embedded links, etc.) and there's probably COI editing going on that will need to be addressed. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 04:26, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

I was going to make a page about my own YouTube channel (which goes by the same name as my Wikipedia account) but after declaring the COI, I scrapped the idea, realizing that it probably wouldn't get approved. The page I am currently making is completely unrelated to me, but they are a YouTube creator whom I do watch, so would that maybe count as a COI?

1)

I happened to see Componenta Niina Honko's unblock request. From my understanding of what they're saying, and what WP:ISU says, it would satisfy the requirements of both en.wiki and fi.wiki if they were to change their username to something like Niina Honko at Componenta. That would separate the company name from their own, and it wouldn't look like the company's called Componenta Niina Honko.

Do you mind reviewing the comments on my talk page made here? From what it seems like they're saying they are recreating drafts of globally blocked subjects and/or doing so on multiple accounts. Not sure what is going on, but figured you might be able to suss it out with your mop powers. I'm not seeing anything sort of blocks on the editors or draft pages and I'm not even sure why they picked me to come to about it.

User:Logical Man 2000 have been blocked. I have no regret for it but i feel cheated. I hadn't disrupted or vandalized anything. I belong to Boro community. I tried to add completely some facts with reliable source. User:Chaipau belongs to Ahom community. He has communal hatred for Boro people. He try to spread fake information. There are some basic facts like Bishnu Rabha was Boro but he lived with Rabha surname, Boros aristocracy called themselves Ramsa and ruled some part of Assam, Dimasa kingdom was originally known as Kachari kingdom and ruled by Ramsa or Boro, So, Chaipau want to delete all these facts and their references from wikipedia. This is why many editors argue with him. If i'll try to move America into XYZYZX then you'll surely rgue with me. This is why i argued with him.

Hi! I've nominated "Master Music Publications" for deletion. Now I notice that it is the same editors who have contributed to this article and the articles on MMP clients such as Ji Liu, Luka Okros, Nicholas McCarthy (pianist) and Artur Cimirro. Notable amongst these 'editors' is User:Cabin2015 whose contributions are solely about MMP and its clients. Others include Oberman and Ilovelifeandmusic. The articles on these MMP clients all include extensive lists of their publications (i.e. publications by MMP) added by these editors. I then noted that you had dealings with User:MasterMusicPublications. I am guessing that these may all be sockpuppets, but am not sure what to do next. Your comments or advice would be appreciated.

What do you mean by 'disruptive editing' when you have clearly not read the IMPROVEMENT I provided pro bono? There's a reason academics and right minded people generally disregard, deride, laugh away, articles quoted or cited from Wikipedia. It is because of the laughable and ridiculous statements, claims conjectures and sometimes pain fiction which mire, distort, inflate and puff up pertinent facts or well thought out statements. In the case we are both tugging over, which meanders from pertinent matters that most readers, frankly, will like to discover. Not the tabloid fiction spawned from an imaginative mind with itchy fingers and a keyboard at arms length. You should be grateful that someone has taken the time to trim out the OBVIOUS chaff. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoserox ( talk • contribs) 17:01, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
You automatically threaten to block my edit just because the other person said so. You seem not to have taken the elementary step of examining the 'disruptive editing' you accuse me of doing whiles benignly asserting the position of the other as 'valid'. Well, it is a sham and mockery to call wikipedia a 'content aggregator' if you 'guys' restrict the content to what you think is worthy without some belief that you are the only ones who probably 'know everything in the world'. How laughably funny and it just adds to the catalogue of excuses for deriding wikipedia content. And yes, I have made financial contributions to Wikipedia in the past, now I see what a bad decision I made if it was going to fund the activities of self-important know-it-alls. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoserox ( talk • contribs) 18:32, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

I don't necessarily want to take more of your time, however, unless you are available. Where should I submit the drafted article, when ready (it will take some more time to get the sources)? Who takes responsibility for accepting or rejecting a submitted contribution? I guess there is some appreciable degree of arbitrariness in the editorial process, at least judging from the varied quality (and reliability) of similar articles. On the other hand, I understand that the Talk page associated with each accepted article with the open discussion from Wikipedians should allow an overall balance over time. Best regards. From5Apr20

Hi- Last week you unblocked a user named Smith0124 for edit warring after he pledged to stop. Just so you're aware, yesterday he went on a revision rampage across numerous wikipedia articles, apparently settling family business. He's also found to be a possible sockpuppet of a indefinitely banned user, Peterjack1. Anyways, as he's reverted back to his old habits, I think you should talk with him again and consider a new block if he doesn't start accepting that wikipedia is a community and not Smith0124's personal blog on highways and parkways in the NY metropolitan area. 108.21.182.146 ( talk) 14:46, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi there,
An editor named Bastun is ensuring that the Youth Defence page is loaded, biased and incomplete. Is this acceptable in Wikipedia?
For example, he is referencing the National Library of Ireland to back up a claim that Youth Defence have 'neo nazi' links - but the claim was removed from the NLI's website almost immediately and Bastun had to rely on the wayback machine to find it. This is not fair or neutral reporting of events, and breaches Wiki standards.
One member of Youth Defence - the PRO - attended an event in Germany, that does not mean the whole organisation has 'neo-nazi' links

Hi, dot! A question for you, since I see you are active at UAA. Today I happened across a user named TrynaBallWithMyBros. It struck me as a violation of username policy as offensive, since it equates to "trying to ball with my brothers". It didn't seem bad enough for a block, but I was going to tell them to get a new username. But then I saw that this person has been editing since August 2019 and has made 39 constructive edits during that time, starting out with small things, then graduating to the addition of sourced, uncontroversial content in a variety of areas. In other words, in the six months they have been here they seem to have been a productive user, with nobody objecting to their name. Should I just let it go on the grounds that their name doesn't seem to have bothered anyone? Or should they still be advised to change their name? If they are a productive new user I don't want to scare them away. I suppose they might be a sock, but they haven't been acting like one. -- MelanieN ( talk) 17:23, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi 331dot (courtesy ping
Jimfbleak as well as the blocking admin), I've been watching Jaymovez's unblock requests, and I've got to say, I'm not buying their explanation. The way they're commenting is shouting UPE to me (choice quotes include I began sculpting a page for a startup tech company known as "Movez" who has been making waves in the tech sphere
, creating the first article on a company that surely will be receiving tons of PR this year
, and The wiki link
/info/en/?search=Movez would be the central Wiki domain that is needed for the company's Wiki article
- these all sound like a PR person speaking, not a journalist who just happened to discover an interesting company). Also, I can't imagine why a journalist would find it appropriate to include a company they've reported on in their username, and their concern about getting unblocked quickly is pretty suspicious. I'm not sure what to do other than wait for the next admin to come along and deal with it, but wanted to share my concerns.

Hello 331dot,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Hi, Dot. I blocked Sriramadas.mahalingam twice in February: for edit warring on 9 February (this block has expired) and for disruptive editing and misuse of sources on 11 February, with the rationale here. The 11 February block is not focused on edit warring. It's partial, indefinite, and all about reliable sources. Also, it's not in a yellow box — sorry about that — unlike the first block. I'm concerned that maybe you thought the appeal was for the expired first block, which is more visible in its yellow box? The way your decline is worded might encourage the user to promise not to edit war any more, and expect to be unblocked, which would be unfortunate. I based the second block on what I take to be serious issues of CIR and tendentious editing. Bishonen | talk 21:03, 16 February 2020 (UTC).

Hi 331dot,
I see that you requested the global renamer right a few months back, so I was hoping you might be a logical person to ask about it.
The discussion indicated you weren't that active on a meta-side, but your experience in unblocks and UAA was accepted by everyone as sufficient (albeit with the seemingly traditional unhappiness with our UAA system). I'm starting to get involved with both spheres, and it would also be useful on an OTRS remit that I have more experience with. Do you think that the level of experience you had at the time would be necessary for a successful application, or is a need and a lower level of experience in the area likely to be sufficient?

Based on your follow-up question, I think maybe there's still some confusion as to how IPBE works.

I'd be very surprised if Maxim Dondyuk wasn't Maxim Dondyuk. Now that I observe the history of the latter article, and the list of contributions by Maximus vms, I'd be surprised if Maximus vms wasn't Dondyuk too. I can't complain about your block or the template you used for it, but fear that it would give the impression to the real-world MD that he could simply reinvent himself as "Maximus redux" or whatever and then edit merrily away. How about adding that, with whatever username, the real-world MD or anyone closely related to him should suggest edits on the talk page rather than editing directly?
I'd add it myself, but I'd prefer not to give the impression that different admins are at cross purposes.
Incidentally, the reason the article's on my watchlist is that I knew of the photographer before I knew that he had an article. The current article has problems, but an article is merited. -- Hoary ( talk) 09:17, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Since you unblocked him he has twice used deceptive edit summaries despite it being one of the conditions of his unblock (to use accurate edit summaries. It appears as though he is not listening.

Can you take a look at [7]? This user said that he talked to you about a webhost block keeping him from editing. I only saw this by looking at CAT:UNB. It showed up as an unhandled request. But this guy filed an unblock request from an IP, Special:Contributions/108.60.190.111, that shows no active blocks. You declined the unblock. The IP is in Sakatchewan, Canada, which is unlikely to be affected by a webhost block on Atlantic Metro Communications, which is on the east coast. The message at User talk:108.60.190.111 is your decline of the last unblock. Currently there is an open UTRS which shows as 'NEW' from him though is not in any queue. It says that User:DeltaQuad left a comment on the UTRS though I can't see it. Puzzling that this UTRS still shows up as NEW. Maybe a checkuser has to fix it, or a UTRS administrator. Why am I here, asking you? Possibly you have good advice. Thanks, anyway, EdJohnston ( talk) 17:32, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

The ACC page currently gives a waiting time of 8 months, so it's something I would never recommend except as an absolute last resort.

Hello @ 331dot, Bbb23, and Cyphoidbomb: I Vivek Chourasia have applied for reviewing my block request. I know I have violated Wikipedia policy. I'm not s trusted user. I admit, have been warned various number of times whenever I tried escaping a block. I placed a request through Unblock Ticket Request System because I really don't have access to my Wikipedia account User:Vc4137, through which I started violating the Wikipedia policy by repeatedly recreating Vivek Chourasia article on Wikipedia. I tried to escape the block by recreating a new account from the same IP address and I have become a Sockpuppet of User:Vc4137. I agree to you what you reply to me through email that I should request from User:Vc4137, but I don't have the login access of that account. I only have access to User:AR.Dmg but don't have talk page access for placing a unblock review request. I don't want to hide anything from the community anymore, I accept my mistake I am a confirmed Sockpuppet of User:Vc4137 with various account User:VivekChourasia_143, User:VC DMG, [9]. But I want to humbly request the community to consider giving me a last chance.

First of all I am not sure this is where I am supposed to talk to you about this, so if I am wrong please forgive me. I changed a lot the biography and now is almost entirely based on a biography of Carlo Masi (Ruggero Freddi) written by Strega Prize winner Walter Siti, who is one of the most important Italian writers alive. This biography is a book published by Rizzoli Libri one of the most important Italian publishers. Apart from the book I use as a source Xbiz and here: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Pornography#Sources it says it is reliable. I use as a source also la Repubblica, La Stampa, Il Giornale and Corriere della Sera which are the most important Italian national news papers, very reliable and authoritative. Moreover I used Attitude (magazine), Times Higher Education, Gay Star News, Vanity Fair (magazines) and Vice (magazine) but mostly in the "media attention" part. Finally, I gave the link to the segment of the tv show where he asked his partner to marry him. Every single article I cite here is entirely on Carlo Masi (Ruggero Freddi) apart from the review of theater show he did, but even there his name is in blod and he is the main character.
As a porn star he was one of the most important and he was definitely the most important at Colt Studio Group, the company he worked for, in fact he is the only one ever named "emeritus" and he is the cover man of the 40th anniversary celebrative book of the company. Apart from the porn career his theater debut rose a lot of attention among critics and media. Moreover, media from all around the world have spoken about him when he become a professor for one of the most prestigious university in Italy, Sapienza University of Rome.
I don't know if this makes any difference but his biography is present in the Spanish ( https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Masi) , Italian ( https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Masi), Polish ( https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Masi), French( https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Masi) and Korean ( https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EC%B9%B4%EB%A5%BC%EB%A1%9C_%EB%A7%88%EC%8B%9C) wikipedia(I didn't use any of them as source).

Hi 331dot, Tenryuu here. We've come across each other frequently at the Teahouse. After reading the deletion policy I've utilised the {{ db}} template for the first time ever and would like to know if I have used it correctly. The "draft" is currently using a lot of promotional language and references and the user shares the same name as the subject. As such I've also used the {{ Autobiography}} tag.
The user has contested the deletion proposal and in doing so has claimed that they are not Christine Kato herself over at the associated talk page, at which I've pointed them to WP:USERNAME. Your guidance in this issue would be most appreciated. -- Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 19:24, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi 331dot. Since you appear to be the only admin who responded to this TH question, I'm wondering if you would mind watching Young New Zealand Party for a bit. It appears some editors (who are not very familiar with Wikipedia) have been trying to "usurp" the article so that they can "turn" the article into one about a newly formed "Young New Zealand Party". There is a Draft:Young New Zealand that has been decline at AfC which is probably where this content really belongs. Anyway, I had the article on my watchlist most likely because of the TH question and it showed up during the recent spurt of editing. I think those trying to do this this probably mean well, but just are (once again) unfamiliar with Wikipedia disambiguation, etc. I've got no really comment on whether new "YNZP" is notable enough for it's own article, but if that draft is ultimately approved then it probably will need some formatting cleanup (infobox, embedded links, etc.) and there's probably COI editing going on that will need to be addressed. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 04:26, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

I happened to see Componenta Niina Honko's unblock request. From my understanding of what they're saying, and what WP:ISU says, it would satisfy the requirements of both en.wiki and fi.wiki if they were to change their username to something like Niina Honko at Componenta. That would separate the company name from their own, and it wouldn't look like the company's called Componenta Niina Honko.

Do you mind reviewing the comments on my talk page made here? From what it seems like they're saying they are recreating drafts of globally blocked subjects and/or doing so on multiple accounts.

I'm not seeing anything sort of blocks on the editors or draft pages and I'm not even sure why they picked me to come to about it.

User:Logical Man 2000 have been blocked. I have no regret for it but i feel cheated. I hadn't disrupted or vandalized anything. I belong to Boro community. I tried to add completely some facts with reliable source. User:Chaipau belongs to Ahom community. He has communal hatred for Boro people. He try to spread fake information. There are some basic facts like Bishnu Rabha was Boro but he lived with Rabha surname, Boros aristocracy called themselves Ramsa and ruled some part of Assam, Dimasa kingdom was originally known as Kachari kingdom and ruled by Ramsa or Boro, So, Chaipau want to delete all these facts and their references from wikipedia. This is why many editors argue with him. If i'll try to move America into XYZYZX then you'll surely rgue with me. This is why i argued with him.

Hi! I've nominated "Master Music Publications" for deletion. Now I notice that it is the same editors who have contributed to this article and the articles on MMP clients such as Ji Liu, Luka Okros, Nicholas McCarthy (pianist) and Artur Cimirro. Notable amongst these 'editors' is User:Cabin2015 whose contributions are solely about MMP and its clients. Others include Oberman and Ilovelifeandmusic. The articles on these MMP clients all include extensive lists of their publications (i.e. publications by MMP) added by these editors.

Hi, this was Nerd###2021. May I ask why NerdBoot was not allowed? I figured since it no longer said "Bot" or alluded towards the word bot that it should work. I sent a new change request this time I made it boy so that there was no problems whatsoever. But I am still curious and would like to know, so that I can better understand the reason that new name choice was unacceptable. Thanks in advance, and I didn't mean to be rude about the name changes. I was just really attached to my name so I wanted to do whatever I could to keep it somewhat similar to the original.

Regarding your indefinite block of GP Taylor, I'm 99% sure this is my old school friend and author, G. P. Taylor, and hence a COI, rather than a prohibited username. Esowteric+ Talk 20:12, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi there! I am sorry if I am overstepping, but I first wanted to thank you for reaching out to the user who has been arguing with me about Lynn Anderson's page. However, the user is continuing to say off-putting comments and wants to continue editing her page. Also, if the user is saying he is currently working with Lynn Anderson's estate. I was wondering what the next steps would be? I have brought this to the noticeboard page for administration, but no one has responded to me. I am hoping you or another administrator would be able to help me with regards to the incident. His comments, while not threatening, are making me uncomfortable. Thanks so much.

Check this link https://www.veripoll.net/ she’s polling over 5% there. What polls are you using as criteria? Some polls only include Biden and Trump and therefore should not be considered valid polls when saying she needs to be polling at 5%. A candidate who is being shutout by media sources and news sites should not be unfairly given unfair criteria to meet when she isn’t given a fair chance. I request this edit be made because it gives the American people a more accurate idea of who is running instead of pandering to the two party system.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.182.66.223 ( talk)
You recently blocked Messagesgalour ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). They've been continuing to log out and have complained on their IP talk page here. They seem to have used other addresses on that /24 block going back months at least making the same sorts of disruptive edits: bad plurals, removing serial commas, some other nonsense, etc, often complaining abusively in a similar manner about blocks on talk pages. At least one of the IPs in that block was blocked by NinjaRobotPirate ( log) with a CheckUser note. I suspect there may be more from a larger subnet, but I haven't looked. Pinging DVdm in case they have any more to say as well. Is there anything more called for here, like maybe a range block? Is it worth posting at AN? Anyway, I just thought I'd give a heads up.

331dot I created a simple article and then I was told I did not have enough information. I had a simple one like U.S._Vote_Foundation and Nonprofit_VOTE . I was told it would be deleted. I was told to keep adding information and articles etc.... Now you mention it may look like an advertisement because of all the additional info I added. Please explain what needs to be done to publish without being deleted? The two wiki pages I mentioned above were no different than the original one I created and was told it wont be published and I need to add more details. This is confusing.. JonScottCorp Jonscottcorp ( talk) 01:05, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
331dot I understand your point. What I did was read the requirements/guidelines and in addition looked at other articles making sure I am keeping the desired standards & requirements. I was then told multiple times to keep adding information. I moved it back to draft for now and will follow your advice before republishing.

Hello 331dot,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Hi, thanks for the info on getting in touch with the person who deleted my draft page. As i mentioned i was directed to do so in a message regards it's recovery. I was on "user lis's" talk page but unlike your own there is no link to "talk" to the user or to open a message. I know this is trivial basic basic user stuff, but to some these parameters are just odd and confusing. I have requested "officially", i think anyway, the recovery of the deleted page ut it would still be good to have some indiaction if where I'm going wrong on contacting the user. Much appreciated.
Questions to the user who deleted my sandbox :) Hi, ok so i find it all very bewildering and not an easy place to navigate or to simply find an answer. Might just be me of course. I had my sandbox deleted with an article i was preparing and due to the current situation I left it alone hoping to get back to it. When I did, it was gone. I tried to copy back in the content to start up again but was wasked to contact a "user" Liz who deleted it. I cannot find anyway of askign that person to review their deletion and reinstall it. Help please, i cannot find any way of getting in touch with the person. Thanks

Engblu Hello and welcome to the Teahouse. Every user has a user talk page for communication with them, and it is usually linked to in their signature at the end of their posts.(for example, yours is linked to in your signature above). It is also linked to in places like page edit histories and many logs, including deletion logs like the one you copied the text from above. If you click the word "talk" in that message, it will take you to that user's user talk page where you can ask them directly about your question. 331dot (talk) 14:20, 19 June 2020 (UTC) I'll also link to that user's talk page here: User talk:Liz. 331dot (talk) 14:21, 19 June 2020 (UTC) Hello, Steve. Your sandbox was apparently a redirect to a draft page, Draft:Steve Lyon (Recording Engineer), which was deleted a week ago since it hadn't been edited in six months. You have already posted to Requests for undeletion to request the undeletion of that draft, and retrieving the redirect won't be helpful for you.

What do you mean by 'disruptive editing' when you have clearly not read the IMPROVEMENT I provided pro bono? There's a reason academics and right minded people generally disregard, deride, laugh away, articles quoted or cited from Wikipedia. It is because of the laughable and ridiculous statements, claims conjectures and sometimes pain fiction which mire, distort, inflate and puff up pertinent facts or well thought out statements. In the case we are both tugging over, which meanders from pertinent matters that most readers, frankly, will like to discover. Not the tabloid fiction spawned from an imaginative mind with itchy fingers and a keyboard at arms length. You should be grateful that someone has taken the time to trim out the OBVIOUS chaff. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoserox ( talk • contribs) 17:01, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
You automatically threaten to block my edit just because the other person said so. You seem not to have taken the elementary step of examining the 'disruptive editing' you accuse me of doing whiles benignly asserting the position of the other as 'valid'. Well, it is a sham and mockery to call wikipedia a 'content aggregator' if you 'guys' restrict the content to what you think is worthy without some belief that you are the only ones who probably 'know everything in the world'. How laughably funny and it just adds to the catalogue of excuses for deriding wikipedia content. And yes, I have made financial contributions to Wikipedia in the past, now I see what a bad decision I made if it was going to fund the activities of self-important know-it-alls. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoserox ( talk • contribs) 18:32, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Hey 331dot. I am not sure what edits you added. You put some general sanction thing on my page; were you just warning me about what to do or what not to do. Or did I violate one of the sanctions?

From5Apr20 ( talk) 15:34, 5 July 2020 (UTC) User:From5Apr20 15:19, 5 July 2020 (UTC) Thank you User:331dot ! I now included a draft of a new article in my sandbox. Please take a look there and kindly let me know if and how I can contribute it to Wikipedia. Notice that I have no conflict of interest with the person sketched in the biographical profile (he is neither a relative of mine nor my mentor or anything like that) .
From5Apr20 ( talk) 18:24, 5 July 2020 (UTC) Thanks for the comments 331dot. I'll improve the reliability of the article by adding more independent sources. I don't necessarily want to take more of your time, however, unless you are available. Where should I submit the drafted article, when ready (it will take some more time to get the sources)? Who takes responsibility for accepting or rejecting a submitted contribution? I guess there is some appreciable degree of arbitrariness in the editorial process, at least judging from the varied quality (and reliability) of similar articles. On the other hand, I understand that the Talk page associated with each accepted article with the open discussion from Wikipedians should allow an overall balance over time. Best regards. From5Apr20
