Hi SmartSE, thanks for getting back to me on this. I've left a reply (here) and have reworked the draft (here). Some feedback when you've got a spare moment would be great. Thanks very much. HOgilvy ( talk) 17:38, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
Hey, do you think I can ask you to watchlist it with me? I just noticed this edit summary, which seems to allege my edits are part of a systematic censorship attempt and suggests to me that it will eventually become the usual drama of being accused of a covert COI agenda (I do not have a COI).

I significantly appreciate your dedication in deleting Niama-Reisser articles. You, and your fellow volunteer colleagues surely do not read what they decide to delete or edit. Your remark, "essentially a catalogue" referring tp my article with what I uploaded. If you would do your homework, you would realize googling "Niama-Reisser" and Reisser Hat Ihr Bad Stirrgart, Germany, you would realize the company's heritage is over 140 years old and Mr. Heinz-Gustav Reisser is the fifth generation of the family business Gustav Reisser KG, today, Reisser Hat Ihr Bad. They employ over 1,500 employees. And our market leader in southwest Germany. To date, I haven't had the time to chronologically establish all of the relationships but a reporter did so in Germany. I'm sure you can use Google Tranalate. Here is the Link:

I was wondering if you were "back" from your semi-wiki-break and if so, if you had time to collaborate on an article like Diners Club, which I cannot improve without a partner in crime on account of my COI. I would understand if you don't have time (or just aren't interested).

Hello -- it appears as though you deleted my company's Wiki page on March 10th. The page has been present on Wikipedia for several years, and was updated last month to be more comprehensive. The reason you cited is that the page was ambiguous or acting as marketing, neither of which was intended to be the case. We are a renowned design collective with a worldwide following, and simply presented our company history and credentials like any other design/advertising company which has created a Wikipedia page about themselves. For reference, please see Radical Media, B-Reel, BBDO, etc. We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to correct any issues that you identified, and have our page restored as soon as possible. Short of that, we would at least appreciate having a copy of the text. Please advise soonest. Thank you. Tomatostudio ( talk) 18:18, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks very much for the detailed reply. It helps an incredible amount. We can follow the guidelines as you described - including more supporting references - and nominate a outsider to create the new page. Would it at all be possible to have the old page made available to us in some way? Understand if not, but it would be a huge advantage if so. Again, greatly appreciate your help. Thank you. Tomatostudio ( talk) 22:13, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. I've received the code. We'll do a wiki-appropriate version, but it's great to have the original code as a basis. If it wouldn't be imposing, I'd welcome your review of the page when it's ready, to ensure we've followed the guidelines and won't get flagged again. I'll send you a message when it's complete. Thanks again. Really do appreciate your help. Tomatostudio ( talk) 00:00, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello. I am the editor for the new Tomato (company) page. Earlier today I posted a revised version, and before I could send it to you for review, another administrator deleted it. I do not understand why, as the new article has only statements of fact supported by appropriate references. I have now re-posted the page to my sandbox and would be very grateful if you could review it, as you kindly offered above. Thank you. Quiller1970 ( talk) 20:03, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for the quick reply. I must admit that I do not understand why those two sentences would be problematic. They are simply statements of fact -- supported by numerous newspaper and magazine articles -- as to what Tomato does. The text is also written in plain English, with no adjectives or promotional elements. Under this viewpoint, Coca-Cola couldn't say it makes various brands of soda, or Sony Pictures couldn't say it works in film, television, branded content, etc. Also, those sentences are no different than what our competitors are using (apparently, without a problem), such as B-Reel, which opens its wiki page with the following: "B-Reel is an international production company working in three areas: Commercials and Branded Content, Digital and Feature Films." I don't mean to argue, but we are on highly subjective ground now, and while I can supply an amended version, I fear that nothing I write will somehow pass muster with an admin. Surely, those sentences aren't controversial? Quiller1970 ( talk) 20:36, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
Thanks to both of you for the help. I have done a slight rewrite based on Smartse's comments, but didn't drastically change the sentence that lists the primary media types used by Tomato. It really is important to express Tomato's multimedia roots (they were perhaps the first truly integrated media agency), and the list is valuable because it shows specific application of design and creativity. It's also no different than Waggener Edstrom's list of its practice areas, and that's GA ranked. Also, Underworld is fundamental to the history of Tomato, but I avoided references to specific projects (such as Trainspotting) for now, as I just want to get a basic page going. Down the road, I could add a "notable projects" section with references. What I have done for now is submit the revised article to AFC for review, and this version is also in my sandbox. Welcome you to have a look. Thanks again. Quiller1970 ( talk) 21:27, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
Based on the draft here I have the following comments:
A decent amount of the content in the deleted article was good (neutral) encyclopedic content, but I think it was promotional enough to warrant a deletion. If the intention is to just get a stub started, I'd be happy to trim it down to an acceptable version. CorporateM ( Talk) 22:06, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Odbrana is tactical system with over 10000 members and more than 100000 followers worldwide. Odbrana page ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odbrana_(tactical_defense_system) ) was proposed for deletion by you. I am not familiar with all Wikipedia rules but I am one of the guys who study, practice and write about martial arts. Personally I admire Odbrana, Krav Maga and Systema, sense they are the only combat self defense systems around the world. Some of the Odbrana members started Odbrana page year ago and I took some part of editing as well. Probably we need some guidance from you guys in order to meet some of the Wikipedia terms and conditions sense there is no questions about paid editing, false marketing etc. Can you please let me know how can I make all terms and conditions right if we did something wrong. Thanks Smartse, Respectfully, Srbtiger 06:46, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi SmartSE, if you get a second, could you please take a look at this discussion and the related article here? Someone nommed the article for AfD, a brand new SPA with six edits in article space sprung up and made some vandalism accusations, and is giving a lot of push-back on things as minor as adding cleanup templates (see article history). I say it's tangentially related because the SPA first contacted one of the accounts mentioned in the SPI. I've dropped a note at WikiProject Music asking them to take a look, but we'll see if that goes anywhere. I'm mentioning this to you since you participated in the SPI. Thanks!

Hello SmartSE, I see you have been working on the Vince Stanzione TV Commerce page, you have stated that a Channel was closed down, this is false, the channel that was closed down and referred to in the independent article was Look for Love run by TV Concepts, I can understand that you made a mistake, it has now been deleted http://licensing.ofcom.org.uk/tv-broadcast-licences/licensing-updates/look4love2 TV Commerce was fined but was never told to close a channel down. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.166.245.87 ( talk • contribs)

I kind of have a hankering now to work on a company article with a negative or controversial slant. Of course I rarely get to as part of my sponsored work, because I have to consult them they wouldn't be happy with a neutral article and should not use my services. We bumped into each other a while back on an article about a PR firm that had a sort of seedy reputation for helping dictators and the like and I was thinking of circling back to it (the Edelman article was exceedingly boring).

Hi Smartse, I saw your comment about the article on Articles for deletion page. Think there's definitely a good reason why we should keep the page for Regulatory Incubator - journalists and companies use this term in articles and search, just perhaps edit down the contents and keep it relevant to what a regulatory incubator (or a regulatory umbrella) does - these two terms are practically interchangeable. In your comment you say you see a merge or a redirect to an article about Sturgeon Ventures as an option. I've submitted it some time ago but it was rejected. As a result I though that creating an article for the term 'Regulatory Incubator' would be the right thing to do, even though there are some high quality sources referring to the company, including the Financial Times. It looks to me that there are two options: 1. Keep Regulatory Incubator article but improve the copy or 2. Publish an article for Sturgeon Ventures and put a merge/redirect in place. Please let me know your thoughts - Many thanks Kt1502 ( talk) 09:26, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Puccetto has a clear COI and my guess is that they are being paid for editing. I also think there may be socks involved, but I have yet to prove that still. JMHamo ( talk) 12:16, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
stories about payment and socks are funny very much: Buccellati, Morellato, Bulgari, Damiani do not need wikipedia for watches selling and Breil, Philip Watch, Locman, Tommaso Buti, Naloni, Franchi Menotti, etc. too. Furthermore wikipedia is used for political propaganda by some organized groups who makes entrism and in this case who does pay who? I have only simple questions to you, founder Jimbo Wales including: for this reason I never did edit in articles of political matters-- Puccetto ( talk) 14:33, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
Please check Special:Contributions/A.Minkowiski for further proposals to delete articles immediately by A.Minkowiski. This newly (today!) created user seems to think he is a samorai.

Hi Smart. I keep trying to rope you into articles where I have a COI, mostly unsuccessfully, but color me persistent. I just brought the SAS (software) article up to GA and I'm targeting the SAS Institute article next. (see my work in progress here). The thing is, I can already tell it will be the most positive article I have written in recent times, because that is what is representative of the sources (nobody is going to believe me when I say this). They are best known for being a good place to work and for showing that greed doesn't always win.

I had reviewed the google hits for it, but they are all forum posts and a couple questionable videos. The only close-to-reliable source is IMDB and as IMDB is not reliable in general, there's no RS's to support this. (In addition, Battlefield 4 only just came out, and it is extremely doubtful that a game 4 years out would be announced at this time). -- MASEM ( t) 17:50, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
Along the lines of the discussion there about trivial lawsuits, I thought you might be interested in User:CorporateM/Extant Organizations. It's comparable to how we have a policy for BLPs focused on respecting their reputation, a guideline for medical articles focused on sources and.... now an essay for company articles focused on WP:NOT. It covers how to avoid trivial lawsuits, awards, directory information, etc. I was originally thinking it would be ideal as a guideline, but to avoid the drama of a COI meddling in policies/guidelines, I'm going to keep it as a user essay for now. Still if you're interested in taking a look, I'd love any input you have. CorporateM ( Talk) 01:08, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Conversation with Wiki/help/chat I hope this is the right place to talk with you about this.
I went to the wiki/help/chat site to ask to whom I should report a site on a scientific subject that had no inline references. Three responders there agreed there is no WP requirement for inline citations in a scientific article so no action was needed. The site is "Dynamic energy budget". I copied and pasted the conversation I had on my wiki page in case you would like to look at it. Are you interested as an Administrator in checking the site for some kind of flagging? If you don't agree with the info they gave me, should anyone get back to them, or are they right?
I have no personal interest in this: whatever action or inaction that is taken is OK with me. I'm going back to editing!
Oh there is one other topic: I came upon a site I think needs a title change: it's Energy balance(Biology). It looks like to me that it would better called Energy homeostasis - I edited the first line to say that's what it means. Is changing the title to the page something you could pass judgment on, or refer to someone who can? Again, the outcome doesn't matter to me - just want to point it out for potential review.
Thank you.

"Mfero" has changed a single word in the first sentence in the Intro of Platelets from a correct to an incorrect statement ("vertebrates" instead of "non-mammalian vertebrates") Do I change it back, and explain why he's wrong on the talk page, or click on his page from the Edit history and discuss it there? Thanks.
IiKkEe ( talk) 05:25, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
Well, once again I failed to see your response until 4 days later - which this time turns out to be good thing, because ironically on my own I concluded exactly what you recommended: I posted a note on his user talk page inviting him to discuss his revision on Platelet talk, outlined BRD to see if we agreed on how to proceed, and pasted a paragraph from the text Platelets supporting my view that platelets are in mammals only. When he didn't respond I changed the opening sentence - not a reversion, but a rewrite to accommodate his excellent suggestion to start with what they do in sentence one, and keep the language simple. That stimulated me to redescribe what they look like, put more citations in the lead, and rewrite the whole Structure section. So only good things happened, and all is well in WP land.

You have had Genetically modified organism as pending-changes for a year or so.

I've adopted you as my "mentor": tell me if I'm misusing or overusing you.
There's a chart at Integrin. The font is too big so it's doubled over on itself. I asked WikiHelpChat if they could fix it, they said they didn't know how, post the problem on Integrin talk.
Do you know how to fix font size , or refer to someone who does know?
Thanks!
IiKkEe ( talk) 16:44, 9 May 2014 (UTC)!
Back with another question. It seems strange to me that Pages like Platelet, Red blood cell, White blood cell, and Integrin are titled in the singular, when 99% of the time they are talked about in the pleural. Just looking at the Pages themselves and counting the singulars and pleurals woud make the point. Hoping to leave you out of this one, I went to WP Help Chat, asked who decides these thing and how are they decided, they said "community consensus" and "go to Wikikipedia medicine". That brought up visions of 1) procedures akin to a constitutional amendment and 2) going into a black hole - so I'm back to you for feedback: who does this and how is it decided? easy to submit request for consideration or overwhelming?
Thanks!

Dear SmartSe, I have seen that you have nominated Gurpareet Bains for deletion, among others. Though I accept sound reasons for deletions, I do feel that my choice of career is drawing attention to wikis that otherwise would be viewed as perfectly fine. Gurpareet is a household name in the UK and abroad and this is fully supported in the sources chosen.

Hi Smartse. I just came across bats practicing fellatio, mentioned in a number of pages, at least one an edit of yours. I looked at the video and really do see anything other than a female bat licking the male's penis. I also read the so-called 'research' paper on which it is based. Licking genitals is nothing unusual for animals and is done for a number of reasons - stimulation, lubrication, bonding etc. That is not the same as fellatio. Do you have an opinion on the matter?

Are you employed by any part of the pharmaceutical industry that deals with ADD or ADHD treatment medications or drug development (as a contractor or as a direct employee)? Also, are you employed to do public relations work on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry. Please note that these are two separate questions.
Third question, are you a lobbyist for the above mentioned areas of the pharmaceutical industry? 2602:306:BDA0:97A0:466D:57FF:FE90:AC45 ( talk) 19:04, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Smart, Is this the correct way of talking to you? if not very sorry still learning. With regards to DJ Bailey page, is copying text not allowed? I would of thought that was more correct?

Hello -- it appears as though you deleted my company's Wiki page on March 10th. The page has been present on Wikipedia for several years, and was updated last month to be more comprehensive. The reason you cited is that the page was ambiguous or acting as marketing, neither of which was intended to be the case. We are a renowned design collective with a worldwide following, and simply presented our company history and credentials like any other design/advertising company which has created a Wikipedia page about themselves. For reference, please see Radical Media, B-Reel, BBDO, etc. We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to correct any issues that you identified, and have our page restored as soon as possible. Short of that, we would at least appreciate having a copy of the text. Please advise soonest. Thank you. Tomatostudio ( talk) 18:18, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks very much for the detailed reply. It helps an incredible amount. We can follow the guidelines as you described - including more supporting references - and nominate a outsider to create the new page. Would it at all be possible to have the old page made available to us in some way? Understand if not, but it would be a huge advantage if so. Again, greatly appreciate your help. Thank you. Tomatostudio ( talk) 22:13, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. I've received the code. We'll do a wiki-appropriate version, but it's great to have the original code as a basis. If it wouldn't be imposing, I'd welcome your review of the page when it's ready, to ensure we've followed the guidelines and won't get flagged again. I'll send you a message when it's complete. Thanks again. Really do appreciate your help. Tomatostudio ( talk) 00:00, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello. I am the editor for the new Tomato (company) page. Earlier today I posted a revised version, and before I could send it to you for review, another administrator deleted it. I do not understand why, as the new article has only statements of fact supported by appropriate references. I have now re-posted the page to my sandbox and would be very grateful if you could review it, as you kindly offered above. Thank you. Quiller1970 ( talk) 20:03, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for the quick reply. I must admit that I do not understand why those two sentences would be problematic. They are simply statements of fact -- supported by numerous newspaper and magazine articles -- as to what Tomato does. The text is also written in plain English, with no adjectives or promotional elements. Under this viewpoint, Coca-Cola couldn't say it makes various brands of soda, or Sony Pictures couldn't say it works in film, television, branded content, etc. Also, those sentences are no different than what our competitors are using (apparently, without a problem), such as B-Reel, which opens its wiki page with the following: "B-Reel is an international production company working in three areas: Commercials and Branded Content, Digital and Feature Films." I don't mean to argue, but we are on highly subjective ground now, and while I can supply an amended version, I fear that nothing I write will somehow pass muster with an admin. Surely, those sentences aren't controversial? Quiller1970 ( talk) 20:36, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
Thanks to both of you for the help. I have done a slight rewrite based on Smartse's comments, but didn't drastically change the sentence that lists the primary media types used by Tomato. It really is important to express Tomato's multimedia roots (they were perhaps the first truly integrated media agency), and the list is valuable because it shows specific application of design and creativity. It's also no different than Waggener Edstrom's list of its practice areas, and that's GA ranked. Also, Underworld is fundamental to the history of Tomato, but I avoided references to specific projects (such as Trainspotting) for now, as I just want to get a basic page going. Down the road, I could add a "notable projects" section with references. What I have done for now is submit the revised article to AFC for review, and this version is also in my sandbox. Welcome you to have a look. Thanks again. Quiller1970 ( talk) 21:27, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
Based on the draft here I have the following comments:
A decent amount of the content in the deleted article was good (neutral) encyclopedic content, but I think it was promotional enough to warrant a deletion. If the intention is to just get a stub started, I'd be happy to trim it down to an acceptable version. CorporateM ( Talk) 22:06, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Odbrana is tactical system with over 10000 members and more than 100000 followers worldwide. Odbrana page ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odbrana_(tactical_defense_system) ) was proposed for deletion by you. I am not familiar with all Wikipedia rules but I am one of the guys who study, practice and write about martial arts. Personally I admire Odbrana, Krav Maga and Systema, sense they are the only combat self defense systems around the world. Some of the Odbrana members started Odbrana page year ago and I took some part of editing as well. Probably we need some guidance from you guys in order to meet some of the Wikipedia terms and conditions sense there is no questions about paid editing, false marketing etc. Can you please let me know how can I make all terms and conditions right if we did something wrong. Thanks Smartse, Respectfully, Srbtiger 06:46, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi SmartSE, if you get a second, could you please take a look at this discussion and the related article here? Someone nommed the article for AfD, a brand new SPA with six edits in article space sprung up and made some vandalism accusations, and is giving a lot of push-back on things as minor as adding cleanup templates (see article history). I say it's tangentially related because the SPA first contacted one of the accounts mentioned in the SPI. I've dropped a note at WikiProject Music asking them to take a look, but we'll see if that goes anywhere. I'm mentioning this to you since you participated in the SPI. Thanks!

Hello SmartSE, I see you have been working on the Vince Stanzione TV Commerce page, you have stated that a Channel was closed down, this is false, the channel that was closed down and referred to in the independent article was Look for Love run by TV Concepts, I can understand that you made a mistake, it has now been deleted http://licensing.ofcom.org.uk/tv-broadcast-licences/licensing-updates/look4love2 TV Commerce was fined but was never told to close a channel down. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.166.245.87 ( talk • contribs)
StarDate TV - owned by stock market-listed TV Commerce Holdings - has been closed by regulators for ripping off consumers via a premium-rate phone line.
Agreed the company decided to close the channel as part of the fine and changes in regulations - at no times was the channel closed down - thanks for the rewording — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.166.245.87 ( talk • contribs) 15:57, 27 March 2014
I kind of have a hankering now to work on a company article with a negative or controversial slant. Of course I rarely get to as part of my sponsored work, because I have to consult them they wouldn't be happy with a neutral article and should not use my services. We bumped into each other a while back on an article about a PR firm that had a sort of seedy reputation for helping dictators and the like and I was thinking of circling back to it (the Edelman article was exceedingly boring).

Hi Smartse, I saw your comment about the article on Articles for deletion page. Think there's definitely a good reason why we should keep the page for Regulatory Incubator - journalists and companies use this term in articles and search, just perhaps edit down the contents and keep it relevant to what a regulatory incubator (or a regulatory umbrella) does - these two terms are practically interchangeable. In your comment you say you see a merge or a redirect to an article about Sturgeon Ventures as an option. I've submitted it some time ago but it was rejected. As a result I though that creating an article for the term 'Regulatory Incubator' would be the right thing to do, even though there are some high quality sources referring to the company, including the Financial Times. It looks to me that there are two options: 1. Keep Regulatory Incubator article but improve the copy or 2. Publish an article for Sturgeon Ventures and put a merge/redirect in place. Please let me know your thoughts - Many thanks Kt1502 ( talk) 09:26, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
I have few questions:
Puccetto has a clear COI and my guess is that they are being paid for editing. I also think there may be socks involved, but I have yet to prove that still. JMHamo ( talk) 12:16, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
stories about payment and socks are funny very much: Buccellati, Morellato, Bulgari, Damiani do not need wikipedia for watches selling and Breil, Philip Watch, Locman, Tommaso Buti, Naloni, Franchi Menotti, etc. too. Furthermore wikipedia is used for political propaganda by some organized groups who makes entrism and in this case who does pay who? I have only simple questions to you, founder Jimbo Wales including: for this reason I never did edit in articles of political matters-- Puccetto ( talk) 14:33, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
Please check Special:Contributions/A.Minkowiski for further proposals to delete articles immediately by A.Minkowiski. This newly (today!) created user seems to think he is a samorai.

Hi Smart. I keep trying to rope you into articles where I have a COI, mostly unsuccessfully, but color me persistent. I just brought the SAS (software) article up to GA and I'm targeting the SAS Institute article next. (see my work in progress here). The thing is, I can already tell it will be the most positive article I have written in recent times, because that is what is representative of the sources (nobody is going to believe me when I say this). They are best known for being a good place to work and for showing that greed doesn't always win.
I figured you more than most understand that what is neutral depends on the topic and would check the sources before passing judgement. Maybe I can persuade you to check out my draft when it's ready? CorporateM ( Talk) 17:48, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
On 16 April 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Redcliffe N. Salaman, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Redcliffe N.

I had reviewed the google hits for it, but they are all forum posts and a couple questionable videos. The only close-to-reliable source is IMDB and as IMDB is not reliable in general, there's no RS's to support this. (In addition, Battlefield 4 only just came out, and it is extremely doubtful that a game 4 years out would be announced at this time). -- MASEM ( t) 17:50, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
Along the lines of the discussion there about trivial lawsuits, I thought you might be interested in User:CorporateM/Extant Organizations. It's comparable to how we have a policy for BLPs focused on respecting their reputation, a guideline for medical articles focused on sources and.... now an essay for company articles focused on WP:NOT. It covers how to avoid trivial lawsuits, awards, directory information, etc. I was originally thinking it would be ideal as a guideline, but to avoid the drama of a COI meddling in policies/guidelines, I'm going to keep it as a user essay for now. Still if you're interested in taking a look, I'd love any input you have. CorporateM ( Talk) 01:08, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Conversation with Wiki/help/chat I hope this is the right place to talk with you about this.
I went to the wiki/help/chat site to ask to whom I should report a site on a scientific subject that had no inline references. Three responders there agreed there is no WP requirement for inline citations in a scientific article so no action was needed. The site is "Dynamic energy budget". I copied and pasted the conversation I had on my wiki page in case you would like to look at it. Are you interested as an Administrator in checking the site for some kind of flagging? If you don't agree with the info they gave me, should anyone get back to them, or are they right?
I have no personal interest in this: whatever action or inaction that is taken is OK with me. I'm going back to editing!
Oh there is one other topic: I came upon a site I think needs a title change: it's Energy balance(Biology). It looks like to me that it would better called Energy homeostasis - I edited the first line to say that's what it means. Is changing the title to the page something you could pass judgment on, or refer to someone who can? Again, the outcome doesn't matter to me - just want to point it out for potential review.
Thank you.

"Mfero" has changed a single word in the first sentence in the Intro of Platelets from a correct to an incorrect statement ("vertebrates" instead of "non-mammalian vertebrates") Do I change it back, and explain why he's wrong on the talk page, or click on his page from the Edit history and discuss it there? Thanks.
IiKkEe ( talk) 05:25, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
Well, once again I failed to see your response until 4 days later - which this time turns out to be good thing, because ironically on my own I concluded exactly what you recommended: I posted a note on his user talk page inviting him to discuss his revision on Platelet talk, outlined BRD to see if we agreed on how to proceed, and pasted a paragraph from the text Platelets supporting my view that platelets are in mammals only. When he didn't respond I changed the opening sentence - not a reversion, but a rewrite to accommodate his excellent suggestion to start with what they do in sentence one, and keep the language simple. That stimulated me to redescribe what they look like, put more citations in the lead, and rewrite the whole Structure section. So only good things happened, and all is well in WP land.
IiKkEe ( talk) 16:35, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
You have had Genetically modified organism as pending-changes for a year or so.

I've adopted you as my "mentor": tell me if I'm misusing or overusing you.
There's a chart at Integrin. The font is too big so it's doubled over on itself. I asked WikiHelpChat if they could fix it, they said they didn't know how, post the problem on Integrin talk.
Do you know how to fix font size , or refer to someone who does know?
Thanks!
IiKkEe ( talk) 16:44, 9 May 2014 (UTC)!
Back with another question. It seems strange to me that Pages like Platelet, Red blood cell, White blood cell, and Integrin are titled in the singular, when 99% of the time they are talked about in the pleural. Just looking at the Pages themselves and counting the singulars and pleurals woud make the point. Hoping to leave you out of this one, I went to WP Help Chat, asked who decides these thing and how are they decided, they said "community consensus" and "go to Wikikipedia medicine". That brought up visions of 1) procedures akin to a constitutional amendment and 2) going into a black hole - so I'm back to you for feedback: who does this and how is it decided? easy to submit request for consideration or overwhelming?
Thanks!

Dear SmartSe, I have seen that you have nominated Gurpareet Bains for deletion, among others. Though I accept sound reasons for deletions, I do feel that my choice of career is drawing attention to wikis that otherwise would be viewed as perfectly fine. Gurpareet is a household name in the UK and abroad and this is fully supported in the sources chosen. His notability is amply demonstrated by the significant national and international coverage he receives. I welcome the chance to discuss things further with you.

Hey, sorry I've been bugging you a lot recently. I'm working on getting the "best place to work"-type content ready for consideration and I was wondering if you wanted to take a look when it's ready, since you already reviewed my work-in-progress draft previously. I'll probably work on it over night and have it ready by morning before nodding off. I need to go through it and check each source, as well as compare it to the current to make sure nothing good is missing, etc.. CorporateM ( Talk) 05:21, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Smartse. I just came across bats practicing fellatio, mentioned in a number of pages, at least one an edit of yours. I looked at the video and really do see anything other than a female bat licking the male's penis. I also read the so-called 'research' paper on which it is based. Licking genitals is nothing unusual for animals and is done for a number of reasons - stimulation, lubrication, bonding etc. That is not the same as fellatio. Do you have an opinion on the matter?
