recovering a deleted Draft article Draft:Thakzin
please, i need help recovering Draft:Thakzin as it was deleted and i would like to work on the tone of that article because that was the reason it was deleted. i didn't write it in a neutral point of view the first time and i did it the proper way through AfC but will fix it once it can be recovered to my sandbox. i submitted it via Afc so i dont know why they would delete it. If they moved it to my Sandbox i would've gladly fixed the tone of the article unless im missing something? BetoTheDJ (talk) 18:44, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- BetoTheDJ not as simple as that. Apart from the spammy tone, you don't have independent verifiable sources. Your references include YouTube and other video links, other sites linked to him, and at leat one that doesn't mention him. We need reputable independent third-party sources. There is nothing to suggest he meets the music notability guidelines. Whom he has played with, reviews (positive or negative) and YouTube views are irrelevant, you need awards, chart placings and similar. Your text appears to be a close paraphrase of at least this, and as a copyright violation it will not be restored Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:28, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
Paid editing
Hi! Just as a quick heads up, I came across an account on freelancer.com engaged in UPE and claiming to be you. It is clearly fake to anyone who knows anything about WP, (absolutely, unquestionably fake), and I'm looking into how to report them on Freelancer, but I thought I'd let you know in case you get a message from a disgruntled client of theirs. Sadly it seems to be happening a lot. - Bilby (talk) 07:40, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's gotten somewhat common. I got an angry message from someone who said I had threatened them with deleting an article about them unless they paid me a bunch of money. Fortunately, they thought to do that before they paid anyone anything, so I could tell them "That's a scam, don't send them money", and I ended up putting a warning up on my talk page in case the same happens to anyone else. Unfortunately, I imagine it will—and some people probably pay them the "protection money", see that nothing happens to the article, and figure that it worked.

- @Bilby and Seraphimblade: thanks both for the heads-up Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:31, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
Recovering a deleted article: Gyrotonic Expansion System
Hi! I can see that you removed the Gyrotonic Expansion System article almost ten years ago and I would like to see it back on Wikipedia similar to how we can find pages for Pilates, Yoga, Tai chi, and many other movement methods. It looks like the page is currently on the title blacklist so I wasn't able to create a new article. While this movement system has been around since the 1980s, it has gained significant interest and popularity over the last few years and there are many new articles and independent sources that could be cited to build a strong page, non promotional page to inform people about the movement system.

- MountainWild the title above was turned into a redirect for Gyrotonic, since it's difficult to see any logic in an article separate from Gyrotonic. The first version of that was deleted by me with this comment massive G12 [copyright violation] G11 [spam], no clean versions to restore and User:Maineartists added Copyvio came in at a staggering 87% and is clearly, without question a promotional page for the company Gyrotonic... It is mind-boggling to say the least that this article was ever allowed to be created. WP is not a place for advertising. Nevertheless, and article now exists under that title, which you have edited, and there is no prospect of the original being restored. Note that if you have a conflict of interest, you must declare it. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:45, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
I left a message on User talk:Secretlondon as the last active admin I saw - just in case you want to take a look as I am not sure if the admin is still online. Cahk (talk) 07:35, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Cahk thanks, I've revdeled and posted a final warning on their talk Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:41, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
Just letting you know that this was cleaned before you deleted it, so I restored it. Primefac (talk) 07:34, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- Primefac, thanks. Are you sure that it's ready for article space? No wikilinks, not even NASA, largely unsourced and a promotional tone. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:40, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Presidents height and weight article
I was wondering if I will get in trouble because I borrowed the height chart from another article. I added the weights to it and also included a new image on the side. I have previously been banned for copyright violation (I think something similar to this) and just wanted to make sure I am in the green. Pickup Andropov (talk) 04:19, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Pickup Andropov if you have copied within Wikipedia, it must be acknowledged and sourced, best at this stage to add that to the talk page as recommended in the link Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:04, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the advice. I put "Parts of this table was copied from Heights of presidents and presidential candidates of the United States; see that pages history for attribution." under the table. If there is a better way todo it please let me know. Pickup Andropov (talk) 15:30, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
