:I'd just like to note that I would object to an unblock of r2 at this time and in fact think this should be a ban given his years of incivility and inability to collaborate. There's a slew of PAs in the last few years, combined with his combative "it's not my fault" behavior that leads me to believe he's not actually here to contribute so much as argue and berate people.

Revision as of 20:26, 12 January 2021
User dispute
I am respectfully requesting admin assistance in resolving a dispute over a minor edit between myself and Surtsicna (User talk:Surtsicna|talk]]). User:Mr305worldwide (Mr305worldwide)
- The issue is this edit. Mr305worldwide is refusing to seek consensus for an edit that goes against WP:NOPIPE and WP:NOTBROKEN. Surtsicna (talk) 20:22, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
- Surtsicna is engaging in harassing and insulting behavior and has refused to permit the Third Opinion Project to resolve this matter when advised that it would be referred to said project.
- Admins do not settle content disputes. If this has been referred to dispute resolution that should be allowed to proceed by everyone involved. 331dot (talk) 20:59, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
- It should not have been referred to dispute resolution before being discussed on the talk page. WP:3O says that an issue must be "thoroughly discussed on the article talk page" before being submitted, and Mr305worldwide is explicitly refusing to do so. Surtsicna (talk) 21:14, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
- Then that should be brought up in the dispute resolution process, and it will likely be summarily dispensed with. Mr305worldwide, this is a collaborative project and you must discuss issues when there is a dispute. 331dot (talk) 21:26, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
- I have no issues with discussing it, however the user above has also engaged in systemic reversion of edits I have made to improve the quality of the article, in an attempt to get his way
- Also it is my contention that after reverting multiple edits of the same nature, an attempt should be made by the party reverting to make contact with the party who made jt asking why it was made. That way an edit war is avoided because it is clear to both parties as to why the edit was made, and why it was reverted. That’s not too much to ask.
- Then that should be brought up in the dispute resolution process, and it will likely be summarily dispensed with. Mr305worldwide, this is a collaborative project and you must discuss issues when there is a dispute. 331dot (talk) 21:26, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
- It should not have been referred to dispute resolution before being discussed on the talk page. WP:3O says that an issue must be "thoroughly discussed on the article talk page" before being submitted, and Mr305worldwide is explicitly refusing to do so. Surtsicna (talk) 21:14, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
- Admins do not settle content disputes. If this has been referred to dispute resolution that should be allowed to proceed by everyone involved. 331dot (talk) 20:59, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
You've been trouted for accusing me of introducing inappropriate pages when I was not. WP:AGF.Nononsense101 (talk) 22:13, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
- Nononsense101 I did not do otherwise. That you may have created the page in good faith does not change the fact that it was inappropriate. I stand by my notification. 331dot (talk) 22:09, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Deletion of account
331dot, plz I am just requesting u to give the note to developer as I said. If the developer wants, he will add the feature to delete account else he will not do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarika9140 (talk • contribs) 08:22, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
- Sarika9140 As I said, there are legal reasons that accounts cannot be deleted as well. All edits must be attributable to an account. You are not the first person to make such a suggestion. 331dot (talk) 08:25, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

I feel we meet these criteria as I've seen others that are on Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Stalker_(band)&oldid=997096750
How do I get this article out of the 'draft' mode? or does it need to be reviewed first?
Thanks in advance for your time and patience — Preceding unsigned comment added by GoodTimeGypsy (talk • contribs) 01:00, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) That revision had copyright problems so it may be revision-deleted by the time you see this, but the content is very close to the prose text found here starting at
Stalker is an American rock band
and continuing down toto more misses
. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 02:26, 30 December 2020 (UTC)- GoodTimeGypsy It will need to be submitted as a draft, but it is nowhere close to being acceptable at this time. If you just want to tell the world about your old band, you should use social media, a personal website, or other outlet where that is permitted and may have less stringent inclusion requirements. Wikipedia isn't just for documenting things; it summarizes only what independent reliable sources state. If you see other articles like your draft, please point those out so they can be addressed. As this is a volunteer project, it is possible to get inappropriate articles by us; we can only address what we know about. 331dot (talk) 07:53, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur_Bones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippo_Campus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Pe%C3%B1ate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psapp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_(band) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuck_(band) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azra https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Local_Band https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsigned_band_web
the idea is not to post an old band but from a local new jersey music scene standpoint, there is relevance for documenting the history of a movement and the musicians that were involved that encompasses a generation of underground music lovers around the world. wikipedia encompasses the idea of learning about people, places, and things not often found so easily. i understand that a subjective topic is a discrete piece of content that is about a specific subject, needs an identifiable purpose, and can stand alone. thanks again and happy new year!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by GoodTimeGypsy (talk • contribs) 18:05, 30 December 2020 (UTC) (talk)

Hi 331dot, apologies for rushing to report the accounts. I wasn't aware that there could be other reasons why they might create accounts. Thank you for your advice. I'll make sure not to repeat the same mistake. Have a very happy new year. Ashleyyoursmile! 13:42, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
- Ashleyyoursmile Happy new year as well. There are rare cases where a username can be reported (and blocked) without having edited, but those are usually limited to the most extreme vulgar words/phrases and WP:BLP violations. 331dot (talk) 13:45, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi, but how am i supposed to know which is a reliable source and which isn't?Sarmiento 007 (talk) 20:57, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- Sarmiento 007 A reliable source is that which has a reputation of fact checking and editorial control. Another way to put it is, the source does not make stuff up and can support what it publishes. A guide to how many sources are treated on Wikipedia can be found at WP:RSP. 331dot (talk) 21:14, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Please can you help me I am trying to edit in the correct fashion but I am just not succeeding...
Below is the entry I wish to publish for The British School of Paris. i have tried my best to keep it factual and have added a reference for the history at thee end. What is wrong with it? please could it be posted by someone who knows what they are doing? I have been trying for several weeks. Any help will be graatefully received. Thank you for your expertise.
The British School of Paris has a long history as a provider of British education in Paris. It is an independent fee-paying school with around 700 pupils, representing well over 50 nationalities. The BSP is one of the largest and longest-established British international schools in the world. The educational programme is based on the National Curriculum for England and Wales and its Patron is the serving British Ambassador to France. The school is located in the western suburbs of Paris in the small market town of Croissy-sur-Seine. Founded by Mary J. Cosyn in 1954, the then 'English School of Paris' quickly moved from its original Parisian address to the Chateau de Monte Cristo, the former home of Alexander Dumas, in Le Pecq just west of Paris. The majority of pupils in the early years were British, American and Canadian with parents employed mainly at the Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Powers in Europe (SHAPE). In 1964, the School moved again to its current home Llesna Court, 38 quai de l'Ecluse, Croissy-sur-Seine. By 1973 the continued rise in pupil numbers lead to the purchase of a second property in Bougival, specifically to house the Junior School pupils. In 1980 the school was transferred from private ownership and established under French law as the equivalent of a British charitable trust - a ‘not-for-profit’ association. With this change of status a Board of Governors was appointed with responsibility for overseeing the running and development of the School. By 1981 the school was officially renamed as The British School of Paris. During the intervening years expansion of both facilities and pupil numbers culminated in 2010 with the opening of a purpose-built Junior School just along the river from the Senior School campus. Campus development at the Senior School also evolved significantly, a refurbished multipurpose hall (the Kett Building) was inaugurated in December 2018 and an outdoor learning space will be completed by Spring 2021.

- If you represent the school, you must review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on formal disclosures you must make. This is easier to do with an account, but an account is not required. I gather you represent the school from the nature of the text you propose above.
- The text you propose sounds like a promotional brochure for the school. Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about a subject. Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources have chosen to write about a topic, showing how that topic meets Wikipedia's special definition of notability, in this case, the definition of a notable organization. Wikipedia is not interested in what a subject wants to say about itself; the school is free to do that on its own website. Wikipedia is only interested in what others have decided on their own to write about the school(not staff interviews, press releases, routine announcements, the school website, or other primary sources). This text you propose has no sources at all and would not be accepted. 331dot (talk) 16:38, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello 331dot, The cited content is about an actor Rajinikanth not about Maridhas. 157.51.22.191 (talk) 11:55, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for your note. I am doing this as a volunteer position for the ACSF group. So what exactly should I do? I am wondering how does other organization create articles such as companies. I am new to all of this and it is very confusing. I really appreciate if you just tell me what i need to do to make sure the page is published correctly and accepted by Wikipedia. Thanks again — Preceding unsigned comment added by Esmaeili.nooshin (talk • contribs) 00:31, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- Esmaeili.nooshin Organizations do not typically create articles(not "pages") about themselves due to the conflict of interest. If you just want to tell the world about your organization, you should use social media, your own website, or other alternative where that is permitted. I've said what you need to do in response to your previous inquiry. 331dot (talk) 00:37, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
TH question
Hi 331dot. You blocked the person who asked WP:THQ#Editors to neutralize a page! as a SOCK. Do you want to nuke the TH post or should it just be left alone. FWIW, the same editor submitted the draft to AfC for review as well. -- Marchjuly (talk) 14:02, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- I would probably leave it for now; this whole situation is being discussed on their user talk page. 331dot (talk) 14:08, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- ...but I now see that it was removed; and if it's okay with them it's okay with me. 331dot (talk) 14:08, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Hey, I thought I'd continue this here in order to try to reduce the temperature, since Ahrtoodeetoo is clearly pretty bothered by your messages.
I get what you mean - It might not hurt to update the block log.
I was leaning towards an unblock offer after assurances that it was a one-time issue, and won't happen again - now I think I'm going to remove that page from my watchlist. SQLQuery me! 19:46, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
