Please, I'm begging you. Teach me. Stein256 (talk) 00:27, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
Please teach me how to add sources and references to a Wikipedia article. Stein256 (talk) 00:32, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
- @Stein256:
- Find information-- books, magazines, newspapers, web sites, internet searches, google books, HighBeam, etc. (not so much blogs, press releases, user edited content)
- Note where the information came frrom
- Use template:cite to organize sourcing
- Add information in your own words.
- place template:cite with organized sourcing information between <ref> . . .</ref> tags after information added.
- proof read
- save.

Administrators' newsletter – March 2018
News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2018).
- Lourdes†
- AngelOfSadness • Bhadani • Chris 73 • Coren • Friday • Midom • Mike V
- † Lourdes has requested that her admin rights be temporarily removed, pending her return from travel.
- The autoconfirmed article creation trial (ACTRIAL) is scheduled to end on 14 March 2018. The results of the research collected can be read on Meta Wiki.
- Community ban discussions must now stay open for at least 24 hours prior to being closed.
- A change to the administrator inactivity policy has been proposed. Under the proposal, if an administrator has not used their admin tools for a period of five years and is subsequently desysopped for inactivity, the administrator would have to file a new RfA in order to regain the tools.
- A change to the banning policy has been proposed which would specify conditions under which a repeat sockmaster may be considered de facto banned, reducing the need to start a community ban discussion for these users.
- CheckUsers are now able to view private data such as IP addresses from the edit filter log, e.g. when the filter prevents a user from creating an account. Previously, this information was unavailable to CheckUsers because access to it could not be logged.
- The edit filter has a new feature
contains_all
that edit filter managers may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string.
- Following the 2018 Steward elections, the following users are our new stewards: -revi, Green Giant, Rxy, There'sNoTime, علاء.
- Bhadani (Gangadhar Bhadani) passed away on 8 February 2018. Bhadani joined Wikipedia in March 2005 and became an administrator in September 2005. While he was active, Bhadani was regarded as one of the most prolific Wikipedians from India.
Decline of two unblock requests
I notice that you declined two unblock requests at User talk:Jamalcrao. Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Unblock requests is a bit vague about this: it just says "by convention, administrators don't usually review more than one unblock request regarding the same block", rather than "administrators must not review more than one unblock request regarding the same block", but I still think it is much better never to do it, so that the blocked editor gets an independent review from another person. Even in a case where a request so obviously needs declining may seem that it will make no difference who declines it, giving the blocked editor a reason to claim unfairness is something better avoided.
(Incidentally, I recently suddenly realised what your user name must mean. It now seems so blindingly obvious that I can't imagine why I didn't think of it long ago.) The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:49, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Edit filter request
Is that really the most appropriate name for a requested filter you could come up with? One does not wish to have those words appearing in the watchlist. DuncanHill (talk) 18:45, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
- @DuncanHill:Sorry, had no idea how to request an edit filter addition and probably botched it. Seemed like a term we could filter out so it stops appearing on user talk pages and in articles. Thanks--Dlohcierekim (talk) 19:17, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

news1india is news channel i want to build a page on wiki pedia
hi this is zeeshan from news1india want to creat my company page on wikepedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zee101010 (talk • contribs) 11:15, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
@Zee101010: That presents as problem as you have a WP:COI and might meet criteria for WP:PAID. I see you made the disclosure on your user page. I do not recommend trying to create articles on subjects with which one has a connection. I know from personal experience it's easy to not see one is writing with a conflict of interest. If your sole purpose on Wikipedia is to create an article on your company, that might not work out to your satisfaction, as the subject might not meet notability guidelines. Please read the deletion notice I left on your talk page. It would be best to use the article wizard to help you find reliable sources that speak on the subject in sufficient depth to meet notability requirements. 08:12, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
Need Help
Hi Dlohcierekim, I saw that you've deleted my newly created article. I've been trying to publish my first article but it seems I can't seem to fit the criteria. It's hard to write new articles about famous people who don't have yet a wikipedia page so the moment I read an article about the guy "Jim Kwik" and watch a video in goalcast I thought he's relevant enough and I found out he don't have wikipedia page, so I wrote one. I'm going to write another article about a Filipino Miss Intercontinental 1st runner. Can you check it later and advice me what to be aware of so that it won't be read as an advertisement? Thanks Shenalyn2018 (talk) 07:53, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
@Shenalyn201: It would be best if you use the WP:article wizard and run new creations through WP:AFC. Articles need sufficient coverage in reliable sources to meet notability guidelines. The reviewers at AfC will review your drafts and make recommendations if there are problems that need to be fixed. Creating new articles can be harder than it looks. My first attempts were also deleted. It's best to have them review new articles as they are very good at that.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 08:03, 5 March 2018 (UTC) @Dlohcierekim: Thanks for the tips, will do that.

Please stop removing material that I added that is sourced. My sources are here at https://www.setlist.fm/stats/covers/alan-jackson-bd6b14e.html. You can see that Alan Jackson covered those rappers I mentioned many, many times (over 100). Just so that you and User:TenPoundHammer know. --Bars and Waves (talk) 18:36, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

Alan Jackson sock
Bars and Waves (talk · contribs) is another obvious Jack Gaines/Superpassword/Ebenezer Stooge sock targeting Alan Jackson articles. Would it be possible to indef semi-protect the pages they targeted, and add the specific setlist.fm URLs to the block filter? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 00:49, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
- @TenPoundHammer: Indeed. CHRISSYMAD and I recognized him pretty quick. You might have noticed he paid you a visit as well. I'm reluctant to indef semi so many articles especially. I'll probably ask Oshwah and AlexShih if they would support the idea. Maybe an AN thread? I hate the drahmaz, though. The pages are on my watch list, and I guess CHRISSYMAD's as well, so his return was brief and unrewarding. Adding an edit filter for setlist.fm sounds like a good idea, but I've never tried to edit the edit filter. I'll put in a request there. Can you point me to any pages aside from the SPI about him? I'd like any documentation in easy reach to refer to at need, especially if I need to discuss in depth. Thanks--Dlohcierekim (talk) 02:36, 6 March 2018 (UTC).

Draft:Ana Khouri
Hi,
I noticed your note on the Draft:Ana Khouri submission. I was curious to know what in particular you thought should be amended in terms of tone or sourcing. Thank you in advance. JamesGoodman (talk) 17:00, 6 March 2018 (UTC)JamesGoodman
@JamesGoodman: the overall tone is non neutral. Perhaps the reviewers, @Legacypac and Theroadislong:, can delve more deeply into specifics. They are better at this than am I. You can improve sourcing format using template:cite. Otherwise, the name of the source and other info does not show up. Just a number. I see it was created by Harkness2014 and that you made subsequent edits.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 17:49, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
- I don't recall the draft. I process hundreds of drafts a month for deletion User:Legacypac/CSD_log and since I'm not an Admin I can't see it now. Sorry. Legacypac (talk) 17:53, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Island Corridor Foundation
Hi there Thanks for adding protection to this page. I previously submitted a request for protection for this page but it was denied, despite this vandalism being the same as had previously warranted a protection. Can you tell me what process you were responding to so I can determine if I followed the correct WP process to ask for it? Thanks James.au (talk) 04:41, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
- @James.au: You did it right. I guess the vandalism from 2/28 plus from now just looked like enough to me. There were no/few IP edits that were not vandalism, so to me benefit out-weighed the risk of collateral damage.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 04:57, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

WW2 collaboration Poland
I'd like to make a request if I could revert back all the nonsense that was going in in the Poland section to the March 3rd version, when the last steps from the ORIGINAL discussion were done (merged back the sub-sections and removed reference to 2018 law) [1]. So, this is before the food fight started. At this point the text is a mess, and the people on both sides who wanted to disrupt the article won. --E-960 (talk) 17:30, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Done
- I know this solution won't make everyone on both sides of the debate content, but it's better to see more info in the section before the last round of fighting started, and in a month have folks return to discussion, than to have this chopped up and fragmented version in place at the time of the block — much appreciated. --E-960 (talk) 18:48, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Comment: See this discussion on Talk:Collaboration with the Axis Powers during World War II. The request above is by one of the parties in the dispute that lead to full protection of the article, wanting the article returned to a version they prefer, and not a return to a long-time stable, and neutral, version of the Polish section of the article. Instead it is a partisan view on the collaboration in Poland during WW II, trying to shift blame away from ethnic Poles, and over to the Polish Jews themselves. - Tom | Thomas.W talk 19:03, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
- @Thomas.W: What then is the last stable version? That is where we need to go.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 19:06, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
- @Thomas.W: I reverted further. I suppose the best course would be to remove most of the section and just leave a link to the man article about ref's on the section. --Dlohcierekim (talk) 19:11, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) In order to return the Polish section to a reasonably neutral version we need to go back to sometime in January, at least, but until we find which version is best, and supported by most editors (the article desperately needs input from many more editors than the ones who have edited it lately...) I support removing most of the sectin, with a note that the content is disputed... 19:17, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Deletion
Hi Dlohcierekim, I noticed you deleted the page The DuchAz just moments after it was restored by User:Graeme Bartlett.

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rusboot (talk • contribs) 23:04, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

- @Justlettersandnumbers: See above.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 23:17, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the ping, Dlohcierekim – I had in fact seen what had happened. Since everyone is chucking in their two pice, here's mine: from memory, there was little or no useable content in that page, which was mostly copied from FaceBook. If anyone wants to make a page on that topic they'd probably save themselves time by starting from scratch. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:32, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
- So, the page has been re-created; should the previous history be revdeleted and histmerged into it, or doesn't it matter (I never know)? Dlohcierekim, can you tell me if the previous content was created by the same editor? Because if so, we may have a problem: I've just speedied Chad Tennies as G11/G12, copied more or less verbatim from his website by this editor. Rusboot, I see that your very first edit was to declare a paid relationship, but I don't know what it relates to. Should you have made similar decorations in relation to other pages you have created? I find it more than slightly curious that you should have created within twenty-four hours "ready-made" pages on two singers, Nandy and Mwasiti, managed by the same "talent manager" in Dar es-Salaam. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:06, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
- @Justlettersandnumbers:If the deleted has the same name, the histories are merged. If one's a draft and the other mainspace, I would not bother if they are deleted. Any non deleted version probably does not need a hist merge a deleted version as the deleted version was deletable, except perhaps if one was deleted under WP:ProD. I think you might want to report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. A centralized discussion may be needed.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 16:45, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks, Dlohcierekim! Yes, sorry to clutter your talk-page with this, but there was already some discussion here ... Why I asked about the DuchAz content and who created it was because Chad Tennies (which of course I've only nominated for deletion, not actually deleted, which I can't do) has copyright problems and so did that; if both were the same editor then there may be a more general concern. I'll wait to see if Rusboot replies before starting a WP:COIN thread. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:58, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Because if so, we may have a problem: I've just speedied Chad Tennies as G11/G12, copied more or less verbatim from his website by this editor. Rusboot, I see that your very first edit was to declare a paid relationship, but I don't know what it relates to. Should you have made similar decorations in relation to other pages you have created? I find it more than slightly curious that you should have created within twenty-four hours "ready-made" pages on two singers, Nandy and Mwasiti, managed by the same "talent manager" in Dar es-Salaam. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:06, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the ping, Dlohcierekim – I had in fact seen what had happened. Since everyone is chucking in their two pice, here's mine: from memory, there was little or no useable content in that page, which was mostly copied from FaceBook. If anyone wants to make a page on that topic they'd probably save themselves time by starting from scratch. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:32, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
Sorry for the late response User:Justlettersandnumbers, I had created Nandy (singer) and Mwasiti within the same day because I am a paid editor. A client had requested me to create them. I had found both images at Wikipedia commons shortly after a quick search and decided to use them on the pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rusboot (talk • contribs) 12:00, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi Dlohcierekim, I noticed you deleted the page O'right few days ago. It says "The huge list of non-notable awards is indicative of the promotional issue" in the reviewer comments. Truth is, I have no intention at all to promote the brand or the company but to list simple facts. Now that I understand the long list of awards does no help and is unnecessary, I would like to work on it and fix latest problems mentioned. Could you kindly restore the page as a draft? Thanks P.teng (talk) 02:17, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
- @P.teng: Sorry, I must decline. As a WP:CSD#G11 deletion, it will need to be rewritten from scratch, with verifiable information from third party WP:reliable sources unconnected with the subject. The entirety of the content was promotional. Please read the pages linked in my deletion notice for more ideas about what to avoid. cheers, and happy editing. --Dlohcierekim (talk) 03:47, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
Advice: Eltomas2003
Hi. Recently on my Meta-wiki talk page, the user known as Eltomas2003 came and "challenged" me to first turn Optinus Prime and later Fullmetal Alchemist into GAs. I have little to no interest in either one, and the user was uncomfortably persistent. Have you any advice for this situation? Having read up about the user's history on Wikipedia prior to being banned, I'm worried this might escalate. I haven't replied (or rather refused their request) on their follow-up Fullmetal Alchemist section yet because of this. I'm certainly not willing to be used as a puppet, as I think this is what the user's attempting. --ProtoDrake (talk) 16:52, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
- Outta my league. They also had a few choice words about my block decline. I don't know how to report users on meta. You might ask at WP:AN. I think [User:zzuuzz]] has rights there. Maybe he can help.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 16:57, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Deletion
I see you've declined my draft for Casty. The problem is, there is nary any usable information about him (or other comics creators), my draft was a first attempt that I had hoped somebody else could have cleaned up and improved upon. It also was not meant as advertising, but as some basic information (I would have far preferred if somebody deleted what is supposedly "advertising", and left in AT LEAST THE BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION!) As an article, I thought it was reading nicely, compared to the article about Giorgio Cavazzano which says almost nothing at all, includes no sources whatsoever and includes a highly debatable statement, yet has been around for over a decade with nobody complaining.
Comic historian Joe Torcivia called Casty "The Modern Master of the Mouse" repeatedly, in Italy he has received numerous trophies etc., even those who do not like him, admit that he is currently the most important and influential Disney creator. So, hopefully, somebody can write something about him soon. There is a reason Boom! and now IDW have been printing so much of his work. Anybody who has more than 1 entry on the Inducks Top 100 Disney comics list should really deserve a Wikipedia article, and particularly those who are still around and creating!

Veruska Ljubisavljevic recreated
Hello, I was wondering if you could shed some light on an article's history for me. I came across Veruska Ljubisavljevic while reviewing new articles, and saw that it was deleted via G5 in the past. Hardly surprising given the recent number sock accounts creating articles related to models. Given that you are an admin, could you 1. Link me the editor who created the article in the past (they are blocked now, hence the past G5) and why they were blocked and 2. See if the current article is similar to the deleted article? It would be of great help. SamHolt6 (talk) 03:46, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

CanadianBiographies11111 (talk) 14:53, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
- @CanadianBiographies11111: Thanks for your note. Please see the message I left on your talk page. This content was clearly promotional in nature requiring total rewrite. The talk page content was no less "luminous". Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not a venue to promote the luminous nature of the subject. I'm sorry, but I cannot restore such promotional, non neutral content.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 15:00, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
- Hello, Dlohcierekim, naturally both you and David Goodman know far more about these things than I do. Would a stub be more appropriate for this listing, basically eliminating anything that smacks of "promotion?" I understand and fully respect your concerns and determination to preserve WIKIPEDIA standards. Frankly, I will confess I was nervous about this particular listing for one particular reason: before I spent the approx. 13-14 hours researching the pertinent info, I discovered there was a speedy delete of the same name almost 10 years ago, but I was unable to contact the editor who performed it so as to determine if it was the same person. Nevertheless I proceeded apace, recognizing just how generic the doctor's name happens to be. I should note the doctor's name originally came to my attention in a discussion with a respected Canadian who believes this doctor should (and will) be nominated for a much renowned Canadian award, one that confers immediate notability by WIKIPEDIA standards. In a library, I found his name in a Who's Who in Alberta, but the publication did not appear via any google.ca search, so I could not provide that footnote. Anyway, please apprise, and of course, naturally, I will abide by your final decision, along with that of David Goodman. Thank you.

Hi Dlohcierekim,
You have deleted the "Smagra Portal" page which I had created yesterday and the reason mentioned is "Unambiguous advertising or promotion". The content or article which I had added in Wikipedia is about "Samagra Portal" (<<removed ex link>>" is maintained by the Madhya Pradesh State Government, India. Which is not a private portal.
In this website user will find about all Madhya Pradesh Government schmes list and they can apply for Pension, Scholarship, Ration card and Loans.

Can I make a template sandbox in my own userspace
Can I copy a template into my own user space and then make edit requests to other users by asking them to male edits like I make in the sandbox? I don't want to get banned for "gaming the system" by making a sandbox of a template so I am asking this here to confirm, making sandbox edits seem easier to explain than having to explain which items I want moved and/or added to what part. --Donald Trung (talk) 14:13, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- Donald Trung, anyone is allowed to make edit requests to templates. It might make more sense to do the sandboxing in the /sandbox version of the template, but there's no rule on where sandboxing can/should occur. Primefac (talk) 14:20, 28 March 2018 (UTC) (talk page stalker)
- Not for me, I am not allowed to edit the /sandbox version or I'll get an indefinite siteban from the English Wikipedia which is why I ask if I can create a separate sandbox in my own userspace of the concerned template. I am not sure if that would be considered "disruptive editing" or "gaming the system" so I am asking it first before making a sandbox as I am still allowed to edit user space. --Donald Trung (talk) 14:40, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- Given that (from what I can tell) Dlohcierekim has had nothing to do with your block or unblock conditions, it sorta does sound like you're trying to game the system. You might want to ask the admin who actually imposed the restriction. Primefac (talk) 14:48, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- Alright, but how does it sound like gaming the system? As I am allowed to make edit requests and editing a sandbox isn't the same as editing a template, note that I am simply asking this to want to know how exactly how it would harm the encyclopedia. I will ask the unblocking admin now. --Donald Trung (talk) 14:51, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – April 2018
News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2018).
- 331dot • Cordless Larry • ClueBot NG
- Gogo Dodo • Pb30 • Sebastiankessel • Seicer • SoLando
- Administrators who have been desysopped due to inactivity are now required to have performed at least one (logged) administrative action in the past 5 years in order to qualify for a resysop without going through a new RfA.
- Editors who have been found to have engaged in sockpuppetry on at least two occasions after an initial indefinite block, for whatever reason, are now automatically considered banned by the community without the need to start a ban discussion.
- The notability guideline for organizations and companies has been substantially rewritten following the closure of this request for comment. Among the changes, the guideline more clearly defines the sourcing requirements needed for organizations and companies to be considered notable.
- The six-month autoconfirmed article creation trial (ACTRIAL) ended on 14 March 2018. The post-trial research report has been published. A request for comment is now underway to determine whether the restrictions from ACTRIAL should be implemented permanently.
- There will soon be a calendar widget at Special:Block, making it easier to set expiries for a specific date and time.
- The Arbitration Committee is considering a change to the discretionary sanctions procedures which would require an editor to appeal a sanction to the community at WP:AE or WP:AN prior to appealing directly to the Arbitration Committee at WP:ARCA.
- A discussion has closed which concluded that administrators are not required to enable email, though many editors suggested doing so as a matter of best practice.
- The Foundations' Anti-Harassment Tools team has released the Interaction Timeline. This shows a chronologic history for two users on pages where they have both made edits, which may be helpful in identifying sockpuppetry and investigating editing disputes.

Without any consensus, or previous discussions, he has been doing some incorrect and unadvised edittings, as you can see in his edditing history, like, for instance, putting the term "greek" in every article that involves "Macedonia". He has been instructed by me and other users to stop this behaviour but he didn't and even deleted all warnings in his talk page. He got to the point of name calling, by calling me a 'slav' (didn't even know that was an insult).
Clearely he has an agenda and is using wikipeida to promoted it/defending it. He is ignoring warning from multiple users, engaging in disruptive editing, using other IPs for vandalism, name calling and disrespecting users in general who either disagrees with him or wants to discuss the content of the articles first. He has been warned multiple times and even has been accused of sock puppetry, but chose to ignore everything and everyone. So, i'm in need of instructions now. Thank you for your attention, Coltsfan (talk) 13:14, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Coltsfan: I think this sounds like the sort of problem they deal with at WP:AN/I. When you post there, be sure to notify the other part per instructions at the top of the page. Cheers, --Dlohcierekim (talk) 13:17, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello, As I am new to wiki editing and I just wanted to see how best to add a page or request it THANK YOU! — Preceding unsigned comment added by BurgundyProd (talk • contribs) 14:53, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
@BurgundyProd: Thanks for your note. You would want to run it to the WP:article wizard. It will give you step-by-step guidance. However, I doubt the subject will meet the general notability guideline or the notability guideline for musical artists, WP:Music. Hopefully you can find significant, in depth coverage in wp:reliable sources unconnected with the subject and with a reputation for fact checking. You must be careful to avoid promotional wordage and to maintain a neutral tone. Hope that helps.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 15:01, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Views on Fellow Wikipedia Administrators
Do you think it would be safe to say that the administrators here on Wikipedia are “tough but fair”?198.246.186.214 (talk) 00:25, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
I believe they intend to be, and put great effort into being fair. However, in my opinion I have witnessed them violate wikipedia guidelines on numerous occasions in handling my sincere request for help re: a page that discussed me for 4 years: in not replying in timely fashion after a very serious accusation, not allowing edits that the page label invited, using unprofessional and unbecoming language publicly, and then semantic argument accusing me of being "an outsider" as opposed to a team player because of pronoun choices after sincere attempts to both educate, delete as suggested and assist. I am now waiting for final resolution, but with dismay and frankly, a little bit of shock. I respect that the admin created this topic and am glad they wish for feedback, a testament to their interest in quality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Megamediamissus (talk • contribs) 06:14, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
@Megamediamissus I completely agree with everything you said. I felt like I was treated unfairly in a block appeal earlier this month, which is why I asked the question. It’s good to know that others feel like outsiders, too. 198.246.186.213 (talk) 03:32, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

If it is from reliable sources with a reputation for fact checking and independent of the subject, just cite as you go. Also, as he is Nepalese and I live in the US, I would probably not have access to media about him, so please feel free to cite your sources. Thanks, --Dlohcierekim (talk) 05:48, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Protecting the page and reverting was not the right action to take. There was a lot of constructive editing going on, with much discussion on the talk page, and it was improving the article. Your edit reverted a bunch of changes on which many editors collaborated and reached consensus. The only issue was that Depinoir kept adding OR and being reverted, but that had nothing to do with any of the other edits. Waleswatcher (talk) 20:33, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Waleswatcher: thanks for your note. Can you point me to the last good version? We'll need full protection till the other matter settles.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 20:36, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- The last good version seems to be this edit, the one immediately before your protection + revert + dispute flag. The only 'dispute' involving systematic reverting is the perfectly reasonable systematic reverting by several editors (not including me, tho I have no objection to these reverts) of the very dubious solo run by Depinoir, who has so far not sought to discuss anything on Talk. The rest is the subject of normal ongoing cooperative discussion and editing, apart perhaps from a separate very tedious dispute mostly between me and Banedon (about Galaxies without DM) but which is being conducted by very tedious but civil discussion on the Talk page without any edit-warring. Tlhslobus (talk) 23:31, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
As many people seem to have gone to bed, perhaps including Waleswatcher and your good self, I am now going to try to revert back to that version myself (if permissions allow me to do so, etc). If I succeed and you are not happy about that then as an admin (unlike me) you can always undo my reverts.Tlhslobus (talk) 23:39, 10 April 2018 (UTC)- As it happens, I don't have the necessary permissions to do so myself.Tlhslobus (talk) 23:41, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Translating Tin-Tin (tatoueur)
Hello, You decided to delete the article I wrote for Tin-Tin (tattoo artist). In essence I want to translate the Wiki French article on Tin-Tin (one of the World's most famous artists) to English (and a few other languages).
What can I do to not have it deleted?
Thank you.

There you can better source the thing. Please remember that Wikipedia is user edited, so Wikipedia articles cannot be used to source Wikipedia articles.

Your question, my answers and sincere confusion as to how best assist
Hi there, I know you are very busy, thank you. If possible, can you pls help me out in understanding the messages I am seeing, or if I may help you? I am referring to the talk page on which you left me a question re compensation, and asked me not to edit until this was addressed. Best, Kelly
Apparent violation of your guidlines, kindly assist== Ok, I asked a friend to "improve" as the page had invited, and it did not save his changes. This was something I felt was helpful - deleting all but very precise facts. I don't understand your view of myself as "excepted from your community", as i didn't realize you have a membership, but pls advice if a simpler, factual based page is possible as I don't see why I am considered a spammer - please define spammer, or "what makes an insider?" I never expected this nature of issue and it is difficult for me to accept without understanding. If you maintain this view, which seems petty in my opinion at best and unregulated or contrary to your guidelines, then I truly have no idea what your purpose is. I will cancel my financial support, as i no longer find this ethical. I have been in touch with your Canadian PR contact out of concern for what I feel is action unbecoming to your organization and as a journalist and broadcaster, who made honest attempts to be helpful and was treated in the manner I was, I feel I did wikipedia a service. I advice you to consider the expectation of professionalism when using language that is public if you invite trust, not alienates that is poorly explained and appears semantic based and contrary to your guidelines. ==
Hello sir,
I wish to suggest that your team be more professional, as you suggest acting in 'good faith' or assuming such. I brought my page to your attention for help. I was accused of fraud, being paid, and then this language:
(not directed to me in a courteous way, nor were my queries answered). I feel this shows pettiness on the part of your team, and decreases your credibility. Regardless of their many reads on my character, there were more references than I could handle, nbut no one made any direct suggestions to me. I don't wish to use, financially support, or promote this service in future. I was very courteous. This is not acceptable.
Delete. almost entirely promotional in intent, and and I do not think the existing article can bevrescued. Theat the subject of the article seems to fell they are entitled to having an article here is not an argument for keeping. DGG ( talk ) 08:32, 14 April 2018 (UTC) No, as it is artspam I would say the subject wanting the article argues against. Wikipedia is not a venue for self-promotion.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 17:20, 14 April 2018 (UTC)ok, wow. thank you, i guess. I asked for the source you requested. sorry i couldn't be of help
I had much more faith in your system prior, and find this highly childish adding the others made by the person who argues to keep pages. This is simply my opinion.
I am sorry to bother you, but felt it worthy to mention
You may edit the article during the discussion Shortcut WP:EDITATAFD You and others are welcome to continue editing the article during the discussion period. Indeed, if you can address the points raised during the discussion by improving the article, you are encouraged to edit a nominated article (noting in the discussion that you have done so if your edits are significant ones).
I was instructed not to edit my article until notice. You have not provided me proper protocol.*** I read that I should be bold*, and admin are encouraged to remedy errors. I see many, many sources - mainly when i took a moment and looked for them while having little to do after surgery, and then someone assisted me and the edits were rejected. I am only reading petty conclusions. I am confused as to how this reflects neutrality on your part, or how you feel there are no sources, or my feeling a topic is worthy makes it "unworthy"? I feel you require feedback at this time. We all do. If the syntax was the issue, it would have been of great help to be told. You did not afford me this courtesy. Why is my opinion an issue over facts? I was assumed to be someone with poor motives. you don't consider this is untrue. I feel this is contrary to your guidelines. I welcome and hope for your reply. I truly feel this is difficult to understand based on a plethora of sources on an issue of notability, less myself, but more so ensuing events I was part of. Again, my opinion is not on trial, according to your guidelines. Is it?
I admin a large group, and yet it is tiny compared to this - this must be exhausting. I am exhausted.

@Megamediamissus: Sorry you feel this way, but I think the entirety of the problem is summed up in two words--"your team". As a member of the community, you would see it as "our team" not "your team". I think the problem is that you are an "outsider", someone not part of the community, by choice. This only reinforces the perception the community has formed that you are an interloper come not to build the encyclopedia, but to add spam to it. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Articles need to be about people with neutral coverage by reliable sources unconnected with the subject in significant amounts. I'm a deletionist, so if it were just me saying the subject does not meet our inclusion requirements, chances are an inclusionist would argue against me point-by-pint to keep. This has not been the case. DGG is an inclusionist, and would have argued "keep" very articulately if the content met inclusion criteria. That four experienced users have all seen this content in the same way gives high confidence that our perceptions are correct. There is further discussion at the AfD that I will not elaborate on further. I'm sorry the outcome could not be more favorable.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 23:17, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
I do believe you are sorry for this, and thank you. I am too.
I wish to be clear that I did not write the entirety of content or the majority at all and this is not 'MY' page at all, and I am under no impression it is. It is information. I recently admitted to improving grammar as I would do so and was encouraged to improve. When I did examine sources, I found many more that seemed much more to what you sought, and I had not known this. It is clear they cannot be added, though I was never answered pending your initial accusation of my being a black box seo hire, a serious accusation.
I truly felt I would be treated as someone politely asking to be helped or to assist. As per your labelled request for improvement, a friend offered to "improve" via fact adding as the page had invited, they claim to support this issue, and while I read that you request all contributors be unconnected, 4 years past during which you had no issues with content being added to a page that discussed me in many ways, albeit poorly - and that is a long time for such a sudden blast of accusations. This led me to wish to assist you quickly and as "human judgment is above your rules" according to your inclusionist, I wished to err on the side of being helpful, and it did not save any changes. This was something I felt was helpful to YOU noting chrissy's frustration in her public comments- deleting all but very precise facts. I wanted to be courteous.
I don't understand your view of myself as "excepted from your community", as I didn't realize you have a membership, but pls advise me on how to view this community and my role now. "what makes an insider?" Are all contributors evaluated and assumed to be nefarious as rapidly as I was upon asking for help? Are their guidelines for this? I am a volunteer too, and for a cause I believe in, and I respect those who give of their gifts. I simply expect more from them as I expect them to care more than those seeking a salary alone. I never expected this nature of issue and it is difficult for me to accept without understanding. If you maintain this view, which seems petty in my opinion at best and unregulated or contrary to your guidelines, then I truly have no idea what your purpose is.
I will cancel my financial support, as i no longer find this ethical or worth further arguing and i am not educated well, and in process I seem to be continually damaging things. I have been in touch with your Canadian PR contact out of concern for what I feel is action unbecoming to your organization and as a journalist and broadcaster who made honest attempts to be helpful and was treated in the manner I was, I feel I did wikipedia a service to improve it. I advise you to consider an expectation of professionalism when using language that is public if you invite trust, as that type of chatter alientates people in my view and is poorly explained, or appears semantic based and contrary to your guidelines . - essentially, it feels very unprofessional and a system that is not intended to invite anything positive.
I also requested options, and was given none, but I was told quite quickly I am a spammer, an outsider, entitled non team player... (and all member surely begin at the beginning, yet this is my beginner experience after reaching out - a poor example in my opinion for other beginners) - essentially, not part of your community due to my use of an adjective - something others should possibly be warned of as they struggle to learn about what is now feeling like an exclusionary creation? I implore you to view my comments with respect as i have that for you, and am truly confused, seeking understanding. If this is the manner in which you proceed, I wish no part of the community and will stop educating myself and advise others to be cautious. I grew up without the benefit of compueters. i struggle with them now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Megamediamissus (talk • contribs) 06:01, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

I edited this as I am recovering from surgery, and this is an unavoidable process at this time, and revisions were important to accurately represent my opinion. I do not feel ownership of the page.
I don't believe we are entitled to anything in life.
It is a collection of citations. I am the subject of much of the page. I don't understand how you wish me to modify this paragraph, but thank you for your attention. I had to make many edits. I am now exhausted of the matter. I do appreciate your suggestion, and wish I knew how to accommodate.
- Since you are recovering from surgery, you should be focusing on getting better, not worrying about this stuff. Wikipedia is not going anywhere. Take a break and come back, maybe in a few days. Just rest and focus on that. --‖ Ebyabe talk - Union of Opposites ‖ 07:18, 18 April 2018 (UTC)That is very thoughtful of you.

I don't know what to expect but you are right. you are much appreciated.

That article included highly promotional phrases such as "wonderful Pisa Hills", "pristine landscape of the Tuscan countryside", "a perfect place for the cultivation of quality grapes", " a pure expression of Tuscany", "an exaltation of pure Merlot" and "in order to show even more respect for its unspoiled nature". This type of language violates our core content policy requiring that articles be written from the neutral point of view, and that any evaluative language be attributed to a reliable, independent source, rather than being expressed in Wikipedia's voice. The article was unreferenced, which violates our core content policy of verifiability. In conclusion, deletion of the article was entirely proper. Perhaps a newly written article on this winery might be accepted, but it would have to comply with our policies and guidelines. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 01:32, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- If you want a specific article for comparison purposes, please take a look at at article about a winery that I wrote, Hagafen Cellars. Please note that there are 32 references in that article and all evaluative statements are attributed to wine industry experts. Your article was a tourist brochure. Mine is an encyclopedia article. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 01:37, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
If it is a tourist brochure, simply remove the offending words not the whole article. How would you describe picturesque hills. It is part of the charm of a winery. It is a work in progress. Rather than destroying, try helping. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kirk clendinning (talk • contribs) 01:39, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Kirk clendinning: It sounds like a brochure because it, essentially, is a brochure. The text is lifted from the company's website, in violation of copyright. —C.Fred (talk) 01:41, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
@Kirk clendinning: Sorry, no. You need to rewrite the thing. We will not allow an advert to do adverty things. Once again, I invite you to read the message I left on your talk page. I invite you to use the WP:article wizard to guide you through the article creation process. Using WP:reliable sources with a reputation for fact checking and unconnected with the subject, in neutral, non brochure language. Thanks.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 02:12, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
I'm used to using a wiki to incrementally write an article. Rather than simply removing the page allow me more than 10 minutes to modify it. Modifications can't be done with the swiftness you editors gleefully destroyed the page. Tell me that the page doesn't meet your standards, reply to my comments that it was similar to other pages of its kind and then allow me to change it. You people act like you are the judge, jury and executioners. You are not. I disagree with the way the page was removed without time to be edited. There was useful information there. I edited it again and took out the flowery words and again it was removed. If this continues I will file a grievance citing the unprofessional way that this was handled.
Continuing, there was no reason to remove my images from other pages. They were the same as the images already there. In the case of Chianti, it was in the Chianti section rather than the classico section. It was a reasonable example. The same as the other images. In my opinion those were take down for spite and I will state that in my grievance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.26.188.28 (talk) 02:24, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry, we've explained matters to you as thoroughly as we can. I'm the only admin I know of who leaves explanatory guidance after deleting a page. I'm sorry you cannot or will not follow the instructions and advice we've given you. wp:an is thataway. Feel free.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 02:28, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
@C.Fred: sigh.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 02:31, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- As I just noted on the registered account's talkpage, we can't allow substantial amounts of copyrighted content to remain in the article history - that's policy. As for the images, in the context of the promotional nature of the deleted article, the absence of metadata and the advertising-like images, removal is generally indicated unless a consensus can be made on the relevant talkpages for inclusion, as with any other content. If it seems spammy and is in context with other promotional content, it causes concern. Acroterion (talk) 03:12, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
@Acroterion:ach, so. --Dlohcierekim (talk) 03:35, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- Earlier I reverted [5] our IP's attempt to swap out an image at Cabernet Sauvignon as a good-faith attempt to improve the article. After reading the above comments, methinks good faith is wearing thin.--SamHolt6 (talk) 03:42, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- @SamHolt6:thin as though cut by a microtome.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 03:47, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
Volt Europa deletion
Hi Dlohcierekim, I created the Volt Europa page which you deleted. Can you please retrieve the text so I can work on it, thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TiberiusvVS (talk • contribs) 08:35, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- Restored to Draft:Volt Europa I stubbed the thing. Please remove promotional language before readding. Please look at previous user's edits to see if they are useful. Please do not include social media links as it makes it too spammy for words.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 12:21, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Deletion of a Draft
Hi Dlohcierekim,
I am writing in regards to a draft you recently deleted. Draft: 10ZiG Technology. You said the draft "has been deleted as meeting WP:CSD#G11. "This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to conform with Wikipedia:NOTFORPROMOTION." These must be rewritten from scratch from "reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject." See WP:RS."
Can you please specify how and where there is promotional content that justifies the deletion of the draft?
Thank you,
--Ashleemann (talk) 16:44, 20 April 2018 (UTC) ashleemann
- Ashleemann, it's likely because the entire thing reads more like a promotional flier than a neutral Wikipedia article. The first three paragraphs are full of jargon, promotional tone, and listings of seemingly every company they do business with. The rest is just trivia about how the founder picked out a name. So yes, it does require a fundamental rewrite to be encyclopedic. Primefac (talk) 16:52, 20 April 2018 (UTC) (talk page stalker)
Okay, may I request my page content back to make appropriate edits?
--Ashleemann (talk) 16:56, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Ashleemann: Certainly, but it's all ad copy. Enable email and I'll email it to you. --Dlohcierekim (talk) 18:07, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Dlohcierekim: Okay thank you. My email is now enabled. --Ashleemann (talk) 14:55, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
Done--Dlohcierekim (talk) 22:54, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Be patient.
It takes time for every thing to happen same is with the links to be mentioned for my articles. I wonder why robots like to be Panic. Even the exams wait for at least 6 months. So isn't it obvious that well prepration also require an examination after some time. Please Don't Panic like a student who is is afraid of everyday class test.
