Hillel International
Thank you for write-protecting the article Hillel International! I wonder if you can also restore the article to the November 16 version which is the latest version before the disruptive edits began? ImTheIP (talk) 15:44, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Edit I made to the FarmVille page
Hi,
I was the person who added the development team information to the FarmVille page. Another editor told me that you removed it because it was unsourced.
(talk page watcher) @Mark Skaggs: WP:UNSOURCED. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:30, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
The information is "unsourced" but the person who wrote it David Gray is the source. He was on the team, kept records and still works at the company.
Do we need to have a journalist write a story and then reference that as a source?
Or can we somehow sign a doc verifying/swearing to the validity or truth to this information?
Also, if we referenced my wikipedia entry (Mark Skaggs) that I did not create to add validity to it?
Thanks for your help on this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mark Skaggs (talk • contribs) 16:56, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Mark Skaggs: I did not remove it. "All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking." RE works at the company, please see above. Wikipedia has little information in what a subject's employee says about a subject. Having a journalist write a story? No. That's not suitable. We? So you are connected with the subject. Please read and heed WP:PAID and WP:COI. Clearly you have a conflict of interest. I will post to your talk page as well. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:25, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
This is my first time trying to contribute information Wikipedia after donating and supporting for years. You'll have to give allowance for my in experience and not knowing all the expert arcane notations or how to do fancy editing techniques. Also because I don't know the inner workings and interactions between you and other editors. Nor do I really care to spend time on those. I was simply trying to understand why the good intentioned effort to add information to your platform was rejected.
I said "you removed it" because one of your other editors said that. It's confusing to see that neither of you say you removed the information even though the system points me to you two.
Your "We ?" comment makes it seem like you've discovered a crime! Apparently you didn't see my name on the list of information that was removed by "you" (wikipedia)? I wasn't trying to hide anything. I worked with the Author of the information many years ago. I was just sharing what the person shared on FB as a way to save the info from getting lost in time. Cite error: A <ref>
tag is missing the closing </ref>
(see the help page).. Your response makes like I was trying to cheat your platform or something. I said We" was because I used to be part of a team that worked together with the author and "we" + others know this information be true. And "we" thought this would be a useful contribution to your platform.
Maybe there's an approach where you can separate out good people with good intentions and work with them, and then keep the rest of your interaction style for the cheaters, liars and exploiters you must be dealing with? "We" are good people with good intensions.
Here's a collection of references from sources on my connection to FarmVille and work at Zynga. You say you won't an article written by journalist the original FarmVille team, do any of these publications or authors add enough credibility for you? I'm asking because I'm trying to work within your rules and it is hard to believe that no journalist can write an story/article to meet Wikipedia's standards.

- @Mark Skaggs: I have made no edits to FarmVille. I did answer a question you asked about why your edit was reverted. I replied to you on my talk page. I welcomed you, told you how to change your signature, explained what triggered the edit filter, asked you to read and heed COI and PAID, and asked you to verify that your user name be confirmed via VTRS to prevent impersonation. I'm sorry you have a problem with any of this. No idea why you dumped all those external links on my talk page. They are not germane to the issue at hand. Please read and heed WP:COI and WP:PAID. Please see this page. Because of your conflict of interest, it would be best if you suggest edits on the article page and not edit the article directly. I cannot determine intentions. I can only see your edits. I have assumed good faith by informing you in a civil manner of the situation involving your conflict of interest. Again, I'm sorry if this has upset you. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:41, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Archiving my talk page
Do you think I could archive all my old warnings and unblock requests? Or would that seem too much like trying to hide my... sketchy past? PLease advise, --sithjarjar (talk | contribs | email) 18:09, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- @SithJarJar666: Yes, archive. Fresh start. New beginning. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:12, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the advice, will do --sithjarjar (talk | contribs | email) 18:13, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- Done, except for the last two threads --sithjarjar (talk | contribs | email) 18:27, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
Sorry
Must not have done a thorough enough check on the name I wanted, sorry;) --sithjarjar (talk | contribs | email) 20:47, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- @SithJarJar666: Not your fault. The bot did not catch it and Central Auth doesn't either. I found out when I clicked the button to rename. Such is the lot of the global rename. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:33, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
Account creator rights?
I saw that you granted yourself account creator rights, and I wanted to know what was going on. InvalidOStalk 13:04, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
