Greetings from Teahouse membership

Hi ! Welcome to the Teahouse. I hope we could work together sometimes. Pls. drop by at my homepage. I would love to learn new things here at WikiPedia. Thank You! (InAdvc.) Ceejhei13 (talk) 14:21, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

List of password managers

Hello Kuru,

We see that you are an editor of the wiki List_of_password_managers page. We believe our Qwertycard product ( please see https://www.qwertycards.com ) falls in this list category, however we fully respect the wikipedia policies on these things and so we will leave it with you to consider if it should be included.

Kind regards, Alex Qwertycards.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.250.65.48 (talk) 12:41, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

User: UxUmbrella behavior on Rihanna videography

Hi Kuru. I have a big concern about the behaviors of this user on Rihanna's articles in all, more specifically on Rihanna videography. He adds a picture which is about to be deleted, with so non-sense caption and he is also sourcing it which he doesn't need to do. Additionally, he is removing a sourced material and adding unreliable sources linking them directly to the names of the directors. As an admin I would like to take care of him. Cheers! — Tomíca^(T2ME) 19:48, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Done. Please be careful in the future; content disputes, even with disruptive editors, do not allow you to break the 3RR yourself. I concur that the image is a copyright violation, and its repeated removal was exempt - just be sure to clearly state that in your revert summaries. Kuru (talk) 20:03, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

I will. Thank you on the well-meaning advice. All the best. — Tomíca^(T2ME) 20:04, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

You won't believe, but he is back. He is now UxUmbrellaEditor (talk · contribs) and continues with his stubbornness. -_- — Tomíca^(T2ME) 15:58, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

That is pretty astounding. I blocked him earlier today; feel free to simply revert his questions in the future when he's evading his blocks, you don't need to respond to him. Kuru (talk) 01:04, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Questionable editors

Hey Kuru,

Sorry to bother you, but I need an administrator's help. I was wondering if you could look into a few editors. On Weekend Today (Australian TV program), a few editors, who only edit this article, keep adding names to the article who are not notable per WP:LISTPEOPLE. Those users are User:Tomatoseds, User:Happyies, User:Howards storage world, User:Jillop, and User:Usernamesed. Like I said, they are all making the same edits and only to this article. I've created a discussion on the talk page, but they don't pay attention to that. If there is something else I need to do, please let me know. If I need to explain more, I'll be glad to do that. Thanks, Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 03:57, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Apologies; I'm only on briefly in the mornings; will check this afternoon. Kuru (talk) 13:07, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

No problem, thanks! Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 14:57, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

And these users as well (I'm 95% sure they're the same person)... User:Giraffesde, User:Factoriesed & User:Pigglots Thanks, Corkythehornetfan | Talk 00:31, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Were you able to find out if they are the same person or anything about the users? Corkythehornetfan | Talk 13:39, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Nevermind, I've asked another administator. Corkythehornetfan | Chat? 19:05, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Help on Big data--is User:Jugdev being disruptive?

Hi! Apologies for bothering you. Since you intervened once before on Big data, I was hoping for your advice.

Right now, I feel I feel that while User:Jugdev is most likely acting in good faith, he is engaged in disruptive editing. I think we're locked in a pattern: If I revert the page during the US day (and explain why), he'll revert it again in the middle of the US night (and post a message saying "I already explained that my change is in keeping with WP style and it comes from a highly respected source"). (example, example, example)

I'm not sure if this formally crosses over to disruptive editing, though. He tends to avoid WP:3RR, I think because he's on a different time zone from the other editors involved. And he's finally stopped removing the "tone" tag from the Big data page. But Talk:Big_data#RfC:_Is_the_opening_paragraph_a_good_summary_of_the_topic.3F on the talk page, all he does is keep insisting over and over that his edits "are in keeping with WP tone" (nobody else seems to think so) and "are factual" and "come from a respected publication on the topic of Big Data" (which is never named or linked to). I do feel like talking to him is not going to help, but I'm not sure what the play is. Should I just try to round up other editors to keep taking turns reverting him? Or have we crossed to the point where I can request administrator intervention?

Huge thanks for your help! And apologies once again for bothering you about this. Narsil (talk) 19:29, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

I think he's clearly edit warring again, but I've left one last warning on his talk page. The discussion seems to be solidly against his version. Apologies for the slow response; my availability is limited during the day. Kuru (talk) 01:32, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

RE:hcltech

Vedanga - you seem to be dedicated to adding small paragraphs sourced to trivial "whitepapers" which are basically brief corporate puffery for the same firm. Do you have a conflict of interest here, or do you really feel these are reliable sources? Kuru (talk) 12:12, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Kuru - As part of my research I referred the pdf files from only one source in order to ensure continuity. I completely understand your concerns and rest assured that I am not associated with the said firm. As and when I come across content that I deem fit to be uploaded on wiki as part of the reference section I will do so without any other intention in mind. I personally feel that resources that I have uploaded as part of reference section are reliable, however if you feel otherwise please let me know.

Hi Kuru,

I am really disappointed with my try to contribute some related articles to the topic "corporate fixed deposit". In my view the article that I added LINK REDACTED is related to the said topic, so I wanna know how can u define it as spam?

Waiting for your reply..

Ileana; If you add any more links promoting bank bazaar, you will be blocked and the site blacklisted. This is obviously a promotional puff-piece and is in no way an acceptable WP:RS for that article. Note that this also goes for using alternate accounts and/or paid editors linking to your blog material or slide shows. Kuru (talk) 12:34, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Am sorry

Hi Kuku,

I apologize for spamming Wikipedia with the Bizagi keyword and I know its not the right way to do things. Having said that, there are a few companies like IBM that have keyword spamming too.

Could I request you consent to add the less spamming links back to Bizagi page please?

Business topics

Your name just popped up on my watchlist on the Sageworks page and I saw that you had an interest in business topics and have a business background - that's a rare find in these parts.

I was wondering if you had any interest in chipping in every once in a while on business topics where I actually do have a COI. See here for example. I've been trying to get that page up to GA for months now, but it's been very slow going without bold editing, since WP:COI requires I use the Talk page and even after my suggested changes are made, they are often reverted by an SPA. CorporateM (Talk) 22:38, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

I understand the difficulty and from what I've seen you've done a good job of managing your COI; as well as can be expected with the rather nebulous set of community expectations related to paid editing/advocacy. That being said, I'm not comfortable assisting on demand - too much gray. If I see issues pop up at ANEW or AN, I'll look into it. Kuru (talk)

No problem. I actually just now remembered that you were the one from the edit-warring board. I've been brought to ANI a few times in similar circumstances, so you may see me there again from time to time ;-) CorporateM (Talk) 00:09, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Edit Waring

Neither Harari234 or Zekenyan have learned anything from their pervious blocks. They both continue to edit war, break consensus, etc. AcidSnow (talk) 01:50, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

I have provided reliable sources and you have not. You and another user have removed my sources. Zekenyan (talk) 01:53, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

You didn't proved any "reliable source" for your claim. In fact, this was pointed out to you by two other users. Though, you don't seem to care. I haven't provided sources? You honestly must be joking since the article is filled with them. But once again you don't seem to care even the slightest. This isn't surprising though, since as I pointed out earlier: "I have plenty, though what's good will it do? You don't even bother to read the article so why read something that complete crushes your claims"? AcidSnow (talk) 02:01, 15 March 2015‎ (UTC)

In other words you are trying to say you will not have a discussion with me. If you will not participate in the talk page during a content dispute then dont bother editing articles. Zekenyan (talk) 02:09, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

What?!? I was the one who first told you to go to the talk page, I was the one who started the conversation, I was the last person to reply, etc. What more false claims would you like to make? More importantly, you shouldn't be editing any of these articles as you have deliberately chosen to break consensus. AcidSnow (talk) 02:17, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Which article did you last revert me on? I am talking about this article Talk:Harar. Either you participate and provide a source or I will take this matter to an admin. Nowhere on your edit summary did you talk about consensus. I repeat this is your own words "what good will it do". You are not going to discuss you have made that clear. Zekenyan (talk) 02:23, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

That wasn't the last article I reverted you on. In fact, the last article was on the Harari people; which I too was the creator of the discussion and the last to reply. Even then, I too was once again the creator of the discussion and the last to reply on the Harar page. I didn't talk about consensus? Dude the whole point of going to the talk page is to get consensus; which you have consistently failed to receive. Isn't it ironic that you accuse me of not discussing even though I have been involved since day one? You, on the other hand, haven't in more than four days! But nonetheless, you still had time to continue to break consensus. Anyways, if I read it correctly you want more admins involved? By all means be my guest as it won't do you any good. AcidSnow (talk) 02:48, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

It is a reversion of my addition on article Harar Look through the edit summary I had cited my work before a user by the name of Maddayexpresso removed it. I believe sanctions will be needed if you do not come to the table. If you have trouble with the english language. A translator should be arranged if possible. Zekenyan (talk) 02:59, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Haha, did you just imply that I poses poor English skills? Dude you're the one who made a sentence fragment when you wrote that: "If you have trouble with the english language". Anyways, that claim made by that author you provided has already been proven fringe. More importantly, you have no power to impose sanction against me, but my all means try to. AcidSnow (talk) 03:32, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Apologies; I had logged out for the night. Will look at this in a minute. Kuru (talk) 13:32, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Continued Edit Warring on Sageworks page

I don't see anything requiring an immediate revert (BLP, copyright, etc), nor do I see anything needing immediate page protection. Thank you for taking the right approach and adding a tag to the article instead of reverting. I've commented on the talk page. Kuru (talk) 01:02, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

I will concede the point. The page you show; however, directly contradicts this page which was posted at the end of the 07/08 season (http://www.nba.com/history/records/alltime_team_wl.html), which clearly displays the Spurs record containing ABA games as the team has not yet reached either the win or loss mark shown in NBA games alone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevster999 (talk • contribs) 17:08, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Nationalist editors

Since you briefly banned me for edit-warring on Cyprus-related articles, I am wondering how you suggest dealing with users with obvious nationalist agendas in such cases. I don't want history to repeat itself, but I seriously doubt there's any point in having dialogue when their initial approach is hurling rather ridiculous accusations hither and tither. It's your call - I stick to my words and will not edit war this time. Best, --Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 16:20, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

The nationalists editors that this gentleman (Mikrobølgeovn) is saying, is himself and with a fanatical anti-Cypriot propaganda, plus a wannabe dictator of how and what Wikipedia should include, according to his own agenda, and he is trying by accusing people of such, to find a way to get out of Wikipedia anyone, stating any actual data, that do not serve his agenda.

In just 4 days! this gentleman has all these edits for Cyprus, and all of them was to erase Cypriot victories. No evidence, no sources, no nothing of doing so as well, while the ones that he was deleting was all with evidence. You can check them all, one by one.

Pretty nationalistic and with an agenda to me he looks, someone that accuses others as such, don't you think? This as it seems is his past as well, since 10 days before he was doing exactly the same, (deleting Cypriot victories that is) as evidence shows.

He thinks perhaps that he has the right to dictate what anyone is saying and if he disagrees with them and they do not match with his agenda, regardless of what evidence suggests at any given case, to find a way to get them out of Wikipedia.

He is the one with the agenda, and not the ones that he is accusing for. The ones that he is accusing, are stating facts about their country with evidence and facts, that they have the right and interest to do so (Is their country) and they are doing so, with out trying to kick out people from Wikipedia when they disagree with them, in contrast with this gentleman.

Here are some of his edits, that I was talking about.

You could have stayed on my page and discuss this, with evidence, and I have said to you politely that if you want you can prove me wrong with evidence, and in the articles, yet what you did, (when you failed to convince me not to be editing Wikipedia, with out your consent basically and to follow your distorted version of the truth) was to come here and start talking about nationalists editors to an admin.

This among others, also shows that not only you are with an agenda, but you are with an agenda, that is also trying to get out of Wikipedia anyone, that does not match with it. I have understood this, from the start when you came to my page, and you were trying to convince me with your way, not to be editing for Cyprus, with out basically your consent and now you made it worst by showing that anyone that is not following your distorted version of the truth, is to be accused in an admin.

Thank you very much Kuru. I agree that most likely it is GiorgosY's sock.

Promotional editing

Just read your profile message "I am a business professional who has been contributing to the project since January of 2006 and I've been an administrator here since 2007. I've always been disappointed with the astounding amount of vandalism and promotional editing that has plagued the project, and much of my efforts here have been to clean that up. Otherwise, my contributions have been to shore up and maintain business and economic topics."

Practically everybody who tries to add something to articles that you manage is committing vandalism, it seems. But if you are committed to keeping your house clean may be you should check how much of the listed content in the last article you edited is actually up to date with some projects close to extinct and not being maintained for years.

If that is true, I will take the time instead of moving on, to remove all the entries that share similar characteristics, that would be correct using your arguments: puffery, promotional etc. Correct? Criteria should be same for everybody and honestly from what I read you do not seem to barely identify with the topic but just apply general guidelines. A side question: if this is an encyclopedia, why do you have directory listings inside it? Encyclopedia give facts, this directory falls completely off the chart then. Please comment, will be glad to read something more inline with the real problem here.Timetrackr (talk) 04:36, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Have you read this yet: Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)? We have articles on dinosaur companies because apparently there have been a sufficient amount of reliable/independent sources that talk about those companies. Notability is not temporary.

Where did you see a directory? Can you please link to that article? — Jeraphine Gryphon ^(talk) 08:25, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

No, I have not read these instructions but even after doing this I still do not agree with your action. Have you checked for reliable sources when you removed our entry? Because it looked very speedy to me. Here is the directory I am talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_time-tracking_software . Could someone of you check the first 5 entries and tell me if at least 2-3 of them are not deviating from the rules. IMHO few links to landing pages at some media is not suggesting Notability. Please apply the rules and clean this out. A helpful article will be an actual evaluation of these software solutions.130.204.131.157 (talk) 17:57, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

The guy with all the spam on architecture pages

You get some interesting stuff on your talk. Anyway, I've reverted all the links the guy added (every single edit since 12-14-14). Sorry for no link to his page but his name was odd and long and I cannot figure out how to copypasta on this silly phone. You may want to take a look at the articles he created. I don't feel competent to evaluate a bio on an artist, but they both seem pretty promo to me. Thanks for your help on the reverts. John from Idegon (talk) 06:00, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Link at forecasting is not a spam!

I am not the same opinion as you.

Which basis are you using to qualify the external link we placed in that article as spam. It reported to a simple site giving a summary description of a new forecasting procedure, being used for more than 20 years by a restrited circle of investors. We still wanted to made some extensions on the article, but for the short we just added the information on a website of the research team.

Don't you think you should try to get some more details before qualifying it as spam? Our understanding of spam is quite diferent and we also fight against it - an that ever single day.

Rangeblock

Kuru, apparently Joseph Prasad's account is still blocked even though the timing for the block has passed. A couple of weeks ago, there was a SPI filed regarding him and an IP that, based on evidence, seemed to be him. The admin clerk applied a rangeblock in conjunction with that SPI. There is another SPI on his account t still open at this time. Wondering if there is a connection. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 22:58, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

It was just an autoblock; they can be triggered when he tries to use his account before the block expires. Does not appear to be connected with the range block I set. Kuru (talk) 23:14, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

I found you as a random person interested in vandalism fighting.

There is someone, Davie2010, who was on the losing side of an afd so he thought of a frivolous excuse to delete my comments and vote (saying I put it in the wrong place). This is criminal. If this is allowed, let me know and I will copy the tactic. I thought people were blocked for this crap. I think it is a sneaky attempt at getting people mad so they will vandalize. Therefore, he should be stopped by blocking him while we sort out his damage. Deepavali 2014 (talk) 04:00, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

The easiest solution would have been for either you or Davie to have moved the comment to the correct position (in chronological order). I think you're confusing "criminal" with "annoying, but easily correctable". If you feel the close was incorrect, you can utilize deletion review, but I doubt your comment would have made a significant difference to the close. Kuru (talk) 10:02, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

I am shocked but correct me if I am wrong. It seems that it is ok to remove someone's comments if you can come up with an excuse, like it's not a vote, placed on top, or (your reason) it wouldn't have mattered. I don't agree but can comply and copy this behavior. I would have preferred if you said Davie's behavior was wrong, but you have not.

If this behavior is wrong but not a blockable offense if done only once in a while, then ok.

Deepavali 2014 (talk) 02:42, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

@Deepavali 2014: No one will be giving you permission to remove another person's comment because it happened to you on another discussion and therefore you're copying it. If someone breaks or bends a rule (in your opinion) and the "worst" thing that happens is you talk about it back and forth on a talk page, then it doesn't give you permission to do the same without consequence. Immediately following this incident you violated several policies including WP:NACD on multiple grounds such as performing a close that you do not have the technical abilities to do; you had a vested interested; and failed to follow WP:CONSENSUS in determining the result of the close. No one blocked you for it nor does it give permission to another editor to do exactly the same thing. Consider that lenience was shown on both sides of the discussion and I do not think there is a strong argument of injustice at what happened at the AFD. Mkdw^talk 03:03, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

• So I've just realized the user has gone to everyone moaning but has failed to even come to my talkpage ..... Brilliant!, I removed his !vote because it wasn't in the correct order but I stated here and I quote "All that aside my main reason for the removal was because you added it above mine and another editors comment - Feel free to add your !vote but under everyone elses" so I'm at a loss as why the user seems to have some sort issue with me or more to the point want me blocked?,

It does not seem like you read the material I pointed you to: "All entries that point to non-existent articles or external links will be deleted." The primary issue is that you are creating an entry that does not have an independent wikipedia article created for it. This will require you create that article, and to demonstrate that the product is notable by our standards, usually significant coverage in third party sources. Kuru (talk) 16:00, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Invitation to subscribe to the edit filter mailing list

Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

Hi Kuru - I appreciate your effort in maintaining the community.

I have been editing pages with useful and up to the minute news on many various topics... Many of the pages I have edited state that they are looking for people to edit and add sources and correct grammar, and that is what I have done. Every edit I made was done in proper format with good and valid sources. If you're going to come behind and erase my work, I don't see the point in continuing to try and contribute to the community. Please let me know if this is going to continue so I no longer waste my time and effort contributing. Thanks for your help T f 123321 (talk) 01:06, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

I am still new at wikipedia so I am posting this here in case you didn't see my reply. I am actually not being paid to do this. I am trying to help DiCentral with their page on my own time. I was trying to put up the page and used the same sort of references that similar companies used. When it was turned down and each cite was shot down, I decided to correct the others. I've already told DiCentral they don't qualify and the DiCentral page won't be updated anymore. However, the double standard is disturbing. Someone told me if they held old pages to standards now there wouldn't be any. I put up OpenText up for deletion because the cites are horrible and the page is poorly written. I put up SPS because of bad cites. They have now updated and their page looks good.

The standards for new pages should apply to old pages as well. I can tell OpenText is one you care about because you've argued for it before. If you look through the talk page, I'm not the first to suggest deletion. Also both companies put advertising on the EDI wikipedia page which I deleted. I'm deleting your comments because they were wrong. I'm not correcting all pages just ones that I know something about. --Cmurphey80 (talk) 23:20, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry you've run in to trouble creating an article for your firm. I have not reviewed the material there and cannot offer you advice on the quality of your sources or whether it meets WP:CORP. I am concerned that you've picked up the edits from the Danielford832 account which is clearly corporate, and are using phrasing indicating a direct relationship with the firm ("EDI for my business", "If they are accepted and we are not"). If that was your previous account or if you are employed by the firm in any way, you need to follow WP:TOU and declare your paid COI. I don't care if you're "doing it on your own time" - that's a bit of a dodge, since you are clearly coordinating with them.

I am deeply concerned that you've now switched to editing the pages of competitors. This kind of thing can turn into a serious PR and ethical issue. I would strongly advise you to make sure your contact there is aware you've changed tactics, or, if you're working in marketing there, that you contact a supervisor or someone competent there and make sure they're on board with this kind of maneuver.

As for having the OpenText article on my watchlist, you can read through the history to see my previous recent edits - removing large quantities of spam from the material after removing links they spread to other articles. I will usually prod articles which are irredeemable, but that one is not. The firm seems to clearly meet WP:CORP. Kuru (talk) 00:41, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

It's not my firm. Yes, I was helping DanielFord832 but not getting paid for it or working for him. That's why I was referring to him and our not because it is mine. I tried and failed. They are going to have to work to get PR for notability to get an article accepted. They simply are not big enough right now. I've nominated more than just those kind of companies for deletion so I'm not sure how it would be a PR nightmare. SPS cleaned themselves up and I'm pretty happy with that page. OpenText isn't even trying. My problem is that I do feel like everyone should be held to the same standard. When I brought that up in help to get the article I was helping with accepted, I was blown off. I won't help create any pages till I clearly understand the atmosphere here. I feel like I have much to add but I'll be watching more than editing for awhile. I've added alot of good information to Bermuda, Insurance, Beading, and cleared tons of advertisers off the EDI page,etc in just a short 30 days. I wish I could have helped my friend but there are certain guidelines and his company didn't meet them.--Cmurphey80 (talk) 02:37, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Since you are an administrator....you should be able to take action. People, not me, basically wrote my Wikipedia in 2011. It was very accurate. One of the few. As I was in about 6-10 of them I could personally vouch for inaccuracies. I was honored to be in Wikipedia and it was a time saver as when journalists wanted background I could refer them there. It accurately stated I specialized in suing fanatical movements and self help groups; the issue was brainwashing. Then came was one of those self promoting claims and I wrote this was defamatory of me. I thought it was later resolved as that blurbed was removed.

But over time my specialty keep changing to now being absurd--"institutional abuse." Publicly and in the media it is I specialized in going after fanatical cults. I preferred term totalistic movements. People have corrected this with sources many times. Wikipedia has it accurate in Center For Feeling Therapy Entry. the Molko entry has my role in the case but it gets removed even though this had the greatest impact on society of anything I ever did. Despite sources it keeps being removed my role in getting town of Parlier and Los Angeles Police Department out of Werner Erhard's grasp. Interesting if you Google est and brainwashing my story on what happened is No.1 so apparently society recognizes the importance even if you don't.

That's the point. My history is accurately reported everywhere. While I was once very proud to be included in Wikipedia I no longer refer people to it. It's grossly incomplete and inaccurate. This problem has been reported to me by others who have fought cults. Saying I specialize in institution abuse is disparaging and simply not the truth. Why would someone do that unless an agenda. Why is fact City of Santa Monica gave me a commendation deleted.

It is better it not appear so researchers will read other things and not be mislead. Where I was formerly proud to have an entry it is now an embarrassment. My website has 2 million viewers. If I am not important enough to Wikipedia that someone doesn't read sources given to see accuracies or the terminology over what I did--sued cults for brainwashing--is off limits than just remove it. After I am gone there is plenty that is accurate to read for anyone who cares. You can discuss this if you want. 310 4594745 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulmorantz (talk • contribs) 06:23, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

That's an obscure category and hardly a WP:DEFINING characteristic for the subject of the article. For BLP issues like this, there would need to be a better specification in the category title to indicate that this is former classification, and then the category would just be more obscure. This seems to be moot as the category was created by a long term troll (unbeknownst to either of us), but I'd be against any re-creation. Kuru (talk) 23:45, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

No. You will need to provide reliable third-party sources for your edits. You'll also need to assert the notability of the organization and remove the puffery. I would also advise reading WP:COI. Kuru (talk) 18:01, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Wishing you all the best . . .

Merry Christmas, Kuru, and may your holidays be merry and bright . . . . Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:57, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Sort of silly.

Hi Kuru, this [2] is sort of silly, right :-)? How can he (she?) have so many quite diverging IPs at hand so quickly, looks like a SP)? I could have asked for PageProtection via Twinkle, it didn't occur to me earlier. Anyway, let's hope calm and peace returns. And Merry Christmas to you. Poepkop (talk) 19:05, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

There are many IP masking services; some are really bad at it, and some are good. In that case, it's just two mouse-clicks to revert and block. Really not a hassle. The page protection is regrettable, since it probably inconveniences others. I suppose that's the part that excites him; I'll never understand the mentality involved.

FarnDeer

You did a fine job reversing FarnDeer's postings. Those postings amounted promotions or advertisements for someone. Iss246 (talk) 22:45, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, those "Further reading" sections are almost always a mess on business articles. Adding the same recent publication to 40-50 barely related topics with several accounts does seem to be clearly over the line. Kuru (talk) 01:07, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I had a similar experience with business and related entries in which someone loaded 30 different WP entries with the works of someone named Mittal. Iss246 (talk) 01:13, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Bushrod Washington

Thank you for your comments on my edits to Bushrod Washington. Before reading your comments, I had not recognized that the citational source for the Project Gutenberg Self-Publishing Press article on Bushrod Washington is actually the Wikipedia article on that subject. As you stated, the Gutenberg article's original source is quite obscure. I have therefore removed the information in the Wikipedia article that the Gutenberg article contains except where I was able to find one or more sources that I consider to be reliable.

Absolutely not a problem, I'm happy to help. I'm starting to think that there's some deliberate obfuscation going on with that publisher. While digging into this instance, I stumbled across yet another URL they use to link back to their mirror, and it appears that there's another score or so articles that are using it as a reference. :( Kuru (talk) 01:19, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Happy New Year Kuru!
