Talk:IPS panel

Hi there. Just to let you know, apropos of this edit, that we don't usually remove or edit other people's text on Talk pages (unless archiving or otherwise allowed restructuring) as it tends to confuse other readers and runs the risk of annoying the author. I can see, believe me, how you would want to, but it's just not what we do! There's mention of it in places such as WP:EQ (section 2), WP:TPG (section 1.6.1) and no doubt others ... one could grow old looking through this stuff so I hope you will not mind my quick pointer, which is offered absolutely in the spirit of co-operation and in the hope of helping, not annoying! :) Thanks and best wishes 138.37.199.206 (talk) 13:35, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Quantum dot, because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Engineering and Technology History Wiki

The article Engineering and Technology History Wiki has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (websites) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant English-language coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.

February 2021

Hi BBCLCD! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Bahamian dollar that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. This includes Adding or removing references / citations. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you :) — MarkH₂₁^talk 01:27, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BBCLCD, you made an edit reverting my edit, that reverts an edit that reverts your edit. I believe that this is a mistake due to your original edit fixing obvious formatting errors. Regardless, I have left the page unchanged for you to decide whether to undo your new edit or not. Justiyaya (talk) 15:18, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My revert was not intended for your revert, but rather for the edit of User:99.147.14.39.--BBCLCD (talk) 17:11, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BBCLCD, I'm working through the backlog over at CAT:EDITREQ and just noticed that a bunch of requests were still "technically" open at Talk:Franco-Nevada. Am I correct in understanding I can "technically" close these requests? JBchrch talk 08:03, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please close these requests. The only request I didn't do was the inclusion of a CLO as a key person. The pratice is to include CEO and CFO, which I did.--BBCLCD (talk) 08:21, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Vidmar (company)

A tag has been placed on Category:Vidmar (company) indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself. Liz ^{Read!

Considerations for Cristiano Amon Page

Hi BBCLCD. My name is Clare Conley and I work for Qualcomm. I was working on a draft page about CEO Cristiano Amon to submit to Articles for Creation, when you beat me to it and created the page. I did my best to merge our two drafts into an expanded version here and I was hoping you might take a look at my proposed version. Since I am affiliated with the subject of the article, WP:COI requires that I propose the draft to an impartial editor like you for consideration, in order to make sure I am not adding promotion or bias content.

Let me know if you are willing to take a look at the draft or if there is any other way I can be of assistance. ConleyClare (talk) 18:30, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Will look at the proposed changes in a week. BBCLCD (talk) 07:41, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Have reviewed your draft:

Thank you for adding information to the article about Amon I created initially. I am not able to verify some of the references you gave, as I don't have access to some of them.

The part "Personal Life" mentions his hobbies. I would delete this part, as hobbies are normally not mentioned on WP. However, it would be interesting to know, whether Amon is married and has children.

It is preferrable to change/add to the existing text rather than replacing it entirely. In particular, maintain the categories already published.

I wonder whether all the "Notes" are needed.

Once your changes are published, I could make some minor improvements such as adding wikilinks. BBCLCD (talk) 14:35, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ConleyClare: In the meantime, I have updated my original version using some of the info you provided. However, I left out many parts of your draft, such as all the Notes, some of the career achievements and his hobbies. If you would like to add essential info, you can do this. I then will review your additions.--BBCLCD (talk) 09:10, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @BBCLCD:. I've revised the draft to trim Amon's hobbies, add his family, and remove the Notes section per your feedback. I agree regarding preserving the Categories, but didn't want to put the draft page itself into those categories by adding them to the draft page.

For any citations you cannot access, if you give me the citation numbers and an email you can be reached at, I can provide PDFs or other full-text copies. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to be of assistance and sorry for the belated reply. Best regards. ConleyClare (talk) 19:28, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BBCLCD. I wanted to check-in on your opinion on the expanded Cristiano Amon page draft here now that it addresses your feedback; and any paywalled citations you'd like me to produce. Let me know. Best regards. ConleyClare (talk) 20:14, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think that we cannot simply replace my text by yours, as it would run under the same title Cristiano Amon. It would be compulsory to include the View history section of my old entry. What you could do is add additional info or make changes to my present entry. I then would approve it. BBCLCD (talk) 11:35, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BBCLCD. Thanks for getting back to me and your work on the page thus far. If you like, I can make additions to the page, then ping you at Talk:Cristiano_Amon to review my additions. However, I believe best practice for an editor with a conflict of interest or affiliation is that I'm supposed to request an impartial editor like yourself make the edits without me making any changes directly. Let me know and thanks again. ConleyClare (talk) 19:12, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick (Talk) 21:36, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
