Alpha Bay

Hi, You undid a news text edit from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaBay that referred http://alphabaymarket.com/ as the source. Your reason for the deletion was " More reliable source needed". In your objective view Reference number 4 on that Wikipedia page (http://www.alphabaymarket.net/alphabay-market-review/) is reliable source? If yes then exactly how those two sources are different in their "reliability"?.

Help with "Group selfie" section for the Selfie article?

Hi Deku-shrub, I see from Talk:Selfie that you were looking into the possibility of putting together a section for the article about group selfies. I recently prepared such a section, at the behest of Huawei, who have coined the term "groufie" to refer to such images. Because of my conflict of interest, I won't add the section myself. Instead, I posted it at Talk:Selfie for other editors to review. Do you think you might have time to take a look at it and, if things look okay to you, take the section live? I'm also certainly open to any questions or comments you have! Cheers, ChrisPond (Talk · COI) 15:26, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Giorgio A. Tsoukalos - Aliens.png

Thanks for uploading File:Giorgio A. Tsoukalos - Aliens.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:01, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Latest stage of submission to the Speaker's Commission on Digital Democracy

Hello there. I thought I would drop you a note as you kindly took part in the first stage of the efforts to crowdsource a submission to the Speaker's Commission on Digital Democracy. The second stage is now live and can be seen here. It would be great if you could help with putting together the submission on the second theme, which relates to representation. Also, if you have any suggestions on how we can widen participation, that would be very helpful. Thanks again for all of your help. Stevie Benton (WMUK) (talk) 11:23, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects

Hi,

I noticed you created Silkkitie and Abraxas (market) redirects to Darknet market. They should only really redirect there if that article mentions them (like Silk Road 2.0 is mentioned at Silk Road (marketplace)). Are you planning to cover them there? They were also in Category:Darknet markets, but redirects only typically take maintenance categories (WP:RCAT). — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:21, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am still midway through writing the notable history of Darknet markets where they be mentioned, as will other markets of note as a stumble across them in my research. When I'm done there should be no remaining pages looking like that Deku-shrub (talk) 21:31, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Shadow (software)

Hello Deku-shrub,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Shadow (software) for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Trivialist (talk) 19:55, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reply

Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because

it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Although you provided some references, I'm not convinced how reliable they are, but in any case you give no text to show how it meets notability as defined in the link.
it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Your article consisted entirely of what the software claims to do. Without any history, evidence of notability or other facts, it's just a sales pitch
Not a reason for deletion, but just one external link to the company (and "link" should be lc in the heading)

I'll restore the text here shortly Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:59, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Black market

Hey, I'm asking this from you since you've made impressive edits to the Darknet market article. Can you have a look at these edits made recently to the Black market article?

Clearweb

A tag has been placed on Clearweb, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo, or other unlikely search term.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

A tag has been placed on Ahmia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

October 2015

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Category:Politics and technology into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:21, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Categorization

Hi! Thanks for your improvements in the categorization of transhumanists. Good work. I was wondering, would it be better to categorize people in only Category:American transhumanists, and remove Category:Transhumanists? (same for other nationalities)?

I think the unstructured list has a place, but that would be List of transhumanists. However I would want to maintain that list with a bot first before removing the root category. So yes in principle, but not just yet. Deku-shrub (talk) 22:05, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:The Dark Net

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:The Dark Net, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

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. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Replaceable fair use File:Ransomeware history.png

Thanks for uploading File:Ransomeware history.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 16:33, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Agora phishing login.png

Thank you for uploading File:Agora phishing login.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 16:35, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Darknet market, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page GDS. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:55, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 June 14#File:Screenshot of AOHell.jpg

I noticed that you undid my edit on Carding (fraud) because you disagreed with or did not understand the decision at FFD, linked in the title. When I closed the discussion, I did see and read your objection. I had the option to participate in the discussion or close the discussion, but am not allowed to do both. Because of the large backlog, small number of administrators working on FFD, and clear-cut policy decision, I chose to close the discussion.

Since I noticed your edit, I have stopped other work on wikipedia until I could address your concerns, and I will try to do so here. Wikipedia's goal is to be a free content encyclopedia, and over the years that goal has built up a lot of policies and procedures around Non-free content (what's allowed, where it is allowed, et cetera). The official policy portion is documented at Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria and point #8 is the specific point of policy that User:Stefan2 mentioned when nominating this non-free screenshot for removal from the article, "8. Contextual significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." He used shorthand in his nomination, and someone likely should have clarified for you when you left your comment.

In terms of Carding (fraud)#1980s–1999, I believe Stefan2 feels and most of the people who patrol non-free image use would likely agree that for most users reading that section of the article that seeing a screenshot from AOHell does not make them understand the topic any better than if the screenshot is not included in that section. If they were curious about AOHell, it is wiki-linked and the screenshot is available in the article about the software. If you feel that this screenshot somehow adds to their understanding, I would be interested to hear how.

Currently, the image is also in violation of WP:NFCCP#10c as well. As part of my work when closing the discussion, I removed the rationale you added for this article from the image description.

I hope that I have explained well enough for you to understand and re-remove the image from the article yourself. If not, I welcome questions and discussion. ★ Bigr Tex 22:33, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve BioViva

Hi, I'm Cotton2. Deku-shrub, thanks for creating BioViva!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Bioviva....reversed HER cells... Close to advertising, peacock and violating NPOV. Please rewrite in wp:NPOV style.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Cotton2 (talk) 20:12, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As I stated, medical claims require better sources. Cotton2 (talk) 00:22, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

References

Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Cotton2 (talk) 00:22, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of BioViva

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on BioViva requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://bioviva-science.com/2016/04/21/first-gene-therapy-successful-against-human-aging/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Posthumanism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page James Hughes.

Your contributed article, AlphaBay Market

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, AlphaBay Market. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – AlphaBay. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at AlphaBay – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. IdreamofJeanie (talk) 17:56, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Phishing

The RFPP request got archived before I got a chance to reply so I thought best to reply here. Full protection should only be used sparingly on articles and certainly not indefinitely since then nobody can edit the page. Once that expires on Monday I'll switch it back to indefinite pending changes. Hopefully as they were unsuccessful in getting the link to stick they'll give up. If it continues, one alternative would be to move the infobox to a template and permanently protect that. It's a bit of a bodge, but the situation with onion links is fairly unique and this would make it much easier to spot any attempts to change the link as it would mean adding the full infobox back.

Are you related to Symantec?

Hello Deku-Shrub,

By reading the article on wikipedia on Zero-day exploits I noticed that a paragraph sounded like advertising for Symantec. After watching the changelog of the article i noticed that you were the one that added it. After further research, I found you did the same on other articles like Ransomware.

If you are indeed related to Symantec, please consider staying neutral and not adding references to this company in articles. Neutro (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:51, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe I added that, could you link the diff? The discussion on Ransomeware was because I wanted to add an image. Deku-shrub (talk) 14:59, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your answer. There you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zero-day_(computing)&oldid=662810780 An image is good, just saying that imho it would be more neutral to say "antivirus companies" instead of precising Symantec in the articles, where you can still put a reference to Symantec website to justify it :) Neutro (talk)

The contents of the edit is actually coming from a manual merge of Zero-day attack. The merge should have been better commented and managed. Regarding the image, I wanted a timeline, it's the best one that exists. Deku-shrub (talk) 16:34, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of CoinTelegraph

The article CoinTelegraph has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Your submission at Articles for creation: Dark Reading (August 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Curb Safe Charmer was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of websites, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Dark Reading and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Frumpy (term)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Frumpy (term) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Deku-shrub, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Global Drug Policy Observatory have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 08:01, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Moved your new content to Global catastrophic risk

Hi, I moved the table you inserted in Existential risk from artificial general intelligence over to Global catastrophic risk, since the source specifically states "global catastrophic risks"; personally I think it needs a rewrite into prose though if it remains, it's not very comprehensible to our readers as a standalone table and could use stronger sources.

List of Common Misconceptions

I appreciate your addition of references. I'm honestly at a loss for what Bryn is looking for, evidence-wise. There is another example above, and one I think that was archived where he has taken the same tack. No source meets the criteria, nothing can show it is a common misconception, it is never enough. I asked him specifically what he is looking for, but I don't think I'm going to get a good answer (maybe I'm being a bit cynical). Thoughts? Squatch347 (talk) 17:09, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I replied, it'll be interesting to see how this pans out :) Deku-shrub (talk) 19:43, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Seems he has dropped it. Thoughts on moving forward? I think we are good enough to add back at this point. Squatch347 (talk) 20:48, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The argument needs to be built up consistently and fully from the referenced individual articles and pass any challenges there. If that succeeds, the results can shore-up the case for adding to the misconceptions list. Deku-shrub (talk) 21:18, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of London Futurists

The article London Futurists has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of notability. Negligible RS coverage; WP:BEFORE shows passing mentions and some pundit quotes from the founder in RSes - nothing actually about London Futurists. Lots of non-RS sources though. If there's RS coverage of he topic, I didn't find it.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Twitter Locked or Suspended.webp

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy.

If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. 122.2.10.69 (talk) 02:35, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Happy holidays!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Deku-shrub!

The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 18:46, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of websites blocked in Turkey moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, List of websites blocked in Turkey, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Proposed deletion of BadBIOS

The article BadBIOS has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

BadBIOS has zero substantial, if any, evidence for its existence outside of pre-existing yet much more well-documented viruses of similar nature. After the discoverer of the virus dumped data across all the machines that had been supposedly infected with it, there have been zero findings of any malicious programming within any of it. The entire basis for this malware's existence is dependent on the story that was told by its supposed finder. This already makes it hoax-worthy. The virus is claimed to be capable of infecting multiple different BIOS variants (i.e., EFI, UEFI) injected through different operating systems (Mac, Windows & Linux) all in one. This is already an impressive feat for a virus to pull off. A virus doing this through auditory infection methods has never once been documented. Viruses that do spread through isolated machines are called 'Air-gap malware.' There is an article on them as well. However, most of these pieces of malware utilize external hardware such as USB sticks. Auditory ones do exist [and even thermal ones!], but none to the scale 'BadBIOS' is claiming to achieve. Unless intentionally disabling certain firmware protections on all devices (i.e., only signed firmware be loaded onto the system), it could go from an incredibly difficult virus to program with an inconsistent form of infection to impossible.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
