Reputation Changer

[edit]

You are correct that Reputation Changer uses press releases inappropriately and for that reason I would not advise modeling other articles after it. It was created directly in mainspace, so it was not reviewed by anyone from WP:AfC. If it had been submitted, I would not have accepted it in its current state. It may have instead been reviewed by a new page patroller in which case, I'm disappointed that that patroller didn't at least tag the sources as insufficient and remove the poorly sourced claim that none of their competitors let clients "monitor and control" the content they submit (I suspect that is patently false, in which case it is also libelous). I will do that right now, and am seriously considering nominating it for deletion. The other 2 sources cited, Daily Local News and topseos.com, while not press releases, are not particularly impressive. The annoying phrase "has been featured in" is often written by people who seem to use a different definition of "featured" than I do. If I can track down those features and find something usable about the company in them, I might try to fix the article, but if "featured" means a 2000 word piece on a dogfood recall that includes a quote attributed to someone from Reputation Changer, then it's off to WP:AfD.

Thank you for taking notice of our problems and issues getting this article approved. What if I simply create the article through mainspace than it would be accepted?

You could do that. IP editors have to go through AfC since the software prevents them from creating a mainspace title (see Seigenthaler incident for background). You, as a registered user, also have the option of clicking Photon Infotech and saving the page. There is no formal accept/decline procedure; it will be visible immediately, although any editor may nominate it for deletion at any time if they think it violates the deletion policy (they can actually do the same even if it did pass an AfC review, but unless the reviewer missed something such a nomination would likely be unsuccessful). Kilopi (talk) 01:18, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Correction. Actually you can't. You can create pages, but you can't create Photon Infotech. Apparently, the admins got tired of deleting it and salted it in 2008 so it can't be created by anyone unless an admin remove the protection, which they probably won't do unless you can show them a good draft. Sorry. Kilopi (talk) 01:25, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
see below--we might as well go directly to AfD,using the correct title. As an admin, I can do the necessary moves & I have done so. DGG ( talk ) 07:31, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello, I'm Ke4roh. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Woodforest National Bank because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Kindly don't break links and remove properly cited material from articles. Facts are facts, and if there has been a successful appeal or other information, if you have more glowing information you would like to add about Woodforest National Bank, please do. ke4roh (talk) 01:52, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked for sockpuppetry

[edit]

I was asked as an admin what to do about this , and I think the simplest course is a community discussion; the consensus will decide. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Photon Infotech DGG ( talk ) 07:29, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm 78.26. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RIM Charts that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Unsubstantiated claims of sockpuppetry and paid editing are personal attacks. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 16:54, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Information icon Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Aurora James. Please review WP:RSP - WP:DAILYMAIL and WP:NYPOST are both considered unreliable. Please also review WP:BLP for guidelines about articles. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 03:05, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Aurora James, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not continue to add unreliable sources and BLP issues to this article. Beccaynr (talk) 16:18, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:Aurora James. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please review WP:BLPTALK, e.g. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced and not related to making content choices should be removed, deleted, or oversighted, as appropriate.

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 Mick Jagger Andy Warhol 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 an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://guyhepner.com/product/mick-jagger-144-andy-warhol/ and https://revolverwarholgallery.com/portfolio/mick-jagger-portfolio/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 deleted 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.

Thanks for your email, I'll reply here tomorrow Jimfbleak - talk to me? 18:56, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm very familiar with Warhol, including going to a major exhibition of his works in Hong Kong a few years back, but that's not the point. An article should be aimed at educating people who no nothing about the topic.

You said Please do research and help re-build the page instead of deleting it. If you post an article it will be assessed as it stands. If you don't want that to happen, you should write it as a draft. But in any case, the idea is that you do the research, not just dump text and expect others to write a proper article. So many problems.

  • what does the title Mick Jagger Andy Warhol mean. The text eventually reveals that it's a set of screenprints, so a title like Mick Jagger (Warhol screenprints) would give us a clue.
  • The start of an article usually gives us some idea what it is about, yours starts with the unsourced opinion that " Andy Warhol found Mick Jagger to be very photogenic".
  • It did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the subject, organisation company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims. It's clearly notable, but your text is either unsourced or sourced only to a commercial sales site that is trying to make money from these, hardly an independent third-party source.
  • it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced or commercially-sourced claims presented as fact include: Andy Warhol found Mick Jagger to be very photogenic and took a liking to his 'bad-boy' image... the works appear more expressive than his earlier screenprints... shows the development of Warhol’s interest... It is one of Warhol’s most iconic series... Those signed by both are the most coveted pieces... 140 and 142 being the most desirable. What we want is real facts, not opinions, especially when they are taken from a sales pitch. I note that you don't attribute the opinions, and leave the link to Revolver as a bare url, practices that lack transparency.
  • If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. See guidance for editors with conflicts of interest. In particular, if you work directly or indirectly for Revolver, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are paid directly or indirectly, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Ericjcarrmiddletownde. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block.
  • the second paragraph was largely copied from Revolver. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. The copied site was marked . We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial but there is no indication that the copied site allows free use. Text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too promotional to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required.
