Tag removal on Lori Greiner

I am a paid editor who was working on the page of Lori Greiner. I have made my paid disclosure on the talk page of the article and would need your help in eliminating the tags from the page. I studied the talk page and noted that all paid editors have declared their paid status. I have found some press links that can help in supporting the article further: 1. https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/315473 2. https://www.forbes.com/sites/danschawbel/2014/03/11/lori-greiner/#6db25f84f0f7 3. https://www.uspto.gov/custom-page/greiner-organizes-world 4. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/daniel-dipiazza/shark-tank-star-lori-grei_b_10814256.html

It would be great if you could make me understand what is the underlying issue with her page and how can that be solved. Thanks!

• @Philpallen: Thank you for disclosing your paid editing status on the article talk page, but that's not enough. Editors with paid editing contributions are required as per paid-contribution disclosure policy to disclose links to any off-wiki accounts they are using to obtain business. So, can you take some time to fully comply with the WP:PAID policy by disclosing link(s) to all active accounts or websites where you advertise paid Wikipedia-editing services? Once the disclosure is done we can move on to the rest. GSS ^💬 18:31, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

• @GSS: My website is http://philpallen.co/services, but Wikipedia editing is not a service I advertise or do on a regular basis. I was paid by Lori Greiner, who has been a client of mine for the past several years for projects related to her social media and webpage content. During these years, I discovered misinformation on her Wikipedia page. She had no idea how to correct it, and it was urgent, I proceeded to make edits for her to correct details and add context. I've only attempted to correct minor issues. These edits have mostly been rejected due to my association. Since the page was originally flagged, I have seen it be diminished to a fraction of the information that was there, but still, it is flagged. Please guide me on the way forward. Thanks! (Philpallen (talk) 14:10, 30 April 2020 (UTC))

• @GSS: Circling back on this since I didn't hear back from you. I would appreciate if you could help me with Lori's page now that I have shared all details. Thanks.Philpallen (talk) 23:51, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Question for you

Hello GSS. I don't know if you saw the ping, but there is a discussion where a question is posed to you at Talk:Ken_Banks#Edit_request:_Help_clearing_warnings_and_correcting_my_page. Could you respond to that? Thanks, Sam-2727 (talk) 14:27, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Regarding Conflict of Interest

Hi,

you wrote me regarding a supposed conflict of interest on a page I recently uploaded. I recently became aware of and enjoyed this artist's music, and saw that they had no page. I created what I thought was a well-sourced page with a NPOV. I emailed their site requesting a photo that could be used, and received the one that I put on the page. I will send the form requested for verification or release of the photo to them and post what response I get on that front. Thanks, Pbjamesphoto (talk) 19:17, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

@Pbjamesphoto: Do you have a reliable source to support your claim that "Darshini began musical studies with Bombay Lakshmi Rajagopalan at age nine." I looked all over including her website and social media profiles, but can't verify. GSS ^💬 15:59, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Make a good faith effort to reword instead of reverting in Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale

Hey GSS, you have a tendency to revert changes from contributors in the article Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. When possible (and I understand this is not always possible), can you instead make specific edits to address your concerns? I'm referring to the recommendations in WP:ONLYREVERT and the Wikipedia policy under WP:QUO: If you see a good-faith edit which you feel does not improve the article, make a good-faith effort to reword instead of reverting it. It's more work, but creates a friendly atmosphere where people feel like they are working together, rather than against one another.

Again, I'm not suggesting you should keep changes that you find controversial. I am talking about uncontroversial changes that improve the article as a whole. As an example, look at the grammatical mistakes you added to the "In popular culture" section here [1] with your revert just today. Is it possible that you could correct that? --Elephanthunter (talk) 19:00, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your comments regarding edits to my article. Although I don't agree with all of them, I do appreciate your time and dedication to wikipedia. Will continue to keep working on it. JVadera (talk) 16:34, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Sarita Khurana

GSS Please note that WP:CSD clearly states If an editor other than the creator removes a speedy deletion tag in good faith, it should be taken as a sign that the deletion is not uncontroversial and another deletion process should be used. If you continue to request a CSD, you ought to consider that the admin who will process the request is going to note of your edit-warring. I'd prefer not to make this any more difficult than it needs to be. Take it to AfD. Vexations (talk) 17:12, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

@Vexations: You declined G4 which is not something that a non-admin can do because it needs comparison between the current and the deleted version so, please let an admin decide. GSS ^💬 17:15, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

GSS, do you have any evidence that the article is a re-post? Vexations (talk) 17:30, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

I was the nominator of the 2018 version and as far as I remember the current version is mostly the same, and there are no changes in the notability which was the main reason why it was deleted. GSS ^💬 17:55, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

IC3PEAK

GSS, I'd like to notify you that I left this message on the OTRS Noticeboard:

One of the editors put "paid contributions" tags for the notable Russian band, oppositional to the Russian government known very well in Russia and internationally). The band doesn't need any contributors and was edited by tens of volunteers, yet someone put a tag without any substantial proof. I'd like to ask Wikipedia community of volunteers to double check the page and find if it actually needs any "clean-up". No advertorial information was found by me. i believe there is a case of biased or groundless accusations here and possible abuse of power. Here is the page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IC3PEAK

I believe that your accusations are groundless and most probably based on speculation than on any substantial proof. The IC3PEAK page was edited by more than 30 editors and this proves its notability (together with the lots of citation). I think that your contribution is harmful to Wikipedia in this particular case. 2601:1C0:CB01:2660:A8BE:F9AB:6F2B:A569 (talk) 03:53, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

@2601:1C0:CB01:2660:A8BE:F9AB:6F2B:A569: It sounds like you were given a task to remove this tag and as I said on the talk page, I have pretty clear evidence in my hands to support my claim of paid contributions on this page. GSS ^💬 03:57, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

GSS 

It doesn't matter how I sound to you since my request is eligible according to the WP policy and no one is above rules here, you included. If you threaten me or accuse me for trying to verify your contributions, it is not not nice. Believe it or not, my motive is to double check that you are right (or not). Are you familiar with the tolerance and politeness? 2601:1C0:CB01:2660:A8BE:F9AB:6F2B:A569 (talk) 04:27, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Cool Suresh

He has notable roles in several films including Kaakha Kaakha, Aaytha Ezhuthu, Pachaikili Muthucharam and Padikkadavan. Although his films list may not be explicitly stated in a source, he reveals films that he has acted with in his interviews. On google under the videos sections, there are several videos. He has sources under Deccan Chronicle. He has worked on several more (hundreds) of films in Tamil. Since he is a Tamil actor, there are also Tamil sources. In other words, there are serveal sources out there (in Tamil) and they will need to be added. TamilMirchi (talk) 20:36, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

@GSS: Hi You are Moving The Draft:Wave Music Bhojpuri to Draft Can You say What's the Reason. So i can make it correct you are not giving any correct reasons please share any correct reasons you have moved them Draft Waiting For You..

@Iankush raj: A Google search for your username + Wave Music or Worldwide Records revealed you have a conflict of interest and you need to disclose. GSS ^💬 13:07, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

@GSS: Wave Music Bhojpuri is very popular in bhojpuri industry and it should be on wikipedia. You are removing all the pages which are related to my article i have given many citation and all the citation are true. Then also you removed.

@Iankush raj: You have still not responded to COI, if you continue editing these pages without declearing your relation you'll be reported. GSS ^💬 10:02, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

@Iankush raj: None of these companies are notable and lacks in-depth coverage in reliable sources. GSS ^💬 10:56, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

@GSS: Why you think this company are not notable Wave Music Bhojpuri is World Record of Lollypop Lagelu in 2008 one of the world record in Bhojpuri Industry Song. By Pawan Singh this company is notable why can't you google about this.

Page submitted for draft

I was wanting to know why my page was not allowed. In an email you accuse me of having a "conflict on interest" which is not true, and then when I log into my account I have a message being accused of "being paid" which I am not. After coming here and seeing others having almost the same issue, now I am wondering if there is some censorship going on here? has the creator of wikipedia every been investigated by a journalist or media outlet? I am not getting a good vibe from the way articles are being handled, particularly unproven allegations being made against contributors. Certainly a legal case against a false allegation such as 'being paid' has weight in court and even a 'conflict of interest'. Plus1sassy (talk) 10:57, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Rajendra Prasad Singh

Hello GSS. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Rajendra Prasad Singh, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: SUbstantially more sources than last time, and more detail on his work. Sufficiently different to the AfD. Needs to be relisted at AFD as necessary. Thank you. GedUK  15:07, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Kindly check the references cited before declining

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Priyanka_NK has been created and cited with the required Primary and secondary reference sources. Being a part of Star Vijay and various other albums goes well with the notability. The subject also goes well with the criterias as mentioned in Wikipedia:Notability (music) . Have also cited many other references mentioning the notability of the subject. Kindly check everything once.

@Theglobalbiz: Please see WP:RS to understand what Wikipedia considers to be a reliable source. GSS ^💬 16:46, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

The subject concerned is a singer who has sung for [[2]] and so many others, with millions of views and following. And the references cited do go well with the notability criteria. Kindly consider having a look at the subject please.

"Impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic"

Hi GSS, i'm not being paid for creating this page. However, I will outline the circumstances that brought be to create the wikipedia page for Gohar Vardanyan. I was asked by a friend, who is now retired and turned his longtime interest in classical guitar to a full time passion, if there was a reason why Gohar didn't have a wikipedia, as he believed she was deserving. I subsequently looked into the precedent set by existing wikipedia articles about her peers; and concluded that she is. So I created the page. Please review the article thoroughly and the references to verify that it is balanced, objective and properly sourced. If you have any issues, please let me know. I have, in the past had an indirect financial connection and declared that connection, even though it was loose.

Draft:Luke Jones (journalist)

Why did you redirect Draft:Luke Jones (journalist) to point to Draft:Luke Jones? Is it because you thought it will never be accepted. If it is accepted, it will have to be accepted as Luke Jones (journalist). I will have to untangle it now. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:45, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

There are three copies of the draft, but if it is to be considered for acceptance, it should have a disambiguated title, because Luke Jones is a disambiguation list. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:49, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Sikhs for justice and other indian proprgenda

GSS,

I noticed that Wikipedia is being used as propaganda tool of Indian State all the freedom fighters of Sikh community are labeled as 'terrorist'. Sant jarnail singh Bhindrawale, dilawar singh Babbar, balwant singh rajoana, jagtar singh hawara all are recognized as freedom fighters by Akal takhat . but Wikipedia explains different. Wikipedia is being used as propaganda tool for indian state. SFJ is running peacefully campaign but still being labeled as terrorist. you must put your personal feeling aside working as editor. if you continue to working a propaganda tool I'm not gonna stop and gonna keep editing. enough is enough.

Possible UPE

Per notability what do you think of this article d'Afflitto ? Do you think it’s notable or not? That aside, I’ve got damning evidence(sent to me) that this article was created by a/an UPE editor.

@Celestina007: I draftified this earlier for the same reason but wasn't having any evidence. The article exists on the Italian Wikipedia since 2006 so, I'm not sure about the notability, to be honest, but maybe DGG can determine who appear to have good knowledge in this area as per this.

Does a paragraph each in the Guardian and Telegraph not count as "significant coverage about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject"?

Not paid to edit

Hello. You recently marked an article I published as "may have been created or edited in return for undisclosed payments." I was not paid nor do I have any affiliation with the subject. The subject has been covered in several sources independent of the subject, which I cited throughout. I hoped to add this article on a notable subject as a small contribution towards gender equity on Wikipedia, but I see this may be unwelcome. I myself now feel unwelcome here on Wikipedia as a result of your rebuke. I hope others will continue to fight Wikipedia's well-known gender gap. I trust you've achieved what you intended.

@Enby: Well, an advert on Upwork that was posted a day before you created Aicha Evans tells a different story. GSS ^💬 05:10, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

@GSS: I created the page because I saw Zoox (company) in the news and noticed that their CEO did not have a Wikipedia page. I have a personal agenda in the sense that I'd like Wikipedia to have more pages about women; that's the extent of it. I'm not sure how to prove that I neither posted nor was hired by an ad. I'm vaguely aware of Upwork but have never used it. What evidence can I provide to prove that I am unaffiliated? Enby (talk) 05:22, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

@GSS: On the draft you said "Sorry but there is pretty clear evidence off-wiki. Please let me know if you want to see them" -- yes, I want to see them, because they don't exist. I was not paid. I did not see or accept any ad or compensation. Enby (talk) 05:48, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

As per WP:Outing I can't post them here, but I'll share some details on WP:COIN soon. GSS ^💬 09:23, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

@GSS: I see on the WP:COIN page that you're required to notify me. I look forward to being provided the opportunity to provide any required evidence to prove that no conflict of interest exists. If the page isn't published because the significant coverage about this subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject is not enough, that's fine. But it is important to me that I'm acquitted of what you're accusing me of. Enby (talk) 17:05, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

@GSS: Hello. I wanted to check in and see whether you have had a chance to review this further. I see as I scroll through your talk page that you work hard to try to identify and stop inappropriate editing of Wikipedia by others. I appreciate your work. In my case, again, I was not paid and have no conflict of interest. When you are able, please let me know what I can provide as proof so that the inaccurate "Undisclosed paid" tag can be removed from Draft:Aicha Evans. Thank you.

El C - it was noindexed - I was in the process of expansion and using it live for my NPP student. This has all gone to hell in a handbasket for no good reason. It was doing no harm where it was, and this disruption was unneccessary. There are plenty of drafts and articles these two reviewers could have focused besides the one I was working on. I'm not just a longtime NPP reviewer, I took the student for a reason and I should not have to explain my every move. No harm - no foul but they wouldn't drop the stick. ^Atsme _Talk 📧 14:53, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

You can move the draft to the article space when it's ready, Atsme. I don't know anything about a student, but what's the point of a draft if the expansion is happening live? It sort of defeats the purpose. El_C 14:56, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Not a Paid Edit

Hello GSS,

You recently reverted an edit I made citing the reason of "Again whitewashing and likely paid". I wasn't paid to do anything related to the subject (feel free to check). The reason I tried to change is because the banner said this article needs to be improved. The manual states these are the policies for a biography of a living person: Neutral point of view (NPOV), Verifiability (V), No original research (NOR). I truly doubt the current version complies with the policies mentioned. The references also have broken links and includes self-published sources. Why am I not entitled to improve this page? (as mentioned at the top of the page: This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages.)) I hope you are not bullying a new user. Thunderbotz (talk) 17:28, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

@GSS: I doubt you have any evidence because I do not take any payments for doing the edit. I am just a new user and the banner says this article requires improvement. In fact, this article is now being protected cuz it's subjected to persistent disruptive editing. Why? Cuz it has so many broken links and self-published sources. I do not reckon you are responsibly doing your job well as a contributor. If you continue to make groundless accusations, I will resort to the admin.

Hi GSS. I just wanted to drop a quick note that your reverts on Nicholas Barton (filmmaker) appear to be close to WP:3RR. I know it's annoying, but even though there was sockpuppetry, unsourced content, and possible COI involved in this case, these do not necessarily exempt your reverts from the edit warring policy.

Gunaalp bey, You were very lucky. I would have sent it for speedy deletion as a blatant advert. The sources are atrocious and I have left a comment on the draft to that effect

Article Tagged As Paid

Hi,

I'd like to know why this article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Smallzz_tha_razor) has been tagged as a paid work. No payment of any kind was done or made to have this article up on Wikipedia. If you suspect foul play, can you play notify me where such mistake was made so it could be corrected.

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shortolani01 (talk • contribs) 16:15, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Awkward, this: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chai Point

This AfD is pretty straightforward, but I am becoming increasingly concerned about edits by the long serving editor who created it. I would be very disappointed if this editor is doing this on purpose. I was concerned enough to template their talk page before I determined that they have been here a goodly while. I hope I am in error on this one, not that I have bumped into them before. Fiddle Faddle 12:29, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

The more I look the more I see edits that have a UPE scent Fiddle Faddle 12:36, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Smile Foundation

Hi GSS, May I ask why you reverted my edits to this page? I only added factual info and they were supported by news references. John shibo (talk) 14:57, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Because your edits are promotional and you appear to have a conflict of interest which you need to disclose per WP:COI. GSS ^💬 15:20, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for guidelines. I read through the WP:COI and would like to disclose that I have a conflict of interest with the foundation as an employee. I would mention it on my talk page as well as stated at WP:COI. Regarding my edits, I had tried to write from a neutral point of view and my edits were backed by references. The foundation has assisted thousands of people affected by floods in states like Kerala, Odissa. I wanted to add about our disaster management and other programs so more people could know and benefit from these. John shibo (talk) 16:50, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

@John shibo: see WP:WWIN. GSS ^💬 17:47, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

I understand Wikipedia is not for promotion and would hence try to rewrite those programms in a more neutral tone to meet Wikipedia standards. I was just wondering If you could help me to remove those tags from the page since the article as a whole now has adequate references and I also have disclosed my employment status on my talk page.John shibo (talk) 16:59, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi GSS, I would really appreciate if you help me to remove those tags from the page. Thank you! John shibo (talk) 15:18, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi GSS, I saw you added the tag back to the page. Could you please either remove it or advise what I can do to fix this issue? Thanks. John shibo (talk) 16:20, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

I did everything as you advised. I don't really understand why you are not removing those tags or allowing me to remove them. John shibo (talk) 16:28, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

The article was heavily edited by users with a conflict of interested so it's not possible to remove the tag at its current stage. GSS ^💬 16:31, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

What about the other tag that has to do with subjects notability. I think the page has enough sources and it passes the notability criterion. Can we remove that one at least if not this?

The notability of the subject is questionable and it lacks in-depth coverage as required by WP:ORGDEPTH. Pinging Praxidicae who is an expert in identifying sources. GSS ^💬 16:51, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Pages created by Problematic Editor

About a month ago, I edited Draft:Rice Powell (businessperson) where I removed a bunch of unsourced information. I just returned to the page now and see that it's been tagged as UPE and the creating editor has been blocked. What will happen to all of the other pages he created? I just had a look at some of the others he created and they look problematic to me. Will they be nominated for deletion? MaskedSinger (talk) 16:02, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Not sure if you saw this. MaskedSinger (talk) 14:18, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

@MaskedSinger: First of all, I apologize for replying so late on this thread. There are around 200+ articles in the mainspace (excluding redirects). So, if you have free time, you can review these articles for naturality and notability and if any of them look problematic you can nominate for deletion. You can also raise the concern at WP:COIN.

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm happy to make my way through some but I don't know how to nominate for deletion. I will bring up at WP:COIN and tag you. MaskedSinger (talk) 19:26, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi, You deleted my Harpz Kaur page.

I am not paid to write Wikipedia entires. If you check out my history then you'll see I haven't written or edited anything for years so it's certainly not a paid gig. I just do stuff from time to time on things I am interested in or where I spot gaps.

I am one of the few women who write for Wikipedia and I wrote a page on an Asian female TV and Radio presenter and it's been deleted which is really disappointing. Would you mind putting it back please?

Sorry if I've replied wrong. My Wikipedia skills are limited. I am definitely not a professional. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Missus IP (talk • contribs) 11:06, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, I moved it back because you were wrong about me being paid and I couldn't declare my employer / client because I am not being paid for the work so there was none to disclose.

I wasn't "warring" I was putting the article back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Missus IP (talk • contribs) 11:24, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

I am absolutely not paid or being requested to write anything on here. I am really alarmed by your accusations and feel quite threatened by you. This is the first time I've written pages for years and I really enjoyed getting back into it until this happened. I am going to log out of Wikipedia and not come back.

If you want to delete the pages then do it. It's only taking information away from people. I am hugely upset by your accusations and feel harassed by you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Missus IP (talk • contribs) 11:40, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

New Page Creation Route Mobile Limited

Hi, GSS, I have no affiliation with this page company. I am just a independent wikipedia editor. I was searching for the page and found no body published this even though many news media covered this and this company lunched its IPO yesterday. So i thought of creating a page for it. You can see the talk section. I have asked some financial market users to provide Profit loss data of company in graphical form. So yes this page is independently produced by collecting reference from available resources. Also the current draft has many misinformation regarding employee count, awards etc. Please revert to the latest one after reviewing it. Thank You Wikibijay1 (talk) 17:12, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Pepperstone page

Hi GSS,

I was reaching out to receive some more guidance on how the Pepperstone page be made a legitimate page.

It seems it was edited back in 2017 and the method used wasn't correct which is something I would like to avoid.

Are you able to provide any specific recommendations?

Re: September 2020

Hi GSS,

I already replied to your accusation when you brought them up last year. See User talk:GSS (20 June 2019). This hasn't changed. I am not paid for to write on Wikipedia nor do I have a financial stake in the topics I write about.

I don't think my employment situation is relevant here, but I am fine with letting you know that I am a self-employed software engineer in fintech industry. My customers include banks and fintech companies in the EU. You can easily verify from my contribution history that I have not created or edited any article in this area.

The accusation in relation to this specific article is a joke, as we are talking about a FOSS software that is being developed by unpaid developers in their spare time. There is no money involved, so there is no room for any undisclosed payments. Please do your homework before doing such bold claims.

Anyway, Thanks for keeping an eye on Wikipedia. AlpacaWiki (talk) 18:42, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
