In praise of a job well done...

Hey there! I put the article Venda Inc up for AfD consideration, with the recommendation of erasure, and you came along and added all of those cogent references and fine writing in order to save it! Well, I can't let that kind of behaviour slip by without a proper response, so...

Nice editing! Buffalo Bill talk to me 06:01, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, it's always quite satisfying to help save a page from deletion. I'll continue to keep an eye on the page in case the duelling POV editors return. Gr1st (talk) 16:13, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Typo redirect BRIO - Publishing Made Simple

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on BRIO - Publishing Made Simple, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because BRIO - Publishing Made Simple is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting BRIO - Publishing Made Simple, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Need Help!

Hello Gr1st, this is JasminSingh. First of all, I really appreciate that you take out your precious time and help out to prevent vandalism in wikipedia articles. Thank you! Now as you have noticed there is this user with the following IP address 122.54.246.141, keeps vandalizing a lots of articles. For example, many other users tried to stop this IP-user from using chinese traditional text to STAR Indian Channels, such as STAR Plus, STAR One, etc..., but it seems like this user is just ignoring all these warnings and continues to vandalize. Besides as you have noticed there is a seperate page created by many users for all the STAR Plus channel's programms, but this user removes the link and copies all those shows and paste it under STAR Plus's main page (destroying the format), when it is not needed. So can you please help in how to stop (or block) this user from vandalizing. I will really appreciate your help. Your wiki friend JasminSingh, 10:15, 6 August 2008, (UTC).

Hi there. This editor has displayed a long term pattern of adding deliberately false information to articles. He/she has edited under numerous IP addresses, including 202.175.226.39, 202.175.226.236, 202.175.226.240, 202.175.226.194, 122.54.251.56 and 122.54.241.237. I'm not an administrator myself, so don't have the power to block users, but I can suggest two possible solutions:

• If the editor resumes vandalising pages using the current IP address (122.54.246.141), then you can immediately report it to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism since a final warning has already been handed out on the talk page. An admin will probably block the IP shortly afterwards.
• If a particular page has been vandalised repeatedly over a short space of time, you can request semi-protection at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection, which will prevent anonymous editors from editing the page. This request may be declined if an administrator thinks the page hasn't been vandalised frequently enough.

I hope the above helps somewhat, I'll try and keep an eye out for further vandalism from this user. Best, Gr1st (talk) 18:40, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Update: The IP has been blocked for one week as of today. Gr1st (talk) 19:08, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much Gr1st! I really appreciate your help. I just don't believe that this user continued to do the same action of vandalization even after getting all those warning signs. I am glad he/she is atleast blocked for 1 week, and I hope this will teach him/her the lesson. Let's hope, but we still must keep an eye on him/her!!! Thank you once again, your wiki friend, JasminSingh, 14:16, 8 August 2008, (UTC).

Masterpapers article

I saw my article about Masterpapers company has been deleted due to its 'blatant advertisement' of the company's services. You saw my article and I'm quite sure you didn't find any advertisement. I'm not so confident in such questions, but if Lucinor has ever had some experience with this company how could her/his opinion be neutral one? Regarding notability: he/she knows well (if he/she has had experience as she/he mentioned) that essay selling industry is really notable to write about because there are 'papers mills' as she/he said and they produce THOUSANDS of essays for students. This industry estimates millions of dollars and it IS NOTABLE TO TALK ABOUT! It's become the global-scale problem of fraud and such reports as Times etc. are really important to say about. Among such 'paper mills' masterpapers is a giant, thus I chose this company to write about: it's like McDonald's products among fast food. Essay selling DOES EXIST and it's worth saying due to its huge volumes of profits and services provided. Hope you'll change your mind soon Masterpapers (talk) 22:21, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello there. Just to be clear, the article was not deleted because it was a 'blatant advertisement': it was deleted because the consensus was that the company was insufficiently notable per Wikipedia's notability guidelines - that is to say that there was insufficient significant coverage of Masterpapers in reliable third-party sources (see my breakdown of the cited sources in the Articles for deletion debate). The deletion of this article was not any kind of commentary on the notability of paper mills in general (we already have an article on them here), it was simply the conclusion of most of those taking part in the debate that the coverage of this company in independent sources was not sufficient to warrant a Wikipedia article. You are welcome to re-create the article if you can find additional reliable sources as described here which treat Masterpapers in detail, not just in passing. Feel free to leave me another message to discuss this further. Regards, Gr1st (talk) 22:39, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Investment technology news

Hey, your changes look great, I've withdrawn my afd nomination. I'll move the article to Investment Technology Group too. justinfr (talk) 19:15, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I've tagged the original Investment technology news page for speedy deletion as an implausible typo. Gr1st (talk) 19:18, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Competitors of CNBC

Hi Gr1st, I do have reputable sources for my information. The Synovate/European Media and Marketing Survey considers CNBC a competitor to BBC World, Bloomberg TV, CNN International, Euronews and Sky News. These channels are all widely available across Europe and Asia, although they have very limited distribution in the US (except for CNBC, CNBC World and Bloomberg). The International feeds of both CNBC and Bloomberg have a greater focus on general World News and Analysis in general, however I will admit that the US feeds of both CNBC and Bloomberg are heavily biased towards covering US business news almost exclusively. The Survey regards that the overlap between the networks are significant enough to be considered competitors. If you have seen either BBC World or CNN International I am sure you will find that the business coverage of both networks are very considerable during the business week.

Responded here. Gr1st (talk) 10:00, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

CNBC Europe and Asia content do air in the US via CNBC World. NBC Universal currently measures the audience of CNBC World in the tens of thousands. According to the Washington Post "Business Is Slow for Fox Channel". The audience of Fox Business Network is quite miniscule in comparison with an average of around 8000 in the daytime. BBC World, Bloomberg TV, CNN International, Euronews are all available in the Tri-State Region which is the major market for CNBC and CNBC World. CNBC also airs international content from CNBC Europe on the program called Worldwide Exchange which broadcasts on both CNBC and CNBC World.

Responded here. Gr1st (talk) 15:34, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

The 2006 Global Capital Markets Survey conducted by Objective Research available here asserts that CNN International and BBC World News are both compeititors for CNBC worldwide. CNBC also airs in Canada where BBC World News is widely available. BBC World News is available 24/7 on Verizon Fios and Cablevision which both offer television service in the Tri-state Area (the major market for CNBC). CNN International is also available on Time Warner Cable and Verizon Fios. The overlap between these networks are significant in target markets of North America.
