Merge request

Re.: tenosynovial giant cell tumor
If I read this request properly, you seem to be looking to populate a stand-alone article about Tenosynovial giant cell tumor. If I have that correct, then there really isn't a merge required, just a need to write the article. That can be done at the redirect entitled "tenosynovial giant cell tumor".

If some merging of materials from the other two articles are required to do that, however, then attribution needs to be maintained when lifting the materials out of the other articles. If there are identical materials in the two exiting articles that could be merged into one over-arching article, that may also be a way to go forward. Each of the three titles would then have a sub-section in the finished, merged article. Let me know. Regards, GenQuest ^{"Talk to Me"} 01:16, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A beer for you!

Thank you for following our COI procedures. I deal with a fair amount of COI editors and only a seemingly miniscule percentage of them bother to disclose and follow our procedures. It is much appreciated, so thank you! Marquardtika (talk) 04:08, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Marquardtika: Many thanks! Jon Gray (talk) 14:19, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Added the paid template to Everett Eissenstat‎

Hi Jon! Just to give you a head's up, I added the paid template to the talk page of Everett Eissenstat earlier today. You correctly disclosed your paid status in your request, which I greatly appreciate, but wanted to be sure the template was on the page as well (in case the discussion gets archived). I see another editor has come by and made the requested edits. See you around! Orville^talk 05:13, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Orville: Sounds good, thanks! Jon Gray (talk) 14:17, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Looking at the talk page Talk:Mary_Barra I find that your work is very professional. I particularly like your own "User page" which make your own and your firm's interests quite clear. Certainly a breath fresh air and hopefully a model for other PR firms.

Oh, I added Mary Barra's induction, as an engineering undergraduate student, into the Tau Beta Pi honor society. Also I added her 2018 election to the National Academy of Engineering. Both are prestigious and earned through personal accomplishments.

Stay safe! Lent (talk) 09:17, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Lent: I appreciate that very much, thank you! Hope you and yours are staying safe as well. Jon Gray (talk) 00:38, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ben Lamm (May 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by RoySmith were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I spot-checked a few of the references and didn't see anything that convinced me the subject meets WP:NBIO. It would be useful if you could note here in the comments the WP:THREE best references for the next reviewer to look at.

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:Ben Lamm and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Ben Lamm, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ben Lamm (August 31)

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

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

We just give the refs, with possibly a key phrase--we dont copy extensive material from them. A good deal of the notability depends on the companies he founded., and that eeds to be checked also. (the patents are not relevant to notable, and should be omitted.

Your draft article, Draft:Ben Lamm

Hello, Jon Gray. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Ben Lamm".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

The UPS Store edit request

Hi Jon, your edit request on The UPS Store is complete. Thanks for following the process. AntiVan (talk) 09:43, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

June 2021

Hello, I'm Aranya. I noticed that in this edit to Talk:AT&T, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Aranya (talk) 13:55, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Aranya: Good morning - yes, I deleted an edit request I previously posted as I was told it was too long. My intention this morning, and what I will do shortly, is repost an abbreviated version of the edit request in the hopes it will be reviewed. I see the previous edit request was restored, which is no problem. I'll go ahead and post the abbreviated edit request after that one now. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Jon Gray (talk) 13:58, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jon, hope your morning is going well. We usually don't remove or replace old requests now that they've been replied to, since discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion. Your plan sounds great - thanks for taking the time to follow through with Wikipedia's policies on COI editing. Aranya (talk) 14:12, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Aranya: Totally understand and will definitely bear that in mind moving forward. Thanks for letting me know! Jon Gray (talk) 14:15, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jon, on Talk Pages, don't remove anything but vandalism. Instead, use the strike-through option (or code combo of: <s> </s>: bracketing the content you desire to strike). Happy editing. GenQuest ^"scribble" 14:17, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@GenQuest: Appreciate that tip - I'll implement that as well on the old request. Jon Gray (talk) 17:03, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
