Page Move

Hi SerAntoniDeMiloni. You moved Michael Ward (actor, born 1995) to Michael Ward (British Actor)‎, which you should not have done as there is already a Michael Ward (actor) who is British (and a film actor). When we have BIOs whose names and professions are identical, we use the DOB as the next way to disambiguate the names (we also don't use capitals in the descriptor). See Tom Brown for examples. We are going to have to revert this move back, therefore. If you want to move a page and are unsure of the policy/guidelines around article naming, raise the idea on the Talk Page first to check with others. Thank you.

Vulcain (watch company) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Vulcain (watch company), does not have enough sources and citations 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. Loksmythe (talk) 17:54, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Loksmythe. I will do so in an hour or so. I'm just adding citations now. SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 17:56, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi again Loksmythe. I've just submitted with a plethora of citations. It would be great if you could have a look. Thanks! SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 18:23, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Loksmythe, I've just made a couple of edits that I hope will remove the note about possible ad-like nature (such as the 'Watch of Presidents'). I've given it a re-read, and would like to note that much of Vulcain's history is steeped in their favour with US presidents and their history of gifting the watches to presidents (alongside their invention of the alarm-watch). Are there any other alterations you would suggest? Your help is much appreciated. Thanks SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 19:09, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

+ I've also added some more reputable sources (such as Bloomberg and Business Insider . Here's another Bloomberg () and A German National newspaper (). Most of the sources talking about the history say quite similar things, I have just added more news sources so as to not rely too heavily on a single source. Thanks 😃 SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 19:35, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Deprodding of Isra Hirsi

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag from Isra Hirsi, which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial. Proposed deletion is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, proposed deletion is disallowed on articles that have previously been de-prodded, even by the page's creator, or which have previously been listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{proposed deletion}} template back to the article, but feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! —KuyaBriBri^Talk 15:24, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:LeslieGoonewardenePortrait70s.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:LeslieGoonewardenePortrait70s.jpg, which you've attributed to Mr Goonewardene. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:16, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi again Diannaa. Apologies for that – the file is OTRS pending. I'll add the tag. Thanks, SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 22:18, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Leslie Goonewardene

SerAntoniDeMiloni, in case you hadn't seen it, the nomination is currently on hold pending image licensing improvements for the images in the article. Please see the nomination template for more information. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 11:30, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for that BlueMoonset. I've been speaking to the photo author who's been going through the OTRS, and it seems that he's been having some timing issues. He hasn't received a response to an email reply he sent 5 days ago, and the process seems to be going in circles. Do you have any suggestions on how to get more engagement? I'm hoping to get the DYK through before I start college next week, at which point I'll have quite a bit less time to focus on it. Thanks, SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 11:36, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

SerAntoniDeMiloni, things at OTRS can take a while; I've never quite figured out how it works or how to get more engagement than there has been already. I do, however, think that you need to post about this on the nomination page, including the timing issues (both OTRS and your impending college work). BlueMoonset (talk) 03:36, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Latymer Upper School Facade.png

Thanks for uploading File:Latymer Upper School Facade.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:

1. 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.
2. 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. Whpq (talk) 20:19, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Latymer Upper School 1800s.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 20:19, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Thome Rodrigo (prince)

The article Thome Rodrigo (prince) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Notability not established with substantive sources: source just has a single passing mention of him

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. Reywas92^Talk 14:42, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Nomination of Thome Rodrigo (prince) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Thome Rodrigo (prince) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thome Rodrigo (prince) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Edits to Baroness Joanna Shields page

My name is Laura and I work for Joanna Shields, Baroness Shields, a baron, businessperson, and former British politician. The page about her was recently tagged for COI and advert issues due to some poor edits made years ago. I posted here regarding my desire to address the substance of the tags with a re-write or heavy trims, to remove the promotional content. I was hoping you might be willing to chime in on the proposed trims and/or the suggestion for a rewrite. Let me know. Best regards.~~~~ LauTad89 (talk) 07:59, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Delta Phi

Delta Phi does *not* prefer to use St. Elmo to the greek letters. Please bring up such a significant change on the talk page. I'm reverting. (Also, the image added is larger than any other similar image for a GLO.Naraht (talk) 17:16, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, Naraht; I was just about to do the same. Mr. DeMiloni, over some years we have clarified and standardized our syntax for fraternity and sorority articles. This has been accomplished by a very active group of project editors. Project groups, often populated by editors that are knowledgeable about a particular subject, add value both by their tacit knowledge and their passion for a subject. Good project groups are consistent and not scattershot. Over several days you have offered edits to the Delta Phi article, only that one out of over 3,000 articles we track, all of which edits have been reverted. May I ask your connection with that group? I note you offer regular changes to articles relating to Sri Lanka. Because I don't know much about Sri Lanka, except for the fact that Arthur C. Clark lived there, I would defer to those, like you, who are more knowledgeable about that nation to make all but the most routine edits, such as the correction of typos. Fair? Jax MN (talk) 18:04, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Of course! Thank you for the kind input. I'd been reading several articles on the US educational system after going on a tangent on the University of Virginia, and thought I'd try cleaning up some articles. I saw the St. Anthony Hall article as a GA, and thought I'd try use that template. Of course, happy to make corrections with guidance. I'd note that the image I found seems to represent far better than the old image. SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 18:56, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Ways to improve Edgard & Cooper

Hello, SerAntoniDeMiloni,

Thank you for creating Edgard & Cooper.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Lots of sources with COIs and unreliable sources in references such as 1, 3, 16, 21... could use some trimming but likely notable per the non-english sources

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Justiyaya}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Request reason:

Your reason here I’ve been editing on Wikipedia since the end of 2017, age 12, and in that time have written pages on many of my interests – from History and South Asian Independence, to start-ups and tech. From watches to microbiology. The pages I have written have always been dictated by my interests, rather than the interests of others.

In this time writing, I’ve contributed heavily to Good Article reviews, with 9 if I remember right, and have written 2 Good Articles myself on interesting historical figures. These have been from scratch and features on the DYK section.

I’m also a student. A couple of months ago, a friend asked me to write a page for IFIT (which he is affiliated to). This was not done for payment. Being a university student, and naturally not having money, the friend suggested that for helping write this page, I could be introduced to three fellow nonprofits and could try asking for payment.

In reflection, I understand that this was a grave mistake. That I should not have proposed partaking in editing for payment for the three nonprofits. These pages were never built, and these conversations did not progress. It came from a misguided suggestion, and was wrong.

Aside from the edits made for IFIT, which were unpaid but done as a favour, I have *not* edited in a paid manner before. I have not received renumeration for my work, and I have edited on pages that pique my interest. Sometimes for very niche aspects.

I have made a grave error in entertaining the idea of paid editing, and for not disclosing helping IFIT build their page. For this, I heavily apologise. I have read the paid editing disclosure requirements, and now understand them fully.

Aside from IFIT, which was unpaid but with the suggested on payment from one of the three instructions, none of the pages I have written in the past have been paid editing. I am happy to walk page-by-page through every one of my edits since 2017 if this helps.

I apologise greatly for this conduct, and hope that my long 7 years of editing on Wikipedia, and on contributing to it, is not overshadowed by a broke student’s lapse in judgement. I have learned, and shall not make this lapse again. I hope I am given the opportunity to continue editing and contributing to the many Wikiprojects as I have before, and appreciate your time in this. SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 19:57, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Based on the private evidence available to functionaries, I'm not convinced that you're being entirely honest here or that you will be an asset to the encyclopedia if unblocked. Spicy (talk) 05:28, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Recyclable nappies, probiotic yoghurt, a Tuscan winery, a Nigerian priest, a Chilean vegan food manufacturer – that's quite an eclectic range of interests for a teenager. I can't discuss the off-wiki evidence that led to this block here, to protect your own privacy as much as anything else, but I will say that it's very convincing. Your fastest route to an unblock is to be as forthright as possible. Paid editing is not strictly forbidden on Wikipedia, but undisclosed paid editing is, so you will remain blocked until we're convinced that you've disclosed all your clients and will abide by WP:PAID and WP:COI going forward. – Joe (talk) 21:33, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Joe, Spicy. Yes, of course, please let me explain all. I feel really terrible about having been blocked, because Wiki editing has been a huge passion of mine for so many years, since childhood. I’m mortified, and very much hope that my openness and genuine remorse will allow me to redeem myself.

The pages I’ve written reflect many of the eclectic interests I have. For instance, Speidel and Vulcain were written in 2020 when my school classes were cancelled. I’m an avid watch collector, and had bought a Vulcain Cricket from the 50s, which came on a 50s Speidel band, on eBay. I got quite interested in the history of both, so I delved into writing their pages. I had little else to do.

Other pages like ZF Sachs were written by transcribing from German language pages. Here, a relative worked for the company in the 1800s, and the company had been defunct for a decade or so I believe.

Lots of the startup company edits seem a bit more sporadic, but I did an unpaid internship at a venture capital fund called the Craftory a few years ago (where my dad works). I wrote pages around startups I met there in my spare time because I was quite interested in their work, and because writing these pages allowed me to connect to a couple of founders after I’d written their pages. I found that it allowed me a pretty unique opportunity to connect with interesting people I’d never get to connect with otherwise. The only payment I received from the Craftory after I wrote their page, and only after telling them I had written it, was a baseball cap, and nothing else. A couple of the startups, specifically Dyper and Edgard & Cooper did send me a few hundred pounds each as token appreciation, but only after meeting the founders, after writing the page. I’m just a student, and I made the mistake of accepting these thank-yous without disclosing the pages as “paid work”, because I just didn’t think of them as such because I hadn’t gone out soliciting the work commercially. That was nevertheless the wrong thing to have done, and I’m sorry for that.

The Nigerian priest is the pastor of a friend in his London ‘flock’. My friend knows about my wiki hobby, and he asked me as a favour to try build his pastor a page. I created a stub from what seemed notable in 10 mins and left it there. Most of what’s there now wasn’t my work. The winery is one that my grandparents used to own, but that I haven’t been back to since the early 2010s. New owners expanded quite a bit since, and I thought the winery was noteworthy of a page, so I wrote one. I didn’t get paid for this.

I haven’t written pages with input except for a couple of professors, who I’d reached out to in order to better understand their work, especially for rather complex things like microbiology. Lots of the microbiology profs just came out of interest after writing the page on Seed and meeting its founders (the probiotic company).

I think the work that verges closest to solicited paid work was the page for IFIT. A college friend reached out, asking if his father could ask me a couple of questions about Wikipedia. His father runs the institute, and asked me if I could help him write a page. He noted that, as a charity, they don’t have much money, but that he might be able to help me make some money from my writing if I could help out. They’d been looking into some sort of page writing services, but suggested that if I could write the page, I could be introduced to some of their partners who could pay.

The page was sufficiently notable, and the opportunity to earn some money was quite motivating. I wrote the page, and then IFIT helped me write a brochure for a wiki writing service using other pages I’d written in the past as examples. They introduced me to three of their partners in the foundation space, and I made the mistake of trying to solicit paid editing. I deeply apologise here. This was a mistake, and I now clearly see this.

I’m hugely proud of my body of work for Wiki, and I have met some fascinating people as a result of my editing. I would be absolutely crestfallen if my mistake in not managing paid work properly would preclude me from continuing to contribute to Wiki, and being part of the Wiki editing family, especially with my wide range of pages from Boris Skossyreff to Leslie Goonewardene. I have very much understood my mistake, and hope that my contrition might persuade you to give me a second chance. Yours hopefully. SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 07:19, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the honesty, but basically what you're saying is that almost every single article you have created over the past six years involved a COI, some of them financial COIs. And not only did you not disclose any of this or follow any of the guidelines given in WP:COI, you actively denied them when challenged. That is nothing to be proud of and not encouraging. If you want to make another unblock request then it's not up to me whether to accept it, but I would be worried that you continue to see Wikipedia as a professional networking opportunity. – Joe (talk) 07:35, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Also, I don't want to out you here (and please be careful about what you disclose yourself – connecting dots is not hard), but if I have correctly deduced from the above who your father is, then you have also made direct, undisclosed edits to articles about him, his companies, and other members of your family. Frankly, there's nothing eclectic about your editing at all: scratch the surface and it all comes back to promoting your family business. – Joe (talk) 07:43, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Please don’t be harsh. I’ve written over 100 pages on a huge range of topics, none of which involved any conflicts of interest, or payment. As per your request, I’ve diligently listed every single page where a conflict might have been deemed to be in place - it’s 6 in total. Writing about deceased relatives shouldn't be relevant I thought - most of these pages have been translated and expanded from other language Wikis, and are both notable and well cited. My defence is that I genuinely didn’t solicit writing for any fee up until the IFIT page, and the 2 modest thank-yous I received from the startups felt like pocket money rather than payment. I also always adhered to the strict editorial rules, with fairly balanced notable pages in everything I have written, and none of the pages were fluff pieces. I have learned from my mistake, and I assure you it won’t happen again. It's a learning process, I understand that, but it'd be devastating to have something that's such a large part of my life removed without having been warned before. Please give me a chance. SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 08:32, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

As a disinterested observer, I don't have any problems with SerAntoni's work. He's been diplomatic, open to criticism, and responsive. Cut him a break. Jax MN (talk) 21:40, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Unfortunately the Wikimedia Terms of Use does have a problem with his work, and that is not something we can wave away. – Joe (talk) 08:35, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry but you have not been adhering to the rules. You're mistaken if you think that writing about your relatives, people and organisations you work with, or want to work with, is not a conflict of interest. You're mistaken if you think transactions involving "a few hundred pounds" ("pocket money"?) don't count as paid editing. You should not have touched any of these pages. If you insisted on doing so, you should have followed the guidelines at WP:COIEDIT, including prior disclosure and refraining from direct edits. I'm sorry if you think I'm being harsh, but I'm telling you this because you seem to want to return to editing and you will need to understand these rules and commit to following them if that is to happen. – Joe (talk) 08:33, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

I have fully understood. I was young when I started, I hadn’t read the rules, and made an error.

I’ve now understood very clearly what constitutes paid editing, and that I should stay far clear from accepting any thanks or rewards, and that I will never again even go close to anything that could be deemed a COI, for which the definition I have now read and clearly understood. It’s black and white for me now, and that’s how I’ll keep it. SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 08:59, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Joe Roe. I’ve 100% understood the errors I made, and I now fully understand how I need to navigate these. I will be glad to add any and all required disclosures to the handful of pages relevant, now that I am aware how to manage this. Given my passion for wikipedia editing, and my large body of faultless work compared to the few mistakes I made, I would be greatly appreciative if I could be given the opportunity to make amends here? Is there a path forward? Cheers. SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 16:09, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:

I’m submitting this unblock request after a long and very helpful discussion with Joe Roe on my talk page. Reading through it might provide some helpful background to my request.

I’ve understood very clearly the mistake I made in soliciting paid editing, and those I made regarding conflicts of interest. I was just 13 when I started my Wikipedia editing journey, I hadn’t properly read the rules, and I made an error. The handful of contentious pages were a mistake, and a misunderstanding on my part of what paid editing and COI management constituted. I’ve now understood what I did wrong, and it won’t happen again.

I’ve been editing on Wikipedia for a long time now. I’ve published over 100 well-researched and impeccably written pages, and had a set of good-articles too. I would be greatly appreciative if I were given the opportunity to make amends here. I understand where I have erred, and I hope my mistakes and misunderstandings on these handful of pages do not counter the many well-cited pages that I have poured thousands of hours into. I understand the rules like black-and-white now, and that’s how I’ll keep it. SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 22:03, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Your wikilawyering above about how you don't actually have any COIs and haven't really been paid lead me think that you can't be trusted. If your interpretations of policy are that loose, you're unlikely to follow our policies. And if you think there's nothing wrong with the articles you've been creating, you're likely to continue making them without any disclosure. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:33, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

@NinjaRobotPirate Not sure if my message came off entirely right. My intention was to emphasise that I have understood where I have gone wrong here. That I absolutely do understand that paid editing is detrimental to a what Wikipedia tries to be. That I understand the mistake I’ve made with going down that path, and that I will not stray down that path again. That I’d like to add conflict notices to the pages that are contentious, because this editing is now black and white to me.

I’ve volunteered thousands of hours in the past, and written a very broad range of pages. I’ve got quite a lot of them on my user page – a testament to the pride I have in this work. I’m trying to counter this block not with malicious intentions, but because I still feel I have much more to add. Please give me another chance. I've learned from my mistakes.SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 08:06, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Latymer Upper School coat of arms 2020 –.png

Thanks for uploading File:Latymer Upper School coat of arms 2020 –.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free 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 non-free 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:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file's talk 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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:35, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
