Paid editing

Hi BiH, I notice that despite being informed by more than one editor [1] [2] (etc) that the new Terms Of Use require all paid editing to be disclosed, you haven't disclosed any. Carter Hargrave Electronic Recycling Association have been deleted, and I noticed that you have many new articles and userspace drafts e.g. User:BiH/Workshop10 User:BiH/Workshop20 etc. Which of these are paid please? Widefox; talk 00:58, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

If the project is paid, I will dislose it properly per my statement here --BiH (talk) 06:29, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Great. So which of those articles above, the drafts and the new articles like AdSparx are paid? Widefox; talk 13:29, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

In summary, you are not going to disclose 1. when asked, 2. before the articles are in mainspace, or 3. openly disclosing which drafts are? Widefox; talk 13:40, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Widefox: Which policy states that user draft must be disclosed? Please enlighten me, since I am not aware of its existence. If you are right, I will apologize immediately and will do the necessary work. I was discussing the issue with the corresponding admin you mentioned above, and he explained me that all paid contributions must be disclosed in the respecting talk pages. Once such article is published to the main space, it will be disclosed if needed. Please stop WP:HUNTing me and read a bit of WP:ETIQ. Thank you. --BiH (talk) 14:05, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Have you even disclosed any yet? Was Carter Hargrave or Electronic Recycling Association paid? Do you think you will get more scrutiny if you openly disclose or less? Dragging this out just invites more scrutiny when only you know what is paid and what isn't. "disclosed if needed" doesn't seems the spirit of the TOU to me. As you don't disagree with the summary, there's no point in discussing further about it, your risk. Widefox; talk 14:31, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Deletion issue

Hello, BiH/Archives/2015. You have new messages at ceyockey's talk page. -- 00:18, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

January 2015

This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You have not disclosed your paid editing when asked, or on a range of articles. Disclosing after the fact does not seem to be the spirit of the TOU. If you disagree, I suggest you take this up at COIN or ANI. Widefox; talk 13:46, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Abdullahi Umar Ganduje

I have to say, that was a spectacularly bad A7 nomination. The article states that the subject is the deputy governor of a Nigerian state. In what way could that possibly quality for A7? -- Y not? 16:50, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Y: I am really sorry about that, I see now that I was mistaken. There was a wave of spam article creations in the moment I was patrolling the feed, so I must have done that in the hurry. I will look closely in the future. Thanks and sorry again. --BiH (talk) 17:41, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Thanks for reviewing Maureen Cormack, BiH.

Unfortunately Altamel has just gone over this page again and unreviewed it. Their note is:

{{{3}}}

To reply, leave a comment on Altamel's talk page.

Sorry, it seems like Page Curation went kaput yet again. Anyway, Maureen Cormack was basically all copyvio from [3] so I unreviewed it. I left the article author a note. Altamel (talk) 05:12, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Global account

Hi BiH! As a Steward I'm involved in the upcoming unification of all accounts organized by the Wikimedia Foundation (see m:Single User Login finalisation announcement). By looking at your account, I realized that you don't have a global account yet. In order to secure your name, I recommend you to create such account on your own by submitting your password on Special:MergeAccount and unifying your local accounts. If you have any problems with doing that or further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Cheers, —DerHexer (Talk) 11:01, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

DerHexer: Hi and thanks for your message. I have issues with FR and HR accounts. They are mine 100%, but it seems that I chose different password for them, the one I can't remember. I am not recognized by FR wiki at all, while I can request password recovery on HR, but I never receive email for password change. The other accounts are fine and working. Any thoughts? Thanks. --BiH (talk) 14:01, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

I've usurped the frwiki account with no visible edit following the m:Usurpation policy. Unfortunately, the hrwiki account a completely different email address set so that we cannot connect it with your global account. If you cannot set a new password which you would also submit on Special:MergeAccount, it will be automatically usurped during SUL finalization till April 2015 by the Wikimedia Foundation. Cheers, —DerHexer (Talk) 01:45, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

• I'm just giving a head's up. I decided that it'd be best served as a second AfD so we can say that the new sources were taken into consideration. The prior AfD focused mainly on the cow/Barnyard stuff and the promotional-ness, so I figure that this would give it a legitimate second chance at survival.

Your speedy deletion nomination of জয় মা মনসা

You recently tagged জয় মা মনসা with a G1 criteria. I would like to inform you that I have declined the tag because the content is in Bengali language, and is not patent nonsense, as the criteria explicitly states. I have, however tagged the article with multiple issues and listed it in Pages needing translation into English. Thank you. Ethically^Yours! 06:36, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

@Ethically Yours:: Thank you for informing me. Google Translate obviously misguided me. --BiH (talk) 06:40, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

A cookie for you!

For your helpful work at NPP, here's a cookie to you. EthicallyYours! 06:44, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

A cupcake for you!

Sorry. Hafspajen (talk) 19:18, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Could you

• PLEASE leave a message before moving things. You destroyed half om my work by edit conflicting me in MY private userspace ... Hafspajen (talk) 16:49, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

@Hafspajen:: I am so sorry, but you had all your work in the field below the main editing field. All you had to do is copy-paste. Nevertheless, I am sorry once more. --BiH (talk) 17:15, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

OK. No worries. Was a bit surprised to get an edit conflict, never thought about it. Usually save work much more often... But I managed to save it somehow anyway, so no big deal. I am sure you meant to help. Sorry about sounding harsh. Hafspajen (talk) 17:32, 24 January 2015 (UTC).

@Hafspajen:: No worries, mate.. All good here ;) Good luck and have a nice day/night :D --BiH (talk) 22:10, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
