World Runners Association disruption moved to other articles[edit]

Hi C.Fred, the disruption has moved to Russ Cook and Project Africa. mostly by an IP who is adding their own commentary to the articles (ex. [1] and [2]). Can you please watchlist them and keep an eye out? S0091 (talk) 17:34, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@S0091 The Cook article had made my radar; Project Africa is on it now. —C.Fred (talk) 02:14, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of an addition to Franklyn Harvey's Wikipedia page on 24 February 2024[edit]

I was surprised as the de-facto executor of Franklyn Harvey's estate to discover the other day that you have deleted my catalogue of contributions Franklyn made under the Publications heading of his page without notifying me. You seem to have implied that they were not sourced. Yet you have not removed two of the three publications above my addition which do not have links and therefore presumably "not sourced". I have copies of all of these referred works/contracts and many of them are already stored in the archives of Concordia University in Montreal. They are not digitized and not online and I don't believe the organizations he worked with would necessarily want their internal documents made public. The list is an effort to demonstrate the broad impact Franklyn had on a wide range of NGOs and was taken from a copy of his resume that he distributed while working as a consultant. I have added the list again and would ask that if you are going to delete them you at least advise me of your action and suggest why you are taking such action. Bthomson (talk) 16:33, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bthomson Wikipedia is not a CV. We do not need a catalogue of community consulting projects that Harvey undertook. Further, if the projects were not written about in independent sources, they may not be significantly notable to be included. Finally, thank you for declaring your conflict of interest with Harvey; based on that, you should refrain from directly editing the article. —C.Fred (talk) 19:32, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So as the holder of Franklyn's library and historical work I am not eligible to make his contributions to world development public? Bthomson (talk) 20:33, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly not. That is not the purpose of Wikipedia. We aspire to be a compilation of published information from impartial reliable sources unrelated to the subject of the article. (That is not "Franklyn Harvey's Wikipedia page" but rather an article in Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia, about Franklyn Harvey.) "an effort to demonstrate the broad impact Franklyn had on a wide range of NGOs" is pretty much a taxtbook example of the kind of promotion which has no place here, no matter how admirable you deem his contributions to have been.--Orange Mike | Talk 20:55, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gurdeep Singh Deepa[edit]

Hi Can you explain the reason for restoring this source here . It looks lika a Self published book, which failed to verify the information provided. Regards Sid95Q (talk) 10:27, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sid95Q The appearance was the article was undergoing death by 1,000 paper cuts. Had your explanation of a self-published source been in an edit summary, I'd have left your edit intact; without that context, it looked like part of the pattern of what was going on last night. As a result of your explanation, I have re-removed the source. —C.Fred (talk) 10:53, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request action[edit]

An editor you recently warned (Wicorbottt) posted material that contained personal information about me. It's been oversighted (love those guys) but I'd appreciate some sort of action being taken. ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:36, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion of Utah Historical State Flag Image[edit]

Regarding the question of the ratio of 5:8 vs. 3:5, the long-standing dimensions of the Historical State Flag are 5:8. The new 'Beehive Flag', which is now the primary State Flag is a 3:5 ratio. The UT State Code does not specify this, but these are the actual ratios used which are commercially produced. The previous versions of this page never cited the ratio.

Please revert your edit.
