Your draft article, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Dr K Ravvi Kumarr

Hello Lexein. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Dr K Ravvi Kumarr".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Dr K Ravvi Kumarr}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save page", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 12:51, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

It has been deleted now, so I'm not sure who the original author was... Sorry for any inconvenience JMHamo (talk) 17:09, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

McKinsey & Company

Hi Lexein. I was wondering if you had the time/interest to collaborate on this article with me. I am acting in my usual COI role. I've been working on it top-down, but it's gotten to a point where it needs a lot of cleanup and re-structuring for me to keep going (the next section is a dedicated Clients section that needs to be removed entirely). I've submitted a bunch of edits and I'm afraid it's a little bit of a scary list to go through, but it's largely just cleaning out all the unsourced junk and whatnot.

Archive.is debate

Hi, there is an ongoing discussion at the moment at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive261#Archive.is headache. Maybe you are interested to join it. Thanks. —  Ark25  (talk) 18:59, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

McKinsey & Company

Hi Lexein. A couple weeks ago I pinged you asking for help considering my Requested Edits on an article where I have a COI. I've been pinging quite a few folks, but as of today am still looking for someone to consider the last five remaining requests in a large set of items to cleanup unsourced or trivial info, etc. I was wondering if you had the time to take a look?

templates : RSS and Atom field restoration

cc: Quiddity, Lexein :
There was a proposal at Wikipedia talk:External links#Proposal to remove the RSS and Atom fields from infoboxes, that involves Infobox_podcast template (and 2 others) circa 15 May 2010. No discussion here or there. It went to archive 29 unclosed, and before any number of editors responded.

"RSS" and "Atom" fields should be restored to the 3 infoboxes that use them, because:
WP:ELOFFICIAL's principle of non-duplication does not hold for many cases where the RSS feed is not linked to by any page on the podcast website, the opposite case for video podcasts with many encodings conflicts with this (in this case such websites usually have an RSS list page).
WP:ELNO#EL9 - "Links to any search results pages", RSS feeds are not dynamic searches
WP:CITECONSENSUS and WP:CITEVAR - "Because templates can be contentious, editors should not add citation templates, or change an article with a consistent citation format to another, without gaining consensus"
Consensus was not obtained.

Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 June 1#Archive.is

Hi Lexein. I have taken User:Lexein/archive.today, your draft for Archive.is, to Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 June 1#Archive.is, asking the community to restore the article. Cunard (talk) 00:35, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Hm. I wouldn't hold my breath. In fact, due to the high admin emotions till swirling around unproven accusations regarding Archive.is, the boomerang effect is likely to have my stash deleted. I'll archive it elsewhere. Thanks for the heads up. --Lexein (talk) 13:36, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 June 1#Archive.is was closed as "recreation allowed", so hopefully the high admin emotions have died down. I took this to AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Archive.is (2nd nomination) to allow for further discussion of the sources since a DRV participant wrote "Either relist or do not allow recreation".

User:PleaseStand/Hide Vector sidebar

Over at Wikipedia:Scripts, you posted:

Wanted: a script to minimize/show the lefthand sidebar, and recover the space for the displayed article. "Minimizing" replaces the sidebar with a left-margin 4-em-wide blank gray bar. Mousing over the bar shows the full sidebar, mousing away from the sidebar hides it. This is similar to the Feedly app for browsers; show/hide only operates when the page is zoomed in (ctrl-+). Screengrabs @Imgur.com. --Lexein (talk) 19:54, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

See User:PleaseStand/Hide Vector sidebar. It uses ⇧ Shift+Alt+a as the toggle key to show/hide the sidebar. The Transhumanist 09:38, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
Thanks! That's a win. How'd you happen across that/hunt that down? Lexein (talk) 09:32, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you

File:Magritte TheSonOfMan.jpg Thank you for reverting to my "True Color" image
Thank you for reverting to a reduced image size that is based on my original file.

I have invested a lot of work in quite a few Wikipedia images, making them "True Color", such that everyone with a calibrated monitor that conforms to the sRGB color profile can see the images in colors that best reflect what the images really look like and what the artist intended it to look like.

On occasion, users like to upload new versions of the images, for whatever reasons they have for wanting to replace my uploaded versions, and by doing so they (inadvertently) destroy the results of my efforts. Shimon Yanowitz (talk) 17:45, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:COSIClogo.jpg

⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:COSIClogo.jpg. 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. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. 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. --B-bot (talk) 17:23, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

User:Isingness

Given the report on AIV, and referring to WP:NOBAN, I can't help but revert your edit to Isingness's userpage. --Cahk (talk) 07:37, 31 March 2018 (UTC) But you didn't revert,isingness did, oh well, whatever.Lexein (talk) 07:45, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Yes, Cahk did revert it - you can see it here. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:45, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

I've been away a long time

And some procedural stuff has vanished from my memory. Oops, sorry.Lexein (talk) 21:31, 1 April 2018 (UTC) Lexein (talk) 21:31, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

When I look at [[en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opencola_(company)] i see a complete reference section now, because I added it. What about that? You're just wrong to claim that I added the wrong template. Lexein (talk) 21:42, 1 April 2018 (UTC) Lexein (talk) 21:42, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

No personal attacks

Be warned, you are treading on dangerous ground with your personal attacks on User:Isingness. Firstly, you accused them of removing a References section from an article they nominated for deletion, which they clearly did not do. You labeled them "deletionist scum" when you, in fact, added a second References section (see below). You also accused them of "transparent fraud" and "disgusting behaviour" over it, over something they had not done. You then added a deletionist userbox to their user page with a disparaging edit summary. All of this is totally unacceptable, and you will be blocked if I see any more of it. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:37, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

  • Actually, I've just realised that you did not, in fact, add a second References section - what you did was add the {{References}} template which adds a notice saying "This article does not cite any sources." Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:52, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

What are you talking about? A References template adds a references section, not a notice. Look again. Lexein (talk) 21:46, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

  • just to be clear, I don't like deletionists one bit, and never have. LOOKING WITH THE chrome browser I can't see ANY evidence of a stated reason for deletion that you claim exists. WHERE IS IT? Lexein (talk) 21:52, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
