== Ways to improve Wikipedia Western Canada Select ==

Hi, I'm Athulbnair. Oceanflynn, thanks for creating [[Western Canadian Select]]!

I've just tagged the page, using our [[Wikipedia:Page Curation/Help|page curation]] tools, as having some issues to fix. Title of the page too has to be considered as mentioned in the talk page of the article.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on [[User talk:Athulbnair|my talk page]]. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at [[WP:TEAHOUSE|the Teahouse]].  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|undated]] comment added 17:45, 13 January 2013 (UTC)</span><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

=== Enbridge ===
Hi Oceanflynn, I have looked over your edits to the Enbridge article and you have added some good citations and provided some valuable data such as the amount of financial subsidies which have gone into the fuel cell project, but I am also concerned that you have deleted quite a lot of material, some with no real reason. Would you mind reverting it to how it was and reinserting some of the material you have come up with so that we maintain a bit more detail and article structure please? I am worried that if you do not do that another editor will simply revert all you have done and we will lose the information you have provided. [[User:Djapa84|    Djapa Owen]] ([[User talk:Djapa84|talk]]) 02:33, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Djapa84, Do you mean this phrase:  "as well as [[Sustainable energy|green energy]]." I removed after reading that the fuel cell project was not a success, all the links I could find on green energy were only from Enbridge. I couldn't find any articles that referred to operational green energy. There was one CBC article about another announcement of a joint venture but nothing operational. Put it back if you want to but it would be better to have some other sources besides Enbridge, don't you think. 

I also removed "The hybrid fuel cell power plants that are involved propose to generate electricity that will be delivered to wholesale grids." because once I had found the sources and realized it was not a success, it seemed unnecessary. If you can find a source and you think it is still useful, let's put it back. 

I rarely delete other people's edits. I try to work them in to any revisions. I moved a lot of my own edits around so maybe that looked like deletions? I'm fairly detached about the editing process. Anything that improves an article is fine by me. Thanks, oceanflynn 03:48, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

I have looked over the entire edit series and take back what I said. Good work. (Although the lameness of saying they took part in a clean air commute alongside all their spills etc. did have a certain poetic air to it. Kind of Orwellian.)[[User:Djapa84|    Djapa Owen]] ([[User talk:Djapa84|talk]]) 04:06, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Djapa84, Actually I left the sentence, "In 2007 Enbridge employees in the Toronto area participated in Pollution Probe's "Clean Air Commute," where they were encouraged to use alternate forms of transportation to get to work.[36]" but I put it at the end of the article. I didn't know where else to put it. Thanks. oceanflynn 04:12, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

==Hwy43 messages==

:Hi Hwy43, Thank you for editing wikipedia. Your contributions are appreciated. 

In response to your comment regarding additions to [[:Peace–Athabasca Delta]] 

Three solid sources with quotations were used to add to this article. 

In the wikipedia page entitled "Copyrighted material and fair use" the use of quoting with attributions is acceptable. It is not a copyright violation. 

The following quote is from that page,  

"When copyrighted text must be quoted, see the plagiarism and non-free content guidelines. Extensive quotation of copyrighted text is prohibited.

Although quoting involves copying of another's work without permission, it is generally considered one of the uses permitted under fair use in the United States. However, just as with fair-use images, fair-use quotation has limitations:

The copied material should not comprise a substantial portion of the work being quoted, and a longer quotation should not be used where a shorter quotation would express the same information. What constitutes a substantial portion depends on many factors, such as the length of the original work and how central the quoted text is to that work. In one extreme case, Harper & Row v. Nation Enterprises, 400 quoted words from a 500-page book were ruled to be infringement.[3] Editors are advised to exercise good judgment and to remain mindful of the fact that while brief excerpts are permitted by policy, extensive quotations are forbidden.
The quotation must be useful and aid understanding of the subject; irrelevant quotations should be removed.
All quotations must be attributed to their source.

Unlike fair-use images, quotations are permitted on talk pages and project pages where they are useful for discussion, but the requirements listed above should still be observed.

A special case is the use of quotations purely for interest or decorative purposes on user pages. By consensus such quotations are acceptable as long as they are limited in extent, particularly if they comment on the attitudes of the user in question; but because the claim of fair use is weaker, the restrictions on extent must be more strictly enforced.

Fair use does not need to be invoked for public domain works or text available under a CC-By-SA-compatible free license, so in such cases the extent of quotations is simply a matter of style." [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Quotations quotations]

It is obvious from the amount of time I take to manually input detailed references including author1, author2, ref name="", etc that robust and detailed references are crucial my way of working. In many of the articles I edit I use the "cite Harvard template" so I can add exact pages to references. When facts are stated without any sources, it makes it more difficult for students, for example, or anyone doing research, to follow through by reading the original references. 

My additions may be an overuse of quotations where I used 3 sentences in quotation marks from one source. It is not a deliberate act of copyright violation.oceanflynn

My additions:


:"The Peace-Athabasca Delta region is the part of [[Lake Athabasca]] that is most important to wildlife. The delta is one of North America's last relatively undisturbed deltas and is unique because it is situated on all four of the continent's major flyways.

:Hwy43
Thanks Hwy43. I've looked up your work and contributions. Very impressive. I've redesigned my talk page based on yours using archives. Mine had become so cluttered. I redid my user page from its 2006 out-of-date page. I've used it as a space for keeping track of shortcuts, etc. as you did. I didn't know we had access to these subpages like archives. Tidy. oceanflynn 19:38, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

:[[Beaver Lake Cree Nation]]: Regarding [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Beaver_Lake_Cree_Nation&diff=572980539&oldid=569162348 this], I suggest abandoning the complex and convoluted citation method used at [[Mary Anning]] for the above article. It is overkill in my opinion. Rather, I suggest using the more simple and adequately satisfactory [[Template:Citation]] method used in nearly all First Nation and Canadian community articles. [[User:Hwy43|Hwy43]] ([[User talk:Hwy43|talk]]) 19:47, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

:Thanks Hwy43. I need to use the more detailed templates in order to have page numbers and more efficient access to dates without lengthy repetitions of referenced materials. Numerous featured articles use the sfn, harv etc. A lot of the content I use is not just on one web page or url. It takes a lot of effort to use exact page numbers but it is crucial in finding an exact citation reference for retrieval. In earlier stages of wiki life long learning, I have had my own manually (Author date:page number) removed from articles because they were seen as cluttered or not wikified, losing valuable nformation. Knowing a date, or statistic or quote comes from a report or thesis doesn't help much if you want to confirm it, unless the page number is indicated. Also I would like to see dates in time-sensitive article texts more often. 

:[[User:Hwy43|Hwy43]] ([[User talk:Hwy43|talk]]) was right. In 2013 in order to have page numbers for each citation when available and to have a reference list in alphabetical order, I began to use a "convoluted" and "exotic" citation method" using Sfn. Then I found the rp|16 page reference page template, so elegant and efficient. I realized that as I tried to insert content from one article to a related article, finding the full reference using the {{tl|sfnRef}} template, was more work than it was worth. At some point I also began to use ProveIt. I even revisited some of my older edits and replaced the more {{tl|sfnRef}} with the simpler, and "adequately satisfactory [[Template:Citation]]."

Agree its important but want to think long term and getting its coverage placed in a good long-term spot with multiple links (see also) that point to it. 
[[User:Rjlabs|Rick]] ([[User talk:Rjlabs|talk]]) 02:13, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi Rick, You've contributed some very valuable editing to wikipedia and your user page has lots of useful tips. I am also intrigued by mind-mapping tools and would really like to see more wikipedia applications in terms of Risk Management, Financial Instruments, etc. Their rhizomic interconnections do not fit well into tables. 

I agree with you that ERNs deserves an article in the long term. I think there will continue to be robust reference resources on ERNs available with different points of view. I added the content to the [[Systemically important financial institution]] article in its own anchored section [[Systemically important financial institution#Market-based_bank_capital_regulation_ERNs|Equity Recourse Notes]] with a future Equity Resource Notes article in mind. There were other options, such as [[Convertible bond]], where it logically belongs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book:Financial_Derivatives, but ''Convertible bond'' has an editorial technical alert, only one reference. The ''Convertible bond'' article is not as strong an article as ''Systemically important financial institution'' which also has very good coverage with a 90-day page view of over 5000. 

I might work on one or two of the following as time permits but I am quite detached from my contributions and other editors may disagree. 
*Add ERNs as subsection to the [[Convertible bond]] article. 
*Leave ERNs content on the SIFI article with more editing.
*Start a ERNs separate article
*CoCos redirect to the [[Convertible bond]] subsection
*Create multiple links 

Thanks again for your helpful feedback.oceanflynn 14:30, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

==SfnRef versus standard reference template==
I received some great tips from [[User:Diannaa|Diannaa]], a librarian as well as a wiki editor, and I will be working on cleaning up the broken templates.oceanflynn 23:03, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

------------- 

: Hi there Oceanflynn. I have done some corrections to the system as examples. The Author names have to be in the format | first=  | last = for the system to pick it up. If there's multiple authors, all have to be listed. If the author name or publication date is unknown, you have to specify exactly how you are listing the citation using the {{tl|sfnRef}} template. I have done some fixes as examples. My preference is to use the {{tl|sfn}} template over the {harvnb}, because it automatically collates identical citations, and the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags are not needed. There's a fact sheet at[[User:Diannaa/Citation templates]] to help you get started. I will now convert a couple citations to {sfn} so that you can see the difference. --[[User:Diannaa|Diannaa]] ([[User talk:Diannaa|talk]]) 20:47, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

: Now you can see how the harvnb and the sfn templates compare. Please let me know if you want to go with the sfn template as I have done lots of this stuff and can help you get it converted quite quickly. I will fix some more harv errors now -- [[User:Diannaa|Diannaa]] ([[User talk:Diannaa|talk]]) 20:58, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi Dianna, I would like to learn more about the sfn template, particularly how to convert it quickly. Where do I begin? I have been editing quite a bit so I have a number of harv and harbnb to correct. I am so pleased to meet you. Is it possible for some references to continue to use <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, where they are either already in the article or after starting to use the {{tl|sfnRef}} template, another editor, just prefers them? When you have both, it seems to make a mess of all the references. oceanflynn 23:36, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

==Britney Spears article as an example of an article using harv template==
Thanks for drawing my attention to the efficient referencing in the [[Britney Spears]] article. That helps a lot. I noticed there is a <nowiki>==Bibliography==</nowiki> and a <nowiki>==References==</nowiki>. That must answer my question above?  oceanflynn 23:54, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

== Reindeer vs Caribou COI problem ==

Due to your COI regarding this topic, I have reverted your edits (many deletions) at the [[Reindeer]] article, and will restore the good edits which occurred during that time later on. I suggest you refrain from deleting any content or doing anything which could be interpreted as favoring your competing [[Caribou]] article. I AGF that you had no ill intentions. This does not keep you from making article improvements or gnomish edits. -- [[User:BullRangifer|Brangifer]] ([[User talk:BullRangifer|talk]]) 23:20, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
::Which of the edits favoured the article [[Caribou]]? I removed the section entitled '''Bibliography''' because there was only one item in it which was already in the references. I believe I created that section at one time and put that item in myself. You had commented that the references were a mess and I was trying to tidy them up, particularly any items that I had edited in originally. I removed the section entitled '''Caribou-specific links (North America)''' and copied and pasted the three items in that section to the general '''External Links''' section to declutter. Just as you spent a lot of time creating and contributing to the article [[Reindeer hunting in Greenland]], I have spent a lot of time creating and contributing to the article [[Caribou (North America)]]. Problems arose when it was renamed simply [[Caribou]] by another editor. This article on reindeer was criticized for being too North American centric and I have been editing it ever since to add new content and references that are not North America centric and removing those that are to the article [[Caribou (North America)]]. Suggestions have been made on the Caribou talk page that elements from the [[Reindeer]] article have been copied from it. In most cased I wrote the original copied material and have been re-editing it in both articles so the content reflects the North American context or the Eurasian context. I don't think this is a COI issue since I am quite open about the intentions. Is there a problem with the caption on the image you use in your [[Reindeer hunting in Greenland]]? The photo of a porcupine caribou or Grant's caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti) taken by Dean Biggins of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Alaska is by far one of the best photos of caribou I have seen. But you use this image in an article about barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) in [[Reindeer hunting in Greenland]] with no reference to Alaska. I think this is the issue. Caribou refer to only a small number of subspecies and a number of ecotypes in North America. Reindeer refer to other subspecies and ecotypes in Eurasia. If we don't caption images carefully the content becomes confused. When someone has just read an article about caribou they should not be diverted to an article about reindeer. In the Inuit Circumpolar Conference they use both terms reindeer and caribou, depending on the country discussed. There is room in Wikipedia for two articles.[[User:Oceanflynn|Oceanflynn]] ([[User talk:Oceanflynn|talk]]) [[User:Oceanflynn|Oceanflynn]] ([[User talk:Oceanflynn#top|talk]]) 00:25, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

You seem to be cross posting text saying geothermal heat flux is responsible for the Yamal permafrost melting.

;;Intellectual Property article

For what it is worth, I suggest you slow down on this.  The matter you added on  NCoV virus has nothing to do with actual intellectual property nor its enforcement -- it is worry over what might happen.  It is no kind of actual "case study" much less a "challenging" one.  Likewise, the work on H5N1 has nothing to do with intellectual property -- that has everything to do with a conflict between academic freedom and security (ultimately, national security in the country where the work was done).  That too should be deleted from this article.   A "challenging case study" might be something like the Myriad case, where there is actual conflict over intellectual property.   The content you have added is interesting and nicely sourced and should go somewhere in Wikipedia.  It just doesn't belong in this article.

Hi Oceanflynn.  So you are clearly worked up about the cost of [[orphan drugs]].  Cost is an issue, but the content you are writing is, to be frank, relentlessly POV that the cost is a bad thing.   Please try to write NPOV content - you are not thinking at all, about the fact that orphan drug laws have been passed because ... people die, in terrible ways, often as children, with no options. There are legit concerns, and there is no doubt that pharma has folllowed [[Genzyme]]'s model in a big way which raises questions about the cost to society.  But please try to edit in a NPOV way.  Thanks. [[User:Jytdog|Jytdog]] ([[User talk:Jytdog|talk]]) 16:21, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jytdog, 
Thanks for following my additions to articles related to orphan drugs. I have recently added orphan drugs to my list of topics I follow and contribute to in Wikipedia and will continue to do so. When I choose a topic, I invest in it until I feel I have covered as much content as I can at any given time with the time resources available to me. I watch for updates and changes over the years. Like any seasoned researcher I use robust sources that are fully referenced. I also add as many perspectives as possible when reliable resources are available. I have access to academic peer-reviewed discipline-based journals and I comfortably read across a number of disciplines thanks to formal education. Every topic has a multiple dimensions including but not excluded to social, economic, financial, ecological, historical, ethical, legal, cultural... This includes topics in the field of medicine. While aspects of the science may move more slowly, these dimensions can change constantly and their inclusion and recording is part of a holistic, complete article and will not be included in discipline-centred scientific or medical journals for example. One of the roles of Wikipedia is to record history-in-the-making. We don't need to wait until it is in the history books before including unfolding stories. When an issue related to any field— whether it is medicine or ecology— is going through changes not covered in its own specific scientific literature, it is incumbent upon serious editors to reveal as much as possible by editing in and citing solid content from robust sources. I have learned through my 10,000+ edits contributed through the years to depend on content in peer-reviewed discipline-based journals and in publications such as The Economist, the New York Times, CBC, BBC, federal, provincial/state government and/or municipal Hansards, etc, reports, departmental reviews, international NGOs, major banks reports by their economists, Forbes, Bloomberg, scientific reports commissioned by governments and major NGOs among others When available on a given topic, I read and access Phd dissertations, MA theses etc (preferably the more recent) for their bibliographies. I read full reports when available online to follow-up on stories headlined in The Economist, or the NYT for example. 

I have noticed in the hundreds of articles I have worked on that there are always a few that are overseen by a small group of assertive editors who are unwelcoming to editors who are not in their "group." I prefer to leave these articles alone and create new ones that allow the full content with citations to be added. 

Now that I have taken an interest in the unfolding of the story of orphan drugs, I will find ways to add content as it becomes available to Wikipedia. I consider my Wikipedia editing to be successful when I have no messages in my talk pages because I work hard to follow all Wikipedia guidelines and to optimize use and constantly improve my use of Wikipedia tools. Recently I spent hours cleaning up dozens of references in another WikiProject Medicine article that had been added by another editor who did not know how to use the |authors= or |first=, |last= in the citation template. Instead of thanks I received a message about the validity of these sources, all peer-reviewed citations. However, the editor did such a fine job of cleaning up the article that I was grateful. The end result was a much improved article on a topic that is currently widely in the news and will continue to be for some time. 

I have no problem with my content being edited removed if the team deems it to be someway inappropriate and there is a solid academic argument for its removal.[[User:Oceanflynn|Oceanflynn]] ([[User talk:Oceanflynn|talk]]) 14:59, 29 June 2015 (UTC) 

In regards to the material based on the 2014 Evaluate Pharma publication<ref name="EvaluatePharma_2014">{{citation |url=http://info.evaluategroup.com/rs/evaluatepharmaltd/images/2014OD.pdf |format=PDF |first=Andreas |last=Hadjivasiliou|title=Orphan Drug Report 2014 |date=October 2014 |work=EvaluatePharma |accessdate=28 June 2015}}</ref> any removal of the content would require a rebuttal with full citations for each point argued by Hadjivasiliou. If you do a very basic Google scholar search for orphan drugs you will find that the economic challenges mentioned above are listed as issues of concern to policy-makers globally and they will only become intensified. This deserves a space in a well-rounded Wikipedia article.

==Category:Life sciences industry ==
 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Life_sciences_industry Category:Life sciences industry]
Hi, before today, I had never heard the term "Life science industry" (now corrected to "Life sciences industry". I guess you are talking about the biotechnology industry. In any case, you have been adding this cat to a number of articles where it clearly doesn't belong. Up till now, I have removed it from several academic journal articles and most recently from the article [[pharmacogenomics]]. If a field of scientific endeavor like that belongs in this cat, then any article from [[biology]] to [[molecular genetics]] and [[botany]] would fall into this cat. I suggest you re-think the name of this cat and what it is about, because this doesn't work. --[[User:Randykitty|Randykitty]] ([[User talk:Randykitty|talk]]) 18:37, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

:Thanks [[User:Randykitty|Randykitty]] ([[User talk:Randykitty|talk]]). I was appreciative of the corrections including the proper term and the erroneous additions. I made changes you suggested. I changed the Commons category to Industries as it is the industry aspect, not the science, that is the focus of this category. I experimented with different portals to find its umbrella. From the literature I understood that "Life sciences industry" would be more inclusive than "Biotechnology industry."[[User:Oceanflynn|Oceanflynn]] ([[User talk:Oceanflynn#top|talk]]) 19:01, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Big thanks from the group in Toronto last night for your virtual participation!  Great work on [[Joanne Tod]]!! [[User:Artchivist1|Artchivist1]] ([[User talk:Artchivist1|talk]]) 14:49, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

:Thank you [[User:Artchivist1|Artchivist1]] ([[User talk:Artchivist1|talk]]) for organizing the event. I hope you had pizza and fun. I worked as contract art educator at the NGC for a decade and spent many hours with "See the Rushes." Tod deserved an article. I created a talk page for her article which includes a bibliography that has not been incorporated into her article. Would the AGO and/or NGC consider asking Tod for permission to make photos available with a Creative Commons license so they can be included in Wikimedia and therefore the article? 

I hope the new editors felt welcomed. I appreciate the way Wikipedia works with many editors correcting and improving articles. But for someone just starting it may be off-putting to have huge notices on your edits. It isn't personal and over time they will learn how to avoid them. I use the lack of comments, deletions and corrections as an indicator of progress. I can add some of the missing references to some of these articles to get the more glaring messages removed.[[User:Oceanflynn|Oceanflynn]] ([[User talk:Oceanflynn#top|talk]]) 15:06, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

== Paraphrasing ==

Your edits look constructive and propertly cited, e.g., [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pharmacy_benefit_management&diff=688469503&oldid=688468468].  But they need to be paraphrased to avoid copyright concerns, [https://tools.wmflabs.org/eranbot/ithenticate.py?rid=19951930].--[[User:Lucas559|Lucas559]] ([[User talk:Lucas559|talk]]) 18:17, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

: Thanks -[[User:Lucas559|Lucas559]] ([[User talk:Lucas559|talk]]) You are right that content in the article [[Pharmacy benefit management]] needs to be revisited, inline citations from original sources added and lots of paraphrasing to be done. However, I am not the editor or editors who added the questionable material you mentioned in the section covering litigation over PBM practices in 2004. This content, that seems to be plagiarized, has been in the article since at least January 17, 2014. My edits were done from November 1 to November 5, 2015. I found the direct quote in this 2008 publication and I added the quotes and the inline citation with page number using ProveIt.<ref name="Reasonable_Rx_2008">{{cite book|title=Reasonable Rx: Solving the Drug Price Crisis |author1=Stan Finkelstein |author2=Peter Temin |work=FT Press |location=Upper Saddle River, New Jersey, USA |date=2008 |pages=208 |isbn=978-0-132344494 |accessdate=31 October 2015}}</ref>{{rp|53}}

::Medco also "paid Massachusetts $5.5 million to settle allegations that the company pocketed millions of dollars in rebates from drug companies that should have been passed down to the state."

In November 2015 I was concerned about the lack of inline citations in this article in general so I searched for sources and added the quotation marks and references where I could find them. I am pleased that Ithenticate did such a good job in finding the cut-and-paste but that error was made long before I made my contributions. 

I am extremely attentive to citations as seen in my edit summaries and my history of editing. I am quite appreciative when another editor improves on content I have added. Wikipedia is amazing. 

It was a good step on your part to remove the content until it has been paraphrased and/or quotations and inline citations added. By the way I could not access the www.all-business.com article using this phrase that was cited by Ithenticate so it is difficult to say who published this sentence first, Finkelstein and Temin or all-business? 

This topic is so important and it is great to meet another very conscientious editor working on it. The 2004 litigation should definitely be in the article and I did find a great New York Times 2004 article on it. I might work on that at some time.[[User:Oceanflynn|Oceanflynn]] ([[User talk:Oceanflynn#top|talk]]) 03:46, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

== Using non-free images on userpages ==

Hi Oceanflynn. I just wanted to let you know that I removed [[:File:DaoofCapital.jpg]] from your [[:User:Oceanflynn/Zero Sum Game (Finance)]] per [[:WP:UP#Non-free images]] because the file is [[:WP:NFCI|non-free]] and may only be used in the [[:WP:MAINSPACE|article namespace]] per [[:WP:NFCC#9]]. In addition, just for future reference, a non-free book cover such as this is generally only considered OK for use in a stand-alone article about the book itself and not in other articles, unless the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary, per [[:WP:NFC#cite note-2]]. A stand-alone article about a book is considered to provide the "[[:WP:NFC#Meeting the contextual significance criterion|contextual significance]]" needed by it's cover art to satisfy [[:WP:NFCC#8]] whereas usage in other articles needs to be decorative and not necessary. Finally, usage in image galleries is also considered to be decorative per [[:WP:NFG]] and is also generally not considered to be sufficient to satisfy NFCC#8.

== Kyle Bass ==

Greetings - Based on your stature in the Wikipedia community and your interest in hedge funds and fund managers, I wanted to flag a few potential BLP edits that would improve the content in the Kyle Bass BLP page. Would you be the person whom I should share this with? I will not be making edits, but rather participating in the community discussions.

My name is Steele and I work at Hayman Capital Management, L.P., which was founded by J. Kyle Bass in 2005. My goal is to serve as a resource in support of Wikipedia’s three core content policies.

== [[Pacific Gas and Electric Company]] ==

I see you've been making a lot of edits to the [[Pacific Gas and Electric Company]].  I was tempted last week to delete most of the "rates" section of the article.  It seems entirely unencyclopedic, and would be best on the company's website.  What do you think?  [[User:Magnolia677|Magnolia677]] ([[User talk:Magnolia677|talk]]) 21:06, 17 April 2016 (UTC)


Thanks for noticing that [[User:Magnolia677|Magnolia677]] ([[User talk:Magnolia677|talk]]). I wanted to get rid of that section to. It is outdated and unsightly with everything in bold font. I tried unsuccessfully to at least change that. I could move it to the talk page where it could be discussed. If anyone really wants the rate section there maybe they could summarize it instead of leaving all the data.[[User:Oceanflynn|Oceanflynn]] ([[User talk:Oceanflynn#top|talk]]) 21:12, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/Oceanflynn|your contributions]] to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from [[:United States Senate Committee on Appropriations]] into [[:Earmark (politics)]]. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, [[WP:Copyrights|Wikipedia's licensing]] does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and [[Help:Link#Wikilinks|linking]] to the copied page, e.g., <code>copied content from <nowiki>[[page name]]</nowiki>; see that page's history for attribution</code>. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{tl|copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication.

== Wikipedia editorial voice at [[Sweden-bashing]] ==

Hi there.  I see you've been editing the article on [[Sweden-bashing]] rather aggressively during the deletion discussion.  There's nothing wrong with that, but in so doing, you are making some of the existing problems with the article worse.  In particular, you are taking sources where a single commentator is making a claim, and then presenting the claim in Wikipedia's voice instead of identifying the person who made it.  This should only be done if the view is so widely accepted that nobody is likely to dispute it.  The material should be reflected the same way in the lead—i.e. if the sourcing only supports an article-body claim that Commentator X has espoused View Y, View Y should not be presented in the lead without some kind of attribution, even if the view is presented ''with'' attribution further below in the article body.

==Disambiguation link notification for April 26==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[First 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[William Orrick]]. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

== CGCN Group ==

Hi Oceanflynn! As you have recently edited [[CGCN Group]], I wanted to give you a heads up about [[Talk:CGCN_Group|a couple of edit requests]] I posted to improve the article since your last edits. These requests include a ''History'' section that fixes inaccuracies and adds new detail, in addition to a ''Partners'' section that is (hopefully) self-explanatory. It would be great if you have time to review these requests. As I do have a conflict of interest (I am proposing the updates on behalf of CGCN as part of my work at Beutler Ink) I'm seeking uninvolved editors to review the proposed drafts and offer their feedback.

== Improving [[Financial Accounting Standards Board]] ==

Hey Oceanflynn, I saw you made a number of edits to the article on the FASB last year, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in helping me update and improve it further. You're the last editor to have made any real substantial edits, and I'd appreciate your insight with any changes to the article. I've been working with the Financial Accounting Foundation to help ensure that the information there is both accurate and up to date. Most of the changes I have in mind are organizational, but there's also additional content to provide more context into the history of the Board, as well as some auditing of the references used throughout. If you have the time, would you mind helping me out? I'm in the process of staging these proposed stages in a sandbox.--[[User:FacultiesIntact|FacultiesIntact]] ([[User talk:FacultiesIntact|talk]]) 20:49, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

I really wish you had presented a draft of your recent expansion to the talk page; there are a few issues with how you like to present information. Too many quotes, too many quotes that serve little purpose, too many "according to [this news agency]" phrases for uncontroversial facts, and too many minuet details (she giggles, laughs at teargas, and twice you describe her t-shirt). I know you want to help improve the article but ''how'' you present information is just as essential as ''what'' information you aim to address.[[User:TheGracefulSlick|TheGracefulSlick]] ([[User talk:TheGracefulSlick|talk]]) 21:37, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

I am requesting a second opinion on the decision to maintain blacklisting status of Homeless Hub. In November 2017, I attempted [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist&direction=next&oldid=808643810 unsuccessfully] to have Homeless Hub removed from the blacklist status it was assigned in 2010. Following the rejection, I requested on the talk page that there be more investigation by other administrators. I did not understand the process so my November request remained unanswered. 

Homeless Hub is an organization founded and directed by [[Stephen Gaetz]] {{postnominals|country=CAN|OC}}, a [[York University]] professor who has received the the [[Order of Canada]], one of Canada's highest civilian honours, is director of Homeless Hub.

I have taken a considerable amount of time to understand the blacklisting process which seems to be mainly related to activities by a handful of Users over a period of weeks in 2009 and early 2010. They were blocked. 

The following link includes the exchange with the editor who manages the blacklist as well as User names etc and I am not sure if that was appropriate.

[[User:Buster7]] submitted the following nomination for [[WP:Editor of the Week|Editor of the Week]]:
:It is with great pleasure that I nominate Oceanflynn as one member of a group of editors that displayed exemplary teamwork. When editors work toward a common goal discussions, consultations, deliberations and concessions are the benchmark. One of the more challenging tasks that an editor can undertake is to manage and manipulate input into an article that is in flux, an article that's "real life history" is developing daily. Such an article was the recent [[March For Our Lives]]. Oceanflynn and members of this team  deserve individual recognition as EotW's because they came together and worked on the maps of various locations , before and after the event, and the result brought necessary clarity. One need only look at [[Talk:March For Our Lives#Maps]] to see the positive interactions that resulted in a timely addition to the encyclopedia.&#8213;[[User:Buster7|<span style="color:#775C57;">'''''Buster7'''''</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Buster7|<span style="color:#AAA;">&#9742;</span>]]  17:17, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

==Carbon price==
Hi there. I just noticed the article [[Carbon price (Canada)]] that you created. I've had a similar article in my userspace for a few days (see [[User:Mindmatrix/Skunkworks/Carbon tax (Canada)]]). I'm now trying to decide whether to keep mine as a separate article (specifically about the tax), or integrate it into the broader article you wrote. Ideas? Note that if we keep my article too, we'd probably have to shift some content between these two. [[User:Mindmatrix|<span style="color: #8b4513;">Mind</span>]][[User_talk:Mindmatrix|<span style="color: #ee8811;">matrix</span>]] 19:26, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
:By the way, could you clean up that article a bit. There are a lot of sentences containing quotations with no citations (any sentence with a quotation '''must''' have a citation following it - putting it at the end of a paragraph is not sufficient). There are also some quotations which aren't closed, for example ''"about $69 million a year for gasoline...'' and ''"new source of revenue for the government...'' - both sentences end without closing the quotation (there are more in the text). [[User:Mindmatrix|<span style="color: #8b4513;">Mind</span>]][[User_talk:Mindmatrix|<span style="color: #ee8811;">matrix</span>]] 20:01, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

:Hi {{u|Mindmatrix}}. That's great to have a veteran editor contributing to this topic. 

Could your more focused article specifically about the tax, be renamed, [[Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act]]? 

I am sure there is a way to keep both articles with some shifting and sharing of the content. I am open to suggestions and collaboration. I am an inclusionist. 

I suggest a <nowiki>{{todo}}</nowiki> for the talk page. I am going to add this conversation to the talk page. 

On August 6, 2018, I created my sandbox article [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Oceanflynn/sandbox/Carbon_tax_(Canada) Carbon tax (Canada)] as a fork from the article [[Carbon tax]]. I worked on it regularly since then. On New Years Eve, I uploaded the contents of [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Oceanflynn/sandbox/Carbon_tax_(Canada) sandbox article Carbon tax (Canada)] to the main article space [[Carbon price (Canada)]] as my last Wikipedia edit in 2018. While not complete, it was 34,523 bytes long and had 46 references. I changed the name from "tax" to "price" as the more inclusive term and the one used by OECD, etc.[[User:Oceanflynn|Oceanflynn]] ([[User talk:Oceanflynn#top|talk]]) 20:39, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

It does not stand on its own for the main article space, it was too much content for the main article.
