Blowsight page

Please stop changing the text of the page, and why put a code with "no references" when YOU deleted them all? And the page was made like some of the pages on Wikipedia, as the same model/type, so why changing it? --Julie Arnaud (talk) 21:30, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Removed 3 instances of identical text written four times

I'm changing it because it doesn't meet Wikipedia's standards without those changes. As to why I removed the references, I clearly stated my reasons in my edit summary, as required.

I recommend that you either find verifiable and reliable independent third party sources with significant coverage, or request that the article be deleted. Of course, that's assuming that you aren't affiliated with the band; if you are, you shouldn't be touching the article at all (per WP:COI). Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 21:34, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

How an official website of the band can't be a verifiable/reliable source? I can't do better... How can I find better sources? Who's better to talk about the band on internet than the band himself?

And no I'm not affiliated with the band.

And why did you delete all the External Links?

--Julie Arnaud (talk) 21:55, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

This is all per Wikipedia policy, which is why I keep pointing you to Wikipedia policy pages.

• How an official website of the band can't be a verifiable/reliable source? See WP:Self-published sources
• why did you delete all the External Links? See WP:ELOFFICIAL.
• As to why I think you might be affiliated with the band: it's because your account was created by User:OfficialFrenchSupportBlowsight?

I know you're new to Wikipedia (or at least the English Wikipedia). I've just added a number of links to your talk page, which may give you some useful places to start learning about how things are done here. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 22:15, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

"Official websites may be included in some infoboxes, and by convention are listed first in the External links section." This is what I did. For the other links okay it's not possible to let them, it's okay I can understand but the official website of the band needs to be in the external link. (it's ok that it's not a reference, just let it as an external link)

and for the references I will see and try how to make it better in the future. --Julie Arnaud (talk) 22:25, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Personally, I don't see a point in having an EL section if all it does is duplicate the sole link in the infobox. As to additions to the article, please, please, please read WP:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest first. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 22:31, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Okay, but I see some pages with the link in the infobox plus the link in the external links, I prefer to be sure. It's ok so, I won't put external links.

And I'm just a French fan of the band I'm not affiliate with the band, I just want them to be a part of Wikipedia and if people want to learn more about them they can read the article. And I didn't write something with my point of view, all was about what they did nothing more.

--Julie Arnaud (talk) 22:37, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

I don't see how you can simultaneously be just a French fan of the band and the Official French Support of Blowsight. But apparently someone else also thought that the band showed insufficient notability, as the article has now been deleted. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 21:57, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Regarding your helpme request response

Hi Dori! I came upon your response to a helpme request at User talk:RobertNesbit#Help request, where you gave WP:Peer review as a viable option for the user to seek initial review of his stub. Peer review is for high-quality articles that have already undergone extensive work, often as a way of preparing an article to become a featured article candidate. I didn't want to simply post there that the advice you gave was incorrect and that if he followed it, and posted to WP:PR, it would be rejected out of hand (as it would be), but at the same time I feel some duty to not leave that advice for a beginning user in place. So I came here hoping that by informing you of the issue you'd go make a change to your post. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 05:25, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Done, and sorry about that. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 21:57, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Dori!--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 00:10, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

subwayherodotcom

Hi Dori,

I have just reverted another silly contribution from subwayherodotcom (talk · contribs) on the Chrysler Building. In view of all the unconstructive contributions from this person; is it not time for a block? With best regards, David. David J Johnson (talk) 20:42, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

I agree completely—it's a shame I'm not an admin, sometimes… Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 06:11, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Decision-making software article

Hi again, Dori. I replied to you at decision-making software talk page, and I'd appreciate you considering my reply. (And any advice you can offer about how to overcome the 2 remaining tagged criticisms of the article would be gratefully received.) Thanks. Paul Paulwizard (talk) 02:28, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

The issue is, as I understand it, whether the tags on the page should reflect Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, or opinions on the article's talk page. Personally, I'll stick with the former. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 06:11, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
