Master Studio, if you want to talk about the Barozzi family, the place to do it is Talk:Barozzi family. Otherwise, I will see anything you write at User talk:Master Studio. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:50, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Untitled

Hi, I'm working on the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe page and I'm not sure why the content is being reverted to an outdated version. Yesterday, I added relevant footnotes and references and it has been reverted again. Please let me know how to proceed. Thank you. CIRad84 (talk) 08:36, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

CIRad84, may I suggest that you read about (a) conflict of interest, (b) promotional editing and (c) independent reliable sources, which were my reasons for reverting your edits. I've replied here, but the place to discuss that article is the talk-page, Talk:Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe.

Fénix Awards

Hi, Justlettersandnumbers, I've just edited "Fénix Awards" in order to rescue the page, maintaining part of your original information. I make the commitment to keep it updated. Following the Wikipedia advice, I'm letting you know this change, hoping that you won't mind and help me to improve the content of this page. Thank you. --Lunaliu (talk) 13:10, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

I don't think that's "my" information, Lunaliu, it's just what was left after I removed a copyright violation there. Anyway, we don't move pages by copying the content to a new page, so for now I've redirected Fénix Awards to Draft:Fénix Awards, which has the previous history of the page. May I suggest that you work on it there and submit it for review when you think it is ready? Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 14:07, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

I wrote you because I thought, erroneously, that you were the creator of the page. My mistake. Anyway, neither do I copy the content of a page from another page. The information contained in Draft:Fénix Awards is all mine, as it's seen in the History of the page. It was I who put it in there and in Fénix Awards at the same time, because I thought that replacing the old draft was a previous requirement to make a new publication. In any case, the Draft:Fénix Awards is the one to repair, delete or reverse, not the other one. The work in Fénix Awards is new and original, not a copy-paste, (only from my sandbox, where it's still remaining), and has not a copyright violation. I'm not a relative with this stuff, only a fan who asked for some kind of help. It's for sure that the article may suffer from many issues but, as some user wrote: "it needs revision from a movie-spectacle expert". Sadly, again this article was "lost in translation", multiple mistakes, technicalities, and other obstacles that are placing it to a limbo, doing a small favor to casual readers, movie lovers, or general culture. The cry for help is still on the air for someone who has the faculties and the interest to serve and honor what should be the raison d'être of Wikipedia: accurate, reliable and verified information.--Lunaliu (talk) 21:12, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Revert

Hi Justlettersandnumbers, I saw you reverted my edit on Lombard Street (Baltimore). I placed the article in Category:Guardia Lombardi because, as it says in the article, the street is named after the town of Guardia Lombardi. I think this makes the article relevant to that category. Do you not agree? Ergo Sum 01:33, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Well, certainly I had missed that rather surprising statement, Ergo Sum, so I may have been wrong there (though I don't think so). The talk-page of that article would be the best place to discuss it, I think. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:13, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Royal Microscopical Society

You seem to have reverted one of my edits...

...en route to deleting a pile of crap posted by a troll.

I approve. Narky Blert (talk) 00:54, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

David Ostrowski

Hi Justlettersandnumbers. You requested a revdel for large parts of David Ostrowski a few weeks back per WP:COPYVIO. Lots of content has been readded to the article again, so I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a peek to see if it's the same as the previously removed stuff. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:30, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

I saw, Marchjuly. I don't see any substantial copyright problem with the new content. Nor do I see anything good about it – it looks like the usual gallery puff-piece ("... addresses a sense of subversive Post-Minimalist apathy"? – could we have that in English, please?). Someone needs to go in there with a brush-hook. I might try to do something about it if no-one else does. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 14:47, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for taking a look. I was just curious as to whether somebody simply re-added content which has previously been removed as a copyvio. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:37, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Baby Bootlegger

Hi Justlettersandnumbers. You requested a revdel for some parts of Baby Bootlegger. I tried to find the correct template for the article but could not find one, so I used what I found. I'm not a wikipedia expert but know about the topic of this page quite a lot. I will rewrite the article this week to remove the copyright violations. Thanks and sorry for the hassle. -- hki007 (talk) 13:52, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Not quite, hki007 – what is needed there is a copyright investigation and clean-up; the revdeletion comes after that. Please don't make any edit to the page until that is complete. If you want to work on a re-write you can do so at this page (please follow that exact link to reach it). Please don't copy anything from the various sources you copied from before (or indeed any other published source), as doing that would make your re-write useless. Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 14:13, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

George Crouch

Hi Justlettersandnumbers. Thanks for your fast response and sorry for the similar copyright issues on both of the articles Baby Bootlegger and George Crouch I have recently written. I want to fix these problematic issues so that the accurate information remains. However, I remain somewhat confused with the Wikipedia policies, what is accepted and what is not. I know about the articles' substance but I'm not that much an expert when it comes to the Wikipedia process or technical details. Where could I find some layman intro to the Wikipedia policies, starting from very simple questions like "are cross-references inside Wikipedia good or bad?". As an example, I had a link in the George Crouch article to the APBA Gold Cup Wikipedia article, and after the latest revisions I notice that this cross-link has been removed. Is it a bad thing to refer to other Wikipedia articles? Is there something I can do to get the copyright violation notification removed from the George Crouch article? Big thanks. -- hki007 (talk) 10:46, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Hki007, don't worry, those pages will get sorted out in time; the really important thing is to avoid adding any more copied content in the future. At George Crouch, the copyvio-revdel request will be removed by the administrator who hides the "bad" edits in the page history; it should be left there until that happens. You are free to edit the page, but not – of course! – to re-add any of the previous infringing content. Wikilinking is (within reason) always encouraged, and the only reason that "Gold Cup" isn't linked in that page is that I forgot to go back and see which Gold Cup it was – sorry! There's a lot of advice for newer editors at Wikipedia:Your first article, with plenty of links to various relevant topics. If you have specific questions, you can always ask at the Teahouse, which is there for that purpose, and particularly aimed at new editors.

A question: when you wrote Finnish transport vessel Wilhelm Carpelan, did you translate directly from some Finnish source or sources (such as fi.wp?), or was the text entirely your own? Because if this contains direct translation, it too may need to be sorted out and/or cleaned up (I'm afraid I can't read Finnish at all, so it's hard for me to judge). Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:56, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Justlettersandnumbers. I'm a classic boat and historic ship aficionado. I wrote both the original Finnish wikipedia article https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/M/S_Wilhelm_Carpelan and the English article Finnish transport vessel Wilhelm Carpelan. The winter photo of the vessel in the Wikipedia articles is taken by me, I could see her for ten years from my office windows. I built the original Finnish article from information snippets from multiple sources, all in Finnish and Swedish, including printed military history magazines from the 1970s (http://www.rannikonpuolustaja.fi/archive/1979_2.pdf) and early 2000s, and the obituary of the person who rebuilt the ship after the Finnish Navy decommissioned her. There's some later edits and additions to the pages by other Wikipedia contributors and I have not checked where all that information is coming from. I pretty much translated the English wikipedia article from my original Finnish article. One Finnish wikipedia editor did remove sections from my original wikipedia text saying that the information is not "relevant" which to me sounded a bit odd, especially now that I look at the sections that have been added by others, and tell about similar technical details of the vessel. -- hki007 (talk) 17:46, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Personal question

Please tell what one needs to do to get Wikipedia access to HighBeam and Newspapers.com? Thank you. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 20:51, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Bbarmadillo, some questions are easy ... but this isn't one of them. It's all changed since I signed up. The starting point should be here, but that takes you here, which is a page I've never seen. I think you need OAuth to log in there, and should then see a "Start new application" button. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:21, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you! -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 18:14, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Just stopped by to say thanks again. I've got access to HighBeam following your advice! -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 21:10, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Kaldighi

Hi, JLAN - Kaldighi is back in the NPP queue. I saw where you redirected it back in Aug last year. Not seeing any improvement so I'm inclined to send it to Draft space until it's fixed. Your thoughts? ^{Atsme📞📧} 03:11, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Hmm... {hi, Atsme!) ... I either missed that revert or decided it was a battle best left unfought. The editor is now check-user blocked. I think a redirect is the best choice there, but draft space could work too. I can't find anything about it other than its (probable) existence as a quarter or suburb of Gangarampur – but then I don't speak or read Hindi. We also have Kaldighi Park, which should probably go the same way. We don't have a page on the lake, which this page tells us will be used for "pissiculture" – so maybe not the best spot for swimming? Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:46, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Opinion sought

I'm curious for your opinion on the Mariah Robertson page. Should only take about 2 seconds, specifically these unreferenced gallery exhibition lists. And of course she wants to add more, because these lists apparently aren't enough. Spintendo ᔦᔭ 18:25, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Corriente Cattle

You just reverted a set of edits I made to the Corriente article, because one of the three citations I added was to a magazine article that I wrote. I'm not clear on what was wrong with the citation. Generally speaking, a magazine article like that one is a perfectly valid Wikipedia cite. Is your issue that Acres U.S.A. doesn't have an archive of the article on their own website, or would it be a valid citation from someone else, but not from me? Thanks. Gary D Robson 20:46, 7 February 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gary D Robson (talk • contribs)

Gary D Robson, I haven't examined the source in detail, so can't comment on its reliablility. It's generally considered poor form to quote oneself in Wikipedia. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:06, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Fair enough. If it's basically an etiquette thing, I'll make sure not to cite anything I've written and go back to my original sources.Gary D Robson 21:24, 7 February 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gary D Robson (talk • contribs)

"The National memo" dispute

Hi. As requested by Robert McClenon I am notifying you that a Dispute resolution request has been raised for your edits to The National Memo article. Please share your point of view at the dispute's page. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 19:32, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Remy Blumenfeld

@Justlettersandnumbers: Hi, May I know why are you reverting my all edits from article Remy Blumenfeld. It takes two days for me to prepare the whole article with proper citations and formatting. And, It took only few seconds to revert the whole article. The article complies Wikipedia guidelines and all the information is verifiable. If you think my edits not complies Wikipedia rules, you are free to add maintenance tags or can resolve the issue as per WP:FIXIT. Also, I would request you to please refrain from reverting my edits. I am taking the issue to Wikipedia Helpdesk. If there is any problem in my edits, they will inform me. Thanks 223.189.17.142 (talk) 09:31, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

223.189.17.142, what you wrote here is your first edit to Wikipedia. I reverted a large addition by another IP. My edit summary there was "rm a mass addition of promotional content (promotional both in tone and in intent) – WP:neutrality is one of the core principles of this project" – surely that tells you clearly why I did so? A question for you: what is your connection to Blumenfeld? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:20, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

@Justlettersandnumbers: Thank you for explaining reason. What you reverted that was my edit. As I am associated with the subject, I do declare my conflict of interest here. As you told the article does not meet the Wikipedia's neutrality guidelines. I'm again preparing it complying neutrality guidelines and would share it with you for approval. Do it need to register myself on Wikipedia to make further edits. As edit option is disabled now. 106.209.177.61 (talk) 16:34, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Liberal and Left-Wing

In the United States, 'liberal' has lost its original nineteenth-century meaning of referring to liberal democracy, partly because the original objective of liberal democracy has been considered achieved in the United States since the end of the eighteenth century. Liberal instead does mean either left-wing or progressive, and I mostly agree with Spintendo that left-wing and liberal are equivalent in context. In any case, it isn't worth volunteer editors spending a lot of time working to tweak the wording to provide a better advertisement for a paid editor. However, Spintendo is mostly correct in an American context, and that is the relevant context. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:57, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

I can't agree. Those words have to be used in a way and in a context that makes it possible for anyone, anywhere in the world, to understand them. I wasn't there, but I understand that Russia under Stalin was pretty left-wing, but not at all liberal; these are common and widely-understood meanings. But – though of course it's always a pleasure to hear from you – I really can't bring myself to devote one more word or brain-cell to the infernal National Memo or its politics. Sorry, but my patience there has worn thin. Best regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:11, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Guardian News & Media Archive

Would you care to let me know how the business deal between GNM and Fleet Street's Finest Ltd. be covered in this section without just deleting it. It seems to be acceptable to cover other means of income generation for the paper in the sub headed - "Membership" subscription scheme - and other business links to DigitalArchive for example. Is it just the outbound link that's an issue? Should it just go to the Guardian page? Best regards, Bret Painter (talk) 23:18, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Bret Painter, please see the notice I left on your talk-page about disclosing your WP:conflict of interest. Wikipedia is not an advertising platform. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:21, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Justlettersandnumbers, Well that's good news, I'm struggling to write anything on this platform. How do I register my COI properly? And please consider my previous note on your talk page a personal request for you register the business dealing between Guardian News Media and Fleet Street's Finest in the archive section as you deem fit.
