Hello GiantSnowman, I would like to inquire on how to regain a page you deleted . - 11:26, 22 August 2013 GiantSnowman (talk | contribs) deleted page Betegy (Expired PROD, concern was: Unnotable entry for a company, promotional (clearly fails WP:COMPANY))

I would also like to clear up the issue of "Unnotable entry for company". BETEGY is a data driven site and not a gambling site and you can see editorials done on us by Wall Street journal: http://blogs.wsj.com/tech-europe/2013/07/05/startup-predicts-soccer-results/, CNN Money: http://money.cnn.com/2013/07/12/technology/innovation/betegy-soccer-betting/index.html. And most recently we annouced our co-operation with big sports data company(ESPN) and we were covered by Goal Europe: http://goaleurope.com/2013/09/19/polish-ukrainian-sport-prediction-service-betegy-signs-deal-with-espn/.

Once again I would like to stress that we are a data and sport statistic company and not another betting company, and you can refer to the links I posted earlier to confirm our notability.

Question

Hey, GiantSnowman,
I had a general question that came up on a Reference Desk Talk Page conversation. Is there any oversight of the Reference Desks? There are some excellent Reference Desk guidelines that would eliminate the competency questions I have but they are not always followed.
My concern isn't at the stage where I'd name names or post diffs of instances where I see Editors substituting opinions and guesses for facts (or the perfectly acceptable, "That can't be answered at Wikipedia"). I think the Editors are well-intioned but they should be aware of the limits of their ability to provide accurate answers to any question that is posted. So, if I do follow-through on this, I wondered if the Reference Desks were the province of any particular Admins or a Task Force or something.
Thanks for any information you can provide. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:32, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Change position by round to source is edit warring?

Hi.

Me and JMHamo has edited on the 2013–14 Liverpool F.C. season and especially the position by round table. However today both of us got warnings for edit warring just by correcting the table according to the given source (statto). Is it really edit warring to edit something to the same as the source says? To me those editors editing against the source should be warned for unsourced/disruptive edits, and not give warning to those editing according to source. These position by round has been discussed many times and I thought the statto source was supposed to be used, or why else have the source below the table? And with that sourcce on the article am I doing something wrong editing according to the source? I feel angry at the moment for getting a big red warning for making a sourced edit.

Thank you for your answer. I kind of understand that it is still edit warring even if I feel it is wrong. It is the rules. However as I said it feels wrong because my first instinct when I see something not according to source is to fix it and not go to talkpage. Is it okay to warn the other editor for unsourced edits or disruptive editing when they edit againt source? And also Mentoz86 wrote that it is content dispute, how can it be content dispute when we have source that tells us how it should be? Edit warring, i kind of understand but content dispute when it is backed up by source? QED237 (talk) 09:31, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
