WP:PREVIEWS ---> WP:SPOILERS
Check out this discussion. I said I was willing to make a new essay but given your opposition I had to make the redirect because there was a redlink in the discussion by an unsigned user. If you have to revert again, feel free. NintendoFan (Talk, Contribs) 08:33, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not sure WP:PREVIEWS should redirect elsewhere than WP:PREVIEW, but I do not care very strongly, so as long as WP:PREVIEW doesn't change, I won't do anything about this. —Kusma (t·c) 08:51, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- I could see why you initially did it:
- the singular directs to the article about the preview button (before you save the edit)
- the plural — the one I intended — redirect to the essay on entertainment spoilers. NintendoFan (Talk, Contribs) 11:21, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

"Alok Nath" page vandalized
Writing to you since you are listed as an administrator. Due to a twitter flash-mob, this page has been vandalized http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alok_Nath multiple times over the last 3-4 days. I can revert but its an unending game. Would you or someone be able to lock/protect this page? The current content sounds innocuous but is still inaccurate - best will be go to back to edits from Christmas (Dec 25, 2013) timeframe since it is difficult to undo line by line bad faith edits — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harry Public (talk • contribs) 17:38, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- I wasn't online, but Agathoclea kindly reverted and semiprotected the page. In general, you should try the pages listed at Wikipedia:Requests for administrator attention instead of contacting a single admin who may or may not be online. Happy editing, —Kusma (t·c) 13:37, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Thank you for your notification about page of "pierre and marie curie university". You have removed my new page entitled "upmc - sorbonne university (Paris 6)", but you deleted also the other pages of this topic (i.e. pierre and marie curie university) in other languages, such as French, Deutsch and ... Please Undo and recover the other languages of "pierre and marie curie university". At the moment only English page of "pierre and marie curie university is remained." Thank you for your attention. 1241edit (talk) 07:10, 2 February 2014 (UTC) 1241edit

Creative Poetry
The title 'creative poetry' related to free poetry posting sites, where poets post their poems and receive, and post, their own comments - which are required to be positive and polite. Poetry Free-for-all, on the other hand, is not positive and polite. It is (and intends to be) cruel and impolite. This is a fact, and I believe should be published in the public interest. It is not just my opinion. It is the openly declared policy of Poetry Free-for-all. The secondary source is Poetry Free-for-all, which advertises and glories in its policy of 'cruelty'. At the end of the essay I included a personal opinion, viz: 'I hope not'. This could be deleted. I hope you will reconsider your decision in the circumstances. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.216.146.27 (talk) 02:53, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Creative Poetry
I have no 'tildes'on my keyboard, and know what Wikipedia represents and requires. Admittedly my essay has a personal slant, but is factual and verifiable. Any suggestion of opinion can easily be edited out, so that the explanation for seekers after information about poetry posting sites will be objective and unsullied by bias or a point of view. Can I at least present the edited essay for your consideration? (imagined tildes) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.216.146.27 (talk) 02:17, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
- I will not undelete what you wrote before, but I have nothing against you trying again. Of course you'll need to write something completely different for it to have a chance to be accepted in Wikipedia. —Kusma (t·c) 06:40, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Game Show Network
Hello, Kusma.
I was looking at the history for the Game Show Network page and noticed that you had protected it due to "persistent vandalism." I'm curious about what that vandalism involved, as I work for a division of the company.
Actually, this message is probably a good opportunity to bring up a particular issue about the company. I work for GSN Games, which is part of the company that runs the TV network, but is run separately (for the most part) and is in a business that's only tangentially related. They run a cable TV channel that broadcasts game shows, and we run an online casual gaming business.
I know that Wikipedia isn't responsible for Google's Knowledge Graph, but it is the primary source of its data, and what Google is currently displaying is inaccurate. A search for [gsn games] will bring up my division's site (gsn.com) and a Knowledge Graph box about Game Show Network, indicating that we're a TV network, not mentioning online games, but including the latest post from our (the game company's) social media page. A search that brings up the TV network's site (gsntv.com) has no Knowledge Graph box.
I'm trying to remedy this situation so that Google will understand that while it's all one company, there are two separate divisions that are in two different fields. I've already created a Freebase page for GSN Games, and I want to create one here on Wikipedia, but I'm concerned that as I'm an employee of the company, anything I contribute about it will be viewed as marketing materials and deleted. I've been a member of Wikipedia for a long time (probably close to ten years), but I've never been a particular active contributor, so any advice you can give me that would keep me from wasting my time and that of other editors would be greatly appreciated.
Gladstein (talk) 14:14, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- About the vandalism: edits like this appear every time the page is unprotected. Some IPs have been persistently writing this for the last two months. For Google, I don't know how to help you correct their inaccuracies (and I couldn't reproduce what you said, at least not on google.co.uk; where I did not see any Knowledge Graph). Our Conflict of interest policy suggests that you should raise the matter of Wikipedia's coverage of GSN Games on the talk page. However, I would advise that you should first suggest an expansion of the content in Game_Show_Network#Online_gaming based on reliable independent sources. Perhaps that will show that a standalone article should exist (I personally can't tell; my involvement in your company's article was of a purely routine administrative nature). Hope that helps, —Kusma (t·c) 14:32, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the BLP speedy on this. For my future ref, is there a better way to get such gross BLP violations quickly and privately removed? Meters (talk) 20:54, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- If you don't want to draw attention to it, email the oversight team. See Wikipedia:Oversight. They can even hide the stuff from administrators. Tagging as an attack page as you did is not as private, but usually pretty quick. I don't know how good the oversight team's response times are, and how much they depend on time of day. —Kusma (t·c) 21:20, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for quality articles such as Georg Forster and the featured portal Germany, for your simple userpage and other efforts to keep things simple, - repeating: you are an awesome Wikipedian (6 August 2007)!
