Ageplay

Excuse me but you have no right to accuse me of doing something I haven't it's not my fault your definition of Ageplay is  completely out of date and wrong I'm not the only person that believes that nor am I the only person that's going to try to change the definition until you get it right

So get your facts straight before accusing me of doing something that I didn't do

not daddy talica

I understand what you are saying I was trying to add the source material you are requesting to Daddy Talica's info as well as correcting parts of it. I can prove I'm not Daddy talica though I do know him and we both worked on the update for age play. He had coded the whole thing as I do not know how to do so.

The sources are as follows

@Winglady 87:@Daddy tallica:

Please understand that I always try to assume good faith while editing, but when a new user account shows up and makes nearly exactly the same edits that are already involved in an edit war, there is a reasonable and logical conclusion. Regardless of if you are the same person or not, engaging in an edit war isn't OK. I recommend stepping back, having a look at some other Wikipedia entries, and then adjusting your edits to match the tone and style we're going for. It's especially important to maintain a neutral point of view and to cite sources for your propositions. Your edits put forth opinions, which isn't what Wikipedia is about.

Mountainviews

Hi,

Please explain to me what an 'nn website is'

Thank you

Wildmountainscene (talk) 08:48, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Wildmountainscene: Sure it means the website is "non-notable." That is, that it does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for inclusion. Agtx (talk) 16:07, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please review Strong Image Films edit

I have edited the single secondary source cited is a bio of the founder. The source cited now is more about the company and a film they are in production on. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlohaRoadRunner (talk • contribs) 19:30, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@AlohaRoadRunner: I still don't think the topic meets the guidelines at WP:N. We'll wait for the results of the deletion discussion. Agtx (talk) 20:01, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

response

I'm not sure how [that happened]. That definitely was not what I intended to do. I'm thinking I must have accidentally wrote over an edit conflict or something. Thank you for reverting, I will be more careful. 70.36.233.104 (talk) 20:47, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mountainviews

Hi again,

Could I point out that in Wikipedia itself virtually every mountain or hill in Ireland names Mountainviews as its principal reference source.

Here are a number of examples:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lugnaquilla

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caher_(mountain)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beenkeragh

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slieve_Donard

Mountaineering Ireland is the Governing Body for Mountaineering in Ireland. On its hillwalking page http://mountaineering.ie/hillwalking/default.aspx it mentions no other hillwalking websites in Ireland, but reference MountainViews twice. http://mountaineering.ie/hillwalking/MountainViews/default.aspx http://mountaineering.ie/hillwalking/Challengeyourself-IrishHillwalkingLists/default.aspx

The Ordnance Survey is the National Mapping Agency for the Republic of Ireland - the official Government body for mapping. All of their 1:25000 and 1:50000 maps produced in the last 5 years have used MountainViews data and this is acknowledged on the printed maps. Furthermore, online recognition from OSI includes this: http://www.osi.ie/Products/Adventure-Map-Series.aspx which includes MV logo and mentions Mountain Views in the text.

Mountainviews is the principal information source among the entire hillwalking and mountaineering community in Ireland. If this site is deemed to be 'nn' then I cannot fathom how minor clubs such as the following are deemed sufficiently notable:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Mountaineering_Club

Thanks for your attention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wildmountainscene (talk • contribs) 08:44, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Wildmountainscene:I'm going to take this to mean you're contesting the deletion. I'll remove the proposed deletion tag and put it up at Articles for Deletion. I'll reference your comments there, and you're welcome to add your own as well. Agtx (talk) 14:45, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Best Practices, LLC

hello, thank you for noting the issues with BPLLC wiki page. I am in the process of adding more notable content to the section with verifiable links. I understand the problem you faced with the name of the company Best Practices LLC, but do not confuse it with term "Best Practices" because this company has been into benchmarking business for almost 2 decades and has good name in the industry. It has been serving to almost 90% of top pharma companies. The work & research done by them is highly appreciated and always in news. I am glad you bought the page into notice so, I can now take it forward to edit and add more valuable content about the company into the page. If you find more errors in future please feel free to share. thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.114.59.166 (talk) 05:43, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Johnny Terris

The article in question was deleted based on internet bullying. The original Wikipedia page of the artist was defaced and lies were told to have it deleted. Nobody even bothered to check to see if any of the accusations wee true, they just deleted it. Completely unfair. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.156.228.85 (talk) 16:13, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry that you're unhappy with the outcome of the discussion. However, deleting the discussion itself is both against Wikipedia policy and doesn't solve your problem (i.e. it won't bring back the article). If you think that the page should not have been deleted, you are welcome to request review by following the procedure at WP:DRV. Agtx (talk) 16:18, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Joachim Holmstoel

Hiya! I'm just curious why you removed the AfD tag from Joachim Holmstoel. Generally these aren't supposed to be removed until the discussion is closed... Linkle (talk) 16:23, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Linkle:Um so this is embarrassing. My cat stepped on the trackpad while I went to get a glass of water. Thanks for catching it. Agtx (talk) 16:24, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Linkle: I have informed her that she will be blocked the next time she removes an AfD tag. Agtx (talk) 16:26, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

LOL. — Jeraphine Gryphon ^(talk) 16:27, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like your cat needs to be reported to WP:AIV :P Linkle (talk) 18:03, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Big Brother 17

Hello! I'm a regular on the BB17 Wiki page. I think you did make a mistake because Big Brother Buddy said those 4 people were nominated. But if I'm wrong please let me know. Sorry for the trouble.

Bsems (talk) 18:21, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Bsems: I reverted it because it looked like you were just messing with the comment up top (which was probably just an accident). Feel free to put it back. Agtx (talk) 18:23, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

anti Catholicism in America

You don't think calling Protestants paranoid, after what happened in the inquisitions, biased. I will no longer be contributing to wikipedia ,as I can see you have an agenda of your own.

Disambiguation link notification for July 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kaya Stewart, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Stewart (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:55, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

APTelecom Page

Hello,

What makes the APTelecom page seem particularly promotional? Can you give me an example of a sentence or section that does?I would like to get this fixed ASAP. I'm also not sure what you mean by secondary sources - I used press releases and news/press articles. Do those not qualify?

Thanks.Jabrams5 (talk) 10:14, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jabrams5: Sure, there are few problems. First, articles about corporations should meet the standards at WP:CORP and WP:GNG. That means we're looking for reliable and independent sources about the topic. The key here is independent. If the article is a press release, or another organization's reprinting of a press release, it's not independent. It might still be OK to use as a source, but it's not good enough to show that the company meets the notability guidelines.

Second, there's the promotional issue. Promotional content is the stuff that sounds like it's there just to sell a product. The "Products and Services" section is written in a way that it doesn't sound like an encyclopedia article about the company, but more like a corporate brochure. Have a look at Google#Products_and_services for an example of how information about a company's products can be written in a descriptive way as opposed to a promotional way. Agtx (talk) 15:50, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Agtx:Thank you, Agtx for the input/advice. I will look to update. Instead of the press releases, if I use articles that came from the press release, would that work? Also, once I make the changes should I notify you in hopes we can remove the 'nomination for deletion' banner? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jabrams5 (talk • contribs) 02:36, 14 July 2015‎ (UTC)[reply]

@Jabrams5: Articles that directly parrot the press release aren't going to be any better. If the article is coverage that's independent from the press release, that's more likely to help you show notability (WP:RS will give you some guidance on what's considered reliable and what's not). Once you've made the changes, the best thing you can do is comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/APTelecom to explain why you think the article is notable (with sources).

78.173.58.21 comments

Hey, first of all the turkish cassualties wich are mentiont on the page aint the cassualties that happend during the independence war. These are cassualties that happen form the first balkan wwar and world war 1 thats why I and some people before me removed it. Second, i dont understand why you removed the greek civil cassualties. These are cassualties that happend during the independence war. You also removed a part of the armenian cassualties.

I hope that you understand why I changed it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.173.58.21 (talk) 21:01, 13 July 2015‎ UTC

Edits

Why did you remove my edits to external links? Why are they "not appropriate?" — Preceding unsigned comment added by EcuaDug (talk • contribs) 23:52, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@EcuaDug: Because you added links to the same external website to many different pages, it appeared as though you were attempting to promote that website here, which is inappropriate. Even if that wasn't your goal, Wikipedia is not a collection of links, and the links you were adding are not the types of external links appropriate here. Agtx (talk) 23:58, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And why do you get to choose what external links there can be on Wikipedia? Who are you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by EcuaDug (talk • contribs) 00:06, 14 July 2015‎ (UTC)[reply]

@EcuaDug: I'm an editor just like you're an editor. The only difference is that I've been knocking around a little bit longer, so I'm decently well-versed in Wikipedia's policies. I'd encourage you to read Help:Getting started so that you can start to get an understanding of how Wikipedia works and make valuable contributions yourself.

Edits on Serena Williams

I have simply being trying to protect the information I added on Sunday referring to the recent events. Someone has being trying to take it down despite the fact that I referenced 7 sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thad caldwell (talk • contribs) 00:01, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Thad caldwell: I think you'll find that the justification you just offered doesn't get you far here. "Protecting" your edits sounds like you're trying to own the article, which is frowned upon. In any case, I have no idea whether your edits should be in the article or not, but what I do know is that edit warring is not an OK way to voice your views. Go to the talk page, explain your view there, and reach a consensus. That's how it's done. Agtx (talk) 00:07, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm certainly not trying to "own" anything. By protect I simply mean that I am reposting what another user is taking down. Have you emailed the same warning to them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thad caldwell (talk • contribs) 00:10, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Thad caldwell: I have, but regardless of the other editor's behavior, I would strongly urge you to reconsider how you approached the situation. Read the page about edit warring and understand that regardless of how reasonable your view is, the way you went about handling this dispute isn't going to work here. Agtx (talk) 00:14, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've posted my concerns via the talk section on the page in question and also on the noticeboard. What is the next step?Thad caldwell (talk) 00:31, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, is it possible for you to look at the edit I suggested along with the sources that I cited and instruct me on how to make the edit appropriately?Thad caldwell (talk) 00:37, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Thad caldwell: As you can see, you've started a discussion, which you can feel free to continue to add your thoughts to. The comment I made there is intended to help mediate, as well as to try and give you an idea of how your edit might get on the page. Agtx (talk) 01:04, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I'm getting the hang of this, so please bear with me. Thad caldwell (talk) 01:10, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just out of curiosity, if an agreement cannot be made, what would be the next step? I'm hoping a discourse will resolve it. Thad caldwell (talk) 01:32, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Thad caldwell: Well, to start, there are plenty of people who look at this article, not all of whom are online right now. I'd start by giving it a few days to hash out. If it looks like the consensus is against you, then you may not be able to make the change (happens to us all, believe me). After you've given it some time, one other potential option is Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard, which assigns mediators to handle small disputes. Agtx (talk) 02:02, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also I just wanted to say thank you for being willing to learn. Your attitude is good and I hope you decide to stick around. Agtx (talk) 02:03, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I plan on it! Thad caldwell (talk) 02:42, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion: should I redo my edit?

Hello. I see you contribute to Serena Williams page. Can I ask your opinion about this edit of mine? It's been reverted together with a few other earlier edits by someone else. Do you think I should redo my edit? I don't have great esperience with this kind of situation. Thanks for your suggestions. --Pinakell (talk) 20:34, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki troll

Hi Agtx,

Thanks for letting me know about the edit to our alumni. There is usually a hand-picked list of notable alumni that each university chooses to profile and he ins't one of them. Any student could add themselves as a notable alumni in that case. Any recommendations?

We also have a documented "troll" who is an expelled student who is being investigated for his social media, email and cyber attacks against the University and staff members who keeps adding in a "Controversy" section about a former President.

I'd love any suggestions or guidelines you may have on these issues.

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sabrinataylor1979 (talk • contribs) 20:38, 15 July 2015 (UTC) @Sabrinataylor1979 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sabrinataylor1979 (talk • contribs) 20:41, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sabrinataylor1979. Before we start, if you work for the university, you have to disclose that when you're working on Wikipedia pages related to your employer. We have a strict paid editing policy that's in our Terms of Use. If you look at that page, it will describe what you have to do when you're editing pages for work.

As far as the questions you've asked me, the university may have a hand-picked list for its promotional materials and that's fine. However, Wikipedia isn't here to promote the university, so that article will likely include anyone notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. Random alumni will get removed pretty quickly if they aren't notable enough to have articles of their own, but otherwise, the university doesn't control who's on that list.

For the student who you say is attacking the university, I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't readded the section you removed because it does look like it was written in a very one-sided way that violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. That said, the incident mentioned was well-covered in local press (which we consider a reliable source), so you should not be surprised when reference to it is added back in. Removing it altogether might be seen as slanting the article toward the university's point of view, which we also won't do.

In sum: 1) please don't expect this article to read like a university brochure. It won't, 2) make sure you read the information on conflicts of interest and paid editing, 3) thanks for reaching out to discuss. agtx 20:50, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the follow up-much appreciated :) Sabrinataylor1979 (talk) 20:58, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright Violation Detection - EranBot Project

A new copy-paste detection bot is now in general use on English Wikipedia. Come check it out at the EranBot reporting page. This bot utilizes the Turnitin software (ithenticate), unlike User:CorenSearchBot that relies on a web search API from Yahoo. It checks individual edits rather than just new articles. Please take 15 seconds to visit the EranBot reporting page and check a few of the flagged concerns. Comments welcome regarding potential improvements. Thanks for your help with this edit [1]. Please keep checking our bot as we are currently making improvements at Wikimania.--Lucas559 (talk) 21:13, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Agtx,

I appreciate your neutral stance. I apologize if I got carried away in the article but any frustration stems from mistreatment by the school and the word "expelled" is inaccurate, the student chose to leave. The school would have absolutely no reason to expel the student at the time even if they wanted to. I will take note of that inaccurate label.

Anyways, thanks for not being one-sided yourself. I'll repost a perfectly cited article regarding mistreatment at the school backed up by recognized journalism.

I'd appreciate any further thoughts that you may have.

Thanks.
