Regarding editing the content on BenQ's Wikipedia page

Dear Noyster, Greetings. I'm writing to discuss with you about the edits that I made to BenQ's Wikipedia page two weeks ago. There are sections on the page that I think require updates since the information about certain products are outdated or not comprehensive enough. Please find some of the examples below:

1. The first part of history misses quite a few details that can be further consolidated. 2. The product lines under the After Siemens period was not comprehensive enough and I would like to add more to make it more complete for people searching for BenQ's information. 3. The corporate restructuring part also lacks a substantial amount of information that can provide a complete picture of the process to anyone who wants to have further understandings about BenQ. 4. There are more recent developments after the period of acquiring ZOWIE Gears, and I hope to enrich the content by adding more information to it.

Please let me know if these suggestions are acceptable, and also your thoughts on these suggestions.

Thanks again.

William Yang You are welcome to improve the article but please pay attention to what I said on your talk page at the time I reverted your edit. Don't overwrite what is already there. Cite your sources, in particular those reports that come from outside the company. Write neutrally, and declare any conflict on interest you may have: Noyster (talk), 09:00, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Please give me your expert advice

I need your expert advice on the situation around The National Memo editing. It is the first time that I encounter such a strange situation and I don't know what to do.

I while ago I was asked to make several minor edits to the article as paid editor (properly stated according to WP COI editing rules). At that time it had minimal content and was no more than a stub. I’ve added some information following the structure of such articles as Salon (website), HuffPost, Politico adding infobox, some well-referenced info and improving categories. It started to look like a normal website/media article. After that it got heavily edited in two waves by one particular editor removing large chunks of well-written (ok, my personal view :)) and well-referenced information. I believe that some of these edits/deletions are extraneous and actually make the article worse/less useful to Wikipedia users. I also believe that The National Memo article has an undisputable notability. There is an interesting discussion about this at the article’s Talk page.

For me this is not about money, but rather about reinstating the truth and common sense. A lot of what is going on around this article is plain nonsense. Specifically, the reviewing editor declines to add factual and neutral info that is referenced by Adweek, The Daily Beast, The Week, Time (magazine) and Newsweek (all of them being high-quality trusted sources). Since Wikipedia's COI editing guideline suggests to propose edits at the article's talk page, it looks like we are in a dead-end here and the common sense is utterly defeated. I wonder what should I do to make at least these really minimal (normal, neutral, factual, non-advertising) edits. Is there another forum for solving such situations?

I've also created a topic about it at Project Journalim, but it is of little help. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 18:05, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Bbarmadillo: American politics? You're taking me out of my comfort zone... On what seems to be the immediate issue on how to describe The National Memo's political position, my view is that the "left-wing" description is not well cited, being cited now only to an interview with the editor at launch time 6 years ago, who in any case only said "I thought, what about a newsletter model for the center-left?" The Michelle Malkin piece, which used to be the other source cited for this description, is ... erm ... hardly a considered appraisal. Your preferred "liberal" description appears to be better supported by the The Week and Daily Beast refs you proposed, which at least seem to be intended seriously. You may quote me on that.

On the wider issues: dispute resolution procedures are available, but I'm not sure that is the way to go at present when the other editors, leaving aside the "left-wing" issue, appear to be mostly being reasonable. They have accepted some of your proposed edits and I'm afraid I would have supported most of the removals they made. Sure the National Memo reports on important issues, but what alone would make it "notable" would be comments published in reliable sources independent of the National Memo to the effect that "Hey, this National Memo thing is really making a huge impact!" and any such notice you still seem to be struggling to find. I think that's as far as I would want to be involved here: Noyster (talk), 10:40, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Very helpful (as always)! Thank you! -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 13:45, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Jaiswal

Hi Noyster I humble request to you. can you check the data in article Jaiswal Brahmin. There is whole data without reference. Can you please remove unsourced data. Atrisomkshraj (talk) 11:53, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Atrisomkshraj Another editor has removed the poorly referenced text you complain of. The article is now on my watchlist. By the way, you have been in touch with different editors but you don't seem to have posted to the article's own talk page, which is the primary venue for discussion of article content: Noyster (talk), 18:02, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

The sultan center update

Dear Noyster,

we are trying to add new information for The sultan center kuwait page, but you have removed our update, can you explain what is the reasons for this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sultancenter (talk • contribs) 12:14, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

I removed recent additions to the article on The Sultan Center, made by an unregistered editor under the heading of Sultan Center Online. These additions contained the words Best Online Grocery Shopping Store & home delivery in Kuwait just one click a way, followed by a list of product lines with links to different parts of your website. Such material is regarded as promotion or advertising, and is not accepted on Wikipedia. It should also be understood that Wikipedia is a global encyclopedia with most of its readers thousands of miles from the Gulf area.

I have to add that the article as a whole is much below our normal standards, lacking any reference to sources independent of your company, and indeed the only citations are to a ten-year-old version of your website.

Finally, if you are acting on behalf of The Sultan Center, you should declare your conflict of interest as explained here, and instead of attempting to edit the article yourself you should suggest any amendments on the article's talk page. Regards: Noyster (talk), 13:26, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for volunteering

Cool. Glad to meet you.

What I'd like you to try out is SearchSuite.

It's a user script, and therefore, you will need to install it on your account.

What it does is modify the search results page, giving the user more control. It provides menu items to hide and show various components of the search results. It even has a menu item to alphabetically sort, and unsort, the results. And there's a menu feature to make it easier to copy/paste the topics into lists and outlines.

The more search results on the page, the more useful the tool.

The manual explains a trick on how to make Wikipedia's search show up to 5,000 results at a time, rather than the 500 view maximum.

See the manual and installation instructions at User talk:The Transhumanist/SearchSuite.js#Description / instruction manual for SearchSuite.js. But, before you do that, read the next line. ;)

Please post all feedback, questions, and comments at User talk:The Transhumanist/SearchSuite.js#Discussions.

Thank you for your curiosity.    The Transhumanist 19:51, 24 February 2018 (UTC)i

Some questions for you...

1. Did it work?
2. Did you find it useful?
3. Did it have problems?
4. Anything else?

I look forward to your reply.    The Transhumanist 22:51, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Well actually The Transhumanist, I posted earlier today on the page to which you directed me just above ("Please post..."): Noyster (talk), 22:55, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

How long does it take for rejected articles to be reviewed?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Thale_Katlego_Letheo

I had submitted an article above - the editor provided some really constructive notes - there simply wasn't enough media coverage of this person. I sought feedback and made some adjustments. How long will it be to have the article looked at again? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RSAMountaineer (talk • contribs) 05:54, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

RSAMountaineer Thank you for asking, but if you look at the message box currently on your draft, it explains that the Articles for Creation process is heavily backlogged. Your draft was declined there on 15 February and you re-submitted it with changes on the same day. You could bypass the process and make the article "go live" yourself (move the draft to mainspace as we say) but that would place it at risk of being deleted altogether if judged not suitable as a Wikipedia article. At Articles for Creation, the worst that could happen would be that the draft was declined again, with advice given on what further improvements were needed. Everyone is naturally keen to see their new article come up on Wikipedia, but on the whole I would recommend patience until the page gets reviewed again at Articles for Creation. (Just to add that I don't work there myself). Good luck: Noyster (talk), 09:51, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Can you please revert vandalism?

Hi. I've noticed that The Secret of the Old Clock has been vandalised by the unknown IP address. I don't think it makes much sense to notify the user who did this to the article. I tried to revert edits, but failed. Looks like I don't have enough rights. Can you please look into it? -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 19:08, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

The vandalism has since been removed by another editor. Not sure what the problem was here Bbarmadillo, as the article was not under any form of protection and any editor is allowed, and encouraged, to revert clearly vandal edits. The basic tool is the "Undo" button on the page history or on a diff. Here is the guide to reverting vandalism. Hoping this answers it for you: Noyster (talk), 19:15, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. Dunno, why the undo button didn't work. :( -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 20:30, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

no wp:self published source

Per the discussion at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Albums/Archive_46#Piero_Scaruffi_-_Final_Verdict_on_using_him_as_a_source_in_reviews there's a very clear consensus here that Scaruffi is not to be used as a source in music/album articles in any capacity. So please, do not add his opinions anymore. It is a wp:self published source. Since this is a long running dispute, any contributor warned by the situation and who doesn't respect it, would encounter sanctions and could be blocked from editing. Thanks. You've been informed because you used this source here. Woovee (talk) 01:19, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you Woovee for this warm welcome to WikiProject Albums. If the reference is considered invalid, please remove it. There is no need to go round issuing threats. I would add that if those active in your project had updated the article in question at any time since about 2006, I would not have found it necessary to attempt to do so: Noyster (talk), 08:21, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Well when people come to Wikipedia to publicise themselves... there are some that manage it, but it requires time and effort to learn how to work the system, so their pages stay up, and they need to avoid antagonising others and getting themselves blocked: Noyster (talk), 21:14, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Pirates of the Caribbean movies budget

I'm Terry Rossio, the screenwriter and the esecutive producer of Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Stop to made Fake news about the budget. Terry Rossio (talk) 19:08, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Sorry Mr Rossio but you're not going about this the right way. In view of your admitted conflict of interest you should not be editing these articles yourself, and you certainly shouldn't scatter terms like "fake news" around without excellent grounds. Instead, my advice is to go to the talk page of the articles you wish to amend, and make your case in a reasoned manner, explaining why you consider the information to be incorrect and quoting reliable published sources in support of the changes you wish to make: Noyster (talk), 21:58, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Sir Someone threating Violence And Abusing And Said it He is Worker Staff on Wikipedia

03:28, 20 March 2018 (UTC)Pradeep Suryavanshi (talk) Sir You Can Check if You Have A Any Doubt On Khaga Article Someone Abusing me To Dont Change Write Think Its All About My History I Am The Blood line Of Maharaja Khadagsen Or Khadag singh And The Ark is A Synonym Of Surya In Ancient period Sanskrit Language Ar Used Everywhere thats Why Some Reasearcher Write Ark But The Fact is They Call Surya in History You Can Check it

History

The town of Khaga is said to have been established by a brave ruler belonging to the martial Suryavanshi clan, named Maharaja Khadagsen (also referred to as Khadag Singh). Maharaja Khadagsen Was The Son Of Maharaja Dalpatsen . Maharaja Dalpatsen Belongs to Raja Kanaksen Family And Raja Kanaksen Was a Bloodline Of Raja Kush . And Raja Kush Was The Son Of Lord Rama . The Suryavanshi who ruled doaba region post Gupta period, came to control large parts of Fatehpur district (including Ayah and Khaga) and parts of Allahabad region under Khadagsen's rule. It is also said that Suryavanshi kshatriya (also referred to as 'Ark The Synonym Of Surya rulers conducted Dashashwamegha yajnas (Horse sacrifices) in the doab region (area between Ganges and Yamuna) to prove their supremacy. Their power decayed with the rise of competing powers in the form of other Rajputs and Muslims. Fort Was was situated near Kukri kukra lake but is now in ruins, however many people say that there was a fort there. Many stories about Maharaja Khadagsen were destroyed during the British Raj, or by singrour Dariyao Singh. That's the reason the history was lost.
