Thank you for the quick response. Yes, there is a reference to a reliable published source included. However, the content of the referenced source does not match what is presented in the article, which results in the snippet itself being "unsourced or poorly sourced", besides other concerns. Maybe I am interpreting the policy wrongly. If so, I will be waiting for your response on the article's talk page. Thank you. |

Thanks, you just saved me many extra tilde hits :) I may keep doing it tho, since someone once complained that I didn't. Occasionally it is easier to go with the flow than try to retrain people ... have a nice weekend (almost) !

Edit for Hero Cycles
Ashish.t7 (talk) 05:59, 3 January 2018 (UTC) I have seen your message on my Talk Page. Couldn't really understand on violation of guidelines as I took content from web & also verified each detail from public source news etc. Please do suggest how can I make it better as I think without defining group structure, it gives incorrect view to reader.
- Ashish.t7 I suggest reading some of the links I included on your talk page as several parts of your edits such as "Hero’s inspiring journey is backed up by determination and dynamism of its top leadership, which flows down the line unceasingly." Make it sound like you are advertising for the company. Are you connected to Hero Cycles at all? Greyjoy talk 06:05, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
Harry Landers
Respectfully guessing that less is more. Gratuitous info about commonness of surname and meaning? Hoping to be less of a magpie myself -- if brave enough to attempt another Wiki edit. BTW, the Russian spelling came from the source cited by me, and not the obituary cited. Thank you. This is my first time composing a TALK PAGE message. 72.129.236.87 (talk) 06:43, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
- 72.129.236.87, I should have explained my reasoning in the edit summary so my apologies for that. Yes, it was a "less is more" sort of thing, please feel free to keep editing as we can always use more contributors, and this is a good talk page message. Keep up the good work. Greyjoy talk 06:47, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
Edit for Acts of the Apostles
I made edits on the page for Acts of the Apostles that featured original research and speculation. Prior to my edits the article suggested that the work is an answer to a theological question, while the Christian community has opposing beliefs. I agree my edits were not based on sound research, however I think the article should make it clear that the book is regarded highly within certain communities. Also, there seems to be a fair bit of assumption within the "researched" aspects of the article. The writer assumes features of ancient texts that are not present in the Gospels (e.g. the events are not necessarily chronological in Mark, have interval breaks in Luke, etc.). Forgive me if I am wrong, but many, if not all, of the "outright [contradictions]" can be explained very easily by somebody well versed in New Testament history and theology. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mv23z (talk • contribs) 10:38, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
- Mv23z, I appreciate that you are attempting to improve Wikipedia. However Wikipedia has strict rules when it comes to original research, for these sort of edits you would require reliable sources. If you can find a reliable reference from somebody well versed in New Testament history and theology you are welcome to add it. You are also welcome to discuss these edit on the article's talk page. I hope this helps. Greyjoy talk 11:00, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
Sources needed for Days of the Year pages
I see you recently accepted a pending change to January 26.
You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. I've gone ahead and un-accepted this edit and backed it out.
Please do not accept additions to day of year pages where no direct source has been provided on that page. The burden to provide sources for additions to these pages is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 01:46, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for letting me know Toddst1, I was unaware of the change. Will keep that in mind. Greyjoy talk 05:18, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
This is a medical illness new to the world mental illnesses and to medical professions
You have no idea what you erased is at the university of Dalhousie are still stud in the illness it's usually a mixture of ADHD , General anxiety disorder and bipolar as we'll please take this serious As we are just letting the medical world know a new mental illness Tinkie tubby (talk) 05:43, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- Tinkie tubby, you should have no problem providing reliable sources in that case. Greyjoy talk 05:44, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
Nirav Modi
It is a confirmed source from various platforms which don't need to be cited, as far the resources has Ben confirmed they have been collected from The Times of India and Mumbai Mirror. Revert the charges and let the 2018 investigation be on topic. Rekonedth (talk) 10:48, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- Rekonedth As per WP:RS "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources", if you can find some of these reliable sources you are welcome to reference them with your edits. Until then controversial unsourced additions will be removed as per Wikipedia rules. Greyjoy talk 10:51, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
Greyjoy The source is a reliable and a near to perfect source as confirmed by the law officials as well as the CBI. They have confirmed that Nirav Modi has done the fraud and are looking into a further detailed published inquiry for the same. As for the media plus reliableness of the factual source goes it has been taken into consideration that even the news, media, published magazines have unearthed the money laundering case against Nirav Modi. If you have any evidence which opposes the source please put that forward in order.Rekonedth (talk). —Preceding undated comment added 11:00, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- Rekonedth I have no problem with the additions now that a source has been provided. The only issue I had was the additions without any references. I have also added a source for the article. Greyjoy talk 11:26, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
I think the problem has been resolved. Rekonedth (talk) 11:29, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

About KSFE's page
Hi
I have added some text to KSFE's wikipedia page in the History section and removed some part as well. It seems like you have removed it. While I accept that the part I added was not pertaining to the History section, it was factually true and relevant information nevertheless. Can it be added to a new section?
Disclosure: I work in KSFE.
Glancingcliffs (talk) 01:56, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
- Glancingcliffs, unfortunately I had to remove a large amount of text from the article due to copyright violations. While the text you added was not a violation it was added in the middle of the copyrighted text so it was removed. If you want information added to the article I advise discussing it on the article's talk page as since you work in KSFE you have a conflict of interest. Greyjoy talk 10:41, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
For Britain
I notice that the For Britain page is contantly subject to slanderous comment by Wikipedia contributors. The party is - as declared - neither left nor right. If Wikipedia wishes to retain any credibility, then defamatory content must not be allowed to remain in situ. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mariuswaskilledbybarbarians (talk • contribs) 06:47, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
- Mariuswaskilledbybarbarians, if you believe that the content is an issue please discuss on the article's talk page. The removal of sourced information will most likely just be reverted. Greyjoy talk 06:50, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
- What they claim their position is and who they aim to represent is useful information, but what their actual effects, constituency, etc are is even more important. And that can only be based on WP:SECONDARY sources. As others have said, WP:RS is a pretty strong guideline that supports our WP:V policy. DMacks (talk) 06:51, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
Dan Tatarsky
The article Daniel Tatarsky has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fails to show notability as per WP:ENTERTAINER
- Cannot even remember doing this one: am I creating articles in my sleep
Ann Kirkpatrick
The text I deleted was misleading/wrong for the following reasons: 1. The first statement that "Kirkpatrick has proposed seven bills regarding veterans" is true. 2. The second statement that out of those 7 bills "five of which have passed" that's wrong. If you go to the govtrack website that is cited you'll see, if you filtered the sponsored bills to just those enacted, that only 3 bills she has ever introduced have passed. Out of those three only one is a veterans bill. Even if you consider bills that at least passed the House you'll see only 3 veterans bills are listed. Not to mention the wording "five of which have passed" is misleading as it fails to specify what chamber has it passed or if had been enacted. 3. The two numbered bills mentioned in the section to have been among the bills passed, never passed. One of those bills is not even listed on that cited page.
I won't delete the section again. But I will rewrite it to be more accurate and reflective of the information contained on the cited page. If you are not politically motivated and respectfully considered my arguments you will not undo my changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uadude1 (talk • contribs) 05:39, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- Uadude1, Now that you have clearly explained the issues with the text you deleted I have no issue with your edits, appreciate you taking the time to lay it out point by point. Greyjoy talk 05:45, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
I have edited the freediving certification and I have added links to the official AIDA international page, for certification requirements
way you have to undo them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexursu (talk • contribs) 13:15, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- Because Alexursu external links should not be put into the body of the article. Greyjoy talk 01:19, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
Sarah McDaniel
If it were not for this alleged, and CONFIRMED FAKE!, heterochromia, sarah would have a page of its own? I do not think so, it's a girl like there are so many, and having eyes of a different color, and it's not her case !, it's not a talent or something that is enough to have a page of its own. Some people are so dumb to believe that the color of their eyes is real ... it is so obvious that they are COLORED CONTACT LENSES, and all the photos posted, including video, show it widely. I do not therefore understand why they are not valid as proofs, what is necessary, holy spirit? She is only a POSER who wants other people thinks “she's so different and beautiful”. No. In addition, it seems that she is also HOMOPHOBIC, which makes her a person even more false and unpleasant…! At last, it's interesting that there is linked her instagram profile, almost an invitation to follow her… However I repeat: how do you (referred to anyone) not understand from the things posted that she lies? And do not bring out the talk of montage and various crap. If even the words and images provided by his father aren't reliable, I do not know what you need... In addition to the fact that even in the photos not posted by him that IT'S OBVIOUS ALSO FOR A BLIND PERSON THAT SHE WEARS COLORED COSMETIC LENS. She's a pathological liar and will continue to lie.
Maybe I'm a bit bitter, but I am bothered by false people who claim to be what is not. It's simply ANNOYING!!
PS: I didn't find the discussion page you referred to.
Hoax11 (talk) 05:06, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
Now I found it and I read it, but in all honesty it seems to me a BIG BULLSH-1-T. Even the so-called "reliable sources" can sin of naivete, right? So since an "important" source says something, that thing is surely and unquestionably true? Please. I understand that maybe someone is "ashamed", or simply distrusts, from "non-canonical" sources, but why do they deny the evidence only because the evidences come from non-canonical sources? Again, please...
Hoax11 (talk) 05:28, 22 April 2018 (UTC)++
This source say that her eyes are hazel, therefore they may have SLIGHTLY cleared during growth (slightly, because they look like dark hazel/brown), but certainly she doesn't have heterochromia...!!! ---> http://archive.is/TbCti
Hoax11 (talk) 05:40, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
Maybe I could add this information WITHOUT DELETING those that I previously inserted, in consideration of the aforementioned.
Hoax11 (talk) 05:52, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
- Hoax11, wikipedia relies on reliable sources and especially when it comes to biographies of living people, an edit as controversial as the one you are making needs to be discussed on the article's talk page first so a consensus can be reached. Greyjoy talk 11:00, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
Creating Official Wikipedia pages for Celebrities
Hello Greyjoy!
I would like to know what the process was to create an official wikipedia page for celebrities. Please advise.
Thank you,
LaWr123 (talk) 05:41, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- LaWr123, I would advise creating a draft, that way you can slowly build up the article and people will know that it is still a work in progress. Information on how to create a draft can be found here. An outline of the process of building an article can be read here. I hope this helps. If you have any further questions just let me know. Greyjoy talk 05:50, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
Okay! So there’s no special portal to go through for celebrities? It’s the same as creating a page for anyone?
Thank you for answering so quickly — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaWr123 (talk • contribs) 16:20, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- LaWr123, the process for creating the article is no different. However here is some information about Wikipedia's requirements for biographies of living people. Greyjoy talk 05:05, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Thank you so much!
Hiroyuki Nishimura Edit
You have made a mistake in your succinct evaluation of my unfinished edit and I am gathering sources as I type this message for that article. I'm gathering links and to my knowledge, I can not yet provide screenshots in the form of uploaded images. The content of /b/ is too graphic to be linked to Wikipedia so I will link the /pol/-based content with the news articles and the people of Wikipedia can decide for themselves what to believe. I'm very aware of what I am doing and every word in my edit is the truth which is backed by actual, objective evidence which I can and will provide, thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Exposing4chan (talk • contribs) 06:55, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- Exposing4chan, try to make sure that the references you provide meet Wikipedia's requirements for reliable sources. Greyjoy talk 06:57, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
Edits for Elgin School District U-46
Hi Greyjoy, Thank you so much for your notes. I'm the summer intern at the school district's communications department, and one of my projects is updating the wikipedia page. I didn't realize that I couldn't copy/paste from the district website, so thanks for letting me know! I'll start working on paraphrases and upload those once they're ready. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Studiousstrwbry (talk • contribs) 12:27, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
- Studiousstrwbry, I am glad that I was able to help. If you are working for the Elgin School District you may want to read about Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines, also the Organizations FAQ might be worth a quick glance. Greyjoy talk 12:49, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
Kartik aaryan
Are you fucking mad Joven salvaje (talk) 06:03, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
- First of all Joven salvaje, accusing people of being "fucking mad" is not welcome on Wikipedia. In relation to the Kartik Aaryan article, your edits were unreferenced and as such were reverted, for information on why and how we reference information you can follow the link I left on your talk page. Continued unreferenced additions will be reverted. Greyjoy talk 06:07, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
Real birthdate is 1988 dude he said it himself in one interview ....u can check it out Joven salvaje (talk) 06:06, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
- "in one interview" which you have not linked to is not a reliable source. Greyjoy talk 06:07, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
Not only one interview many times his birthdate is stated as 1988 in many newspaper articles mainly in times of india and bombay times u can check it out Joven salvaje (talk) 06:10, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
- Joven salvaje I would be happy to check it out, once a reference or link is provided. The reference provided in the article disagrees with 1988 being his birthdate, and so far it is the only reference that has been provided. If you can link to an article showing a different birthdate I would be happy to look into it.Greyjoy talk 06:17, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
I dont remember the exact date of that article ....but i am damn sure about this birthdate....it was clearly stated as 1988. Joven salvaje (talk) 06:19, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
- Joven salvaje Wikipedia requires reliable sources, an article you remember that is unable to be verified is not a reliable source. Greyjoy talk 06:21, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
Just search it on google the second article is there named "everything is falling into place" of mumbai mirror read it completely you will get my point Joven salvaje (talk) 06:23, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
- Joven salvaje, I have linked to the news report on the Kartik Aaryan talk page, please discuss and reach a consensus there. Greyjoy talk 06:52, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
Help for uploading pictures
Hi I was wondering about the copyright on photos found around the internet. I looked at the Wikipedia Commons page about Upload Wizard but I wasn't sure about what photos were copyright. Am i just allowed to use any picture online if it has no labels about copyright? Also how do we tell if the content is older than 150 years?
I'm sorry if your not the right person to ask but I didn't know who else to ask or what articles to look at that cover this
Edith Edits Your Poor Mistakes (talk) 09:13, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- Edith Edits Your Poor Mistakes, I am not super familiar with the rules in regards to copyright as I have not done much image work here on Wikipedia, the editors over at the help desk would be able to answer your question much better than I could. Greyjoy talk 09:29, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
Ok thanks Edith Edits Your Poor Mistakes (talk) 09:38, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
Paolo Guerrero profile
Hi, I'm new at wiki, also my mother language is Spanish. I edited a line at Guerrero's profile, deleting the word "cocaine" of the sentence because Guerrero didn't give positive for ingest "cocaine", he gave a "adverse analytical result" as a result of contamination with coca tea. I'm pharmaceutical chemist and the terminology can be misinterpreted. All this you can check with official CAS, FIFA and WADA sources. Greetings. Xxvicsebxx (talk) 04:06, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- Xxvicsebxx, thank you for explaining why you removed "cocaine" from the article, however Wikipedia needs reliable sources for edits and the article has sourced references which state that he tested positive for cocaine. So that is why the cocaine was reintroduced to the article. Greyjoy talk 05:17, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
Alpha Phi Omega (Philippines)
Please look at Alpha Phi Omega (Philippines) and let me know if any issues for referencing you had with it have been dealt with.Naraht (talk) 17:46, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
- Naraht, at a quick glance it looks good :) Greyjoy talk 02:21, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
Can you keep an eye on him?
I know you welcomed this editor. Perhaps you want to keep an eye on him? He is already incorrectly reverting other editors. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:EggRoll97&diff=843122774&oldid=842890880
That's not good. And when I left a note, he just deleted it (maybe he is a former editor?). --2604:2000:E010:1100:91B6:15E1:BB7C:A231 (talk) 01:29, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- 2604:2000:E010:1100:91B6:15E1:BB7C:A231, just had a quick glance through EggRoll97's edits and most of them are good contributions, not sure why they removed that specific name in the example you provided but it appears to be in good faith. Also EggRoll is well within their rights to remove comments from their user talk. Try to keep in mind that this appears to be a new-ish editor and perhaps taking a less accusatory tone would encourage them to reply to your messages. Greyjoy talk 12:35, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
I have attempted to make good contributions. As for the two reverts I made that were disagreed with, I have not contested them, as I can see the reverter's point, and I accept their logic. I am a new-ish editor, but I have been learning about Wikipedia for a while before I formally joined. I do not wish to cause any problems, nor do I wish to start an argument. I apologize if any of my current or future edits are wrong, and I invite anyone to revert them back if they believe I have made an error. I am a human, and I make mistakes, and I want those mistakes to be pointed out to me. Thank you. (Extra note: I didn't respond to the messages left on my talk page BECAUSE I didn't wish to cause the aforementioned conflict) EggRoll97 (talk) 12:40, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
Thanks and a question
Hi! This is super late but thanks for the welcome, much appreciated. I have a minor question on style/content - should most B/A/Good articles have at least one citation per paragraph? This is what I've been told, but articles like SDS-PAGE don't, especially in some of the more technical sections. originalmesshow u doin that busta rhyme? 09:03, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- Hello Originalmess. I don't have a lot of experience in the Good Article project but the general criteria can be found here. SDS-PAGE has one or two sections which could use a reference which may be why it isn't listed as a "good" article. Greyjoy talk 11:19, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
Thank You for the welcome
Hi Greyjoy, thank you very much for the kind introduction. I do plan on staying with Wikipedia, and helping to make it better. I am very new at all of this; it is quite overwhelming to see the massive amount of information available. Reading these pages seem like a foreign language to me. I'm hoping to make as few mistakes as possible, and learn about editing. Once again, thank you so much! NDP11731 (talk) 07:20, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Edits on Kavithalayaa
Hi Greyjoy
Thank you for your explanation. I have been authorized by Kavithalayaa to make edits to the Wikipedia page. I removed the history intentionally as it doesn't capture much about the history of company and merely highlights some derogatory aspects which are factually inconsistent.
I will be updating the history with a much broader outline to present the company facts more accurately.
Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mailmeg100 (talk • contribs) 07:16, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
- Mailmeg100 if you have a relationship with Kavithalayaa you may have a conflict of interest, I will post a message on your talk page with more information. Greyjoy talk 07:18, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Many thanks for your advice Greyjoy. I'm new on here and wasn't aware I couldn't use the name of the company I work for in my username. I have just submitted a username change as suggested. Folly Farm Official (talk) 10:07, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

2011 Fire AMRI Hospitals
Hi Greyjoy. Thank you for letting me know about the changes.Kindly note that a page [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=AMRI_hospital_fire&redirect=no]] was created and a merger was done. This page was again created, and information was added in a new page. The same user has been making the changes on this.
- Vrnthmsn, thank you for taking the time to explain. If you feel that the 2011 AMRI Hospital fire page is not needed (or should be merged with the AMRI Hospitals article) you should discuss this on the article's talk page, not blank the article. This new article is more in depth than the old one and deletions or merging should be discussed. Greyjoy talk 12:44, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the help. Will do accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vrnthmsn (talk • contribs) 13:23, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
Thank you!
I would like to thank you for editing the Infobox of Bishop Labayen. On another note, the size of the Infobox returned to the default (I think). I would like it to be of the same size as other Infoboxes as you did. How can I do it? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Br. John Rafael (talk • contribs) 06:29, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
- Br. John Rafael I have fixed the infobox size, when linking to another Wikipedia article you don't need to copy the url, just put the name of the article inside of a wikilink as explained here. Greyjoy talk 06:34, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
respectful request
Hi Greyjoy,
I made some changes to my wiki page today for personal privacy reasons. I'm experiencing great difficulty and upheaval in my personal life and needed to edit my page in order to deflect possible personal complications. With respect, please don't undo the changes that I have made. They were quite necessary and not in any way an attempt to denigrate or otherwise harm anyone Quite the opposite.
thank you, Barry Carl

Wellyn dowd (talk) 11:39, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
- Wellyn dowd, Wikipedia uses information found in reliable sources so anything on Wikipedia is already easily found on the internet. That being said, half the information you removed was unreferenced and the other half doesn't seem largely notable enough to be included so I am happy to leave it removed from the page. However I can't speak on behalf of other editors who may disagree and reinstate the information you removed. Greyjoy talk 11:43, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
Reverting
I saw the change to R. K. Narayan you made, but just before, an IP deleted content without explaining why. Just letting you know before I do the revert. TheConnorMan (talk) 09:04, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
- TheConnorMan, all good. Appreciate you letting me know. Greyjoy talk 09:05, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
Recent Edit Rejects
Hello!
I appreciate your willingness to take time and educate me as a Wiki neophyte editor on the right way to add new page content. Please note your rejects of a link I tried to embed from another article was my very first attempt of that kind; and only the 2nd or 3rd for all time, as I use wikis to learn -not teach others about subjects.

Hi Greyjoy,
I did misinterpret the "d" as divorce and not death, but I noticed that while you were answering my post and so I ended up with a conflict when I tried to change the question. His wife did NOT die in 2003. HE died in 2003, so they were married until "his death in 2003" and I think that should be made clear. Because the way it stands, it looks like SHE died in 2003. In fact, she is very much alive and going on talk shows to talk about the new movie about his life.
But I wasn't able to figure out how to edit my talk so that it would come out after your response. I am very new to the Wiki editing game.
Regards

How to add details for a new company
Dear Greyjoy,
I am R.Sharma from India. There is a very popular mobile invitation app in Indian Market with name Instaphone. While searching instaphone on google, wikipedia shows it as Pakistani mobile communication company which actually does not exit now. That Pakistani company has been shut down long back. In India people are getting wrong information about their popular product. I suppose there needs to have some corrections. Pls suggest.
Thanks' R.Sharma Lines4raj (talk) 07:49, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
- Lines4raj, if you wanted to create an app for the Indian app you would need to create a new article as the existing article is about the Pakistan company. Information on how to create an article can be found here, but make sure the app meets the notability requirements for software or it may be deleted. Greyjoy talk 08:29, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

About the page Neerav Bavlecha
Hi Greyjoy!! I'm Ninette. I'm a bit new to wikipedia but I do not believe in providing unreliable informatuon on such a platform. I Myself is a person who believes wikipedia is a platform of reliable informational. Pls be patient enough to read this whole msg and kindly reply to me. I saw that his date of birth and age was wrongly given on wiki. It was given as 16th aug 1986 which is wrong. Now why I tell it is wrong is bcoz I own a magazine in which his interview came and in it his age was given as 26( as of 2015). So practically his age shud be 29 now. That is why I changed the yaer of birth from 1986 to 1988. If u want u can search for Neerav Bavlecha's interview to Marhrubhoomi Star n Style and u will find the e-mag. I hope u understand. Try googling for it. And I seriously don't know how to add a citation or a proof as such. It will be grately appreciated if u wud tell me how to so that i can put up a citation( or u can do it aftr u come to know the truth). Regards, Ninette Catherine Ninette Catherine (talk) 12:10, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
- Ninette Catherine, I appreciate you taking the time to explain your edit. I had a look for the magazine however I was not able to find a copy online which I could use as a reference. If you have it on hand you can reference it using the reference style provided here, I hope this helps. If you have any problems with the reference let me know and I will see if I can help further. Greyjoy talk 12:40, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
Actually I am new to this wiki platform and I don't know java languaging. And u can't read an e-version of the star n style mag bcoz for reading u have to buy it first. I wish I could send u a pic of the mag I have in hand so that u wud believe me...!! Ninette Catherine (talk) 13:54, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
And I would like to know whether you removed the info abt his parents because of the same reason. I got the info from the same Mag 'Mathrubhoomi Star n style 2015'. And I would like to know why u did not delete his sister's name (Dimple Bavlecha) which was added by me.... Ninette Catherine (talk) 15:17, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
- Ninette Catherine I am unable to reference something if I can't read it to confirm it, if you are unable to reference the magazine then for now it will have to remain out of the article as Wikipedia requires verifiable sources. You are correct that I removed his parents name for the same reason, I missed his sister's name but that has now been removed. Greyjoy talk 05:14, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
Oh...okay. But I would love to know from u one last thing. Why didn't you remove the year of birth in the first case ( i mean, before i changed it to 1988 it was 1986 on wiki). Well I just wanted all the people who use wiki to know that his age is 29 and not 31 and that his year of birth is not 1986 but 1988. As I saw a wrong info on wiki, I thought of changing it to the correct info according to the paperback magazine I own. Thank u for replying to me patiently..! Ninette Catherine (talk) 06:59, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
- Ninette Catherine I hadn't seen the previous year of birth until I noticed your edit, which is why I had not removed it previously. I am glad that I have been able to answer your questions. Greyjoy talk 07:02, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
How to fix error
HI Greyjoy - Sorry for any mistakes--I'm new at this. But I'm not sure why the page says it might be a fan page or something. I can't see what the specific problem is or how to fix it. Any advice very welcome.
Thank you

- Areaman17, as explained on the article's talk page under the heading "Fan POV tag":
- "Recent large additions to this article contain a lot of puffery and promotional language. Please see WP:NPOV and WP:NOTPROMOTION, and please don't remove the tag until the issues have been addressed and there is a WP:CONSENSUS that the article is neutral."

Soap&Skin
Hi, I'm trying to do a major edit/clean up of the Soap&Sin wikipedia page on behalf of the artist but I keep getting knocked back. Is there any advice you can give me that will enable the next time I try to update be successful ? thanks Wikwikwikiwiki (talk) 09:11, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
- Wikwikwikiwiki, the reason your edits are getting reverted is because your edits are unreferenced and promotional. If you are editing on behalf of the artist you also have a conflict of interest. Would I be right in saying that you previously edited the article under the user names Reviloneimak & SOLFO? Greyjoy talk 09:22, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
Talk: Hector Camacho, Jr.
I am new to Wikipedia and learning. I tried to make some edits to the Hector Camacho, Jr. article, but you (Greyjoy) said that they needed citations. Hector Camacho, Jr. asked me to help him with the edits since there are several personal items in the article that are not true. Am I allowed to do the edits as long as I have a proper citation? If not, who can? I have never done anything on Wikipedia prior to this. I am not connected with the usernames you mentioned (for example, Reviloneimak, SOLFO, Dark Goldenrod). Thank you. Chabela7 (talk) 01:36, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- Chabela7, you are correct that the reason I reverted your edits is because they were unsourced. Wikipedia requires reliable sources for edits, especially in regards to biographies of living people. Because you know Hector Camacho, Jr. Wikipedia considers you to have a conflict of interests. The guide to conflicts of interest will have information on how you can suggest edits to the article. I hope this helps. Greyjoy talk 05:31, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- Also, at no point have I asked if you had any connection to other editors. That was in response to a different editor in regards to a completely separate matter. Greyjoy talk 05:33, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
Amigurumi & such
That anon has appeared about nine times so far and added a large amount of "references" to five articles. 44 refs were added to Drifting (motorsport). Many of the links don't seem to work. Jytdog summed it up on Nature therapy with horrible pop culture sites about history. no thanks The five articles have been PP and may need PP again. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 07:03, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know, I had trimmed down the stack of references posted on Drifting and posted a message on the user's talk page before noticing the pattern in the history and reverting the rest of their edits. Will keep an eye on it and request protection if it happens again. Greyjoy talk 07:14, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Update on Morgan Finlay undone
Hi Greyjoy I noticed you undid my changes due to "conflict of interest". Any chance we can get those changes done? Morgan IS my source of information here, he asked me to put some information up to date. It is not our intention to do any advertising or giving false news.
I would really appreciate it if we could find a solution we both like. Thanks and regards, has_vier — Preceding unsigned comment added by Has vier (talk • contribs) 12:05, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Article Draft in Review
Hello Greyjoy!
Hope all is well. I created a draft 6 weeks ago and it has yet to be reviewed. Is there a way to expedite the process? Please advise.

Nikolai was 100% Croat
You'd rather go with a fake article that reports lies because it follows Wiki's protocol than inquire and be a genius like I am. I never bought Nikolai's lies. Everything indiciates 100% croatian descent. HELLO? Ur article is garbage. Says his middle name is Nikolai, yet his obituary has his name as Josip H. Second his mother was Dragica Tomasevic, not Volkoff, another demonstratable lie. Also says his brother is Luka, when obituary only mentions brothers Tihomir and Ante. Luka may be a cousin. What else? Hes not the first one to make up lies about his background and u just buy it. Get out of here and go fix his article.
- I am sure a "genius" like yourself can understand Wikipedia's requirements for reliable sources. Greyjoy talk 07:09, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
Mamamoo controversy snippet removal
Hello, I am a little confused about the situation in Mamamoo. I've demonstrated that the recently added snippet is incorrect and in conflict even with the referenced source itself. According to the Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy, "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be supported by an inline citation to a reliable, published source. Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.". Why is the default position to keep the newly added snippet pending discussion instead of the other way around?
You mentioned to "Wait for there to be a consensus reached on the article's talk page" – how exactly will this consensus be reached? If no one reacts to my concerns on the talk page, will the new demonstrably incorrect information stay up indefinitely?
Thank you.
- Ok so my reply to this will mostly take place on the article's talk page. However the short version is: These statements are supported by reliable published sources as per Wikipedia's requirements, which is why several editors have challenged the removal of the information without prior discussion. I will go into more detail in my reply on the talk page, however this may take a bit of time as I am not really at the computer at the moment. Greyjoy talk 10:52, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for the quick response. Yes, there is a reference to a reliable published source included. However, the content of the referenced source does not match what is presented in the article, which results in the snippet itself being "unsourced or poorly sourced", besides other concerns. Maybe I am interpreting the policy wrongly. If so, I will be waiting for your response on the article's talk page. Thank you.
