Nova Science Publishers Entry

Hello. I recently joined Wikipedia and did some edits on the Nova Science Publishers page. I had heard about them before and saw the entry had biased POV, punctuation, and structure problems, which I worked on from March 6 to 9.

I tried to make the entry neutral- and nonpartisan-sounding like good encyclopedias do. I did not make any fundamental changes to content. So I am quite confused why you reverted all my edits and claim "COI edits" in the Revision History.

I will post this message to the Nova Science Publishers Talk page, where maybe we can get some help from other Wikipedia editors. -- Stepintoreading (talk) 05:02, 20 March 2019 (UTC) Stepintoreading

I will post a reply on the article talk page. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:00, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Edits to Michael Roth page

Hi Cordless Larry,

Could you explain why you undid my edits to Michael Roth's personal page? While my edits may be unpopular, your dislike of what I put on there is not in itself a reason to remove the edits nor is it cause to flag me for potential vandalism. Please at least let me know what about my edits was factually incorrect, given the new information about Roth that just came out in the news. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SilentButtLovely (talk • contribs) 00:32, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

As explained in the message I left on your talk page, the information you added was unsourced. Please see WP:VERIFY and WP:BLPSOURCES. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:00, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

Just wanted to give you a heads-up that I've recreated an article at the above title, given the recent AFD. Not about the same guy - it's about an early 19th-century American folk artist. So it should be fine, but I wanted to let you know regardless. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:00, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, Ser Amantio di Nicolao. Who knows, maybe this will dissuade attempts to recreate the deleted article! Cordless Larry (talk) 08:46, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

URGENT matter regarding Sami Yusuf Wiki Page

Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sami_Yusuf

Dear Cordless,

It is patently false to call Mr Yusuf "British-Iranian" as he does not hold Iranian citizenship/dual nationality and, for the purpose of clarification he is ethnically Azeri (not Iranian). He only holds British Citizenship. Here is the link confirming this in a 2018 Q&A session with Mr Yusuf: https://twitter.com/samiyusuf/status/960207745126453248

The following link has been sourced for this false claim surrounding his name: http://www.bbc.com/persian/arts/2015/07/150729_music_sami_yusof_iran_reaction

As it is a language I do not understand I had to get it translated. It is now clear that this article is 100% false. It has apparently been around for 4 years and has only come to our attention now through Wikipedia. We have already started to contact the BBC to get this article removed and will take all necessary actions as this is defamatory.

I would like to make it absolutely clear that Mr Yusuf only has one name, that is ’Sami Yusuf’. I am astonished that Wikipedia would take a very dubious source so seriously. We can send you Mr Yusuf’s passport copy in case the following link is not sufficient: https://twitter.com/samiyusuf/status/960210578043293696

I hope this precedes some random rumors - it would be quite tragic for Wikipedia’s credibility if it was otherwise. Logically, one would assume such claims would need to be backed with hard evidence (such as actual credible documents) and not just a tabloid-style article?

Mr Yusuf is obviously a very famous person and rumors are spread about him. He is probably one of the most scandal-free artists in the world but these inaccuracies regarding his background keep popping up on your platform. This is extremely frustrating for Mr Yusuf as well as for us (his Management) since Wikipedia has become a ‘first stop’ for media outlets and we constantly have to correct and inform them about the falsehoods written on your platform. Needless to say, when it comes to things such as citizenship/nationality and name there is a legal dimension which I hope we do not underestimate.

Just a year ago we emailed Google regarding Mr Yusuf’s nationality (which was visible on the Google Graph as “British-Iranian”). Having provided the necessary information as well as supporting documents Google rectified their mistake. I hope the same courtesy can be extended to us by Wikipedia so that this matter can be resolved once and for all!

In case you need any further clarifications, I would be happy to put you in touch with Mr Yusuf’s lawyer and I am at your disposal for any further help.

We would sincerely appreciate your prompt action.

Best regards,

Please raise these points on the article talk page or at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard, Mjahangir777. I protected the article from edit warring but don't have any particular expertise about the subject. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:31, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

It's there but no one responding.

I think you can unlock the page and we can remove some CERTAIN words only. then you can lock or protect it? One word is wrong there and need to remove. Is it something you can address?

Based on many sources and articles, he is only British and word Iranian should remove from beginning of the article.
