Sorry I accidentally deleted everything. I was just trying to remove sections that I made a while ago because I felt they were no longer relevant to the current state of the page. may I just remove those specific sections?

• Not if they're part of a discussion to which other accounts responded. It's policy to respect and retain all such conversation. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 17:25, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

so if no one responded, may I remove it?

• If your additions received no responses, I don't see why not. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 17:44, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

okay, thanks for clarifying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.79.50.109 (talk) 17:45, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

• For the record, your comment here [1] was relevant, and valuable in explaining rationale for removing content. But it doesn't appear imperative to keep it. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 17:48, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Promotional account

JJMC89, does ClaireDee (talk · contribs) merit a block? A lot of self-promotional, unsourced edits. The autobiography can probably go, too. Thanks, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:17, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

• Thanks for looking at the bio, JJMC89; if I could I'd AfD it. After this edit [3] I've requested a user block at AiV. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 15:00, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

  Ad Orientem blocked the account. If you give me a nomination statement, I'll open an AfD for you. — JJMC89 (T·C) 19:41, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

  Sure, JJMC89. Insufficiently sourced vanity article for a non notable model and television presenter. Thanks, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 19:56, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Edit warring to add linkspam from own website to multiple...oh, you know

JJMC89 or Drmies, does Asafbraverman (talk · contribs) have enough of a history to merit an indefinite block? If there's doubt I can start a thread at COI or some such. Thanks, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 21:30, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Joey Marquez

Melcous or Drmies, I've spent enough time on this, and would appreciate help. Lots of unsourced content can probably get cut. Thanks, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 23:39, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Foweles in the frith

I'm looking at Moser but cannot find those direct quotes--where'd you see em? Odd, BTW, that this poem (which is in the Norton) doesn't have an article. I have a student writing on it, so I better stay a few steps ahead of him. Drmies (talk) 00:58, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

• It's from the article abstract, which may or may not render it problematic. But it was too good to pass up, and merits mention up top. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 01:03, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
  • It does, but JSTOR doesn't show me an abstract with those phrases--do you have a URL? Drmies (talk) 01:15, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

      • Wow, yeah--odd. I wonder where that abstract comes from. I'll go through the article again (which is kind of boring in places) to pull that out, maybe in other words, because it would make for a nice hook. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 01:45, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
        • Boring? The very definition of esoteric. I couldn't find a direct reference. You may have better luck googling the title and keywords like oldest love song, etc. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 01:49, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Maybe some eyes on this, Drmies and JJMC89. The COI account is constructing a hagiography, and may, sooner than later, move it into article space. I don't want to be the sole patrol. Thanks, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 02:01, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

zu(band)

Hi, actually i was just trying to fix wrong informations about the band and updated it. There are no promotional message neither advertising.I just tried to give more information since it was way too poor. Since i'm not an expert user of wikipedia it took some time to learn how to add reliable source but at the end i did. Anyway, now the page is back to the point where it was...with wrong information and not updated. How can we fix this? best — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacopo.battaglia (talk • contribs) 21:21, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

• Actually, you added a slew of unsourced and promotional content. Please use the article talk page to discuss what's inaccurate, and allow other editors without conflict of interest to remove if necessary. And divulge your conflict of interest, please.

Help editing old information?

Hi! I do not work for them but I follow who's who in the entertainment business and I now know pretty much who is repped by which agency. It's for one of my podcasts! I have some inside knowledge about books, movies, plays, and actors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Margodono (talk • contribs) 21:52, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

• Well, it's tricky to remove sourced content without offering newer sourced content to support the removal. And by tricky, I mean not permissible, silly as it may seem. We can't edit from personal knowledge, but perhaps you can provide updates with WP:RELIABLE sources. And you haven't explained the attempted removal of this content [5], which is another matter altogether. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 22:01, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, maybe you can rev/delete here--there looks to be some copyright violation. Thanks, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:44, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

I found similar content here but that can't be the source, because we had it before that date. If you could give me more details as to where you found overlapping content that would be helpful because that's all I found. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 11:53, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Diannaa, the mistake is mine. That was where I looked, not realizing it was copied from here. Thank you for checking. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 16:22, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Perhaps, Diannaa, we can get page protection? I've requested it here [6]. Persistent reversion of redirect in favor of an unsourced bio. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:27, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

  No problem. On that topic, I don't think any admin intervention at the article is needed yet. — JJMC89 (T·C) 20:22, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Working on a bio

Hello! Thank you for taking an interest in a sociologist I follow. I think you were a little too fast to undo my edits. My method is to save my work piece by piece and then I hope it will all hang together once I finish. I can prepare it further offline. However, when an article needs updating and restructuring the edit will naturally seem more major than it is. I would appreciate it if - when I continue working on this later -- you could wait a bit instead of undo-ing immediately. Thank you. Lwfriedman (talk) 03:27, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

• Hi, Lwfriedman. I'd suggest that it is wisest to work on this offline, and not add content until you can support it with WP:RELIABLE sources. This is especially important with respect to WP:BLP articles. Also, please don't delete sourced content or the corresponding references without good reason. Finally, you must divulge conflicts of interest, per WP:COI--this seems relevant to your entire edit history, and I've left notes covering all this on your talk page. Thank you, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:32, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

I can think of no better editors for clean up than Melcous and Drmies. Where I'd tiptoe through this, you will make nice, clean cuts. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

• User:PrairieKid, please look more carefully before you revert, and if you revert, give an edit summary. Did you use rollback? If so, you may be in violation of the guidelines for that tool. 88Dragons, this was not vandalism. Drmies (talk) 21:51, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Yikes. Sorry, my bad. I'll try to be better. 88Dragons (talk) 21:53, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, 88. Almost the entire article is a gross piece of promotion/personal blog. I was just getting started. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 21:55, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Sounds like work. Didn't mean to step on your toes. Good luck!88Dragons (talk) 21:57, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

I didn't mean to get in your way there, Drmies. It's quite the roadside wreck of bad editing, purple prose and boldface type. I'm leaving that garbage can fire alone for a bit. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 22:06, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

By the way, there's much to be said for reverting to this 2016 version, before the COI account botched up the article [8]. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 22:10, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

I reverted further back, about four years. Looks decent if slightly outdated. 2601:188:180:B8E0:FC30:D63:C6E4:A3E3 (talk) 22:47, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

I blocked the COI account: they were not helpful. No worries, you were not in my way--I just wanted to make that one edit. Drmies (talk) 00:21, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you kindly. 2601:188:180:B8E0:FC30:D63:C6E4:A3E3 (talk) 00:30, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

JJMC89 or Drmies (with apologies to the latter for pinging you so often lately), I'm tiring of riding herd on a COI account here. Any help with the editor and the article will be great. Thanks, 2601:188:180:B8E0:FC30:D63:C6E4:A3E3 (talk) 02:55, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

• I really don't know what to do with that article, with its poor writing and Chinese sourcing... Drmies (talk) 14:24, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

[this moved from my talk page, Drmies (talk) 14:44, 8 November 2019 (UTC)]

I graduated from Guangzhou No.2 High School but not working at it. I don't know whether I'm WP:COI, but I edited this article only thought I'm familiar with it, and want to update some old content. I attempted to search some English sources but almost all content were copied from English Wikipedia. I really sorry for my poor English, but I'm trying my best to remove the contents that may considered as promo and add some translations to the Chinese sources. If there is something inappropriate, plz let me know. Thx! --Tim Wu (talk) 14:43, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

• The acknowledgment of COI was a long time coming, and apparently was prompted by my pinging administrators. I'd removed a lot of promotional content, and TimWu removed the advert templates a couple of times before the content problem was more fully addressed. It might be best if he left the article alone for a while. Yes, Drmies, the writing was a problem, and given that we can't read the sources, which are all in Chinese, I'd wish there was someone else who could confirm their veracity and make sure there are no copyright issues. 2601:188:180:B8E0:FC30:D63:C6E4:A3E3 (talk) 15:25, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
