User talk:Yunshui

User:Saqiwa

I understand why the ANI was closed in that way, but the WP:CONSPIRACY-like response you got to your post on Saqiwa’s user talk and then their subsequently copying-and-pasting of that thread onto various article talk pages kinda further indicates more of a WP:RGW approach to editing than a WP:HERE. Saqiwa’s been advised not to copy-paste entire discussions from one talk to another like this before, but for some reason they continue to do so. — Marchjuly (talk) 06:31, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Posting on those pages is a very obvious violation of his topic ban, so he now has a couple of days off to enjoy. I fear you may have been right about the imposition of the TBAN being equivalent to an indef, but the consensus wasn't solidly in favour of a block and I wanted to at least give him the chance to avoid taking a permanent vacation from editing... Yunshui ^雲_水 07:13, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

I think that they might be able to contribute positively if they just stopped assuming that everyone who challenges one of their edits has to be doing so because of some Wikipedia conspiracy against Fiji. It would also help if they could realize that Wikipedia is not really the best way to try and resolve any real world disputes or differences of opinion about how Fiji is covered by reliable sources. Perhaps, this short block will give them time to reflect; otherwise, I think suggesting WP:ALTERNATIVE might be the only thing that can be done to try and help them further. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:26, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

I thought this would probably happen, but they are back editing Fiji articles now that their block has run out. Either they don't understand what the topic ban means (that's a possibility), or they've just decided to ignore and continue on as before because they feel they're in the right regardless of what anyone else says (more likely the case). -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:33, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, looks like you were right. I've made the usual escalation to 72 hours, but if they go straight back to editing Fiji articles after that - given that they haven't even attempted to edit anything else - I think the next block would be justified in being a straight jump to indef.

Urgent Email

Hey Yunshui,

I was creating an article and it was deleted (G11). However, I read the policies and I removed all external links and anything that has to do with "promotion". is it good to go now?

All the best,

@Seifeldawy: Absolutely not, and I have deleted it again. You simply cannot write that way on Wikipedia; the entire draft was nothing more than a laudatory paean to how amazing the subject is. You also haven't addressed the fact that you clearly know the subject in some capacity, and are most likely doing this as one of his employees; if you do not settle that question you are likely to be blocked from editing.

it seems a continued production of obvious socks only adding the same text to the same talk page. I'm not sure how to deal with that. Thanks in advance. --DoebLoggs (talk) 09:54, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Regarding Wiki Page

Hi Yunshui,

You have sent me a message regarding my wiki talk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:SandeepMarvah?markasread=174548884&markasreadwiki=enwiki#October_2019).

Below is my answer regarding our wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Asian_Business_School :

Please be informed that I am an employee of Asian Business School and not getting paid for any content updation directly or indirectly. The content shared is absolutely authentic and no compensation is associated with the content edits. We only request you to approve and publish the wiki page.

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Best Regards, — Preceding unsigned comment added by SandeepMarvah (talk • contribs) 10:46, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

You're an employee but you don't get paid? Sounds like a pretty unusual job... Regardless, even if you're an unpaid volunteer, you still have a clear conflict of interest, which you need to declare. Yunshui ^雲_水 10:51, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

(talk page watcher)Hi SandeepMarvah. Just want to add a couple of things to what Yunshui posted about COI editing. The first is that Wikipedia articles aren't owned by their subjects, their creators, or even those who edit them as explained in Wikipedia:Ownership of content; in others words, any article you create about your school will not be the school's Wikipedia page, but rather a Wikipedia article written about the school. This is an important thing for you and the school to understand because neither you nor it will have any final editorial control over the article and it can, in principle, be edited by anyone from anywhere around the world at anytime. So, if the school wants to have 100% control over what's written about it, Wikipedia isn't the right place for that. Only content which is in accordance with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines will be consider acceptable and anything else will be likely removed.In addition, you and anyone associated with the school will for the most part be expected to not directly edit the article yourselves, but instead propose changes be made on the article's talk page for others to assess.

The next thing is that only subjects considered to be Wikipedia notable are really only allowed to have articles written about them. The fact that the school exists and has it's own websites, etc. is not sufficient to establish Wikipedia notability; it needs to have received significant coverage in reliable sources which are independent and secondary. In other words, Wikipedia is not really interested in what the school is saying about itself, but rather what others such as major newspapers or magazines, etc. are saying about it.

The last thing is that all article content is going to be expected to supported by citations to reliable sources and that which isn't can be removed at any time. You may personally know lots of information about the school that is true, but such content will not be allowed in the article unless it can be verified by others.

Finally, one thing I noticed above is that you wrote We only request you to approve and publish the wiki page. Who is we? Wikipedia accounts aren't allowed to be shared among multiple persons as explained in WP:SHAREDACCOUNT; so, please make sure that you're the only person using this account. If someone else from you school wants to edit Wikipedia, please advise them to create their own account. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:41, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thom Bresh

This person clearly passes WP:NMUSIC with two major-label albums (ABC Records), nine charted singles on Hot Country Songs, and a nomination from the Academy of Country Music. I added three different newspaper articles, an AllMusic biography, and at least one major magazine's review of his album. Does this look like a sufficient WP:HEY job now?

Thank you for bringing that page to my attention; it was in fact an attempt by an undisclosed paid editor to hijack an existing article. I have restored the article (Miloňovice) to its correct content and title, and have blocked the user responsible. Yunshui ^雲_水 08:11, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

User:MHist01

Hi Yunshui. Since you've declined this editor's unblock request and the blocking admin is away to Nov. 1O, I thought maybe you can help sort of what to do at user talk:Ivanvector#User:MHist01. The file mentioned in the discussion is now on Commons, but it's copyright status is still unclear, and then there's the other content/files the editor created why they were evading their block. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:35, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

I've been through his page creations under that account and deleted most of them. A few, including Iona College Pipe Band, had sufficient contributions from others that I felt G5 wouldn't apply, but in the majority of cases, all of the content was his barring a few minor categorisations or typo fixes - those ones have been removed. Not really decided on the images - they aren't really "his" work, as such, and so there's a case to be made that we should hang on to them. The ones at Commons are out of my jurisdiction anyway. Yunshui ^雲_水 08:59, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for taking a look. I think that MHist101 and myself were the only real contributors to the pipe band article, and I was mostly doing cleanup and trying to find more sources. I can't really clean it up anymore, and I've been unable to find any better sourcing; so, I was thinking about sending it to AfD. I asked about it on some WikiProject talk pages, but nobody seemed to suggest any ways to improve it or where to find better sources. I and I believe others were willing to give MHist101 some more time to try and provide better sources in show of good faith, but that's unlikely to happen now. I understand that articles can sometimes be improved as a result of them ending up at AfD, but I don't think it's really good practice just to nominate something on the hope that others may improve it. At the same time, I don't think that WP:NEXIST is intended to be an excuse for keeping a iffy article, especially when WP:BEFORE has been tried and no sources have been found. So, not too sure what to do here. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:49, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Well, in the case of that article, you are the only other significant contributor - if you are happy for your contributions to be deleted there, then there's no reason not to delete it under G5 as well, without the need for an AFD discussion. Yunshui ^雲_水 13:40, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Understand and have no problem with G5, especially since I don't think MHist01 was being very forthcoming about their COI even though I was trying to help them out. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:54, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Cool; I'll go sort that out then. Yunshui ^雲_水 13:59, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Intractable behavior in regard of the Me Too movement article handling

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Salamandra85 (talk) 18:30, 6 November 2019 (UTC) You supported the rough violation of the most important not negotiable neutrality rule by CorbieVreccan, vandalism and ignored the corresponding unblock request. I will ask to withdraw your admin rights.
