ContributeurT Congrats, you test was successful, welcome to Wikipedia! CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 16:15, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
ContributeurT, I see that you asked a now deleted question about Draft:Gilles Grapinet. A few points to make:
  1. Is this your original account? If you've had previous accounts, but lost access to them, you need to say so.
  2. If you have a conflict of interest in Grapinet or his companies, or have been paid in any way, including being an employee of Grapinet or his companies, you need to disclose that fact. See WP:PAID for more info.
  3. The reason for the decline of the article was multi-fold. For starters, it reads pretty promotional, and has lots of buzzwords in it.
  4. Mainly, the draft didn't have sources that established Grapinet's notability. The sources mentioned Grapinet either briefly or not at all. Many of the sources were also not reliable. To get the draft approved, you'd need to find multiple quality sources that discuss Grapinet with more than just passing mentions. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 16:39, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you CaptainEek for your responses. Ok I just add on my user page the fact that I'm an employee of Worldline, the company led by Gilles Grapinet. hope it will help to publish his page. What's more, this draft we are trying to publish is a translation of the already published french page of Mr Grapinet (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilles_Grapinet).

  • You're speaking about buzzwords and others promotional facts, we did not have this blocking factors on french wikipedia. Is it different on the english version of wikipedia?
  • Ok for the notability i'm trying to find other sources.
  • Will it help if I first publish the company page?

Thank you by advance for your help ContributeurT (talk) 15:06, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ContributeurT, Yes, add on your userpage a disclosure, which you can do by adding the following text, including the brackets: {{paid|employer=Worldline}}.
Each language of Wikipedia has different standards. I don't know what they do on French Wiki, but here we do not allow promotional editing, and require our articles to be neutral.
Publishing a page for the company could help, but that isn't guaranteed. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 15:38, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your responses. In order to establish Mr Grapinet's notability, can I source French article too? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ContributeurT (talkcontribs) 21:22, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ContributeurT, Yes, you can use French language reliable sources. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 21:45, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Vermilion flycatcher

On 19 May 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Vermilion flycatcher, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Pyrocephalus, the genus name of the vermilion flycatcher (example pictured), literally means 'fire head'? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Vermilion flycatcher. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Vermilion flycatcher), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Template Editor rights

Is there a way I can get template editor rights for editing just a small amount of project related (DRN and Spoken Wikipedia)? --Galendalia CVU Member \ Chat Me Up 17:46, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Galendalia, Can't say that I'm the right person to ask about that, I'm not very familiar with permissions. If you want the perm, you can ask at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Template editor. Alternatively, if you wish to make just a small number of edits, you would be better off just submitting edit requests on the pages in question, or asking a template editor/admin to make the edits on your behalf.

Donald Trump mental health RfC

CaptainEek, are you able to edit your closure to provide clarification, or would I have to request that at WP:AN? I feel like the closing statement, "I read the consensus to be that there shall be no paragraph regarding the mental health of Donald Trump" is overly broad because it can be interpreted to mean that there can be no paragraph which includes any text whatsoever making any reference to "mental health". This seems to be how you yourself interpreted that.[1]) I don't see a policy reason for this. So for instance, if I proposed creating a "Personal image" subsection under Public profile with the below text, it could be reverted based on Consensus 39[2].

Personal image

Beginning in the 1980s, Trump had a strong presence in tabloid media where he was portrayed as a playboy and an extravagantly wealthy hero of the working class.[1] Political scientist Michael Nelson writes that Trump has cultivated an image as "the epitome of entrepreneurial success and glamour".[2]

During his political career, "Trump's unique personal style, brashness and disregard for conventional political norms and discourse" has won him both supporters and detractors, according to Gallup.[3] In response to questions raised about his temperament and mental status, Trump has described himself as a "very stable genius".[4][5][6][7]

You write, "Even if we don't take armchair diagnosis as fringe, any paragraph would have to be exactingly written to stay within BLP bounds."..."Even many of the support votes had a caveat that they would only support if the ensuing paragraph was tightly controlled and did not get into fringe issues such as Trump possibly having dementia." That only speaks to the possibility of using armchair diagnoses or including information meant to educate readers about specific diagnoses, not whether to include any mention of his mental health. You write, "While I personally think there could be some carefully worded addition at some point in the future, given the factors discussed: I read the consensus to be that there shall be no paragraph regarding the mental health of Donald Trump. Should substantial new information regarding Trump's mental health arise, feel free to open a new discussion. " This last text taken in context must also refer to diagnoses or medical opinions, but as I said it could be mistakenly interpreted to mean there could not even be a mention of the media story or his own comments about his mental health.

It sounded like you do believe that any mention whatsoever of his mental health was indeed addressed by the RfC close, because you communicated to me that "any paragraph about his mental health would need to be carefully written to give WP:DUE coverage and avoid WP:BLP issues." [3] But that's not a policy or consensus evaluation; of course any added text would have to adhere to policies.

Would you clarify that your close does not find that there shall be no text mentioning Trump's mental health? Thank you. Kolya Butternut (talk) 10:22, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

note re article

Hi CaptainEek. Avast and ahoy there!! congrats on your adminship. I hope it's okay if I still approach you periodically, to get your input on my efforts at editing here at Wikipedia? I can still really use your help and input on various things. thanks!!

could you please take a look at this article, when you have a chance?

  • The article is: 2020s in political history. As you can see, this article is one that I have created, in the hopes of providing it as a way for Wikipedia to continuously provide an overview and a chronicle of contemporary history, as events happen.

so far, the Wikipedia community seems to have accepted this new type of article for the most part. I would like to do everything I can to make sure this article is formatted logically, and can continue to develop and to be updated periodically.

If you have ideas or comments on the format used, or the content, or the basic article structure, feel free to let know. obviously I am hoping that new articles continue to be created on this basis, for each successive decade as time passes. so that is one reason that I would welcome any input on this. Please ping me when you reply. thanks!! --Sm8900 (talk) 14:13, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sm8900, I'm trying to see how that is distinct from 2020 in politics and government? I'm wondering if the article might be better titled as 2020s in politics and government, to match the year articles? Otherwise, seems to be good. It can always be tricky to keep these large scale articles "tamed", but its easier when there is someone (like you!) to keep watch over them. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 19:09, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks!! Appreciate your reply. I’ll give all of that some thought. Thanks! —Sm8900 (talk) 02:07, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ahoy, Cap'n

I read some of the discussion on Jimbo's page that you alluded to on my UTP, and decided it best to focus on other things...which led to another entirely different issue that reared its ugly head...but I survived the storm. One could safely say that I've found my sea legs. So...how are you holding up, Cap'n? Atsme Talk 📧 03:04, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Atsme, Arrr, not too shabby. Finally used to all the new admin buttons, and am now settling in, trying to see if I can still make the final round of the WikiCup...ayyy that would be some good booty to catch. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 17:13, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
that's great, Captain!! but what about the brand-new expanded sea cabin that you get as an admin? how are you liking that? I heard it has a bigger quarter gallery, and an oak-paneled wardroom? --Sm8900 (talk) 13:37, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I suspected as much, and it also explains the unexplained comment "and after discussing it with a few other editors".

Can you block this user please?

Hi, I see you're active now, I'm dealing with an editor who is violating ARBPIA 30/500 and shouldn't be editing, I warned the editor and placed a pagenotice but they still edit. They even said they will continue to do so until they build a script to do so. They originally edited under an IP and then created this username "Yeyp" as if that wasn't under 30/500, so I would appreciate if both the Yeyp and "65.18.220.200" were blocked so he wouldn't be able to come back. Also, if you can ECP the Murder of Aya Maasarwe page that would be great.I did request them both, but not sure how long that will take. Thanks in advance! Sir Joseph (talk) 03:41, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sir Joseph, It looks like MaterialScientist beat me to the block, but I have ECP'd the page. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 03:49, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
CaptainEek, yeah, I just saw that, thanks to both. Sir Joseph (talk) 03:51, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Most of that article isnt covered under ARBPIA and it should be unprotected. The template should also be changed to include the relatedcontent=yes flag, as literally the only part of the article that comes anywhere close to being included in ARBPIA is the victim's identification as a Palestinian (though how that becomes an ARBPIA issue is still a little murky to me), but by no means should the article as a whole be extended confirmed protected. Can you drop it back to a time-limited semi? This article is about an exchange student murdered in Australia, not the Arab-Israeli conflict. nableezy - 20:00, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nableezy, you can change the pagenotice yourself since you have pagenotice rights. I don't know why the ARBPIA talk page notice has the whole page under sanction, I didn't put that there, but considering that the page was getting lots of vandals, there does need some ECP protection on the page. Sir Joseph (talk) 20:11, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
ARBPIA4 requires that once a notice is added it only be removed by an admin. I think "downgrading" it to relatedcontent is close enough Id rather have the admin (or the original creator, that being you) do it. I think semi for the time being would be enough, it would have blocked all the previous disruption (including the until now ignored arbpia vios). I dont think indefinite extended-confirmed is appropriate for an article with maybe 5 words possibly connected to the topic when that connection itself is weak. nableezy - 20:13, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nableezy, the problem is that the related-content template is not the same template currently used on the page. The two line template now used does not have a related content usage. The only template that has a related content is the ARBCOM 3/500 one that is huge. I put in the page notice yesterday, so I will edit it to related-content, but I don't think we should put the whole ARBCOM 30/500 template, I think we should just modify the existing template and create a related content variable. Sir Joseph (talk) 20:22, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Can ask Doug Weller to change {{Ds/talk notice|a-i|long}} to {{ArbCom Arab-Israeli enforcement}} as he put that template there. nableezy - 20:33, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note that Template:Ds/talk notice still instructs admins to use the former. El_C 20:37, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • If my protection was in the wrong, I will definitely drop it back to semi. But I'll admit I'm a bit confused, perhaps folks can help. My understanding of WP:ARBPIA4 was that the conflict area included related content, and that related content could be given general sanctions, and that the general sanctions included 500/30. The general way to achieve 500/30 is of course ECP. The Murder of Aya Maasarwe does appear tenuously related at first, but given that there was an extensive talk page discussion over her nationality, and edit warring over whether she was Palestinian or Israeli, this appears to fall resoundingly into the "related" content. However I'm not an ARBPIA expert, so I'd welcome some feedback and would love to get a better understanding of ARBPIA :) CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 20:55, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • CaptainEek, no one is an ARBPIA expert (except perhaps the few editors who focus largely on the ARBPIA topic area), certainly no uninvolved admin that I know of is. The rules remain arcane and contradictory to this day, especially the "primary articles" versus "related content," and when to use protection (ECP and otherwise) vis-à-vis what the templates instructs admins to do. Out of all the discretionary sanctions, it is the most cumbersome topic area — the most difficult to navigate, by far, to editors and admins alike. El_C 21:04, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • CaptainEek, it needed ECP, that's not an issue, the issue now is whether to make it indef or just a semi, for like a couple of weeks. Then there is a discussion, on whether the whole article needs ARBPIA, which I agree, it doesn't. The problem is that the current template is the wrong one since there is no "relatedcontentflag" for that one, and the other template that does have a related content, while you can put it in, would be huge. My suggestion would be to make a new template rather than add a huge template but I don't really care either way. As for protection, I don't mind if you lower it, but I think it needs to cool off first, and I think a month would be fine until the vandal loses his attention. Sir Joseph (talk) 21:06, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think I have a fairly good understanding despite my lowly status. But an article falls into one of three categories, wholly within the topic area, partially within the topic area (relate content), and wholly outside the topic area. For example, the sections of Bill Clinton that discuss Oslo and Wye River dont make the article wholly within the topic area, so the rules on 50/300 and 1RR do not apply to that entire article. The instead only apply to that portion of the article that relates to the topic area. And as you cant really protect just a section and you cant rely on ARBPIA4 to protect the non-related parts that mostly rules out extended-confirmed protection of the entire article. As far as I can tell, this is governed by Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel_articles_4#General_sanctions_upon_related_content. The usual methods for disruption there (semi-protection or full-protection, blocks) would be the normal course of action there. Then an article like Ariel Sharon is so inextricably linked to the topic area that any edit to it is covered, even things that are themselves unrelated (his childhood for example). That article can be extended-confirmed as it is a primary topic area article. The Murder of Aya Maasarwe article is in the Bill Clinton (less really, it's literally a couple of words), which to me means if there is a single ip edit-warring they can be blocked, multiple ips can be semi-protected against, a user can be blocked and so on. But as it stands, theres a level of protection higher than both required and in my understanding allowed for material wholly outside of the topic area. nableezy - 23:04, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nableezy: do you still think I should do something? Doug Weller talk 17:50, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Doug Weller: Yeah, I think the notice at Talk:Murder of Aya Maasarwe should be changed from {{Ds/talk notice|a-i|long}} to {{ArbCom Arab-Israeli enforcement|relatedcontent=y}} as that makes clear the sanctions only apply to the "related content". nableezy - 17:52, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Nableezy: done. I was about to but decided to make sure you agreed. It's better even if the page says use the old one. Doug Weller talk 17:59, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Page protection extension, please?

Can you please extend the protection on the List of Perry Mason episodes page? The admin who denied my request to extend the protection said it was because there'd been no edit warring since the protection ended...but that was only a little over an hour. Can we please have the page protection extended long enough to conclude the dispute resolution? Thanks. Dharmabumstead (talk) 07:41, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dharmabumstead, well seeing as how it is currently at DRN, the edit warring seems to have calmed. Page protection is not pre-emptive. Though if someone reverts the content again, leave me a post ASAP and I will protect the page again. Also, if Zeus Maximus keeps doing his... roleplay? shtick, lemme know too so I can deal with that.

OK. Thanks. Dharmabumstead (talk) 07:59, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like instead of going back to edit warring or participating in the dispute resolution and coming to a consensus on the existing List of Perry Mason episodes page, he's just cloned it and started his own. Dharmabumstead (talk) 23:23, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

intro to editing ancient history topics.

Hi. Just letting you know, I have begun a draft of a brief intro to editing ancient history topics. what do you think of this draft? I have asked User:Iazyges to look this over, and to help me to develop this document. If you wish, please feel free to add any sources you wish to the list below.

this draft is transcluded from a document in my own user space. that way, if I make multiple edits, I won't cause multiple notifications to be sent, as they would if I wrote the draft here on your talk page. let me know what you think, and please make any edits that you may wish. as you can see, this is very brief and concise; I don't feel a need to make this overly complex. however, if there is anything you wish to add, please feel free to do so. thanks!!! --Sm8900 (talk) 22:36, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sm8900, Seems like that will be a good resource for the history project. Brief, yet concise, is good for help pages! CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 22:50, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Issues at one article

Hello, will you take a look at this article which is currently in a bad condition.[4] One editor reverted my edits despite various issues with the text. The intro really needed a clean up since it was too long and not about Iraq but Mesopotamia. It honestly seems to be an attempt to push down our throats that there is a link between Iraq and Mesopotamia (The first sentence in the article: The Iraqi people, sometimes colloquially, Mesopotamians, or the people of Mesopotamia is honestly laughable. I justified my edits in the edit summary but one editor reverted my edits claiming the info was sourced and extremely relevant. Some of the references don't even mention 'Iraq' and some are straightforward bad sources (ref. 24 is a blog). Thanks in advance. --Semsûrî (talk) 15:50, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Feku Diwas"

It's a slang in Hindi, see "Feku" and "feku" on Wiktionary. "Diwas" or "Divas" simply means Day. — Hemant Dabral (📞) 04:20, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Three Year Letterman

Hello, I have a question regarding the speedy deletion of the draft for the Three Year Letterman page. Why was it nominated for speedy deletion? It did not violate any criteria. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CoachLettermanStan (talkcontribs) 23:53, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CoachLettermanStan, WP:G11 (promotion) definitely applies. As evidenced by your username, and the tone of the article, you intended to promote said Coach. Wikipedia is not for promotion. The language was also hardly that of a formal encyclopedia. Wikipedia writes articles about subjects that have received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Unless your coach gets a book written about himself, or a write-up by a major news organization, he's going to have to stick to Twitter. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 00:10, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alicia Garza

Regarding our discussion yesterday on IRC about Alicia Garza when I removed the info after the subject of the article's request, editors have been re-adding it. I removed it, informing the editors that the information has been in the article since 2015, but that the sources were only published in 2018, so WP:CIRCULAR. That's what someone had mentioned on IRC. But then I noticed that that is inaccurate - the information was only added after the publication of the sources, so I self-reverted.

However, I thought we had established yesterday that since I was emailed that the subject of the article is being personally attacked based on the info in question, the appropriate thing to do is err on the side of caution, and keep the info out of the article. If so, why are editors adding it despite the fact that I explained that in my edit summary?

Thanks for the help, Hillelfrei talk 16:24, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hillelfrei, If editors think the personal life section should be kept, it would be best to open a talk page discussion. I question if the date of birth is right, or even necessary. It is sourced to blackpast.org, which seems to be hosted on a wordpress-esque cite, so I question if the content is user generated...but this seems to be a question for a talk page or perhaps the WP:RSN. The BLP Noticeboard might also be a good place to ask. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 17:47, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. One question - if I start a discussion, is the email I received relevant? Or, is it the case that now that the content removal received pushback, the subject of the article would have to go through OTRS and the email is no longer a factor? Hillelfrei talk 18:37, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hillelfrei, At this point, it would probably be best for the subject to go through OTRS. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 18:39, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Is info-en-q@wikimedia.org the correct address to direct them to? Hillelfrei talk 18:45, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock request by an imposter

Hi CaptainEek, fyi the unblock request you declined at User talk:STAY AT HOME FOR THE NHS wasn't made by that user, but by a confirmed sock of LTA user Shingling334, masquerading as them - see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Shingling334. I was going to remove the request, but I saw you had replied. Just to tie up loose ends, maybe you could revert the talk page to the version of 22:11, 23 May 2020 by‎ John from Idegon? Thanks... --IamNotU (talk) 20:59, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Help with Deleted Post

I was told this is the best way to get some help. You deleted my post for Flirt4Free and wanted some assistance. We went through to ensure there was a neutral voice and to give as much information and references on the topic. Would you be able to help in assisting me to fix this so it can be posted? Eloravsmedia (talk) 15:35, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Eloravsmedia, The voice was far from neutral, and super promotional. GoingBatty's feedback was useful: Phrases such as "longest-running adult cam network", "industry leader", "positioned themselves for exponential growth" and "continued to grow their brand" seem promotional, not encyclopedic. If you really wish to create the page, start it as a draft again, using the article wizard. It will need to read like formal encyclopedic English. Be warned: we don't handhold paid editors. Since you are being paid (and we are not), we expect you to be able to commit the time to read our policies, and figure out how to properly write an article and get it approved. You should realize that not every company can have an article, based on our rules on notability. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 17:57, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That was the first draft that was deleted. The article was rewritten without such words and still deleted so clearly it was deleted then without being read. The only word was longest-running cam site because Flirt4Free.com was the first camming site created. This is not my job and posting as a favor. I have read the policies and this site is very conflicting with what it asks to what is even there. My articles are being deleted immediately with no chance to edit them. I understand why they would not want someone who is being paid to post but we have all the information and sources so it doesnt seem fair that we would not be able to post our article. Also I ensured the content was rewritten to not be promotional but only informative.Eloravsmedia (talk) 16:27, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Eloravsmedia, Also relevant is Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Flirt4free, which established that this website was not notable. Now, if you can create a high quality draft with reliable sources that is free of promotional language, you could overcome that. But so far your articles have not. The last deleted version still had issues with poor sources and promotion. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 16:55, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Providing Additional Information In Response To Your Message

<ref>https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0258371/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1<ref>

As I do not understand how responding to your message works, I hope I am doing this the right way...

Thank you for your message but your response was woefully inadequate, not to mention insulting. Please read the following for additional information regarding who I am and reconsider reinstating my page. I wanted to have a Wikipedia professional create a new article for me, with more extensive information and proper references but cannot seem to get past the damage done by the removal of my old page (which had very little information on it). Respectfully, it seems you could at least explore my credits (references contained in the information below) and maybe even contact me like the last Wiki Admin (or whatever your position is) did a few years ago (see further info in the following paragraph). I can be reached at 310-858-6709 and at 310-592-8675. (I screen all calls because being a Hollywood actor, I get LOTS of curiosity seekers trying to reach me.)

When I recently asked for my page to be reinstated, you (CaptainEek) responded, actually negating my entire life and 30+ year career, to say "being just an actor is not enough" to be on Wikipedia. Not pleasant to have one's entire life wiped out without ANY direct contact whatsoever. The last Wikipedia Admin, who helped me clear the copyright on my photo several years ago, was kind enough to call me, talk with me, ask questions, find out facts, and determine that I was indeed worthy of a Wikipedia page.

I am NOT "just an actor", as you wrote. I am an established Hollywood character actor working in the industry for over 30 years who has appeared on over 100 television shows and in a variety of movies. I am a member of the Screen Actors Guild, the American Federation of Radio and Television Artists, Actor's Equity Association, the American Guild of Variety Artists, and the Television Academy (producers of the Emmy's) -- please note, an actor does NOT get in any of these organizations, particularly the Television Academy, without extensive credits and career exposure. Even TV Guide cites me as a "celebrity". Among my credits, I have appeared in three different Star Trek series (the Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, & Enterprise) and am one of less than a handful of actors who has appeared in both the Star Trek and Doctor Who universes (I made an appearance on the Doctor Who spinoff series Torchwood). In 2016, both the MIRROR and the SUN newspapers in London, England cited me as one of only three actors ranked as "3rd place for the most underrated television actor ***OF ALL TIME***" <ref>www.VanEpperson.com/press<ref>, based on research that compared the all time top TV shows with a list of actors to see who had appeared on them more than any other actors (again, you can see that article on my website at <www.VanEpperson.com/press>. I am also a respected acting coach, acting teacher, and personal mentor for actors in Hollywood.

Now, the problem is that every time I ask to create a new (more extensive) page for Van Epperson on Wikipedia, all the system will offer me is that my page does not exist and has been deleted after "discussion". There is no remedy for my page's removal, which means my 30 year acting career is damaged by Wikipedia for not recognizing me even though there are LOTS of other Wiki cites and various websites that cite me as worthy of inclusion <ref>https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Van_Epperson<ref> <ref>https://24.fandom.com/wiki/Van_Epperson<ref> <ref>https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/van_epperson<ref> As you can see, there are a variety of websites that cite me a "Hollywood celebrity". The removal of my Wikipedia page seems to be everlasting and irreparable -- and that does not seem fair in any way.

Please reinstate my page or at least allow me to have a new one created and submit it to see if it is acceptable by Wikipedia standards WITHOUT BEING CUT OFF BY THE PREVIOUS DELETION. I do not mean to violate any Wikipedia rules but after some two decades on Wikipedia, and with a copyright approved photo, a 30 year history in Hollywood, appearances on over 100 TV shows and several movies, I believe there is more than enough reason for me to be listed on Wikipedia. I was not aware my page on Wikipedia was gone until other members of the Hollywood community contacted me to ask why I am NOT on Wikipedia, pointing out that there are MANY actors who ARE on Wikipedia with FAR less credits and notoriety than I have.

Yeswolf, IMDb and other Wiki's are not reliable sources. If you think you meet our notability guidelines, find me 5 news articles from reliable sources that discuss you in detail. Also, I am highly suspicious that any editor would actually call you, that is definitely not something we do these days for privacy and safety reasons.

Juneteenth

'ello, Captain, and I hope all is well! I've added a paragraph to the 'celebration' section of Juneteenth, and I think I've expanded it as much as I can. I know it's painfully short, but there's also painfully little written on the topic. Anything you could add or neaten up would be greatly appreciated.
